If I remember correctly, there is a Gorillaz cinematic universe, in a sense. The music videos sort of tell an overarching story. They also treated the band members like real people who aged, had fallings out, etc. I think they were even on MTV Cribs and released an autobiography
There is actually a few animated interviews and everything
the gorillaz lore gets SUPER in-depth, each character could get a full-fledged movie written about them individually LOL. the world building and character development has so much care put into it across sooo many years worth of interviews (tv radio and magazine!), music videos, album concepts... I was so enamoured with it growing up i have a backlog of random gorillaz lore trivia forever embedded into my brain
And in the "The Now Now" album, when Murdoc (bassist) was in prison, he was replaced by Ace, the powerpuff girls villan, technically connecting the Gorillaz universe to the 90/00's CN universe.
The music videos do follow the story of the characters. There is usually a wide time gap in between some due to the years of album releases being far apart.
I believe the next music video, story wise, would be "El manana". It follows directly to the end of "Feel Good Inc.".
this is like the perfect band for y’all to react to. Gorillaz is two guys. Damon Albarn (a musician) and Jamie Hewlett (a visual artist)
They’re the 2 permanent members but they cycle through loads of different people because the point of Gorillaz is that it doesn’t matter who the people behind the music are, it’s just the music itself that matters.
Yeah, Gorillaz isn't a "real" band in the way that they are probably thinking about it. I believe most if not all their stuff was done in a studio and not musicians actually playing together. Like when he asked if they're still together, there isn't really a "they" except the one musician and the animator.
The Gorillaz music videos are always so great.
Also I wouldn't call it a cinematic universe per se but the music videos of their albums always tell an interconnected story related to that album.
The windmill plot continues in the song "El Manaña".
Nah it goes a lot further than just the songs, they had a movie and a tv show planned for adultswim, and murdoc used to have a website he made that had arg-esque hints in it, and recently their newest album litterally told the story in reverse.
If you ask most Gorillaz fans what their first song was, I can guarantee you that a majority of them will name Feel Good Inc. I know this because this song was my Introduction to Gorillaz, I even went to one of their concerts last year.
I feel so old because I remember the video premiere of Clint Eastwood 😢. But I do love how Feel Good Inc. is a great introduction to Gorillaz.
Mine's The apprentice
Mine's "Murdoc is God", my dad show it to me one night!
@@tinal8447lol Clint Eastwood was the first Jam Feel good was totally round 2 greatness
@@Nastyn1nja808 Sounds correct to me.
I LOVE GORILLAZ!!! HOPE YOU GUYS LISTEN TO MORE OF THEIR SONGS AND MUSIC VIDEOS!!!
Edit: Yes there is gorillaz lore if you guys were wondering.
Edit 2: Here are some more Gorillaz recommendations: Dirty Harry, Saturn barz, Humility, Cracker island(from their newest album), 19-2000, Clint Eastwood, Melancholy hill, Rhinestone eyes. I feel like these are essential( or at least the more popular songs).
These guys are way ahead of their time with the creativity they showed. Their 4D animation youtube videos for recent stuff like Saturnz Barz is mind blowing. You can spend 30 minutes just in their virtual reality space looking around the entire music video. Also they don't stick to any Genre. They have their own take on many many different styles of music.
there indeed is a gorillaz cinematic universe and y’all watching the music videos in chronological order would be sick
I would love to watch them react to every Gorillaz music video.
There was actually supposed to be a Gorillaz movie/tv show on multiple different occasions, but unfortunately the most recently planned one just got canceled a while back.
If you're interested in following the Windmill Island plot there is a follow up music video, called El Mañana.
Wouldn't call it a cinematic universe, but most of the mv's are connected, while other mv's are treated like "the band made a music video for MTV". It's a fun time tho, definitely complicated and a little convoluted.
Gorillaz was one of the best bands I've seen live.
After this music video, I believe the story continuity continues with El Mañana! Every album and each of the music videos do in fact follow a storyline, and the fictional members, 2-D, Murdoc, Russel, and Noodle, have done interviews and stuff outside of the albums, like the MTV Cribs tour. Also a bit of trivia since you mentioned the cartoon aesthetic: in The Powerpuff Girls Movie (2002), there is an advertisement for a Gorillaz show, lowkey canonizing Gorillaz' existence in the PPG universe. I think this is largely due to the fact that Jamie Hewlett and Craig McCracken (creator of the PPG) are friends
I would love for you guys to check out El Manana next. That song just forcibly chills everything out lol
The gorillaz could legit be a new series on the channel because they have a looong history
The Gorillaz is an animated band, with all the music videos of all their albums basically telling a story of their adventures as a band. On top of this, there are numerous canon videos of the Gorillaz getting into random shenanigans. Also, they're canonically in the same universe as the Powerpuff Girls, so that's cool.
