Does anyone here know who played the bass on the new Gorillaz album, Demon Days? I know the fictonal character is Murdoc, but I'm talking about the real person.

Take 2 or 3 hours out of your day with your bass, and any of their albums. Work at it and you should have it all figured out. I have all of Demon Days down, and I'm just now going back to the self-titled one.

I like basic music though. Like nirvana. Well I thought the gorrilaz was all one guy that played all the instruments and sang. I'm not positive but im pretty sure.

Morgan Nicholls played on the second album.

He is now busy as a cheese farmer and writes articles - I don't think he has time for playing any more!
