In a recent interview, Gorillaz bassist Murdoc told a magazine "All that other crap out there is just sonic landfill in skinny jeans and stupid sunglasses... (you will get) a warm, tingly feeling as you realise you haven't actually been listening to 'music' for a long while."

If there are any Gorillaz fans out there reading this that haven't taken me off their watch-lists because I decided not to draw shitty buttsucking fanart anymore and actually improve my artistic skill, this is for you.

Gorillaz suck. No. Not their music. I like their music. I still listen to it every now and then. They suck because of their so called "message" that I fell for when I was, like you, just a naive, asslicking fangirl.
This message of theirs, as demonstrated by Mr Niccals above, is to try and get you to think that they are the only good band out there.
Yes, I can see where they're coming from. Things like Lady Gaga, the Jonas brothers, Paris Hilton, Britney Spears and Emo have certainly done nothing but detract from the definition of 'music' and redefine it as crap. Yes it appeals to the masses. No, you shouldn't listen to that shit. But it is NOT the only thing out there.

Ladies and gentlemen, there are wonderful, brilliant bands that write masterpieces of albums-- and yes, they DO get airtime as well. This pompous, egotistical, bloated corpse that Gorillaz has become is flat out denying this. Don't blame Murdoc. He's a fictional character. He's a puppet, doing what Jamie and Damon tell him to do. This is the message that Jamie and Damon are sending out through their interpreter to the masses, and I think it's because they don't have any idea what they're talking about. You want to send a message? Send it. Just don't push your own creations up on a fucking pedestal and say they're the best there is, because no matter how much you try to "shy away" from the spotlight, it's you, and it always has been you.
Fuck, Murdoc doesn't even have a PERSONALITY anymore! Wasn't he supposed to be some uber-goth metalhead badass? Where are mentions of good bands, like Opeth and Iron Maiden and Dream Theater? Why has he been told to think that he's the best? What's that, you say? Because he's arrogant? THEN WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU FANGIRLS STILL SEE IN HIM?!

God, I can only thank my friends for dragging me out of that fucking Gorillaz rut I was stuck in for so long and showing me proper music, and bands that care about their fans and aren't complete arrogant pricks. The good musicians who slave in recording studios for us. The ones who can write deep meaningful songs that tell stories and don't have to be edgy and make statements. The artists that can release an album a year as opposed to every five years and STILL manage to have a better finished product than Gorillaz, and THEN go on to play concerts across the globe until it's time to write another album.

On another note, I'd just like to point out, if you've read this far, that the Gorillaz fandom is by far the most shallow and uncaring group of people I've met.
Shame on the people who spam the fucking favourite button on a piece of shitty MS paint Gorillaz deviation for the subject matter, instead of caring about artists who actually have talent.
Shame on the people who still shit out this fetid, rotting fecal matter they call "Gorillaz fanart" for the popularity and ego-boost alone. You know who you are.
