Versus TV commercial

[dahgutone]

Did Versus pull their YouTube page?

[amoo2007]

who plays the background music?

[wheels88]

@amoo2007 its the string quartet tribute to metallica. Nothing else matters.

[amoo2007]

@wheels88 haha thank you, but I did a little research and it's a cello metal group called apocalyptica and the song's name is "one" ;)

[eymoose]

hunting is on here cause hunting is on the versus channel. but yeah im an environmental science major and hunting is necessary since we've killed all the natural predators cause they eat our domesticated pets and get too close to out multi million dollar track homes. hunting is extremely regulated and penalties include major fines or jail time.

[tiokeko]

i hunt, you eat what i hunt, who is better than who?? think about it

[csminvestsments]

Here is the definition of sport copied and pasted exactly as is for you ignorant imbecilic fools who like run of with diarrhea of the mouth without thinking first or giving any thought to what you are saying...an athletic activity requiring skill or physical prowess and often of a competitive nature, as racing, baseball, tennis, golf, bowling, wrestling, boxing, hunting, fishing, etc. Don't bother commenting I wont read it anyway, just wanted to educate you losers.

[BaLLeRAl05]

How do I find the versus youtube channel?

[34Lyter]

Not trying to start a war or anything, but we all come from different parts of the world. We live with different lifestyles. I admit, i love hunting, its a great past time i think. Obviously i know others don't enjoy hunting, thats they're opinion. Where i'm from, without hunting, disease & malnutrition would be huge. A certain # of permits are issued accordingly 2 keep animal populations in check. Theres stuff i don't think i like either, but if i've never done them, I can't really hate can I?

[Zttbm]

@34Lyter I don't think people are hating as hunting on the whole... since without it the human race would of died out a long time ago, just it's place in a commercial about sport and triumphing over the odds.

[34Lyter]

@Zttbm I'll admit, you do have a point, and everyone has their own opinion. I'm glad you commented on my post, props to ya bud

[webaddictedrick]

Nobody here talks about fencing, and the mind work it needs..

Anyway, hunting is considered a sport (even if I don't think it should be), and it does require some athletic skill, at least to go around in the woods, move as quietly as possible and all. Of course, then you use a 200 mm scope to shoot a harmless animal, but that's another thing. But what about FISHING?? "Yeah, I play sports. I sit around all day throwing worms in the water and waiting for a primitive animal to eat it up".

[ChocolateTundra]

I like how they used Apocalyptica's version of Metallica's One

[builtstrong2lastlong]

3 people paint fucking pictures of grassy meadows, 258 people make those fucking meadows ball diamonds

[robotguy]

yeah baby



[infinitecarnage]

hunting is not a sport. it's about being a spineless douchebag. sport is something when both sides have equal chance of winning the event. not when you're hiding cowardly with your rifle, waiting for that clueless innocent creature to show up. fuck all the hunters and everyone who sees them as "athletes".

[plutosaplant84]

brb boxing a bear

[dawgfan24348]

LOL at all the people who think hunting is evil

[BADLC108]

Check out my 30 seconds to mars tribute. I was inspired by this video, I thought I could make something that would relate. Thanks

[gingeefootballpro]

could you imagine listening to this on a ipod or mp3 while you in the middle of a soccer or a football game you and get the ball. few id'e feel terrible for the other team!

[Myhike3]

Where did the other gr8 commercial go to? Passion trumps all...Game on!

[rickbentley]

Hunting is a "sport" for cowards.

Hunting a deer with a rifle is like playing chess for money with a crazy homeless person -- your "opponent" has no chance of winning and you just look like an ass for cashing in when you win.

[Phishean]

@rickbentley um..i understand what your trying to say....however there are quite a few crazy homless chess masters and grand masters...bobby fisher as you should recall was one of them...and ive seen lots of them at the park playing after they get out of the dumpster...and ive played many....you would have no chance of beating them...and he would easily take your money and make you look like an ass.

