Sad but true, says Damon Albarn in an interview today

This band was a huge inspiration to me, and I'm sad to see them go. Thoughts?

:,(

Gorillaz, you wil be missed.

 

[Helmholtz Watson]

Spoiler: My response to seeing your thread

I weep for Russel, Murdoc, Noodle and 2D.

What?????

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODKA;JDFA;;aoidhfakdj;Garble[small]Garble[/small][sub]garble[sub] sob[sub] sob[/sub][/sub][/sub]


I am now terribly depressed

 

[Loop Stricken]

I gave up on them when they started to tell a story and I couldn't find where the hell they were actually giving out any details.
Sod 'em.

 

[Nouw]

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!One of my favourite bands bite the dust, I am not happy :'(. They were great and frankly I can't ask for more. I'm glad I saw them live since it was one of their last shows. Gorillaz, you will be sorely missed. On the bright side, Damon has BeetleJuice and the Moon plus the Gorillaz have found relative peace.

All good things must come to an end. To be honest, I never thought they would even make it to Plastic Beach...

 

[Hazy992]

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

 

[Luca72]

I always feel like a band breaking up after having a really strong output is better than staying together too long, but damn, I'm gonna miss them. Loved the music and the art.

 

[Frybird]

Oh, that sucks...

I found Demon Days to be amazing, and even though it took some time, i eventually enjoyed Plastic Beach very much too. (The Fall kinda sucked, and the rest of the albums were "ok" but flawed).

And i liked how with every album Albarn managed to have a sort of different, yet familiar sound.

Also, i would've very much liked to see a Gorillaz film (planned WAAAAY back when Clint Eastwood was all the hype), if only to have a true animated film by Jaime Hewlett (Even the almost non existent possibility of an animated adaption of Monkey: Journey to the West is now confirmed impossible if Albarn and Hewlett are no longer on speaking terms.) that isn't runied by 90ies awfulness (also, i like weird musicals)

 

[xplosive59]

Ina musical sense they wernt really around for that long, 14 years I think? Bands like Black Sabbath had multiple breakups over there 40 year period but got back together after a while, same for many other bands just give it time and in another ten years there will be another reunion when Albarn is low on cash. Although im not really a fan of the band I have a few mates who are.

 

[ubersyanyde]

I thought they were finished a while ago. I suppose it's nice to know what's happening now though.

 

[Sehnsucht Engel]

Gorillaz hasn't actually been that good since after the Demon Days album, so I guess it's a good thing they quit.

 

[arnoldthebird]

I thought they were good, not one of my favourites but Demon Days was such a good album, they will be missed. The music industry has lost a good soldier today

 

[SpAc3man]

Well I never expected them to do more than the first album but they proved a lot of people wrong. Good to end on a high I guess.

 

[GoaThief]

Not really that fussed, preferred them to Blur though.

Shame for the fans but they've had a good run. No doubt everyone involved will be back with some new things.

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.
