Hardly best of british though? Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett created the band, but input has come from all over the globe. Whoever does TGFPA's fact checking should be sacked. Can you even point to England on a globe?!?

Of particular significance: the first album was produced by Dan the Automator, who is from San Francisco, and Danger Mouse produced the second album -he's from New York.

 

Just because Damon Albarn was in the ubiquitous Brit-pop band Blur doesn't mean you should jump to the conclusion that the Gorillaz are 'British'.

jesus christ......

 

try 2 give you a little credit.....

 

they say they record mostly in england....so im just thanking you for tha building then.....good job..........

 

if you want to credit everyone, more power 2 you.... i was just trying 2 be fair....i gave you shit for lady sov...so i figured i would give credit where "i" thought it was due...

 

your arguement while valid has no purpose......

 

stop over analyzing it... i did not say thank you england for the input/influences for tha gorillaz....

 

but it seems tha guy who thought of it resided in tha continent of europe more specifically england.....

 

and lord knows if i thanked new york and san fran for it yall would jump down my ass.....

 

and dirk get 2 work.......

 

it was just a fucking thank you

Zach told my dad about u beating up that old guy which was fucked since I only told him because he told me he leaves the vault without taking his notebook--so I told him b/c that was a wakeup for me to start locking my case every time and never leave anything out... But instead of thinking about what he is/might be doing wrong he tells old man VP. So then I get asked about it last night at dinner b/c of all the shit with those fucks down there and he was afraid u were fighting them! So I had to tell the story and make u out to be a hero and told him the old guy got arrested for attacking you. ... ... So, not my fault this time. I did damage control and made you look like a bad-ass and my mom said you "sure know how to handle youself in every situation" and anyways... not my fault. I'm never telling zack shit again, that dumb fucker. I don't even know how that would come up in a conversation.

Ha ha fair enough mate, I was only ripping the piss a bit after the Lady Sov. business.

 

Seriously though, the Gorillaz aren't what you'd call a quintissentially British act. Thank us for Roots Manuva or something. Hell, thank us for the Beatles or the Sex Pistols or whatever, ha ha.
