I FINALLY Heard "DARE" by GORILLAZ for the FIRST TIME! - เพลง
Fun Fact: The guy singing 'It's Dare' is called Shaun Ryder who used to be in British 90's Manchester bands Happy Mondays and Black Grape. He's actually saying "It's THERE" but due to his strong accent it sounded like he was saying 'Dare' and so that's what they named the song.
Specifically he was saying that in reference to audio mixing and that was just his studio call outs, but they were so intrinsically catchy they built a song around the.
Fuck, I miss Happy Mondays!
No bs that's really interesting to know.
Gorillaz is my favorite non-metal group. Every song makes you wanna move.
Same bro their great. Love the artwork and lore as well
Same here
I've never agreed more to anything in my life
They’re so unique. There no other band like gorillaz. True gem 💎
Gorillaz are up there as my favourite non-metal band, right behind the Prodigy
Honestly with Gorillaz you can’t go wrong with anything off their first 3 albums. It’s all fantastic! I’d even throw in their 2 b-sides albums as well (D-Sides & G Sides)
I'm less fan of their latest stuff.
Too Much guests/duets etc.
Still cool stuff, tho, but when i wanna listen to Gorillaz i'll put back Demon Days and 19/2000 anytime.
Agreed! I love their D-side so much honestly. And the first albums were best and remain nostalgic
Feel Good Inc is one of the songs you need to hear. I love Gorillaz they just do so much different stuff and its so interesting too.
that was the only song of theirs he had heard before his first reaction to them cause his friends played it a lot around him
that song is too overrated... how about doyathing?
The creator of Gorillaz, Damon Albarn, was also the lead singer of Blur back in the 90s. The real life person in the video was Shaun Ryder, lead singer of Happy Mondays
This 👍
The lyric, and thus title of the song, was written as "It's There". But Shaun's accent was so thick that "there" came out as "dere". Albarn found it funny and changed the title to "Dare".
Blur is back btw
The number one thing I've noticed about GORILLAZ in my time of listening to them is that you can't think of just one song when you think of them. I get D.A.R.E. Feel Good Inc. Clint Eastwood, Saturnz Barz, 19 200, and the list goes on. Every single one of their songs is THEM in a very unique way that I don't get when I think of other bands.
Super fast jellyfish, Stylo
All the ones you said plus Rhinestone Eyez, Empire Ants, Andromeda, Busted and Blue, Humility and New Gold are my favorites. And pretty much anything off of the Humanz album is perfection.
None of their songs are forgettable, that's why. They each have their own style and character. It's difficult to say Gorillaz does a specific genre because it varies greatly even within the same song.
More Gorillaz please!
Feel good Inc
Stylo
Melancholy Hill
19-2000
Kids Have Guns
Tomorrow Comes Today
Super fast jellyfish
19-2000 must come first
I like Deltron Zero
Also dirty harry and empire ants
Okay, so there is this huge story with Gorillaz that could easily net you dozens of videos. The first album, or phase if you will, is pretty loose with it's storytelling. The second phase is where it gets narratively more coherent (and IMO the most interesting), starting from Feel Good Inc., continuing with El Manana, then Stylo, Melancholy Hill, Doncamatic and culminating with Welcome To The World Of The Plastic Beach and Rhinestone Eyes. And Empire Ants as a sort of epilogue/recap episode.
This is my all time favorite of Gorillaz! I heard the "dare" part that the guy is saying/singing was supposed to be "there" but his accent was too heavy so they made it dare!
I heard something similar. Apparently they came up with the "it's coming up, it's there/dare" when they were testing his monitoring volume in the studio
Shawn Ryder (the head) is from Manchester in England, in the Manchester accent the t sound often becomes d instead and certain sounds are elongated
Shawn is the lead singer for the happy Mondays, another well known band in the UK
I'm from London and we all said "dare"for there. My mum always said it was laziness. 😂
Seeing how you mentioned strobe lights, I'd say Strobelite is another Gorillaz song worth checking out. Very funky and danceable!
My thoughts exactly!
Yes!!!
strobelight gets my vote!! or submission, which is another kind of vibe again
Alex, how have you never heard this song before?!
I gaurentee you he has xD same as I gaurentee most of the reactions on this channel are fake by this point, but it's all his TH-cam career consists of so much like most other reaction youtubers, he has to pretend these are his first reactions! Otherwise he's lost to the algorithm
@@Cap_The_Captain That's not the case with Alex... He always says if he remembers are song , or not , it had happend a few times were he has remembered a song after hearing the first minute or so
Have you heard him talk about his upbringing? He liked rap music growing up and is Christian as fuck. Some people are sheltered. My bro is a hip hop head I'm metal. I guarantee you my bro couldn't name a single gorillaz song though it's what I blasted all throughout middle school.
have you heard every song ever?
