Gorillaz how old is murdoc

She can look after herself, but this one's too big for her on her own. I'm helping her out of there. In fact I only stopped by here to pick up a can of mace, when I noticed that someone had left the door open and let you gonks in After the first album Russel had this big mad breakdown.

He had the spirit of Del exorcised out of him by the Grim Reaper. Which kind of sent him mental. He tried to record a solo album but then he was saying that all these demons were flying out the speakers trying to eat him. Turns out though he was right. The Demons were real! Out of a radio.

Dragged her downstairs, to Hades! He was cocked off about some late payment of my eternal soul, or something stupid. He as well as anyone should know that these type of payments take time to come through. Still I was never bored as a child. While spending many years on an around-the-world bender, Murdoc began running low on cash, he became a gun runner and was selling faulty weapons in Mexico in order to make fast money.

He took further measures by burning down Kong Studios on July 25th, and attended Jamie Hewlett's opera as an alibi. After blaming the fire on some local kids, Murdoc cashed in on the insurance money and fled the country. His reason for leaving the UK was because he was on the run from a gang of pirates called "The Black Clouds" who purchased the broken weapons from Murdoc the last time he was in Mexico.

Now armed with new, working weapons, they began to hunt Murdoc down as an act of revenge for ripping them off. While sailing the world for a somewhere to hide, Murdoc had discovered an island made entirely out of floating landfill which he would call, Plastic Beach.

He would also use the insurance money to erect a new Gorillaz HQ on top of the island and began working on demos for the Plastic Beach album. Murdoc has since revealed various disturbing truths about Gorillaz' history via his "Pirate Radio" broadcasts on Gorillaz.

Among them include the revelation that Noodle was never rescued; upon entering Hell and searching wildly for her, he discovered that she was not there and that she had disappeared on her own. It was an island made entirely of social and cultural garbage. He is presently located on Plastic Beach, where he's kidnapped 2-D and began production of the Gorillaz album Plastic Beach. During the interview, Murdoc also hinted at a possible fourth album for Gorillaz.

Murdoc has most recently been trying and failing to appear at live shows around the world such as Coachella and The Roundhouse, but many things have stopped him, such as being deported from America. The ever-so pesky "Gorillaz Tribute Band" has been blocking his way and preventing him from taking the stage See the Murdoc Dressing Room video shorts where, when preparing for a concert, Murdoc, 2-D, and Cyborg Noodle get trapped inside.

Got it! Previous post. Next post. Gorillaz Character Backstory: Murdoc Niccals. Murdoc Niccals as a baby Sebastian Niccals and Murdoc In school, known as Sodsworth Comprehensive School, he played pranks on his teachers and classmates which made everyone dislike him.

All the time. Entertain me. Or go home. Murdoc is an immortalist. The performances arranged by his father were always humiliating song and dance numbers, usually with feathered costumes and tap shoes, including one performance in which Murdoc was forcibly dressed up as Pinocchio and sang "I've Got No Strings".

It was from here on out that Murdoc decided to become a musician, and he would never again take the stage under someone else's direction. He would wreak his havoc on this world of buffoons. Murdoc dreamt about becoming a famous musician and leaving Stoke-On-Trent. After becoming a Satanist, he began making deals with the devil and came to an arrangement with him.

If Murdoc was to become a famous rock star, he would offer Satan his soul. Murdoc played in a number of bands before Gorillaz, though they never went anywhere. The names and instruments of the other members appear in the Gorillaz promotional booklet and are given as follows: Billy Boy who is based on a character in A Clockwork Orange and Tiny on guitars, Crunch on drums, Rocky on keyboards, and Munch, who appears to be listed as "Band Artist.

At some point in the early s, Murdoc founded a band called, Murdoc's Burning Sensations. Not much is known about the band outside of being a featured headliner for a concert at the Withered Hand in Stoke-on-Trent on November 29, It is assumed that the band broke up at some point prior to due to unknown circumstances.

On August 15, , Murdoc and a gang of criminals were on a crime spree in a stolen Vauxhall Astra. Murdoc launched the car through the shop window, crashing directly into Stuart's face, putting him into a coma and giving him an 8-ball fracture on his left eye. After the incident, Murdoc was arrested and was sentenced to 30, hours of community service and spending 10 hours a week caring for Stuart. One day while skidding his car around a car park in Nottingham, Murdoc accidentally sent Stuart flying through the windshield into a curb, giving Stuart a fracture on his right eye, yet waking him up from his coma.

