[sunmoonstars415]

I love the electrictrictric part live so much.

[velvetdream88]

amazing, amazing, amazing, and pretty good as well!!

[mollyty]

DAMON ALBARN, Y U NOT COME TO SOUTHAMERICA

[ThemOldaBoys]

That downward siren sounds so fronking swell at the chorus. That needs to always be that loud.

[MrDomino971]

they sound the same live he's even got the Electric sound in his voice to it, i love it!!!!

[anniemoore2000]

taht YOU made with plastic powers !!!!

BEST BAND EVER!!!!

[dct4eva]

I would have killed to see this live. Ugh. So amazing.

[DJBAZZTheOneAndOnly]

Gorillaz = Best band ever fuckin conceived

[SPLHCBbassist]

can't take my eyes off mick and paul. so badass.

[pedro55rules]

they sound different because they don't use effects live

[megostor]

@CornellMedia Many stars sound different Live

[LosMustaches]

@megostor I know that, But the point to my statement is that They Still sound,unbelievebly Amazing

[megostor]

@LosMustaches Yep they do indeed =3 ----- =D

[CornellMedia]

He may sound Different Live,

But The Music Is still Unbelievable.

[SPINO495]

THAT SOUNDS AT 0:10 IS A SIREN! A FIRETRUCK SIREN!

[SPINO495]

1:47 bombs dropping during world war 2 someone get me a clip of bombs dropping during world war 2 and play this song...

[gethind72]

love the music which is on @0.10

[SPINO495]

@gethind72 i think its a fire truck siren...

[gethind72]

@SPINO495 fucking class ahah

[EkaterinaItsMePedro]

mmmmmoney

[slimjimmyg]

Imagine Jeff Wootton going from this to Beady Eye, jayzus! This is unreal!

[cactaceous]

@slimjimmyg Funny, I just saw the Beady Eye performance a few minutes ago. So embarrassing. Same show. Talents worlds opposed. Who won the 90's talent contest? We shouldn't even deal with such a petty competition but... Beady Eye sucks, really badly, Noel's new single sucks, what, is he 70 now writing that grandpa crap? Damon, god bless him. It's like it comes non rubbish approved. Everything. Just fresh. Musically. Interesting. Not innovative but inventive & interesting. Gallagher's. Not so.

[slimjimmyg]

@cactaceous Hear hear! Take it you're a Blur fan too? I don't think Damon's ever really put a foot wrong, well, apart from Leisure!

[cactaceous]

@slimjimmyg I don't think Leisure is that bad.

[slimjimmyg]

@cactaceous It has it's moments, "Sing" is genius, "there's no other way", "she's so high". As a whole though it ain't great.

[DrMantecol]

I love you Gorillaz...

[squeezeslemons]

He messed up the lyrics, but he's still a boss.

[IvanIsai1]

@squeezeslemons He didn't messed up, he always do that, he likes to play a bit with the lyrics, and there isn't anybody with more of a right to do so, after all he wrote the whole thing.

[Atheneastro]

That's funny. He went into close-up when Cyborg Noodle did.

[Vinegarstroke]

They have such explosive drums when they play live.. It's freakin' amazing..

[jpcod5]

0:10 what instrument(s) make that sound?!??????

[pappabuljo]

@jpcod5 That is cyborg noodle playing a badly tuned guitar.

[TozWozEar]

David Letterman looks so wimpy standing on a stage with Damon Albarn and half the Clash. Good songs.

[DrMantecol]

@TozWozEar Totally

[ScaryMonsters31]

I had never thought that we could be so badsass just by singing

[MisterChef11]

awsome song but its sucks in live.. =/

[Melferas]

@MisterChef11 It doesn't suck ._. 340 people doesn't agree with you, so "maybe" (sure) you're wrong ._. I love both versions :3

[audimishra]

download

[ThemOldaBoys]

My foot was still tapping after they ended.

[DetonatingPasta]

1:11 Isn't it "Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away" ?

[HOWLERking]

@DetonatingPasta Live doesnt always need same lyrics now do they?

