Drinking Tequila With Bush’s Gavin Rossdale
27.11.2023 - 17:41 / forbes.com
After almost 30 years together, 24 million records sold and one billion song streams, frontman Gavin Rossdale and his band Bush have released ‘ Loaded: The Greatest Hits 1994-2023 .’ In addition to a passion for cooking and his own clothing line , Rossdale has taken on the issue of gun violence in America by playing a series of shows to benefit Artists For Action — including a combined concert with Sheryl Crow, Billie Eilish and Peter Gabriel. I met with Rossdale at Double Chicken Please in New York where we discussed what drew him to this issue, his favorite drinks and why you may want him on your jury if you’re in serious trouble.
What was your first drink?
I had a big night with cider when I was 15 or 16 and I haven't been able to drink it since. That was not a good journey. Then in England it was a lot of Stella Artois. I had a leaning into Jameson. That was my kind of my West London: The Clash, Sound Systems and stuff, beer and a Jameson in dodgy pubs on Portobello Road.
What do you enjoy now?
Don Julio 1942 or Reposado. I like to nurse tequila with one large cube of ice with a really cold Sapporo. I also love sake. I enjoy the way that it f%$!s me up - in a nice way. Always the dry crisp ones with the floral notes.
And wine?
I love wine. Brunello, Montepulciano and Bordeaux. I've come to realize that I actually don't like them as old as I thought I did. When they get very old and more prized they make me feel worse the next day. 15 or 20-years-old it’s fine. I feel the same way about dry-aged meat. It’s 28 days max.
When you started touring with Bush did that expand the food and drinks you liked?
No. The money helped me expand what I liked (laughs). Backstage is always a s!#tshow more or less. It was more when I was off tour. I love to find the best restaurants in town.
You’re in New York right now to perform at Artists For Action. Why is this issue important to you.
Well it’s important as a dad and as a human being. It's been 400 mass shootings in America this year, right? This is not political it's just humanistic. I got asked by Artists for Action to perform. And there's another organization called Sandy Hook Promise. Mark Barden, his seven year old son was killed in one of these shootings. So he stopped being a musician to start this charity. I'm thrilled to do this.
Being from the UK, what is your perspective of gun violence in the US?
Well, I’ve got three kids here. Four kids in total, but three young boys in America. So it’s the vulnerability of these kids in school. And for me it’s what is the background that leads people to do this? With the victims the atrocity speaks for itself. But what makes people get to that point? What have they gone through 400 times?

Beer Crawl: The Best Places To Drink In Lower Manhattan
When people think about beers in New York City, most people think of the buzzy craft breweries of Brooklyn and yes, they are excellent but one of the best places to drink in NYC is in lower Manhattan, where excellent beer bars are mere blocks from each other and you can enjoy yourself with a semi-relaxed NYC style of quiet that the East and West Village, The Bowery and Alphabet City neighborhoods afford. Here are some of my favorite places in drink in Lower Manhattan.

Roughly 400 years ago, the first large-scale agave distillery made its debut in the town of Tequila, and in the modern era, this vibrant community comes complete with luxurious hotels, a stellar food scene and—of course—more delicious distillate than you could possibly dream of.
