Bush - "Machine Head" - live TV - 1996

[yoginiclare]

This one goes out to all the women who grew their BUSHes for Fanuary. xxx

[yoginiclare]

Not only do BUSH have a great sound Gavin wasshisname makes all the songs sexy. Bring back BUSH...reminds me i need a wax.

[Pacheko296]

@yoginiclare Gavin Rossdale

[thespecter2]

LOL Scott Wolf... this is so 90's.

[BelovedBushMusic]

Could you make the video visible again. I've never seen it...  Thanks!!

[star000100]

I noticed he's wearing a ring on his left ring finger, but he wasn't married at that time, was he? Why is the ring on that finger?

[oactrey]

@star000100 I don't know, you should go on every bush video and ask that same question. Haha I'm just joking

[ersteskissen]

@star000100 In Europe we wear the ring on our left ring finger when we´re engaged. We change it to the right when we get married. I know in the states it goes the other way, but Gavin is from London. ;-)

[554Space]

these guys are awesome!

[xavozaz]

Vivan los 90`s!!!

[bradsnuff1]

check out my cover of this song for americas got talent they wanted it raw so thats what i gave them its bradsnuff1 type it in the search engine thank you guys.

[Porly62]

Is that Captain Jack? O.O

[vikkisixxxx]

G-d. Gavin Rossdale is soooo sexy!!! <3

[jarfon1]

I dont know why its so hard for people to believe that Bush took some of Nirvana's sound and put their own spin on it. If you were around for the grunge movement you would have known. I wouldnt go as far as calling them wannabes because the talent is there. The sound however, is borrowed.

[Rocked84]

@jarfon1 you could say that about just any band, alot of bands admit they were heavily influenced by other bands so of course its going to show up in their music its nothing new

[aarondkemp]

Dang, they sound good live!

[robpm9996]

I think Gavin Rossdale was the inspiration for Hyde from that 70s show lol

[kaizokuGR]

whats chad decker doing here ?

[metaller8]

I think the problem is that Gavin sounds like what people THINK Kurt Cobain sounded like, not what he actually did sound like.

[markx30]

TEMAZO..

[99haha99]

@elisavet4eva Actually, Nirvana was big in the 90's and they're not as big today as they were then, Trust me.

[BrokenBondsOfSanity]

A voice in the clutter of voices to stop the fight is, in itself, an additional soldier to the endless battle. Nuff said.

[theocruz02]

When people that like music starts to say "my music is better than yours, die bastard!" we are able to understando why the world is so fucked up!

Bush is a great rock and roll band. Also Nirvana. Stop bitching, assholes, let`s gona ban our heads while having some beer listening to ROCK!

[gillesdeleuze1978]

@theocruz02

I am agree with you, buddy

[mgeiger5]

dude to say Bush sounds like Nirvana, are you kidding me? Check your tunes, and history of influences again... Not to mention, I think Offspring during the 90s sounded more like Nirvana then Bush did. You're a fucking uneducated tool to make such a statement comparing Gavin Rossdale and Kurt Cobain, idiot!

[ihatelumberjacks]

Nigel's wearing a wig, lol @ trying to market a "young hip" band in America back then.. Or was it an "inside joke" of the band?... actually, who cares...

[mommaof3babyboys]

WOW, flashback! I taped this on VHS- live! Anyone have a VCR I can borrow to view my archives?

[pwbdecker]

I miss rock and roll =(

[CaxaYol]

when i first heard this song, my mind BLAHBLAHed!

[BertetShow]

i always thought this was bush BY machine head... lol dont give me crap im only 14

[DILLONSHWING]

@BertetShow ..and that comment really shows it

[jb0Ogi3]

@DILLONSHWING Kid is 14, he says don't give him crap, and yet you do. I'm 18, and I thought the same. If you don't know something, you don't know it. The only way to learn it is by finding out. We both found out. And you my friend, you are a fucking dick to pick on a 14 year old child.

[SpunAndDone]

I definitely wouldnt say SLTS is a debaser rip off. Many bands use a loud-quiet-loud technique. I know Kurt said he was basically trying to rip off the pixies... Sometimes they just get over-analyzed. I feel they were more punk than grunge. There is more similarites between Bush and Nirvana than Pixies and Nirvana.

[StarDida]

Is this Fender Jazzmaster that Gavin's using?

[01Indiekid]

@StarDida yea its either a jazzmaster or jaguar two very similar model guitars fender made. I have a Jaguar:)

[nashr1752]

@StarDida Definitely a Jazzmaster. It's missing some electronics.

[sfm073]

Not only does this dude have the sweetest voice, but he also gets to bang Gwen Stefani.

[teddyflash2000]

This was the first time I ever say Bush. I can't remember what show it was. It was Fox's counterpart to Saturday Night Live. I think Melissa Etheridge performed on this show also!

