I can't wait! :bomb::bomb: I hope I will be around to watch it. It looks good! :bomb:

Putting this in here too... I asked Jeff last week what it was like to work with both Damon and Liam... look at his response DM hahahaahahah! :lol:

 

Gorillaz lost against Paramore in the Best Alternative category.

 

That's ridiculous, how does Paramore fit in the "alternative" anyway?

 

I prefered when MTV chose the winners. Those were some good times

Seriously!!! Hell I remember when they did on The Grammys before it turned into the 'Taylor Swift Sympathy Awards' last year! Its all about popularity vs true talent and creativity-and as Damon would say, it's pretty much gonna kill us all.

Lol Paramore, they performed here. I suppose they aren't that bad, aren't amazing either, imo.

 

AND HAHHAHAAHAHAH TAYLOR SWIFT SYMPATHY AWARDS :laugh3: Nice one, Shani!

Pssst. I don't see Paramore as terrible, they are ok for me, but not especially amazing. I like the lead girls voice.

Some new info:

 

-It seems that they will going to continue performing at festivals by 2011, at least some inside sources tell that.

 

Got a question: when was the VEVO thing again? Completely forget about it.

Ohhh :sneaky: Maybe that'll be our chance to see them!

Awesome! Anything new? :wacko:

 

TOTALLY GOING!! WOOOOOOO! :cool:

Cos I left it so late I don't have standing tix in the front section... but still! :awesome:

I am really hoping for a live slice of DONCAMATIC when they play here in December. It's bloody good.

TOTALLY GOING!! WOOOOOOO! :cool:

Cos I left it so late I don't have standing tix in the front section... but still! :awesome:

 

I'll tell you what it was like :P

YAY!! You guys are gonna be blown away with epic-ness :bomb:

I'll tell you what it was like :P

 

Haha, thanks :dozey:

 

I'M SO EXCITED NOW :awesome:

Guys, look at this image i found at G-U:

 

 

G-U is going to make an interview with Jamie during the UK Tour, so maybe they'll actually show him the picture xD.

 

Oh, let's put some news, shall we? Here are some things Damon said on a recent interview with NME:

 

- he says he wants to try and put out the 'tour album', recorded during the North American tour, before Christmas

- he found out about Daley because Nelson De Freitas (voice of 2D) played him and his partner a clip of Daley doing a session, when he was round their house once, and his partner then got very interested in Daley's music.

- EMI pressured Gorillaz to release Plastic Beach by the end of the financial year 2009/2010, before they felt it was ready.

- Neneh Cherry is going to guest with Gorillaz on some Euro tourdates

Putting this in here too... I asked Jeff last week what it was like to work with both Damon and Liam... look at his response DM hahahaahahah! :lol:

Busy man indeed. :mellow: Thanks for posting this!

I posted this in the Damon Albarn thread as well, but I suppose it's more appropriate here!

 

First off, so as not to leave you in suspense - I didn't get to meet anyone, unfortunately. I just had to go. I was hoping maybe to meet them beforehand, but it wasn't to be! I'm sure I'll have other chances .

 

The concert was just unbelievable. I was so moved so many times.

I'm just gonna recall the bits I can remember now that really stood out.

 

We got down the front - around 3 rows of people away from the barrier - more on that later.

 

First of all - Hypnotic Brass. When they started off Welcome... it was like a punch in the gut-a fantastic punch in the gut. The sound was just incredible. So much more powerful than any of the recordings that I've heard. That was amazing.

I was also in awe at Damon being so close to me. I just kept thinking - this is not tv. He's actually there.... Incredible.

 

They played Punk and 19/2000 and.... Tomorrow comes today!!! I was not expecting that! It was so good live. Cass added more drums to it, so that there was a build up to the chorus. Brilliant.

 

Broken nearly had me in tears. Very powerful.

 

Daley was there. He did a great job!

 

Roses really got the crowd going with Dare. She did a great job on 19/2000 too. plus, she looked smokin' hot.

 

To binge was just so adorable. They've become really comfortable with each other now. It was just beautiful.

 

Paul and Mick were so much fun!! Mick did his cute little White Flag dance and Paul was just so damn cool. It was hilarious at one point - I think it was during OMH - the bass wasn't needed and Paul was just standing there in this really cool pose - one hand in his pocket and standing beside Damon. The crowd were singing the chorus part - you know, the "bu bu..." bit, and between his surprise at the crowd's response and the way Paul was standing - Damon couldn't help but laugh for like the first 3rd of the song. It was adorable.

 

I couldn't really see Cass much at all. He was at a bad angle for where I was, but he and Damon had a really cute exchange during Glitter Freeze. They were just laughing and having fun. It was really sweet. Mark E Smith was there. He had the sheet of paper again. He didn't say anything intelligible.

 

Damon straddled the big bell thing for the amusement of the string section.

 

Damon was having a great time. I think he was surprised at the reception he got. People knew all the words and were singing along with the instrumental parts! I've never heard that before!

 

Stylo was perfect. Really brilliant. Bobby got the cues bang on. fabulous.

 

They ended with Don't get lost and Demon Days. I had tears in my eyes. It was so overwhelmingly beautiful.

 

They did Clint Eastwood in the encore... I left this till last, cause I thought you guys might like this - he fucking jumped into the crowd around me. Fucking hell! Like he was just about a foot away from me! I didn't get to reach him though It was pretty chaotic. Very funny though. Smoggy pulled him out .

 

We got splashed with water - of course .

 

Also, something that was really obvious to me was that all of the collaborators and musicians really seem to love Damon. De La Soul were really showing the love and so was Bobby and The Hypnotic Brass Ensemble. They all seem to really love him. Very sweet.

 

That's all I can think of at the moment.

This is really long! Sorry!

THIS IS FRIGGIN AWESOME!!!!!!! AWWWW BB!!!!!!! :heart: I am so thrilled you had such a great time! It sounds like the seats you had were like how mine were-was it NOT surreal when Damon would make eye contact with you at certain moments? OMG I wanna go back now!!!!!!!!! :D:D:D:D:D

Seems like you had a fantastic time, glad you like it.

 

Don't now why, but when all the people bashed Mark E. Smith in the Glastonbury performance (and i think this one was similar as well), i was one of the few people who liked it. Don't know why, it seems like it' a beautiful disaster happening xD.

 

Man, all you people going, posting impressions and such, and here i am, reading them with envy xD.
