    Default Gorillaz

    In the past, I had always kind of passively listened to their singles, but ever since I've heard Feel Good Inc., I haven't been able to stop listening to them. They manage to pull off something special with the blending of all the different styles and the great characters.

    So who's you favorite character? Song? Video?

    A side note: I think it's funny how much the creators of the band (primarily Damon Albarn from The Verve and Jamie Helwett, the artist of Tank Girl) have managed to pull off so convincingly that the band members are real, breathing people, and that the videos are just avatars of the real people. I've been to sites where people are doing in-depth analyzations of their songs, quoting the "band members" from the official site, taking everything so very seriously...not realizing that it's just a very clever way of the creators to trick them. Regardless, the characters are very interesting and show quite a bit of personality in the videos, and even moreso if you visit their website, which is a highly interactive flash version of their "studio." Worth checking out.

    DAMON ALBARN IS THE FRONTMAN FOR BLUR.

    RICHARD ASHCROFT WAS THE FRONTMAN FOR THE VERVE.

    SIMON TONG WAS THE GUITARIST FOR THE VERVE AND HAS RECENTLY BEEN THE TOURING GUITARIST FOR BLUR, SINCE THEIR OWN GUITARIST LEFT.

    I was going to reply about the Gorillaz, but I have to go pick up the exploded pieces of my brain, instead.

    Sorry, I don't know why but the two got mushed up in my brain. I kept wanting to say that the guy behind it was Richard Ashcroft until I fact-checked. Guess I didn't look close enough.

    It's quite alright, I've recovered now, having remembered that some people have lives and don't have to live through their bands. Yes.

    I'm morally opposed to the Gorillaz, but they are indeed catchy.

    I like them. The music is good, but it's the animations with music that really does it for me.

    Yeah, they're all right. From the two tracks that I've heard I like them. 'Clint Eastwood' & 'Feel Good Inc.' are the tracks I've heard. I've never really bothered to listen to any of their other tracks.

    My favorite song is Dirty Harry, and as far as the albums go, I'd say they are pretty much as good, but Demon Days disappointed me: half of the songs I don't care about.
    For the videos, I'd have to rewatch the DVD and then compare it to Feel Good and whatever new video they made since.

    And then there is Death
