PedroHammers Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 which song is in the commercial? i doubt that i would be able to see it where i am... considering there lyrics and there writings i find it infuriating that they would take a sell out step such as this.

I agree, their not the first, nor will they be the last. I admit it kinda of hurts, But there comes the time when great bands want more money, and to do so they sell their soul to the devil. It may not be the money they made from the commerical, because you are right, there probably is very little. However the money they will make from the mass public hearing the song and liking it.

JohnnyHorton Posted August 20, 2003 Share Posted August 20, 2003 bottom line you still going to listen to modest mouse after seeing the commercial? I admit it, I was a little taken aback when i heard it (mm are one of my favorite bands too...) but I'm still going to enjoy their music regardless of whether nissan payed them for their music or not...
