love to wash in your old bathwater

adrianyoung.jpgthose of you who know me personally know how much i love gwen stefani and her band, no doubt. that said, i can’t believe it has taken me this long to sing the praises of the group’s drummer, adrian young - this week’s (long overdue) hot rocker.

his penchant for exhibitionism is a big turn-on, but i also like it when he wears a bit of black eyeliner. it’s theatrical, but somehow still totally masculine and very rock ‘n roll.

i was front and center for a no doubt concert a few years back, and i was rockin’ the eyeliner myself. at the end of the show, as they were taking their bows, adrian handed me one of his drumsticks (not the one i really wanted, mind you, but i was still super-excited)! to this day i maintain that this was due in part to our shared affinity for a little eye make-up.

according to the band’s web site, they’re back in the studio. the next no doubt album is definitely in the earliest stage of production, as the band hasn’t played together for a few years (plus gwen had that little side project thing!)… but for now they’re just writing and “jamming” and seeing what happens. i’m hoping for the best!
