Didn't see this posted anywhere.. There is a new GNR commercial that was on tv last night, featuring the first 30 seconds of Paradise City.? It has a bunch of black sheep breaking away from different sheep herds, then they gather in a town where there just happens to be a sigh that says "Welcome Harley riders" or something like that.? It was a very cool commercial, and was shown at least 3 times during the Nascar race on NBC.? Since that was the most watched tv program last night in the US, that is good pub.? I just wish it hadn't featured an "old" song, but anything is better then nothing.?

This past weekend, I saw for the first time a Harley Davidson commercial with a bunch of black sheep going to the annual Harley convention.
The odd thing is that the background music to the commercial is Paradise City. As I sat there and watched it, I wondered how in the world they were able to use it. Surely Axl didn't sell them the rights to use that music for the commercial, did he??? I didn't think he did that sort of stuff.
Has anyone else seen it? Does anyone else know if Axl is now selling off the GNR tunes for an additional pretty penny, to allow them to use the tunes in commercials? It really surprised me.

This has been mentioned a couple times before, but that's ok. As far as the rights, Axl sold the rights to the back catalog to Sanctuary last year, so I believe they'd be the ones responsible for allowing the song to be used in commercials. Raven |

No references to any other possible versions than the one with Paradise City.

I just hope this does not mean gnr songs are going to be used on tons of Ads. But Sact has to make their money back for the 15m that CD cost.

I love the fact that a GNR song is getting play on national and I guess international tv.
