No Doubt formed nine
years ago in Anaheim, California, at the suggestion
of high school friend John Spence, a charismatic kid
who was in love with the idea of being in a band and
whose subsequent suicide forced No Doubt to learn to
overcome hardship. The initial line-up included
Stefani's older brother Eric on keyboards (who was
to remain in the band as keyboard player and main
songwriter until '95 when he left to pursue a career
as an artist), and Gwen and Spence sharing vocals.
"I never really thought about being in a band.
I mean, maybe when I watched Donny and Marie I
thought, 'God, I wish I could be Marie,' but that

'I want to be the singer of a band.' That was his
dream," remembers Stefani, whose personal
heroes include Angelo Moore of Fishbone and Kermit
the Frog.
