The Gorillaz biggest triumph is that they set out to do something similar to the Residents...Only difference is the Gorillaz got rich doing it in 3 years, whereas the Residents are still barely scraping by financially...They still give their audience their money's worth hands down, who knows, maybe it will shed some light on bands who's personnel completely avoid the spotlight by hiding behind personnas, through animation and/or costumes...
If they break up, doesn't matter, they weren't so much a band as they were a concept...
