Bush Rig Rundown Guitar Gear Tour with Gavin Rossdale & Chris Traynor [2023]

Bush had an unbelievable debut with 1994’s Sixteen Stone that eventually surpassed 6x platinum status. The post-grunge juggernaut continued making moody, mercurial, and sometimes menacing music has continuing mutating while keeping them modern with a total of nine full-length releases with 2022’s The Art of Survival as their most recent chapter.

The band’s headlining Ryman tour stop was furthering their support for the October 2022 release where the camp invited PG’s Chris Kies onstage to catalog their compact setups. Guitarist Chris Traynor starts the chat covering his instruments that run the gamut from import steals to one-off custom baritones with and without frets. The baton gets passed to Gavin Rossdale tech Trace Davis who covers the frontman’s arsenal of Strats, SGs, and Jazzmasters before breaking down Rossdale’s core patches living within his Fractal Audio FM9.

Chris Traynor is such a cool guy, down to earth and just a genuine nice person! Cool video, thanks for sharing!

[xanderraymondcharles]

i love bush so much! Another great episode!

[samunden]

Saw Bush live for the first time a couple months ago..I honestly had no idea they were still around much less making new music. They put on a great show and prompted me to check out what they have been up to since the 90's....they still sound great

[iDannyism]

Chris is such a gem. I love the message and in a world where everyone is trying to sell you their expensive signature, or some unreachable Custom Shop / Vintage, he is so refreshing.

[RMPMcDermott]

The first Chris Traynor Rig Rundown was legendary. Stoked to see an updated rundown!

[CameronForrester]

Sixteen Stone is probably my favorite album in terms of guitar tone, and rhythm guitar writing.

[yrmthr]

Saw them a few years ago at fest called 'Next Big Thing'. Weird to see a band from the 90s play that but they completely blew the other bands away. They were tight as hell, perfectly mixed and energy off the charts. Razorblade Suitcase doesn't get the recognition it deserves!!

[atinkermedia]

Perry coming in from behind the camera: "Zach, are you techin', Bud?!". Perfect! 🤣🤣🤣

[Drawfornoone]

I'm still partially deaf from seeing Bush in Lafayette Louisiana in 95' was front row and was a bad ass show

[dustinmcfarland]

Bush is awesome and I love The Ryman. One of my favorite places to see a concert. Thanks for this one guys!

[ToddTheJoker]

Bush has been one of my favorite bands for a LONG time! thank you for this! I would also hope that while the band Crypta are touring in the US that you guys are getting a rig rundown of their gear! THAT would be awesome...would love to know what Taina and Jessica are using for the tour although it does for the most part look like backline gear! GET ON IT!!!!

[bucknorris]

I ❤ Bush!! Saw them at rockfest 96 for the first time. Saw them again 10 years later. They are amazing live! One of the most underrated bands ever!

[stealingtomorrowband]

I've been a Bush fan since 98-99..
First 2 records are great and the last few they have put out are pretty good.
Tarynor def seems like a cool ass dude... Big addition to the band, plus he was in helmet too makes him even cooler

[gilguajardo]

Love Chris’ attitude with regard to playing and to gear. First time learning of him, too.

[mrNobody]

i don't really know anything about this Chris Traynor guy, nor have i followed Bush since like, 2001...but more power to him for the down to earth approach without the pretentiousness....always a good thing to have in the music world.

[TomStrahle]

My buddy Chris! He is one of the nicest and coolest guys I know.

[jasondoyle]

This dude NEVER misses a note live. It's amazing to me how he produces so much sound with a single guitar

[ia]

Gavin still does a great job as a frontman and showman, didn't hesitate to come into the crowd and get the audience involved when I saw them a few years back. Definitely bummed that the original members are all gone, but I was glad to see him still using the the purple Jazzmaster with the cheetah strap - missing that guitar in the rundown this time.

[andrecoelho]

Another great, great, great, rig rundown. Thanks guys!

[DragDealer]

The tech guy for Gavin is a star himself seen him in a bunch of videos for big bands 🤘🏻
