Whats your video budget? Gorillaz: "jpg"

"bass isn't important" murdoc: hold my gun

This got so popular it turned into a country

The breakdown from 2:55 onwards is one of my favorite bits of any song, ever. Modern world summed up as all the parts of the gun fly away into the cacophony of sound.

Kids with guns:*exists* America: write that down, write that down

I love it how British people wrote the American anthem.

Aight, let's a-go 0:00 - Colt Woodsman 0:03 - Walther p5 w/sporting barrel 0:04 - Glock(?) 0:08 - Ruger LCP 0:09 - AK-pattern rifle (or some other Kalashnikov variant) 0:13 - Remington 870 or Mossberg 500/590 (hard to tell) 0:14 - Wolt Coodsnam 0:15 - KS-23 (a soviet shotgun chambered in a 23mm length gauge, as opposed to 12-gauge’s 12.7mm) 0:16 - S&W 686 variant 0:19 - Ruger LCR 0:20 - Colt Woodsman; TT-33 Tokarev (to the left in red); Kalashnikov (white in background); Colt 1903 Pocket Hammerless (to the right in red); Mauser m1914 'Taschenpistole' (briefly flashed between frames in white) 0:22 - AKs-74u (most likely candidate due to underfolding wire shoulder stock) 0:23 - Walther p22 0:24 - Colt/Browning m1911 or Hi-Power pattern pistol 0:26 - Mauser m1914 pistol (foreground in black); Luger p08 pistol w/grip safety, suggesting a USA commercial-sales variant (background in white) 0:28 - Mauser m1914 pistol(s) 0:29 - AKs-74u (background in black) 0:30 - Beretta m1951 'navy' pistol (or alternatively, a Tariq pistol, which is essentially a copy of the m1951 from Iraq) 0:31 - Ruger LCR revolver (left); S&W model 642 (right) 0:34 - Makarov PM pistol (background) 0:44 - Wilson Combat 1911-pattern pistol 0:54 - With & Smesson P&M 1:04 - Walther p5 (standard barrel length) 1:06 - Makarov PM pistol (foreground in white) Aight that's all the patience I had, honestly a pretty cool lineup that showcases a few lesser-known and characteristically European firearms Also, I am 98% sure that I got one or two of these incorrect, likely more. Any replies pointing this out are welcome as I am not the final authority on the exact models of basic firearm silhouettes.

All jokes aside, this song has a good message, it's simple, has probably one of the best tunes ever, and is criminally underrated.

Anyone: So, what is the genre of your music? Gorillaz: yes

**pumped up kicks left the chat**

When teacher deletes your Kahoot nickname

This song was written because of gun violence in schools. Particularly an event with Damons daughter's school. It's really sad to still see these things happening all these years later. This song would've really had more of an impact if it came out more recently with the rise in gun violence in schools.

Reminds me of school presentation thing or something like this.

The solo that starts at 2:40 to the end of the song is just so unbelievably incredible

So, apparently my copy of Demon Days must have been damaged, because I've never heard this full song, only the beginning 19 seconds, and I thought it was a trolling kind of interlude track all these years. WOW WTF.

It’s crazy that this was released in 2005 and how it’s 100x more relevant today

Can't wait for toddlers with bazookas and teens with swords

This got so popular, they made it into a real thing.

I feel like this is the most underrated gorillaz song I’ve heard

I used to have this song in damaged mp3 file which abruptly ended after 20 seconds. After the first phrase "Kids with guns". I thought that's the whole song. And I thought it's really nice metaphor because the song started lit but ended quickly and abruptly. Like a kid with a gun.

embryos with nukes babies with tanks toddlers with bazookas *kids with guns* teens with swords adults with knives elders with bows Thanks comment section for completing the scale.

This song sitting in my head all day long..

I feel like this song is way more relevant *now* than when it first came out during the demon days...

Wow this is 12 years old… one of the most accurate songs to describe 2022

Gorillaz has to be one of the best bands of all time.Their music is so powerful and unique. Pure genius.

"Kids with Guns" was inspired by a child at Damon Albarn's daughter's school, who had arrived one day with a knife. Albarn said, "A nice boy just decided to pick up a knife and show it to his friends at lunchtime. It's a very real problem, but I'm not treating it as a problem. It's part of the brutalization of a generation that's going on at the moment."

