MERGED--> ALL I-TUNES/I-POD VERTIGO COMMERCIAL DISCUSSION HERE

[tkramer]

Nah, I wasn't there. I just collected all the evidence, put my brilliant mind to work and came to that conclusion. In other words, I'm guessing.

Still, I think it's a very educated guess. In fact, if I turn out to be wrong, I promise to go out and buy a Maroon 5 CD to punish myself.

Dude, I believe you, no need to punish yourself like that...

The 2 min ad is awesome. It would be great seeing it in the theatre.

 

[innocent_eyes]

The ad will debut during the Yankees/Red Sox game...
The two diversions I care about most, The Yankees and U2...
...And I'm stuck at work

Ok, let's get this straight. The shots of the band seen on the itunes ad are are from the shoot in Spain. They may be outtakes, they may be in the actual video, we don't know. But, either way, the official video will look nothing like the itunes ad. It won't have the same graphic style, the band will not appear as silluetes, and we'll certainly be seeing the Spanish desert scenery (they went there for a reason, after al).

I think that's the general consensus here, after the debate we've been having this afternoon.

Thank you. I think Jaxx nailed it.

You said it. It doesn't get much better than this.

 

[clementine_rose]

I can't see the video because I have Windows 98...is there some other way to see the video? I really want to see it and was willing to pay the $.99, but then it said that I couldn't download iTunes because I don't have the right system. Help me...please? I want to see the video!

 

[Murray]

U2 are brilliant

I just saw the "Vertigo" iPod add on MTV2 and I realized what a world of good that will do for the band and for iPod. "Vertigo" will be a hit and so will iTunes. Thank heavens U2 have finally done something smart for this album (what with the name and cover)!

 

[what a bomb!]

that is the most kickass video since the fly! even if its just a ad! love it!

 

[U2democrat]

yeah i'm convinced sales will boost bigtime thanks to this ad. the song will get stuck in people's heads and cause them to buy it.

 

[indigo tree]

It's great seeing Adam getting mobile again.

Exactly what I was thinking.

 

[Foxxern]

The spot was just on during the Red Sox-Yankees game.

 

[edgeu22]

They just showed the ad..

Now that should get some buzz for the new album.. mostly good.

Boston is getting beaten down by the Yankees.. again.

Go Cardinals.

 

[Nate Dogg]

THAT TV ad got has got me pumped!!!!!!!!!

 

[Sicy]

OMG I just saw it on TV for the first time ever.. I haddnt even read this thread yet

HOW COOL!!

 

[Grindstone]

Vertigo Itunes Commercial

fyi: just saw it as a commercial on the Yankees-Red Sox game

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

lmao. i just finished watching it on my computer and then the commerical came on my tv. lol perfect timing.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

me too.

 

[drivemytrabant]

Just saw it during the Sox/Yankees game. I am PUMPED. That was totally awesome!

 

[indigo tree]

Do you know when they will show it again?

 

[Phalanx]

It's supposed to be in the commercials on "Scrubs".

 

[U2Fanatic4ever]

me three!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just saw the extended 2 min version at the itunes store!

VERY COOL!!!!!!!! AND IF FRIGGIN ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[nurse chrissi]

Jet did this with "are you gonna be my girl" and that song exploded over here - I think this is a brilliant marketing stratagy on both U2's and Apple's part. Not to mention the ad is just freakin cool. This a way for U2 to get to people who no longer listen to the radio because of mp3 players etc. Brilliant.

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

I want an iPod.

 

[indigo tree]

Thanks!

 

[u2valleygirl]

How about that Ipod Commercial?

U2 rocked. Bono was in your face! Yeah yeah yeah yeah! The band never looked better.

 

[U2democrat]

Yeah i saw it during the ALCS and started jumping up and down and screaming but my parents yelled at me because they wanted to hear it. It was awesome on the TV screen!

 

[sue4u2]

Saw it 3 times on 3 different channels - between 8 & 9pm central. That was different. Trying to find a commercial. Just awesome is all I can say - oh and fun.
They give me something I can feel. yeah yeah yeah yeah

 

[macphistosmagic]

I was in my room when I heard "uno...dos..tres.." and I ran out to the t.v. in the living room in like half a second. I thought they looked awesome
