Let me fill you in on some other minor details.<br /><br />1. For 2011, Damon Albarn is apparently on break from Gorillaz, work on his main band, The Good, The Bad, and the Queen. Or something like that.<br />2. Plastic Beach itself is the farthest point from any landmass on Earth.<br />3. Sometime in Phase 3, Murdoc apparently found a copy of a book called "Plastic Beach," explaining everything in life from the Big Bang to today. There are 13 chapters, most of which contain Murdoc's ancestors, stirring up trouble or witnessing it. Murdoc eventually gets to Chapter 12, where it details his arrival to Plastic Beach and everything he's done there. However, Chapter 13 is blank, referencing that the future is unknown.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278920621268583096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211017919121163786.post-581609886534449152011-06-25T13:14:40.147-07:002011-06-25T13:14:40.147-07:00In Phase 3, Murdoc goes and finds everyone all ove...In Phase 3, Murdoc goes and finds everyone all over again to piece to band together. However, he only has luck with 2D. In the "Ident" video series, you will see Murdoc on a boat with plenty of money and champagne. He is celebrating an unknown event, when he is attacked by a sniper. He escapes, but only barely. In Russel's ident, you see him marching on a dock and jumping into the ocean, which becomes very important later. In 2D's Ident, he is in his room in Kong Studios, where he is gassed. He is put in a briefcase, and wakes up on Plastic Beach. So, what Murdoc has done in these is...<br />1. Captured 2D<br />2. Burnt Kong Studios for insurance money (he is in debt and wanted by international police)<br />3. About Russel: He couldn't find him, but he programmed a drum beat, which would "sound better anyway," according to Murdoc.<br />4. About Noodle: Unknown, but he doesn't find her.<br /><br />So, during the beginning of Plastic Beach, or Phase 3, Murdoc builds a robot version of Noodle, now called Cyborg Noodle. He did this by collecting Noodle's DNA from the El Mañana wreckage. Also, as for 2D, Murdoc treats him like a slave. He imprisons him on the bottom of Plastic Beach, and Murdoc even hires a whale to watch 2D. Now, 2D is DEATHLY afraid of whales, and this makes him officially hate Murdoc. Hate, hate.<br /><br />On Russel, when he jumped into the water, his goal apparently was to swim to Plastic Beach. On his way, he ate so much waste and garbage that his size grew to enormous lengths. He becomes a living giant.<br /><br />As for Noodle, we first meet her in Phase 3 in "On Melancholy Hill." She is escaping pirates, possibly brought on by her affiliation with Gorillaz or because Murdoc sent them. She is partially saved by Russel, who picks her up, and she rides on his head to Plastic Beach.<br /><br />As for the three... "connecting" videos, which are:<br />1st: Stylo<br />2nd: On Melancholy Hill<br />3rd: Doncamatic (I think I spelled it wrong, and I might also be wrong on the 3rd video altogether.)<br />I cannot give you logic behind them. It appears as if they are being chased in Stylo, and in On Melancholy Hill, it seems like these are the submarines of celebrities and co-contributers to the actual album. Can't provide much other details here.<br /><br />RHINESTONE EYES VIDEO:<br />Most important is the "Rhinestone Eyes" storyboard. It is a partial video, creating and answering questions at the same time. The Boogie Man (the monster seen taking down the manatee in "On Melancholy Hill"), is on top of the Plastic Beach. Cyborg Noodle engages him, and he jumps away from the island on to some kind of pirate ship, that can be seen all over the iTunes LP copy in Plastic Beach. There is a flashback, of some sort of deal that Murdoc tricked the Boogie Man into. Both have some sort of background, but you can't tell what.<br /><br />The Boogie Man then brings on some kind of army of the undead, but not zombies. You can't tell from the hand-drawn pictures. They continue fighting, along with some of the people who tagged along with Murdoc in submarines in "On Melancholy Hill." All of a sudden, Russel jumps up out of the water and swats down all the planes, and a lot of other enemy vehicles. He then opens his mouth, which contains Noodle. The video ends with Noodle glaring at Cyborg Noodle, leaving all of us hanging in dreaded suspense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278920621268583096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211017919121163786.post-16291232846105971072011-06-25T13:13:35.186-07:002011-06-25T13:13:35.186-07:00In Phase 2, Murdoc pulls the band back together, a...In Phase 2, Murdoc pulls the band back together, and finds them around from all over the place. Noodle had been writing several songs. The songs Noodle had written later became Demon Days, which Murdoc later tried to credit himself with, and discredit Noodle.