I saw the in concert when I was in high school. Best "live" show I've ever been too
Muse and RHCP are my favourite live artists. always amazing
NothingCleverToCallMyself
I'm seeing RHCP at reading and am sosososo excited!! ^-^ People keep telling me that they're not too good live anymore??
Idk but I watched their pinkpop 2016 show and it was great so
Reassuring!

What was that like?
Huge screen and projector, the band came on screen and shouted out Hello Reno and all that jazz. At the end the artists came on stage

Adam821
They're my favorite band! Have been for ages. So glad that a lot of people here agree
OurEndeavour
What do ya mean? There's not an actual band called Gorillaz?
Xaldyn
Put very simply, Gorillaz is Blur's side-band that they use to do whatever sound they want without having to worry about only putting out
sounds that *producers* want. They also get a shit-ton of guest artists. Listen to a Blur song and then a Gorillaz song -- Damon Albarn,
Blur's vocalist, is also the Gorillaz vocalist, aka 2D.
JodyHighroller
Albarn is the vocalist, that doesn't mean it's just a side band they threw together. There's like a million guest producers and musicians
dvs2nite
and the cartoonist has a pretty big say in what goes on I think as well.
and recurring big-name guests like Del and Dan the Automator
nahemah
Another fun fact: a group of gorillas is called a band.
tehzpoon
That's the funnest fuckin fact I've learned all day. Knowledge is awesome.

Saw Deltron in concert and lost my shit when they played Clint Eastwood.
ght2v1
Well, it is the side project of Damon Albarn, lead voice of Blur.
TomIsMyDog
I liked not knowing. It was part of the magic.
BecauseRacecars
I didn't know people didn't know this!
Fun fact! A couple of dudes from the band Blur are the men behind it. The song called Song 2. It goes "WHEN I FEEL HEAVY METAL WAHOO!!"
BreadyStinellis
Do you really have to clarify who Blur is? Doesn't everyone know them? Also, this was news like 15yr ago. Were you all babies then?
I thought everyone knew this...?
That's not a fun fact! That's like telling me big foot isn't real! Not knowing the truth is part of the magic!
pandareject
Wait bigfoots not really ????
I'm sorry you had to find out like this son..
[deleted]
thisaggressionwillnotstandman
This is totally false.
Technically true, the recording artists and live artists rotate resulting in the variety that is the Gorillaz
Session bands are different for all kinds of artists. This is not at all exclusive to the gorillaz.
Damon Albarn is the vocalist for 2D and the principal songwriter for Gorillaz though.
BarryBenson
Saw that live last year. Mental.
TrustMeImABassist
"MARAVILHA LIBERÔ WOO HOO! SAI DE TRÁS QUE ESSE DAÍ É LETAL" - as misheard in portuguese
BrianTheImpaler
Oh. Si¡ Si¡
You mean "Song 2", which is actually the second song from their 1997 self-titled album. Good song but it's not my favorite by Blur.
When I found that out years ago my little mind was blown
shmekie
Beetlebum, what have you done?
Hell chea!
crunchydeskchair
Their album 13 and last album Magic Whip are tied for my fav. Favorite song to this day though is still "The Universal"
randomhumanity
This is the next century
10000Bees
Are the "" an important part of the title or something? Because I'm pretty sure his comment says Song 2.
Many people seem to do it for song titles and it's something I've gotten used to for years now.
"You mean" you've gotten used to it.
FatherCummingworth
Just Damon Albarn from Blur and a cartoonist.
Jamie Hewlett to be exact.
and like 500 guest musicians
GreaterDog
This is what gets me. I know the cartoon isn't a representation of 4 band members, but you can't say it's 1 guy when 15 people do a show.
serialkillazjungle
But it is Damon Albarn that writes all the music and 90% of the lyrics and orchestrates the whole project.

I really hate to be a dick about this but is there any official announcement or source for this? I keep hearing conflicting claims.
It exists -OOOooooOoooOoOO-
Thanks... I kinda noticed, since, yknow, it's been 4 months since the album came out.
And I just now find the post how disappointing

On Jamie's Instagram he's definitely been in the studio with Damon so at least we know some progress is happening.

It was so bittersweet hearing it won't be out till 2017 but yeah at least the gears are actually turning and they want it done well

Same, although last time I heard about it, it was supposed to be this year.

Same, I heard it was coming this year back in December 2015

Technically true, the recording artists and live artists rotate resulting in the variety that is the Gorillaz
BreadyStinellis
Session bands are different for all kinds of artists. This is not at all exclusive to the gorillaz.
KaijuStu
Damon Albarn is the vocalist for 2D and the principal songwriter for Gorillaz though.
BarryBenson
Saw that live last year. Mental.
TrustMeImABassist
"MARAVILHA LIBERÔ WOO HOO! SAI DE TRÁS QUE ESSE DAÍ É LETAL" - as misheard in portuguese
BrianTheImpaler
Oh. Si¡ Si¡
TabloidWeasel
You mean "Song 2", which is actually the second song from their 1997 self-titled album. Good song but it's not my favorite by Blur.
KaijuStu
When I found that out years ago my little mind was blown
shmekie
Beetlebum, what have you done?
KaijuStu
Hell chea!
crunchydeskchair
Their album 13 and last album Magic Whip are tied for my fav. Favorite song to this day though is still "The Universal"
randomhumanity
This is the next century
10000Bees
Are the "" an important part of the title or something? Because I'm pretty sure his comment says Song 2.
TabloidWeasel
Many people seem to do it for song titles and it's something I've gotten used to for years now.
10000Bees
"You mean" you've gotten used to it.
FatherCummingworth
Just Damon Albarn from Blur and a cartoonist.
TabloidWeasel
Jamie Hewlett to be exact.
JodyHighroller
and like 500 guest musicians
GreaterDog
This is what gets me. I know the cartoon isn't a representation of 4 band members, but you can't say it's 1 guy when 15 people do a show.
serialkillazjungle
But it is Damon Albarn that writes all the music and 90% of the lyrics and orchestrates the whole project.
strangevargo
New album in 2017!

