Am I the only one that thinks this commercial is WAY overplayed? It's a nice commercial and I love Aerosmith, but it's starting to be burned into my retinas . Over and over and over and over; I'M GONNA PUKE !! Marketing--gotta love it.

 

Max,

Not only is it way overplayed, but I hate that damn thing. Aerosmith's music has got to be some of the sappiest crap around. Don't get me wrong, they were one of Rock's greatest bands, but I emphasize "were". I really thing Permanent Vacation was there last truly great album, but you could make a case for "Pump".

My general rule, rock bands really start to suck after they stop using drugs (not that I promote using drugs)...I cannot prove this for a fact, but it's a strong correlation, like smoking and lung cancer...

 

Very funny !! The song gets way more airplay this way. IMO Aerosmith must have signed a bad contract. Can you imagine Steven Tyler next to you at a light in that truck anyway???

 

Steven Tyler! That's what the front end of the new Dodge looks like! Yeah, I'm glad you said that!

 

I can't believe they did it. Sell out so soon?


We were supposed to go see Aerosmith on Sep 11th......

They had to cancel... maybe next year........

 

I for one am sick of seeing Aerosmith at all, I agree they were good once also. They should have stopped the comeback after two albums or so
Now it's like they're beating a dead horse, seems like whatever movie Stevens daughter is in, they get on the soundtrack. I also agree with the fact that most bands suck after they stop using drugs. It's a sad fact, but true(Remember Motley Crue,LMAO),,,,,,98

As for the Dodge commercial, I have no comment Can anyone even understand what he's supposed to be singing??? LOL.

I have discussed that very issue many times over many years with many experts...(read: a few times at a couple bars with some dip****s I call friends). Anyway, I guess I've come to the conclusion that it isn't really drugs (although they are a good indicator), but just an overall lifestyle. When these bands come off the street (literally off the street) they are partaking in everything they sing of (think of Guns N' Roses, Motley Crue, Aerosmith, etc). I think musically it's easier to write and sing about drugs, skirting the law, and messing around with 100s of different women when you are a scrawny 25 year old, living in a $8 / day motel in L.A., doing cocaine and spending half your nights in jail. It becomes very hard when you are 35, have 10 mansions, two kids, the beginnings of male pattern baldness, and a little beer belly. Can you imagine Vince Neil hanging up the phone with his Fidelity broker after deciding to buy 20,000 shares of Cisco Systems and turning to write, "Wild Side", or Axl Rose to write "Welcome To The Jungle"???? Just doesn't work.

Anyway, I agree with Max about the bad marketing idea. "The new mayor of Truckville"???....More like the new mayor of "Suckville"..

 

I understand what your saying, you make a good point That's the same thing that I meant, I just put it in to less eloquent wordage, LOL. It's hard to write hardcore rock n roll when your sleeping in a king size bed and driving the latest Range Rover BTW, Dodge finally got some ***** and put 20's on the new trucks. I guess it's Chevys' turn next, hehehe,,,,98

 

Can say about the US, but Aerosmith Canadian tour is sponsored by Dodge. So this is a two way abuse of out senses.

98screamer, I think we both know whats next... Chevy and Backstreet Boys doing the marketing thing.

 

I'd like to thank Max, Aerosmith, and Dodge for causing me to permanently have that stupid tune in my head....Just push play, blah blah blah blah blah.....Maybe Dodge could start a trend by actually having people pay them not to run their ads....

If I may, I'd like to introduce the commercial(s) that have annoyed me the most (the Dodge commerical ranks 2nd). They are the Subway commericals. First they had some fatass named Jerrod that lost 800 lbs by eating vegie subs and diet cokes for breakfeast, lunch, and dinner. Now they've got some dip**** that goes from store to store interrogating employees about the freshness of their product, abducting them, and taking them to Subway for a fresh sandwhich.

Coming in 3rd for the Bronze is the commercial for the Avalanche....."Excuse me, change for a dollar?"....."Hey, wanna switch?" And then cool guy goes and changes his overgrown transformer plastic green machine into a truck with no rear protection from the elements...That's just ingenious, going from a ugly piece of crap SUV to a truck with severe limitations (and still ugly).

 

How about those dumb Coors Light commercials with the two idiots on the living room couch? I think there are three different versions. They were really overplayed here in New England for the Red Sox games and are getting equal play for the MLB playoffs. My favorites are the Southwest Airlines and "Must be football season" commercials. How about the Budweiser Clydesdale and Mouse ad? ennis

 

You know which commercial i hate with a passion, is that one for Raisan Bran. There's those women working out across the street in spandex, and then the camera pans out and you see the telescope and hear two guys going: "Ohh yeah, thats great. etc." Then they show these two dirty guys eating Raisan Bran. That commercial sucks. That one guy needs to shave off his afro and that other guy needs to get a new suit. His suit looks like i'ts from the 70s and made out of Burlap

 

Well, I for one think it's apropos. Tell me if you don't think they didn't design the Dodge Ram's grill after Steve Tyler's mouth...

 

It looks like Aerosmith is whoring (sp?) themselves out anywhere for exposure. Remember the Super Bowl halftime show?

DF

 

I have to agree. I now hate Aerosmith. Everything after Permanent Vacation sucks big time. "Pink is my favorite color", "Jaded". Do you need more examples. When they "sang" at the Superbowl w/Britney Spears they hit rock bottom. I don't think they'll help Dodge sell trucks. But hey, until Dodge puts in a real engine they won't sell no matter who is promoting them...