<br /><br />Noodle has recovered her memories and several abilities, starts having nightmares due to the memories, and always seeks out 2D to help her sleep and calm down. She was actually a Japanese super soldier, and someone who was working on her experiment saved her by shipping her to the Gorillaz when they put the ad in the paper.<br /><br />In the progress of Demon Days... there were several discrepancies, and Murdoc was in trouble with the law. He is an outlaw at this point, and was very tense. In the videos, there is Feel Good Inc., and all the others, but I only know logic behind El Mañana.<br /><br />In the "El Mañana Conspiracy," what allegedly happened was that Murdoc had this person who was going to be in Noodle's place in the band, and he was angry and was going to perform a horrible deed to Gorillaz. Murdoc struck a deal with him that they would get rid of Noodle in a music video. On the windmill, this person (I think his name was Jimmy something) would be in the windmill, and would jump out, shoot Noodle, and ditch before the windmill crashed. However, little did Jimmy know, that Murdoc actually was a good little angel this time. He actually was working with Noodle, and said that if she would go with this music video, then she could get a break from the band, as she had wanted. So, in the end, Jimmy gets locked in the windmill, and can't escape. Noodle actually had a parachute and was able to escape the wreckage. After that, she deserted, causing 2D and Russel to panic, and the band fell apart... again.<br /><br />Now, a seldom known part is that Noodle apparently came back to Kong Studios after El Mañana, the building featured in most of the "Gorillaz" album music videos. On Gorillaz.com, for a short time, you could actually tour the studio. In Noodle's room, her voice was once reported coming from a radio, calling for help. The unofficial story is that demons were coming to capture Murdoc and take him to hell, but they were confused. Either that, or they took Noodle as a hostage. Anyways, Noodle was dragged into hell, and Murdoc (again) decided to have a heart and he went in and rescued Noodle. This "rescue" during the transition from Phase 2 to Phase 3.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278920621268583096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-211017919121163786.post-73340814664453234302011-06-25T13:12:55.449-07:002011-06-25T13:12:55.449-07:00Well, Phase 1 is basically Murdoc gathering eveyon...Well, Phase 1 is basically Murdoc gathering eveyone to start the band, and the few misadventures they had.<br /><br />It starts off with Murdoc's criminal record, where he is the exact same way he is now. He starts off by ram-raiding a music store where Stuart (Tuss)Pot* is working (Stuart Tusspot is 2D's real name, but he had it legally changed to Stuart Pot). He hits 2D, and robs the store. He gets caught, and has to take care of the vegetated 2D. In the crash, the bumper of the car hit his eye, causing him to have his signature "black" eye, called an 8-ball fracture. 2D is basically a zombie, and he can't even take care of himself.<br /><br />Later, Murdoc was showing off to some women in a stupidly planned stunt in the Geep. He failed, and sent 2D flying out of the car. He hits the curb, and wakes up out of his vegetated state. His other eye also gets hit, and has an 8-ball fracture, causing both eyes to become black. He isn't blind, however. But 2D got his name. It came from him after the his name from the two accidents with the eyes. It's about "two dents" in his eyes, hence 2D.<br /><br />Russel is the one I don't know much about, but Murdoc picked him up off a school where Russel was failing after "the accident." What happened was that Russel was hanging with a lot of his friends, when a gang came and killed everyone except for Russel. Russ was traumatized, and he became possessed by Del (one of his killed friends), the ghost you will see in the "Clint Eastwood" and "Rock the House" videos. (Del was exorcized from Russel in Demon Days. Ironic.)<br /><br />After the three of them came together, they put an ad in the newspaper for a guitarist, and they received a package in the mail. When they opened it, there was a girl who only spoke Japanese, and could play a rocking guitar solo. The only English word she could say was noodle, hence her name now, Noodle.<br /><br />I can't really piece anything up after that... there were some disagreements, and they broke up. Not sure why.

I'm a harccore Gorillaz fan too, and more than 1/2 of this stuff is in wrong order or completely wrong.<br /><br />For example, the entire band is imagined up. The true mastermind behind it is Damon Albarn, with Jamie Hewlett not far behind.<br /><br />Also, the reason they left Kong Studios is because Murdoc burned it down for insurance money so he could pay off debts and find a new home.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11278920621268583096noreply@blogger.com
