Geezus, not that anyone gives a fuxor about awards shows or gorillaz- hatin' anymore, but watching the MTVE awards and seeing a clip of albarn talking about injecting some intelligence into this mainstream culture 'we have to put up with' while 'get the cool shoeshine!' plays in the background makes me see red. What are they doing in the company of "Romeo"? And then a snarkily bemused albarn takes home best 'dance' act! I hate awards shows. I might just be warming to "can't get you outta my head", though. And there were a *lot* of girls on stage for 'Girls,Girls,Girls".

BLUR rox so does gorrilaz put them together in an animation and name them Blurrillaz... THAS ALL THERE IS TO IT!!

― Marcus Bass, Sunday, 11 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I like Gorrliaz better than blur, though neither have come out with a new song yet. Blur's songs are a little too redundant to me. A quick shout out ----- If anybody can find actual photos of the band gorrlias, (actual pics) no cartoons now. Please tell me or you can address me as Nikki. Reach me at : fmsimmons@zaftique.com thanks lots! bye = * muah!

ONCE AGAIN THE YANKS( yes you good all U.S.A ) MANAGE TO SUPRISE ME WITH THRE BAD TASTE IN MUSIC ( AND JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE ). I THINK BOTH GORRILAZ AND BLUR ARE GOOD GROUPS AND A LOT better than 99.99% off all american bands feel

― lyndon harrison, Wednesday, 21 November 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

we not all yanks! ps. how do 99.99% of american bands feel?

There's a sentence in here trying to fight its way to the surface.

If any of you were smart enough to look on the booklet thingie in their album the rapper or Murdoc is Del Tha Funkee Homosapien. Neat huh? well he is the cousin of ice cube and he doesnt rap aboput violence and hoes and stuff. he raps about public transportation and other things. some of his raps are pretty cool and funny. you can see more info on cdnow.com but i suggest downloading some of his songs like if you must. Dan the automator does the song with him ItS HILARIOUS. i have to say that the rock the house video is REALLY MESSED UP. I like the 19-2000 video. Play the simulation on their webpage! their album is the best 16 bucks i spent.

― Jorge!, Saturday, 1 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

also If You Must is in the game Tony hawk 3. I originally liked blur but only song 2 but now i looking for music from all the bands in gorillaz. the gorillaz rock period. im not a rap fan but del makes some good raps. left hand suzuki method just really kicks ass.

― Jorge!, Saturday, 1 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

i love the gorrilaz and wouldnt mind giving david and murdoc a good ass raping and spanking, if anyone shares the same fellings as me email me to bentham2000_99@yahoo.com

OFF COURSE BLUR!!!!!!!!!! gorillaz is shite!!!!!!!!!!!!!! How can you prefer an animated band who's concerts are behind the curtains and who's music is crappy, shit-eating, son of tricky dicky rap. Shame on you Damon........you were a fine lad on blur. Also I heard they're going to release a colaboration with slim shitty and D-12. That's awful. Blur's the best. Songs like this is a low, beetlebum, on your own, the universal, the swamp song are BETTER than any gorillaz song like 19-2000. What a fucking crap, sounds like kindergarden music. I miss Graham's guitar, Alex's bass, David's drums............and Damon's natural way of behaving. I'm waiting for their next album. Well this is for Gorillaz fans: If you like so much animated things why don't you go to hell and wait for the Sezame Street or Teletubbies soundtrack to enjoy. In the emantime let us, the fine ear, enjoy good music!!!!! Long live BLUR.

I think what Simon Price said about them in the 'Independent' year- end round-up was a bit much. 'Casual racism'!?

― dave q, Thursday, 27 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Yes, but Price = arch Manics fan.

― DG, Thursday, 27 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Does anyone know, TRUTHFULLY, who plays the instruments and sings the lyrics for the gorillaz? Also, does anyone know where I can find pictures of the band members,not the cartoon personas? Thanks

― Orion, Saturday, 29 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Damon's natural way of behaving

Namely like a headless chicken that still thinks its head is attached to its body?

― Ned Raggett, Saturday, 29 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

'Namely like a headless chicken that still thinks its head is attached to its body?'

Ned, that is sheer genius.

― dave q, Saturday, 29 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I think what Simon Price said about them in the 'Independent' year- end round-up was a bit much. 'Casual racism'!?

I think the "casual racism" thing is all down to the fact that they thought "Um, we have a Japanese character, what shall we call him? How about NOODLES!"

(I'm not sure if I quite agree with Mr Price here but he did tip Riviera for next year so I feel like I've got to defend him, even if he is only seeking vindication for ROMO)

― jamesmichaelward, Sunday, 30 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Ned, that is sheer genius.