The music video for the song "El Manana" is a direct continuation of the music video of "Feel Good Inc." so I suggest you guys watch that one next.
Now THIS is what i never expected from Sorta Stupid. And it's AWESOME! They gotta react to more of Gorillaz
(At 3:08) kind of ironic, that's the lead singer's name (with the 8 Ball dents in his eyes), 2-D.
The founder and bass player, who now has green skin, is Murdoc.
The black drummer with the white eyes, is a survivor after all his friends were killed of a drive-by shooting who sometimes possess him taking on the form of a ghost call "Dell the funky homosapien" (that has finally been exercised but the white eyes are still permanent), named Russell.
And lastly the little Asian guitarist, girl who apparently has superhuman abilities… I think, is Noodle.
Fun fact: Murdock got arrested one time that Ace from the Gangrene Gang, (Yes, we're talking about the same Ace from the Powerpuff Girls, they're a lot of connections between The Gorillaz and the Powerpuff Girls as shown on The Powerpuff Girls Movie), temporarily filled in for him as his replacement and they are "friends" from what I can tell.
this album has a story arc behind it, the video for the song El Manana continues where this video leaves off on the island with the windmill and explains the helecopters presence
Let’s goooo. One of my Favorite Bands
If i remember right, El Mañana is the "sequel" to this video, an often overlooked song and video but is worth checking out. Song Machine series is also really good.
GORILLAZ HELL YEAH their one of my top favorite bands
Demon Days is one of the greatest albums ever made. It's a masterpiece from start to finish.
The guys who did the rap is del la soul and the guy who did majority of the rap is named David Jolicoeur and unfortunately he passed this year. I hope you guys react to more gorillaz! Rest in paradise Trugoy 🕊️
omggg Gorillaz is one of my fave bands ever, I LOVE their music so much!!!! So happy y’all are reacting to them, they’re super cool!!!
If I recall Gorillaz also is considered canon in Powerpuffgirl universe, the original PPG not the remake. One of the Gang Green Gang joined the band much later down the line as well. Also don't want to spoil, but other famous people have shown up in their music videos.
fun fact, my hero academia named one of the companies in their universe, one run by a villain, "Feel Good Inc."
horikoshi wears his fandoms on his sleeve.
Yep there is generally speaking a story going through the years. The plastic beach album is my favorite and it has a self contained story in its music videos
El Mañana's music video follows up this one, also i 100% suggest you guys continuing watching gorillaz!! They're defiantly in my top five favorite bands, they also have like short stories too which i suggest you watch aswell!! Also also the characters are: 2-D the one singing with blue hair, russel the one playing the drums, murdoc the one playing the bass and noodle the one that was on the floating windmill
Gorillaz is one of my favorite bands! And their albums and such tell a story. The Gorillaz were formed by Murdoc, the bassist doing the hip thrusting, in London. He heard 2-D sing at a night club once and asked to form a band. Then they met Russel, a drummer from the Bronx. Finally, they were looking for a guitarist when then-10-year-old Noodle (she's like 30 now) shipped herself all the way from Japan to their studio and joined the band. That was the girl playing the guitar on the cliffside. That's a basic summation of how the band formed but their story is _wild!_ I'm sure I got some of it wrong.
Recommendations: Rock the House, M1 A1, 19-2000, Last Living Souls, Kids With Guns, Dirty Harry, El Mañana, Dare, Rhinestone Eyes, Stylo, Superfast Jellyfish, Empire Ants, On Melancholy Hill, Plastic Beach, Doncamatic, Ascension, Strobelite, Saturnz Barz, Momentz, Hallejuah Money, We Got the Power, The Apprentice, Humility, Tranz, Strange Timez, The Valley of the Pagans, The Lost Chord, The Pink Phantom, Aries, Momentary Bliss, Désolé, Cracker Island, Oil, Silent Running, New Gold, Baby Queen, and Skinny Ape.
I recommend Clint Eastwood, DARE, El Mañana, Dirty Harry, 19-2000 and Stylo! Gorillaz does have lore-they even made a video where the characters show you around their place/Winnebago 😂 2D is the main blue-haired guy, Noodle is the girl on the floating island, Murdoc is the dude who needs to pull up his pants and Russel is the drummer :)
6:43 Yes they're still around. And there have been a number of years they've been on hiatus.
