A lot of people see a Nissan ad and they see a finished product in a record store or on iTunes and that's the face of the band.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think radio is selling records like they used to. They'd hawk the song and hawk the artist and you'd get so excited, you'd stop your car and go into the nearest record store.
I really hate it when I see other bands selling their music to commercials.
The vocals are what immediately draw people in and sell the song.
When no one's buying your records, it's easy to justify selling a song. But once you start selling records, you can't really justify having two songs in Cadillac commercials. It looks greedy. And it is greedy. This whole music thing should be about music.
The record companies are interested in the kind of sales they can get from the rock groups.
Well it's because the record companies are pumping away with their commercial stuff. I think it's a shame.
And looking at today's music scene, I think it's cool that there are a lot of consumers and fans not limited by what radio and the record companies tell them to buy.
I see myself as the buffer between the band and the record company.
People sometimes say that bands sound like The Cars, but when I hear it I don't know if they do or not.
Every automobile ad looks alike.
