Gorillaz is Over

[Captain Pirate]

Aww... They were a big part of my childhood. Saddening to see them go.
Oddly coincidental, as today my Gorillaz Converses arrived.
Ah well, the music'll live on.

 

[loudestmute]

It's better to have loved and lost, than to have your favorite band performing at the Super Bowl halftime show leaving you wondering "what the hell happened to them?"

You shall be missed.

 

[Mister Eff]

I'm more upset that Blur are done, so recently after they came back. I saw them at Glastonbury at their own self described "best gig they've ever done" and it was mind-blowing. Gorillaz I saw the next year, were terrible. Absolutely terrible. Loved their cd stuff however, just not as much as Blur's.

 

[Woodsey]

Weren't they over in like, 2006?

 

[Dr Pussymagnet]

I only really like Clint Eastwood so I can't say I'm bothered tbh. Sad for the fans I guess.

Was that their first really huge song? Something to do with sunshine in a bag? I got the CD that was on and was greatly disappointed. Never cared for them and honestly thought they had faded into obscurity years ago.

No that song was called, funnily enough, Sunshine in a Bag.

Clint Eastwood was an album and a song.

No...?

Clint Eastwood was the name of the song, not Sunshine in a Bag, and the album was just called Gorillaz.

OT: Well, this fucking sucks. I mean, I knew they were nearing the end of their run, but I was kind of hoping for a better end to it all besides The Fall. Oh well, at least DoYaThing was pretty good.

I'm obviously not a fan. It turns out both of my original claims were incorrect.

I was making the (confusing) mistake of thinking that this album was a Gorillaz album? I don't even know what was happening there.

 

[HooterNanny]

Wow. This is the first news of this type that I've heard in a while that has genuinely made me sad. Gorillaz was probably the first band that I ever picked up on and became a fan of, and its literally followed me through more than 2 thirds of my life.

I remember when I was like, 6, my brother loaned me his copy of the first album, but said I couldnt listen to Clint Eastwood or 19-2000 because they had swearing in, countless bus journies to and from school staring out the window listening to Starshine.
Gorillaz always tends to remind me of being young and not having responsibilities and crap. Really sad to see them go, but at least the music will always be there

Now if you'll excuse me I need to go wax nostalgic and listen to El Manana

 

[Sonicron]

Damn it. I loved this kooky project to bits... such a shame to see it end.
Guess I know what I'll be listening to tonight.

 

[natster43]

Sadness. I really liked the Gorillaz. They are one of my favorite bands in fact. Well, as they say, all good things must come to an nd.

 

[Roofstone]

Volf already said this on the first page, but god damned it I will say it again!


They didn't even finish Rhinestone Eyes! Gaaah! Now I am sad! D;

 

[daveman247]

ah well.

Feels good was brillient, clint eastwood was ok and so was dirty harry.

Although i think it was the whole "cartoon thing" that was the only thing that made them stand out.

 

[DugMachine]

Well this sucks. Didn't like everything they made and only 2 songs off Plastic beach but Demon Days is one of my top 10 albums evar. They had a good run though

 

[Artina89]

I couldn't really get into them to be honest. I mean, I liked "Feel good inc" and "El manana", but that was about it. My dad liked them though. Anyway, I think Damon Albarn once said that Gorillaz was only going to do three albums, but I could be wrong about that.

 

[Yoshemo]

My favorite bang is over :C Time to be sad forever

 

[Scarim Coral]

So there won't be a animated farewell or is 2D, Murdock, Noodle and Russel are forever stuck in animated limbo?
Either way I didn't stay in touch with the group (I know they got the ablum Plastic Beach but I haven't listen to the whole ablum yet). Either way I'm sad about it.

 

[bobmus]

Thank goodness, the moment they started becoming a brand to put on Converse shoes and the like, the moment they became what they were created to parody - celebrity icons. Now they can no longer drag that into the ground, or worsen further in album quality.

 

[Weaver]

Well, fuck this sucks a bit. At least they're not ending on a sour note...

Well plastic beach wasn't really that good IMO.

 

[Nouw]

All these people calling it a band when it was Albarn's solo project. It's like calling Jay-Z a band. This is the nittiest I've ever picked I'll admit, but what's up with that?

Murdoc, Noodle, 2D and Russel would like a word with you .

 

[Nouw]

Murdoc, Noodle, 2D and Russel would like a word with you .

Sure thing. Right after I'm done with Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and the Tooth Fairy over here.

But the difference is that they're called a virtual band . Don't tell them though!

 

[Starik20X6]

They had a fantastic run. They will be missed. Glad I got to see them live.