[kanedasrifle]

LOL Bush!

[AugustusOctavianus8]

The band that started it all for me..

[Ferrariguy13579]

how come people cant sing like this anymore?

[pacquiaobummer]

lol the bald guitarist wore a wig!

[CMC13C]

WOW THIS KICK ASS !!!!!

[thielees]

Who passed out free valium to the crowd?

[adabuensuceso]

honestly i do enjoy bushs music cause its the best after kurt fade away ... fuck up justin b$#$ier if kurt was alive he surely pissed on justin face off

[ibbotson22]

is that guy at the beginning the dude from Tourchwood ?

[jedijud]

The pixies are fu$kin stupid?????????????Its more than a feeling rip off

[SuperMegabar]

@jedijud No. it was actually Kurt who said it was a Pixies rip off.

[MissusFingerBottom]

I can't seem to find a live version of Out of this world...

[MrCowboys08]

@TheShyPieGuy that's some funny shit bro ha ha ha

[darksade2000]

i really dont undertand people writing bad things about this amazing band...probally rappers or stupid headbangers.....maybe nirvana lovers....ouch!

BUSH ROCKS!!!

[RocbarStarbie]

i never noticed all the lyrics are about meditation and bu-dist philosophy.. watch your machine head..breath in breath out.. now try that .. works great.. 3000 years and it still rocks

[Snigglesnock]

0:46 giraffe mother fucker hes havin too much fun

[zaneblaise]

bush could never replace nirvana but when kurt died ending nirvana bush was a decent alternative...and at the time i remeber thinking bush was a nirvana copy but i was 14!

[nachoKamacho666]

new jersey dev shut your white trash trailer park mouth.. how albums did you sell lol

[qtpie928]

SEXY!!!!

[newjerseydev]

Sorry but he is a talentless hack-cant play guuitar and his voice sucks. simply put he was the son of a rich london family and like president bush got into the biz thru conry capitalism, he has no talent and got lucky. silver spoon for a guitar

[FoodServe]

@newjerseydev I see the same comment on all his videos. If you hate him, stop watching dude. Simple as that. Don't make a fool of yourself.

[newjerseydev]

@FoodServe Mate i only made two comments. I doubt youd see comments on "all" the videos. You stalking me? ;-) I actually used to like MAchinehead until i grew up and realised this joker is in fact talentless. I still like the song (studio version) and stumbled upon it live and almost passed out from how crap it was. I was merely giving my two cents. no need to get testy

[rockboy360]

before i knew it was bush i thought this was a nu metal song cuz it kinda feels like that xD

GRUNGE AND NU METAL (BEST ROCK GENRES EVER) 90's and early 2000's ruled.

[TheCodykirkland]

i was born in 94 and i should of been this age in 94 im 16 and i love the 90s this IS REAL MUSIC

[ItalyxLala]

@TheCodykirkland I feel the same way.. except substitute 94 with 93 and 16 with 17 haha

[Cimbarius]

this song totally rocks - pure energy - just like "Greedy Fly". 2 great tracks by Bush.

[miketheblueeagle]

sixteen stone came out in 1994 though so how is machinehead there new single this would of been promoting there razorblade suitcase album right?

[FeelGoodDrag16]

@miketheblueeagle Machinehead was the last single that came out off of Sixteen Stone. Razorblade suitcase didnt come out til November of 96.

[mattsisto]

Wow @ this mix.

[closetstudiomx]

If Bush was a Nirvana "wannabe" then Nirvana was a Pixies "wannabe" (smells like teen spirit its a rip off from the pixies) both bands share similar influences and enjoyed great success, honestly as a fan of Bush and Nirvana I barely hear similarities, except from "little things" bush has a more dense sound and Gavin's voice doesn't sound like Kurt's at all.

[Milesback1]

@closetstudiomx no smells like teen spirit is a rip off of a band called australian crawl's "daughters of the northern coast" the riff is completely stolen from that song

[Christiantheory]

@closetstudiomx People are getting used to underline every "similarity" they can find, maybe to feel like they know a lot about music while they're missing a great tune!!!

[uzickimajmunac]

@closetstudiomx bad copy of nirvana!

[fossilbox1991]

@uzickimajmunac good copy of nirvana

[uzickimajmunac]

@fossilbox1991 so true!

[Milesback1]

@closetstudiomx no smells llike teen spirit was a complete rip off of australian crawl, but ya i dont get how anyone thinks theyre wannabes

[marlenebentley1989]

@closetstudiomx Totally dude. I don't get it why people say that. Bush and Nirvana have completely different sounds, I think it's people who are butt-hurt at Kurt's passing or something.

BTW "little things" sounds like a rip off of this one latin rock band Mana. Which song I forgot.

