Ýmislegt áhugavert á þessari Simpsons síðu...
FAQ:
I heard a member of No Doubt quit to work on The Simpsons. Is that true?
Yes. No Doubt's founding member, keyboardist Eric Stefani (brother of lead vocalist Gwen), left the band in 1994 shortly after their second release, The Beacon Street Collection. This turn of events happened when Eric became disillusioned and frustrated by constraints put upon his songwriting by Interscope Records' producers. Rather than compromise his music, he turned to his other love -- drawing -- and began work as an animator for The Simpsons.
No Doubt went on to bigger and better things without Eric by their side, starting with their first big hit, "Just a Girl" in 1995. However, Eric continues to assist the band with songwriting from time to time, and is in and out of the animation business.
