I saw the one with Slash last night. At first I thought I was seeing things...
I saw the VW ad with Slash also. Are we getting so old that all the music I loved growing up is in commercials? Nissan even uses Iron Man in their new Titan commercial!
I have seen both of the ads (Slash and Nigel). Funny, but a bit sad, too.
