Nope, not going. :wacky:

Oh don't be silly! :whip:

 

You must think I'm very selfish then always busting in here with my random fangirl outbursts about the shows lol

Is it true that they were charging £45 (before fees) for each ticket for their UK tour?

I have no idea (my flag says UK but I actually live in america :curtain:)

 

UK peeps?

 

 

 

Did you all hear about John Lydon (Johnny Rotten from the Sex Pistols) giving it to Gorillaz? :lol: This dude is a joke, he runs his mouth off about everyone. I heard Damon even invited him to record a Gorillaz song back in the past and he told him off. He didn't have many nice things to say about Damon. Sounds more like he just has something personal against him, and probably the fact that Damon has 1/2 of The Clash in his band doesn't help much either.

Punk veteran says music is a 'melange of shit' these days

 

John Lydon has branded Gorillaz "shit", saying Damon Albarn's band are not original enough.

 

Lydon made his point in a video interview with NME shortly before taking to the stage at the Benicàssim International Festival with Public Image Ltd. Watch the interview on the right of your screen now.

 

Lydon admitted he was feeling nervous ahead of his performance, and as a result did not want to dwell on other bands.

 

"I really don't wanna talk about shit like the Gorillaz, you know what I mean?" he explained. "Come on, I'm the originator – don't toss us with that."

 

Lydon added: "I think there's less original talent now than 30 years ago. It's much more manufactured. And the shame is I opened so many doors for so many people and they've all foolishly slammed it behind them. so what you get now is a melange of shit."

Just because it's not punk it doesn't mean it's shit. Liz is probably right, seems like Lydon's got something personal against Damon/Gorillaz.

 

 

 

And yeah, the tickets cost 45 pounds / €60 without fees.

Oh my god, I just watched the video

 

lmao... poor bitter old Johnny Rotten "i've opened so many doors for people and they've slammed it in my face"

he really does think that because he "invented punk" he is the god of music and everything else is shit.

The guy who was supposed to be for Glitter Freeze or something right? Either Glitter Freeze or some other song. :thinking:

 

I think that anyone shouldn't call any music shit, there should at least be a level of respect among musicians and also among fans when it comes to music.

If there is a kind of music that is shit, then why is it even in the music world, why not in the toilet? (Yeah, sounds lame, but seriously)

 

 

Let people think what they want to think about Gorillaz; I STILL LOVE GORILLAZ.

/stubborn fangirl.

I can't believe this, I'm going to see them in London on one date after all :lol:

 

I mean I was holding out for finding some tickets at a later date, then I kinda gave up on it for a while. Then I found out only yesterday my mum went and bought me some in secret, for a birthday present :lol:

 

Sorry to be all selfish for a moment there, I'm just so happy and surprised and excited :D :wacky:

 

So Liz you are going to try get tickets, who else in here is planning on seeing them this tour?

Oooh I'm so happy for you!! Your mum is amazing :wacko:

 

And I'm seeing them too! When is your show?

4 coldplayers going!

How sad, and I agree with things that have been said in here, that its all about himself, and the music he produces, and the bands that fall in that category or whatever. How can he call Gorillaz not original enough? Fair enough he can dislike the music, but no need to go on about it, its just his opinion, not a universal statement about them.

 

 

Oooh I'm so happy for you!! Your mum is amazing :wacko:

 

And I'm seeing them too! When is your show?

 

Very nice! :D In November, how about yours?

:wacky:

dayum boi get yo eyes off her boobies :whip:

 

(on a side note. Paul & Cass are looking mighty lovely too)

They all look so sexy here, especially Dames and Cass, its a shame he's hidden on stage behind the drums :wideeyed:

DAMON LOOKS AMAZING. :freak:

Cass is adorable :charming:

 

 

 

 

 

^ (is that a little anchor tattoo? hahahaha way to go all out on the nautical theme, Cass)

 

all stolen from the Gorillaz forum. the fangirlin' be rampant over there!

I'M WATCHING A GIG RIGHT NOW. SO GREAT AND AWESOME.

It was on french tv. I think it's the gig in London in 2006 but I don't really, nothing was told. I just know that it was a few years ago because it was their demon days tour. If you know what gig exactly is, tell me. :nice:

Tickets! :dance: Yeah they're pricey bit I guess it's worth it.

 

you don't even know! my friends ticket was $350.

I was lucky, mine was only around $200.

:blank:

 

the prices of these make me think this seat better be on Damon's lap!

Oh awesome! I'm not sure what gig that would of be though.

The Demon Days shows were pretty amazing too.

I looked on wiki and it was probably the one in London 2006. God this gig was amazing, there were almost 20 musicians on stage. I want to see them now. But I don't know if it will be amazing with the last album because demon days is my favourite and I saw setlist of the last tour and it's not really awesome.

WHAT. :shocked2: How come they were that much? Do you think it's because of the pre-sale? I do hope your seat is close to the stage.

I think it is because of the presale. But also ticketmaster is a rip off. We go through a lot of shit with big ticket companies in the US.

 

My seat is the 2nd row. I know I shouldn't complain, but I'm going to be pissed if during the general sale the release GA pit tickets too. Sometimes ticketmaster and livenation do that shit to make you do the presale and then release better tix later on. Sometimes they don't though. If they do, I might buy one of those and try to sell this ticket. I know I sound retarded. But GA pit is the BEST. And Damon and them never comes to America so it might be the only chance I get to see them in a really long time

That's unfair. Hopefully the venue isn't be big and that ticketmaster won't do that. It's kind of weird you weren't able to choose what kind of ticket you wanted. :blank: Keep on checking the Gorillaz forum, there probably will post somebody who'll want to have a ticket (in case you do buy a GA one in the general sale).

Well during presales, ticketmaster gives you a ticket saying it's the best one they can find at that moment. During general sale, you can pick. Maybe I should of waited but a lot of other Blur/Gorillaz fans I was talking to were making me nervous about waiting till the general sale. Idk. ugh. Stresssss.
