[cauthoncrazy]

@drunkenstooge Yea and this is a horrible camera angle.

[smedley]

Who would you rather be stuck next to on a plane? Graham or the other one?

[cnhappy1]

@smedley Do you mean Damon Albarn when referring to "the other one"?

[smedley]

@cnhappy1 is that his name?

[cnhappy1]

@smedley Yes sir/ma'am it is!

Either that or "genius-I'd-like-to-clone". :p

[fuzzybuni]

@smedley Whoa, hahaha. That's funny how you worded that.

[Tilly236]

I'd like to know who Graham's dentist is - that guy has the best teeth!

[theykilledthemusic]

Damon keeps touching his crotch area, haha love it!

[techiychucho]

so cute Graham...

[milkncookiesluv]

loving 2:25 adorable Graham!

[adamthehousecat]

Blur are more like the beatles than oasis will ever be. there albums are inventive, eclectic, and inspired. each one stands on its own. oasis had 1 really good album, then a bunch of ok albums

[schraubeee12]

why does everyone need to reffer to oasis as soon as a blur video is posted?

if you like blur comment here if you like oasis comment on one of their vids.

i love blur hence i am posting udner the right vid ;). i can't wait for a new album to come out !

[OasisDublin]

not gooner happen mate

[vickimmanuel]

@schraubeee12

I agree, and for the people who dislike Blur so much ,why are you always watching blur posted videos. watch Oasis vids

[Kaaaaaattiiee]

Blur are God!!!!!!!!

[nigellarose]

Yes Damon is GORGEOUS and even if he smokes it wouldn't be reason for kicking him out of bed lol!

[steenalynn]

holy crap, damon.

[twinkisparkle]

Who deleted my textmessage here und why?

[saxengee]

I agree... who gives a fuck if they're old.. I was never into the britpop thing anyway,,, but I respeKt these guys for the music they make... & that alone...... :-)

[hullabaloo101]

people, what's going on with you? it's interview with most talented artists ever and you write that Damon smokes that it's bad for him and Graham drinks RedBull??

Damon is a musician, not a fuckin model

It's interview about music, not about heath. You can see that two magnificent guys togheter first time for few years so enjoy that it's alright between them, not that Damon smokes and it's make him looks older

[nigellarose]

I wish he didn't smoke.....he is a singer after all. As for his looks, he looks better now than when he was younger. His talent is unquestionable however.

[redbeaver]

blur are the most talented artists ever?

[JoshMufc101]

most talented artists ever!!! there shit, any one who writes boys who like girls who like boys what look like girls is NOT a musician

[hullabaloo101]

You probably don't know that Blur wrote more than one song (Girls&Boys), if you did, you would write such bollocks. Write "BLUR" in youtube researcher you can find out that they have a lot of great singles.

[JoshMufc101]

oh course i no the lyrical masterpiece of parklife and country house. their shite pete doherty is 10x better

[hullabaloo101]

that why Graham Coxon recorded an album with Doherty.

really, I got my right you got yours...

[Shoopdelaang]

I'm sick of people saying that blur are shit just because of one song, and besides its lyrics are underrated and misunderstood.

blur= the greatest british band from the 90s, at least

[JoshMufc101]

oasis dick on blur, lol they had a couple good hits but, no bands anywhere in the world in 90's could compare with oasis

[Shoopdelaang]

ok, I'll let you think that. But beside blur and oasis there were other bands like radiohead, which is still one of the greatest and kicks Oasis ass

[JoshMufc101]

no oasis are better than any band in the 90's. radiohead are so mediocre i really don't see the appeal of them, creep is shit, the libertines are a quality band too :)

[Shoopdelaang]

you are SO clueless

[JoshMufc101]

why? because i don't like a shity brit-pop band of the 90's they have in my opinion 4 good songs, oasis 15. oasis are alot better, blur havn't sold an album outside the uk

[Shoopdelaang]

ok, there's nothing more stupid than saying a band is good o bad because of how many albums it sold

i mean, that hannah montana girl has sold million of albums and we both know she is pure shit.

if oasis have 15 good songs is because they are like the same song

[JoshMufc101]

ok listen to i'm outta time or wonderwall. then shock of the lightning and hindu times then say their the same. know, i didn't argue how many albums, i said blur havn't sold an album outside the uk. oasis have. why don't you liisten to the fantastic lyrics of "boys & girls" and the cheesy repetitive background tune. blur are a good band, oasis are great

[Shoopdelaang]

just for your information, i've listened to all of oasis albums, so I'm not ignorant of their work, i know what i'm saying. I think you didn't listen to all of blur's albums, if you are stuck with the girls & boys lyrics.

