Perhaps a mix of "south side" and "let me blow ya mind"? Or something totally different. I wish No Doubt would record another album. Rock Steady was awesome! | | | 04-19-2003, 11:23 AM | #2 | | well that's better Join Date: May 2002 Posts: 2,493 | well that's news to me! what would be the point of her doing a solo album? she's pretty much the main songwriter for no doubt so it would just be her with different musicians if she did a solo album. I want another no doubt album too! I love Rock Steady!!! | | | 04-19-2003, 12:32 PM | #3 | | piepsze cie miasto Join Date: Dec 2000 Posts: 25,400 | that makes no sense. and i really dont like it when ppl do solo albums, it scares me that that particular band may break up or isnt as strong as they used to be. Tragic Kingdom is a masterpiece. Initially i was real disappointed with RS because of the new pop jamaican sounds but i got used to it and i like it now. Its just a fun party album, and it always makes me happy despite its not so happy lyrical content. | | | 04-19-2003, 01:49 PM | #4 | | banned Join Date: Sep 2000 Posts: 5,987 | Quote: | Originally Posted by plastic•husband she's pretty much the main songwriter | what are you talking about? im not even a no doubt fan and i know that isnt true. | | | 04-19-2003, 03:38 PM | #5 | | Nice weather for airstrikes.

A la Justin Timberlake, etc. | | | 04-19-2003, 04:45 PM | #6 | | @ctive member Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 187 | To say that Gwen Stefani is the "main" songwriter of No Doubt would be unfair to the rest of the band, since they all write to some extent. However, if you look at the credits on Rock Steady and Tragic Kingdom (the only two that I own), Gwen is listed as a songwriter on every single track, even on those tracks that are only credited to two members of the band, and her name is always listed first. She also has the sole songwriting credit for 2 tracks on Tragic Kingdom. It's probably fair to say she's got a pretty big hand in the songwriting. | | | 04-20-2003, 02:16 AM | #7 | | well that's better Join Date: May 2002 Posts: 2,493 | Quote: | Originally Posted by mechanicalbride what are you talking about? im not even a no doubt fan and i know that isnt true. | uh, yeah, you're obviously not a fan so you might wanna know what you're talking about. Gwen writes all the lyrics and almost all the vocal melodies, and some of their best songs (Simple Kind of Life, Suspension Without Suspense) were written solely by her. I never said she was the only songwriter, just the most involved. take that biotch. | | | 04-20-2003, 12:15 PM | #8 | | blondie Join Date: Sep 2001 Posts: 14,792 | ehh, if this is true, i knew it would happen sooner or later. i hope gwen doesnt get so big headed that she thinks shed be better off without her band. looks how long theyve been together and putting out amazing shit...they are all so close...putting out a solo album seems a little backstabbing to me. anyways, the reason no doubt is so kick ass isnt all about gwen. its because the band has amazing chemistry. break that up...that might be bad. but if she does put something out ill still get it, im so in love with that chicky.  | | | 04-20-2003, 12:16 PM | #9 | | blondie Join Date: Sep 2001 Posts: 14,792 | oh yeah....gwen writes all of the lyrics and most of the music. yes. | | | 04-21-2003, 02:45 AM | #10 | | I want some Live YKTR Band songs! Join Date: Sep 2000 Posts: 5,167 | Gwen would have a career without the guys. Now, the guys having a career without Gwen is very questionable. | | | 04-21-2003, 09:42 PM | #11 | | @ctive member Join Date: Jun 2001 Posts: 187 | This is from the lastest message Gwen posted on the No Doubt website: I have also been collaborating on some tracks on my own with different people. I am not quite sure if it will become a full-blown solo project, singles for a soundtrack or just songs (like with Moby and Eve). I am just kind of letting it take me where it takes me and see what happens. It is all part of a process for me, sort of an extension of the challenge No Doubt gave ourselves on "Rock Steady." I want to explore all of this during the No Doubt hiatus. We'll see where it takes me! Read the whole message: http://www.nodoubt.com/journal/index.asp?newsID=10015 As for the guys without Gwen... I'm don't think they'll lack for careers if the band splits up. Maybe they'll go the Dave Grohl or Stacy Jones route and become frontmen themselves; otherwise, there will be opportunities to back other artists or become part of other bands. | | | 08-29-2004, 02:59 PM | #12 | | Beyond The Wizard's Sleeve Join Date: Jul 2003 Posts: 4,777 | Gwen Stefani's solo album is going to be an EVENT!