@@Cap_The_Captainat least he can spell guarantee
The head is the one and only Shaun Ryder lead singer of Happy Mondays Great Band.
They have 2 song with genre changes within the songs,
1. Dirty Harry
2. Empire Ants
Possibly my too most favourite after November Has Come. November has come doesn't have a genre change but its fantastic.
Fun fact: The human head in the video is Shaun Ryder, the front man of the seminal group The Happy Mondays. The title of the song came from the fact his Mancunian accent pronounced "There" as "Dare".
Dare is still a jam, always makes me bop. Also, the head is Shaun Ryder, front man of 'Happy Mondays', a prolific band during the 'Madchester' musical movement
Feel Good inc.- Gorillaz thats another good one
He's already done Clint Eastwood. But yeah, Feel Good Inc is legendary
Damon Albarn puts so many layers in his music, it's incredible. He's an incredibly underrated musician. Gotta hit Stylo, 19-2000 (I prefer the soulchild remix of the song, gets me in a good mood no matter what), and El Mañana. Clint Eastwood (my introduction to Gorillaz and was hooked). I also really like the song 'Aries' even though some people don't.
The soul child remix of 19-2000 is amazing. But 19-2000 is probably my favourite Gorillaz track. And definitely one to check out.
@@ChrisReactor1 19-2000a remix has been my ringtone for over 6 years now. :)
Where is he underrated? Not in Europe. Blur and Gorillaz are very famous here.
@@niccinicnic9335 Here in the U.S., Blur was not one of the major bands of the time. But did get played on the alternative rock stations.
Damon has never been underrated
They're just so friggin good! Throughout the years I've been collecting their music. They never disappoint. They're considered alternative, but they have so many styles, they fit anywhere.
This is my fave Gorillaz song of all time. When I lived in Japan in college in 05-06 I listened to this song every single day on my running playlist :) Brings back memories every time I hear it. Love that you're listening to them!
glad to see more gorillaz reactions from you!! for more of their earlier stuff i recommend either 19-2000, tomorrow comes today, or dirty harry next! im assuming you've seen/heard feel good inc but if not that one should definitely be next!!
Feel Good Inc or 19-2000 should definitely be your next next Gorrillaz reaction! Both are amazing songs!
Absolutely one of my favorite songs. I put it toward the end of my workout playlist because it gives me a burst of energy to keep going.
Oooh, good idea. If I ever get off my butt and try to start exercising again, I'll definitely add this to the future playlist.
Please bro keep watching the videos in chronological order, you will find they tell a very cool story that follows the members thorough the years. For example, Noodle (girl) was 10 when the first album was released and now she is 32. She's a supersoldier btw.
Growing up a full metalhead Gorillaz has always held its spot in my all-time top ten and succeded at drawing me into other genres
You have to listen to On Melancholy Hill, Rhineston eyes, dirty Harry,Stylo, Humility and Trans.
yeeeee, best song by Gorillaz!
Definitely a fun group.
I've been metal since the early 70's and there are other contenders for my choices of best non metal but these guys are well up in the top 10 for me.
The videos and concepts are really great.
around a year ago I went and saw Damon in concert and the gorillaz set/earthgang set were INCREDIBLE, now getting to see prob my favorite music reactor check this absolute banger out is huge.
Gorillaz brings me back to a better time when i was younger.
It's one of the few songs that does that to me, Damon albarn is a genius his collaborations are always top tier.
The song was originally called ‘it’s there’ but with Sean Ryder’s thick Manchester accent there sounded like Dare so Damon changed it to Dare
Feel good inc is a must, also all of the plastic beach albumn, keep up the good work
Gorillaz is just so good and I know I can come back to them anytime and just vibe to everything! DARE is in my top 5 but man there are so many bangers!!
You know what you need,Alex??.. the whole discography of Gorillaz, you're not going to be dissapointed.👌🏻
Great video Alex
About time you reacted to this song. Another song that is good from a newer album is “Stylo” by Gorillaz.
Yes! 😁 I clicked as soon as I seen you reacted to Gorillaz again! Stoked! Bring on more! Some of my favourites you could do are Dirty Harry, Feel good inc, Rock the house, 19-2000, Stylo, Saturnz Barz, tomorrow comes today. Amongst many others 😅
Rock the House, for SURE!
DEFINITELY check out "Stylo" by them next. Super catchy song with maybe the greatest music video of all time...
