1000 – gavinrossdalefans.com
This is the #1000 post at gavinrossdalefans.com; since 2005, we have been keeping fans informed on everything Gavin Rossdale, including tour dates, TV appearances, family Gwen, Kingston & Zuma, Twitter, Myspace, fan photos, show reviews and videos.
Gavinrossdalefans.com would not be as successful without the support of the fans that visit the site on a daily basis. Fans visit from all over the world, United States, Canada, Germany, Philippines, Italy, United Kingdom and Poland, just to name a few. Fans of the site have been a great help in spreading the word on where to get the latest information on Gavin. I’d like give a special thanks to lamb83/Rosemarie – you’ve been a great help.
I’m also very grateful to the man himself, Gavin Rossdale; since I first met him at the Double Door show in Chicago on the Institute tour, he has been nothing but supportive of gavinrossdalefans.com. Gavin has mentioned the site multiple times in interviews & blog posts and has always been friendly when meeting him in person. Gavin, this site is obviously designed to keep the fans up to date on you, but it’s also designed to share the passion we have for your music.
To Gavin Rossdale’s touring band/friends, Chris Traynor, Mike Pedicone, Jason Gaviati & Corey Britz: You guys are the best; thank you for making the music you play behind Gavin that much better.
What make the site the most enjoyable is staying connected to the music through the site & its visitors.
I look forward to what’s next for Gavin Rossdale, to new music, and to new friends.
Sincerely –
Gavin Rossdale @grossdale

KANSAS 2.40AM
THE NIGHT IS QUIET,THE STILL STREET BURNS ORANGE,I HAD 2 DAYS OFF(BEST FRIEND’S BIRTHDAY) AND WE’RE PLAYING TOMORROW NIGHT.
I’M IN A HOTEL ROOM ON THE TOP FLOOR OF A MEDIUM SIZED FORGETTABLE BUILDING.
THE ROOM HAS A BED ,A CHEST OF DRAWERS(WHO USES THOSE?)AND THERE’S A GREEN SOFA AND A LAMP AND 2 COPIES OF THE KANSAS SWIMWEAR DESIGNS OR SOMETHING.
I’M IN A WAITING ROOM-FOR THE DOCTOR OR SOMETHING.
I LISTENED TO SOME SONGS I MADE AND WONDERING WHICH,IF ANY,I WILL RECORD WITH THIS BAND.
THEN GOT BORED OF MYSELF AND I HAVE A PLAYLIST WITH CAT POWER AND FOG-SO
NOW THEY TRADE OFF TRACKS WITH EACH OTHER.NICE.
I CANNOT BELIEVE HOW QUICK THE END OF THIS RUN APPROACHES AND IT IS COMING TOO SOON.WHEN WE BEGAN(DID I TELL YOU THIS?)I ASKED TO PLAY FOR AGES AND AGES AND WE GOT 2 AND A BIT MONTHS AND I FEEL LIKE WE’RE JUST BEGINNING.IT’S BEEN 40-ODD SHOWS APPARENTLY.
IT’S A DRAG TO NOT KNOW WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS BUT IT FEELS TOTALLY PURE AT THE SAME TIME.LIKE THIS COULD CRASH AND BURN,OR JUST BURN ACTUALLY
AND THAT MAKES THIS TOUR SO SPECIAL.
I HAVE TO THANK YOU FOR COMING OUT TO THE SHOWS.I FEEL LIKE WE HAVE HAD SOME GREAT TIMES.SOME WILD UNREPEATABLE MOMENTS WHERE WE GAVE EACH OTHER THE MOST WE COULD AT THAT POINT.
FOR EXAMPLE THERE WAS,IN ATLANTA,THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GIRL WHO CRIED FROM THE FIRST SONG ALL THE WAY THROUGH TO THE LAST.
IT WAS,SHE WAS,SHE IS INCREDIBLE-THANKYOU.
FOR ME,THAT IS IT RIGHT THERE.
THE FORCE THAT DRIVES US TO REACH OUT TO YOU,NIGHT AFTER NIGHT.
ALL OF US-THE BAND,THE CREW-ALL ON THE HOLY GRAIL OF THAT FEELING.
TO GIVE OF YOURSELF FOR THE AUDIENCE-FOR THE NIGHT-TO CREATE ELECTRICITY-
TO CHANGE YOU———-THROWN INTO EMOTIONAL TORNADOES TO WHICH WE SUCCUMB.
I CAN’T WAIT TO PLAY TOMORROW HERE IN KANSAS.OUR LAST TRIP HERE WAS FOR THE EXTREME MAKEOVER SHOW.AND WHAT PLEASURE THAT WAS TO BE A SMALL PART OF.
WE WILL SEE THE WHOLE FAMILY TOMORROW SO I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO SEEING HOW THEY’RE DOING.
AND FROM THERE WE HAVE MAYBE TEN MORE DAYS?-I’D BETTER CHECK -ANYHOW WORKING WEST I THINK.
I WANT TO THANK ALL THE PEOPLE THAT CAN’T MAKE THE SHOWS YET WANT TO COME-AND I WILL TRY TO GET TO YOU.
ENGLAND I MISS YOU,EUROPE,SOUTH EAST ASIA…….SO MUCH OUT THERE.
OH MANNNNNNNNNNNN
THX FOR YOUR HELP WITH THE VH-1 VOTES AND THE US RADIO REQUESTS FOR HAPPINESS AND FOREVER MAY YOU….
BUT THIS IS A GOOD RICH TIME AND AS EVER BEST LIVED RIGHT HERE IN THE MOMENT.
