    It was called 'Clint Eastwood' because the harmonica sound effect that reminded Damon Albarn of old western movies, also, he didn't want to give it a specific title. This is from the early 00's, but the Gorillaz continously make music.

      Think the longer version is older by about 5- 7 years. The lyrics, I'm happy feeling sad I got sunshine in a bag.
      Every Clinton's wood western ever.. he's the man with no name shows up he useless until needed as a gun fighter. He alway carries his saddle bag with him. Then once he's done the deed by making the bad guys in to plant food.
      He's moving on moving
      on to the next town.
      Happy feeling sad goes back to the first two movies where his wife dies. And he's hung shot beaten left for dead.. There is a lot more to the story line/song than you would
      think.

      To be fair, I would hesitate to say 'steadily' when referring to their work. Truth is, Damon and Jamie had a huge falling out a decade-ish (maybe not precisely, but close) ago. They didn't talk to each other for a good, long while, and I believe there was even an interview where Damon said the Gorillaz were dead. This was around 2012. It wasn't until they reconciled that they released Humanz, because the two decided to fix their working relationship. That aside... Being able to recover from differences like that should be something of note.

    The cartoon characters are the band… They are a “virtual” band. The characters have backstory and everything.
    A few core creatives and many guest artists work to bring this band to life.
    The videos are part of the story of the songs in a way. There is even some continuity across the videos and the band’s “career”.
    They are not a group that is easy to pin down to any particular genre.

    If I remember correctly, the purpose of the animated characters were because Damon didn't want real people and their personas to detract from the music but still wanted someone for the audience to engage with. The genres are blends of different ones and change from song to song.
    I remember something about Damon saying that he noticed that a lot of the youth at the time were largely separated into genres as far as their tastes for music went and he didn't like this. A lot of the youth didn't explore different kinds of music (old or new) so he wanted to create music that had somewhat of a mix of pop elements from genres like electronic, rock, hip hop, country etc. But blend them in a way that it would expose the audience to different elements of other genres and hopefully open their minds to different kinds of music. That was the base of what Gorillaz as a "band" and project was meant to be.

    • @jdpiper
      @jdpiper 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      Also I recall there being a desire to be able to switch the real musicians out who played the animated ones to give the albums a specific sound. Basically Gorillaz could be anyone and everyone as needed. You even hear little hints of that concept in this song--Del is both there and not--you don't see with your eye, you perceive with your mind. When you look at the screen it's Del the ghost, but that isn't who is _really_ rapping--that's just a drawing.

    What's cool about Gorillaz is that the band was created to tell a story. Each character grows and gets fleshed out through each album. For example, Russell, who's featured in the lyrics, is the drummer and he channels the ghosts of dead rappers for bars in their songs, which explains why they feature different artists on different albums and songs. Also the lyrics by Del the Funky Homosapien are in character; they're from the perspective of a ghost summoned by Russell during the video.

    The Gorillaz are an animated band (fictional?) The creator was the lead singer of the band Blur, and for a lot of the songs it’s collaborative with multiple other artists.

    I grew up listening to pretty much anything and everything due to the influence of my parents. They exposed me to all kinds of music and I’m incredibly appreciative for that. Even though they’re both gone now, I still carry that with me.
    That being said, I remember when this cd came out someone that my dad worked with burned a copy of it and sent it home with my dad to give to me. I immediately fell in love and have been a huge fan ever since.

    Gorillaz really can't be explained by any one music genre they cross back and forth through hip hop rock and even at times pop.

One other thing the rapper is Del the Funky Homosapien who happens to be the cousin of the rapper Ice Cube. Great song that is just one of a great volume of work. Another great one is feel good inc.

They have some newer works out too and of those my favorites are Humility (the comeback song after a very long break), Tranz, and Pink Phantom. Also the band itself has some very interesting lore and history behind it that you may find generally interesting. Love the reactions btw!

    You're definitely going to get a ton of recommendations to watch "Feel Good Inc," which is a great one, but I'm hoping you'll see "Stylo" before long. It's the first song of their Plastic Beach era storyline... and yes, the Gorillaz have had story arcs over the years. "Stylo" directly continues into "Melancholy Hill," and after that... the official video for "Rhinestone Eyes" never got past the storyboard phase, but after 6 years of effort, a fan completed it. And it's awesome.

  • @jmalone1465

    The Clint Eastwood reference is from “The Good the Bad and the Ugly” Eastwood says “ Sunshine in a bag” referring to gold in a saddle bag. The vibe is a preset, electronic, that Albarn thought
    sounded much like the western soundtrack melody. Actually pretty cool, unique and the. Band is prolific.

    Gorillaz are a mix of hip hop and other genres such as alt rock, pop and club music. They came out during a period when hip hop was extremely popular within the mainstream (late 90s to early 2000s), along with all the nu metal bands that also blended rap with other genres. This was also the era that gave us Eminem.
