"At the end of the day I havent compromised our music. I'm doing exactly what I want to do. If Nissan is willing to offer us a shit-ton of money, well, I dont want really make that much being on Epic, and I gotta keep the lights on" ... from the man himself and shit, money is pretty cool. why not?
I've been a fan of modest mouse since baron von bullshit, and I know that the fact that they licensed gravity rides everything for this was blatantly commercial, but they needed to do this for financial stability.
OMG im gonna by a nissan now. this advertisement did its job. did you guys know that saying nothing at all about the car you are trying to sell in a commercial is the best way to sell it?
(i just thought i would say something about the commercial since no one else does... oh and gotta go to work, gotta go to work, gotta have a job. everyone needs to make money.)
Hmm. I dont like the idea of them becoming a wide spread band like this, but lets just hope they dont and its not bad for a band to use a commercial to make some better financial decisions. I just hope it doesnt go much farther then this.
TO quote Nathan Explosion of Metalocalypse: "Though I do not believe this is the right thing to do artistically, I do, however, believe that this is the right thing to do FINANCIALLY!!"
and Brock even said in an interview he wasn't trying to sell out, just gain some financial stability, which if you're a musician you gotta get it sometime, you can't stay d.i.y. indie rock forever if you want to live a nice life and keep making music
Holy crap! I KNEW I had heard "Gravity Rides Everything" when I listened to it for the first time, but I couldn't for the life of me remember where. I was even humming along with the song, on my first time listening to it. It really freaked me out.
!!! Same thing with me. My friend was showing me some Modest Mouse, since they are the best band I've ever heard. And he started this ong, and I was like 'I know this! Is this a cover or something?'. After looking the song up, I found it wasn't a cover, then remember hearing it on T.V. then somehow remembered I heard it In a Car commercial almost 3 years ago. Haha.
@ the people that don't like Modest because of this. With out the funds from this, modest wouldn't be here, making amazing music.
I'm not sure how "when we die, some sink and some lay" sells minivans, but whatever gives money to Isaac and his crew, I guess. They deserve it.

Poor use of the song. Seems more like a sky/mountain one. Should have shown a car driving across a mountain with ocean and skyline at it's back. IMO

People can call them sellouts if they please, but this got them a lot of attention. And if that keeps them making music, then that's fine by me.
