OMG okay so I've always been fucking in love with the group Gorillaz and recently I've been re-watching some of their music videos only to find that they have some kind of funny resemblance to some of our LOA characters.
Just for a little background, Gorillaz is a British originating musical and visual project series about a fictional band of 4 cartoon members that are humans that are trying to look like gorillas(?!). Their music genre is.... kind of hard to categorize. I guess you could say it's like pop with some techno mixed in that often has smooth and catchy rap thrown into some of the songs' mixes. The project started in the late 90s and now it is on hiatus, but I have a feeling that it won't be gone for long. I think that Gorillaz's artwork/animation is done by the artist of the comic 'Tank Girl' and it's fucking amazing.
About the characters, there are four main ones, which are the four that are in the band.
There's 2-D, the lead singer of Gorillaz. He's my favorite because he is a cuuuutiiieeee and he has sick hair which is also a plus (y).
He reminds me of Alexx in various ways, idk. Alexx or Jack Frost. In some music videos he tends to look like sexy lexxy a little bit, but in their only 3D animated music video (which I'll post down a little ways in this post) he looks fucking IDENTICAL to JF so i dunno. He tends to be pretty quiet and gentle but he has a mischievous side because he's a fuckin gorilla(z). I know you'll agree with me I just can't really explain the thing yknow
Then we have Murdoc, the bass player. I think he's the one that non Gorillaz fans know the best because he seems to be the one with the more memorable appearence/personality? He's also the 'mastermind of Gorillaz,' so the band is technically his.
Murdoc is the bigger grump of the group, he gets annoyed easily. He's also a kind of a perv and is a slight ladies' man (as seen in the Feel Good, Inc. video below). Murdoc is cocky and thinks that he can do or get anything he wants if he sets his mind to it. He's also a troublemaker, as you can tell by his devious looks alone.
Anyways, there's no fucking question that Murdoc is another form of a slightly demonic Jack Barakat. Look at the fucking hair, at least in the Clint Eastwood video. He's got one red eye and he wears an upside down cross necklace. He smokes. He likes being naked. He gets all the ladies. There's no fucking question that Murdoc resembles Jack, everyone else get out if you dont agree
Like seriously watch this:
"Aye look Our singahh 2D's ova there-
AY FACESAKE!!!!!!"
As for the tiny Japanese girl, that's Noodle. She's the guitarist. I haven't read up on too much about the backstories behind the characters, but I do know that she was apparently left on Murdoc's doorstep when she was really young or something and Murdoc saw potential in her or something so he kept her so that she could play guitar for Gorillaz...??? I think that's accurate? Maybe not? Oh well
In the start of Gorillaz she's aged 10, but as the group progresses over the years she ages and last time I checked, before Gorillaz went on hiatus she was about 22 years old. It makes sense because the first Gorillaz music video was in 2000 or so, and 12 years later was their last one?
Anyways, Noodle is a really adorable and peppy little sprout. She's like a little sister to the Gorillaz (although I have a feeling that maybe as she ages 2D develops a feeling for her or something because not gonna lie she gets pretty fucking gorgeous by the age of 22) and is always cheerful (at least as a child). In the DARE music video she walks into her room and says 'HALLOOOOO!! :D' to her little friend that she keeps in her room, then she proceeds to have a rockin dance party with it. How cute. That's why she reminds me of Breezy's character, at least the more adorable side of Breezy's character because let's face it, Breezy isn't always so full of glee. Also, if it is true that 2D has feelings for her that means that it would be a reincarnation of Breekarth...~~
As for the drummer, that's Russel. Big ass black dude. He's kind of derpy, I think. But he is also considered to be a badass.
I have no fucking idea who he represents in terms of LOA characters. The only one I can think of that could possibly be a good match would be Zak. >:| But idk.
Anyways, now that you've been filled in, you should watch some of their crazy awesome music videos while listening to their catchy ass tunes.
Be warned, some of them are somewhat strange.

This one is probably the most advanced Gorillaz video ever made. It's phenominal, even though it is strange. 2D looks like JF in this video way more than he looks like Alexx.