Impressed by Stuart's appearance, describing him as "a blue-haired, black-eyed god", Murdoc recruited him as the lead singer and keyboardist for his band and gave him the nickname 2-D for the two dents in his head.

The band also hired 2-D's girlfriend at the time, Paula Cracker , as their guitarist, but was soon fired after she was caught having sex with Murdoc in the studio toilets by Russel and received 5 more punches to his nose.

After Noodle joined the band and the band was finally named Gorillaz, Murdoc organized a gig at the Camden Brownhouse and invited Mr.

He and the rest of the band were successfully signed after their first gig in November that year. With the success of the band's first album in , the band launched a disastrous world tour. While in the United States, Murdoc established a cult of personality with various seedy individuals, chief of which being Little Jimmy Manson , a psychopathic midget dangerously obsessed with either killing Murdoc or falling in love with him.

In a hotel room one night, Murdoc summoned a black-skinned demon boy that ended up siding with Jimmy and stalking the band ever since. After achieving fame, fortune, and several nasty hangovers, the alcoholic bassist relocated his band over to Los Angeles so they could begin production on a movie.

Unfortunately, this was never to be. They were conned by a movie director who it turns out, was just an insane man while Murdoc attempted starring in a television program he was too old for the part , and they ventured unsuccessfully into scriptwriting. Murdoc took off to a Tijuana brothel after strangling 2-D who, like the rest of the band, went their separate ways and was eventually thrown in prison with a year sentence for giving counterfeit checks to prostitutes.

It was during this sentence that he was acquainted with his raven Cortez , the "jailbird with a chilling reputation". While serving his sentence Murdoc acquired some prison ink in the form of the seven deadly sins tattooed across his back , and also took an Open University course: "Amateur Administration of Pharmaceutical Medicines" and managed to pass a medical exam, earning the title 'Dr. After returning to the brothel to make a final point to the Mexican authorities, Murdoc loaded up on duty-free tequila and a few sombreros and made his way back to Kong, finding that Noodle had written the second album by herself which he tried to take the credit for.

The new album, Demon Days , made the band into even bigger superstars. Gorillaz-Unofficial released an article containing the contents of the book. The reason why was because Jimmy had auditioned for Gorillaz a few years back, but was turned down after Noodle got the job, causing Jimmy to have a grudge with Gorillaz ever since. Murdoc saw Jimmy's plan and decided to get rid of him before it was too late. Murdoc told Jimmy that he had a plan to "help him" to kill off one of the band members so that Gorillaz would end with a bang, and that Jimmy could start a new band with Murdoc.

However, Murdoc turned the tables on Jimmy by not only "forgetting" to leave the weapon aboard the island, but by also locking him in the windmill. Jimmy supposedly died within the crash while Noodle parachuted to safety.

It was stated by Murdoc that Noodle had been planning to leave after Demon Days , although leaving what, the band or the country, was never answered. Though it had been planned for months, she had neglected to tell anyone of her plans although Murdoc stated it was obvious what she was doing. While some may say this is one of the only occasions when it appears that Murdoc isn't as selfish as he appears, he later states that "no one was going to ruin his band", obviously meaning he would not jeopardize his fame.

However on the 8th November , the day of the live chat on bandmate Murdoc's Facebook page, Murdoc revealed that Noodle has actually been taken to Hell in place of Russel Hobbs by the demons invading the Kong Studios building. My way in. There was one thing Kelly enjoyed even more than violence, and that was music. If I was to win her heart, I needed to be in a band. Then followed a string of experimental groups, searching for my sound. So much raw, original music, lost to history. Shame really.

Come to think of it, those were all essentially the same band. A solo act, strictly-speaking. Those fateful meetings with 2D, Russ and Noodle were still a few years away. Needless to say, the music did the trick.

Secured my first proper date with Kelly. Took her to the local slate quarry. Brought some Cherry Bakewells and a thermos of cider, and we sat on the edge, watching the JCBs hauling gravel. Quite the aphrodisiac, too, all that dirt, hydraulics, etcetera.

You could say the earth moved.
