I just ran across this scrolling through my feed and I love it haha, vibing to one of my favorites! They're definitely different and unique, and the features are always awesome. The bass line to this song always hits me different. Definitely love to see someone experience Gorillaz for the first time haha! They're an experience that's more versatile than most others for sure.

Gorillas is famous for a reason lol... It's funky and creative, relatable yet cryptic and it melds all sorts of sounds. Most of all, their videos are wild.

The characters Bass: The Madman himself Murdoc, Vocalist: The Smooth 2D, Guitar My fav crazy-girl Noodle, and on Drums: The Big Man himself Russle. The vids are hard to get in the right order but they tell The bands story and their rise to fame and fortune including many contributing artists from all music genres This also includes interviews on radio shows and music awards.It's a HELLUVA ride. Absolute Genius! And the actual members will shock you....yes go down that rabbit hole...***Starts humming Rock the Casbar***

[@captainKbobkeeshan]

I love how you react so positively to all the various genres and videos.

[@RobGamesOn]

Gorillaz are a virtual band started by the lead singer of Blur and the animator of some famous animes. The members are 2-D, the singer and keyboardist... Murdoc, the bassist... Russel, the drummer... and Noodle, the guitarist and background vocals and occasional lead vocals. 2-D lost both of his eyes due to incidents caused by Murdoc. Murdoc is a bully/asshole and bosses 2-D around. They are both British. Russel is a hip-hop drummer from L.A. who is possessed by his dead friend, Del the Funky Homosapian, who you'll meet in the song "Clint Eastwood". Noodle is a Japanese girl who joined the band when she was FedEx shipped in a box to Murdoc's home when she was 10. She's the one on the windmill island playing the guitar in the video. To hear her lead vocals, check out: "19-2000 (Soul Child Remix)" where she sings the chorus. "Dare" where she sings the verses. Also check out "Strobelight" which is a very cool song by them.

[@Faybian1000]

'Dare' by the Gorrillaz is a funky tune I highly recommend. Gorrilaz are an amazing concept band - a collaboration between Damon Albarn (of 90s band Blur) and comic artist Jamie Hewlett. The cartoons are the band members. The only human faces you see in their mazing videos are those of other musicians they work with on songs ❤

They are one off the few virtual bands they do this so people focus on the music more

[@jamessowder193]

Music is becoming more virtual every day. I miss the real bands from the 60's to the 90's. I listen to mostly rap though. Good shit though. Pac, Rittz, Tech, Em, Cole, good rappers, bars. No mumble shit 😂. Honestly I like everything though. Older music that actually played instruments. That shit is amazing! Like Pink Floyd Comfortably Numb (Pulse Live)! Tell me that isn't the best guitar solo on the planet ever! Bands like Sublime, Metallica, Led Zeppelin ,Linkin Park, they can go on stage and actually replicate their music with talent and instruments. Almost everything is digital nowadays. What people perceive as talent nowadays is just recorded as a digital track.

[@ToomStoneMedia]

The high pitch lyrics at the start are him saying "Feel good" over and over. They make all kinds of music. So if you are looking for something different, Gorillaz are definitely the band for you. If you decide to go further, then definitely check these Gorillaz songs - Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry, Tomorrow Comes Today.

When the Gorillaz came out the membership was a secret. The band was the cartoon characters. They even played live behind a screen. But the music is largely the work of the singer from the Britpop band Blur. The only other constant member is the cartoonist behind Tank Girl. The non-cartoons are guest rappers.

[@VerchielxKanda]

I definitely recommend El Manana. It's a small continuation to this video about Noodle, the one on the windmill island. =)

[@Tul-rak]

I love how everyone's first time hearing this is thinking that it's a song about feeling good, when the story in this song is actually about criticizing the entertainment industry (the "feel good inc"), how it tries to keep people trapped in a constant loop of booze, drugs and partying telling them that it's the way to feel good, cutting them off from everything meaningful in life. The singer is just repeating to himself "feel good" when he's actually sad and when he starts dreaming of love and a simpler life, the guys start rapping to bring him back in, so he robotically moves away from his dreams back to partying. In the end he's trapped, his dreams are crushed and the entertainment industry is laughing at him.

@@zulphaesau4266 way to take a comment on the meaning of the song way too personal, my bud

[@BoxOKittens]

Agreed. Pretty sure in an interview after this video came out the band themselves said this was the meaning. To be so wrapped up in your vices that you end up trapped and made captive by them. 2D has realised this and wants to escape, but sadly in the end he is unable to. Even over ten years later this video is still a powerhouse.

[@mokane86]

Basically the song is from the perspective of a celebrity trapped in the world of fame and instant gratification yearning to escape to something simpler. Most of us were introduced to them through their song Clint Eastwood.

The Gorillaz are a virtual band. 2D is the vocalist, then you have Russel on drums. Noodle was the girl playing guitar on the windmill island. And Murdoc was the other guitarist. Their whole backstory is bananas and worth looking into. Clint Eastwood and Dare are two song of theirs you should check out. And as others said, the rappers were De La Soul. Just guest musicians, not actual band members.