[JoshMufc101]

err parklife is the same, and country house. meaning less cheesy pop, with a repatitive tune

[theykilledthemusic]

too bad oasis are no more. blur on the other hand, are back!

[twinkisparkle]

Why are they so nervous and why are all the comments posted on this page so mean ? I' m sure a little bit of sports makes them look like 1999!

[Himalayahobo]

twinkisparkle

"Why are they so nervous"

Well Graham used to be totally dependant on alcohol for confidence but apparantly no longer drinks which is probably why he seems rather on edge these days..That and he is clutching a clammy little red bull which wont help matters..Quality guy

[rockomundo]

10 years can really screw a person phisically( belive me).

[90sCOMEback]

smoking has definitely aged him faster than he should have, thats fair to say. its to bad

[flyingtrashbin]

i'm drinking red bull all the way either

[nigellarose]

Don't be so defensive! Smoking is bad for your health.....and makes you smell!

[Lysimachus]

I'd still want to kiss Damon.

[nigellarose]

I think he looks gorgeous....better now he's 'old' - just wish he wasn't smoking!

[DanniCollaterali76]

Damon reminds of Tim from the Office (UK) in this Clip ;)

[oscarkev190]

very good spot :)

[morganscunt]

Does anyone else remember the days before NME was ruled by fucking hair care products ?

[minily]

Every time I see Graham with his red bull... all I can think of is bad breath... is that normal!?

They were unbelievable at Hyde Park! Long live Blur!!!

[faoutoftime]

i love damon and yes he does look old but that´s normal he´s 41!!! and he is genius so it doesn´t matter how does he look he´s still hot in every sense and he rocked hyde park much more than other "young" rockers

[nieanna]

did no one else notice damon's hand on his crotch the whole time

[popptart4]

Damon you were SO FUCKING HOTT HOT HOT back in the 90's! i wish hot guys from old bands didnt get old (not saying hes ugly.. he just ....oldened)

[Westsummer]

Damon é um máximo! adoro este gajo...

[turrican1024]

hes got old quick

[haillexi]

I think Damon still looks foxy and Graham still looks cute.

Actually, Damon looks a lot better than he did a couple years ago (just my opinoin).

Anyway- this is so totally awesome. VIVA LA BLUR

[mayoblack17]

I love Graham!!!

[BluEjt8]

he's 41 it is normal.

[bbbbbbasta]

yeah, it is normal. But his face seems totally changed, if you compare his appereances in mid 90s videos with this one you can hardly recognise is the same person...

[RahenyBohs]

damon albarn has aged terribly since the mid 90s, when he looked fairly young, that whats smoking does to you people

[cactaceous]

Who cares what he looks like as long as he keeps making incredibly interesting music, and he is in his 40's. People tend to age.

[kingcone17]

poor old graham hardly gets a word in!!hahaha

[jo7dan118]

my god lol why should you care what they look like

look at the pixies theyre old an not in great shape but loads of people love them for theyre music

[solcitto]

omg!!!! i am shocked to see them together again!!!! so so so happy

[indoorpirate]

OMG, Graham's so sexy!!

I like the way that Graham smiled and looked at Damon. :)

[Hathor16]

Damon looks so old!!!

[velvetrevolution07]

so are you compared to pictures 15 years ago!

[starshaped41]

Come on guys!Damon is still sexy and lovely!You all have to wish to look as good as he looks at this age!

[LittleMissJoky]

Graham looks sooo sexy...and drinking Red Bull, good boy *gives-cookie*

....but....

Damon....Damon looks good, but...hm... I don´t know...

[SirHawkeyeWho]

yay graham is back =]]]]

[faustronoma]

woow... damon is... damn he is so old! WTF happend to him O.o!!!

