Poor Murdoc. Mother gave him up, abusive home life, teachers putting him down, getting bullied, and beat up by his brother. And he decided to make it out by any means necessary. Not giving up.
JC 587 Exactly it's tolerable but thats about it. Hopefully they have him kicking ass again in the series I can't take this pansy shit they have him doing any longer lol I'm like what happened to the MN when I was a kid?
Edit: I posted this comment four years ago, but apparently people don't get sarcasm. I know 2D wasn't a good student, that was a joke. Wow...2D is sweet, apparently smart because he made good grades in school, multi-talented, gets wicked migraines, has a painkiller addiction, and is constantly bullied by Murdoc. All this, and he still manages to be a good person with simple desires. He may be a fictional character, but we can all really learn something from him.
***** Dude, millions of people from all over the world love you and your voice. You're a great singer and Murdoc is just a bitter old man. Don't let let anything he says make you think anything else.
Don't know why I scrolled this far down, but here I am. Also don't know why I feel compelled to reply but again, it's happening. Stu isn't "smart" but nor is he "thick"... he's had a couple nasty knocks on the head (at least a few of which would outright kill a real person) so that's definitely scrambled him up some but on the other hand... well, he's just one of those people whose intelligence isn't easily measured with any traditional method. My interpretation is that he got decent school grades because of earnest effort and dogged determination instead of any regular smarts, but school must have been an uphill battle for a kid whose only real talents were musical and apparently not even nurtured all that well. Just one of those things; some of us get math without even having to think about it too hard, some of us have a knack for understanding people on an emotional level and some, like 2-D, look like complete morons from the outside but just have their 'smarts' somewhere else entirely. Probably helps that he's a cartoon, though. XD
their is a picture were he is 9 or 10 and smokes and he marked on of his classmates as gay, than theire is a email of 20 unpaid Children, but yeah he has also a nice personality he is caring, he is nice to everyone and so one and know look at murdock he obviously is a victim he was bullied his dad was a dick he got abused by his famely he is a giant douche but he also have a nice site to, that is awesome about the gorillaz they are unicue personalities not completly bad but not completly good either just like real humans.
I honestly thought Russel's story was the most interesting. His friends were murdered and he was sent to England for his safety. He was possessed by his friends and Murdoc kidnapped him. Wow. What a guy.
Don't forget the souls of his dead friends (temporarily) swirling inside of him, granting him his white eyes. And then he attemps suicide in Phase 3 after being haunted by Death(and probably being depressed over Noodle's supposed death at the time), dude's had a rough life.
idk why but when i was listening to 2D talking about what he would do after school and he said something about wanting to be a storm chaser i was like aw he's so dumb
Natasha Mendes Cartes "No I don't do relationships with anyone. Quick shags are fine. I won't deny that. I'd rather not have anyone else to look out for."
Well in the fictional world of Gorillaz she would have been 16 years old at the time of the recording and publication of these interviews, so if you want an in-canon reason for her absence it might be that she was far too busy with her teen angst to participate in the project. Also, like, she's hung around with these three much older lunatics for most of her conscious life so pretty much any time they're distracted by something like interviews, Noodles is probably relishing the quiet and absence of band-related bullshittery?
I miss 2D and he isn't even real. I want 2D to happy and maybe murdoc deserved a happy childhood. Not his dad. Noodle deserved a real happy family and russel deserved to feel safe an not constantly be harassed by ghosts and demons. They all deserve so so much better. 2D needs to be off drugs and fully mentally sane. He deserves so much more. I'm so angry and this all isn't even real.
I don't think noodle will ever be a face ache cause he gave her the nickname Asian axe princess I'm not joking he said it in a intervew and it was on her MTV cribbs description.
I love how Murdoc doesn’t fully understand what he did to 2-D’s eyes. He’s just like, ‘he doesn’t have any cause I can’t see them.’ Nah bro, you gave him hyphema.
Olivia Block I mean, I assume the nickname was random, considering homophobia is pretty commonly used as an insult, but is there a possibility the nickname was true? 🤔 (If you can’t tell, this is a joke ahh)
I feel like there's a reasoning behind the fact 2-D had no idea that a book was made (as stated in an interview) but I'm not sure what. Murdoc explained that it's because "he can't write/read" but I feel like there's a deeper meaning, maybe Murdoc doesn't want to seem vulnerable in the eyes of 2-D??