One tries. Meanwhile, Riviera then. I'm waiting for a band to call itself Miami Vice or Eldorado.

― Ned Raggett, Sunday, 30 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Well I think that both bands are excellent, just in different ways. Gorillaz has a sound that is really creative and different which I find pleasing to the ear. Blur has amazing lyrics and has this really cool sound which I even begin to describe. Even though the groups are clearly very different they both contribute much to the musical world. I would highly recomend both groups to anyone who would want something to listen to in the car , dance to, or just sit and listen to.

― Monse, Monday, 31 December 2001 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I Don't care there both cool, But we Don't even know WHAT THE PEOPLE IN THE GORILLAZ BAND LOOK LIKE!!!!

Y DON'T U LOT STOP MENTIONING THE WORD BLURILLAZ AND ANSWER THE QUESTION THE ANSWER IS GORILLAZ R NOWHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS BLUR THEIR ONLY GOOD SDONG IS CLINT EASTWOOD BUT BLUR HAVE LOADS IOF GOOD SONGS LIKE COUNTRY HOUSE, CHARMLESS MAN, GIRLS AND BOYS, FOR TOMORROW AND THE BEST OF THE LOT PARKLIFE SO WOT A RIDICULOUS QUESTION BLUR KIKS OASIS, SUPERGRASS, GORILLAZ AND EVERYBODY ELSES ASS.

― Ian, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

BLUR HAVE DONE UNBELIEVABLE ALBUMS LIKE GREAT ESC, PARKLIFE, LEISURE AND BEST OF BLUR COULD GORILLAZ DO THT NO CHANCE.

― Ian, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

...Blurillaz?

― Dan Perry, Wednesday, 13 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Sum1 talk.

― Ian, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I like the way Greeham plays his guitar

― electric sound of jim, Thursday, 14 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Why does this thread still exist? Neither Blur nor Blurillaz have made a song as great as "Love To See You Cry" by the great genius Enrique Iglesias, a heartbreaking tale of a man who only likes it when he makes his girlfriend really miserable, as it makes him feel important. That's real, man.

I think the singer of blur is the singer of gorrilaz because every body says it

How have I never come across this thread before?

Seems to me like someone isn't doing their job properly.

Oh, BTW: BLURILLAZ

i just watched "Live Forever" and Damon comes off as kind of pathetic. it was probably just an editing trick but blurillaz.

― chaki in charge (chaki), Monday, 3 January 2005 02:02 (nineteen years ago) link

I think the reason people hate Blur is because Damon is an unsalvageable prick. Shame he's in such a great band.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 3 January 2005 09:18 (nineteen years ago) link

There was a point when I cared about these bands. That point, i'm afraid, has passed us. That said, I'd sooner throw my Gorillaz discs on the fire than my Blur one, if only because I spent some much goddamn, inexplicable time hunting down those Blur CD singles.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 January 2005 14:28 (nineteen years ago) link

my Blur ONES, I should say. I still play their stuff on occaission. Can't remember the last time I played the Gorillaz discs.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 January 2005 14:29 (nineteen years ago) link

Alex I find it hard to imagine you as a fan of either of these bands for some reason.

I think Blur will sadly be remembered for their more horrible moments (Song 2, Girls & Boys, Parklife) than their better (This Is A Low, Coffee & TV, Chemical World, On Your Own, Best Days etc). God I want to hear some stuff of theirs RIGHT NOW!

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 3 January 2005 14:36 (nineteen years ago) link

Alex I find it hard to imagine you as a fan of either of these bands for some reason.

That's because you fail to heed Flavor Flav's advice, and you BELIEVE THE HYPE!

I was a huge Blur fan for a while, hunting down their most elusive tracks by hook or by crook (this was pre-internet). However, unlike their more ardent supporters, I tend to prefer their earlier stuff (the rot set in circa Parklife). I'd sooner play Leisure than any of their last three albums.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Monday, 3 January 2005 14:58 (nineteen years ago) link

Well see Leisure was a fine album but to me it was only mildly better than any of the other Baggy/Indie Rock/Shoegaze stuff that was coming out at the time. It's good but it's not exactly original whereas by "Modern Life" they'd become themselves (songs about cups of tea and eccentric Englishmen and hating America; experimenting with different musical styles etc). I think Parklife will always be my favourite as it was my first "proper" rock album, first CD and my first foray into ahem-alternative music.

― dog latin (dog latin), Monday, 3 January 2005 15:33 (nineteen years ago) link

the new gorillaz album was completed in Dec, produced by Dangermouse, it'll be out next year.

+ everyone comes off badly in 'Live Forever', Liam especially but there's no surprise there.
