Arcade Fire - NFL- Super Bowl

i didnt expect to hear the song in the super bowl... i liked it.

Everything about Fox screams "god, we suck!"

Wow, that just ruined the song for me. The way they tied it with the "emotionally striking" clips and effects, so cheesy. I really hope that Arcade Fire got fucked over there by NFL, instead of them consciously selling the song to those multi-billionaire assholes.

How do you know? I got mad at a band for their songs being played at Abercrombie and Fitch. When I talked to the band (Ash) they told me it's all the record label and they have nothing to do with it.

It depends on what their contract for the US is. Because they are from Canada they might not have signed as great of contract in the US.

They also had to get payed. If they didn't their record company would sue them.

The band is not signed to a major label. They are signed to an independent label, Merge Records. The band has control over virtually all of their affairs. They were not paid and they did not give permission for the clip to be used.

Apparently they are considering to sue fox.

dude, they didnt even have permission to use the song.

200% agreed... arcade fire has nothing to do with mindless football. barf.

My wife and I freaked out when we heard Arcade Fire being played during the Super Bowl.
