Listen to their song Clint Eastwood next!

I refuse to believe anyone older than 20 has NEVER heard this song before

*To everyone questioning how he hasn’t heard this song before, you can hear music without ever really listening to it. There’s a difference. Now he listened.*

That’s De La Soul rapping bruh ! One of the greatest rap groups of all time.

my guy could be listening to opera and still dance like he’s at a rave

I’m getting super into dudes seeing rock they don’t normally listen to.

Gorillaz has slowly become my favourite band this year.

Those of you saying "There's no way he never heard this song." There's a difference between "hearing" and "listening"

Gorillaz characters are literal characters. They're not drawings of a person that exists in real life, they have their own personalities and backgrounds. The vocalist is nicknamed 2-D because his eyes are pitch black, looking like 2 dots. The bassist is Murdoc, the satanist brit who started the Band and the one responsible for the accident that made blood fill 2Ds eyes, turning them black. All these characters are living a fiction story of a Crazy ass Band that defies all genres and the industry with style! These are only two of many. The Gorillaz are very much alive and GOD DAMN, please do react to more of them!

The real question is how haven’t you heard this song at all in your life

This was a project put together by uncredited studio musicians using animated characters as front characters, with guest rappers for the break on each song. This utterly dominated the charts in the early 2000s.

I can't believe I meet somebody who's never heard Gorillaz welcome friend

Chill y’all, just enjoy that he’s actually enjoying the song😩

I dont believe theres anyone in the world who has never heard this song by now

Damn man, you didn't know the legendary Hip Hop group De La Soul? That's who was rapping.

So glad you loved this one! I got to see this performed live in 2010, with all the real people on stage and animation on the big screen behind them - ABSOLUTELY WILD! You would love a lot of their songs - you've heard Clint Eastwood I hope? They put out a new album this year called Song Machine (I love Desolé personally!), and they'll be doing a livestream concert in just over a week, if you wanna see how they perform! I think they'll have some surprises, they always push the medium~ Gorillaz is said to be "the world's biggest band" - likely because of all the artists they've collaborated with! They're fantastic!

More Gorillaz for sure. You gotta do their songs "Clint Eastwood" and "Do Ya Thing" featuring Andre 3000

It's kinda weird to see 2d's black eyes after having a year of them being white

That background laughter is hauntingly beautiful. It shows their slow descent into madness from societal pressures, and it’s really a timeless song 🤘🏻

One of the most iconic bass lines ever.

Does anyone else feel old when the reacters are like I've never seen this and you jamming to this in highschool. I'm 32 I'm feeling pretty old right now 😂😂😂😂😭😭

“Have y’all ever seen these guys before?” Yeah everyone but you apparently

The mythos for the band "characters" is that the drummer is super-quiet but occationally gets possessed by a kick-ass rap anger-man!

I saw them in concert, it was amazing! The set up was they had projection screens across the stage, they showed the cartoon images on the screens. The real musicians were behind the screens so you could see their silhouettes but they never came out from behind it. They sounded amazing, it was a total experience!

Finally some Gorillaz! "DARE" Is a must.. such a good one!

His next vid is gonna be "First Reaction to Billie Jean, by Michael Jackson"

I remember this song was so insanely popular when it was released that it was being played in like.. football stadiums and on every single radio station and MTV had it on loop for months. man, this is a different world we live in isn't it?

This is the first ever song that Gorillaz fans have heard and will recommend to new people because this song and many others that defines Gorillaz

Feel bad for you if you’re just hearing this, been jamming to it for 15 years

The leader singer is also the lead singer of the band “Blur” Which is a song you should do “Blur - Song 2”

Fell in love with these guys when I was a late teen Soo almost 20yrs ago. And each album is better then the last !

This channel is like taking a nostalgia shot with each video. I remember listening to most of these bands/artists in the early 2000's back in highschool... good times.

MORE GORILLAZ PLEAAAASE!!! I would 100% suggest clint eastwood next or 19-2000!!!

Come on now guys, let's not lie. This is nostalgic

Feel Good Inc. is what got me into the Gorillaz back in 2007.

I love seeing these pure reactions to music I’ve loved my whole if as if I’m showing a good friend. Shout out to you

