Looks like something they would use to advertise the game on TV, since it has both gameplay and (professionally filmed) footage of people playing.

Wow, if I didn't know anything about the game, it would definitely turn me off from it. It would just look like another GH Rip-off, and the Trailer is so obviously just photoshopped into the TV. I hope it isnt the real commercial...

Wow that was awful, sorry to say. I hope that's not the commercial because it was all sorts of cheesy. I would've expected something more flashy, rokk-ier and overall better. It was like watching that Guitar Hero rip off commercial where it supposedly teaches you how to play real guitar. Bad flashback. But I have a feeling this won't be the one they show on TV.

Maybe the GH people put the video out there to give those not in the know douche chills, and buy GH3 instead of RB. I couldn't even get through the whole thing... All I kept thinking was, "Is that how I'M going to look playing"??

Dude she was totally an 80s rocker. Totally.

That vid was pretty awful. I was really hoping they'd just snip and paste the Highway Star trailer. And they were using the old smoke notes.

The two people standing behind the counter bobbing along with the music are classic.

Yeah it looks like a possible TV spot. I'm just so tired of Suffragate City now. I'll probably hardly ever play that song now becuase I'm so tired of hearing it.

It looks like a TV spot alright...if it was 1984. Not sure how that'll play in 2007...oh, no wait, I am sure...general ridicule as evidenced here.

Was kinda funny at least...but yah I do not know how that's supposed to convince someone to buy the game, assuming that's the goal...

I hope for a commercial they don't use something like this and just do something similar to the highway star trailer.

pure, pure evil!!

It makes Rock Band look horrible. I guarantee this is not the commercial to be used, and if it is, a whole lot of marketing people are about to get the axe!!

Why would they have a comercial that only shows one song? I really don't think that's it. If it was only one song you'd think they go with Don't Fear the Reaper or Won't Get Fooled Again.

God knows, Suffragette City seems to be "the" song to play for trailers.