Plastic Beach was already supposed to be the last one; just be glad we're even getting another.

Drshwing
Heard a rumor that David Bowie may be featured on the album!
Gribbles39
Heard the same, that Bowie was helping to write it. Not sure about vocals but either way I'm excited.
MajorBroloone
I really hate to be a dick about this but is there any official announcement or source for this? I keep hearing conflicting claims.
PoisonInJest
It exists -OOOooooOoooOoOO-
MajorBroloone
Thanks... I kinda noticed, since, yknow, it's been 4 months since the album came out.
PoisonInJest
And I just now find the post how disappointing

Multilateral
On Jamie's Instagram he's definitely been in the studio with Damon so at least we know some progress is happening.
majesticgoatmonger
It was so bittersweet hearing it won't be out till 2017 but yeah at least the gears are actually turning and they want it done well
ShizaruIV
Same, although last time I heard about it, it was supposed to be this year.
GrandmasterPunchfist
Same, I heard it was coming this year back in December 2015
DrFunkenstein57
I'd rather the production take a bit longer than release crap...but that's just me.
GrandmasterPunchfist
Agreed. Just telling what I heard
PapaTimDankopus
..That was supposed to come out 2016....after a delay for supposing to release in 2015....
Totallyscrewedinaustin

Chroven
IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE 2016 TT-TT

It's better that they take their time instead of rushing it out. :)

funkmoth
It better be better than Plastic Beach! There was a few good ones on there but their other albums I can listen to from beginning to end.
girafficdesign
U fuckin crazy mate Plastic Beach is incredible
pHartAttack
Big Gorillaz fan. Couldn't agree more. Self titled is their best and I want more of those deep trippy vibes.
Osyruin
Plastic Beach is great, The Fall is personally my least favorite.
OtherPeoplesNamesGetMePoints
Plastic Beach is a great album. Could listen to Melancholy Hills all day long.
GrungirStoneheart
Have you heard the fall?
bananaslippers
Favourite track on the album.
Hyperscout01
Rhinestone Eyes is my favorite of their songs.
gbombuh
I thought Plastic Beach was terrible tbh
Mahkaite
Starshine is my favourite. Don't know why,it just is.
hplovebaggs
rock the house is that jam that whole first album with del the funky homosapion killing the rhymes
ezbowers
Literally the worst gorillaz song
TheDiscoFairy
Me too!
Axleoke
Dirty Harry and if you want a great song for testing subs in a system All Alone
awildslothe
the intro to rhinestone eyes still gives me chills
McKyrl
Cause it's a scary gargoyle?
cavalia
cloud of unknowing is a favorite.
MoostTextor
Man it took my to long to find this comment. That so is beautiful!
Mistophant
Every planet we reach is dead is fucking awesome
deltajesus
You seen the storyboard video for it? Such a shame it never got made into a proper one.
Mattikus99
Fantastic track, favorite on the album. Some kind of nature with Lou Reed is a close second.
OHGODTHEBEES
Hong Kong off D-sides
alittletime
Anything from Demon Days
chickenliverssquishedtogether
That is why I had such a problem with Plastic Beach. It when from dark and bleak to sun shiny and mainsteamyish.
alittletime
Yeah plastic beach want all that good. I only liked El Mañana, doncamatic, and rhinestone eyes
ghostanom
I enjoyed both personally.
McKyrl
Are we the last living souls?

Dracula. Mine is definitely Dracula. 'Rest is good for the blood'
Mahkaite
Ahh i love that one! When I was a kid I didn't know so much English at all( I'm a swede) so I just thought it was a chainsaw. Haha
southboundpachyderm
That'll work too lol Cheers
boogertown

JuniperSpaceWeed
Clint Eastwood is fantastic.

Empire Ants always takes me to a special place.
zeemode
Chills just reading this title. Song is always one of my favorites.
valdezaurora39
Foreal
BigOleDingus69
Yes empire ants builds beautifully
MrBfromRapture
For me it'd be "Fire coming out of a monkey's head" followed closely by Dirty Harry
ArchMagos
My favorite ballad of theirs.
HailKingSwagins
"Fire coming out of a monkeys head" is great! Good choice
IcandowhateverIlike
I used to strip to that - It's always unpopular with the crowd till the melody gets into full swing, then it kills
StillbornGod
Pics or it didn't happen
PhuckKnuckles
She can do whatever she likes.
Drshwing
Melancholy hill is mine, followed by el manana.
PineappleNipples
God yes! Melancholy Hill was my junior year song. Everyday I would listen to it just about.
LouisZacharias
El Manana>Melanholy Hill>Feel Good Inc.>Rhinestone Eyes