[amremorse12]

@marlenebentley1989 how dare you mention mana. I grew in Costa Rica listening to that shit in bars...it is very vile.

[vikkisixxxx]

@closetstudiomx G-d!!! Thank YOU!!!!!!!

[92robbieb]

PEOPLE will always compare the two because they are the same genre but it doesnt mean that bush ' copyed' nirvava

[crogangstaa]

LOL i dont get why they compare nirvana and Bush. Gavin has a much more different voice than kurt. Bush leads more to an grunge to rock/alternative style while u Nirvana is heavily based on punk rock. The only similarity is they both use lots of distortion.

[TheRandomnessofAandP]

@crogangstaa ehh...nirvana is from the floor up grunge

[IRONSEAN7]

Bush and nirvana are both great but different,,, dont call bush ,, nirvana wannabees cause they aint,, their successful, good rock artists,,, i mean,,,, sadly enough,, nirvana is dead,,,, who would wanna BE that,, so dont call them wannabees,....

[Chunibrow]

NIGEL HAD HAIR?!?!?

[ohtheguilt33]

@Chunibrow nah its a wig, i remember them talking about it in one of there interviews.

[OneManAndHisToaster]

This music pwns!!!!!!!! moshhhhhhhhhhh xD

[geoprism930]

holy crap Nigel with HAIR! great performance...

[kurtgerald23]

Ladies and germstleman  Bush!!!!!!

[emidrums27]

bush es una muy buena banda pero no le llega ni a los talones a nirvana..nirvana mucho mejor..pero me gusta mucho bush..

[tubehead357]

This song has the BEST INTRO ever! Bush 4 Life!

[mratcliff0430]

bush? nirvanna?......if u compare ur stupid bc bush is pure alternative while nirvanna is grunge and they have distinct styles not relating to each others to compare to

[teemunknee]

MAN that's a sexy DC Jr.!!!!!!

[teemunknee]

Is that Scott Wolf on the bongos? lol

[klino67]

this tune rocks.. even though we got some dude that has been on tv..lol

[NoQuattro]

I remember watching this live. It was a short-lived sketch comedy show hosted by Roseanne. I recorded this and watched it many, many times. My first favorite band.

[MacDragard]

I actually remember seeing this on TV when it came out, particularly the part at the beginning where he rubs the guitar against his back.

[mielkez1]

No, dumbasses. Bush is not grunge. In fact, they are THE BAND credited with ending the grunge movement. Look it up. They come around in 1995/96, the same time grunge began to fade away.

[MrChayeah]

@mielkez1 Man, you're gay....look it up.

[harofire]

love the crowd...

[talebi818]

Rossdale would have survived in the grunge era, he could actually sing.

[NikitaGem]

sixteen was their best.

[jayslilwoman]

Nigel with the wig!!! Love it :)

[cb8624]

bush have so many songs that a lot of ppl havent heard of, like y didnt they ever promote float? if they had mad that their single off of golden state that album would have made more money cuz thats prolly the best song they ever did, but machine head is one of my favs

[ntrnate]

breeth in brreeth out thats what she said,bioch

[TheTerrorUforgot]

@ntrnate And then she choked.

[CapnMow]

This is from a 1996 Fox sketch comedy show Roseanne hosted, called "Saturday Night Special." This performance was from the debut episode.

[heizgoth]

Deaf dumb and thirty

Starting to deserve this

Leaning on my conscience wall

Blood is like wine

Unconscious all the time

If I had it all again

I'd change it all

[heizgoth]

Breathe in breathe out Tied to a wheel fingers got to feel Bleeding through a tourniquet smile I spin on a whim slide to the right I felt you like electric light For our love For our fear For our rise against the years and years and years Chorus: Got a machinehead better than the rest Green to red machinehead I walk from my machine I walk from my machine

[petabajoocho]

I saw Bush play in Spokane, Washington in late April 1996 and they had No Doubt, Goo Goo Dolls and Stabbing Westward opening up for them that night. Sweet lineup. Got to see Gwen Stefani with a bunch of the guys at Kentucky Fried Chicken havin lunch earlier that day too. NICE!

[disarmyou84]

thats sweet bro

[giseba7]

Rossdale, one of the hottest guys in music!

[B33Jocr]

And that guy knocked up Gwen Stefani..

[xbrokenxmelodyx]

its a wig

[birdy47]

wasnt the Lead Guitarist bald? whos this guy?

[WoWcrockpot]

yer prolly thinkin bout Live dawg...Live's singer Ed Kowalczyk is bald

[birdy47]

No.... the guitarist (Not Gavin) is bald, hes on all the Music Videos

[WoWcrockpot]

doh! haha ya...my bad been up all night...

[wfbrown]

@birdy47 Bush had a change at lead guitar. This video was made in 1996 and the videos you see such as Bush at Woodstock were made in 1999 with the new bald guy. Not sure when the switch in lead guitarist was made.

