About Murdoc Niccals

The snaggle toothed svengali of Gorillaz, his flop fringe disguises a mind like a rusty steel trap. Self-taught bassist, wannabe frontman, he's the band's warped back seat driver who knows that good tunes aren't enough to succeed. You need good looks - which he hasn't got - and a twisted mind - which he has. Murdoc likes to dominate interviews, a rent-a-quote misogynist who speaks without a taste filter. Ex-speed freak. Personal hygiene problem. Shoplifter. Heavy smoker. Hates 2D.

You: Murdoc, how are you? Murdoc Niccals: Urhh....A little groggy. Bit of a furry tongue. You: How do you see yourself? Poet? Rock star? What? Murdoc Niccals: You missed out “Putrid purple bell end of Satan.” You: What was the secret of your success? Murdoc Niccals: I would say that it's down to a number of things. My superb bass playing, the incredible song writing and the razor-sharp image that makes up the whole Gorillaz package. Though if you really ask me to pin it down to a single solitary reason I would probably have to say it was because of the watertight deal I made with Satan. Beelzebub himself. 'Faust' is in fact my middle name. You: Who are some of your favourite bassists of all time? Murdoc Niccals: Bass players... hmm... Jean Jacques Burnel from the Stranglers, Paul from the Clash... Entwistle from the Who... a bunch of the dub guys. Most of the bass I like nowadays is programmed by producers anyway.
