Felix_dup1 Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 Now wait a minute - are the people complaining about the Navarro spread the same ones who think the Sennheiser ad (with the half-naked woman) is really cool? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Awesome babe lying on a bed with an Orange combo placed strategically on the floor next to the bed.

Awesome babe lying on a bed with an Orange combo placed strategically on the floor next to the bed[/quote] Wow! You weren't kidding. I'm thinking about shopping for an Orange amp now, and I don't even play guitar! Funny how some people get nervous when blantant sex appeal is used in Music magazines. I admit, I thought twice about the Navarro spread, and even offered the issue to a female co-worker here at work who's a big Chris Cornell fan and seems to like that whole dark-haired-with-a-goatee thing, thinking she might find it a nice addition to her bulletin board. But I've seen tons of letters to the editor regarding the Sennheiser and EMTEC ads, too. In fact, I also saw a recent ad for the upcoming DJ Expo, with an inset picture of a naked girl holding a strategically placed piece of vinyl. So do these kinds of images have no place in music gear magazines? Or are we all just not used to it? We're obviously all very comfortable drooling over a nice rack (of gear, that is), is the whole "sex sells" approach just too blatant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alphajerk Posted August 16, 2001 Share Posted August 16, 2001 well my vote is in for MORE blatent sex ads in gear mags. they do it in car mags, guitar mags USED to be filled with them. has society become so sexually repressed now? now wonder women are generally complaining they arent having orgasms on whatever womens talk shows. alphajerk FATcompilation "if god is truly just, i tremble for the fate of my country" -thomas jefferson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott from MA Posted August 17, 2001 Share Posted August 17, 2001 [quote]Originally posted by felix: [b] is the whole "sex sells" approach just too blatant?[/b][/quote] I don't think it's too blatant, actually I think it's LOST its impact. I'm not "shocked" when I see a half-naked model in an ad. I'm also not "drawn in" like a drooling dog. In fact, I've seen so many that I hardly even notice the ads anymore. Like Craig said... the point of a photo like that is to get your attention. It's got to [b]STAND OUT[/b] from the crowd. I think the "sex sells" mentality has lost that ability. I saw that Orange Amp ad in a magazine and just flipped right by it. I saw the woman, but until someone brought it up in the guitar forum I had no idea what the ad was selling! How effective is that?! Scott (just another cantankerous bastard) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anel Paz Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 I'm a guitar player ,and for many years I was studied and playing guitar , then I start to get more and more involved in studio stuff , with the time I own my first home studio , and now (some years later) I own a beautifull big project studio ,.Now looking back, I realize that ,as a guitar player, a big part of my brain (say 90 or 95 percent )didn't work . Navarro is just a rock guitar player , he can go and seatdown in such a console because his ego works as an hi pass in 20k ,filtering reality. just my rock star vision .

Anel Paz Posted August 19, 2001 Share Posted August 19, 2001 There is a bunch of "profession" where anybody can goes and say "look mom , I'm a ......(insert subject ) ,knowing nothing about a thing For example , if I pretend to participate in the next olympic games surely I will be kick off , or if I practice a brain surgery in a hospital ,I maybe will pass the rest of my life in a jail . But instead , I can go tomorrow and say "Mom , look , I am an actor ,( or a singer , or a prophet ,or a politician by the way ) and nobody gonna tell me that I'm a fake .

Phait Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 I don't think sexual ads belong in many places really but.. I don't really care. I love Dave's solo work - I had "one hot minute" when he was with RHCP but I don't remember much... As far as the instructional guitar video - he didn't really wanna do it, he just wanted to mock those kind of videos (read about this in interviews...) And as far as the chorus in Rexall "there is love between your thighs" - whats the matter here? Maybe this person he wrote about was cold and only cared about sex. I wish people would try to interpret lyrics in more than one way. But anyway, Dave is an inspiration for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
