sacredheart Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 What band has ever said they just wanted to write a song for a commercial and that be it? I seriously cant think of one. I nkow bands have had songs become huge in commercials but the song wasnt written for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeine Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 my friend had a job writing jingles! kinda related but its not. Sell out! I had to make radio 'stingers' for projects when I was in school. One of my profs was a jingle master, he had a ton on radio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That kind of bullshit. Like I said when they pay a record label to use a Hum song in a car commercial that is an entirely different situation, but there are some bands especially nowadays that get big off having their first song placed in a commercial.

codeine Posted July 9, 2014 Share Posted July 9, 2014 *Looks left and right to make sure there are no haters around*Here's the garbage I'm talking about: Nobody writes this crap cause they like to play it. They're trying to appeal to the broadest audience possible by being boring. Seriously, who writes crap like this? If you can't smell this hot garbage from a mile away I feel bad for you.When I was in school they taught us crap like 'Always make sure your vocals start before your song hits the 30 second mark. Make sure all your songs are 3:30 long.' All telltale signs of buillshit music.'We need a hooky chorus - the kind that could sell an automobile!'These songs don't even need to have verses. They are basically just an intro motif and a chorus hook. Believe me I have studied composition. There is a blueprint to writing dull music.The thing about good music is it doesn't follow a formula, and that's what makes it good. Sure you can use all the tools and materials, but what you build is up to you! If you are building copies of stuff someone else built, you are unoriginal and for that reason, you suck! anthemforadoomed and whose_thare 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parkinglot Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Can we shit on Lana again now that Ultraviolence is out?I had never given her a chance until recently. Ultraviolence is boring for the most part, but I'm actually enjoying Born To Die. Overrated? Yes. But I do enjoy quite a few songs. I don't get the crazy hype though.

If they ever ask just be like "NO!! I FUCKING HATE MUSIC!! DON'T BRING IT UP TO ME EVER AGIAN!!!
