I love Gorillaz. The lore is bonkers as hell, but I love it all the same. My favorite bandmembers are Murdoc and 2-D, and apparently I'm in the majority.

[@EbbAndArt]

Ok

[@random_vidz9229]

Well said.

[@Bugoodo]

Me too

[@KiikiCali1]

My lestfavourite is noodle

[@GDFR11]

This is probably the best Gorillaz lore explanation video i have seen yet! I'm excited to see the further phases explained :)

[@SelfTitled76]

Thank you! That means a lot! The next video should be coming soon!

[@joeferri3491]

@@SelfTitled76 Dude you're full lore video was the most descriptive and well explained lore video I've ever watched. I can't wait to see your video on Phase 8 when it comes out.

[@jazzman3196]

Usually I never comment, but finding any piece of gorillaz lore or information, ESPECIALLY from phase 1 is SO INCREDIBLY HARD TO FIND. You have to look at articles, online blogs, hidden KZbin videos, links etc etc. it’s crazy, but seeing phase 1 be focused on 1 VIDEO ON ITS OWN? I applaud, I barely got into gorillaz officially a couple months ago and I love it so much, but man I wish accessing all this information and lore and facts was easier so thank you so much dude

[@jazzman3196]

I would ask tho where’d you get the audio from when murdoc strangles 2d in the hotel? Was it apart of an interview or smth?

[@blairblue6769]

@@jazzman3196yeah it was an interview! i believe it was the one released before plastic beach, but i cant remember which one specifically.

[@SelfTitled76]

It’s the iTunes Interview :)

[@SelfTitled76]

Thank you so much! It’s comments like this that make me excited to make future installments :)

[@DeluxeDietCoke]

I think this is the most informative gorillaz lore video I've seen We will be seated

[@serpentartist1348]

Awesome work. I love the Gorillaz lore in all its insanity, but it’s spread out across so many different places. This video touched on things I hadn’t even heard of, so good on you for catching all those details

[@TheMegaGamingWizard]

RIP Jane Birkin she just died this month...she made 2-D feel funny in his nether regions and pink bits yeah

[@liamations6918]

Tony Chopper, huh sounds like a familiar reindeer from a familiar pirate crew…

[@optamellow]

this is genuinely so well made, I always thought phase 1 was the coolest (and most interesting) phase

[@imaltheia]

wow i didn't know most of this! take a shot everytime murdoc gets his nose broken 😵‍💫

[@MikaTarkela]

I don't know how to feel about the lore. I'm so confused lol.

[@friendnancy]

very good video! very informative and taught me a bunch of stuff i didn’t know!!! thank you mr. self titled productions!!!!

[@Albino3945]

Ik this is rlly mean,but when i saw murdoc's dad,without thinking i said "EW WTF"and ive been laughing for too long

[@marcusblackwell2372]

I listen to Gorillaz for the lore

[@europeanwildcat]

I've been trying to find explanations of the lore for YEARS, but it's so spread out everywhere that nothing has managed to be satisfactory. I believe I may have hit the gold mine here though. 👀

[@SelfTitled76]

Glad I can be of service 🫡

[@DG-er1wt]

better do all 7 now, I'm subbed foer it an drunk

[@jazzylou8555]

How do you know this😭I’ve tried to understand the lore but the MVs don’t explain shit

[@SelfTitled76]

They released an autobiography called Rise of the Ogre!

[@ElkiaStellar]

This was amazing! can't wait for the second phase!

[@SelfTitled76]

Thank you! It'll be coming soon!

[@Orchids-_-]

@@SelfTitled76 when is the second phase gonna come it’s been seven days dude?

[@SelfTitled76]

@@Orchids-_- Well.. these videos take a loooong time to make, plus I’m working on two other videos at the same time to add variety and to hold you guys over during the wait. But don’t worry, I’m working on it and it’ll be out soon :)

[@Orchids-_-]

@@SelfTitled76 ok I get it

[@NoahEbalon_4362]

Only a matter of time until we get a phase 8

[@screwnii3852]

It's funny that if it were in real life, Murdoc would literally be 60.

[@gr4vycat]

Live laugh love gorillaz

[@augustomartinez4371]

November 27, 2000. And clint eastwood reached #4

[@fisherwoman3611]

Just a little correction here, wasn't Ghost Train made when Paula was still in the band? I remember it was a fact that she was, but I don't know, I might be wrong

[@nyoaeuikhoudu]

Personally, Noodle and Russle are my favourites!

[@Wallish-q3n]

Me and Stewart have so much in common, we both sing and play the pianos, we both always need the toilet, we both have bad eyesight.

4:45 I am sorry for being that guy but, wasn't 2-D working in a keyboard shop at that time?

[@SelfTitled76]

That is a keyboard shop lol

[@excitablepack7076]

[@SelfTitled76]

[@BMONCHAMP242C]

I didn't know that 2-d's name meant 2 dents. I mean I knew he had the name for a reason but ow!

[@SelfTitled76]

Definitely not because he’s a 2 dimensional drawing 😂 but yeah it is sad :(

[@PridetakerDC]
