Why is murdoc green gorillaz

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.

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 Cloud" 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's 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. It appears from the music videos of Stylo and On Melancholy Hill , an evil force known as the Boogieman is chasing Murdoc and is after him to claim his soul.

The Boogieman also appears in several other pieces of Gorillaz artwork and is also seen in the 2-D ident, though the motives of the character are still unknown. However, on the Gorillaz website, it was noted that the Boogieman is a physical manifestation of Murdoc's evil side, with the Evangelist being a lighter side, though all we know of the Evangelist is that it was created for the sole purpose of saving Murdoc from himself.

As it turns out, the devil was getting impatient, waiting nearly forever to get Murdoc's soul. He sent the Boogieman to collect it, but of course, he was unsuccessful. Murdoc attempted and failed 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. Murdoc had said that the "Gorillaz Tribute Band" was actually a group of people made by Lucifer, in punishment for not allowing him to take his soul.

This relates to Murdoc and the collaborators looking for Noodle, as they are in submarines in the ocean at the same time as Noodle, although the video also shows the arrival of the gang to the island of Plastic Beach. It is evident by his detailed "story" that he is there alone, though, some fans are convinced he is lying about 2-D's "sudden death" which didn't happen in an uncut version until he said it again was true and the appearance of Russel and Noodle, as well as the destruction of the Cyborg Noodle.

He also revealed that he faked his death by putting a Murdoc look-a-like in his place and killed him to fool the Boogieman. He finally escaped Plastic Beach via rowboat, until he got caught up in a typhoon and was blown thousands of miles across the ocean and ending up in Hawaii.

The single was released on 23 February. It is unknown what happened after the rest of the band finally caught up with Murdoc, but in the DoYaThing video, it is revealed that they are all living together. However, they have been threatened with an eviction notice. Murdoc escaped the Plastic Beach ruins in his submarine, taking Cyborg Noodle along with him her destruction by Noodle is implied to be a lie on Murdoc's part.

Soon after, Murdoc was approached by an Entertainment Internal Affairs representative, who releases him with orders to write songs for the next Gorillaz album.

During the Strobelite music video shoot, Murdoc met a man at the bar, who turned out to be El Mierda , a shadow demon and kingpin of a crime dynasty.

Murdoc thought the man wanted a selfie but since El Mierda reminded him of his Geography teacher they took it anyway and Murdoc sent it to his school WhatsApp thread. A total [fuckwit], basically. El Mierda piped up; I presumed he wanted a selfie. How was I to know he was the kingpin of the bloodiest crime dynasty in modern history? Reminded me a lot of my old Geography teacher, actually, so we did a selfie anyway for my school WhatsApp thread. On 4 June Murdoc's Twitter account became active once again, sending out a link that has instructions to contact Murdoc through Skype, Facebook, Kik, and Amazon Alexa.

Through this chat, fans can hack into Wormwood Scrub's PA system and send a message over the loudspeaker. Through this fight, he can gain respect so he can ask prisoners for info on El Mierda. He finally escaped on August 31 but his whereabouts were unknown for some time. Two weeks later, Noodle managed to track down El Mierda to Patagonia.

However, she was angered to discover the "El Mierda" in the Strobelite video was actually leather goods salesman named Juan and the real El Mierda was actually the very old owner of a spa who had never even heard of Gorillaz: the truth was Murdoc had been imprisoned for parking fines and he "escaped" on the exact day he was supposed to be released. Just as she was venting her frustrations, she was startled to encounter a yak with Murdoc tied to its back.

Murdoc quickly rejoined the band shortly afterward. On the 14th of September , Murdoc sent a post-card from his annual drunken holiday in Ibiza. The post-card arrived at Studio 13 on the 26th of September.

In Momentary Bliss , Murdoc interacts with slowthai and Slaves and tries drugging Damon by pulling out a tiny green bottle filled with either poison or hard liquor and pouring some of it into his drink; after Murdoc notices there were no ill effects, Murdoc drinks the rest of the bottle's contents; he is later seen vomiting outside the recording studio.