[rickbentley]

@Phishean Yeah, for sure there are plenty of homeless people smarter than me. My point was to create a character that was both crazy (incapable of winning) and who couldn't afford to lose. I suppose not all homeless people are poor, either. I don't think you can be crazy and be a chess master, however. You may have some mental issues, but you are still very high functioning and therefore not "crazy".

Regardless, hunters risk nothing with an opponent who will lose everything. Cowards.

[XDSoccer]

you see that ppl?? they can just calmly end an argument and apologize. I NEVER see that on youtube.. you two rock :)

[triathleteprincess]

@eymoose. I'm far from ghandi ;)

[triathleteprincess]

@eymoose. Im sorry for my original comment. You have a right to your opinion and I feel kinda bad for what I said. I still think fighting is stupid though:)

[eymoose]

@triathleteprincess your right... im sorry if i was jerkish. your like a girl ghandi or somthing. way to be the mature one in this whole deal

[triathleteprincess]

Lance is history, but he is also present. I hope he is remembered for more than all the accusations by the naysayers. He is my hero. And Alberto, does NOT deserve to be in this comercial, in my opinion. And Jensi was not an excuse that was the suckiest crah ever.

[heyitsfp]

Stop asking for song, it's One by Apocalyptica.

[kthxbye897]

hunting not a sport because half the competitors dont even know their playing

[apoc711]

song? I know it's vitamin string quartet but which cover is this?

[SuperBoomstick]

@apoc711 metallica

[gbeans420]

they show hunting cause Vs has hunting shows dip shits

[Amitai45]

Is it just me or does the music sound like Metallica's 'One'?

[hakushomelon0]

@Amitai45 it's the acoustic version of their song, so yes, it DOES sound like "One" because it IS "One"

[albertabadboy]

sweet video

[bountzee]

aw+ tho 1:34 - 1:35 lol'd

[eymoose]

@xsilox no ive been hunting. Its a bunch of fat grey haired white dudes with mustaches covered in deer urine. In my opinion they shoulda cut all sports and just put mma and bull rididng. maybe surfing too.

[michaelmorar1]

@eymoose A "real sport" is the level of professionalism of the participants. As written and spoken language reflects our professionalism and success in life. MMA could be viewed as a joke if the participants did not represent the sport well. No I am not a hunter and prefer MMA. You left out cycling's de France as a "real sport". It is one of the toughest endurance events in the world. I assume you have never ridden a bike 150 miles/day for 3 weeks? English is a good start.Wax on Wax off kid.

[triathleteprincess]

@michaelmorar1 Dude I agree on cycling. Those guys are tough as nails and whoever scofs at them is just stupid.

[triathleteprincess]

@eymoose MMA and Bull fighting are the dumbest sports. And michaelmorar1 is right what about CYCLING?

[eymoose]

@triathleteprincess cycling?!?!?! are you serious? you dont even need both testicles to be good at that. Plus ive been riding a bike since i was three. oh but can you do it for like a 100 miles?!?! NO cause i own a CAR dipshit. you put two tvs together showing the ufc and tour de fags and see how many people watch the second one

[triathleteprincess]

@eymoose You don't need balls to fight. Have you ever tried riding 100 miles? Look up triathlon it is swim bike run, then look up ironman 2.5b mile swim, 112 mile bike, 26.2 mile run. And I'm the dipshit. Cyclists are the celebrities in Eroupe noboding friggin ares about fighting there. And in case the princess didn't help you I'm a girl. A girl who prefers to watch a real sport then people get paid to get pounded or pound someone else. Just measure and get the whole who is better over with geez

[eymoose]

@triathleteprincess well i guess you havent watched mma ever. all of them have balls. looked up iron man like you said. guess picking your foot up and puting it back down can be very difficult. and that whole cyclists are celebrities in europe is probably true. i mean what else do they have there besides soccer? but i work in a sports bar and we litterally cant have cycling on for 2 mins before someone complains about how gay it is.

[triathleteprincess]

@eymoose You're right I haven't watched mma, waste of my time. I guess you dont need balls to ride cause women do it to unlike ufc and mma. And more people than you think enjoy cycling. And Ironman, hard as hell, trust me i know people who have done it many times. I see your points but we are different. I am a triathlete and cyclist so enjoy watching those sports. I don't know what you are but that is what you enjoy. Maybe we should just agree to disagree.