Pretty sure it's De La Soul rapping, this song brings back some good memories

Gorillaz aren't exactly "rock" music, they are pretty diverse and genre-bending, but a lot of their earlier stuff had a punk rock/old school hip hop feel. they were created by Damon Albarn (frontman for the English band Blur) and Jamie Hewlett (artist and co-creator of Tank Girl comics). Damon and Jamie are the only two permanent members of Gorillaz, with Damon handling the music side of things and Jamie handling all the art and character design. They created a virtual band to comment on the lack of substance of the bands on TV and the radio at the time. Damon is pretty much a musical fucking genius, and has done everything from punk rock/hip hop to classical/orchestral, avant-garde and even an opera. He is the voice behind 2D and produces most of the Gorillaz catalogue, playing guitar, bass, keyboards/pads, and a wide range of other instruments, however he loves to collaborate and work with a huge pool of other artists and close friends, so while they have a sizeable catalogue of their own songs, a lot of Gorillaz music has guest artists making appearances (this is most apparent on one of their latest albums "Humanz"). but remember, "Gorillaz" is only technically Damon and Jamie. a few frequent collaborators are Del the Funky Homosapien (who voices Russell the drummer) and is featured on a couple of their old top tracks from the first album, and De La Soul who rap in this song and are featured in multiple albums across the Gorillaz timeline. you should definitely check out more of them, because the Gorillaz are fucking legendary, and like I said, Damon is a god damn genius. they often have very legendary and respectable guest artists as well. Their first two albums (Gorillaz and Demon Days) are very punk-rock and 90s hip-hopish feeling, but Damon starts to really open up the range once you get to Plastic Beach and The Fall. Whenever Gorillaz tours, it's usually just Damon up on stage on his piano with the live band and chorus, which is usually different each tour and has changed over the years, and whatever guest artists are in the set. The virtual band usually plays on a screen in the background or is incorporated somehow. if you haven't been able to tell by now, Gorillaz are my favourite "band" and Damon is probably my biggest influence in music and in just life, really. they have a song and sound for every mood imaginable, and they've been going strong for a long time. Damon has huge respect in the music industry for being consistently experimental and for producing high quality music, I promise you you will not be disappointed by going through their catalogue. EDIT; Gorillaz can be seen as more of a "collective" than actual band.

“Lining them up like ass cracks” play on words Ass cracks are lines of course But crack is also cocaine, a line of cocaine

I love this song. If I'm ever feeling down about my daily grind, I listen to this song and it picks me up and it tells me to keep going

He should react more to gorillaz especially Clint Eastwood, Dirty Harry or Dare

G: The guys rappin’ are old school legendes De La Soul

Gorillaz used to be a one man band, it’s used to be a guy in a studio recording myself doing every part; sings, bass, guitar, drums, and animations. It used to be all one person then he started having people join the band

Are a group still thankfully, saw them with my then 16 year old kid last summer and she was stoked. So they will live on I think. And in part to the clever animations so they never grow old on line. Thanks for showing different types of music and appreciation for them. Best type of content on the interwebs for sure. :)

The lead of Gorillaz is Damon Albarn before Gorillaz he was also the Singer of the famous British band Blur.

This guy has variety, so many songs to suggest if you like these types of music

Layedbak I've been watching your channel for a good while and surprised to see no reactions to Muse! Their lead singer Matt Bellamy has CRAZY vocals👌🔥

I think it's funny that y'all don't understand that some people don't open up to new music until they're older and that's okay. You don't know what his preference was in his youth.

The rappers in this song are De La Soul, legends in their own right.

BRO “SATURNZ BARZ” Gorillaz u gotta do this one

this was my very first bassline i learned! and it is still satisfying to play it. so friggin smooth^^

that bassline will forever be engraved in my head

loved Gorillaz forever now. Some interesting facts about the group. Since its a cartoon group they can switch out band members and regularly do. In fact the only original members left are the singer/voice of 2D (the blue haired guy with black eyes singing "feel good") and the main cartoonist I believe. However the cartoon characters have always remained the same except for "Noodle" the guitarist (the young one on the windmill island) she has over the years gotten older and is now a grown woman. Because of the cartoon nature of the characters they frequently feature a ton of guest artists and imo lesser known talents and get them exposure. Over the years their albums have covered a WIDE genre, from the early demon days that featured more rap to the now more recent songs which are more pop in nature, for a little bit there they were pretty experimental even. However throughout all of this they have remained an excellent band and continue to be one of my all time greats. Some songs I would recommend would be, clint eastwood, demon days, dirty harry, on melancholy hill, DARE, Saturnz Barz, Stylo, Rock the House and 19-2000. I could go on further but these are some of their best imo. Dont sleep on the Gorillaz man, they are amazing

Gorrilaz doesn't come up that often, but their fans (myself included) are loyal AF. Gorrilaz played this song live on Colbert and Stephen did the rap part live. He did a good job

The rap was done by De La Soul... best known for the hit Me, Myself, & I from the late 80's. RIP David Jude Jolicoeur who you see and hear in the video along with their DJ Mase.

Lowkey this song still hits hard after years of listening to it. Been listening since I was 7 years old and now as a 20 year old man this is still so damn good!!!

You should react to their songs “Clint Eastwood” and “SATURNZ BARZ”!

Gorillaz as far as I know only has 2 permanent members, one who does the music, one who does the visuals.

Fun fact alteast at this time gorillaz consisted of only 2 members the guys singing made the music and the artist and they would just feature only singers

Heard this back when I was 9 and I loved it, the cartoon characters just made it better for someone that age

The song is actually about the commercialization and mass-producing of music. Big-name music isnt about the soul of the music anymore, it is just a factory line of "feel good" music created by big record labels to make money. Gorrilaz don't fit into any pre-designated genres, they don't have a constant sound because the members are always changing and adding their own spin to the sound of Gorillaz, and the idea that there needs to be actual people so they can do concerts and stuff is what drove the creators of Gorrilaz to make them cartoons, to prove that you dont need all that extra to just make good music.