[Verse 1: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Taking over But they won't be long They're mesmerized Skeletons [Refrain 1: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Verse 2: 2D] Drinking out (Push it real) Pacifier (Push it real, push it) Vitamin souls (Push it, push it real) The street desire (Push it real, push it) Doesn't make sense to (Push it, push it real) But it won't be long (Push it real, push it) [Refrain 2: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Chorus: 2D] Now they're turning us into monsters Turning us into fire Turning us into monsters It's all desire, it's all desire It's all desire [Verse 3: 2D] Drinking out Pacifier Sinking soul There you are Doesn't make side to But it won't be long [Refrain 2: 2D] ‘Cause kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Chorus: 2D] Now they're turning us into monsters Turning us into fire Turning us into monsters It's all desire, it's all desire It's all desire [Bridge: 2D & Neneh Cherry] Push it, push it, real, push it, real Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real Push it, push it, real [Outro: Neneh Cherry] I don't know what I'm gonna do Oh, oh, oh, oh After day, after night come Don't, don't kill me now After night come day Oh, oh, oh After day, after night come Don't, don't kill me now Oh, oh, oh, oh

I love this song because it’s so simple yet so complex at the same time and has everything a song need, a good hook, deep lyrics, a breakdown, and a beat change

Feel Pumped Inc.

This song makes me want to make a band called "Gorillas" and then make a song called "Kidz With Gunz"

Gorillaz: hey guys look at this fictional dystopian life that if a representation of a bad future. America: So, do you mind if I copy your homework?

that ending instrumental is so good, and the reason thins song remains one of my favourites to this day

Why is watching guns fly apart into pieces so appealing

Well ain't this just a great song to listen to at school

no one: public schools: Gorillaz - Kids With Guns (Official Video)

Lyrics for my convenience. [Verse 1: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Taking over But they won't be long They're mesmerized Skeletons [Refrain 1: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Verse 2: 2D] Drinking out (Push it real) Pacifier (Push it real, push it) Vitamin souls (Push it, push it real) The street desire (Push it real, push it) Doesn't make sense to (Push it, push it real) But it won't be long (Push it real, push it) [Refrain 2: 2D] Kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Chorus: 2D] Now they're turning us into monsters Turning us into fire Turning us into monsters It's all desire, it's all desire It's all desire [Verse 3: 2D] Drinking out Pacifier Sinking soul There you are Doesn't make side to But it won't be long [Refrain 2: 2D] ‘Cause kids with guns Kids with guns Easy does it, easy does it They got something to say no to [Chorus: 2D] Now they're turning us into monsters Turning us into fire Turning us into monsters It's all desire, it's all desire It's all desire [Bridge: 2D & Neneh Cherry] Push it, push it, real, push it, real Push it, push it, push it, real, push it, real Push it, push it, real [Outro: Neneh Cherry] I don't know what I'm gonna do Oh, oh, oh, oh After day, after night come Don't, don't kill me now After night come day Oh, oh, oh After day, after night come Don't, don't kill me now Oh, oh, oh, oh

Media: “Is this a video game?”

The build up starting from 2:41 blew mind when this album came out. That's the spot on the highway where i'd crank up the volume. This song still gives me chills

I never got school shooter jokes they must just be aimed at a younger audience

The ending is literally a masterpiece

This is my favourite Gorillaz video. I don't even know why, it's just so stylish.

Gorrilaz predicted Persona 5’s art style

I’m on a Gorillaz marathon and all their songs sound so different It doesn’t even feel like I’m listening to the same people, it’s amazing

2:59 I can't, I just- this moment is so amazing, I just don't get as high from any song as I do from this one moment. why is this song so underrated??

2d singing: Kids with guns 2d talking:ThaTt My fAvorIte SoNg.

I know what the song is about, but I have a loose theory that this song is loosely based on the deaths of Russel's Highschool friends. 1: Guns. It was a shooting. That one is kinda self explanatory. 2: At some points in the song you can hear a roar of a car. The shooting was a drive by shooting. 3: Near the end, Russel is pounding on the drums SO HARD. almost like he's really emotional. Breaks my heart :'(

It was kids with guns... are the kids now teens with memes?

Gorillaz : Release a song talking about how we transform our children into monsters giving them weapons Also Gorillaz : Give noodle a gun for melancholy hill's video

my fav part was when they showed the guns, saying kids with guns

when you've spent hours on a project but the teacher gives you a C

So nostalgic and so in love with this band

To this day it's still probably the only song no one can hate, as well as it very popular

when ppl were mad about the new album being "too political." do u think theyve ever actually listened to gorillaz?

me: can we get kids with guns? mom: no, we have that at home kids with guns at home: pumped up kicks

Still one of my favourite songs of all time

2:36 aaaaaaaa love

do you ever just cry because of how amazing gorillaz is like holy shit i never knew i could love a band so much

All rise for the American national anthem.