[xsilox]

clearly you guys never been hunting.Its you versus nature and elements

[triathleteprincess]

@xsilox Your such a guy. I, a girl, love cycling.

[Cayal92]

Loving the version of One in this video

[pendragon259]

@Cayal92 Its by a cellist cover band. Apocalyptica, they do a lot of metallica covers and a lot of there own stuff with just 4 cellos and sometimes a drum set.

[2222554]

'You vs. history'... The clock is ticking...

[SilenNex2114]

Awsome, kinda mad they showed Jens Voigt when he said excuses, Jens is one of the nicest guys in cycling and that was an awful crash

[triathleteprincess]

@SilenNex2114 I totally agree that was no excuse it was sucky luck

[ShinobiBoiX]

I hear One by Metallica.

[xdudedudex]

Thumbs up for Metallica!

[trapper7804]

Great video. For those that say hunting is not a competitive sport obviously have never participated. You are ignorant to the mental and physical preparation that's involved to attain success.

I could go on for hours in a debate on this topic. You'd lose everytime.

Good job VS! It's all good.

[triathleteprincess]

@trapper7804 What about the mental and physical preperation for cycling, Huh? Boys.

[triathleteprincess]

@trapper7804 Or better yet as my mom said why don't you go to the other side of your gun and see if you like hunting

[Iaintrussian]

FUCK. YEAH.

[macgregorrex]

Wow. I've already done two workouts today and this makes me want to go do another one.

[FiRezfps]

I like this, is very existentialist.

[capersushi]

powerful! 

[screaming71datsun510]

Wether you think you can or you think you can't your right.....which one are you?

[KalinPopov]

can anyone tell me what he sais in the beggining? i cant understand him there

[screaming71datsun510]

@KalinPopov wether you play at a high level or you just play. Your desire to win will determine what level you'll play...Wether you think you can or you think you can't you're right in both thoughts....which one are you?

[macuys]

EPIC!!

[afrodizzyact]

inspiring! Yes. the where showing the best of everything. Should have had the F1 cars. Not the crappy indy cars!

[CamCoEntertainment]

who's the speaker?

[triathleteprincess]

@CamCoEntertainment Dude I wanna know too.

[rj269269]

it starts getting at 1:10

[mattn5160]

Yeah and the car racing would be okay if they were driving those Flinstone's cars propelled by foot. Chechmar, I'm guessing you're a vegan!

[czechmar]

If they were hunting with spears and rocks, then hunting would be ok in this commercial.

[Adwiz]

@czechmar Agree with you there, the hunting seems totally out of place in this video. As others noticed, the fishing scenes also take away from the epic quality. Would have been okay if the fish were Great Whites, and as you say, if the hunting involved spears and lions. I can only assume that some committee of corporate suits were involved in those editing decisions.

[areyu93]

@Adwiz I'm betting that Versus has some sort of involvement with hunting and fishing. It's just so out of place in this video like you said. It should have all just been MMA, cycling, car racing etc. Fishing and hunting aren't really 'competitive' sports

[lamonstersoup]

@Adwiz Hunting is a sport buddy, like yea it may not of been the best choice for this video, but this video is about sports and it's a sport.

[xAxiom720x]

@lamonstersoup

no its not.

[EmoEnsemblept2]

@czechmar

hunting takes alot of practice and patience ,sure youre not lifting heavy weights but could a weight lifter do it right away?no it takes practice

[triathleteprincess]

@EmoEnsemblept2 Its a hobby, you can be fat and still kill a deer, then when you eat it you'll just get fatter

[EmoEnsemblept2]

@triathleteprincess

deer meat is very lean ,not fatty like you

[triathleteprincess]

@EmoEnsemblept2 I'm lean and muscular thankyou. You might not be fat and I'm sorry if you dont like my opinion but that is what i think and that is what you think

[dawgfan24348]

@czechmar

Your an idiot

[Phishean]

God this is an awesome video!!!!

[TheClarkkent7]

who is that speaking?

