Gavin Rossdale brought his band Bush to Stagecoach on Saturday \u2014 one of several groups at the festival this weekend with indelible rock hits from the 1990s. The 60-year-old, who recently premiered<\/a> a television cooking show, also put in an appearance alongside Billy Bob Thornton, Wynonna Judd and Gavin Adcock at the fever dream that is Guy Fieri\u2019s Smokehouse. I caught up with him between the two engagements.<\/p>\n

This has gotta be your first Stagecoach.
It is. I was waiting till I got an invite. I didn\u2019t want to just get a ticket \u2014 I wanted to be invited.<\/p>\n

You just did a cooking demonstration with Guy Fieri. How\u2019d that go?
Fantastic \u2014 really good fun. We had four people doing different dishes. He\u2019s a great, great man \u2014 I love him.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ve become a TV chef yourself. What\u2019s the TV-chef-meets-TV-chef vibe?
I felt a kinship. I only had to tell him \u2014 we were talking about making the food \u2014 I said to him we could cook some secreto pork. That\u2019s the secret, perfect part of the pork that people don\u2019t know enough about. He was so impressed after that he left me alone to just do what I want.<\/p>\n

Guy Fieri didn\u2019t know about it, and neither did I.
Oh no, he did.<\/p>\n

Clarification: I didn\u2019t know about it. You were there with Gavin Adcock, which means that there were two Gavins.
It was a first for me.<\/p>\n

I know that Paramount is here at Stagecoach. Are you interested in pitching an odd-couple comedy with you and Gavin Adcock? He\u2019s a country guy, you\u2019re a rock guy \u2014 I think we can make this happen.
He made a big steak sandwich, and I made a sort of a deep-fried chicken with rice and Japanese things. So I feel that we\u2019re opposing sides and we could combine and make a really great balanced meal.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ll pitch this later tonight. How did Bush end up on a country music festival?
That is such a good question \u2014 you should\u2019ve led with that. And I don\u2019t have any answer for it. It\u2019s like one of those things where I\u2019m just excited to be here and I don\u2019t want to screw it up.<\/p>\n

What would screwing it up look like?
Choosing the wrong song.<\/p>\n

The deepest cut.
A D-side. Nobody wants it. But it\u2019s so hard to know what everyone knows. I was trying to do the set list, but I was like, Who is everyone here? Is it real cowboys? Is it Palm Springs cowboys? Is it California cowboys? What is it?<\/p>\n

Bush is not the only rock band at Stagecoach. The Wallflowers are here, Third Eye Blind is here. You have any beef with these other rock bands?
Not on the culinary stage, because it was all chicken. But no, no \u2014 I don\u2019t have beef with anyone. Life is too long for beefs.<\/p>\n

If you were to play a country song, what would it be?
Zach Bryan\u2019s catalog is sensational. They\u2019re beautiful songs, and I feel that if I spent a good amount of time, I could do a faithful version \u00e0 la Bush.<\/p>\n

So Stagecoach 2029: Gavin Rossdale sings the Zach Bryan catalog.
Well, not the whole thing.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gavin Rossdale brought his band Bush to Stagecoach on Saturday \u2014 one of several groups at the festival…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":287278,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[123081,25244,123087,123082,123080,49754,123084,48,52,51,47,50,49,5463,123083,592,123085,122447,2695,123086,72351],"class_list":{"0":"post-287277","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-band-bush","9":"tag-beef","10":"tag-billy-bob-thornton","11":"tag-gavin-adcock","12":"tag-gavin-rossdale","13":"tag-guy-fieri","14":"tag-japanese-thing","15":"tag-la","16":"tag-la-headlines","17":"tag-la-news","18":"tag-los-angeles","19":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","20":"tag-los-angeles-news","21":"tag-minute","22":"tag-only-rock-band","23":"tag-people","24":"tag-secreto-pork","25":"tag-stagecoach","26":"tag-weekend","27":"tag-wynonna-judd","28":"tag-zach-bryan"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287277","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=287277"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/287277\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/287278"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=287277"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=287277"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=287277"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