The girl playing guitar at the front of the windmill is the same little asian girl from Clint Eastwood. As the albums go on, she ages and changed styles and outfits.
I can happily and proudly say that I was from the generation to watch the first Gorillaz video "Tomorrow comes today" on MTV (when it was a good tv channel).
That was such a big change of music rythm while listening pop stars like Backstreet Boys and gods like Linkin Park!
COMING FROM THE GORILAZ FANDOM, THERE IS LORE! That was lore filled! Good job noticing!
they have another song El Mañana that's a direct sequel to this music video
💜🧡🩵 This is so nostalgic. I'm so glad that you are checking this out. I would totally have this play at my funeral.
You gotta should find the breakdown for the group. The dynamics of how the was made and what goes on behind the scenes with them is actually quiet, amazing. Even their promo stuff is on another level
There is lore for the Gorillaz within their videos and the characters each have a backstory
In the music videos there is a story about the Gorillaz & about their lore. If you boys enjoy this one please give Mystery Skulls music videos a watch too. Lot of head beats in those.
Billy told me to suggest for Gorillaz adjacent music Metronomy with their music video "She Wants."
I remember the very first time I watched MTV the part where 2D body spins around was the very first thing I saw, and ever since then I fell in love with Feel Good Inc and the Gorillaz
Most of Gorillaz music videos (and even some concerts) are animated / CGI. Beyond them the only other band i can think of is Daft Punk with i believe it was 3 or 4 videos for their "Discovery" album in the early 2000s. But between the G-Bytes (or G-Bites), their MTVs Cribs, and numerous other music videos the Gorillaz are THE animated band for the past twenty-three years. Tomorrow Comes Today, 19/2000, Rock da House, Clint Eastwood, Feel Good Inc, El Mana, Dare, Dirty Harry, Rock-It, Stylo, and so many others that it's hard to name them all. And at least two that were made by fans based off of animatics that never got turned into official videos like '5/4" and "Latin Simone". DVDs, Books, their "Live" show at the Euro MTV VMAs with this same song, commercials, just so much. This has consistently been one of my favorite bands for over twenty years.
I got introduced to them in Toonami's 2000 new year music video special which is how i got introduced to Daft Punk, and the CGI lunacy that was Crazy Frog "Axel F" video.
YOOOOO Gorillaz is my absolute favourite band/music!!! i would love to see u guys react to more of their stuff! big story/universe to learn about through music!
I feel like if they like Groillaz they should give Rare Americans a try. They also have some pretty good animated music videos. Especially Brittle Bones Nicky since there's rumors of that song becoming its own film too.
There is a cinematic universe. You can get the song lineup + A fan edited (they originally had it story boarded but never made) of Rhinestone Eyez.
I still remember my brother had a Gorillaz poster, and I never knew whaat it was, so I searched it up 3 years ago, and this is the first music that came up!
What a coincidence you were talking about it looking like early Cartoon Network. As one of their characters was canonically part of the Gorillaz for an entire music season. Ace from the PowerPuff Girls's Gangreen Gang replaced the gitarist while he was in prison.
This was the first song I heard from them a few years back. Been a fan since xD
yes basically most of the Gorillaz mvs are connected to a story according to the order of release. there is even lore outside of the music videos. its really fun to get into Gorillaz cause you're basically watching a full on movie about them through short clips.
YOOOO Ive been following gorillaz since literally their first album. The music videos were my favorite thing about them.
Theyre a collaborative band group that uses different artists except for 2D (The main singer in this song) but the actual music or rap artists are varied. There also IS a story and backgrounds for all the characters and it even explains stuff music wise (like the random rap bits in there songs. YES there is an actual in story reason for it) I would love to see more reactions to their vids from you guys because its so interesting and their music is so unique.
You guys have to watch their music video called "El Mañana", it's a direct sequel song to this one.
Yes, this does kind of tying to their cinematic universe. This continues in El mañana. And a little bit in every planet we reach is dead. continue the story about those helicopters and the band made that is on that island known as noodle, which then after that plot resolves is carried over into their third studio album, plastic beach, which has a lot more storyline than demon days
Alright I subscribed today for your movie reactions... and you delivered even something better! Reaction to one of my most beloved songs of all time ❤❤❤
Gorillaz are great, their lineup being animated does lead it to be a bit of a cinematic universe, Feel Good Inc being the prelude to band mate Noodle being ‘killed off’ (she wasn’t but she was briefly replaced by a cyborg copy)
Personally I like Clint Eastwood, 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix) and Dare. I like Rhinestone Eyes too that has a chill feeling tune.
