Allstate TV: "Ghost Bikes"

[kirimikium]

Oh, how dare you wreck those innocent and beautiful bikes?

[wardegree]

notice the comments about the song not about the bikes

[MrGiovannisassano]

they never crash alone unless there is a ghost on them o.o lol

[beanre1]

it is johnny cash lol

[dwyImike]

The song is VERY SIMILAR TO Johnny Cash "God's Gonna Cut You Down."

[totallycoolboy]

These bikes belonged to the 12 people who disliked this video.

[213Gremlin]

ok i wanna know...i like the song but what kind of guitar is it...not blues guitar, not classical guitar...it sounds like old western or country guitar but i looked up that stuff and cant find anything thats in this general area...i would love that kinda stuff...has a breaking bad feel lol.

[jumpyfrazz13]

hmmm so this is the entire tune of the song or is their more ? =D ( i hope there is)

[Clivias14]

Well..... It worked.....got everyones attention BRAVO:)

[RussianBreed]

dear Allstate... you should put down the name of the artist/song in your future commercials.. (that's if you dont make them yourselves)

also i just love this song you guys made...to bad you couldnt make a whole 3 min song from it :P

[ROBLOXKING99]

What is the Name of the Artist I want the Song!!!!!

[mogstah]

Thanks for trolling me, Allstate - this is why i went with Progressive.

[Bassmanonmasa]

haha yeah very true! it's usually the car driver's fault! lol I agree with the ad! :P

[jibberjabberwock]

Good music. ..But the first shot of the bike running through glass was pretty amazing.

[67mustangreg]

allstate! please release this song on a promo dvd I will love you foreverrr

[xkruulx]

really awesome song with alot of meaning, i know it's allstate's song but did you guys finish it?

[arkansasrazorbackfan]

sounds like true blood

[RuskeyMafios]

can you please turn this into a full length song??? sounds pretty sick

[Dude419]

Hey, this music is awesome. It is however, very similar to Johnny Cash's "God Gonna Cut You Down" if you guys want to check it out.

[Anton7719]

From Young Guns 2...I can't post the site...But Youtube...Type in "Young Guns 2" and play the second reference ... Titled, "Young Guns 2 Credits Blaze of Glory"...

[SeberHusky]

@Anton7719

That would be "Blaze Of Glory" by Bon Jovi.

[Anton7719]

This is coppied from the movie "Young Guns 2"...It's the intro to the title song by Bon Jovi...It's the exact copy..

[ArtisticwithaK]

Oh god, that was painful to watch... all those bikes...

[BlitzergSuites]

What type of genre is this music?

[Isjix]

I seen this commercial, then i'm like, MUST GO YOUTUBE THIS. Because of the music.

[182twilightfreak]

o: they say that the bikes never crash alone.....then why the hell are they showing it?

[moejoe3]

I'm an avid rider, I think the commercial sucks, and so do my friends. Get it together Allstate, real bikers don't like to see crashes.

[alexlogic]

AllState, you really really need my consulting services.

[deafblood]

Gotta say, the concept for this video is amazing and really gets the message across. The music pulls me in every time. :)

[NovaZengear]

Are you able to release the name of the artist of this song, and if they have more works?

Please tell me who the artist is if you can.

[Allstate]

@NovaZengear We created the music specifically for this commercial. We will have a ring tone version of the song available on our Facebook page in the next month or so. Thanks!

[Almondania]

I'm proud to have Allstate.

[smarzotais]

Wow, Allstate really has some serious advertising mojo going on.

[b3astieboi2]

whats the 1st 3rd and 5th bike!! i want it!!

[termanogue]

Yea, the only reason I came back to look at the commercial on youtube was because I wanted to know the song name. It's nice and smooth, I like it, it's catchy.

[parakeetman22]

Gee, they must have a lot of fun at Allstate

[Lizzo13]

Maybe it's just me, but the music sounds SO much like something from Firefly. I can't remember the episode, but there was definitely a song on the show that was very, very similar to this.

[laurencharlesparks]

ANYONE KNOW WHAT SONG THIS IS? i like it!

