Gorillaz - Times Magazine Interview

[@voiceofthelegion578]

I wonder how much of Gorillaz has turned into lost media that we don't even know about. I guess that's just an inherent problem to a project like this.

[@daftereverafter1648]

Yeah. I’m really grateful for the people who are able to help resurface some of it

[@voiceofthelegion578]

@@daftereverafter1648 Same, but I wish the creators had made more of an effort to save a lot of this stuff themselves.

[@user-th2us6ff6m]

I got into Gorillaz in Phase 4 and remembered going through like 40+ videos of interviews on KZbin. Came back a bit for The Now Now and I felt like the numbers were significantly less. There's the 11 minute video of Murdoc + 2D puppets that's no longer available. I can't imagine how much has been lost before I even got here

8:51-9:00 my favorite part is where they all laugh. Just something so pure about Murdocs laugh. It makes me smile

[@tiramisucoffee]

This is my favourite interview cause firstly; Murdoc is sober and we all know sober Murdoc is the best. Murdoc being the cool uncle like he is. Secondly, Murdoc is not bullying 2D. Murdoc even helped him through out the interview. 3:37 and 4:10 Thirdly, the chemistry in this interview is so adorable even though they almost break their character. But it sounds natural! I LOVE THEIR LAUGHTER ESPECIALLY

[@Strawberry_Cinnabon]

[@hanakosan4404]

I had never heard this interview before and this was honestly the best one. You can tell it wasn't scripted and it really feels like 2D and Murdoc being their random selves and they all seem to have genuine fun along with the interviewer. Thank you so much for uploading this gem!

[@frillianpuspadewi5825]

I've never heard about this one before! Thank you so much for uploading this interview! It is so nice to hear the real interactions between the interviewer with 2-D and Murdoc (not like the iTunes Session interview), they almost breaking out of their character several times, and it is great to hear the interviewer is too overwhelmed to control his laugh and keep them on the track.

Murdoc is a terrible singer, isn't he?

[@carlycarmine3858]

Yes, and he makes weird noises a lot

[@ayumiishida5862]

When did this happen, exactly? I mean, if Demon Days was released, then it means that the "El Mañana" was already out, so Noodle had already disappeared, and 2-D and Russel went their own ways right after that, if I'm not wrong I'm still have to catch up a bit on the lore, so I'm just asking

[@cupboardgnome]

I’m no lore expert but judging by how they talk about ROTO (rise of the ogre) in this interview, means it’s been released. I’ve read ROTO and it details the El Mañana incident, so by the time this interview started - Noodle had disappeared. 2D and Russel do leave after El Mañana, so as for how this interview fits lore-wise, I can’t really answer that. Given this interview is improv, I don’t think much thought was really put into it lore-wise. Also, just a tip, the music videos don’t coincide with the date the album itself is released. The music videos are only shot after the album’s released, mostly. Again - I’m not a lore expert, but I’d recommend giving ROTO a read if you haven’t already

[@ayumiishida5862]

@@cupboardgnome Thank you very much! I have to read it some time

@@ayumiishida5862 No prob! Just thought I’d give you a heads up if you do read it though, it’s got some edgy stuff in it (not a lot but it’s still there) so do watch out for that. Different times an all Have a nice day

Tbh this interview came out way before Plastic Beach was conceived, so it was kind of up in the air if there was ever going to be another Gorillaz album after Demon Days. The interview aired around October 2006 to promote Rise Of The Ogre, so yeah things were kind of on a cliffhanger for the project at this point.