BRO love the content, gotta give Humility or Dirty Hairy next. I also love Rock the House but no music video
The end of this song still makes me laugh even after all these years, great reaction glad you are enjoying gorillaz hope to see many more 👍
Just got home a couple hours ago from seeing Mammoth (Wolfie Van Halen's band), Sevendust, and Alter Bridge. Man it was a great night in Buffalo NY. You should check out any of their new music. Mammoth had an album coming out in a few days, Sevendust just released an album and Alter Bridge released an album in October 2022 I believe. I've seen all 3 bands before, and this was the best they've sounded. My ears are still ringing, arms hurt from leaning and being pushed into the rail every 2 seconds, but damn that was fun. Vaping some THC and I'm glad to see a new video from you. Thanks 🤘🎶
Used to put this on in my room any time i was doing college work. This and Harder Better Faster Stronger kept me awake
Definitely worth checking out their Demon Days album (which this song is from) as well as the Plastic Beach album. Demon Days especially is banger after banger, and I've never heard anything quite like it.
All their albums are great and have lots of variety.
I love how Noodle dances -- She got game
Thanks for reacting to my fave Gorillaz song.... A couple of other quirky bands/tracks to check out: Fun Lovin' Criminals "Scooby Snacks" and Bloodhound Gang "Mope"
One of my all time favorite songs, I belt it out at full volume every time it comes up on a playlist.
6:59 ur reaction lolol 🤣
Same dude, but the Demon Days album in general is and always will be amazing and unique 😄
Omg you need to listen this because the album came out on the week I was born. Stylo (plastic beach. My favorite album) omg gorillaz are the best!! New subscriber❤️🤟
Ryder's the bollocks end of! Check out the Happy Mondays fella nobody sounds like them (despite thieving melody lines and lyrics a plenty from the depths of pop music) or ever has since - sheer magic in their funky drug fueled chaos!
There's a very long list of bangers from Gorillaz but keeping it short "19-2000" has great animation in the video and sounds like it was ripped straight out of a 16-bit video game, "Stylo" is among my all time favorites and had Bruce Willis in the video, and "Feel Good Inc." is an all time classic
Thanks. I couldn't remember which one Bruce Willis was in!
you should look into the lore, the characters have backstories and they have a timeline, only pieced together by all the videoclips, weird flash games that no longer exist, comics and shorts and other stuff, there are a couple of videos on youtube that explain all the gorillaz timeline. The characters are so unique.
Feel good inc or duncomatic would be really cool to see! Loved the reaction!
Glad you're delving down the Gorillaz rabbit hole. I can't recommend enough the song 19-2000. That said, they have a number of absolute BOPS. Saturnz Barz is catchy and fun, and I believe it has a 360° version of the music video. El Manana is another really good one. Really, I don't think you can go wrong.
Please Please Please look up the lore on each band member. They each have a unique and amazing story behind them, and it makes listening to (and watching) them that much better.
They have a new song named "Cracked Island" very diferent, but same time very familiar to other Gorillaz songs, take a try! Nice video and reaction!
That’s Shaun Rhyder from The Happy Mondays. I saw Gorrillaz in Dublin Ireland a few months ago and they are absolutely amazing live. Great gig.
And there are so many more cool songs from them! Looking forward to more!
I saw them live last year in Verona's arena and they are amazing. Many many songs to hear... dirty Harry, 19-200, on melancholy Hill, stylo
Craker island, saturns barz, Stylo, 192000, dirty Harry. All bangers
Its kind of awesome how seeing a cartoon kid break out awesome dance moves makes you want to move, its so cool how that works.
Definitely checkout every track on the self titled album not a bad track each one is great.
Love Shaun Ryder, from Happy Mondays to Black Grape. I live in Manchester so it’s a given.
Yaaaaay! I LOOOOVE this f*cking song.
It's simple but infectious. It was my ringtone like forever.
As soon as that beat drops, so does my ass...involuntary...😂😂
I know this is a weird vid to suggest it, I adore the Gorrilaz anything you do of them I'll watch. But I want you to check out, Poets of the Fall/Old Gods of Asgard. Finnish band, Prog Rock, Alt rock, Alt Metal etc....superb, you'll LOVE the singer's voice.
This has been my ringtone for…gosh, two decades now? Funny seeing someone react to this song~
One of their newer songs "Aries" was great. Featuring bass by Peter Hook (New Order).
New Order were another bad from the Manchester club scene, along with bands like Happy Mondays (Shaun Ryder, the guy in the vid).
I know you've heard "Clint Eastwood" already, but Feel Good Inc was/is also great.
The head was a guy called Shaun Ryder who was in a band called ‘Happy Mondays’. Check out the song ‘step on’ by them. Love Gorillaz though, they have a song called ‘stylo’ with Bruce Willis in the video
I discovered Gorillaz pretty late, around the time The Now Now came out. I think Dare was the first song I heard from them not off that album. It's still special to me.
