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.

5 RepliesSigned. Should have stuck with what Marty had composed. Made the add feel cheap and try hard.

Agreed. It's mindless pandering. The music in Destiny is one of the good things, and it's hardly noticeable. They should put more focus on that great score.
-
I liked it. *shrugs*
-
It's why Marty left!!
-
I loved it....lol

2 RepliesBump. Felt so out of place. Can Activision marketing realize that not every fps is call of duty

Edited by Senor Crouch: 9/11/2015 7:00:53 AMFunny that I found this thread, as I posted a comment in another thread not too long ago touching upon this topic: "I find it highly curious that these live action video trailers for Destiny use 3rd party music rather than Destiny's own epic scores. Not to say anything against the musical scores used in the trailers, God knows they are masterpieces in their own right, but there is a bit of a disconnect between the emotions Destiny seeks to portray and the emotions brought about from the scores played in these trailers. But then again, Activision has long since forgotten what it means to be a gamer, selling that part of their soul many moons ago to the lust of money. So I would no longer expect them to understand the concepts of tone, continuity, or conveyance of a video game." I will sign.

The trailer sucked. The music was out of place and the snarky attitudes of the guardians were really annoying.
-
-
It doesn't suit the overall theme of The Taken King. They should have had something more ominous.
-
6 RepliesI personally dislike the music and I feel they shouldn't of used it for Destiny. What about future/magic and hell spawn screams '70s rock? I just can't see how this adds up.
-
Idk man makes it seem fun
-
I don't usually mute people, but your stupid uncultured ass just gave me a reason to make an exception. Hope you choke on Crotas dick
-
It doesn't fit the game
-
3 Repliesafter I make this comment I'm muting him. Led Zeppelin is great. I'm glad they got some 70s classic rock in there. I wasn't even born in that era, but their music is legendary.
-
Ahem to the guardians black sabbath is the shit
-
Didn't mind the song itself, just seemed out of place for the ad. Still liked the ad, just wished it was a little longer like the first one too :)... The trailers are great!
-
I cringed when I first heard it. Not gonna lie. I love the classics. That just wasn't the right time or place for that song. I think games do best with instrumental soundtracks. Not Led Zepplin.

3 RepliesI guess the Wyld Stallyns didn't change music in the future...
-
6 RepliesAs much as you'd probably love a Justin Bieber or wiz kalifa song on a destiny add I'm gonna have to stick with classic rock.
-
Zep is good but when it first came on I cringed, then laughed. It pretty much killed it for me as far as the trailer goes.
-
Loved it personally.
-
Seriously, they should've just went with "Eye of the Tiger". Nothing gets you more pumped for fighting than "Eye of the Tiger".
-
i love old classic rock but yeah using it in trailers etc is getting stale
-
I loved it
