Not only is Gorillaz amazing musicalically, it's a collaboration between people with different backgrounds, races and nationalities to the very core. Good luck finding something like that elsewhere in mainstream music.
Exactly! It's probably my favourite thing about them...it means so much to me as as a person who's permanently conflicted about their cultural identity. I was born from Arabic parents but I've always lived in Europe...so many differences, yet such an amazing opportunity to widen your horizon and try to find some common ground and understanding! What they've been doing with Gorillaz is almost idealistic, but it's really not impossible. We just have to step out of our comfort zones, I think. And avoid listening to shady, opportunistic politicians, be them left or right...those only think about their benefits, they don't care about the well-being of people. That's why we keep having wars...they make a hell lot of money out of them, unfortunately
In my honest opinion, you have to listen to this entire album in one sitting to get the full experience, because each song complements the other and turns the whole album in to one big story in my head.
love how damon gave all the collaborators complete free reign when it came to their musical and lyrical input, and they still manage to put together little songs that represent different journeys on plastic beach, love it!!!
Jamie was damn right about Plastic Beach not having to be a movie , the whole phase 3 concept is not about the island itself but the journey towards it (album's tour was called Escape to Plastic Beach, after all), it's a mindset to escapism every fan was involved in. So fricking meta.
Elliott Geer you can find the full demo of it on you tube it was leaked and at 2:26 you can hear a song that they scrapped being hummed that Damon used for another project called Dr. Dee, the song is called apple carts. There are tons more songs that we don’t have complete version or had versions of that are scrapped demos or non archived songs from the old Gorillaz website. I recommend the RUclips channel blueheaven as they have uploaded a ton of Gorillaz songs and content all the way up to the first Demon Days Festival.
@@cacao2cream369 I know that I'm too late, but you little bit wrong. Not single version of Electric Shock was ever leaked The first one is from Carousel (pre-Plastic Beach project that was scrapped and reworked into the album we all know and love), and it's unreleased, the only way to hear it is listen to the Africa Exprez live from 2008, but I'm sure it's not the same as studio version Second version is Demo from BBC Radio showed with Demos of "Broken" and "Stylo", many people consider this as Carousel version, but on radio Damon said that "it has changed sense Africa Exprez" I don't know much about third one, except it's the version in "The Making Of... " and was added to Damon's minimix for "Everyday Robots" under the name "Electric Demo. Acording to information on Gorillaz Wiki, it was suppoesed to feature Hypnotic Brass and Mos Def Hypnotic Brass is in the demo, but Most Def can't be heard It was the last version of Electric Shock Many tracks by Gprillaz take parts from ES multiple versions: Twelve Moons (Frpm PB Deluxe) Strobelite, Rhinestone Eyes - all these tracks have something from Electric Shock (sorry for mistakes, english is not my native language)
Thankz for uploading thiz vid... Plastic Beach iz now one of my all-time favorite albums (next to Stadium Arcadium & The Black Album)... Thiz iz like watchin' The Statue of Liberty bein' made... The Majesty Of Gorillaz.... !!!
@EndlessBreadstix They said they actualy recorded over 60 pieces of music that didn't make it on the album, so I can say that it is almost a guarantee.
Jamie deserves recognition too he’s the one that brings the characters and places to life, it’s a matter of team work we need them both for Gorillaz to be Gorillaz
like, i like the gorillaz im not saying that they suck im just wondering how come theyre not doing it like before all rock and stuff with all the guitarist bassplayer and all that stuff

Wow the amount of art they keep away from the public, whish they released all the art.
I WISH THAT TOO
So many alternate versions, demos, unused material, artwork... So much I wish we could hear.
@Gavin Orth Music is art too, y'know?
We NEED this kinda art today.

I want a book of all the sketches from Plastic Beach!
They 've released something like that recently
The main song of this album is eargasm for me. I'm glad there still music like this.
IN THE MIDDLE OF RECORDING DID THEY JUST KIND OF LIKE "FUCK IT, LET'S HAVE A SNOWBALL FIGHT."
It helps the creative process.
More like taking a snowball
Damon is a god.
And Jamie :)
No that’s Murdoc.
Ya know what I love about these videos so much? In every shot Mos Def looks like he is having the absolute best time of his life in that studio! :)
Jamie: So that's plastic beach...
"WOW..."
my reaction in a nutshell
They HAVE to make a movie about gorillaz´s story!!! it would be an awesome animation :D ♥.♥
Fer Rugama IKR! I just hope they have a lot of control over it though!!!
Yeah It would be awesome!
well, it could be some kind of spinoff, rise of the ogre is the whole story and it's huge, making that into a movie would be a 4 hours lenght movie
they tried in the 00s
now Netflix of all things are planning one
R.I.P. electric shock :(
@2:26 he is humming "apple carts"
Damn good catch brah
Damon Albarn is pure genius. The Plastic Beach project is a top tier master piece. For me is better than Gorillaz first amazing two albums.
Wow, cool this backstage! I love the album Plastic Beach...😍
The Gorillaz are the Beatles of this millenium.
Yeah I said it!
No wonder they’re my favourite artists.
Dude Electric shock sounds dope.

