Don't Speak by No Doubt Reaction

[@RealDrunkenMaster]

The story goes that No Doubt never made it big until Gwen and the bassist broke up and she started writing songs about it. The rest is history. This is one of those songs.

[@yetanother4989]

They were big in the punk and underground scene way before that ( check out Oi To The World ) they did so much before this

[@Thombene77]

She's a natural born entertainer. Great voice.

[@macsfe9828]

Gwen dated the bassist of the band, Tony Kanal, for several years and she wrote this song after he broke up with her. They decided he should stay in the band in spite of the breakup. They have said in an interview that performing this song live was like opening up a wound each time and was emotionally draining for both of them. I thought the video perfectly shows this complicated dynamic between them and Gwen's heartache. The video also shows a secondary story of the jealousy the male band-mates felt at the media attention Gwen was getting when they rose to fame. I really think it's a great video with a great story! I guess I can see how it doesn't make sense if you don't know the backstory. Hope people will give it another chance knowing that the emotions expressed by all the band members in the video are real and raw :) BTW, I like your rating system, haha.

[@65cj55]

Now she's with that fake Cowboy Country Guy.

[@kylegalanvdv3939]

They were high schoolers when they dated. No real true animosity there with their breakup as it coincided around the death of their friend and original front man John Spence. People really overinflated what happened bc it was the early 90's. We were even convinced Marilyn Manson removed his ribs for self servicing reasons lol

[@TurquoiseStar17]

Considering this became one of No Doubt's biggest hits, I can imagine having to play it together countless times must have felt a little awkward.

[@bretcullen5089]

Many videos of this time had live stage footage-kind of a grunge authenticity thing. Otherwise, the video highlights how the media and to some degree their record label wanted to put Gwen out front as the commercial sell instead of the whole band. The idea of selling records on her beauty as opposed to the total group talent. Over 500 subs-nice job Cash!

[@Senaleb]

First thing you said "A very young Stefani" ..I was shocked too, but she's like 32 or 35 here..crazy.

[@WineNotReactions]

She looks young now!!🍷🍷

[@syroncoda]

This is a song she wrote about the bass player Tony Kanal after they broke up and i dig the feeling she puts in to the song and the subtle videography shots of Tony

[@cleonmagabeefy8473]

I love their song "Spiderwebs"... Great grove and lyrics!!!

[@Scud_and_thesTig]

The video tells the whole story of a band v photogenic lead singer dynamic. Many outside influences conspire to break whole into a smaller marketable package

[@brianb6024]

Very nice reaction, and welcome back 👍

[@meg41322]

Gwen started out with this LA Ska band, No Doubt, which blended Mexican folk, Punk and Ska. The Video was created to promote the band, more so than the song. The song refers to a broken relationship between Gwen and Kanal, the bassist. There's other videos for this if you're interested.

[@jacobin1159]

Your honesty is refreshing.

[@jono1167]

Hi Cash. Nice to see a new upload 😊. No Doubt are one of the most radio friendly bands around so I’m very familiar with the song. You chose a good one. I’m with you, I found the music video quite disjointed. Still, it’s a great song. Nice to see the dog lending moral support in the background 😊😊.

Good morning Cash 🤗

[@jackchasteen8387]

Hi Cash! Great reaction. I think your honesty regarding not really caring for the video but liking the song, is what we're here for. This kind of reaction is what will get you to your first 1k subscribers.

[@theman913]

I agree about the honest reaction, but I actually love the story telling in the video and the fact that the issues with the band in the video resonate with the break-up that inspired the song.

[@JimmyXWolvie]

Great to see you back Cash! ✌

@@JimmyXWolvie - I bet you're looking forward to having a break over the Summer. I'm doing okay - the world is still going to hell in a handbasket though, and my voting in the local elections today has probably only served to encourage them! I don't like even looking at the news headlines these days because it just makes my blood boil, but I nearly laughed when I saw today's headline that we may be going to war with France over fishing rights in the Channel Islands - it's about time we got back to business as usual and war with France is the default British position!

