who footage from old wplj commercial?

[Mad Scientist Jr]

i remember seeing an old wplj ad long ago (early 80s?) that i think
showed townsend smashing his guitar - the film was all filtered and
black&white/animated looking - can anyone confirm this and also what
was the music? i don't remember it being any song from a who album i
had heard at the time.

Is WPLJ a radio station?

There was an ad around that time that used TKAA footage and someone
gave it that animated look...it was one of those generic spots local
radio stations around the country used. They were in several markets.
All the local stations did was slap their logo on it and give it a
localized a voiceover. It was used by DC 101 here.

I remember the ad, but I don't remember the source or the music. I was
very young and inattentive at that time!

The ad from WPLJ simply used footage from The Kids Are Alright. I
remember it well.

Thanks for answering that... I still wonder what the music was from

I don't believe that it was Who music that was used in the ad. In fact,
it was scenes of many different musicians and bands with a non-descript
heavy metal-screeching guitar thing playing over it.

The wplj one I remember wasn't really "shred" guitar, it was a bitchen
bluesy hard rock riff (which i was wishing was gonna be some rare live
unreleased Who tune). But we're talking 20+ years since seeing this ad
plus my bad memory, so what probably sounded good to my kids ears then
would very possibly sound screechy today!

Well, your description of the music used is just as valid as mine. You
liked it. I didn't. No big deal there. it definitely wasn't The Who
though.

Yeah, that's right. Just the visuals though, not the music.
