OK, I know I'm old but... Gorillazs?

OK, I know I'm old but... Gorillazs?

Post by CoolBreeze »

I'm watching COOL TV a couple of weeks ago and I see this really cool video with Gorillaz and Bruce Willis. (I have to give Willis credit.. he appears in the weirdest shit all the time) called STYLO. I'm thinking: "Who ARE these guys??

I scan the dial enough to know what's going on out there. At least I THOUGHT I did. Then I find out that this "Gorillaz" has been around for close to a decade! How in the hell did I miss that??

This is another Gorillaz song I like:

This ones pretty cool too...

My question: Have any of Gorillaz songs made the charts? If so, how high? And when's the first time they appeared on the charts?

The Monkees first charted in '66. Gorillaz? Probably later...

In all cerealness, their Billboard "Hot 100" history would read like this:

2001 Clint Eastwood (57)
2005 Feel Good Inc. (14)
2006 Dare (87)

Bunch of other higher placing stuff on all of them other charts that don't mean nothin'...

Thank God the songs didn't appear in the top 10 because I would have felt REALLY bad. :lol:

Wait... IS there a Top 10 anymore? :?

I remember first hearing them on the old WOXY circa 2001 -- I liked them then and still like them now.