[birdy47]

but on music videos like Little Things and Come Down the bald guys there and thos were before 1996?

[wfbrown]

@birdy47 Yea I see what you are saying. Did a Wiki on Bush and found: "Pulsford left the band after the release of Golden State to spend more time with his family. Chris Traynor took over on lead guitar for the subsequent tour, which would turn out to be Bush's last." This was after 2001. Not sure what is going on here.  Maybe this is Pulsford with hair, or maybe someone else was sitting in.

[birdy47]

ahhh, thanks for the info my good sir.

[seekingsbury]

Nigel is there... he's just wearing a wig :)

[ValiumCherryWine]

haha noooo, its all nigel pulsford.

nigel left much later during the golden state tour and was replaced by chris traynor for a few shows

[birdy47]

oh i found out it is him, but hes wearing a wig for a laugh

[wfblvb6469]

ok, thanks. He must have superglued that rag to his head.

[MrKelidis]

the best live group ever...

[ColorsBright]

im not diging Gavins vocal on this live version.

[kanedasrifle]

@ Starlitblonde your citys music scene changed my fucking world!

Just wanted to pay my respect.  (I'd love to visit one day)

Peace, and a happy new year.

[Starlitblond]

wow... what a great email... Happy New Year to you... I am going over to your site right now..

I do however for get to breathe.. I swear to god...

[Starlitblond]

Gavin was great in the movie Constantine.. way better looking then Keanu.. He seems to be gifted in all of the arts.

[kanedasrifle]

Merry Christmas. Peace.

[kanedasrifle]

Not everyone in the UK was into Britpop, thats quite a naive misconception, me personally i was into Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Soundgarden, NIN, I love American music ,always have, but i like my music original, not derivative, shameless cash ins, which Bush no doubt were. When the alternative rock boom ended, the audience where left there standing with nothing, but Bush , Silverchair, and others i care not to mention, hence the term "post grunge" (wiki it)

[Starlitblond]

Nice... I agree..

[lamejorchela]

me llegasa al wevo el mejor pisco

[kanedasrifle]

Bush are Post Grunge, Unoriginal, And critically panned.

Which is why the UK never gave a shit about them.

They dont even compare to the great bands they try to emulate (rip off).

[cmmo28]

And the english people of the 90s knew so much of music that they got the amazing idea of create the britpop as response to grunge. They prefer listen oasis and blur than bush. Britpop is bullshit!!!! Bush is the best english band of the 90s!

[birdy47]

yeah im English and most Britpop is shit, Oasis are o.k. but Bush are amazing! so in my top 10! top 3 actully!

[birdy47]

Their were alot of other British Grunge bands like Headswim, Placebo, Feeder (Polythene album), Send No Flowers and ofcorse Bush.

Just many of them sadly did not reach mainstream success.

[grungeMudhoney]

chingon el post grunge

[mrguitarguy01]

Damn he sounds exactly the same live as he does on the song.

[Starlitblond]

lol.. you're so funny...

[matiass1994]

arghhhh why I didn´t born in the 70´s!!! :,-(

[Starlitblond]

Holy shit... what a great song! That Gavin is fine!! My grandson is named Gavin!

[colbymercury]

Who is the douche that thinks he is Andy Kaufman.

[slayar764]

I think I came at 2:42

[MXguy322]

HAHAHA I Think they turn off gavins guitar a few times!!! hahaha

[TheShyPieGuy]

I hate when people compair Bush to Nirvana...

Their both great.

[ColorsBright]

Bush is closer to Catherine Wheel.... Nirvana, no way.

[OneManAndHisToaster]

@TheShyPieGuy Amen!

[HughJawang]

@TheShyPieGuy

I hate when people don't know the difference between "they're" and "their".

[jjim0437]

@HughJawang or "there"

[melcochudo]

@HughJawang I hate when people think everybody speak english.

[SoCalDazed]

@HughJawang

I like when people write "should of" instead of "should have"...

but they can all run 100+ apps simultaneously on their phones & tweet while driving

ok, thats my rant for today, going surfing ...

[thetrollmonger]

@HughJawang or "too" and "to"

[meandhim4u]

@HughJawang what do you use "their" for again? or "there"

[mattsisto]

@TheShyPieGuy Spelling.

[styrofoamtomato]

Nothing but a POOR MAN'S NIRVANA! Bush Sucks!

[jronson22]

Those were the days.

[jennyinjapan]

god dammit gavin is fine. is this SNL?

[fleamcgruff]

Perfect.

[Shell675]

Gavin will and always ROCK in my book!

[nothingmanefj]

nice guitar!!!!!!!!!!!!!

jazzmaster

[rockandroll4life1]

[seekingsbury]