Think part of the video was about the band itself everyone knew her name the guys not so much I dont remember there names in interviews nobody cared to ask them a question the camera loved her

[@marciapeak893]

Love this video and the story it's telling and Whoa! I thought I saw that stuffed Dalmatian dog move. I then realized, one is a real dog and one is a stuffed animal.

[@memoto5944]

video shows corporate fixation on her instead of the band as a group and how that tears the relationship/friendship of the band members apart. Great song and reaction, I like the honesty.

[@kelloneill74]

I honestly feel like I'm watching Mrs Brady react to these old songs.....I do like that your reactions are honest and not full of fake gushing. I'm a little confused because I'm 47 and know all these tracks well - I feel like you should too but maybe your 90s music experience was a little different to mine. Keep posting :)

[@garyleesjukejoint9510]

One of my favorite songs. I love this song. Nice to see your reaction video. Good stuff indeed 🙂👍Who knew Gwen would go on to become the wife of Blake Shelton? Not me

[@thunderstruck5484]

Gwen so pretty always enjoyed this song thanks for sharing your reaction!

[@tonyperez3920]

This song reminds me of a breakup. You have 2 beautiful dogs. Nice.

[@WineNotReactions]

Thanks...only one is real..🐾

[@MsBiggey]

Lei ha una voce bellissima ed è una vera rockstar....

[@sean---the-other-one]

I like an honest reaction. Gwen burst onto the music scene with No Doubt’s Just A Girl, and she was a phenomenon like Kate Bush or Christie Amphlett or Cyndi Lauper, just writing a new style for female performers… hell, any performers, really. Don’t Speak was the second single I knew of theirs, and I thought it showed a huge range when sat beside Just A Girl. I loved both songs and videos. They were a great band with their own style.

Hello cash. I'm glad I came across your channel.

[@ATAH69]

Hi Cash, This is Kevin & am new to your channel. This popped up on my page & decided to check it out... Nice reaction, Thank you for that... Truly a beautiful song about a broken heart/breakup. I can agree with you on the video, But will also say that a lot of music video's Don't always have anything to do with the actual song/lyric's... And for that, Thankfully We listen to music/song's.... As especially during the 80's You could play a cd picking out almost any song, Crank it up & have your tv on but the volume off & the majority of song's Usually blended quite well with what was on the tv screen. Music video's are nice But really all they are is short little movies with the music being the soundtrack for them, Not all music video's are like this & it's really great when one actually has meaning to the song that's playing. Probably why I usually just listen to the song especially when it's a first time hearing it. I have subscribed to your channel, Looking forward to watching more of your reaction's As you open the door to new music in your life Thanks Again & Cheer's from Canada! Oh do you also do request's for song's to react to? Stay safe & Always take good care!

[@WineNotReactions]

We sure try to bring on recommendations when possible...thanks🍷🍷

Rumor has it that Cash had a bit too much wine and had to take a break.

Video is pretty clear. The band was jealous of Gwen for getting all of the attention. The photographer in the video is cutting the guys out of the photo shoot.

[@davemac1197]

Hi Cash, welcome back to the interweb and good afternoon from the Midlands of England. I've just caught you after doing my civic duty of voting in local elections, some of which were postponed from last year due to a Chinese global biological attack. Thanks for doing a No Doubt reaction. I don't blame you for not crashing this with a lot of commentary, I was really enjoying listening to this again after so many years, not my favourite No Doubt song but it was good to hear something of this quality again. I don't recall seeing this video before. I also lost the plot because I find it distracting that Gwen Stefani switches between a 1940s throwback look with the wavy hairstyle and the patterned dress, and then a Madonna look, which I don't really appreciate. She should just be herself, as you say, she's terrific. This song was their second hit in the UK in 1997, but their only one to reach #1 in the charts. My favourite No Doubt song is It's My Life from 2003, a cover of a song by British 80s band Talk Talk. I also recommend Gwen Stefani's solo song What You Waiting For, from 2004. While I think about Talk Talk, they had some great hits with their debut single called Talk Talk in 1982, It's My Life in 1984, and Life's What You Make It in 1986. Which version of It's My Life is best? I couldn't possibly say. All of these deserve the full bottle of wine as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for this. I'm currently on coffee right now, but... down the hatch!