I JUST GOT THIS NOTIF AND I SAW GORILLAZ I'M HYPE And yes I'm first ig

2023 still rocking this shit I love this group and what they do. 80's,90's and the earlier 2000's had some of the best rock and metal ever just a thought

@LayedBakDFR be like "You ever seen these people? Know who they are?" Me: Yeah, it is Damien Albarn of Blur, and the guest stars on this song are De La Soul, DUDE.

Gorillaz ain’t really rock I think they’re their own genre tbh

Gorillaz are sick. The song “Clint Eastwood” 🔥

hands down one of my top tracks ive ever heard!

This song is a perfect definition of what music means. You can literally do anything and make a song that everyone can jam to by doing the smallest or ingenious things.

Can't believe that you've actually never heard the band before let alone the tune 🤯

I haven't heard this song in soooo damn long! Thank you for this 💚💜🖤 The singer for The Gorillaz used to be the singer for the 90s band Blur. You should check out Song 2 by Blur 👌

The singer (Damon Albarn) was part of an other famous British band called Blur.

I love when you said "I'm excited" before that second verse. It's such a great verse and you could feel it coming.

This was nostalgic af... I remember when I was about 5 and we were driving around Vancouver in the summer along the sea while listening to it on the radio. Best memories with this song.

This band is incredibly unique. They’re a UK group but its actually run by 2 people, Damon Albarn (also known as the singer from the UK post-grunge band Blur) who sings all the main parts, writes the instrumentation and lyrics And Jamie Hewlett an illustrator who created the characters, writes the stories that becomes the music videos and co-writes the lyrics. Then they do a lot of guest features on their songs like Trugoy the dove the rapper on this song. Then with live shows they have a giant screen with visuals of the Animated characters playing with Jamie running the visuals and Damon singing along with a live band that plays all the other parts.

Basically what you have there is the musician that defined the 90's with the artist, that defined the 90's. Anyone else well jam with them and they do!

i love your reaction and just your pure love for genuine good music. Love when music can just make you smile and feel soo good

I've seen one of them! Back in the 90s the lead vocalist (Damon Albarn) was in a band called Blur. A good place to start with them would be Charmless Man, Beetlebum, Parklife or Tender. Blur are a rabbit hole themselves lol.

The actual ppl who make the music show themself but also keep a storyline going with the animated characters

Awesome! Glad you liked it. The producer, I believe is Dan the Automator from Handsom Boy Modelling School and Lovage.

I can’t even imagine how “Rock It” would sound in those headphones. Ooooooof

Damon Albarn from a uk indie group called blur in the 90s

One of the greatest songs of all time... This, bittersweet symphony, smells like teen spirit, pumped up kicks... Once in a lifetime typa songs

Thank you for being a great role model to everyone around the world. I love the fact that you have such a broad music interest. I love rock and metal myself. The fact that you have such a healthy reaction to all kinds of music makes me happy. Greeting from Norway.

No life Shaq: Waz good no life gang, it’s ya boi, it’s ya homie, it’s ya, it’s ya Flight: Flight team stand up! CashNasty: YOOoOOO DJ Ghost: Next up; “ “ LayedBak: I’m drinking this water

Back in the old times when this was on fifa. Straight banger.

Great react as always. This a bop 💯💯💯

Gorillaz are fire RIP whoever doesn’t know about them

I'm so glad you're doing Gorillaz, you should do Clint Eastwood by Gorillaz!!

Yep gotta do their track "Clint Eastwood" now you done went down this hole might as well see where it goes.

I’m confused as to how anybody over the age of 10 ain’t heard this song, my bloody nephew knows it and bluds in year 6

This song used to play on VH1 or MTV every morning id be getting ready for school WITH THE VIDEO. So nostalgic bro

What I love about these music reaction videos is that genre no longer exists and people are exploring music as a whole.

I saw them live in London couple years ago and they use to be really secretive about who was behind the character but now they kind of play whilst the animation plays in the backgrounds! Love these guys so much they where way ahead of their time and even now with their new music they'll always pushing the boundaries of the norm which is sick!!!

My absolute favorite part of ANY Feel Good Inc. music video reaction is right about here 6:04 for the next 8-10 seconds, because Murdoc's chaos invokes the best reactions ever.

I love that you have such an open musical palette

On Melancholy Hill is one of their best tracks Clint Eastwood you gotta hear How Far? for a taste of their newer stuff

I’m in to the hip hop / grime scene but if u hear this band especially in the car Im telling u now u already breaking the speed limit (bloc party) (banquet)

Dude this brought back *NOSTALGIA!* I haven't heard in in 6 years, I didn't know the name! Thank you!

Bro 2000s songs were something else.
