No Doubt use to be called Apple Corps....not Apple Cores.
Gwen doesn't view No Doubt as a typical American 'POP' band. 'When I think of American pop I think of Mariah Carey'. Instead she compares No Doubt to britpop bands such as Blur and Elastica.
Gwen never openly talks about her sex life. The only advice Gwen would give is to wait as long as possible and wait until you're married.
When Gwen and Gavin first started dated, Gavin and Tony hated eachother so Gwen and Gavin used to sneak off together after shows.
No Doubt co-wrote the song Perfect Day for Kelis and Tom, Adrian, Tony played on the track which is featured on the Wanderland album. Gwen was actually going to sing on the original song with Kelis but in the end Gwen makes no appearance.
In the Simple Kind Of Life video the birthdial behind Gwen and Adrian says 'simply to complicated'.It's also featured on the Return Of Saturn cover behind Gwen.
There is a video for Big City Train. The video is animated by Eric Stefani and was given to close friends but was never publically released.
Throughout the sleeve of Tragic Kingdom Eric seems distant, this is because he had already left the band at this time.
Even though the Return Of Saturn album sleeve is themed around space non of the band members are really into that stuff.Gwen named the album after the period of time between the two albums, Tragic Kingdom and Return Of Saturn when she was turning 30.She grew up and changed alot between the two.It takes 30 years for Saturn to go around the sun so she tried to use this as a way to name the mental state she was in of 'accessing her life'.
At the beginning of Home Now the person says 'Victoria,change at victoria'.This is taken from the underground tube on the victoria line (blue) in London. Nearby where Gavin lives.
Gwen calls herself a dork,she thinks that her husband Gavin ( from the band Bush) is cooler and has better dress sense than her.
On tour they have a personal trainer who hides all the cookies from the band,No Doubt always end up finding them though and say it's like a game.
Even though Dont Speak is the bands most played song the band say they're not bored of performing it live.They view it as one of their little rest moments onstage.
Even though the album is called Return Of Saturn No Doubt claim that they know nothing about astrology.
Tom taught Gwen how to play guitar inbetween Tragic Kingdom and Return Of Saturn.
Tom has a dog called Vinnie,Gwen use to have a dog called Magan who recently died and Adrian has a cat called Sammy. Gwen also likes to walk Gavin's dog, Winston.
Gwen uses a hair color called Fudge (australian) for her bright pink hair color.The color is called pretty flamingo and can be brought at hair salons.
No Doubt wrote Staring Problem in Gwen's living room.
No Doubt were the first band of the millinieum to perform live on MTV!!
No Doubt have sold over 15 million albums worldwide.
Gwens' natural hair color is brown.
Don't Speak was the first song of 1997 to stay at number 1 in the UK charts for longer than one week.
Don't Speak was in the UK airplay charts for 6 months
Gwen met Tony at a New Year Eves party
Tony was born in India, his family then moved to London when he was a toddler, and then settled in Orange County when he was 11.
No Doubt formed when they were all still in highschool.
Originally there were two lead singers:Gwen Stefani and John Spence, but John Spence sadly commited suicide.
When Gwen was a kid she was so overweight that she had to go on a diet on doctors order. She had to lose at least ten pounds ..so she joined her local swim team.
Don't Speak is about the split between Gwen Stefani and Tony Kanal whose relationship lasted seven years.
During the filming of Don't Speak most of the footage had to be cut out because Gwen Stefani was so hysterical crying
Gwen use to have her nose pierced
When No Doubt performed 'Just A Girl' live Gwen said a swear word. Gwen's mum wasn't impressed and didn't speak to her for a week.
Gwen admits that when she was at school she had bad style. She said she use to wear old Godzilla T-shirts and pyjama bottoms.
Gwen's first kiss wasn't nice. It was with a guy called Bradley when she was on holiday and she could feel his braces.
Gwen thinks she's fat but says she doesn't mind.'If I want a rad slice of pizza I'll have it'
No Doubt first started by covering Madness songs.
Gwen is married Gavin Rossedale, lead singer and guitar player in the grunge band Bush. They met when No Doubt supported Bush on their American tour. He first said to her that he thought she was gorgeous. Apparently she was n't impressed but now they're crazy about eachother and she admits that she has a thing for his english accent.
