About Me

 - Gwen was obsessed with Prince when she was younger - so was Tony.
 - Gwen's first job was at Dairy Queen, where Eric and John also worked.
 - The band used to have double birthday parties for Tony and Adrian every year, and they would all get excessively drunk - Adrian would usually pass out on the lawn.

 - No Doubt says they bought the .49 cent tacos at Del Taco back in the Beacon Street days and would actually search under the seats in the car for .49 cents.
 - During college, Tony and Adrian majored in psychology, Tom in music, and Gwen in art. (Gwen and Tom attended Cal State Fullerton.) 


 - According to Gwen, she forced Tony to date her. She said she'd drive across town to look at him, and one day while they were walking down the street she said "So are you going to kiss me or what?" 
 - Tony got his nose pierced after he lost a bet with Gwen (who fainted during the procedure & also had her nose pierced once.)
 - Adrian used to have a crush on Gwen. He once got the courage to ask her out, while driving down to her work. He heard that her and Tony broke up, but they got back together before Adrian could do anything.
 - Eric and Gwen took therapy classes together after he left the band in 1995, they were patching up their relationship.

 - Gwen met Tony at a New Years Eve party.

 

 - Gwen and Tony had been hiding their relationship from the band, but when John died they decided not to keep any more secrets.

 - Gwen and Tony started dating in June 1987.

 - The first song Eric wrote and Gwen sang on was Stick It In The Hole (about a pencil sharpener).  - Gwen and Tony started dating in June 1987.

 - The band thinks that the Spiderwebs video sucks, which they have said in a roundabout way without offending the director.

 - Tony and Gavin hated each other when Gwen first started seeing Gavin.

 

 - Back in the day, Tom told Adrian that if No Doubt sold 3 million records, he'd get a tattoo. It still hasn't happened!

 - Tom said in an article around 1996/97, "I understand it intellectually, but I just feel like I'm second-class, I'm shit compared to her. I feel I'm just a lesser person, I don't look as good, and I'm not as bitchin' as she is in everyone else's eyes."

 - After Gwen and Tony had been dating secretly for a while, No Doubt had a Halloween party. Tony was dressed as a woman, with makeup and everything. Some of the band members threatened, "If we find out you're going out with Gwen, you're dead." He sat outside and cried, his makeup running down his face.

 - Gwen used to listen to "Almost Blue" incessantly throughout her and Tony's breakup. Maybe that's why she remade the song for the AT&T Stormy Weather CD.

 - Tom doesn't like Bush. "They have some catchy songs, but to me, it's just milking what somebody else created. I don't know. Maybe Bush was doing that shit before Nirvana came out."

 

 - Eric swears he didn't force Gwen to sing, like she usually says. "I'd use the word 'begged.' I didn't take a whip to her. She had a great voice and she was really cute and had her own thing going."

 - When ND played a New Years eve party, Gwen and Tony were really drunk and Gwen asked Tony what nationality he was and she guessed Chinese!!

 - Gwen and Tony appeared in some anti-drug commercials during the TK era
 - John Spence's signature when performing live was his back flips on stage
 - The only ND demos you will be able to find John singing on are Everything's Wrong, Showin' Off, Get A Life and No Doubt. Alan Meade sings on Rampage, Dear John, Mighty Mouse and Up Yours.
