V/vm Playstation Video

[sgtMaxCollin]

so obscure and rare and strange, like deep human behavior, like the music of v/vm, too raw for the masses...and for the regular videogame fans, too youngs

[p3on]

guys look downthread a little, v/vm himself ( @vvmtest ) commented

[Conkern65]

I love you V/Vm.

[weuweuweu]

how is supposed to be an endorsement for playstations

seriously

[AVanTeller]

ladies and gentleman V/VM destroying a conventional love song

into an apocalypse love hymn

[LuckyNinja]

This is fantastic. Damn. The dude, the medic and the girl's expressions are all perfect. The tune is fucking outstanding. Shame this never aired and the song will never be released. :(

[HolyCrispyCrap2]

What the fuck did I just watch?

[SuperHappyCow]

@HolyCrispyCrap2 A sort of tribute to the movie Platoon?

[yngbullwnohorns]

Why buy a ps3? Just join the military - they even pay you to kill people I hear

[vvmtest]

Funnily enough the reason this advert never made it to air was because of an internal dispute at the advertising agency. This was made in South Africa but London held the Sony account, despite Sony wanting to run the ad the agency pulled rank with the London office and it never made it to broadcast.

[FlameAdder]

Yup, this sure makes me want to buy (another) PS3.

[lukespooky]

i wish they would fucking run this, it's a masterpiece

[Nimnoms]

Yay, I can get the feeling of being drafted into Vietnam!

What a stimulation starved nation.

[phedex]

get over yourself. Besides, you have tourrettes guy and some other inane stuff on your favorites list, its not like you're a bastion of intelligence and we're all tools; Our generation is starved of a number of things. In any case, This commercial blows me away, the haunting music does wonders for it. They should have put this on one of the super bowls.

[heyayayaaa]

@Nimnoms we all live in it.

[cj1000xyu]

Probably the most moving advert ever made. Whoever was behind the decision not to air this needs to meet the same fate as the soldier in this video.

[ELCNUmorFnaMehT]

Dark and twisted... Playstation adverts used to be so artistic and inventive once upon a time. It's a shame they never kept that tradition up even if this particular advert is pretty fucked up

[eyespy8088]

Powerful and haunting commercial. Too bad it never aired. I always love V/Vm's music.

[Tulkastaldo]

Forever young was always an eery song to me. It would not influence me to buy a playstation though. It's more like "buy a playstation and be lost in a dreary glue-sniffing induced war world forever"

[sloochy]

@Tulkastaldo - and what part of that wouldn't be awesome?

[traptedmind]

o_O

[swallowmyeggnog]

O__o

[dkdkssks]

Does anyone else find this intentionally horrible? It's like the central message is "hey, you can experience the thrill of the conflict that killed your parents' friends without coming home in a pine box or wheelchair thanks to this game console we built."

[Chamele7n]

That's what we do anyway, whether we admit it or not. Even anti-war fiction like Saving Private Ryan or Metal Gear Solid glorifies the action. It's all entertainment. Kinda messed up, but meh, that's people for you.

[AssBurgerDeluxe]

@Chamele7n Lol dude you must be such a beta male

[mistarcraw]

capitalizm

[copaceticetal]

Perfect.

[fleko1]

awesome

[zoddman]

It's really good, but definitely too dark and disturbing for primetime television. Still miles better than the creepy laughing baby doll.

[TheDeliciousCake]

nice ad

[ExcessiveSpareTime]

Wow. This is... dark. I only wish History Always Favors The Winners (his new label) dealt in something other than pounds...

[grinick]

Wow, this is amazing

[TheAce187]

What the fuck?

[Darkcyde404]

This is such a haunting commercial and song, I'm surprised they didn't use it!

[Blahsmack]

ahahha platoon

[hollenhammer]

Platoon 2: Playstation

[DeliciousBaconMan]

This might be one of the best things V/VM ever did. I don't believe he never made the full version.

But oh well...maybe that's the point.

[DavnKincade]

Actually, this sounds a million times better....turning down made it darker and it fit this commerical to a tee.

[jthjfdjht]

Take a popular song, and drop the quality to the point that it's less like music, and more like noise.

Wow, what a genius...

[BillyPilgrim114]

Thank you for posting this; this video is just awesome.

[Trucidar]

Unfortunately the one minute remix of this song heard here is it's entirety. This song is on the V/vm boxset "less of what you want, more of what you need" disc 7. Release date TBA. There is no plans to make a longer version at the moment.

[sockironer]

dude Im an avid james kirby fan,I checked out the tracklisting for the 7th disc on the vvm/brainwashed site and there are 2 versions, an advert mix and an original mix, of course both might be 1 minute,,but fingers crossed huh?

[Trucidar]

I spoke to him, he said the 1 minute version is all he ever made. :(

[Trucidar]

We need to start a campaign to release this song.

[3SirCrimson3]

Holy shit, this rules.

[halfcastfrompast]

this is dumb

[MJTurbo]

fucking amazing advert

[menacelamenace]

this is pure genius!

[laplantine]

me tooo, i want to be forever young.

[fastroadkill]

[ketacore]

[fh3r7]

This ad its one of my favorites, really nice concept, great production and a good and weird remix for that great 80´s song from Alphaville.
