Everyone has NO DOUBT sightings... maybe your local newspaper, tv or radio. Or maybe you saw a bandmember somewhere. Maybe you just saw the NO DOUBT logo somewhere. Whatever and whereever it is, let me know!

I met Gwen and Gave her my collage of her and Gavin... From: Julie

I live in toronto and my sighting was an 'in person' sighting when i met them on monday, february 14th. i met the whole band and asked gwen what the artwork and photos are gonna be like on the new album, to which she replied 'some things will have to stay secret...we want it to be a surprise!' but i do know that she didn't have her braces on for it. as well she said that the braces will have to go back on cause her teeth are not quite perfect yet! she also got really excited when a fan gave her a collage they had made of pics of gwen with gavin. she looked at it and said "wow, it's me with my boyfriend! i feel so bad, but i want to keep this." so the fan gladly gave it to her. i guess that means that they are still an item...

my other sighting was a magazine sighting. there's a small pic of gwen and gavin in the latest issue of cosmopolitan. i forget which page it's on.

Ska-rock outfit No Doubt will headline an outdoor concert July 18th at Sandy Point beach. The fun lovin' California group has sacrificed ska for more of an '80s pop sound on its latest CD, "Return of Saturn," but you can bet singer Gwen Stefani will get things poppin' in a live setting." then it goes on to say who else is on the bill and tickets prices etc. Anyway, this is a very big deal, ND hasn't played in Boise since Bush came through in 96'.

Saturday Night Live, fake Gwen Interview From: Emily & nodoubt77

May 6th, on Saturday Night Live w/ host John Goodman there was a MTV wanna be a VJ 3 spoof, & there was a fake interview w/ Gwen Stefani. It wasn't actually her, one of the cast members played her. They had the pink flipped hair & talked about Gwen's braces. They were sort of making fun of her, but it's more like a compliment to be spoofed on SNL, they're recognizing your popularity. If anyone missed it, the show will air again sometime in the summer.

-----

On Saturday Night Live they had a Gwen parody played by Molly Shannon. It was like this Wanna be a VJ 3 thing. I didn't really think it was that funny though because they had her acting like Britney Spears and I think we all know Gwen is cool and doesn't act like that. I thank you for your time.

No Doubt on Muchmusic From: Melissa Chungfat

INTERIVEW TRANSCRIPT
This was on Muchmusic's the New Music hour. I will try to have a transcript of the "Return of No Doubt" on Muchmusic by the end of this week.

NO DOUBT ON THE NEW MUSIC

SOOK YIN: Return of Saturn. What was the concept? Sort of an astrological ideas or astronomy something?

GWEN: Yeah. It's basically um..they say, through Saturn returns which is like this whole idea that Saturn takes 29 years to circle the sun. So from the time you're born to the time it returns 29 years later, it's supposed to be like this period of growth and kind of like um..get rid of the whole new, back from moving on and growing. There's like kind of big life decisions made. We definitely went back and listened to our CDs and said wow! How'd they do it? How'd they make it? How did music make me feel so good you know? So um. . . and also their lyrics there was a lot of things I was reading you know. The whole Joni Mitchel collection of her poems and lyrics and Sylvia Plath The Bell Jar and all of her journals up to the Ted Hughs birthday diaries and all that stuff. So there was a lot of stuff being read and influencing us.

TOM: We came out with Tragic Kingdom, um. . .you know, really energized in a way and we decided that the only real good way to follow up that record is to try to beat it some way and try to improve as songwriters and bring all the experience from the last number of years into making the record and um, we spent a lot of time. We really pushed ourselves to do it. And at this point, we're really proud of the end result and we're so happy to be here talkin' about it and uh.soon play it live

GWEN: We were just blossoming half way through that album. For me like, it was like when my brother left the band, a lot of the writing responsibilities fell onto our laps. When Tony and I split up, it was like I suddenly had all of these things to write about so.all those songs that ended up being, like, the singles were written in the last half of that album and we were just getting like, starting to get the hand on writing. So after doing that and then going off on tour and like experiencing the world I mean. Traveling just opens your mind so much and you just.. there's all this information so. Coming off of that, um, I think we have a good spot to get creative and start over again to try and see if we can write songs but use all the experience that we had you know? I would be like. . .ok, here's my ex-boyfriend right? So we would be there with these girls that look exactly like me like dressed up like me and then they would all party and I was always sent to my room 'cause my voice. So they'll be all doin' their woo! Partyin' then I would walk in hoping to get a little social, you know, oh I need a little attention socially. (ALL I NEED IS A LITTLE OF YOUR TIME) And then they would run up to me. There would be all these little Gwen girls and then it would be really awkward.

 

TOM: The funny thing is, these two, (Tony and Gwen. DOI!) they won't tell you but they're like, best friends. So when they're home, they hang out, they shop together and go to the movies. It's a weird..it's a nice relationship because you're so close

TONY: We're more like brother and sister now. And no there's no incest.

 

GWEN: I like so many different things. I think it's important to just embrace all the things that inspire you and then make them yours because everything's been done you know what I mean? And every song's been written you know what I mean? So we just grab from all the things that we love and then when it comes um. . . you know, when it's in your own hands it suddenly becomes unique.
