Yeah. I recommended several times. Swallowed by bush.

I really like their song "Mouth", but I'm partial to the Stingray remix.

Exactly.

[@ediewhite1706]

I lived in Garden Grove Ca from 1984-2018 The Drummer's Best Friend lived on the other side of the street and the band would come over and practice in his garage. Gwen went to a high with several of my Girls Scouts so when they were practicing I would have my 6 kids and my whole Girl Scout Troop go hang out and sit on blankets outside the garage to listen to them. Just a group of kids who was trying to get a band started. Love to see how a bunch of local kids were able to make it in the music world. I have know a lot of talented kids that don't. Lots of memories of times gone by.

[@garyneilson3075]

Cool anecdote, thanks

[@go-nogo1475]

"I took a trip to Garden Grove. It smelled like Lou Dog inside the van, aw yeaaaaahh..." My buddy Doug's old man lived in Garden Grove. Better vibes than Bakersfield & Barstow, lol

[@sumonjamal1653]

The song was about Gwen Stefani and her breakup w/ the bass player of No Doubt - Tony Kanal (he's also the guy in the beginning w/ the orange)... they had been dating since high school since he joined her brother Eric Stefani's band No Doubt (Gwen was the female singer - the male singer was John Spence, but he tragically took his own life) Going into No Doubt's album #2 'Tragic Kingdom' in 1995, Tony Kanal ended the relationship w/ Gwen and her brother Eric also announced he was leaving the band... So, the album had quite a few songs about Tony 😂including 'Happy now'... 'Spiderwebs' ... 'Sunday morning' ... 'Excuse me mister'... etc. "Don't speak" was the subtle song on the record and the biggest hit single... 'Tragic Kingdom' broke big in 1996 and the album sold 8 million copies in the US... a 'ska' album - a mix of reggae and rock. Gwen and Tony remained friends and the 2 co-write a lot of the No Doubt songs.

[@shmick6079]

No Doubt was less poppy than the solo stuff. More No Doubt: “It’s My Life” “Sunday Morning” “Just a Girl” “Hella Good” 🔥

[@johnm7698]

For my money Sunday Morning is the best song on Tragic Kingdom. Underrated.

[@shmick6079]

@@johnm7698 I always enjoyed that song. Bought the single not longer after buying the Don’t Speak single. Back in the days when buying a single was probably a week or two of pocket money.

[@ShayAnnCan]

YES!

[@Markyajv]

No Doubt's "Don't Speak" is a song about the pain of loving someone more than they love you, and the fear of them realizing it. The song is about two breakups in Gwen Stefani's life: her relationship with bassist Tony Kanal, and her relationship with her brother and bandmate Eric Stefani. Here are some other details about the song: Origin The song was originally more of a love song, and included an accordion. Gwen's brother wrote most of the song, but Gwen changed the lyrics to fit her life. Overhauls The song went through many changes, including at the request of the band's producer, Matthew Wilder. Release The song was released on No Doubt's third album, Tragic Kingdom. It was initially only released in export territories, as the band's established fanbase didn't like it. Video The video for "Don't Speak" is about the band splitting up, as a way to make the subject matter more sad than a normal breakup.

[@ritchmoore1442]

Loved this band, and Gwen is still my crush. LOL For other No Doubt songs: - Just a Girl - Spiderwebs - It's my Life - Sunday Morning

[@evilbetty2004]

Hella good is another banger from them imo

[@cap873]

"Just A Girl" is the one that broke the band to the masses. Definitely worth a look!

[@annamartin3148]

She was part of the Ska music craze that happened in the 90s. Still awesome!

[@joeybossolo7]

Bruv, this is a killer song. It was originally a love song, but Gwen Stefani rewrote the lyrics almost completely after her breakup with the band's bass player Tony Kanal. Imagine having to play that song live, knowing it’s about your breakup with her. 😢 At least it has a killer bass line.

[@Pinylyn]

"Just a Girl". Also Gwen's "Cool". Love that song.

[@nicolerizzo1314]

Oh man, we all wanted to be gwen stefani in 1995. So beautiful and cool

[@notmodernarthistory]

No doubt is west coast Ska (3rd generation) which has touches of rockabilly, punk, rock, reggea and pop. The west coast Ska scene was linked to skate and surf culture. It is the same influences you hear in sublime.

[@Andikha-jk3sq]

they did one song together, right? Total hate!

[@neilfleming2787]

and that's the Gwen that a lot of US fell in love with

[@WesselsReaper]

90’s Gwen Stefani was my crush for so damn long…she’s still fine now lol. But this song is awesome!