That's Paul.... Simonon, nooooooo he said the magic words just now
Right when I read this they siad it 😂💀
I never knew Plastic Beach was the collection of litter! This is beautiful
If that was an insult you'd better watch yourself
like everyone I thought Plastic Beach was just a computer animation, amazing that they actually built it
with half of the Clash involved it couldn't go wrong 😛
Thankz for uploading thiz vid... Plastic Beach iz now one of my all-time favorite albums (next to Stadium Arcadium & The Black Album)... Thiz iz like watchin' The Statue of Liberty bein' made...
The Majesty Of Gorillaz.... !!!
Telecasters are symbolic.
And Gorillaz thaught me that.
I have the same model of guitar Noodle has.
SWEEPSTAAAAAKES!
I like how it evolves and becomes more and more sort of chaotic but it song still is in one part. Orsm orsm orsm :)
Evil cyborg Noodle looks like she has a drooling problem. Wait... how does a cyborg drool? Anyways, that Plastic Beach model has so much detail!!!
I would love to collaborate with Damon one day. His music and energy just seems so contagious
i love waching how some of the best songs are put together :)
They should make a Gorillaz movie or TV show. :)
well it's been confirmed, a 10 episode series is coming out in 2018 :)
I know! :D

GORILLAZ ROCKS ALWAYS!!!
2:26 ❤🍏🍎 Apple Carts 🍎🍏 ❤
I'm trying to build a Plastic beach model, it's going good. But it's nothing compared to Jamie's
That's what I've been wanting to do 🥺
@EndlessBreadstix They said they actualy recorded over 60 pieces of music that didn't make it on the album, so I can say that it is almost a guarantee.
Damon is like the Elon Musk of music..
Hey, don't insult Damon like that.
Many thanks for uploading this. Love Gorillaz and Mos Def, so this was great to see.
SWEEPSTAKES!
The tune at 1:40 is amazing. Is not on the record right???
DAMON THE GENIOUS
Lara Coimbra nnjjj
Jamie deserves recognition too he’s the one that brings the characters and places to life, it’s a matter of team work we need them both for Gorillaz to be Gorillaz
what happened with the songs that didnt make the album? i wanna hear them lol
@DJMax85 She's back. She's back, all right. There's this artwork of her with a burn around her eye; she survived the crash.
gotta love mos def.
6:30
well 2:40 is 'Sweeptakes' and the song what starts around 3:25 is 'Plastic Beach'
if gorillaz went into like film they would make the best movies of all time
As a musician myself, listening closely reveals that it is definitely his style.
The intro secton where Damon explains why it is called Plastic Beach is pure Spinal Tap ha
wish they had kept that brass line in broken would have been awesome
love how they added brass to the Broken track, it would have sounded so much better if they kept it.
I'm Dying for a P-Sides right now.....
I want the extended version of Broken!!
@KimoraTimmerman Hey, I saw no-one replied! It's a dvd that came with the 'experience edition' of Plastic Beach
❤❤❤❤
The working on a new album its not the fall right its new yess a new album im exited cant wait to hear it
thanks dude
@Flashingflash shes not dead look it up! zoom in on el manana video and you can see her on a parachute as the windmill explodes.
@elgaragehermetico It's Electric Shock I THINK. It evolved into Rhinestone Eyes anyway.
I think Damon should produce Mos Def's next album.
@TheBeastWithin6 It had a darker sound, but Plastic Beach, though more polished, is no darker in its undertones.
that was a rumour. the band are working on a new album as we speak
Anyone care to explain what the hell is going on with those trumpets at like @7:20?
espero que lanzen una segunda parte de este album, en verdad es genial!
Pues... ¿Humanz te sirve?
i know the project is on hiatus but i really hope they release a P-sides...
7:08 Soz guys but, that's what she said! *badum tish!* Cool vid! Awesome band :)
This is the highest like to dislike ratio I’ve ever seen
@jakespnl463 They do a different thing with each album. Gorillaz and Demon Days were just darker than plastic Beach.
1:52 what song is he playin please?
Que hay? muy buen video
Best disco
Hope electric shock's gonna be on P-Sides I'd be really disappointed if they're not gonna release it
@crazypoptarts09 it was Murdoc who kidneapped 2d..i think the guy in ths video is theguy in stylo..maybe
mos def baby
@REMnut12 Thank youuu! :D
Bande de génies :3.
gorillaz are going to make p-sides beacause the songs electric shock and the music in Russel's ident weren't in the original plastic beach album
SWEEPSTAKES! YOU'RE THE WINNER!
Seriously?? YUSS :D
Thanks a lot! :D
cool thanks
Which song at 1:45?? The trombone is amazing
Lorenz Müller electric shock, but the trombone isn’t in it, they just did that part in the documentary
@@giolayug the trombone is from another song but i can't find it :(
yyyes.
0 people need to make fun of people who dislike good music
@DJMax85 he's not.
the actress who played noodles is gone and they killed the character
@Bangaz22 Electric Shock
i think that B0sides would be more easier to say lol ...BUT I HOPE THEY MAKE IT.
mos def
I'm pretty sure that's Plastic Beach.
please someone tell me that when is the REAL Noodle coming back?????
dawn of the dead reference!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damon Albarn looks like a finnish pop/rock star Ismo Alanko.
paul and mick? anyone? anyone?

Bustagroov plastic Beach(the song), it’s the beat
i have no idea how much money i would spend to buy the plastic beach replica island...i would fucking OWN point nemo!
