Hola, iam Alexa Matzke, Don’t miss me too much.
Ace has definitely taken Murdoc’s place - and it’s been quite the transition! It’s been a whirlwind of a ride, but Ace has stepped up to the plate and really made his mark. Whoa, talk about making an entrance! He’s certainly brought a whole new energy to the group, and everyone is loving it. From his unique style to his fresh perspective, Ace is proving that he was meant for this role. So yeah, you could say he’s filled Murdoc’s shoes - and then some!
Why Did Ace Replace Murdoc? [Solved]
In an interview, Damon Albarn confirmed that Cartoon Network had given the green light for Ace to join Gorillaz. He said they chose him as Murdoc’s replacement ‘cause he and Jamie Hewlett felt like there was a spiritual connection between Ace and Murdoc. Pretty cool, huh?
Timeline: Murdoc Niccals was the original bassist for Gorillaz from 1998-2006, when he was replaced by Ace from 2006-present.
Reasoning: The official reason for Murdoc’s departure is unknown, but it is speculated that he was arrested and sent to prison in 2006.
Characteristics: Ace is a much more laid back character than Murdoc, often seen wearing a Hawaiian shirt and sunglasses and playing his bass with a relaxed attitude.
Music Style: Ace’s style of playing is much more melodic than Murdoc’s aggressive punk rock sound, which has been reflected in the band’s music since his arrival in 2006.
Reception: Fans have generally accepted Ace as the new bassist of Gorillaz, although some still miss Murdoc’s presence on stage and in the studio recordings of their albums.
Yeah, Ace totally replaced Murdoc - it was a no-brainer! He’s been doing a great job since he stepped in, and everyone’s really happy with the switch. It’s like night and day compared to before. We all knew it was time for a change, and Ace has been the perfect fit.