You have no idea just how RARE this book is! And to share it here...on UA-cam...with the rest of us fans... I salute you sir...a true angel amongst demons, may this rare piece of Gorillaz history be preserved here forever. KONG Studios, RIP...😢
Something about the way Murdoc says "gay polar bear" at 56:16 gives me chills... Edit: Is this really all there is to the audiobook? Christ they cut out like 9/10 of the book! Not to mention that they also cut out a bunch of stuff from the stuff they DID talk about. I was reading my copy of the book along with it and couldn't help but notice they skipped entire paragraphs of text at a time... That's a shame.
2-D is such a kind character. Murdoc's backstory makes me kind of sympathize. His mannerisms slightly remind me of Joker but I'm not sure why. Maybr because he doesn't seem phased by other's pain / suffering.
Damn. Murdoc's story really hit the feels for me! Like I was crying so hard when I realized that Murdoc calls 2D faceache because he used to be called that. I think the reason that Murdoc abuses 2D is not just because he's mad about 2D being the frontman instead of him, but also because there is some obvious frustration pent up inside him from how horrible his life was... Also, I love Russel's story it's very interesting and I like how excited 2D gets when he talks about his passion for horror movies. He's so adorable!
Well, hold up. Murdoc made 2D the frontman, so it isn’t jealousy. It’s just pent up feelings the dude has because of the countless abuse in his childhood. He doesn’t know how to express them correctly, so he uses aggression to get rid of the pain.
17:00 I find it really cool that they added in the detail that they are both Horses in the Chinese horoscope because Damon and Jamie are both Monkeys in it also! Idk I just really liked that...maybe that was a little nod to themselves in the characters that they know and love.
You know after 2d and Murdoc told the story of how noodle became member of the band I honestly expected noodle to barge in and say something like this. Because it would have been a little bit more logical. Noodle: No no, no, that is definitely not how it happened. After getting amnesia, getting stuffed into a crate, being shipped off to god knows where and after all that, being greeted by three complete strangers (one of which was so ugly it was horrifying) who were speaking what I thought at the time to be complete gibberish and having no idea who I was, where I was, and who the hell these people were, did you honestly think that I showed my incredible guitar skills and became little miss sunshine right away? Hell no! I was terrified! I thought I had been kidnapped or something! I freaked out and made for the nearest exit. The boys tried to stop me of course, but I defeated them easily with a few kicks and punches. It astonished me that I knew how to fight so well, despite failing to remember anything about my past. Anyway, I managed to get out of Kong studios and I ran for my life. I found myself to be on top of a huge hill and I ran down it as fast as I could. The hill is very steep and as I ran, I found it hard to keep my footing, but I wasn't concentrating on that much because I was so scared. The boys didn't help much because when I looked back, I saw all three of them chasing after me, which made me run even faster. Perhaps if I had understood what 'stop kid! We're not going to hurt you! Slow down or you'll fall!" meant, I might have slowed down and saved myself falling over and tumbling down rest of the hill. Keep in mind I had only started to run down the hill when I fell so by the time I reached the bottom, I was unconscious. I think my head hit a rock on the way down. When I woke up I was in what would later become my room and the first thing I saw was Russell. At first I was scared and planed to run away again but I noticed things that made me think twice. I noticed that I was not tied up or restrained in any way. So I said to myself, "hold on, if I have been kidnapped, wouldn't they have done something to stop me from getting away?" I also noticed the soothing music that was playing. I think Russell put that on in an effort to try and calm me down. But what really convinced me to stay was the nervous look on Russell's face when he offered me a bowl of noodles and tried to communicate with me for the first time. When I took the noodles, he pointed a finger at himself and said slowly and gently said "Russell" . I was confused at first but it didn't take me very long to figure out that he had told me his name. I then realised that Russell was not a monster that I should be afraid of but was in fact, a kind person who was almost as confused and as afraid as I was. I still had no idea where I was or how I got there but I decided to trust Russell and I wanted to tell him that I did but I didn't know how. I paused for a while before deciding that I was going to tell him my name in return. I didn't know what my real name was so I gave myself a new name. That name was the first thing