Kick Slash outta G&R? I don’t think so. Forget Uber-pimping. Add Slash. Cool photography. Plug into a new VW. Rock out through the speakers. Upload your video on V-dubsrock and do Rock God battle with others. Pretty fucking cool. After seeing Spike Lee and De-rek Je-ter in a Ford spot earlier, it’s clear VW wins the celeb Battle of the Brands for the day. Only nit? Why isn’t the video up on YouTube yet? Slash outtakes even. People just expect to find it there nowadays, why not just post it from the get-go.UPDATE: Props to James-H for the YouTube heads-up. Find it here. Note to YouTube: do away with categories, really. It should just be two from now on: ‘high-school fights’, and ‘everything else’.
Anyway, upon further review, I love the spot more. John Cusak doing the VO and a VW logo on the 12th fret of the First Act axe. Props to the audio in the spot as they even picked up the sound of him hitting the strings on the close-up.
UPDATE UPDATE: Now there’s one out with Christopher Guest reprising his role as Nigel Tufnel from Spinal Tap. Bitches!
