i love to wash in your old bath water/hate to think that you could love another/you’re my best friend/something something/why do the good girls always love the bad boys

i’m racking my brain for more but i haven’t had my coffee yet

[bdl]

i looked up the lyrics and i was mostly wrong but i found out that bathwater was released as a single and has a very 2000 music video!

[harrypotentilla]

what if she just didn't tho

[peachypearl]

I never got into No Doubt but generally speaking I am always amazed by bands who have like 10+ albums remembering everything. What if you play guitar AND sing???? Music and words?????

I mean I know bands practice consistently and especially before going on tour they'll practice whatever deep cuts they want to insert but STILL if I was performing I would just blank out in the middle of the song and start laughing (Or crying who knows I'm full of surprises)

The midsize to big acts who can tour arenas and stadiums for sure use teleprompters. Beyoncé had it for RWT and John Mayer has been using once since at least 2007 but even with the extra help, I think it’d still be easy to space out for just a second and lose your place in a song regardless of how much it’s ingrained in your muscle memory!

[peachypearl]

Yes and the use of a teleprompter is also a skill! Because if you just spend the whole show looking at that thing it's not a very engaging experience for the crowd lmao. You really have to glance at it a bit when you might get lost but by that point it would be too far for me :')

I was thinking about this recently. Then I thought, what about the songs they don't play live? Are there all these songs that get written and recorded and then just... never played again?

[janetdkd]

Will she be able to learn how to be cool again?

[automaticpeople]

This isn’t high school Janet.

[janetdkd]

You ain't not hollaback girl

[yankeesarelove]

she was literally THE girl in the 90s rock bands and now.. ugh. Blake made her brand so watered down

[wickedchild_md]

Y’know, maybe she should learn a sense of self instead of absorbing the personality of whatever man has struck her fancy. Also to not be racist.

[alwayspolaris]

Yeah, as much as I'm a big fan of No Doubt, and I think musicians should evolve, I hate how much of her evolution is tied to the men she's seeing and culturally appropriating. I don't think she realizes the difference between her ex-bf's Indian mom giving her bindis to wear/collaborating with hip hop musicians, and just straight up taking what isn't offered.

Gonna be hard to sing some of the middle period No Doubt songs without a dash of racism.
