• Gorillaz to Quit?

[QUOTE]Gorillaz latest album "Plastic Beach" is likely to be the group's last. The animated band's bassist, Murdoc Niccals, said with the group's third album their work "feels complete" and it could be the last time the collaborative project comes together. Murdoc - who is a cartoon mouthpiece for project masterminds, former Blur Frontman Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett - said: "I think it'd be very hard to top this one at the moment. It feels complete... today." He, however, added: "But every album I enter is made as if it's my first and very last." "Plastic Beach" sees collaborations from artists including Lou Reed, Snoop Dogg, Bobby Womack and former clash guitarist Mick Jones and rap group De La Soul alongside Damon and others. Murdoc also said that if he is discontinued he'd like his ashes to be fired into space, or inhaled by Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards. Murdoc added: "If I ever do die, if I do get a choice I want my ashes ground up with charcoal and sulphur, shoved into a barrel, and then exploded out into the nocturnal sky, among the stars from whence I came. Either that or I'd get Keith Richards to snort them." Keith famously hinted in an interview that he had mixed his own father's ashes with cocaine and snorted them, a claim he has since denied.

Maybe he'll make a new series?
Who knows. Maybe.
Well they would certainly leave on a high note.
I wonder if he'll return to a style like his older work, such as what he did with Blur.
I thought they said that their second album?
[QUOTE=Eli Vance;20670377]I thought they said that their second album?[/QUOTE] They always do.
What is up with all the news about bands this week....
wait, the gorillaz are just cartoon characters created by one guy?
[QUOTE=TheChantzGuy;20670613]wait, the gorillaz are just cartoon characters created by one guy?[/QUOTE] Didn't know that?
Did anyone else think "Stylo" sounded like shit?
[QUOTE=firstblood;20670640]Did anyone else think "Stylo" sounded like shit?[/QUOTE] I didn't like it all that much. Everybody raves about it though
[QUOTE=articpenguin;20670662]I didn't like it all that much. Everybody raves about it though[/QUOTE] Yeah i used to love the Gorillaz but Stylo didn't sound right to me.
I'm a hugh jass advocate of planned endings instead of fading into shit so I guess this is a good thing.
[QUOTE=firstblood;20670715]Yeah i used to love the Gorillaz but this didn't sound right to me.[/QUOTE] Empire Ants sounds like Stop The Dams a little bit.
the album is good, don't judge it by one song
[QUOTE=toxicpiano;20670744]the album is good, don't judge it by one song[/QUOTE] Were we talking about the album?
i'd rather have them(him?) quit now, then feel compelled to create another album and have it sound like shit
Wasn't grooving Stylo or Superfast Jellyfish, but Welcome to the World of the Plastic Beach was pretty good.
if we're talking about murdoc he kidnaped 2d and stuck him underwater with a bunch of whales i do not trust a fictional spokesperson
well this made me sad D:
This isn't really new. Jamie Hewlett already stated that the Gorillaz are probably done for after the next album. He also said something along the lines of "I'm fucking tired of drawing them. (Gorillaz)"
Better to leave on a high note, at least he will be remembered for taking part in a good album rather then a shit one.
This makes me very sad. I hope he is joking.
Funfact: The artist for Gorillaz is the same artist behind tank girl.
...And nothing of value was lost. [editline]08:46PM[/editline] [QUOTE=FunkyHippo;20672624]Funfact: The artist for Gorillaz is the same artist behind tank girl.[/QUOTE] Really? I didn't know that, rated you Informative :D
I always thought that they only ever planned to make 3 proper albums. Like, that was the plan from the start.
tbh demon days was better [editline]12:06AM[/editline] better to leave now while its good, than keep making albums with less and less effort
Well if they are going they will be missed.
Ah, damn. I'm going to miss these guys if they go, one of my favourite Music Groups/bands/Whatever.