The animated band are 2-D the singer, Murdock the bassist, Russell the drummer and Noodle the guitarist who was on the windmill island, they all have backstories too
Yes, Gorillaz actually has lore, which is told through their music videos, interviews and other stuff. Plus, each character that was playing an instrument in this video have lore/personalities/etc.
I've been watching a lot of music reacts lately. felt like a sorta stupid jumpscare when this came up on my search LMAO
There's a lore, if you want you can watch by the lore direction which is not much because you have to know the context but the whole explained lore it's a thing only a whole video about it can do
It's worth watching Gorillaz's music videos (especially from this era) in the order they were released. There's a loose continuity between the videos (for example, the video for "El Manana" is a direct sequel to this one). Gorillaz was always envisioned as both a musical and visual/film project, and they took this to the maximal extreme during the production of the videos for the albums "Demon Days" and "Plastic Beach."
It helps that both of these albums are legit among the best albums made in the 2000s. Just banger after banger from start to finish. And the "rock meets hip hop meets old West" vibe is like nothing else out there.
It's worth watching all videos in order and piecing together the story. My favorite is Rhinestone Eyes the fanmade MV is solid gold!
(At 4:11) Feel Good Inc. by the Gorillaz featuring De La Soul
Please react to more Gorillaz!! They are my favorite band and the videos are so great.
Oh hell yeah! I love this, please make this a series! 🙏🏾
I absolutely love Gorillaz and I hope you guys continue to react to their videos since they've been only getting better and better over the years. I also hope you guys check out their old "bits" which was like mini skits that they used to do and not to mention their show videos like the one in the make up room before a concert. Also when was someone gonna tell Sorta Stupid that Gorillaz did a music video with Jack Black? 😂
Also not to mention the pre band lore and the cinematic universe of music videos 😂
Clint Eastwood (as well as other early Gorillaz songs where Russel (the drummer) is possessed) has Del The Funky Homosapien as the rap artist collabing.
In case if anyone doesn’t know the band members names: 2-D( lead vocalist and keyboardist, blue hair), Murdoc ( bass guitarist and self proclaimed leader of the band, green skinned), Russell ( drummer and percussionist, black guy), and Noodle ( guitarist and occasional vocals). ( plus noodle’s birthday is soon).
Stilo, Tranz, Humility, Pink Phantom, are some newer ones or Dirty Harry, Rock the House, Tomorrow Comes Today, and 19-2000, are some older ones with music videos to react to. Also look into the history of the animated band because there is actual lore to the albums and characters. There are 4 original members (to the animated band) and a hilarious replacement during Murdoc's tough times. Also, pay attention to Noodle, because she literally grows up throughout the albums. She's the one on the floating island with the lighthouse.
What a coincidence that I just got back into Gorillaz currently so this video was a surprise XD I can assure you that the rest of the music/mvs are amazing and the fictional universe /lore behind the band is incredible too! cool video!
YES! Most of the music videos have a connected storyline! (And they also have an origin audiobook that’s pretty good)
Tranz, Strobelite, Clint Eastwood, Stylo, Dare, Humility and Sleeping Powder are my most favorite animations that go with the songs~
Every songs has their own flavour of vibes, bit still it makes sense in the Gorillaz "universe" :D
Hopefully we get more reactions...!!! ✨✨✨
Please, you have to listen to more Gorillaz songs, they have several very good ones and most importantly, they are different from each other. If they are from the same album they have similar nuances but still each song hits differently and are very VERY GOOD.
Some songs from the first albums are not star songs, but there are always particular sounds that just make them work, even if I don't like a song at first, it always happens to me that if I listen to it again I like it more and more. And that's what I love about Gorillaz, they have so many styles and still feel like Gorillaz, they are the only band that I can say that I like all their songs, remixes and collaborations.
Not to mention the history, drawing and style they have, which I find original, unique and iconic.
I would like to recommend all the songs but perhaps what works best is to react to the most iconic ones XD anyway you could do an album reaction in that case ;)
I really like your reactions and it made me happy that you heard and appreciated my favorite band
Some of their music videos do follow a storyline. 'El Manana is the follow-up to this if you ever feel like watching it.