[Allstate]

@laurencharlesparks Glad you like the song. We created the music specifically for this commercial.

[ITS420PAT]

Ghost bikes because thats the condition they left their riders after any of these crashes... Do we really need to be reminded of what can happen? Real riders don't need these ads.

[rimu5]

As a motorcyclist I'm rather horrified at this commercial! Chances are you are probably not going to survive a crash like that but fear not all state will cover your bike but you just might be dead.

[c0dy1287]

@rimu5 lmao dude that's what I was thinking "protects your bike, protects you" that's to say if your spine and other body parts haven't been relocated to the asphalt, but really the point is if you DO survive some might be wishing they didn't when they get the hospital bill and have no insurance.

[1234lifeisgreat]

@rimu5 id give as many thumbs up if i could

[RTiger18]

I'd like to do a mayhem commerical.

I've got a few in mind.

[DrTHENgr1mReap]

This is great i really love the country tone to the video, im really happy yall chosen a more of a country/rock tone something Johnny cash or willie nelson would do, it fits this very well.

[ARCTrooper202]

Awsome commercial and awsome song!!

[komradeocelot]

Where is our full length version, Allstate? I need more slide guitar in my life.

[alvycolt45]

This ad sucks as they destroyed many bikes, some vintage.

[smarzotais]

@alvycolt45 none of those bikes were particularily rare or expensive.

[Fck4winners]

Bikes dont crash alone

[UltraMarine22297]

okay does anyone else think that this music sounds like its in Left 4 Dead??????????

[osiris1025]

This vid makes me depressed.... all those poor bikes!

[Prinze187]

I love these commercials, this by far is my favorite one with the song....But the Meet Mayhem ones are hilarious

[genson13]

LOVE this music. There should definitely be a full length version it.

[imawesome47]

Hey Allstate, will there be any more Dean Winter commercials out any time soon? There just brilliant. ;)

[btss43]

"Bikes never crash alone." Just ask Ben Roethlisberger.

[KisterKilljoy]

Does anybody know what this genre of music is? I love this sound and no one I know can tell me. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[dream97]

@KisterKilljoy I was wondering the same thing. I love that beat. I've asked and the answers I've gotten is Country, Old Blues, and Folk but looking up those genres, it doesn't sound like any of them.

[cwj9112]

@KisterKilljoy Acoustic Texas Blues would be a pretty close description.

[omeane]

so is there one person that has to read all these comments

[bmxrcodol04]

Ive searched the facebook page, but i cant find the longer version of the song, i really want it D: lol ir is it even up yet?

[Tom777H]

How do you film that?

[mschu307]

This music sounds very similar to Xavier Rudd, especially the song River Groove. Is Rudd the artist you chose for this commercial?

[HavocGunStar]

Good ad, good music

[VESTIMAFIA]

Sounds like something by Ry Cooder, very cool.

[roodeyx]

so relaxing

[KisterKilljoy]

I LOOOOVE this sound and I've been trying to figure out what it's called for the longest time. If anyone could help me out it would be greatly appreciated. -Thanks

[FWqwilo]

the song was composed by Tony Graci, and was written for the commercial. It seems he is a multi-instrument artist who has composed original music for many commercials...hope that helps those out there wishing to know...

[mmneely932]

I love the music! Any chance of finding an extended version anywhere?

[Allstate]

@mmneely932 we are certainly looking into that. We will be releasing the song in a ring tone that will be available on the Allstate Facebook page in the next several weeks! Thanks.

[ra2yuri4]

Ghost Rider's gotta stop getting drunk. It even makes him invisible!

[xXjustcuzzXx]

The music reminds me of Be Gone by Brand New. I thought it was the same thing at first, I was like awesome! But this music is good anyway :)

[fnv2001]

I believe the sample for this song is Zero 7 - This Fine Social Scene. Sounds very similar.

[MyHiDef]

just made it my ringtone

[ProfClaudeBalls]

Powerful commercial, very haunting score. I MUST have this music!

[ducatisti916]

thats not cool. this is giving me anxiety.

[guitarwes04]

I want that song!!!!!

