Ode To a Ford: FULL

Best Use For A Ford Focus Ever!

Just like Yamaha XD

i don't know about that, i think Jeremy Clarkson could get pretty imaginative

What a very clever advertisement.

For the record, I know the folks that played on this ad and the contractor that hired everyone for the gig. There were, I believe, two studio sessions to pre-record the music using the 'car-instruments', then one day of live filming to create the commercial. So, yes, they're overdubbing, but it's 100% using these 'instruments'.

Thank you for that mate, whether or not it had been real which I believed it was anyway this is a very imaginative concept and one of the best uses of a ford focus I've ever seen!

Great, I just think that's really nice use of a car... but I also wonder how many cars did they used...

Yes, it's overdubbed. However, that doesn't mean that it wasn't played on those instruments. I've seen posts from several musicians who recorded the overdubs and they make it quite clear that they were using these instruments. The "London Tour" video is live, and is fraught with intonation problems. So what? You're surprised that a studio version sounds better than a live version? What rock have you been living under?

What you hear is produced by those instruments.

Does he do the new 2009 advert?