The Now Now is underrated
I never knew i needed to see Alex do the tootsie roll😂 but im happ i did. Since you like Gorillaz so much, you really should do a reaction to ther song "19-2000" its there best single if you ask me!!
Yes!! AMazing song brother, glad you know it now!
The human head/backing singer on this is Shaun Rider from Happy Mondays. You need to listen to his group Black Grape and the track "In The Name Of The Father". Such a good tune
Pretty much anything off of Plastic Beach has to be your next listen. My top 3 from that album would be Some Kind of Nature, Rhinestone Eyes, Superfast Jellyfish
Superfast Jellyfish doesnt get enough love
I picked up their self titled album many years ago when I was a teen. It was an impulse buy at an airport before I got on a plane, had my walkman with me...that album will forever hold a special place in my heart, first full Gorillaz experience for me. For react content though I would likely recommend Stylo, Saturnz Barz, or if you want a music video/song that will put you in a great mood, Humility (It features Jack Black)
Gorillaz is one of my favs. What I always find interesting is how the Noodle character literally grew up throughout the videos since her appearance in the first video "Clint Eastwood".
I was driving a 1978 Dodge Magnum with a 1,000 Watt subwoofer when I found this song. My insides shook as much as this song makes you moce on the outside. Good times
This song is disgustingly addictive lol. Gorillaz just know how to create atmosphere. Some of their newer stuff is hit or miss, but when they tap into their roots, they are like magic to the human mind lol. It invokes so much thought, and I am quite the thinker!
Recommend "All Alone" from their 2nd album (same as DARE & "Feel Good Inc"). Wasn't a single, but gives you a split in tones that's pretty cool.
Songs to check out from Gorillaz: Stylo, On Meloncholy Hill, El Manana, Rhinestone Eyes, Strange Timez, Pink Phantom, Lost Chord, Dirty Harry, Tomorrow Comes Today, Humility, Kids With Guns, 19-2000, Empire Ants, Ghost Train.
The entire album Demon Days has stayed on my Desert Island 5 since it first came out. It's fantastic start to finish.
I don't know if you like musicals, but I'd love for you to check out The Ballad Of Jane Doe from the musical, Ride the Cyclone.
Did in the sunglasses is Sean Ryder from the Happy Mondays.
my god broo i didnt ever listen to this BANGER ? thank god for your comunity for showing you good stuff xD
For the next Gorillaz song I suggest Every Planet We Reach Is Dead, 19-2000 or Saturnz Barz, all of which are absolute Bangers
Rhinestone Eyes, Empire Ants, and Saturn Barz would be the next 3 I’d recommend
God this takes me back!!! This song was fire. Gorillaz are fabulous.
YEAH! Do ya thing or Stylo have got to be on your list for Gorillaz songs
Also check out their song '19-2000'. That one always makes me happy.
I had a 'moment' to the 11 minute DFA Mix of this -- absolutely incredible
Gorillaz first 3 albums are all killer no filler dude, you shoudl def do anything off of plastic beach album next
Gorillaz is one of those bands that get me actively excited when they drop new music. Im rarely ever disappointed by stuff they do. One of the only times i can think i didnt like a song was the song they did with Bad Bunny on their new album (Also my 1st Bad Bunny song).
I'm quite surprised you didn't mention the fact the head in the song was shaun ryder from happy Mondays. Also for the next gorrilaz sing try 19 -2000
Also you should listen to baby metal - devine attack. Or try mushroom head - we are the truth.
Alex, 2 years ago you reacted to 'Infectious' by Imminence and I hope you'll back to their music, they are so good.
What a great "Step On" point to get into The Happy Monday's. Please tell me I'm not the only one....
Every single thing--yep, you got it--JAMS
19-2000 is one of my favourite songs of theres same year as clint eastwood realise date
Check out 19-2000 by Gorillaz, the jammiest of jams.
Brilliant ! I recommended this one 😊
This is my “it’s been a shit day so dance around the kitchen “song
And I’m a 53 year old northern English fat bloke 😮😅
I’m happy you picked up on the layers of the music😊
Feel Good Inc or 19-2000 next for you dude!
Gorillaz’ “Demon Days” album is the soundtrack of some of the most formative years of my life (high school into college), and I still think it holds up today. It was WAY ahead of its time. I can recite the entire album from the first song to the last, including every instrumental breakdown. 😂
Gotta listen to Saturn Barz You’ll love that music video.
I'd recommend the Junior Sanchez remix. It's got a completely different vibe. My local radio station played it more often than the original. If memory serves, it was originally released on their D-sides album, which has other official remixes for some of their songs.