A band that's very similar to Gorillaz that I really like is called "Studio Killers".
yes studio killers would be interesting
My first Gorillaz music video. I remember seeing this back in 2007 on MTV. (back when they mostly played music!) The nostalgia! 👍
Definitely got to watch the shorts of them
gorillaz had loads of awesome music videos. clint eastwood was their first, and is SUPER early 2000s. DARE, humilty, and saturnz bars are all super dope music videos i think you guys will love (the last two are also a lot more recent, so you can see what bonkers stuff you can do with animation nowadays)
I love Gorillaz 🦍! Please do more because I’ve heard many of their audio songs but hardly ever seen much of their music videos before as well as other Gorillaz lore videos on the origins of each band member and the band creation and other random stuff so yea haha.
YES there is a cinamatic universe and its constantly current and the storylines great and follows the actual people behind each person in gorillaz
NICE. Watching this and I literally have my two Noodle figures on my desk right here haha.
You guys are going to LOVE the Saturn Barz music video it made me fall in love with the band instantly
Gorillaz always feels like a safe pick whenever i want some nostalgic music to listen to. Helped that at the time i enjoyed the animation of their music videos.
As for a reccomendation, the music video for Kids by MGMT always comes to mind as a very unique music video. Plus the song is pretty catchy.
We reacting to music now? Cause I am so down for this, y’all are amazing keep doing amazing work
This was a surprise upload! A welcome surprise, but a surprise nonetheless!
Animation in music videos, you ask?
Gentlepeople of the Sorta Stupid Nation, may I recommend *Interstella 5555: The 5tory of the 5ecret 5tar 5ystem* . This is an animated musical combining the music of Daft Punk and animated by Toei Animation (which produces Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, and the 1984 Transformer series). If anyone recalls at least 3 animated music videos featuring blue-skinned humanoid aliens, that's what I'm talking about. I didn't realize it was a full "movie" a year or so later.
There was also the music video "Opposites Attract" by Paula Abdul, featuring MC Skat Kat. (1989 was a fun year.)
I’ve been wanting you guys to react to some music for a while lol was just thinking about you guys doing smth like this not that long ago lfg
Gorrilaz is always awesome. Saturnz Barz is a 360° viewable video which is crazy fun. I know RTJ has a 360° vid, too.
Watch 19-2000 and Clint Eastwood of Gorrillaz those are awesome songs too
Basically 2-D, Murdock and Russell were at the Inc and the one in the windmill was Noodle
they literally have an universe of every music video, they had a line where you can see the characters younger and slowly grow, a story that continue with the story of every character
please react to "El Mañana" is the next part of this one and conclude what happen with those helicopters and the flying windmill
Also, if you're looking for music recommendations, I highly suggest the latest underscores album, Wallsocket! It's an absolutely fantastic post-hyperpop concept album where each song is about the residents of a fictional town called Wallsocket, Michigan. There's only four music videos for the album but the entire thing is incredible. Huge fan of the 'Cops and Robbers' and the 'You don't even know who I am' music videos
Y'all should really watch all the Gorillaz music videos, it's an entire cinematic universe that passes time in real time. Characters age and grow with every passing album
Funny you mentioned the cgi megaphone against the 2d animation, because the character holding it, aka the singer, is actually named 2D
Theres a whole cinematic universe for them. They also had feature spots on Adult Swim.
also yes there is a Gorillaz cinematic universe, if i’m correct i think the El Manana music video comes directly after Feel Good Inc
Okay, now you guys totally have to react to more Gorillaz songs.
The characters are fun too. I love 2D (The main singer/one with blue hair). And Yes... there is a Gorillaz cinematic universe.
"Give me a whole movie like this bro."
I suppose you could move onto El Mañana since the video directly follows on from this one...
Seeing this song live during the humanz tour in 2016 was absolutely the best day of my life; the balcony was shaking so hard I thought I was gonna die.
I highly highly recommend a band called Good Kid, one of my favorite song from them would be "mimi's delivery service"
My favorite era of Gorillaz animations and music was Plastic Beach.
Daft punk's discovery album has a full 40-something minute animated movie 'music video'
gorillaz has been my top artist on spotify for 2 years and they’re so good. damon and jamie are so creative and their sound is super unique. i love you guys reacting to them
I LOVE Gorillaz! You guys should also check out their old MTV Cribs episode and also their other music videos throughout the years.
If you want to see what was next Gorrilaz track after Feel Good Inc. is "El Manana".
