NFL & Female Fronted Bands

Jibrille · December 9th, 2007, 12:39 PM

So it seems someone in the NFL likes female fronted metal bands. Or at least someone at NBC and another person at CBS. Just now Nightwish's Amaranth was played in a clip that was put together on the pregame show for the Buffalo/Miami game on CBS. A few weeks ago it was Within Temptation's Final Destination during the Sunday night game.

Nightwish's Amaranth is being used on allot of sound bites for shows nowdays. So are some of their other songs, I guess the producers are now seeing what a fabulous composer Tuomas is.

I'm wondering if it's something to do with Roadrunner Records since they have both WT & NW but with so short of clips and no singing, it's unlikely people who have never heard the songs will go "Wow, those 5 seconds were awesome! I wonder what band that was."

Roadrunner must have a pretty good licensing operation....i.e., the connections you need in the film/video realm to say "Hey, we have the background music you need for your shows...and we're not too expensive."

I remember when the trailer for Hellboy came out and had two Dimmu Borgir songs excerpted within it....before the CD had even come out.

As long as they keep Hank Jr. doing the Monday Night theme. I don't really like Hank Jr. nor country music in general, but he somehow fits. I get pumped up when they do that song. They tried some different artists last year and it was terrible.

So... with the Fiesta Bowl on in the background while I look into hotel accommodations for our wedding party what do I hear but "What have you done now" and a few chords of the guitar part before they go to commercial break. So now we can add Fox & college football to the list.
Oddly enough, you'd think I watch football nonstop all these times I catch these songs. Which is completely not the case and makes me wonder how often these songs are being used or if I just happen to be watching the games using them.

I agree!

Not surprising at all to me. Nightwish is pop music after all.

Yeah, I see Nightwish is teaming up with Justin Timberlake on his next tour. Let's get real here. Nightwish incorporates some poppy elements into their music, but they are metal and not pop.