[@trenchy1990]

Great album but I'd give Return of Saturn a slight edge. 😊

[@calamitynatalie8590]

Let’s not forget Gwen was also married to Gavin Rossdale from Bush, she met him just after the album Tragic Kingdom was released! Won’t lie, my heart broke when I learned they were divorcing. Lol, the first time I was affected by a celebrity relationship

[@patriciaroberts308]

Wasn't he unfaithful to Gwen in their marriage?! That's a serious reason for divorce.

[@lka76]

She dated the bassist Tony Kanal for ages. This wasn't meant to be a break up song but thats what it became when her heart was broken

[@eronflemens2977]

Along the lines of the lyrics, check out Til Tuesday’s “Voices Carry”

[@wribit]

This album was a staple in my rotation of CDs in the 90's - Top Notch 90's. Tool, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, No Doubt, the Cranberries, Sarah McLachlan, Tori Amos, Alanis Morisette... Throwbacks on throwbacks; 90's music was my life's soundtrack

[@liveyoureveryminute7728]

Lol similar to my Playlist...Metallica Pantera sepultura black sabbath and of course no doubt 😂😂😂

[@snapdragon8888]

One of their most underrated songs is "Simple Kind of Life" That's the first No Doubt song I ever heard and probably still my favorite. I think Gwen is exquisite in her pink hair.

[@cmudd9788]

The 90s had some talented female rockers. From "No Doubt" with Gwen Stefani to "Garbage" with Shirley Manson, "The Cardigans" with Nina Persson, Hole with Courtney Love and solo artists like Alanis Morissette, Jewel Kilcher, Sheryl Crow and Natalie Imbruglia. Edit: I'd even add Reba McEntire too even though she's a country singer, she had a couple of songs that straight up rocked with "Fancy" and "The Night the Lights Went Out In Georgia".

[@loristone9242]

Her stage presence with No Doubt was amazing. We saw them with Bush in 1997 @ Blockbuster Rockfest at Texas Motor Speedway with a ton of other bands. No Doubt killed it, and so did Bush. It was one of the largest concerts on record. One of the best concerts I ever went to back in the day.

[@christianmuller6960]

When I`m right, she wrote this song about her relationship to the Bassplayer in this video, my honour to him, cause he is the black sheep in this song, but so professional to play the bass to it

[@thseed7]

No Doubt's first huge hit was "Just A Girl." It's a banger and Gwen was pure Ska-Pop-Punk-Rockabilly-Fire 🔥

It's hilarious because for a lot of us - Gwen as a solo artist was the weird outlier and was so different to No Doubt in the 90s. You gotta react to Spiderwebs and Just A Girl as well - iconic No Doubt songs.

[@stemcellactivationguy]

We were privileged enough to have Gwen perform privately at our company’s 20 year anniversary celebration in Dallas last month. Personally, I’ve always loved her vocals and music since her height of popularity in the early 2000’s. She has a certain vibe that’s loved by millions.

[@3DJapan]

In the early days Gwen's older brother Eric was the keyboardist but after the second album he left to become an animator on The Simpsons and Ren & Stimpy.

[@Mvader7]

Ahhh love No Doubt. I think Sunday Morning is my favourite song.

[@davek7702]

This song was one of the anthems of the 90s. Their songs Im just a girl, and Sunday morning is great too. Another massive hit was Natalie Imbruglia - Torn.

She was really young. She married a Country Music Entertainer, Blake Shelton. They have some songs together. She moved to Oklahoma with him and her three kids when they married a few years back. I've seen videos of her son, Zuma playing guitar and singing.

If I had a time machine, I would grab you by the hand and yank you to the 90's. I am so thankful that I was able to experience it with my young angst and energy and open mind. The music and the vibe will never be recreated and it's so sad. But watching the younger folks reacting and appreciating it almost feels like the first time again.

No Doubt has a nice cover of great song It's My Life from Talk Talk. I hope one day you'll react to it in both versions. Talk Talk made some great melo pop songs in 80s. Gwen also made a hit Cool from her solo album in 2004 or so.

Tony Kanal was the friend she was singing about in the song. He’s the bass player and was the musical force, songwriter, arranger, producer and wrote many of their biggest hits with Stefani in the band. He also wrote and produced many of her solo records.

God this song is iconic of the mid 90s. It was HUGE. Just a Girl, Spiderweb are two others that were massive. Great band with an amazing sound, and her voice is just perfection. This one may be more mellow, but her voice is ALWAYS full of such power, and the simplicity of the music is actually really powerful too. Strong chord progression, driving beat.