[NaltaLife]

@DetonatingPasta im gonna assume Damon knows his own lyrics?

He tends to take poetic freedom with his own poetry

[NamesROverated]

@DetonatingPasta yeah, but it's a live show, it's when it's okay to improvise.

[ejicon]

Drummer is on it in this song!

[BigDog9961]

"I cant see now, taxi she said. The whole sky, turned to red" fucking epic!!

[ApansOst]

@BigDog9961 genius!

[JK10050]

Fuck yeah!



[BlackLink27]

Heh, the first thing they tried to play was Clint Eastwood.

[Narmina46]

look at those girls from the orchestra at 1:09, they move kinda funny:D

[remaftp]

Makes sense that he'd have 2 members of the Clash in his band now. The Gorillaz concept always felt like it was inspired by The Clash's "fuck it, anything goes" attitude they had on Sandinista to me.

[RockStarIsland2010]

WOW did not imagine him to look like that but he looks good

[DreaVMunster]

@RockStarIsland2010 are you talking about Damon Albarn? Becuase if you think he looks good here, you should see him back when he was in Blur!!

[HREsama]

YES

YES FUCK YES!

[swaggervitamins]

this song is wird as fuck but that makes it ill

[WildSurrender]

YEEEAAA!!! Go GORILLAZ!!!

[jamellum]

Aw man, that video of images on the screen must have been the early workings of the music video for this song...which has had some difficulty being made thanks to the recording company not funding it. Come on Albarn, take a page from Michael Jackson and fund the music video yourself! This looks like it could be the best music video from Plastic Beach.

[rudyg323]

Excellent performance. THey are are good live or not

[2Dswife459]

Damon is a crazy man <3 I love him soo much<333

[kellyLv2]

i only watched this episode to see the gorillaz...sorry dave lol :3

[MiasmaParadise]

@kellyLv2 don't worry we all did lol, i can say the same

[leninhitlerjuanpablo]

I want the official video!

[jennobunz]

ehhh i am obsessed with this song right now, but i dont like it live :/

[heartsforcats]

:P I don't like them live......just my opinion people!

[Beyond82094]

@heartsforcats perfectly understandable

[retarteddogseathawks]

best performance by The Gorilliaz

[lilasam44]

That song is so desparatly intense and real and powerfull!! It takes you away!! on somewhere else or far enough to see where we hardly survive in a unhuman world!!wonderful master peace with genius lovely Damon on board!!!Peace to all the fellows!!

[Wiik117]

so awesome 

[eraserheadSH]

poor bassist got his strap constantly falling down.

[zach4i]

alright who's the douche bag who clicked dislike?

[BehindTheSpiderEyes]

This song has been my theme for weeks.

[chemx23]

to fuckn cool

[harding16]

Does he get the lyrics wrong?

[Malic430]

@harding16 ive seen in a few other live videos that he switches the 'Taxi' lines around

[NoobTheShow24]

@harding16 He was probably high.

[busyak]

@NoobTheShow24 he was tripping in astronomical proportions, one can easily tell

[Alucard767676]

@NoobTheShow24 Change the often during live shows even Blur he did it.

[busyak]

@harding16 he did it the same way at glastonubury and a few other lives i've seen. perhaps he prefers it this way but decided to change it after the record's release or smtn. but he was high, that's a fact

[sonamberlove1]

who the hell is that guy with 2D's voice coming out of his mouth?... Its fucking Damon Albarn.

[AmericaAguila7]

just tha best song eva besidez feel good inc ( numba 4 )

[GradeSchoolRecords]

one person took there anger out on this video because they missed the live internet concert on letterman

[manoarch]

masterpiece

[Squinal]

3:27 OHHHHH SHIIIIT!

[MrSosa15]

Oh shit look it's 2D xD

[WoWDemondays]

The violinist with the blonde hair reminds me of Sam from iCarly for some reason.

[TheGreystoneGang]

Demon Days > Plastic Beach (Still Great) > Gorillaz

[banannalise86]

I think he looks a lot like James Dean...