[colorock07]

Thumbs up if you think allstate should make a full version of this song!

[colorock07]

Thumbs up if you want allstate to make a full version of this song!

[CuttaCrosby29]

I HAVE THE SONG EVERYONE!!!, go to my channel for it, no more waiting lol...

[sb7410]

I MUST HAVE THIS SONG!!!!! Allstate, this is your most watched commercial on here because everyone wants the song! With 84,200+ views, you could have made some money selling an Mp3 of it or something for sure! :) As soon as it's available, I will buy it!!

[OperaSally]

I really have to say that this commercial is excellent. The music really catches the audience's attention (you can tell by all the requests made for the soundtrack) making it easy to notice how it accents the movement of the various bikes. Awesome!

[JihadJoe99]

Yeah that music is badd-ass. I wish it was a whole song.

[jacknife91]

I'm a rider, and I really don't get why you other riders say you hate this commercial. Sure it kinda puts a little fear into you, and you need fear to be a safer rider ect., otherwise it's pure arrogance., and arrogance gets you hurt. Riding and thinking nothing bad can happen to you is what You guys obviously don't get the point of this commercial. I like it very much.

[TheDottyrocket]

i love this video its my favorite out of all the allstate videos

[gigimeatball]

who composed this song? I would love to know more about the artist behind it and where I can buy there music.

[SouthernDoom666]

deep louisiana gutter sound i love it!!! any 1 know who this is!?!?!?

[hybridm3]

Sounds alot like Volbeat. Check them out!

[Hussar4Hussies]

Thanks for the memories Allstate, nothing like hyping up the public on the thrills of MC crashes, yeah, all the horrors of a get-off without the collateral damages, makes ya all media heroes eh! Only those who know can imagine the fate of the "missing" rider after the cell-phone talking, left-turner leaves the scene to protect their own insurance rates, guess it’s a way to get at that menstruating flow at Progressive. Way to go!

Care to insure my Sprint Car Now

[asasial1977]

i personally think these commercials are in very poor taste.

[GoFastXSR]

Great ads you guys are coming up with. From Motorcycle to Mayhem all good stuff.

I ride a 89 ZX10.

I'm glad people( motorcycle riders) find this video disturbing. I think it really drives the point home.

[GoFastXSR]

I'm glad people( motorcycle riders) find this video disturbing. I think it really drives the point home. I know what skin looks like after its slid down a road at 50mph.

[GoFastXSR]

Great ads you guys are coming up with. From Motorcycle to Mayhem all good stuff.

[DestructoPop]

Is this video actually filmed, or CG? Because the glass really is missing at a bus stop on a street that looks exactly like that one. I was waiting in the cold for a bus there last night.

[benjoandrichie]

MAKE THIS A REAL SONG!!!!!!!!!!

[theg1rln3xtd00r]

donorcycle....

[supershwa27]

Nice tune - too bad there isn't a whole song. Oddly sounds a little similar to "God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash!

[wesawthem]

@supershwa27 it does sounds like Johnny Cash' "God's Gonna Cut You Down" but also very much like Morcheeba's "Part of the Process"

[TheUnRepressed]

Whoa, this is an awesome commercial!

Hey Allstate, do you read every single comment in your videos?

[Allstate]

@TheUnRepressed Yes, we do read every comment.

[evolutionpr]

@Allstate

PS: are you Mayhem himself? :O

[twvtr]

Every time I see an Allstate ad showing a agent who is also a "biker" I've noticed they either wear minimal or no real riding gear. Maybe if Allstate insured the that rider's medical as well as the motorcycle they'd change that a bit.

[stupidshnyvolvowner]

I actually look forward to this ad. First time I saw it I was as my art table and looked up because of the music, which I love.

[Tgraach]

You can see all about how the music for this spot was made on SonicScoop for all the details.

[canammx1]

As a motorcyclist this is revolting.

[casinoanal]

@canammx1

thank u sir, thats what i thought!

[myYTwashackedbyanoob]

yeah this is by far the most awesome song for any commercial ever man!

gotta love the allstate commercials makes me want to use allstate when im older :D

SAY NO TO THE OVERUSED GEICO GECCO!