[DANCINGKLAUS]

lol ,,,he`s 40 years old!

[CircaSV81]

yea but he's a sexy 40 year old

[EuchridEucrow1]

See that thing he's smoking.

Twenty years of that will do it.

[bigbluecampervan]

aaww...graham, looks excactly the same as he did 15 years ago. Can't say the same about Damon, but I still love him xxxxx

[StrangeSiliconWorld]

i think graham looks better than when he was young

[matigrinberg]

what s wrong with Damon ´s face? i guess it s not just a matter of age

[666rocko]

possibley swet? he aint that old anyway

[matigrinberg]

no . he looks like he has been through a bad surgery

[SSJ2Killua]

At the start in particular, he looks as hiiiigh as hell.

[alisa192000]

I love themmmmmmmmmmmm

[NatsLee83]

Woo Hoo!!!

I Love Blur!!!!!!!

[norchwood78]

hahah graham with his red bull.

[joemunkey30]

lol

[thehottestmailbox]

whats the title song of the video? plz very quick response, very important :D

[dayuponday]

the one at the beginning?

is austere-the joy formidable

[ricemanpliskin]

no way in hell Damon would get plastic surgery!

[Inmyclothes]

Damon still looks amazing!! What is he using??? Vitamin E cream no doubt...cocoa butter???

[luisalonsoreyes]

chale, damon albarn ya dio el viejazo, aun asi sigue rockeando.

Blur 4evaaaaa!!!!!

[FiReFly19806]

hes still the same old albarn but yeah he looks like hes got plastic surgery or alot of makeup on

[placebo150]

damon seems to me mature and not old

[safetill12]

Damon have you been naughty and gone to get some plastic surgery?

[Sandmaster26]

To be fair he's 41 years old, and he looks pretty good for that. How old do you expect him to look? 25 still? Look around you at normal people who aren't celebrities of the same age & see a fine array of bald heads & beer guts, such is the real world.

[moyno85]

holy shit, time has not been kind to poor Damon. Sad too see him looking aged. God I miss the 90s haha

[MirreMajs]

I actually think he looks great!

[rosieeee89]

Christ, Graham looks the same as he did in the 1990s! He hasn't aged at all!

[SymmetryTwins]

Does anybody know what is the name of song which is playing on the beggining?))

[4080tomalex]

its a band called the Joy Formidable! there fucking amazing! check em out! u can down;lload there album fr free from there website! enjoy!

[Pirulety]

It's strange, when I was 12, I listened to The Universal, I loved It, I had the neccesity of listening to it, it was magic.

Now I'm 25, and they still make me feel that in some point I'm connected with them. I don't know if this is understable.

Love Blur, forever.

Greetings from Spain, I'd like to go to the UK and see them, it's crazy, but, I know I wouldn regret. Never.

[dayuponday]

haha me too, when i was 7 i listened to coffee & tv, but i didn't notice that they were blur until now, and i love them

about going to UK i would like too, but i'm from mexico, it's a little bit more difficult but i don't care :D

[Pirulety]

Jejeje, pues casi que podemos hablar en español... a veri si sacan pronto disco y pasan por nuestros países.... un saludo.

[n00dlesbff314]

He's fiddling with his belt buckle. Damon, you should quit smoking...but I love you. You and graham are soooooooooo amazing and still the sexiest!

[itschie69]

name of the song in the beginning?

[HawaiianTigerlily]

HAHA HA ! THe part where Graham sticks the entire top of the Red bull can in his mouth as sort of a nervous twitch. He is hilarious. If they don't come to the USA, I am going to have to go on Prozac.

[monosound81]

I know!!! Seriously!!! They have to make a stop in Toronto. I never saw them back in the day and always had the chance but I was too fucking stupid to get a ticket.

[HawaiianTigerlily]

As far as smoking, drinking...they can do whatever the heck they want...just like any other human on the planet. Who are we to judge or make comments. All I know is I love their music both collectively and independently. They are wonderful musicians and I hope they add more dates to their tour!!!!!!!!

[tinakohf]

well, smoking is not good for his vocals.

