Gorrilaz don't even both with that, just animation
- toyg 6y agoDamon Albarn was already famous by then.
- mytailorisrich 6y agoIt took me some time to discover that Gorillaz was his band. That's a great proof of talent, isn't it?
- toyg 6y agoHis talent for obfuscation, you mean? Gorillaz definitely benefited at bootstrap from being "the new project by Damon Albarn of Blur".
- mytailorisrich 6y agoNo, I mean people being drawn to the music, not the famous name (even if the famous name helped promote the band)
- freewilly1040 6y agoI wonder if this is a 2021 view of Gorillaz possibly being more famous than Blur at this point. Though, for sure there were plenty of contemporary Gorlillaz fans who didn't know anything about Blur.
- jdminhbg 6y agoGorillaz have always been more popular than Blur in the US at least, where their only hit was Song 2.
- toyg 6y agoAnd Song 2 broke only because of the infamous FIFA game, I guess... although they actually recorded that album in the US. In Europe (UK but also elsewhere) Blur made it big with "Girls & Boys" (#1 in UK, massive hit). The chorus was an absolute meme where I lived.
- mplanchard 6y agoNot necessarily. I got into Gorillaz when “Clint Eastwood” was popular here in the US. Had never heard of Blur. Didn’t even learn about Blur until years and years and years later, when I realized Damon Albarn had done something before Gorillaz and looked them up.
