[edit] Biography
Goodridge grew up in Horsham during the late 1970s and early 1980s. He attended Tanbridge House School. He taught himself how to play percussion after his brother left behind a drum kit. In his late teens he played in a Blues band 'Lord Hippo' and later played on a Jimi Hendrix remix album in a group called Beautiful People.[1]
[edit] Bush
Goodridge originally joined Bush in 1992, asking to join the band after seeing them perform live. Playing on all four studio albums, he remained with the band until its hiatus in 2002. In 2010 he was confirmed as returning to the band's new lineup. He and singer Gavin Rossdale are the only original members of the band.
[edit] Other projects
After Bush's hiatus Goodridge drummed for the London based Elyss, in 2004. The band were recording in the U.S., although their debut album was never released. He then became the drummer for Spear of Destiny, and his first appearance was during the December 2006 UK 'Re-animation' tour. Since then, his drumming was recorded on their album, Imperial Prototype (2007), and Goodridge participated in two further UK tours to promote that album.
In the summer of 2008 it was confirmed the Goodridge would join the English rock group Stone Gods on a short tour. Although initially only covering for Ed Graham, it was announced that Graham could not rejoin the Stone Gods, and Goodridge would continue as their percussionist. He was involved in the recording and writing of the band's second album, although as yet no news has emerged of a release date.
