Q magazine out today in the UK, some new info, scans

The Gorillaz-featuring Q magazine is out in the UK today. As well as a fold-out 2-page Gorillaz cover, the magazine features a 9-page Gorillaz article and another full page picture. The article tells the story behind Plastic Beach and also has some interviews with the collaborators. The artwork looks fantastic and scans cannot really do it justice! Get hold of a copy if you can.

Thanks to Viva22 who sends the scans:- (click a thumbnail to enlarge)



Some information from the interview can be read by clicking 'Read More' below. (warning: SPOILERS!).





SPOILERS!

Information from the Q magazine interview

- about Noodle, after the El Manana vid 'there was no sign of her at the video site' so he collected some of her DNA from the wreckage
- Murdoc learnt that Noodle was in hell and he did go there to try and rescue her. But he did not find her in hell and had to come back.
- the Noodle we see now is an android replica built using her DNA
- Kong was officially burnt down by Murdoc in an insurance scam in July 2009. But he had some of it shipped to Plastic Beach
- Murdoc got involved in a pyramid scheme and gun running and lost a lot of money, so needed to make a new album
- he chose Point Nemo in the Pacific ocean as a good spot to hide out
- the article says all of The Horrors are Murdoc's children, by different mothers
- Murdoc says he stole Damon's work-in-progress for Damon's project Carousel and used it to help write Plastic Beach
- the article says Noodle had an "accident" at the NYC shows when a lighting rig fell on her, they are not sure if Paula Cracker did it or if Jacob (Niccals) did it
- Murdoc does NOT say Russel died, HOWEVER, Russel is not mentioned in the article apart from going missing after the NYC shows and it specifically says 2D, android Noodle and Murdoc are on Plastic Beach, giving descriptions of them. The article says 'Russel is missing in action, Murdoc had to program the drums himself'.

LMAO suddenly it all makes sense.

The part about Noodle is really upsetting though. Perhaps she's roaming around elsewhere, idk :/

The Noodle thing is just... freaking me out. I feel like I had the rug pulled out from under me.

is there some scan comming up? i wouldn't say these information are spoilers. if they come out of Q mag article, then they are an officially released informations, aren't they?

anyways... i don't mind this Noodle thing if the replica has her DNA - Noodle is now immortal! :D but it's sad that the Kong has been burnt down (though site still works). and funny stuff with Horrors :D

I'm really surprised they mentioned Paula/Jacob. Seems so weird to me for some reason.

:(

The story gets weirder and weirder! I like
The whole thing, but no Russel means no Gorillaz.
And the DNA story with Noodle is also weird. Scan the
Pages, please, it's not available in Holland yet!
I hope Russel and Noodle will come back. Than we will have
2 noodles :)

As anyone done any scans yet? I've just picked Q up so I could do a little scanny scan if anyone needs it?

[info]gorillaz_news

January 26 2010, 10:45:56 UTC 2 years ago

I will put them in the main article if you do... I can't get to a scanner till a lot later. If you want to email me any links or scans etc, it's gorillaz-unofficial@hotmail.com

I don't understand why Damon would drop focus from the drums just to favor the storyline? Maybe it's to cover the lack of producer..
Other than that, I'll actually admit to liking these twists. I mean, I like Noodle and Russell as much as the next person, but I also understand why J&D wanted a new approach. This could get really interesting...

[info]laziilemon

January 26 2010, 11:10:09 UTC 2 years ago

I think it'd be the other way around... the storyline to favour the music. Buuut, I agree. This is going to be the craziest phase yet.

Oh, come on you guys. Don't be too surprised. We are talking about a band with a comic book author involved! Twists like these were to be expected and I can't wait to find out more :D

[info]noirraven

January 26 2010, 15:05:33 UTC 2 years ago

Not just any comic book writer! We're talking about the same batty, plastered British bloke who wrote/drew TANK GIRL! There was a sentient tank, talking kangaroos reincarnated from people, as well as dogs and despite it being 2011, they still sing to old time songs from the 80's and earlier. XD Yeah, this phase promises to be one hell of a ride... *opens the six pack and passes them round*

what the fact?

- about Noodle, after the El Manana vid 'there was no sign of her at the video site' so he collected some of her DNA from the wreckage

- Murdoc learnt that Noodle was in hell and he did go there to try and rescue her. But he did not find her in hell and had to come back.

- the Noodle we see now is an android replica built using her DNA

- the article says Noodle had an "accident" at the NYC shows when a lighting rig fell on her, they are not sure if Paula Cracker did it or if Jacob (Niccals) did it

so el mañana video came first right?then the NYC shows.that would be impossible if there are no such thing like the el mañana live visuals.so noodle was alive then if she's in the NYC shows.but she got an accident.i'm not sure if the noodle in the NYC shows is the real one or the android replica of herself.now i'm getting messed up and thinking of a movie called "The One".now the band gets very interesting than before.making the reader messed up and puzzled

Re: what the fact?

yea, that continuity has been a glaring issue since Rise of the Ogre. They have a pic of noodle at the concert, but that's after the accident at El Manana. It's all a bit confusing, and i doubt they're going to go back and clean that up. But this new story is sure to be amazing.

LMAO!

- the article says all of The Horrors are Murdoc's children, by different mothers

just like his dad Jacob Niccals!

if you take a look at every band members of The Horrors they look like a bunch of punks.some of their hairstyle looks exactly like Murdoc's.i wish jamie hewlett did a cartoon version of them including daddy murdoc!

Official Video, NOT Stylo?

hey there,
3min ago i was thinking about the first OFFICIAL Gorillaz Video in Phase 3,....and i think its NOT Stylo, i mean yeah, stylo is a great song, but its not enough for MTV and other music channels. stylo is also NOT a real Single, if YES, why only a digital version? and no "physical" cd in the store?
i think middle february the Official Gorillaz Video will come out, but NOT with the song stylo. and this song will be in stores as a physical cd :)
(and sry for my bad english^^)

Yeah, this phase has so many new surprises... perhaps it's really similar to the god the bad and the queen with "Herculean" and "kingdom of doom"... pre-single and the real single with a real video came short time before the release of teh album...
By the way I hope that there will be some real drums!!! Was there a mention in the article?

I don't mind that Noodle is an android. I kind of like the idea, actually.
Especially since it has her DNA. props to Murdoc on figuring out how that whole thing works though. Lol

Gorillaz -Q

I hope they find Noodle,i could imagine Noodle and Noodle Android playing tricks on Murdoc :L

(i got the magazine today and i read it not one mention of Russel which i was a little disappointed with,they could of said that we was away or doing something just to assure the fans)

but at least we no Noodle isn't dead neither is Russel. :)

Re: Gorillaz -Q

Uhm... Noodle's currently residing in HELL. How does that not qualify as dead? And even if she is alive, (which she most likely isn't) why couldn't Mud's bring her back/find her?

[info]noirraven

January 26 2010, 15:08:29 UTC 2 years ago

Well... Even if she wasn't going to be an android, Noodle had Murdoc and 2D as her main role models. She was bound to end up more like Murdoc cause let's face it, 2D never had much of a personality, being a pill popper and mental case that he is.
