Gorillaz Pointers

[garethslee]

Know next to nothing about them.

Any pointers to what I need to listen to get an idea if what they're about?

Expect this:

[Icewulf]

They'll definitely play Clint Eastwood.

Look up Dare, Clint Eastwood, Stylo, Feel Good Inc., 19-2000, Dirty Harry, Tomorrow Comes Today...

[In transit]

There are three albums, I'd concentrate on Plastic Beach as that is what the current tour and tour guests is set up for. But obviously listen to the other two and particularly all the singles.

[fantomas]

I liked this on Jools Holland:

[c1-more]

Yeh they play Clint Eastwood. They played it on Jonathon Ross show the other night with Tinnie Tempah rapping. Sounded good.

[Wanderlei]

The Gorillaz will be a great live act to see. A very cool replacement under the circumstances.

Think they'll do any Blur/Clash covers being as it's Glasto?

[titusbungle]

Can't find anything I particularly like

Why couldn't it have been Coldplay?!

[fowls]

This is likely to be the setlist (or at least is something similar)

Fowls is right on the money. I'd expect/hope for a couple of surprises thrown in there too as they are there as collaborators.

[lac999]

Start off with the most famous singles from the first 2 albums:

Clint Eastwood

19/2000

Dirty Harry

Feel Good Inc

DARE

Then move onto their incredible new album (Plastic Beach), it takes a few listens but is well worth the effort.

After that if you've got the time give the 2nd album (Demon Days) a listen or 5 and then you should be just about set.

That is the Coachella setlist, not sure I'd be entirely happy, no DARE?

[FloorFiller]

The Coachella setlist won't be representative because the volcano ash prevented a lot of the guests from making it to the show, hence no DARE.

[fowls]

aye the other songs only have small guest parts, whereas Dare is entirely sung by guetss so it would've been pretty crappy to just have Damon bouncing about on the stage whilst a backing track played

they've played it at their other shows (i think) so i reckon we'll get it

Edited May 26, 2010 by fowls

[FloorFiller]

They can play Dare without guests. On the rehearsal tour Damon sang the girls part and Ryder's part was on backing track. I actually preferred it that way tbh.

[c1-more]

Can't see them doing any covers although I would love to hear a Gorillaz version of London Calling.