[nicksaya]

Antonio Graci and James Leibow wrote the spot. Antonio on Guitar. Nice One Guys!

[bugboys98]

ive had a bike crash alone on me.

most akward day ive ever had.

i jumped off of it landing on my feet unharmed.

sadly the building in front of me was xD

[Eversmen]

song definantly sounds like something Johnny Cash would make up. very good

[Slowriderr]

well done, bravo!

btw nice song

[Kracg999]

I tell you hwat Allstate, I sell propane and propane accessories, I'll put you outta business.

[biozyn1326]

[DudeWithaPage]

ghost riding... your doing it wrong

[juliabeals93]

breaking bad music!!!

[stevenchagar]

Love the bluesy music.I want the song. Commercial was great! I am a bicyclist. Makes one think twice, Which is what any one riding on two wheel machines should do. I pretend I am invisible. It works most of the time.

[SuperGoldwingrider]

Allstate you are right bikes never crash alone, but neither do cars. So your commercial is overdramatized and offends many riders that understand that just like driving a car, defensive, safe driving habits are what help avoid accidents. You won't get my insurance business because of this commercial and your attitude towards talking on a phone. Just like those that put make-up on in their car or you see that their mirrors are not adjusted to see properly, those are far more dangerous drivers

[HaydenMcGuire]

what kind of music is that?

[Macher0520]

God's Gonna Cut You Down" by Johnny Cash

[squierplayer]

@Macher0520 no, it's not 

[yogurtpimp]

@Macher0520 wrong

[someguyfrom818]

This commercial is distrubing. I am a motorcycle rider, and the site of this commercial make me very uncomfortable. In now way does it make me want to run out and buy insurance from Allstate. Infact, it makes me want to stay clear of such a company that would approve such a insensative commercial. I can't wait until it goes away.

[SHSfootballer79]

@someguyfrom818 yea dude, good call

[sarenka123]

@someguyfrom818 im a biker myself and totally agree with u it was kinda disturbing really

[mwarren500]

I am a rider and i hate this commercial.. poor taste.. sensational.. and the music tries to make it cool or something... take it off!

[Cepghef]

That's pretty scary considering I know people who ride these, including family. That said the commercial was done pretty good.

[OperaSally]

Wow that's kind of beautiful...

[DrTHENgr1mReap]

i love the song

[TheReapersSon]

Oh God, the horror of that second bike crashing into the mountain!

[Skaark244]

Who are the lucky people that got to ghost ride the bikes?

[jofierro]

whats the name of the song?....if you havent you should deff post the full versiion cause its amazing

[giratinax1]

whats the song!

[Allstate]

@giratinax1 We created the music specifically for this commercial. Glad you like it!

[yogurtpimp]

@Allstate

are you gonna make a longer version of the song

[Allstate]

@yogurtpimp We are looking into it. There will be a ring tone available on the Allstate Facebook page in the next several weeks.

[TheNewGuy789]

@Allstate Thats awesome also love the "Mayhem Series" haha

[SonounMancini]

@Allstate The song kind of reminds me of God's GOnna Cut you Down by Johnny Cash.

[fallout3fan1997]

@Allstate ya its pretty sick

[YouShutupSir]

@Allstate Sounds to me like you created it specifically to sound like Johnny cash's "god is gonna cut you down"

[BrownUPSman]

i thought the song might be ben harper. i also want a full version of this song. some sick slide guitar. right up my alley

[natesplaceonline]

Ahhhh! Second bike is a Concours!! I needed those lugage bags...I would have switched to Allstate for my insurance if you would have sold me those bags PRIOR to destroying them. AAarrrrg!!!!

[dumapies]

someone's face is gonna be on that big boulder

[mushaddiv]

Definitely sounds like Johnny Cash's "God's gonna cut you down." Except just an instrumental remake. That song is also on the current JEEP Grand Cherokee commercial too. I love this commercial....I just hope my bike never goes through this.

[THEpunisherGUN]

Personally, I like the irony in the first crash of (almost) all the street signs name's are "Hope".

