Merrill Lynch Commercial

[Violet]

Has anyone else caught the Merrill Lynch commercial that uses The Chain? I saw it just now on the Weather Channel. I'm not sure if it's new or been around for a while but this is the first time I've seen it.
Very cool!!!

omg....so, i'm not nuts after all?!?! i was in my bedroom and i could faintly hear the tv in the kitchen...i suddenly hear what i think is "the chain"...the part at the tail end of john's solo and where Lindsey's guitar comes in...i stop
for a second...there was narration over the music but i couldn't make it out so i ran into the kitchen. right as i got to the tv it was over. i figured it might have been something else that sounded similar to "the chain." and i also figured i would see the commercial again. so, thanks for clearing this up for me!

I just did the same thing! I was in the kitchen making dinner and I heard the music and went into the tv room and there is was!

I made me think of how Stevie has classified John's bass part as "the monsters are coming" and how they matched this part of the song up with the bull crashing though the glass. Too funny

Over here in the UK, the BBC using The Bass riff/Guitar solo for the intro to Formula 1 was the greatest ever.

I was watching a British friend's dvd of some UK chat show (forget the host's name). The special guest was a car racer, so the house band played that segment of The Chain as a segue.. and then the host and guest chatted about the song a bit! Unexpected bonus.

Oh God, NO!!!!! I hate when bands that I love sell out and use their music in stupid commericals!
