No Doubt Drummer: New Album Won't Be Ready In 2009

Fans will have to wait a little bit longer for a new No Doubt record: drummer Adrian Young admitted that the band is unlikely to release any new music until after 2009. In late November, No Doubt revealed plans to end their five-year hiatus and reunite for a 2009 tour, with a gig at next year's Bamboozled fest their first confirmed concert. "We've been working on a new record off and on now for a bit of time, and we're going to continue to work on a new record next year," Young told MTV News. "We're going to continue to work on music while we're traveling. We'll have a mobile studio on the bus and eventually get to a new No Doubt record." When the new album is ready, it'll have a home at Interscope, the band's label since 1991.

“Help Me”

Joni Mitchell | 1974

Joni Mitchell wrote and recorded this song for her album Court and Spark, but she had to switch from her regular band to make the song sound exactly the way she wanted. "I had attempted to play my music with rock & roll players," she told Rolling Stone. "They’d laugh, 'Awww, isn't that cute? She's trying to teach us how to play.'" Mitchell switched to a jazz band, Tom Scott’s L.A. Express, and scored the biggest hit of her career in the process.