[suicidemonkey12]

this version sounds slightly better than the original cuz of the acoustics

[Jamieisastar]

I think they should have kept their characters, that would have been bad-ass. But animated or not they still rock!

[jtwhite13]

What kind of mic is he using? I really want one, it has a cool sound.

[failman9]

i find the violinists bombing back and forth hilarious.

[lionslicer9999]

wow you can actually see them... thats a first.. usually they are behind screens.

[Mrsilenciobackgammon]

Who the fuck sells 15 million albums in this day and age? Cheers to them. Demon Days is a masterpiece, I'm finding Plastic Beach harder to get into, but that's just me.

[greendaythebeatles]

Anyone notice that Damon screwed up his own lyrics? He's supposed to say "Your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away" the 1st time, not "Your love's like rhinestones, falling from the sky".

[Tusspot1]

@greendaythebeatles in most of their live shows he messes up his lyrics for the fun of it

[mewjessica1777]

@greendaythebeatles he did that a couple times in other songs like feel good inc.

[johnkeith21]

@greendaythebeatles we don't give a shit. he's so badass

[pinkpuppy1984]

Damn, this song is bangin! Sick beats!

[AthenaShuffle]

Honestly i do agree with Taysci, but at the same time, i wish they had kept their identity a secret haha.

[classicbritpop]

First time I wasn't to cean on plastic beach but after hearing it more I like it' more, I still don't think it is as good as the first two

[morjohnny540]

@classicbritpop

did you mean not to Kean on plastic beach? or you havent seen plastic beach(thats how u spelled it) or just reminiscent like everyone else. good god what a bunch an narcicist people we youtubers are. like it or move on.

[junkman134]

what happened to russel?

[FakeFlourescentSkies]

thats what rockstars do when theyre being introduced on a talkshow

[pwdrthashiz]

wtf is that bass player doing?

[yhit7r]

3:31 O-ganizumu.

[yhit7r]

Damon is FREAKIN HOT!!!!

[lachrymal21]

@yhit7r I think his looks left a long time ago.

[LuvLesha]

@lachrymal21 If you didn't know him from his Blur days, he is still handsome...he was just too good looking before and people can't stop comparing:(

[lachrymal21]

@LuvLesha Just my opinion. It smells I know and yes I remember Blur.

[MisterBankz]

LOL @ the beginning

[troyape]

I saw them recently in NYC at the Garden..they are phenomenol. This song drives me over the edge...I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[troyape]

I saw them recently in NYC at the Garden..they are phenomenol. This sound drives me over the edge...I LOVE IT!!!!!!

[235T1NGR4Y23]

For me it's Plastic Beach > Demon Days > S/T

[strummer2123]

Wow...Paul Simonon and Mick Jones!! :) They look very nice. I dont like Gorillaz, but this song sounds great. Look Damon´s face! 0:15

[OnimeNoKy0]

god that song rocksssssssssss i could lsn to it a 100time i never get enogh

[SuperPieguy23]

the guy stuffed up alot of the lyrics

[toscaism]

@SuperPieguy23 they are his lyrics to stuff

[pinkpuppy1984]

Damon Albarn is a freaking genius!!!

[3waystopcock]

@pinkpuppy1984

cant wait to see what the project with him and flea turns out!

[pinkpuppy1984]

@3waystopcock That's gonna be so f**king awesome!!

[knuxchaotix]

goosebumps man! can't wait 8 days until they're in VANCOUVER! man love this song :D

[gatoazul7]

This is the coolest video I've seen in a long long time! This guys are totally freaking cool.!!!!!!!!!!

[Meerez01]

Yeah, it's JUST Paul Simonon to his left and Mick Jones to his right. It's cool. (!) Damon is one talented musician. And my hero for getting those two recording AND touring together.

[BlackLink27]

@Meerez01 IT's just The Clash. No big deal.

[Imal00ter20]

@BlackLink27 'Just The Clash' *laugh*

[ClashAce]

Yes, Jones and Simonon, The Clash legends, enlisted to appease Damon Albarns ego.

[Erika16Rosario]

no era "your rhinestone eyes are like factories far away"?

