@@jackdaone6469 That's actually why they changed 2-D's design. Originally, he was missing his 2 front teeth. But since their triumphant return in 2017, he's only missing 1 of his front teeth, and you'll notice it's the exact same tooth that Damon is missing.
I asked his bodyguard Smoggy about his bead necklace thinking it was Albarns. His wife kindly responded below. This is the closest I’ve gotten to an answer on the fate of the beads. Hi Sean - The answer to your question - Smog said The necklace Damon wore was made by his mom when he was very young. Damon no longer wears his necklace he gave some of the beads to his god daughte rOlivia who is actualy our daugher and beads live on in the form of a necklace made by Smog for her. Smog has has his bead necklace since the 80's and was custom made by himself ! x x (sic) Here’s my verdict: I’ve read some comments around that said people had handed in some to security after the gig. It seems reasonable to conclude he gave the remaining beads to people who were special to him.
That’s actually on the internet also, I’ve seen the video. They’re performing Popscene. I can’t remember exactly the title of the video, but It’s 1992 Blur something
I hate that I know enough albarn lore that as soon as he mentioned Madrid I was like “oh man, was that the one where he lost his bead necklace and went mental?”
I remember going to the soundcheck during the Gorillaz Humanz tour in Chicago. I can’t remember why I said this, but it had something to do with Damon’s typical weariness of technology and how fast information spreads. I ended up saying kinda loudly “not like how it was with Blur, huh?” Didn’t expect Damon to actually respond back but he did asking “what was?” And I said “y’know, information and incidents passing and everyone knowing about it.” And he said, “oh God no!” And then he told the story he told here of him pulling his pants down when he was 20.
Well 2-D's singing has gotten lower over the years, early on Damon would do a fairly high falsetto but he's too old to hit those notes now. But also studio recording allows him to always get 2-Ds singing just right, if you watch their concerts in 217, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023 (many of which are here on TH-cam in full, I actually have a playlist with all the best and most HD ones) you'll notice that he doesn't even bother and just sings as he normally would, like how he does on Blur songs.
“ *inhales slowly* I mean where do I start with those?......” Why does he sound so down in flint the beginning?.. he also sounds like he just woke up a few minutes ago..
He did :( idk what happened but he said in the New World Towers doc he kept some of the beads in a bowl, made by Damon's mom while he was at the hospital with anemia (wow a lot of information!! lol)
At least those were partially due to his own choices but my band's worst gigs were often hearing our band's mixes in our ear monitors sounding fine and then finding out afterwards the sound guys didn't even turn on the mics for our backing vocalists...
Well, it looks like it was really important to him, I wouldn't be over it either if I was him. That, and he was drunk and clearly in a bad place when it happened probably also made it more hurtful. Not only did he loose something so important to him, he also embarassed himself by being so drunk while it happened
Why it's that people always assume it's drugs or booze? Obviously he's done some and might still do occasionally, but couldn't it be he's just tired this time? It's not like pop-musicians are stoned 24/7, especially since its no 90s anymore and Damon's what, 50 here.
Sorry to tell Damon, but that video without trousers is on the internet too. But the person uploading it had the decency of editing it adding a black circle to cover “that”
I was at the Blackburn gig for the TT tour in November 2003, the day after they played the Manchester Apollo. Damon admitted then got absolutely hammered after the Manchester gig and he was still majorly hung over. It really affected their performance, and not in a good way.
Yes and no. Yes, because Graham loved MBV so in 1990-91, Blur recorded many songs with "guitar walls" on them. And no, because the Rollercoaster Tour was in March-April 92; by that time, Blur were in another musical direction.
Laughing and boasting about being drunk and doing public exposure after criticizing Shaun Ryder’s live performances… He should be arrested and put in prison. Sorry- not funny.
He acts like he’s just woken up all the time
Love this comment so true! Lol
lmao
It’s probably true. He’s always on planes. Jet lag.
He's so high
@@Brokenface No.
Number one must be “DDDAAAAAAAAHHHEEEERREEE”
This video was next after a live performance of that
That’s what I thought
Whats that i want to kn pls
If I went to that I would've been laughing my ass off, just a drunk dude trying to act cool.
dehhhhh
Damon laughing silly and genuinely is the most precious thing in the world
2D’s just him as a cartoon.

1:29 “I had this necklace that my mum had made me” 😭 THIS MAN. Lovely man.
Carolyn Grace Marie mum had made me
Carter Harrison oh is that it? Yes perhaps so. Either way, so endearing haha :)
def so, that's how he talks. He'd never call her momma. He's English like me.
quarkyzarky yes I think you guys are right, I shall fix it
To be honest if i had a bit to drink and that shit happened i would of done the same thing.
