the bands that I saw. Tonsof rock and metal artists on this and
I was there for iHeartRadio and whilehe had media passes and it was a
fantastic time. Me and my girlfriendwent and I just loved every bit of
it. So bands I saw atthis day one saw Volby, saw Coal
(00:52):
Chamber, saw Hate Breed, sawPod, saw Suicide Silence, saw Chelsea
Grin, and saw Fox Leake.I wasn't able to get to see all
the bands I wanted. We wereon a little bit of a time crunch,
but that's okay. Day two wesaw Megadeth, we saw in This
Moment, we saw Motionless and White, We watched Memphis May Fire, we
(01:37):
watched Water to Prevail. I wasable to see my boys in uncured.
So day three that's where things startgetting interesting. So with these media passes,
we weren't too sure, Okay,where can we go? Where can
(01:59):
we goes? A lot of heycan I go here? Yes? No?
Maybe okay. So finally day onewas confusing. Day two got a
little bit better Day three. Iknew what I was doing in Day three.
A lot of bands that we sawDay three, we saw Gideon and
(02:24):
I was able to CrowdSurf to them, got to see Clifford from the side
stage. That was cool. Butthe big thing for me was I had
the opportunity to interview Gavin Rossdale fromBush. I never thought something like that
could ever happen. I'm used todoing like phone interviews or you know,
video interviews. Nothing live. Imean, I've done live before, but
(02:46):
it was just something I was like, Oh man, I usually also talked
to bands they're up and coming orkind of started. Bush has been around
for a while. You know theseguys. They got machine Head, which
is you know, my favorite songfrom them. They got Glycerine, they
got come Down. I mean,let's goes on and on and on,
and they actually have new music onthe way. So I was around the
media tense and there he was.I was introduced to him by some of
(03:09):
the people that were involved, andthis was my live interview with Gavin Rossdale
from Bush. All right, hey, it's Kevin Powell here at incarceration.
We're day three. I was hereall three days with iHeartRadio. I'm super
excited. We got Gavin Rossdale.How are you doing, Gavin Good?
How are you good? It's fromBush. How are you guys feeling today?
I feel great. It's not amessage like cupping and crazy stuff is
(03:31):
cool. Yeah, I feel abit like sleepy right now. I'll wake
up soon. You guys. Justgot off a flight a little bit ago.
Run us through. How a generalday, a big festival like this
is for for Bush. Well,we had to come from far away,
so we went to be up earlyso that an early flight and state actually
(03:53):
a nice Apple hotel and then justgot right on the plane at like eight
or something and came here, gothere at a massage, had a beer,
watched the Wimbledon final earlier actually inthe hotel. It's pretty good.
Now get ready to play. Thengo see other bands that I'm really happy
to see it, like slipnot Slipnot one of the headliners for Incarceration First.
(04:15):
Super excited to see them as well. What about you personally? Do
you have any special things that youdo before a show, any things you've
done over the years that you stillcarry on today. Warm up so I
can sing as best as I canon that day and I don't get trashed
because that feels weird to play disconnected, So I just have a Yeah,
(04:40):
just get warmed up and try andgive everyone a good time. Awesome.
What about this new single I'm hearingabout? Can you tell us anything about
that? Yeah? All things mustchange. It's another song and it's weird
because we wrote it after it wasthe extra tract for the Art of Survival
and in a weird way, thatsong really sums up the art Survival in
a strange way. So I couldhave done just that song instead of all
(05:04):
of the art Survival plus that song. So is it just a new single
coming out or what can we expectcoming up? Well, there's a song
with Amy Lee she sang on asong called A Thousand Years would mean it's
amazing and a couple of live tracks. All things must change and that's it
for that record, all right?So what's coming up for Bush or Arrest