[DanarchistLife]

@THEpunisherGUN Wow, that's cool! I didn't even see that till you mentioned it. Nice, touch Allstate. Very subtle but that's what's neat about it.

[sqweekyknee]

@THEpunisherGUN haha man i didnt notice that till you replied! probaly the best commercial ever.

[bluescwawb]

alot of my friends use allstate, and they need it!

[cspj12]

that was a cool glass effect. just like the matrix.

[xSkittlez140]

I like how everyone says the song reminds them at Johnny Cash song when I posted that comment a month ago, and it got delete of this site, with no credit involve......

[collene426]

Poor Bikes!!!!!!!

[assmanforever2009]

i want allstate now

[DanarchistLife]

Allstate should totally release the single for this. And make it a longer version. I love this song and judging from the comments I'm not the only one. Please Allstate, we'd really appreciate it. :)

[Gerberbaby922]

Am I the only one that thinks that this commercial doesn't make total sense? Sure its true that "bikes never crash alone", but some of these accidents looked like it could have been where the rider lost it in a turn, dumped the bike, and slid on the road for some yards as the bike flew of totally separate from the rider! If the rider was wearing the right gear and knew what to do he could walk away from some of those crashes.

[SaberTanker22]

Hey all state i love that shock wave the glass makes at the start slow motion makes everything cool.

[HYN0003]

goddamn this is beautiful

[kensade]

who is the artist of this song

[celticmagick]

I'll +1 vote for the song. Any word yet on the name/artist or if it will be available for download?

[dinopass123]

This is seriously a sick and disturbing commercial. Ad agency should be fired. If this scares anyone into buying motorcycle insurance from Allstate then you are a sucker. #1- This is the best anti-motorcycle as I've ever seen, #2 - Nobody would survive any of these accidents from insurance, helmets and protection would be only help, #3- If you ride a bike and don't already have insurance you are nuts, #4 - If I needed insurance the last place I'd go is Allstate from this fear based ad. Geico

[RAWR1imJESSi]

This isn't an actual song?.. I could swear it sounded like a Johnny Cash song.. I really like it..

[ginaface123]

@kakashi220 SO glad you said that! I was just wondering why the song sounded so familiar..

[kakashi220]

The song in this commercial really reminds me of "God's gonna cut you down" by Johnny Cash

[c32amgftw]

I like the music too!

Your new commercials are way better!

I love the teenage girl one:D

[av84aal]

Anyone know what model the 1st motorcycle was?

[VisualSOLUTIONSMedia]

Very cool spot.

Shot on the high speed Phantom?

Great National Steel Guitar music- a little more Delta meets the West than Cash, but yes, similar.

If you like the music, check out this National Steel player, he's incredible:

youtube.com/watch?v=X-wlYOlVu1­E

[farkistani]

Won't be getting my motorcycle insurance money with an advert like this 'cool country-ish song' or otherwise..

[ccryder38]

The song in this commercial sounds like the work of Ry Cooder blues guitarist

[comgeek24]

Bikers everywhere cringed at this commercial

[soELECTRIKK]

i have to agree with everyone, it very much does sound like johnny cash "god's gonna cut you down". i hope we can get a link to the full song soon! great song, great commercial!

[techboystuart92]

i'd really like to know the name of this song! it sounds like a cool country-ish song- and i love country music :) [but great commercial AllState :)

[sb7410]

I need this music immeditely!! This sounds like an amazing song!!! What song is ihis?!?! I love it!!

[xSkittlez140]

Idk man, that tone sounds just like

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down.

I know it not the song but it sounds like.

[xSkittlez140]

Idk man, that tone sounds just like

Johnny Cash - God's Gonna Cut You Down.

[justinhholt]

I currently ride a Honda CB919, the bike in the 3rd and 5th crash scenes. From my perspective, Allstate seems to be making this particular bike an extremely high-risk exposure. Luckily, I am insured with State Farm where my rate is only around $30/month for full coverage, and I am 25.

[jaramia20]

Tell whoever did the music for this to do an album !!!! It's great and there are not many people doing music like this . If they put it on a CD or iTunes , I would buy it !!!!
