Gorillaz 'Clint Eastwood' intro

The intro to the Gorillaz song Clint Eastwood is the "Rock 1" auto-rhythm on an Suzuki Omnichord OM-300

[anon]

this sounds like the music that plays when the comic relief character shows up in an old-school 2D JRPG

“Mom can we get the Clint Eastwood intro?”
“No we have the Clint Eastwood intro at home”

[mult_]

they just confirmed a few days ago that Damon actually used this exact sample for Clint Eastwood lmao

[GroundBeefBrain]

I LeGIT THOUGHT THIS WAS GONNA BE A SHITPOST

[KRAFTWERKK]

The irony is that the Gorillaz would totally have such an instrument too. I can almost see Noodle sitting in her room and jamming on this thing while Stu... i mean 2D is recording it and doing a mic-check.

Imagine being the japanese guy that got paid beans to write this tune just for it to be ripped off into a hit song 6 years later

[TheLarix]

The same japanese in the 1980s who wrote this preset "Rock-1" could not even imagine that his short composition would become a world hit.

I remember these. Three or four of us were taught how to play these by the school music teacher. We even played a little recital in the gym. The array of buttons in the lower left are for choosing a chord and then you 'strum' that chord by running your thumb along the strip on the right. They sound pretty cheesy but it was super cool for a kid growing up in the 80s.

It's a nice touch that you got an actual gorilla to operate it for this video.

And here we are 2023 where Damon Albam has confirmed this is how he came up with Client Eastwood. Using the Rock One Pre-set.

Ruin my childhood some more!

[headphoneman]

It's funny how it has recently come out in an interview that this is actually what he used to write the song. This exact preset

[melancholymelon]

Remember Damon using this in the Song machine concert, what an amazing moment

[maxterify]

I don't think many people know how many times stuff like this is done.

[boofuls]