that popped into my mind and what I thought would be easiest for Russell understand. I held up the bowl of noodles and shouted out 'Noodle' and then put the bowl of noodles down and pointed at myself. This was the moment that would bond the two of us forever. And that's what really happened but the story 2D told did have some truth in it. You might be asking, when did I become an official member of the Gorillaz? Well, that happened a few days later. At that time, auditions were talking place for the role of lead guitarist of the band. These auditions made me think more about the only thing I had with me on my journey in the crate, a guitar. I had no idea why I had it but knew there had to be a reason. I soon discovered that I could play the guitar and I was fantastic, better than all the other people and I had seen additions and I knew what I had to. I sneaked into the room where the auditions were taking place and instead of seeing the next person scheduled to bore them, Russell, 2D and Murdoc saw me. Before any of them could object, I blew them away with my skills. I think I sounded exactly the way 2D described and really did finish with a super high karate jump kick just like he said. Murdoc was overjoyed when I finished. I recall him saying "well what d'you know! After three days of listening to amateur bores, delusional, talentless cunts and tone deaf morons, the perfect guitarist was right under our noses the whole time". It was then when I became an official member of the band, not the instant I arrived. Come on! That would have been ridiculous. I'm not sure why Murdoc and 2D lied about my story like that. I think it's because they didn't want to admit they got their asses kicked by a tiny, little girl but they can't hide the truth. In fact, I added this to the final draft of the book just days before Murdoc plans to send it off to be published. I hope he doesn't think to check it first or you may never see this. By the way, you know how 2D's front teeth are missing? Well, he didn't lose them due to his childhood injury or the other two accidents he suffered at the hands of Murdoc and his awful driving. He actually lost those teeth when I kicked him in the mouth and as for Murdoc, I was the one who broke his nose for the eighth time, not Russell. If this makes it into the book, I can imagine that Murdoc and 2D will be very embarrassed but that serves them right.

I've got to say, as much as i feel bad for murdoc's past with the bullying and abandonment and stuff, that doesn't excuse the fact that hes literally kidnapped many people, ran over 2-D with a car twice and many other crimes. Still one of my favorite characters though, he's funny
It sounds like "tosspot", which is a british word for someone stupid and such. I'm unsure if it's canon or not, but I heard 2D's dad legally changed it to "Pot" to avoid harassment.
At 3:24, the auto-captions turn "murdoc niccals" into "no dark nipples"

Kind of bothers me that they had every band member talk in this except for Noodle.
Toffeehammer noodle didn't have a full time voice actor at the time.
Nor did Noodle talk English.
true but didn’t she learn english when she travelled to japan during the hiatus after phase 1 ?
Well in the fictional world of Gorillaz she would have been 16 years old at the time of the recording and publication of these interviews, so if you want an in-canon reason for her absence it might be that she was far too busy with her teen angst to participate in the project.

Where did you get it from? I've been looking for months.
2-D is such a kind character.
Murdoc's backstory makes me kind of sympathize. His mannerisms slightly remind me of Joker but I'm not sure why. Maybr because he doesn't seem phased by other's pain / suffering.
Why is Russell's voice so SEXY?!
2D is so cute! I love his voice ^^
The Nerdy Girlie oh fancy seeing you here, love 😂😂
Stu pot : stares in the space
Mudroc : Im bout to start this mans whole career
Damn. Murdoc's story really hit the feels for me! Like I was crying so hard when I realized that Murdoc calls 2D faceache because he used to be called that. I think the reason that Murdoc abuses 2D is not just because he's mad about 2D being the frontman instead of him, but also because there is some obvious frustration pent up inside him from how horrible his life was...
Also, I love Russel's story it's very interesting and I like how excited 2D gets when he talks about his passion for horror movies. He's so adorable!
Well, hold up. Murdoc made 2D the frontman, so it isn’t jealousy. It’s just pent up feelings the dude has because of the countless abuse in his childhood. He doesn’t know how to express them correctly, so he uses aggression to get rid of the pain.
BLOOPY NOISES 2-D IS SUCH A CINNAMON ROLL
he isnt tbh ;-;
Wholesome UwU 😊💖💙👐
i cant belive i listend to that whole thing
I had listenind to this 4 times now it's my 5th time
=O Murdoch was called "face acne" or whatever, when he was young! he calls 2D that! maybe he messes with 2D just to be the bully for once.....