Blur, My Bloody Valentine, The Jesus and Mary Chain, AND Dinosaur Jr.?
What a lineup.
That's what I thought! What a time
That hit when he said “my mum made me” and the fact he lost it was so sad 😭
I found this by searching up "Dare live drunk,"
Same
same
I CAME FROM THAT TO HERE LMFAO 💀
SAME OMG
same

omg i am SO HAPPY READING THIS
He doesn’t have a wife
@@WestCoastCultured Reread what I wrote…
So THAT'S what happened to the bead necklace
Probably the cutest thing I've seen in my life. "Just imagine! [Raises finger]"
WAIT, YOU JUST REPLIED TO ME, ABOUT.......
11 HOURS AGO!
Jasmin: Eh? Do you remember where? 😂 Small world
Raccoon Child sadly, no
Raccoon Child WAIT, actually yes, in the fire flies visualizer
Jasmin: Oh! Still Gorillaz-related then. That's less crazy than I thought
ahh that iconic madrid video. too bad we dont have a video of the pants down incident. i love damon lol
The video was here (in youtube) but now it's private (srry for my bad english)
Nevermind. Here's the link m.th-cam.com/video/Ikscyrnx730/w-d-xo.html (but it's censored)
@@olga.a. no it got taken down by wmg as always.
Do you know where I can find that video? @@olga.a.
its on tiktok now lol
Lol Naked Damon as a meme... That would have been hilarious!!
I like your profile pic
@@Aomicplane Aww Thank you. I like yours too! Twinz :D
@@candi_fallz lol epic moment

Got it, Blur The New Music 1992, that’s the video where he takes his pants off 😂
Damon half naked and drunk on stage. And nobody recorded it.
ɪʀɪs ʙᴇᴇ. † watch 'Blur interview for Canadian TV'
@@taslimahasan3247 It’s blocked 😞
Can’t find it 😔✊🏼
Does anyone have the video?
@@delle.theninthplane OH NOOOO
IT'S DEEEEEHHHHHHHHH
“I’ve got hot chocolate on meself”
that’s,,, that was cute
He should narrate documentaries
he’s looking so good & well rested, I wonder if it’s because he stopped smoking
Victoria Niccals ah how do you know he stopped smoking?
Carolyn Grace Marie he mentioned it in the full interview, just look up Damon Albarn Radio X (:
Victoria Niccals oh I see thank you friend :)
Carolyn Grace Marie of course! (:
lol i thought in another interview he implied that he was under the influence of drugs for writing the new album
I hate that I know enough albarn lore that as soon as he mentioned Madrid I was like “oh man, was that the one where he lost his bead necklace and went mental?”
He looks like he just woke up and it’s the cutest thing

He truly loved that necklace, I haven’t seen a pic or video of him in the 90s without it 😭 bless him
oh god the necklace incident ):
His voice sounds so deep compared to 2D singing voice
Well 2-D's singing has gotten lower over the years, early on Damon would do a fairly high falsetto but he's too old to hit those notes now. But also studio recording allows him to always get 2-Ds singing just right, if you watch their concerts in 217, 2018, 2020, 2021, 2022, & 2023 (many of which are here on TH-cam in full, I actually have a playlist with all the best and most HD ones) you'll notice that he doesn't even bother and just sings as he normally would, like how he does on Blur songs.
This is why he's my favorite musician.
I love you Damon
That Radio X at the end scared the shit out of me
Ha, Damon kept getting further from the mic so I kept turning the volume up.
0:19 I know that feeling.
THIS MAN IS BLESSING! 😭😂💚
“ *inhales slowly* I mean where do I start with those?......”
Why does he sound so down in flint the beginning?.. he also sounds like he just woke up a few minutes ago..
*DAMON IS A BEAN.*
and Murdoc is a pickle
gross stop
aw didn't Graham have a matching necklace as well? :(
Glastonbury 90's Graham or Dave got a friendship bracelet from Jamie Hewlett
He did :( idk what happened but he said in the New World Towers doc he kept some of the beads in a bowl, made by Damon's mom while he was at the hospital with anemia (wow a lot of information!! lol)
Yeah, so cute
@@misstembo2000 im oretty sure it was alex that recieved it actually? unless im misremembering
ITC COMIH UH
ITC KOMINH UPP
IT KOMMINGH UHP
IT DAAHE
Don’t worry Damon. I still have that roll of film developed but haven’t had the heart to post it…. Yet!
The pants one?
