Captivating stuff. The overall effect is marginally better than a static picture of Rossdale. Actually, it is probably worse; a picture of Rossdale could at least have been touched-up to try to make people forget that the guy is a rock star on the wrong side of 45. And I doubt Bush is the next Rolling Stones so a best-before date was missed somewhere. You know, now that I think about it, maybe it isn't such a bad thing after all that the record industry has been decimated.

A post-record industry music video
Now that mp3s have decimated the record industry, there just isn't the money out there for many big budget videos. What little is left is devoted to Lady Gaga's costume design department in an effort to distract from her face. That means even previously big bands like Bush (a.k.a. Bush X in Canada) are forced to film videos where the first half is simply Gavin Rossdale walking on a cloudy beach while someone with a handheld films him lipsynching.
