    Isn't BLUR just one guy? Creatively I mean, like Trent Reznor is NIN and Robert Smith is the CURE. The other guys are just studio musicians who change from album to album and on tours.Isn't Gorillaz just a take on that fact? A completely manufactured band? #legorockband

    @puffa469: Blur was always a band, not just a guy. Made up of permanent members.

    The lineup consisted of Damon Albarn (vocals), Graham Coxon (guitar), Alex James (bass), Dave Rowntree (drums).

    Saw them before they were "big" (at least in the states here) as we loved them when we were kids. Was my girlfriend at the time's 18th birthday and we saw them in a club with around 100 other people, very intimate. They played "Birthday" for her at her friends request. It was awesome.

    We hung out with them after the show in the rooms above the venue, drank champagne with the guys and just talked and laughed about the cultural differences between the US and UK and partied. I'll never forget it we were all so young then sigh. #legorockband

    You can play as either band but if you play as Oasis and get a prefect score Noel Gallagher will chug a little LEGO whiskey bottle and throw up at you. #legorockband

    While I'm not normally a fan of celebs in GH/RB, I have to say that the LEGO approach is actually kind of fun. You don't have to get hung up on if they look "real enough" and instead can accept them as caricatures. #legorockband

    As much as I love Blur, The Gorillaz is the best thing that Damon Albarn has been a part of. The more Gorillaz the better. Song 2 should be a fun one to play, though. #legorockband

    @Novenus:
    See, I wanted more Blur songs in Rock Band, but then they added that HORRIBLE cover of Beetlebum to the music store, and I took it all back. Then they added the amazing 3-Pack of Gorillaz songs and it made me giddy like a schoolgirl. If they could get some good Blur songs in Rock Band I might change my mind.

    @bluntrauma:
    Nuh-uh! And you're stupid, with your stupid hat and your stupid face! I hate you!!

    Seriously, though, I love Blur, but there is rarely a moment when scanning through my PMP that I pass The Gorillaz and don't want to listen to them. I can't say that about Blur. #legorockband

    Smart move. Competing with Forza 3 is a terrible idea, especially for a game like this.

    @Yossarian: At a core level, they are different, but on the surface to the average consumer, they are just racing games. If consumers are going to buy one or two racing games this holiday season, they'll go with the known, popular games like Forza and NFS, both of which come out this month. Blur would have been lost in the overwhelming holiday rush.

    @RockyRan: I really do wonder if publishers and devs are ignorant of this. As each game gets delayed to the post Christmas/pre-Spring season, it's just pushing back the inevitable bottleneck of games. I'd be willing to bet that as we get closer to that January-March period, more delays will start to pop up.

    well there's NFS: shift (which is selling decently atleast in the UK: No 1 overall sales (ps3:52%, 360:44%, PSP&PC:5% [yeah I know it adds to 101 but chart-track posted it]), dirt 2 and the exclusives of forza3, and gt5(there's too many signs pointing to a release around december) so I guess they didn't want to crowd around with them. Later next year just puts them in the running against Mod-Nation racers which is fine for them I guess.

    @MAATOHA: I heard they were having problems with the blue shell.

    Nintendo wouldn't license it to them and allow depictions of body damage. So they are going to have to go back and create a shoddy knockoff called "bloo ball" that acts the same but differs just enough to avoid copywrite issues.

    @Yossarian: Oh god it would be awesome if they added a power-up called a blur ball. When hit by it your vision gets blurred and fuzzy like being drunk or heavily medicated and the duration can be longer if the person who shot it charged the power up.

    So if any of the devs from Blur reads this put it in the game.

    The band is "Blur" and the videogame, according to how the devs pronounce it, is either "Blegh" or "Blair".