The outro to this song is the only thing that makes me feel alive

2:41 This part of the song has something special I can't explain

So I remember, during my freshman year of High School, a bomb threat was called and my whole school was put down on lockdown. I was stuck in a food closet for most of the day for food class and we all had raisins to eat for lunch, and we are cramped by sitting in the same position for four hours. We heard members of a bomb threat unit walking cautiously, guns ready, outside of the closet moving from room to room. I remember at the end of the day, I was walking out of the building to see men dressed in kevlar gear, hold AR-15’s and shotguns, by the doorway. When I was exiting the building, I was playing this song. What a more fitting theme for a day like that.

Great lyrics Great meaning Great instruments used Great beat This song is too underrated, at least dirty harry wasn't underrated

Is no one gonna talk about how the ending of the song is just so emotional but amazing! (By far one of my fave Gorillaz song)

Still remains one of my favourite songs ever

Kids with guns. Adolescents with artillery. Elderly with bombs. Teenagers with knives. Embryos with tanks. Sperm cells with weapons grade uranium. Adults with drones. (Anyone want to keep this chain up?)

next song: military with toys

Gorillaz - Kids with Guns but everytime it displays a new gun it gets faster

Singing this alone in a car is a 2000’s vibe

I'm buying a new Stereo Setup with two ridiculous Floorstanders and a big ass amp. This is the first thing i'm going to play. I'll play the f*ck out of it. Gorillaz

Its nerf or nothing

*kidz bop version of this kids with nerf guns turning us into water* *they also predicted fortnite*

I fucking love that they have a KS-23 included in the list and the actualy diameter of 23mm listed.

What a creative and original comment section!

Kids with guns 21 guns - green day guns for hands - Twenty one pilots Guns-MCR Love Gun- KISS Loves a loaded gun - Alice Cooper Happiness is a warm gun -The Beatles ALMOST ALL MY FAVORITE BANDS HAVE GUN RELATED SONGS WTF

When the shooter doesn't listen to pumped up kicks.

This is so good im gonna cry or smth

I remember being told this song was writen after someone brung a knife to the writer's daughter's school.

When the quiet kid forgets to turn off his web cam.

Am i the only one who loves the part when he says: "they turning us into monsters, turning us into fire...?

After 15 years I came back here to see this work of art

this was actually inspired by a real event with a kid at damon albarn's daughter's school who brought a knife to school

Demon Days has to be one of their best albums without a doubt

The end of this song fills me with nostalgia for some reason

Dam you can feel the calamity in that breakdown . Such a powerful message !

You know what I saw in this video? A gun.

2D singing: kids with guns(smooth) 2D talking: KiDZZ wiT Em G0unZ (boy going through puberty)

Everytime I watch this music video, it never seems to be the same as the last time I watch it. why is that???

0:37 I love this part when the bass is accompanied by the melody❤

I think this song is actually a tribute to Russel. When he was a teen, he went to britan and met lots of rappers and became friends with them. On day they were at a city corner and a group of kids in a car shot all of his friends, and the ghost that posses Russel in Clint Eastwood is Russel's best friend

2D: what should we do for the kid with guns video Murdoc: show a bunch of pictures of guns

*sees title of the song* *automatically thinks of pumped up kicks*

2:58 this point forward mixed with the visuals gives me chills

I'm fascinated by the concept of a gun with a backwards barrel.

Could listen to the last minute of the song until the end of time.

"Could you describe the USA in a phrase?" "Fat kids with guns"

Teniendo en cuenta que en la historia ficticia de Gorillaz este álbum fue producido casi en su totalidad por Noodle, pienso que esta canción representa sus sentimientos al haber pertenecido a un experimento de niños militares, cómo era ese ambiente y el hecho de que fue la única sobreviviente. Es algo triste, la verdad.

I had to return to this song after the tragedy in my hometown, El Paso. My heart goes out to all those who have lost to kids with guns.

Came for the video, stayed for the bass.

2:42 and onward is PURE BLISS.

I feel like this certain Gorillaz song probably would have became number one if it came out more recently. I just think this because with the rise in gun violence in school and you know kids getting their hands on guns and all that. This really has a good message and that's why I love it so much. You're a star Damon! -