[@jono1167]

I hope you're well Dave. Hopefully things are returning to normal in England. I'm glad you guys are coming into summer. I'm with you, I'm giving this a takeaway cappuccino! A good way to start the day 😊.

@@jono1167 - hey Jonathan, I'm okay, hope you are too. I don't pay a lot of attention to the news since last year's wall-to-wall Covid coverage (too depressing), but one sign of things returning to a 500-year 'normal' after a 50-year diversion is that it looks like we're going to war with the French again!

Please do “just a girl” and “Sunday morning” by no doubt. My favorite songs by them. Also maybe some Amy Winehouse- (wine 😂 get it?) Valerie the studio version

[@Paldasan]

Watching old school Gwen on stage makes me really miss No Doubt. They started off as a ska-punk band and performances were very energetic. Something I like about the Tragic Kingdom album's music videos (like this one, Just a Girl and Sunday Morning) is the ordinariness of the life depicted. There's no reason why someone who plays or even just listens to music like ska-punk can't also want to wear a nice simple dress or even be glamorous once in a while. Or make (in the Sunday Morning video) an overly romanticised meal after band practice. People are multifaceted.

[@MainOffenderKZ]

great honest reaction, you are gorgeous aswell!

[@MisterMikeTexas]

Well I didn't care for the wormy orange at the start, but Gwen Stefani more than made up for that! 😊 While I like "Hella Good" much better, "Don't Speak" is a solid song. Brews as follows: 🍺🍺🍺 P.S. I love that Dalmatian!

[@dennytaylor1005]

I saw the 2 dalmatian stuffed animals in the background, then one of them moved and I was like "He's real!" Haha. I am sorry you only gave this a partial glass, but that's your reaction as you say and all is good. Sometimes the video enhances the music, sometimes not. In this case, the song was written about Gwen and her band bassist Tony Kanal. I think they dated for several years, then he broke up with her. What makes this song amazing to me is that Tony still was part of the band even as they performed this song, and he knew it was about him and Gwen.

[@lionmanx]

No Doubt was not rock band their genre was Sky music a mix of rock and Caribbean music.

[@purpledove7008]

I don’t think you got the video. It was about how once they became successful, Gwen was a star and the other band members were shoved in the background. They were cut out of photo shoots and Gwen would get magazine spreads/covers by herself. When they started out they were all equals. When fame hit, everything became about Gwen. I thought it was brilliant to put that in the video. To show what so many bands deal with when the media separates the singer from the rest of the band.

[@charlesfitzgerald9631]

Hmmm, I love the video & it’s trope about new found success & the “singling” out the new “it” girl that gets the lions share of attention that breeds resentment/jealousy & can lead to the breakup of the band

[@ajaxfernsby491]

Often the video has nothing to do with the song and IMO is more of a distraction to a really good song such as this. I'm old school and I would rather let the music direct the video of my imagination. A breakup song has a very personal meaning to many of us and I think this one is very poignant. I watch many reaction channels and I understand some people ONLY react to music with a video. There are also those who NEVER use song with a video and concentrate on the music only. I see in this case, you had to split your vote between a song you seemed to like and a video you did not. I am in agreement with you on both counts. I have had the song on my play list since it was released but this it the first time ever I saw the video. I'll keep the song and forget the video. I'm enjoying watching you make your way through this new endeavor. If you enjoy music from this era, try some Garbage; Stupid Girl '95, I Think I'm Paranoid '98, Only Happy When It Rains '95, Cheers.
