Taxidermy is the practice of stuffing and preserving dead bodies (usually animals). Normally, taxidermists try to make it look like it did when it was alive but not always. Some see it as an outlet to show off their artistic creativity. That's what Russell was doing to the pig/boar/warthog. It's already dead and stuffed. He was adding motorcycle elements as a form of art. It's also a pun as the word "Hog" has a dual meaning, being used as the name of that type of animal as well as a motorcycle.
In the early days, roughly the first 6 or so years of Gorillaz, Russel Hobbs had a thing for unusual taxidermy. So that's what he was doing he was taxidermying a warthog and outfitting it with motorcycle parts .. for some reason. 2-D's real name is Stewart Pott, but he is called 2-D because of the two dents in his head from the two seperate incidents involving Murdoc Niccals and a car which is also why his eyes look like that. He is on pain killers to deal with near constant migraines as a result. Murdoc's father's name is Jacob Niccals. Ace didn't come around until "The Now Now" to take Murdoc's place temporarily while he was doing some time in Scottland Yard, not the first time he's been in jail i'm afraid.
also Ace (the powerpuff guy) isn't Murdoc's dad, they look similar but i believe Murdocs dad is named Sebastian? I could be wrong. I recommend in your spare time you listen to some interviews or react to a few shorter ones, they'll give you some backstory and answers
Fun fact, he also has an older half-brother named Hannibal, who broke his nose twice when he was a kid bc he didn't like Murdoc's music choice, which is part of why his nose is so fucked up now!
I think actually we’re the biggest band in 2005 (around when the MTV cribs video was made) feel good inc went double-platinum in the US, triple-platinum in Australia and 6 times platinum in Britain. Jeez
He did it boys, he finally watched it! =D Now all's he's got to do is see the Phase 1 cartoon shorts they did XD or maybe track down the El Manana video with spanish subtitles since that video's not available on their channel in America now. Or watch the storyboard video for Rhinestone Eyes. Or-
@@choosejay1497 Yep =) I think they're called G-Bites. There were like 4 or 5 of them showing the band doing things other than their songs during the first phase. Like that clip ya sometimes see of 2D riding a kid's bike comes from those (Noodle is betting with Del the Rapping Ghost as to whether or not 2D can jump the bike over Russel (who's asleep) in that one).
god i hope they get a show and go through with it, if not a movie because murdocs sense of humor always gets me, even in saturnz barz
They have to now. It's been too hyped up
I have great news

Yup, Sebastian. Old bastard
Ohh ok yes they look very similar though

Not to mention it being top 10 in seventeen different countries 😳
Wow, I guess they were. I can't really think of too many other bands during that time
He did it boys, he finally watched it! =D

Cartoon shorts?
