Title: Black Sabbath songs used on commercials!
Post by: Charger on February 28, 2018, 04:45:54 PM
I was just watching tv tonight (Quantico to be exact but that's really beside the point) and saw a commercial for that crappy Nissan Qashqai suv-wannabe...but it wasn't the car that caught my attention it was the music...I was already on my way to the bathroom when I was stopped at my heels with a very familiar riff and was rather surprised...

Here's the commercial:



This made me wonder what other Black Sabbath tunes have been used on commercials...the only one that comes to mind was Iron Man for the Iron Man movie trailer.

Don't think there are that many....

I think that's the full list.

"Hey, let's advertise our lettuce using the song 'Sweet Leaf'!"

"You're fired!"

:doh:

On a side note, why is that company naming a car after a nomadic tribe in Iran?

Good question! I have no idea.


Back to the topic, hm, more or less, here's Ozzy solo, rather than Sabbath, but still a little funny:

Actually their singing of of tune makes it pretty similar to some Sabbath live concerts and moments e.g. during the "13" tour.  :P

I am not aware of any other examples, though my guess is that Paranoid was probably used several times...

^^Love it

Again this one's not Sabbath but very much part of the Sabbath family... This commercial got a run on Aussie TV and radio for a solid 6 months last year. There was a couple of different versions as well as a shortened version.
Whenever it came on at dinner time the family would all look at me for my reaction or if it was coming from another room it would be "Daad.. Dio"  :rockon:

Has "Sweet Leaf", "Iron Man", "Supernaut", "Sabbath Bloody Sabbath", "Paranoid", "N.I.B.", and "Black Sabbath."

And with Iron Maiden as the opening band... my guess is that the singer on all those tracks for the promo wasn't the singer on the stage... :smug:

This has to be a fake promo...Iron Maiden never opened for Sabbath.

They only played together at the infamous Ozzfest 2005 tour and there was no April dates on that one...

That's what I thought. OK, well, it's Black Sabbath used in a fake ad...