I noticed that, too! I thought it was interesting.
+Stephanie Holley i think he calls 2D "ache face" because he always looks sad and tired
+MrJmaldo05 He calls 2D "face ache"
Yeah, thanks i do not speak english but i can reconize that two words by separate
Face ache
Anyone else notice that one of the jobs Murdoc had was part time Santa? I could see children being scarred for life.
he wasn’t santa, he was the grinch
+DimensionalExpansion
the rest of the story is in the music of the gorillaz. ;)
Thanks for this!
it would be awsome if the subtitles worked :s
+lion kennedy buy the book and read while the video is playing.. =P
laladieladada Its over $200...
they seem to work now for me. =)
I ... I don't know why, but Murdoc's voice reminds me of Captain Jack Sparrow. Anyone else? nope, I thought not.
Because the both sound drunk, maybe XD?
+Natasha Mendes Cartes ... True though! XoD
Anna Illian lol
+Anna Illian You mean Jack Sparrow sounds like Murdoc. Murdoc's been around ages before that Johnny Depp character.
+AxleTrade ah, true true
17:00 I find it really cool that they added in the detail that they are both Horses in the Chinese horoscope because Damon and Jamie are both Monkeys in it also! Idk I just really liked that...maybe that was a little nod to themselves in the characters that they know and love.
2d, murdoc and russel are all geminis in the western zodiac
Russell is the heart of the band 😄 Awwwww that's so cuuuute
"start singing a little sod or a smash at Ethan."

what did Ethan do to deserve this?
OK now they made Murdoc into Murdoch, and now its my book
now he's Minako
and his dad was a nerd well
30:16 an explanation for everything in this band
The thought of little Muds, frightened on stage, makes me tear up and breaks my heart
Same here. Murdoc needs a hug.
You know after 2d and Murdoc told the story of how noodle became member of the band I honestly expected noodle to barge in and say something like this. Because it would have been a little bit more logical.
Noodle: No no, no, that is definitely not how it happened. After getting amnesia, getting stuffed into a crate, being shipped off to god knows where and after all that, being greeted by three complete strangers (one of which was so ugly it was horrifying) who were speaking what I thought at the time to be complete gibberish and having no idea who I was, where I was, and who the hell these people were, did you honestly think that I showed my incredible guitar skills and became little miss sunshine right away? Hell no! I was terrified! I thought I had been kidnapped or something! I freaked out and made for the nearest exit. The boys tried to stop me of course, but I defeated them easily with a few kicks and punches. It astonished me that I knew how to fight so well, despite failing to remember anything about my past. Anyway, I managed to get out of Kong studios and I ran for my life. I found myself to be on top of a huge hill and I ran down it as fast as I could. The hill is very steep and as I ran, I found it hard to keep my footing, but I wasn't concentrating on that much because I was so scared. The boys didn't help much because when I looked back, I saw all three of them chasing after me, which made me run even faster. Perhaps if I had understood what 'stop kid! We're not going to hurt you! Slow down or you'll fall!" meant, I might have slowed down and saved myself falling over and tumbling down rest of the hill. Keep in mind I had only started to run down the hill when I fell so by the time I reached the bottom, I was unconscious. I think my head hit a rock on the way down. When I woke up I was in what would later become my room and the first thing I saw was Russell. At first I was scared and planed to run away again but I noticed things that made me think twice. I noticed that I was not tied up or restrained in any way. So I said to myself, "hold on, if I have been kidnapped, wouldn't they have done something to stop me from getting away?" I also noticed the soothing music that was playing. I think Russell put that on in an effort to try and calm me down. But what really convinced me to stay was the nervous look on Russell's face when he offered me a bowl of noodles and tried to communicate with me for the first time. When I took the noodles, he pointed a finger at himself and said slowly and gently said "Russell" . I was confused at first but it didn't take me very long to figure out that he had told me his name. I then realised that Russell was not a monster that I should be afraid of but was in fact, a kind person who was almost as confused and as afraid as I was. I still had no idea where I was or how I got there but I decided to trust Russell and I wanted to tell him that I did but I didn't know how. I paused for a while before deciding that I was going to tell him my name in return. I didn't know what my real name was so I gave myself a