No, I haven't been reading the boards.

A buddy of mine from So. Cal FM station K.R.O.Q brought it up to me. He hears a lot of things-"word on the street"

Good Night

lol does word on the street just refer to what shows up on here. cause that's what it seems like where most rumors come from. and gorillaz>blur

If Blur got back together and played Coachella there is no way they'd play the Outdoor Stage. A Blur reunion would be borderline headliner-worthy, more likely they'd get the Portishead spot on the main stage on Saturday night before the headliner, but I think they could headline Friday night if it came down to it. I've never really been able to fully embrace Gorillaz, but Blur has always been one of my favorite bands. I would love to see this happen.

I stopped listening to Blur after the 2003 performance....I didn't know Damon was sick until later...

starrdogg · 11-09-2008, 09:00 AM

This talks about the Blur reunion more in depth: http://www.nme.com/news/blur/40885

Sounds like it's going to happen eventually, but with Albarn working on the new Gorillaz album right now it seems pretty doubtful for Coachella 2009. Maybe 2010?

TeamCoachellaHellYeah · 11-09-2008, 09:10 AM

I think a Blur reunion is a no go next year consider it seems like Gorillaz have a lock..

Gonshman · 11-09-2008, 09:54 AM

If Blur does reunite they won't be ready in time for Coachella. Let the Gorillaz take their spot

Blinken · 11-09-2008, 09:56 AM

Gorillaz FTW

It's hard to say one is better than the other because they're so different. I love them both and would be extremely pleased with either.

MeowMixer · 11-09-2008, 11:14 AM

I love blur. Very meaningful music for me.

woogie846 · 11-09-2008, 11:14 AM

Gorillaz are coming out with a new album, Blur wouldn't be ready in time.

karma_guy · 11-09-2008, 11:25 AM

maby i'm crazy buuuut
is there a chance we could have BOTH gorillaz and blur?
maby like on different days, like gorillaz on friday and blur on saturday?
also i can't see blur headlining, maby a sub headliner?

l337moomoo · 11-09-2008, 11:52 AM

Gorillaazzzzz plzzzzzzz

futureperfect · 11-09-2008, 12:47 PM

I would love to have Blur reunite. Id like to have Gorillaz too but the problem with Gorillaz is would the delivery of the stage show be accessible and enjoyable. I enjoy both Gorillaz cds and the remix ones but I would not want to suffer a stage show that would not capture the uniqueness and electricity of one of the worlds most popular imaginary bands.

rage patton · 11-09-2008, 01:57 PM

paulb · 11-09-2008, 02:45 PM

Sushov23 · 11-09-2008, 02:52 PM

it would be cool having the gorillaz play, but not headlining. people thinking they could headline are insane.

Gonshman · 11-09-2008, 03:14 PM

When was the last time that Gorillaz toured?

That's why the sub-headline before OutKast comes on!

Quality over quantity, that's how. Don't get me wrong, I love Blur, in fact I love all of Albarn's works. But Blur will never be as big as Gorillaz is now. Gorillaz appeals to a much more widespread audience than Blur because of it's uniqueness and new sound.

It's like Death Cab and the Postal Service. Death Cab has had tons of albums but they still quite haven't hit that that status that Postal Service did even though they have the same singer.

Does anyone get what I'm trying to say?