[HawaiianTigerlily]

Yes, how dare they?! It should be in their contracts that they stay young forever and look monumentally beautiful for all time, all for our voyeuristic pleasure. They're human and they age just like us, you moron. It's called reality.

[uktah]

Damon is FREAKIN GORGEOUS

[lazybones7]

Damon looks so old and fat!!! I can't believe it

Graham looks as good as 15 years ago though

[Kryannon]

people forget that these are people just like us!!!

[lambshanks08]

Damon please dont listen to the haters. Still fly as hell, all lookin like a man and shizz.

[smorgies1994]

he should quite smoking, it will age him bad and harm his voice. I love his whistle in his voice it's so cute. Is he married?????

[baboonah]

did damon put make up?

[dahanediimlanben]

damon gobek yapmışş gobeğine kurban olurum senn bea her turlu şahane şarap gibi mubarek

[Circuitboardsoul]

fuck me, boy george has let himself go!

[thebeatlesandoasis05]

Damon is getting fat and old looking :( noooo

[EuchridEucrow1]

What does Coxon say at 2:48?

You people and your friggin accents!!

[TheeReturn]

I think its 'Ah, we're gonna do that now...Ok'. It's no the accent its just he mumbles.

[einbischen]

Damon looks like crap... and kinda looks like he has had some surgical retouches near the eyes.

[MySeif2282]

Things clearly haven't changed much since Blur were last a band. Graham is just as weird here as he used to be. You would have thought he might have changed and matured a bit and be slightly differnt now, at the age of 39, compared to his 20's but he is still just as odd. It is difficult for him to speak publicly without pulling silly faces, smirking at all the wrong moments, and just generally acing odd. Damon does that too normally but seems a bit nervous here. Damon smoking indoors - naughty!

[MisChanandlerBong]

damon looks lovely in here.

so he plays with his belt buckle a bitt, so what...??? & graham looks amazing ! just amazing !!! he aged so well you can never tell he's 40. but he always looked 10 years younger than he's real age so im not shocked.

great performance leds.

you rock !!!

[FanMadeProductions]

whats the song in the background at the beginning?

[krazorspoon]

Jeez, Damon. Get your pinkie out of your pants.

Graham's so cute for being 39 years old!! AH!

[u6j65]

Damon is pissed again i rek, Graham has aged alot better than Damon, and i thought he was the Alci????

[krazorspoon]

idk what Alci is.

Yeah, Damon's got a stressed face and you can tell he's lived an emotional life. JK idk what I'm talking about !! WHOOT DAMON! WHOOT GORILLAZ!

[u6j65]

alcoholic

[krazorspoon]

Who are you thinkin' to be an alcoholic? Damon or Graham?? Hmm...

[u6j65]

well Graham was an alcoholic, thats wot coffee and tv was all about but theyve all been piss heads back in the day check out the starshaped dvd, they love gettin on it, lol. Think Graham has quit now tho, hence Damon has defo been drinking prior to this interview.

[krazorspoon]

Hmm... well, I am planing to watch Starshaped with a friend of mine some day.... I see how you can say that...

Also: Damon's funny with his anti-tooth! I wonder how that happened....

[sadeyez72]

40 years, and still very cute! : )

[annagio71]

I agree 100%, Graham looks fantastic! He should send me his secret (a sort of Dorian Gray???) !!!

[pickemallayyye]

he fiddles with his belt buckle, hehe

[EuchridEucrow1]

Is it just me or is Albarn looking a little worse for wear here?

Perhaps he's just tired.

[pyenapple]

It's called aging, it's related to the fact that time moves from past into the future. You should look into it.

[WlNDAGO]

see you at hyde darlings...and around the forum!

[adriannaa19]

lol graham 2:25

[blrgrl]

What is Graham saying between 2:48 - 2:50??

[beckyisageek]

whats the song at the begining of this??

[dracaking403]

gorillaz please come back! lol

[RosieB16]

They both look so good!

I'm so excited to see them this July ^^

woo :)

[kellie2377]

Is it wrong to still adore Graham Coxon the way i do even after 15 years?, lol. x

[PatrikPatrik1]

haven´t seen Damon smoking this much since..ever. Every interview these days he´s having one. Odd at that age, thought it´d be Alex doing it ´till the end.
