Gorillaz for Coachella '09

[JSam67]

I rewatched the Demon Days DVD recently and, well, I just need to see a Gorillaz performance at the Polo Fields this year. It's been widely discussed that a Gorillaz --> Outkast combo would be beyond amazing (and it would), but I think it's time to separate the two and put some focus on Gorillaz to keep up with the Outkast chatter.

Damon has got to be in the Gorillaz mindset with that Monkey: Journey to the West project, so I think it's at least within the realm of possibility. Make it happen, GV!

What say you, message board?

[PassiveTheory]

They could headline Friday.

[drowningmatt]

They could? They will!

[shakermaker113]

no. if it was going to happen, it would have happened in 2006, when gorillaz were active. they haven't been active for two years. there's some film project, and there's a gorillaz sound system project that nobody really knows anything about at the moment. but nothing like the demon days live shows. that's over.

[blobby1]

That could be a fantastic performance...Now if they could just get Lou Reed to open for David Bowie, and Outkast that would make my weekend.

[Memorial_07]

co-headline Saturday.

I'm hoping for them next year!

Theyre playing Global Gathering

[boarderwoozel3]

Gorillaz headlining a night would be wholly acceptable.

Didn't one of the group members have some legal trouble in the past few years? Jail time?

[shakermaker113]

Theyre playing Global Gathering

that's gorillaz sound system.

[frozen pilgrim]

people keep saying 'gorillaz'.

WHICH gorillaz?
every song is a different lineup.

I'd love to see everyone.
every song off of both main studio albums. roger waters style- in front of a monolithic screen with cartoons of everyone. they could even perform behind black mesh if damon wants to. I just want to hear those songs over the main stage sound system.

that's a bit of an exaggeration. but there is a lack of a core group. Damon & Jamie are the only consistencies, as far as I know. perhaps there are a few others.

[frozen pilgrim]

jamie wasn't a constant on the second album.
at any rate, thinking about it, I'd love to see damon take the good the bad and the queen, bring them back, and then have them start doing gorillaz songs. if ANYONE can get the deep-as-fuck bass tones off the first two gorillaz albums just right, it's paul simonon

[amyzzz]

I'm for it.

[shakermaker113]

jamie wasn't a constant on the second album.

if by "wasn't a constant" you mean he didn't do all the artwork single handedly, then you're right. I don't think he did it single handedly for the first album either.

if you mean he didn't participate, then you're wrong. he's always been involved.

[superfiction]

the music was damon and dan the automator for the first disc and danger mouse was his main creative associate for the second one.

[frozen pilgrim]

yeah. I mean jamie wasn't as involved in the conceptual stuff on the songs. it was less 'their' pet project at that stage.
I'd love tGtBatQ, with dan the automator, del the funky homosapien, and danger mouse all there. a hybrid tGtBatQ/Gorillaz set.

[shakermaker113]

eh... until Gorillaz has new material, I don't see the point of anyone trying to do a Gorillaz performance. the best we're going to get is a Deltron performance when that new album is out. (is that still on the cards?) though I've heard that Del does Clint Eastwood at some of his solo shows.

[sbessiso]

there's a Demon Days DVD???

[woogie846]

I'd want to see them, but I really hope they don't headline.

[sbessiso]

outkast is the headliner woogie, remember? Gorillaz is a solid sub

[shakermaker113]

there's a Demon Days DVD???

yup. it's damn good too. one of the live shows they did in manchester, the whole album start to finish, live, including all guests except doom and dennis hopper.

[sbessiso]

Damn dude, I gotta get my hands on this!

Concert DVD's I've been needing to get!
Stop Making Sense-Talking Heads
Coachella DVD
now add Gorillaz Demon Days DVD

what else am I missing?

muse's recent dvd is also worthwhile.

and the flaming lips' "ufos at the zoo" captures every bit of magnificence they create in their live show.

[frozen pilgrim]

there's a Demon Days DVD???

to be one hundred percent honest, I really prefer the album.
it's just... not as perfect as I'd hoped, y'know?
if you've got twenty bucks for a concert dvd, if you don't yet own the david gilmour: remember that night dvd, it's totally worth it. so so so amazing, and such an unbelievable lineup of guests.

[algunz]

I'd love to see this, but I don't see them headlining.

[jazzz]

Gorillaz would be amazing with a all-star line up including TERRY HALL

[frozen pilgrim]

really? I dunno maybe it's a canadian thing, but every single person I know has heard of the gorillaz. my parents, my friends parents, ex teachers, homeless people, bus drivers, airport baggage handlers, doctors, lawyers, CBC employees... fucking EVERYONE.
and what's even more interesting is not one of them has ever specifically disliked them. the worst reaction the gorillaz ever receive from an individual is indifference.
anyways. I'm alll for gorillaz in 09

[indietron]

Has anybody seen A Skin, A Night? It is the National's DVD directed by Vincent Moon...

[rage patton]

I would love see Gorillaz. I definately think they could pull off a headlining gig.
