They talked about forming a group to play music together, and that is how No Doubt began. Gwen and Eric Stefani lived in Anaheim, thirty miles south of downtown L.A., in conservative Orange County. The band weathered the death of John Spence, their first tragedy, and broke up for a few days before coming back together. A Dairy Queen meeting in 1986, beside a break of only a few days, may suggest that the group's start was brief and its first test came early. A fan of No Doubt's shows named Adrian lied about his experience to get a spot behind the drums in the summer of '89. Eric Stefani disliked giving up creative control to an outsider, and in time he stopped recording and rehearsing with No Doubt. He left No Doubt in 1994 to resume an animation career with the cartoon TV series The Simpsons. Rolling Stone describes the group as a small ska band from Southern California that grew into an international rock band, with ska, punk, hip-hop, reggae and Broadway among its influences. A drummer who lied his way into the band, beside a later list of ska, punk, hip-hop, reggae and Broadway influences, may point to a group whose lineup and sound both widened. "Don't Speak" was released in Europe in November 1996 by Interscope Records, and lead singer Gwen Stefani and former band member Eric Stefani wrote it. Gwen's brother wrote most of the song at first, and after the band worked on it, Gwen changed the lyrics around to fit her life. Gwen Stefani says that Tony Kanal, the band's bassist, had split up with her, and that she wrote the words. Rolling Stone reports that Adrian wants the sound to rock, that a member named Tom contributes his music theory knowledge and that Tony adds propulsive bass, while the other members credit Gwen as the major force behind the direction of Return of Saturn. Gwen and Eric Stefani both lived in Anaheim, and both are among the writers of "Don't Speak". No Doubt was nominated for two Grammy Awards at the 1997 Grammy Awards, for Best New Artist and Best Rock Album. In April 2024 the band played a reunion show at Coachella, the first time they had played together since 2015. Gwen Stefani says that writing a song is where she gets her fulfillment, and that it gives her a sense of purpose and value. Grammy nominations in 1997, beside a Coachella reunion in 2024, may point to a band whose public life spans more than two decades. Do Gwen Stefani's remark that songwriting gives her purpose and the other members' view of her as the major force behind Return of Saturn describe the same part of the band's story?