He pops out of a trunk mailed to the new Kong Studios. After wandering around for a bit, he sees a door closing in the distance; Murdoc follows it and just misses 2-D walking through a door leading somewhere else. After wandering around some more, Murdoc realizes he is the only one at the studio and everyone else is gone; after going back to the door 2-D went through, Murdoc starts to cry as he goes back upstairs, curling up on a sofa.

He then returns back to the trunk and blankly stares ahead as he closes it. Noodle, reasonably concerned, recruits Russel to chase after them. Noodle fails to warn 2-D, however, and the video ends with Murdoc brandishing a large syringe with truth serum inside.

Russel then attacks Murdoc and Noodle attempts to pull Russel off of him to deescalate the situation. In the Machine Bitez preceding Aries, 2-D explains the portals in the new Kong to a confused and curious Murdoc after teasing him about crying because he was left behind.

Russel theorizes that 2-D was injected because Murdoc wanted control of the portals in Kong and believed 2-D was keeping secrets from him about them. In Friday 13th , the injuries that Murdoc and all of the others suffered as a result of the fight after Aries are shown throughout the video, filmed while all four band members were in quarantine. In Strange Timez , Murdoc and the rest of the band explore outer space together with his winnnebago. During their adventure, Murdoc enters a portal on the moon that leads him into a colourful void that lands him right back to Kong Studios, with the rest of the band then proceeding to fly back to earth.

In The Pink Phantom , Murdoc attempts to catch a ghost that's been haunting Kong Studios called The Pink Phantom, a being with unknown origins that feeds off negative energy. Murdoc almost sinks along with the island after 2-D, Russel and Noodle escape to safety, but is saved at the last minute by 2-D, who comes back and reaches his hand out from the portal to catch him. During his hour he interviewed Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, neither of whom he was very pleased to be talking to: he accused Damon of stealing his work and misspoke Jamie's name several times.

At one point Jamie highlighted Murdoc's famous grunts that hadn't been heard in some time, to which Murdoc quickly broke out into them while explaining he was in the process of washing a chicken. Gorillaz Wiki Explore.

Only material stuff like money, cars and iPods can do that. And I've already got all that. So I have to find other ways to amuse myself. Gorillaz - The Book of Murdoc. Page 13 Rise of the Ogre. Penguin Group. Published 26 October Retrieved May 21, Heavily seasoned, tinned star-fish tuna This is a protein-rich food that will sustain Gorillaz through their heavy schedule.

It has the added benefit of omega-3 fats that are good for the brain. On the downside, tuna tends to come contaminated with mercury, which among other things, is toxic to, er, the brain. Possibly best avoided by those who wish to keep their creative juices flowing. Coconuts Eating coconut is often ill-advised because of its saturated fat content. However, there is no evidence that this causes heart disease, and coconut is actually natural and nutritious, which Gorillaz should not be shy of.

Diamante-studded bananas Not a bad food, but its high-carb, low-protein nature will fail to give Gorillaz the staying power provided by coconuts and peanut butter.

Green tea Not sure about its "detoxing properties", but tea drinking is associated with benefits for the heart, enhanced fat loss and reduced risk of cancer. As drinks go, this hits the right note.

Container of hot and spicy salsa Tomato and onion are both nutritious foods, and if this dish comes with fresh coriander even better — this herb is believed to help remove mercury see tuna from the body.

Jar of self-righteous organic peanut butter Nuts are a protein-rich food that release sugar slowly into the bloodstream. Both these qualities mean that nuts can sate the appetite for relatively long periods of time and help Gorillaz cope with the rigours of touring. Bottle of mg vitamin C Primates lack the capacity to manufacture vitamin C, which means this crucial nutrient must be supplied through diet. Gorillaz are going to get precious little of this from their rider, which makes vitamin C supplements a relevant and healthy choice.
