Bands advertising odd things
 

On hearing about Devandra Banheart advertising dairy products, I realised that there are increasing numbers of bands being used to advertise amusing things.

Example, Bob Dylan looking like a scary old man

Any more?

I`m still to work out why Sky got Ronnie Corbett & Alice Cooper to make ads for them.

omg....i can't find words...omg!

AHH! I remember this!

There's always Methodman and Redman advertizes deodorant.

didnt alice cooper advertise for office max a year or two ago?

MxPx advertising diet Pepsi. That was so dumb. At least have it be REGULAR Pepsi!! :)

i find it strange when people do that....i still find it wrong with celebrities advertising anything, that's what models are for...........ahh life of the rennaissance(spell check?) celebrity.........they need the money because they can't live without their placenta face moisturiser and golden toilets(soo cool!)

Black Eyed Peas advertising Dr. Pepper.

Kiss outdoes every band when it comes to band merchandise, theres kiss everything now, even toilet paper. I wonder why they never started doing ads for other products? If they did, i dont remember seeing anything about it. I wouldnt be surprised though to see gene simmons on an ad for mouthwash or hairspray.

(and the scooby doo cartoon with kiss is one of my all time favs)

kiss, mouthwash. cool,necessary.

and it became much worse when bam margera decided to hop on the deoderant band wagon.

Bam is now doing this ad.


EDIT, I didnt notice the post above. :)

I guess the people who advertise deoderant just stink... Haha, the corniest joke ever!

KISS did an ad a while back, but I am not sure what it was for. Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are sitting in lounge chairs poolside. I think it is for a hotel chain, but I can't be 100% sure.


here's a little piece of music trivia...the very first rap/hip hop artist to ever endorse a national product was Kurtis Blow. He did Sprite commercials back in 85 or 86.

tom green did it for a while, too.

oh jesus, i remember that. tom green is one crazy dude.

poor guy got nut cancer

and now he's got one testi. no wonder drew divorced him.

alan jackson sold out to ford

Who cares? Just stop bumping old threads, its pointless.

Blindness by The Fall is being used in the U.S in a car advert.

Some people might accuse them of selling out , I don't really care.
I just want to meet the advertising exec who had the balls to use them in a national campaign.

Of Montreal sold out to Outback steak house... and then released their best album to date.

Is it lame when artist sell out.... yes.

Would you do it for money.... probably.

Should you blame them.... not really, it just makes them that much cooler if they dont.