[redeigrezzi]

is that Paul SImonon and Mick fucking Jones????

[rkukentertainment]

@redeigrezzi Indeed it is, fresh from The Clash.

[serotone9]

That bassline is badass! Just like he was rocking it in the Clash.

[toymachine11861]

thanks for posting this dude. fuck Vevo and there bullshit! trying to get me to watch this on there website...

[fresapaletosa]

who is singing? damon albarn?

[TheFailiureChannel]

@fresapaletosa

No, Mr. T

[himitsunoryu]

@TheFailiureChannel I'd like to see that!xD

[TheFailiureChannel]

@himitsunoryu

Lol

[bukayo41784]

good shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit!!!!­!!!

[noteat123]

damn there good

[ronichii]

FANTASTISH! XD

[etobias86]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE THIS SONG!!!!! Definitely my favorite followed by Empire Ants and Plastic Beach

[mementomori31]

I think we can all agree that the first album is the best. Well i think so anyway :D

[rezagraz]

my ears ejaculated...

[haymaker710]

@rezagraz gross

[TPinkMonkey87]

Why does the bassist play the whole time with his strap around his waist? He wasn't playing throughout that entire time - he could have fixed it.

[pbfinawesome]

@TPinkMonkey87 cause he can.

[wekoontz]

@TPinkMonkey87 He's not 'the bassist', he's Paul Simonon. He actually was playing playing most of the time because he has amazing Paul Simonon powers. Whatever he does, we're forced to love it because he's Paul Simonon. Simple, yes?

[XenophobicMute]

@wekoontz couldn't have said it better meself!

[Mastodamus]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM Buddy!-David Letterman. 

[serotone9]

Fan fucking tastic tick tick tick tick tick tick! Too bad about all that crap in the beginning - took away from the impact of that first hit a little bit. Great performance though.

[TheRolfoCopter]

You guys honestly think that the guy who wrote the music, played it countless times in the studio, did countless live performances with the album over and over again would forget the lyrics?Every show, Damon has the creative licence to do whatever he wanted. He always sings whatever he wants. Sounds fine to me.

Awesome performance!

[SaryLoe]

Gorillaz = Complete awesomeness !!!! <3

[haymaker710]

I love that head bopping thing the string section keeps doing.

[rkukentertainment]

I no way the best song on Plastic Beach, but not bad, love the start.

[BlueSoulJim]

like they did in Grammys 2006 with Madonna!

[itellthetruth5]

I loved the Clash but sorry I just don't get this.

[Swede7777]

@itellthetruth5 Listen to Gorillaz more. Eventually you will stop getting weirded out by it and you will learn to like it.

[joshowen17]

I <3 GORILLAZ

[Vosk21]

Plastic Beach is shit in comparison to Demon Days.

"Stylo" is not single material and the whole Plastic beach album seems to be a really half assed electro wannabee with too much focus on special guest stars.

[Taysci]

@Vosk21 Hmm...I suppose you're right.

[shufflingyourcards]

@Vosk21 Plastic Beach owns. Nuff said.

[loserbabysowhydontyo]

dope performance! song sounded great at msg also

[engladtur]

Seeing them live really is an special experience!

[Taysci]

@bbhood21 Yeah he was mixing it up I know but at some parts it looked like he was stumbling a bit.

[TheCyborgNoodle]

hahaha xDD great show !

[BlueSoulJim]

jeez! i wish they put CGI characters in the show!

[Taysci]

@BlueSoulJim Your comment deserves more thumbs up.

[MrZebbedeo]

Paul Simonon!!

[SaruOmega]

The entire performance in the webcast and on Letterman was nice and solid.

And Damon definitely didn't forget the lyrics. He just enjoys mixing it up a bit.

[narquarhunter]

Ganna see them live!!!

[JamPonyMessenger]

I'll probably get marked as spam or something, but I uploaded this in HD if anyone cares. Check my page.

[Taysci]

In my opinion, Plastic Beach was slightly better than Demon Days. It felt like they tried to reach out a little more to different genres of music.