That video was fantastic. Thought it was a bracelet though.
3:21 oh no, he’s cringing, oh poor sweet Damon! 😓😣
red bull and vodka 😎
The fact I actually seen the gig when he had his pants down is scary 😭 (I saw it on tiktok) (and I saved it to my camera roll 😈)
How big is it?
And I need the video
Please it’s important I need it for school
The best musician ever! And he's really cute
At least those were partially due to his own choices but my band's worst gigs were often hearing our band's mixes in our ear monitors sounding fine and then finding out afterwards the sound guys didn't even turn on the mics for our backing vocalists...
He remains a very cool dude. His voice has not changed since the early days!!
He's still no over his necklace lol
Well, it looks like it was really important to him, I wouldn't be over it either if I was him. That, and he was drunk and clearly in a bad place when it happened probably also made it more hurtful. Not only did he loose something so important to him, he also embarassed himself by being so drunk while it happened
His voice always sounds like he just woke up. That low deep voice.
its coming up its coming up its coming up
its dare
Damon talks about how awful alcohol is...while very hung over.
I mean makes hella sense I don't get where the irony is lol
Or just high
Why it's that people always assume it's drugs or booze?
Obviously he's done some and might still do occasionally, but couldn't it be he's just tired this time? It's not like pop-musicians are stoned 24/7, especially since its no 90s anymore and Damon's what, 50 here.
He isn't though.
@@ChainNonSmoker This.
That One Dislike Was Probably Murdoc
Damon Albarn and his “Gorillaz tribute band” smh
I searched up Dare live and this showed up, I already know...
Damon orders redbull vodkas LMAO
Dino JR, MBV, Blur & JAMC holy shit
I tried to replicate that necklace with my beans when I was 13 ,I wore it for 3 years, still have it🤗
Yeah, im happy for damon that nobody filmed that last one 😂😂😂
B sides gig in 99 at the Electric Ballroom. SO HOT
In Roskilde we love our annual drunken Albarn, but the guy might have a problem with drinking... Lots of love! ❤
00:19 Mr.Bean's face
This is great
The damon almost hit the speaker on the stage during the concert
IT'S DARE
Tricky traps
*SPEAK INTO THE MIC BOOOOOY!*
But he said it was a bracelet?in 2 minutes!
Very inspirational
no Damon you were right ! I want my necklace back !!
0:18 muacks
What a bloke!
Sorry to tell Damon, but that video without trousers is on the internet too. But the person uploading it had the decency of editing it adding a black circle to cover “that”
Do you have the link to the video?
he’s insane
Great stories
Damon is looking and sounding more like my grandad with every passing day. Stop friggin aging, you immortal magic man >:D
I like Radio Eggs. It’s good crack
its deghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Does anyone have the footage of the first story?
Just search angry Damon Albarn
All his recent tour with blur …? They really looked so disconnected.
I was at the Blackburn gig for the TT tour in November 2003, the day after they played the Manchester Apollo. Damon admitted then got absolutely hammered after the Manchester gig and he was still majorly hung over. It really affected their performance, and not in a good way.
Does anyone have the video of Damon taking off his pants? (please😭)
were you listening? it wasn’t filmed
looks like he's just got up
Tanyasparrow?
Was this filmed recently?
Kinda like a musically gifted James O'Brien from LBC Radio
To those wondering what he’s talking about here’s a link to the actual gig in Madrid th-cam.com/video/G3qoCSiJJVY/w-d-xo.html
IIIIIIIITTTTTTTTTTSSSSSSSS DDDDDDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEE
Hahahhahahahahahahahaahahahahahah 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀
Is it me or does he look constantly stoned?
My Bloody Valentine? Maybe thats where they got their shoegaze sound
Yes and no. Yes, because Graham loved MBV so in 1990-91, Blur recorded many songs with "guitar walls" on them. And no, because the Rollercoaster Tour was in March-April 92; by that time, Blur were in another musical direction.
😂😂😂
hahahahah >
looks and sounds tired
Hello Tanya
Shanta Callaway hello :)
Oop
He's crying for help... So sad
Terrible audio.
I watched blur at this time. They were terrible
Laughing and boasting about being drunk and doing public exposure after criticizing Shaun Ryder’s live performances… He should be arrested and put in prison. Sorry- not funny.
He should talk about how Shaun Ryder is an absolute pathetic embarrassment.
Oh fuck off. So he gave a bad performance on DARE at 1 concert in 2005. Every other time he's done the song with them, he's been perfectly fine.
🥰
It’s a stoney he’s wearing and he still doesn’t look hard.
