Nooooooo! Unknown ruined Arcade Fire for me

So, they actually went and put Arcade Fire in a Unique commercial...😲 😲 😲
Honestly, I feel like there should be a special, dedicated circle of musical purgatory just for people who pull stunts like this...😠 😠

Yikes.
Luckily, I haven't caught the commercial yet...
Did they actually include that part where they're shouting "lies! lies!"? That would be just perfect for a commercial. 😬

Yeah, they really are... 🙂

I guess... why does that even matter?

I mean... they aren't going to commercialize them... they just don't have that kind of stuff in their repertoire anyway... Rebellion is really the only label that could have even considered something like this...
It’s not like they couldn't have looked to Franz Ferdinand, though. They were smart enough to turn down the cash. 😛

No way, they just totally disrespected Arcade Fire 🙄

I’m honestly just waiting to see if everyone else weighs in before I decide whether or not to finally give up on them. 🙄

I mean, honestly, how could anyone possibly resist posting anything here?

😍

They just completely ruined Apples in Stereo for me by using them in an ad for those slimy corporate types over at HP.🙂

Seriously, wtf.

What is wrong with you people? That’s just plain false. Franz Ferdinand are icons specifically because they have enough backbone to reject commercial tie-ins, whereas anyone who sells out for an ad is absolute trash. Honestly, does anyone even have a brain left? 🤮

There’s an entire thread dedicated to this. Is that really not enough reason for you to tune them out?🙄

Indie music was indie music, and it stayed that way

It seems to me that mistypanther is so blinded by rage he doesn't even realize he's actually agreeing with Borg 😂

I personally don't have any real issue with music being used in commercials—honestly, I’m not some radical anti-establishment type... money is necessary. You need it for a cabin up in the mountains, for traveling across the USA, for getting an album pressed, for diapers, coffee, vinyl, and all those other little things that just make life worth living... 🙂

Look at him being a total killjoy and ruining all the fun😁

Kevin Chavez3 said:My take? mistypanther is just so incredibly worked up—honestly, it’s almost funny—that he doesn't even realize he's actually agreeing with Borg😂

That certainly brings a smile to my face...

this guy is actually 🤣 🤣

I just flashed back to seeing Dylan in that Victoria's Secret ad 😍
I really don't get the whole obsession with commercials. Like, so what if they're in an ad?
But hey, I’m a stinking capitalist—and the worst kind at that—a total loan shark 😢

Honestly, I don't care about the commercials. Whether the band is making bank or not isn't my business—it's all about the music.

Death to those greedy, filthy musicians selling their souls to disgusting, exploitative corporations!!!!
They’re all nothing but greedy scum!
Even Johnny Cash! He did a Levi's commercial once!
To hell with him!
Oh look, he's already dead!
Even better!

Fuck this bullshit