new name. That name was the first thing that popped into my mind and what I thought would be easiest for Russell understand. I held up the bowl of noodles and shouted out 'Noodle' and then put the bowl of noodles down and pointed at myself. This was the moment that would bond the two of us forever. And that's what really happened but the story 2D told did have some truth in it. You might be asking, when did I become an official member of the Gorillaz? Well, that happened a few days later. At that time, auditions were talking place for the role of lead guitarist of the band. These auditions made me think more about the only thing I had with me on my journey in the crate, a guitar. I had no idea why I had it but knew there had to be a reason. I soon discovered that I could play the guitar and I was fantastic, better than all the other people and I had seen additions and I knew what I had to. I sneaked into the room where the auditions were taking place and instead of seeing the next person scheduled to bore them, Russell, 2D and Murdoc saw me. Before any of them could object, I blew them away with my skills. I think I sounded exactly the way 2D described and really did finish with a super high karate jump kick just like he said. Murdoc was overjoyed when I finished. I recall him saying "well what d'you know! After three days of listening to amateur bores, delusional, talentless cunts and tone deaf morons, the perfect guitarist was right under our noses the whole time". It was then when I became an official member of the band, not the instant I arrived. Come on! That would have been ridiculous. I'm not sure why Murdoc and 2D lied about my story like that. I think it's because they didn't want to admit they got their asses kicked by a tiny, little girl but they can't hide the truth. In fact, I added this to the final draft of the book just days before Murdoc plans to send it off to be published. I hope he doesn't think to check it first or you may never see this. By the way, you know how 2D's front teeth are missing? Well, he didn't lose them due to his childhood injury or the other two accidents he suffered at the hands of Murdoc and his awful driving. He actually lost those teeth when I kicked him in the mouth and as for Murdoc, I was the one who broke his nose for the eighth time, not Russell. If this makes it into the book, I can imagine that Murdoc and 2D will be very embarrassed but that serves them right.
Impressive.
Mitzi the evil ferret You sir/madam, deserve an award for this masterpiece!
+Mitzi the evil ferret She dosent speak english, so your story is sadly invalid.

I love Russell so much I swear. He is so unappreciated
im loving 2-D. He so cute and smart,tall, blue hair, and i love him for who he is and i wouldnt change that about him.
Elisa Sanabria he's not smart lmao
2-D's voice...always so cute ^w^
The voice acting is still awesome.
It’s so... natural! It doesn’t feel like voice acting, it actually feels like _the characters_ are saying these things!
This audiobook removes a lot from the book. Do yourself a favor, and read it if you get a chance.
If it wasn’t so expensive:(
the ones i saw where all like 200 quid :(

I definitely want to buy this,I feel hella bad for 2-d tho poor fella
On amazon for about $350
Murdoc's voice in this phase was so much better.
I've got to say, as much as i feel bad for murdoc's past with the bullying and abandonment and stuff, that doesn't excuse the fact that hes literally kidnapped many people, ran over 2-D with a car twice and many other crimes. Still one of my favorite characters though, he's funny
Yeah, but you gotta admire how he doesn’t act like a good person and how he really embrace’s the fact a he’s a reject of god

A whole book of just Murdoc just shiting on humanity which even tho is expensive as fuck, I'm still saving up for
russel is so precious i love him oh my god
I love how different 2D’s singing and talking voice is :)
Why did it take me so many years to realise that "Stu Pot" sounds like "Stupid"?!?!?!
There’s a reason why his nickname is short for “Two-Dents” (because he IS too dense)
Maybe because he's an idiot?
Ah, what a coincidence, listening to this on the 23rd May. Happy Birthday, 2-D!
The natural colour was now a vibrant azure blue.

Thank you so much for uploading this.
Clock got bored. How do I always find your account?
what's wrong with the last name "Tusspot"? I'm not a native english speaker so I wouldn't know how people would've bullied 2D
It sounds like "tosspot", which is a british word for someone stupid and such. I'm unsure if it's canon or not, but I heard 2D's dad legally changed it to "Pot" to avoid harassment.
PhantomhiveSass I know he changed it, I just didn't know what was wrong with Tusspot. Thank you for explaining :)
Hailen Ace its slang for a gay man
Hailen Ace it's a sortuv nasty word in Britain,, Yh were rly weird in england
