First Time Hearing Gorillaz - Clint Eastwood (Reaction!)

[@Nickel138]

Del the Funky Homosapien was the rapper (Cube’s cousin), but he raps as a character in this video. His freestyles are fire. Check out the legendary group he was a part of, The Hieroglyphics. “Classic” or “You Never Knew” are both amazing songs. As well, Deltron 3030 songs “3030” or “Things you can do” are both fire. You won’t regret it. Even if you don’t react to it, you need some Del in your life.

Del (Ice Cube's cousin) is a super talented rapper, so for fun, he wrote this song using a book called How To Write a Hit Song. He framed the platinum record with the book and it's hanging in his mom's house.

Clint Eastwood is a famous Hollywood actor. The lead singer is the lead singer in the band “Blur”.

[@Justin-pv3xq]

Fun fact: Gorillaz actually shaped a lot of us millennials. Their music was something new and unique, I was just a kid when they released their first album and honestly I can't think of too many people that can even compare. There are a lot of great artists out there who who have definitely revolutionized music but it was the Gorillaz who truly did something new. They were able to combine all these different genres into its own new genre and it fucking slaps.

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

Gorillaz songs: "Stylo" (original video stars actor Bruce Willis❤); and "Dare". Both great songs you'll love!

[@hanacreel84]

So the guy who does the hook is named Damien Albern and he's also the lead singer of the famous British band Blur. They are most famously known for their song 'Song 2' which has been played in stadiums and arenas around the world. Check it out!

Clint Eastwood is a legendary Actor, Director and producer with 4 Academy Awards, (Oscars), to his name. You seriously need to check out his movies. He's acted in at least 55 movies and directed at least 40. Some he does both. The strange noises at the beginning of the song was a reference to one of his early films called "The Good, The Bad and the Ugly". Its the background music for the final dual scene.

[@jamessowder193]

It blew my mind when you said he didn't know who Clint Eastwood was! I was stuck on stupid for a second 🥴

Gorillas really have some good music. This is one of my favorites. Along with Feel good Inc. and Saturns Bars.

You had to of heard of Clint Eastwood at some point. He’s a legend

[@argantyr5154]

I'm convinced he have, but not in the context of Music, so it can be difficult to connect Clint Eastwood with this Song.

[@josephblough7509]

Clint Eastwood is an American actor, director, producer, composer, and politician. He has over 70 acting credits, 50 production credits, and has directed over 45 films. Some of his notable works include Gran Torino, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby, and The Bridges of Madison County. He rose to international fame with his role as the Man with No Name in Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone's trilogy of spaghetti Westerns.

[@mattblatchley2061]

that beginning screaming tune was taken from a Clint Eastwood movie called "The Good The Bad and the Ugly" it's the opening theme song...1960's western movie made in Italy...a "Spaghetti Western" pull it up on KZbin real quick..it's pretty cool

The song is named after the actor Clint Eastwood due to the song's similarity to the theme music of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, starring the actor Clint Eastwood.

You love some bass and you appreciate guitar, but most importantly, you don't take yourself too seriously. Therefore, I conclude you can handle Primus. I won't say you're ready; no one is ready for Primus. But I believe you will have a BLAST with them. Please check them out.

Clint Easteood is an actor, not a member of the band. Not sure if you caught the Michael Jackson Thriller video reference in the middle, when the gorrillas were dancing. Might want to watch Michael Jackson's video next.

I'm glad you liked this song. This will be a modern-day classic, I won't beat a dead horse about Clint Eastwood, but the man is king of the spaghetti western.

The film(s) I know Clint Eastwood the best is the Magnum Force movies. I’m sure there’s other films I’ve seen that he stared in but the Magnum Force movies is just where I know him best from. Apparently, they named this song after Clint Eastwood because of a movie he was in. That movie was “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”. They say this song sounds similar to the theme song of that movie. I listened to it and the only part that sounds similar is the beginning of this song. The part where it’s just a black screen and has “Gorillaz” in red letters. Other than that, I don’t hear and resemblance.

"Feel Good Inc" by Gorillaz!!

[@robindude8187]

Clint Eastwood is an actor, producer, etc. He's partly famous for doing a bunch of westerns (as well as Dirty Harry and others, but those aren't relevant here). The opening few moments of music are a modernized version of sounds associated with his western movies, specifically "The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly". kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqoi3p-mNpme5osi=NunWOqkYwXpAZMFw&t=13 ^---linked to the right moment to hear it. Compare the above with the opening few seconds of the Gorillaz song. Very similar. The title of the song comes from that... _and_ from a Jamaican reggae artist the band heard about while recording in Jamaica who was _also_ named Clint Eastwood.

Hey Shon, I thought I'd drop off another new band for you to give a listen, if interested. *"Bad Company - Feel Like Makin' Love"* (by the channel: Music For You) the video quality is pretty decent. This is a power ballad and this song is a track off the album called "Straight Shooter" and became "Bad Company's" second Top 10 hit in the US and Top 20 hit in the UK. Lead vocalist Paul Rodgers wrote the song. Take care and hope you have a great day

[@CBGB_1977]
