Chevrolet American Revolution Commercial from 2005

I was blessed with the opportunity to play guitar on this remix of Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf for the Chevrolet American Revolution Campaign. Chevy proceeded to use this music in multiple TV and radio ads for several years. Good times.

From Wikipedia: An American Revolution is a former advertising campaign used by American car manufacturer Chevrolet. First introduced on New Year's Eve 2003 in the United States to promote its "ten new cars and trucks in twenty months", released since January 2004, but the lineup of advertised cars was later expanded. Also including the Korean made Chevrolet Aveo. The campaign was made by advertising firm Campbell-Ewald from Warren, Michigan, near General Motors' headquarters in Detroit.
An American Revolution was released on the TV program Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve on the TV channel ABC. The TV commercials have also been shown on high-audience sports television programs, e.g. the American football program The NFL on CBS.
One of the first TV commercials in the campaign directed by Michael Bay featured the song "Magic Carpet Ride" by Steppenwolf. The advertisement was titled "An American Revolution, Car Carrier" and featured six not-yet-introduced new cars and trucks boarding a car carrier as it traverses the United States-notably an Aveo descending the Twin Peaks of San Francisco and making an airborne leap reminiscent of Steve McQueen's Ford Mustang in the movie Bullitt - before boarding the car carrier. In July 2009, GM announced the "An American Revolution" campaigns would end in the fall of 2009 and would be replaced by new campaigns.

By far, the best Chevrolet commercial I can think of, even in 2020. Come on Chevy, make commercials like this again, please.

[@Gmny701]

I agree

[@j.gonzalez9939]

Huh, please make cars that live up to the hype and have toyota quality.

[@nicksmith-rz2dl]

Naaa the like a rock commercial where the best.

[@Skittleman2341]

@@nicksmith-rz2dl That's your opinion, as I stated mine.

[@alexsaffamerica]

Apparently, this commercial was directed by Michael Bay, which means that this is where his GM fetish came from.

[@svpracer98]

That makes a lot of sense thinking about it

[@colten53]

I thought the camera shots were very reminiscent of Transformers

[@Eddy-iv3qv]

one of my all time favorite commercials!

[@hakeemsd70m]

Seriously, the best Chevrolet commercial I have ever seen, as of 2021. Straight nostalgia.

[@digitalmagicAR]

This excellent spot showed that GM could still make cool commercials when they want to :)

[@bkbjunior2000]

Corvette • Aveo • Colorado • Malibu Maxx • Equinox • SSR

I realized it was Michael Bay once my headache felt it was going to explode!

[@cjjones3220]

This commercial used to be showed at the end of the test track at Epcot. They even had the Chevy SSR there.

[@MichaelEdwardsGuitarist]

Interesting. Never knew that. Thanks for sharing.

[@ambilindumbi]

goosebumps....

[@SOU6900]

It's easy to see that's a Freightliner, even without the emblem on the grill.

[@CONTENDER791]

SSR commercials were the best Chvey ever did.

[@daneanders7051]

Do you know where I can find a full audio version of your guys' cover??

[@MichaelEdwardsGuitarist]

Hi. This is the "full version." There was never a remix of the full original song. It was cut up and used as needed for this spot. There were also shorter cut-down versions for different radio and tv spots.

[@johnsonfishin999]

What song was that in that commercial towards the end I’ve been trying to look it up to see what it is for a long time

[@MichaelEdwardsGuitarist]

The song is Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf.

Me too bro since 2005 I was so happy when I found out in 2011 I think lol smh

None of those cars are on the road anymore all in a junk yard by now

[@2fast4all]

C6's are still hot to this day.

[@hakeemsd70m]

I still see every one of these cars to this day, even in 2021. Colorado, Equinox, Malibu Maxx, C6 Corvette, and even the occasional SSR.

[@BrandonHanson]

Apparently being stuck in your parents' basement and trolling isn't proving anything. As they're quite a few on the road. Unless you're too broke to afford another vehicle after yours went to the junkyard as well.

[@hinkleprincess]

@@hakeemsd70m Same even though I see SSRs from time to time

[@KlNGkhaled]

Cringe 💯

[@toddbob55]

Stay Far away from GM products they are junk. If you want a good Truck stick with the #1 F150 or second Toyota Tundra

[@CONTENDER791]

No real American buys a Toyota

[@BrandonHanson]

So were my Ford and Dodge vehicles I have owned next to Chevrolets and Didges I have owned. In conclusion, American products are as reliable as Ameticans' average marriage.
