Metallica Helps ‘Guitar Hero’ Commercials Not To Suck

The Movie God   |  

GHMYou’ve all probably seen them a couple hundred times. Guitar Hero commercials directed by Brett Ratner, featuring sports stars and supermodels in a parody of Tom Cruise’s famous Risky Business scene. And if you’re like myself, you can’t stand them and immediately change the channel before anyone slides their goofy asses onto the screen.

In preparation for the brand new Guitar Hero: Metallica edition, though, two more commercials were filmed using the same basic premise, but these commercials are actually pretty entertaining.

The first commercial will most likely only be funny to sports fans and college basketball fans. Instead of the mega-star athletes and models, the commercial features legendary (and older) college basketball coaches: Mike Krzyzewski, Roy Williams, Rick Pitino, and Bob Knight. After these gentleman do their best Risky Business slide is when Metallica shows up and it gets pretty funny — especially if you’re familiar with Bob Knight and his infamous temper.

The second commercial is all about Metallica and it really needs no description — you just have to watch it.

Guitar hero: Metallica will feature 28 of the band’s songs as well as 21 songs from other bands hand-picked by Metallica such as Alice in Chains, Motörhead, System of a Down, Slayer, Foo Fighters, Judas Priest, Bob Seger, and Lynyrd Skynyrd

JUST in case you missed the first two commercials, here they are. Be warned, side effects may include headache, nausea, fainting, and sometimes death. If you’ve seen them, just move on to the good stuff.

Now that you’ve recovered from that, here are the two featuring Metallica.

    I like the 2nd one better! Blowing up a house is always fun…

    Well, I know that GH branding is done by that ass Bret Ratner but that second commercial was pretty good so it proves my point… someone else came up with it cause up until now Ratner has been sucking at branding just as he sucks at movie making.

    I was so blind sided by this commerical! I thought the first one was great! The one with the old guys was ok, but the other kicked ass!
