Nearly 10 years after the group's last studio effort,
2000's
Gwen Stefani took some time out from
No Doubt's studio sessions in California to
visit New York City for Fashion Week last week. Rolling
Stone reports that Stefani previewed her "military and
punk-inspired" fall line of her
L.A.M.B. clothing collection on Thursday, and
then spoke at the event about No Doubt's studio
progress... Stefani also
said that the band has been inspired lately by the music
of the '80s. Stefani said, "The last few weeks, we’ve
been listening to the worst of the ’80s, in the sense of
bad but good. Pop songs, one-hit wonders, nifty songs,
things like that. You just go back and find things that
you love, and try to figure out how they made them. We
just listen to good songs, and then writing our own
stuff, we try to pull it out wherever we can."
When asked, “What was the last thing I was listening
to?," she replied, "Lionel Richie. I
love him."
There is bad news for fans who were holding out hope
that Peter Gabriel would reunite with
Genesis for their Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame
induction next month. Rock Hall president Joel
Peresman has announced that Gabriel will not
attend the event on March 15 in New York, confirming
what Gabriel told Rolling Stone last month: that he was
skeptical about performing with his old bandmates. "I
learned at our last reunion [in 1982] that you can’t
just get up there. You have to rehearse," Gabriel said,
as he is in the midst of rehearsing for his own European
tour. "I’m trying to find a way to do it. It’s not easy.
If I can work it out, I’ll go." He added that it is
unlikely that there will be a full Genesis reunion
anytime soon because "Phil
[Collins] has had trouble with his
wrists and his back." Genesis will be inducted along
with The Stooges, ABBA, Jimmy Cliff and
The Hollies.
