Super Bowl picks/favorite SB commercials (come Monday)

[Justin Tonation]

Kind of amazing that celebrities used to eschew commericials (except for Japan). Totally different now.

3. Crown Royal’s Ad with Dave Grohl

This was so good, my fave
was planning on putting in the Canada thread

I did notice when they went through musicians...wasn't a whole lot of metal other than rush

[sweetcell]

wasn't a whole lot of metal other than rush

and is rush even metal?  what song of theirs would you consider metal?

like triumph, rush is firmly in the hard rock category, with a healthy side of prog.  maybe i'm putting things into too narrow silos, but IMO hard rock isn't the same as metal...

[Julian, Bespoke SEXPERT]

Rush is totally prog, not metal. I wouldn't even call them prog-metal.

That said, they're TERRIBLE.

For the record, wiki has Rush listed as Heavy Metal  ...while I agree on a technical level, they are not Heavy Metal
, they are a huge part of the longevity and breadth of that genre more that most spandex wearing longhairs

How could you let that relationship go?!?

How could you let that relationship go?!?

I don't want to talk about it. Still too raw.

[Starsky]

I hate to see you two this way but if life has taught me anything it’s to not interfere…

i love that he has a "Reduced Version (fewer graphics)" of the page.  load time time on the full version was creeping up into the double-digit milliseconds...

is the Integers Thread aware that the page boasts an integer-only "True Random Number Generator"??
