Tom shares photos

Friday, May 30th, 2014

Hello! Tom has posted a few photos to his web site recently! Yesterday he posted this:

“Here is a photo in Kingston on the day we tracked some vocals with Lady Saw and Bounty Killer, on “Underneath it All” and “Hey Baby.”

“Left to right- Sly, Bounty, Gabrial, (I’m unsure the guys name in front of Gabe), Robbie, Me, Tony, Gwen, Lady Saw, Brian Jobson (and friend) Forgive me for the folks whose names I don’t remember! Not sure where Adrian was, maybe taking the picture?”

Before that, he posted:

“Can anyone tell what year/venue these old No Doubt live shots might be from?”

Tom posted a beautiful photo, and message to his Facebook page today:

“A big part of creativity is having the courage to take risks. For me, this means getting out of my comfort zone, & trying something different, wacky, quirky etc. It’s about telling an old story a new way, or finding a new path never before taken. Sometimes when we take a risk, we fail, & learning from that is an important part of the process. When I joined ND way back in the day we were more of a ska band, and I had a hard-rock musical background. They took a chance and embraced what was different about me, and we fused our styles together into something new. I’m excited about the new paths ahead, and looking forward to taking more risks!”

For this past week’s “throwback Thursday”, Vans posted a photo of Gwen and Warren Fitzgerald at the 1995 Warped Tour:

“We are celebrating 20 years of the Vans Warped Tour on the road this summer, and we are digging into the archives to remember some of our favorite moments. How about this shot from the 1995 tour with Warren Fitzgerald & Gwen Stefani of No Doubt. You’ll be able to catch tons of shots like this one if you come to a show this year in a photo exhibit called DECADES: Warped Since 1995 – Through The Lens Of Lisa Johnson Rock Photographer. Plus, you can watch a live webcast of the tour’s first 2014 stop on June 13th at vanswarpedtour.com/webcast”

Gwen posted a special video for Throwback Thursday – of her Senior prom dress which she made with her Mom! :

No Doubt released a video from the Vault from when Adrian was on VH1′s Rock and Roll Jeopardy. They tweeted “It’s been exactly 13 years since this episode of Rock & Roll @Jeopardy ft. @AdrianYoungND first aired on @VH1!”

Video – Gwen on The Voice

Monday, May 5th, 2014

Hello! I’ve uploaded Gwen’s appearance on The Voice tonight to my YouTube channel. It was an awesome performance, and she looked and sounded incredible! I’ll add a downloadable version to the site tomorrow in case anyone is interested. I’ve really got to upgrade my equipment so I can capture new TV performances and appearances in HD for you guys. This one is 720×480, which is DVD quality, so not too bad.

Hello! No Doubt released another photo from their Vault – this one of Tony standing in front of an Imperial Walker at Disney in 1992! :

Gwen and Pharrell were on the Today Show this morning! The show posted a video and article on their web site.

“Season six of “The Voice” is still in full swing, but fans of the vocal showdown are already looking ahead to the next season of the show. That’s because in addition to a whole new selection of singers, two new coaches will fill the spinning seats — and bring a bit of magic.

Singer and super-producer Pharrell Williams will join pop star Gwen Stefani on the reality TV competition starting in the fall.

“I just found out about this,” Stefani told TODAY’s Hoda Kotb, who took the fourth hour of the show to “The Voice” set Monday morning. “I’m tryin’ to, like, pinch myself. Is this really happening?”

It is!

“It’s magical,” Williams added.

Actually, it’s more than that.

“It’s serendipitous,” he said. “(Gwen and I have) always had a special connection, and it was always through music that we recognized each other’s admiration and depths.”

That’s because this isn’t the first time they’ve gotten together for memorable, magical music. The two of them co-wrote Stefani’s 2005 hit “Hollaback Girl.”

“I knew what I wanted,” Stefani said of the song. “I described it to him. … And he’s like, ‘Oh yeah.’ It’s like he had it in there already, but he had forgotten about it. He just does his thing. Like, you know, we were jumping on the couch. We knew. … We knew (it was) magic.”

“Yeah,” Williams said, agreeing that they saw the hit coming when they wrote it.

Williams knows a thing or two about writing hits — he has a long history of it. He even wrote his current smash, “Happy,” but it was intended to be a duet for him and yet another familiar face from “The Voice.”

Former “Voice” coach CeeLo Green recorded a version of “Happy” with Williams, but his camp decided it wasn’t for him.

“I do regret that it didn’t come out because he was so amazing on it,” Williams said of the track that went on to become his own solo success. “But I’m not complaining!”

Kotb, who’s a self-proclaimed superfan of “The Voice” — and who was clearly happy to hang out on the flashy set — said that she expects Stefani and Williams to “change the whole thing,” and she warned that veteran coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton “better watch out.””

Kathie Lee and Hoda posted a photo from the set to their Facebook page.

According to ABC, Gwen is going to be presenting at the 1st iHeartRadio Music Awards tonight on NBC at 8 p.m. Eastern! The awards are taking place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Unfortunately I won’t be home to capture  it tonight, so hopefully someone else can capture video of her presenting. I just recently moved, and I don’t yet have a DVR at the new house.
