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.

  • After viewing all these comments I could actually come to a conclusion that people really hold classic rock to a extremely high regard... Now instead of just trying to shove your taste of music down someone's throat, you could perhaps understand that there are people who just don't like your style of music? Also, the majority of people are right. this song really didn't fit with the ad's theme. When watching the video, I really was expecting some more grand music of what the taken king has to offer... Not a classical rock song. (no disrespect) Yes, I understand that the music of today is not what you want but, you must see that something other than your favorite would actually benefit the video... If Bungie put a Turmion katiliot for the release of a raid? Do you believe I would be happy? Sure, but I still would question why it was played for Destiny.