[awon345]

this is so epic

[prdannyboy]

Why did Soccer did not appear in this add!?!?!?!?! :(

[existentialmonarchs]

@prdannyboy It's because Versus doesn't show soccer. Only the sports that are shown by Versus appear in this add. Soccer's not one of them.

[Phishean]

@existentialmonarchs nope no soccer..but therre is bass fishing!!!

[existentialmonarchs]

@Phishean very true, though I find that it distracts a little from the epicness of the video.

[Phishean]

@existentialmonarchs agreed..i was being a bit sarchastic..remove the fishing and hunting...replace with soccer and horse racing...

[kanyeezy24]

is the speech delivered in the video from a video or movie, or is it original content from versus.

[TheVGTalk]

hunting would be a sport if the deer got weapons, oh wait, rednecks don't like equality, my bad.

[maful1232]

@TheVGTalk hunting helps keep the surplus population of deer and other animals down you idiot.

[TheVGTalk]

@maful1232 that happens naturally(ever heard of a carrying capacity?), hunting is an activity that some people I guess find enjoyable, and it probably does take some skill, but in my eyes and opinion I will never consider it anything close to a sport.

[maful1232]

@TheVGTalk I do agree that it shouldn't be considered a sport though

[triathleteprincess]

@TheVGTalk Agreed

[BerkusDebtSolutions]

Yep, I wish I could download this.

[ohen]

John Doman, Rawls from The Wire ... awesome

[ANTimation0913]

I want this on my iPod when i go running!!!!

[BONGHIT1]

acoustic metallica !

[ibanez641]

[crimson485]

arrgghhhh....... lets do this shit! im so pumped. These words have never been more true.

[pfarwell21]

Jens voigt eating it at 1:28. OUCH!

[patriotswinwars]

@pfarwell21 That was sick, I remember watching it live last year

[triathleteprincess]

@patriotswinwars Me too pour guy

[patriotswinwars]

epic

[AuralSex12]

The music is Metallica actually it's The Angry String Orchestra's arrangement of One

[Murasaki1959]

thanks for the help in finding the music

[Murasaki1959]

One - Apocalyptica

[mastersamwise]

@AuralSex12 wrong.. the artist is Apocalyptica

[Murasaki1959]

@Murasaki1959

Yes, it is Apocalyptica. The music: can be found on IApocalyptica's "Inquisition Symphony." You can also search YouTube for: One - Apocalyptica.

[Murasaki1959]

I think the song is by Explosions in the Sky. Haven't found the specific song yet, but they provided the musical backdrop for the previous Versus commercial. "The Strong Survive."

[Justin4Primetime]

@Murasaki1959 dude the song is One by metallica.

[existentialmonarchs]

@Justin4Primetime actually it's One by Apocalyptica. Apocalyptica is a band of 4 cellos. They often do covers of Metallica songs.

[caitlinesummers]

thanks so much for posting!!!

[tracewell]

Love this

[lacquerheadTX]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned that the background music is Metallica's One from the And Justice for All.... album. I only caught the last 15 or 20 seconds of it last night as I flipped over to the Tour highlights but sure as sh** I heard it clear as day. Frickin' FULL of awesome!

Well done Versus!

[Cothranism]

I love you.

[jelway2007]

Thank you so much for posting. I love this!

[dahgutone]

Someone needs to sends this video to Lance.

He crashed out saying he's out of the Tour as a contender....

This video gets you pumped up.

[dahgutone]

Thanks mann!

[Shuttle89]

Where did you get this from, by the way? I noticed the OLN marker on the top left-hand corner. Is Versus still OLN somewhere? Clearly it's recorded because Paul Sherwin starts talking at the end, but where did you get it?

[Adwiz]

@Shuttle89 In Canada, the Tour de France is shown on OLN as a Versus feed. You can't actually view Versus programming in Canada except when networks like OLN carry select Versus content.

[Shuttle89]

@Adwiz Thanks!

[kthxbye897]

@Shuttle89

we still have oln in canada

[TheGibsonclan]

Thanks for the posting the FULL COMMERCIAL! Versus clipped theirs! Cheers.
