Petition to Never Use Classic Rock in a Destiny Advert Again

Signed. After seeing the Japanese add, I cant even laugh at how shitty the American one is. Who do these adds even appeal to? EDIT: Lets not make assumptions about musical taste. Any form of popular music would have been inappropriate. Pop, rap, rock... most popular songs. EDIT 2: Once again, this is not an attack on classic rock or any particular genre. This is about misleading advertising and out of place music in shitty commercials. All the money they spent on it... its trash. EDIT 3: And actual quality Destiny advert: https://youtu.be/jS1BM9XRgvw And another decent one: https://youtu.be/clRpcIHpmoY EDIT: I gotta say, I am amazed how few people get the thread. The vast majority of the posts on this thread essentially boil down to thinking I am insulting a 70s Rock Band and like Dubstep. As though the entire point of the thread flew over their heads and was completely lost on them. I guess I cant expect less from children. But I will say this: I was wrong about the advert. The advert is still an embarassing and misleading schlock epic: money burning on the screen, portraying Destiny as a game of one liners and awesome fist pumping ACTION when in reality, its a very slow moving old school sci fi universe that is highly confusing and has no one liners or bro action AT ALL. But I thought an advert like this would be completely ineffective. I thought it would be a massive failure around here. But I was wrong, since apparently all it takes is a popular song and some schlock get people excited. Damn shame that.

  • Hey bro, as a musician personally... I agree with you, it makes me sick how many times games or movies will use THE SAME OLD classic songs... not that classics are bad... But because it makes the music industry one sided. Its why my personal feelings are that IN AMERICA music is dead, its everywhere now, but its overproduced sold out trash to the same time signature, and a whopping 3 chords. Chances are the people making the commercial have no idea about "modern music" plus they likely have incentives for using Sony brand music. The worst part being a musician is you live long enough to see a change, but realize its left up to the no experience joe, or the mind altering media to tell us "what good music is" Cobain died to avoid becoming the same fascists corporate dogs, that any band today strives for. Classical rock (jazz etc) is great but most of it is owned by the same 3 corporations that will keep shoving it down the medias throat as long as there is still a teenager, buying another beatles t shirt. No point for you to waste time with the forum trolls on this one, just know that I think your right, but we are outnumbered by the average joe. A joe who inherits the music they listen to.
