Explaining The Gorillaz Lore

Okay you know what I think I should pin this comment… now I’m not pointing out specific people because I’m not petty but I want to say that the Criticism of my voice is because I was Ill with Covid at the time. Now I know that that isn’t an excuse, but normally I find it hard to pronounce words because I am saying the scripts out loud so that everyone in my household can hear and I get a bit shy about speaking aloud. But in this case since I had covid my head was killing me, meanwhile I would rush words and make mistakes but I couldn’t edit it out because I was too Ill and plus I had a runny nose meaning that I couldn’t really speak properly either. Once again just pointing it out not targeting anyone but I have just been getting a lot of comments about it lol. Hope you enjoy the video!

The Rhinestone Eyes video never actually being made is the biggest shame in Gorillaz' history. Not only does the storyboard already look like the best Gorillaz video of all, it is also so crucial to the story.

I like how you never break the fourth wall of the story

I love how 19-2000 is playing in the backround while he's explaining how murdoc almost killed 2D (10:55)

26:06 I have no idea why I find it so funny that 2D survived for MONTHS off the whale carcass but never thought to venture into the “island” to see he was in Mexico given he was only 30 minutes away from a resort. Then again, the guy went through hell even before the whale ate him, so I can’t really blame him for not being completely there.

I had no idea the lore was as fleshed out as it is. thank you so much I have always been a huge fan of gorillaz and only knew like 15% of this!! Please explain cracker island plz!!

We're you get all those old school pics

Watching the rhinestone eyes music video without knowing the lore behind it before I learned the lore was exactly like listening to someone re-tell a fever dream

this is the best video for the lore because it's the most up to date one. Not to mention that it is thorough and great.

It's been a dream of mine ever since Metalocalypse for somebody to help produce a show based on the Gorillaz in the same kinda style. There's enough story for multiple seasons worth of show. Each phase could be its own season. They could even go back and include the never finished Rhinestone Eyes video for the show.

This needs a ton more views this is amazing. I never really knew much about this and this just blew my mind with how good it is.

Thank you so much for this detailed video. I've been listening to Gorillaz for many years now but was never that invested in the lore, so that's lots of new interesting information for me!

You worded this in such an easy to digest way!! Not to mention how you included everything without making the video 4 hours long! Great video

First i see a ship named ringo and now murdoc was thrown under abbey road studios? It’s like the beatles follow you everywhere as long as your in the timeline after the 60s!

This video was really good, I appreciated you pointing out how The Gorillaz Live Band were the pirate guys in the Rhinestone Eyes video, I never knew that but it's really cool and makes sense, I thought the videos with the Gorillaz being trapped in the dressing room was just a joke about them obviously not being able to actually appear in a live show without holograms or something, but no it actually connects to the lore! Really cool stuff

Thank you so much for the subtitles, I have a slight Auditory Processing Disorder (I'm really sorry if this sounds mean) and your voice is kinda hard to understand for me. Also thanks for doing just this video in general!

quick correction- Murdoc never asked the band for approval in his plan to kill off their evil manager, nor did he even let them know.

Finally a fully in-depth video on this. Great stuff!

Thanks for this :)) I've been trying to find out the lore behind these characters all day cause I like just got into the band recently and this helped me to understand everything a lot better.

thank you so much for explaining it all! I needed a refresher on all the gorillaz lore and now I’m able to understand more now :) it’s a lot to take in lol
