This is the video for Machinehead, which is the probably the closest that Bush actually got to recording a worthwhile song in the 90s. It still features all of the things that made Bush the worst band of the grunge era (including, but not limited to, Gavin Rossdale’s overwrought singing and his annoyingly obscure lyrics) but it also features worthwhile and hard-pounding guitar work from whoever Bush’s lead guitarist was at the time. I’m not looking it up.
The video features a lot of London, a reminder that Bush was sold as being the UK’s answer to Nirvana and Pearl Jam. The band itself never found much success in their home country but they had enough American fans to be big in the 90s. It helped that MTV put their videos in the steady rotation.
Back in the day, a lot of Americans thought the band was named after George H.W. Bush. It’s not. It’s named after a neighborhood in London.
Enjoy!
