steventangent Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 "Here's the deal, folks. You do a commercial - you're off the artistic roll call, forever. End of story. Okay? You're another whore at the captialist gang bang and if you do a commercial, there's a price on your head. Everything you say is suspect and every word that comes out of your mouth is now like a turd falling into my drink." Bill Hicks "Apparently, the highest compliment our culture grants artists nowadays is to be in an ad — ideally, naked and purring on the hood of a new car."

idreamofpunk Posted February 26, 2012 Share Posted February 26, 2012 I'm all for one of my favorite bands getting paid. How was bill hicks being on network television different from a band licensing their music for a commercial? I mean, I like bill, but that quote in particular is really ignorant of an artist's need to actually make money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamlikesmusic Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 That's cool. After all the love MTV was giving them a few weeks ago, this isn't as much of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

idreamofpunk Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 Okay. That's fine. I don't think Bill cares if I disagree with him, though I guess i could ask Dennis Leary what he thinks Bill would think, seeing as how that fuckshit stole bill's entire persona.

jonnywreck Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 My friend had a song played on some episode of Real World, like, 5 years ago. Dude still gets a nice chunk of change pretty regularly. I'll take that any day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steventangent Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 It's just a sad commentary on the state of things that suddenly having your songs in a commercial is considered just as legitimate a way as any for a band to make money. And where does your comfort level with that kind of paid-for endorsement end? Just with products you don't find objectionable? What if it's a commercial for Schwanson Brand Seal Clubs? What if it's a song being used in an endorsement for Rick Santorum? What I think is totally ridiculous is how many of those same people would be the first to shit all over a band if they were to, say, have a reunion tour, with expensive tickets and 15 shirt designs and deluxe rereleases of their records. Because cashing in on your own legacy is considered selling out. But using your music to sell shitty ass fast food is just good business. What a race to the bottom.

steventangent Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I talk a lot of shit, but if someone offered me a briefcase full of cash for one of my shitty songs, I won't lie and say I wouldn't consider it. I can't blame anyone for doing it...some bands don't even get a choice. But I do think it's unfortunate, and it does sort of ding their cred in my book.
