If we can give her a Les Paul

that's not plugged in,

that she can just hold,

she looks like Noodle.

We did it! Yeah, f***ing did it!

- We did it!

- Right. Done it.

- Mind the window!

- Knob!

Fuckface!

Ceri. Ceri, are you ready? Yeah?

You won't do it.

F***!

Take two.

Yeah, yeah, we're all here.

- OK, everybody.

- Take three!

He'll be doing this with arthritis at 98.

- Take four, is it?

- Four.

Take five is always a good one.

Got to do something, they're going mental.

- Come on, you toerag.

- As you are.

Let's go.

- Classic, man.

- Know what I mean?

Now what the f***...

Can we go home now, please?

I've really had enough of Paris.

Please? I've had my sandwich.

I've spilt my Bollinger. I want to go home.

Hi. We have Damon from the Gorillaz,

and we're gonna be doing the interview,

we have ten minutes.

- OK.

- So I have him here, we're ready to go.

- Hello. How are you?

- I'm OK, thank you.

OK, you're calling from London?

No, actually, I'm calling from Miami.

Why?

Because EMI thought it would be cheaper.

What are you doing in Miami?

It's ridiculous, really.

All I'm doing is telephone calls.

I've got an idea, though, that maybe

it would be nice to record in Iraq.

- That's Iraq.

- That would be great for your reputation.

Hello? Hello?

Oh, God. I hate doing this so much.

It's just like...

So mind-numbing.

Boring.

Oh, God!

There's, like, 20 radio stations in a room,

and like a free-for-all.

- There'll be other bands there, so...

- Oh, no.

- We're not going to bump into young...

- ..socialize with other people?

- I'm tired of our nemesis young talent.

- What if we start a fight?

- Would that be good?

- Yeah.

- That'll get press.

- No such thing as bad publicity.

- Damon...

- We'll find the bands.

It's the VMA, so anybody

who's in town for this is gonna go.

I don't know if they're all gonna be there,

it's like everyone...

They'll do two-hour blocks.

There's not even much time.

Are we talking bands

we've never f***ing heard of,

- or actual proper bands?

- Justin Timbaland's gonna be there.

You know, a mixture of both pop...

- What you gonna change your name to?

- P Diddy.

What you gonna change your name to?

- J Shitty. J Piddy.

- J Weasel.

It'll be great when he goes back

to his original name.

J Weasel. I like that.

J Weasel. Hello. How you doing?

My attitude to this sh*t is just f***ing...

Just to give as little as possible.

You know what I mean?

- So are you gonna share?

- Hell. We're in hell.

We're live backstage at the VMA!

With the Gorillaz! Oh, yeah!

We're going to be interviewed

by the Road Warrior, look.

And now, going round the very sound,

he's forever, Trevor!

We might get f***ing Justin Timberlake

suddenly stroll by,

and say, "You been talking about my pants?

I'm gonna kill you, motherfuckers!"

"You callin' me Timbaland?"

"My name's not Timbaland! Motherf***er!

"My name's Timberlake!

And my trousers fit me fine!"

- Where are we going now?

- Oi, you told us that was it?

Well, this is going to...

So, wait a second. Who are you guys?

I know we're really right in the

kind of epicenter of the cattle market.

It makes England look quite sort of mild

and sort of respectable and civilized.

- Plug?

- Plug.

What do you think?

It's good like this?

- The length?

- Let's have a look.

Easy! That's your head.

- It's Remi!

- What's the song, by the way,

that everybody calls in to request and

no one has any idea what it's called?

The title of the song is Clint Eastwood.

What kind of a band would

make it that difficult

for people to know what their song is called?

I wonder if Gorillaz are here.

- Hey, good morning, boys. What's up?

- Good morning.

So, we've got... Damon is here,

we've got Dan here, we've got J Weasel,

and I gotta tell you,

the guy from the company came in,

and said, "All right,

it's a parallel universe,"

and I thought, "All right,

right there, I'm confused."

These guys are not really the band,

but they know the animated

cartoon characters that are.

So if that's clear to you,

then jump on board!

Where is Murdoc and 2-D

and Russel and Noodle today?

Murdoc is lying on his side

having a vodka enema

- with his favorite female nurse now.

- Oh, my God. A vodka enema!

I guess, when you're animated,

you get all the chicks you want.

- You just get all the perks.

- Yeah, you just...

- Never have to pay the next day.

- Whatever you want.

He just gets down on his knees and

just begs Jamie to draw it, you know,

and it happens.

So, what are your hopes for tonight, then?

I hope that we don't win

the f***ing best directors award,

'cause I don't want

to get up and pick it up.

I hope we get really drunk and end up

getting in a fight with NSYNC.

- What? F*** off!

- Are you coming with us?

No, I don't want to speak to you,

you f***ing ponce.

- Oi!

- Peace.

F*** you!

So tell me, what did we do last night?

We won nothing. We were up

for three awards, and we won nothing.

Turning up for the MTV awards

in New York, I think,

- was pretty embarrassing, wasn't it?

- Yeah. Why?

When we walked down the red

carpet... -And nobody cheered?

..everyone went crazy,

and then we realized...

Who was behind us? Destiny's Child?

We kept asking to go in the back door,

and they said, "No, go up the carpet."

We said, "No one knows who we are."

They made us do it, and it just

went quiet when we walked out.

Yeah!

When you did a track with D-12,

Eminem wasn't present, right?

- No. 911.

- That was your...

Yeah. That was your post September 11th...

Day after. And we'd talked

about doing something together.

It just happened that we were actually

booked in the studio the day after.

I had this track which had a sort of...

a certain flavor to it.

And they were up for it.

And then Terry Hall came in

and sort of finished off the choruses,

and it's got a very strong

sort of Middle Eastern flavor to it.

So, hopefully, the whole thing

is quite a sort of...

a peaceful statement.

A balance of all things.

- Crazy.

- Yeah.

That's what I kind of did for you,

you know? The sort of form, you know?

Your style of rapping

will be really nice on that.

Right. What about something...

So that's what we've kind of

brought to the table.

I want to go through that.

You're not gonna be

talking about death every day.

Talking about people on the plane, they

know they're never going home again.

You know what I'm saying?

Yeah. Sure.

The rhythm of it.

Seems like the snare is just like a little bit...

You know what I'm saying?

Kind of slightly earlier, I want to hit it

exact, you know what I'm saying?

- Tighter.

- Yeah, like the snare should be,

like, a little tighter, just the snare.

There's a sound, yeah, like a...

You know what I mean? When it come in.

You know what that is?

No, you don't. When the Fat Boys

was going into the place

before they did All You Can Eat

on Krush Groove,

that was the beat played.
