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.

Was that really classic rock though?

2 RepliesOp hates classic rock Op wants pop Op complains about a [u]freaking[/u] ad Op is clearly a child

OP just made a complete twat of himself.

I love Zeppelin but it does not fit into the whole universe of Destiny. Activision is pushing hard to make Destiny their alternative to COD franchise (states that in their shareholder report) to retain their player base one way or another.
-
Then you have no clue what real musical talent is if that ad bothers you smh.
-
My favorite destiny ad yet. Probably only because of the music and Titan lines. Everyone has their own opinion, yours just sucks.
-
I want freakin ACDC
-
Well, I enjoyed the ad.
-
So we complain about the ads now too? Midleading? I don't get this post.
-
I thought it sounded dumb. Didn't sound serious at all lol. I think this game needs like the epic orchestra music that signifies an important battle going on. That always fits right in with games like this. It should give you goosebumps haha

Edited by silentpheonix17: 9/11/2015 3:18:55 PMThe live action ads are just for show and directed towards an audience who likes live action stuff. As for the music it fits the bill. Yea there's a lot of other song Bungie could have used. Yet by choosing Led Zeppelin as a band of choice, it brings in older audience. Again the live action ads are not to be taken seriously, but only for fun.

1 ReplyThey need a Dragonforce song on, like THRU DA FIRE AND DA FLAMES!

I liked both ads, guess I'm just not a hater.

Gus fring why u deceive me??

Then next time it comes on slap your LORD cd or Coldplay greatest hits in play your fav songs then go back to eating Cheetos naked watching I am cait

You have failed to explain why you don't think classic rock or other is appropriate. Just stated its not. Lots of games use music in trailer/adverts that do not appear in the game. That's not misleading advertising, that's someone choosing something that they think compliments the product.

This is literally the only petition I can truly get behind. It's like bungie subbed out the work to the CoD marketing team.
-
I like the song always have but I agree it doesn't fit.

2 RepliesI thought it was -blam!-ing badass. "Let's give them something to dance to" HEY HEY MAMA...

Soooooooorry for liking classic rock.
-
I like classic rock and led Zeppelin just as much as anybody, but that doesn't mean I'm going to put that music to everything I advertise. Destiny is a sci if rpg shooter. It should have fitting music in the adverts, or just more fitting adverts in general.

I thought the ad in general sucked lol I feel like the greatest thing bungie has done with taken king is release update 2.0 and make the new crucible maps playable early. That alone sent my hype level through the roof, I have never been this excited for a game
