ya know having been a part of the ugly advertising world, any one is lucky to come out alive, but they do pay the big bucks!!! Jimmy has two kids to put through college and when it come down to they come before anything, so if the guy can spend a couple of hours in a recoring studio knocking out a jingle that will give his kids a nice little nest egg not to mention the ad will die out before Christmas more than likely, more power to him! O and sorry about the Canadian-Scottland mix up I hope I didnt upset any scotts out there. I must have got the big country and the great white north confused my bad

fenoglio8 Wrote:ok, first off, that's not Jimmy Gnecco. Jimmy Gnecco sings in a band called Ours. Singing that song is none other than James Gnecco.

I think that's incorrect. If this was the case, consider this example-
We explain "Someone to Die For" by Jimmy Gnecco featuring Brian May because it was written by Chris Cornell and not Jimmy. Essentially, Ours is Jimmy Gnecco, but when Jimmy doesn't write a song, it's refered to as just "Jimmy Gnecco" and not part of the Ours project. the only consistent Ours band members over the years have been Jimmy and Race.

If i'm wrong here, call me out on it, but I think it's been stated before that Ours is Jimmy's project with original song materials. Any other contributions he has made, as well as collaborative works that dont involve primairly his own songs, gets credited as "Jimmy Gnecco" in a vocalist sense.

Nothing new, he's already sold out. (to some extent)


I'm ready to defend this statement, if I must. But it isn't a big deal to me.

Hey,all i can say is that if you really need money, you will do anything you can to make it.

I hope that you all will not point the finger at him for too long, and that in the future he wont complain about "not selling out" cuz to a degree.....yeah, he has.
I still care about him, and i understand his reasons.
Still shocks me.

not to be mean to anyone who is shocked--but get real--he makes a living off of his voice---so he needs to do whatever it takes---you need money in this world and thats a fact unavoidable!
he can still protect the integrity of his art and STILL make commercials---
i just hope the industry doesnt suck him dry and leave when all the juice is gone....they are ruthless bastards!

i do wish him the best....if i had a beautiful voice like his---i would want to use it as much as possible---

Look my beloved OURS Children we all know Jimmy's really awesome and nice but he's no pussy. If he felt compromised in any way he just wouldn't have done it. He must have wanted to. I don't have a problem with it. I got excited to hear his singing and I kind of like to hear him sing other stuff sometimes it's like telling him try on a blue shirt today just to let me see what you look like in it...it's interesting or let me put purple eyeshadow on you just for shits and giggles.... y'know?

I kind of like that he did it.

I work at the CBS affiliate station here, and I was walking through the control room earlier during The Price Is Right and heard Jimmy singing. I kind of stopped and smiled. It was pleasant.

Haha. Yeah, I saw it. They keep playing it now.

When I first saw it, I turned my head because I was curious who the singer was because it sounded fimiliar and was like, "Oh, it's Jimmy!" !!!!!

And I really, really don't think that just because he's singing in a commercial means he's sold out.

Not for nothing, but...
What is selling out then?
Singing someone else's song and selling it to a department store chain to be used in a national commercial campaign isn't "selling out??!"

Guess this explains why he started wearing white shirts. It fits the Kohl's image.
In all seriousness though, release an album. Or better yet, let us know if or when it is coming out.

Oh, and doing anything just for money would make him a huge hypocrite. I doubt that's the reason.

Not very smart to post no news about anything for months though.
It is like they are trying to "KILL THE BAND"   really.

Actually, by definition, that's precisely what it means. When you are paid so that your likeness pushes a product not created by you, then you've sold out.

It's just up to each person to be bothered by it or not. In this case, I'm not. I still like and will still support the band.

I don't think it's him. I saw that commercial tonight before I even read this and had no lightbulb go off in my head. I wish we could start a betting pool.

I'm completely amazed that some people on this message board can't tell that it's his voice on the commercial. If you'd really care to bet, I'd put ANY amount of money on it right now. Do you have a PayPal account?? Let's do this! You'll lose, though, I promise you.

I think it's him.. it's kinda silly for people to say he needs the money or anything like that, or to just think it's not him. *cough* places bid *cough*

I heard/saw this commercial a couple days ago and it woke me up out of my sleep... and nothing ever wakes me up! :devil:

Yeah I caught that one last night as well, and I got to thinking, hum... maybe they could play some of the new cd in the back ground while "Meredith stares into doactor MicDreamy's eyes" on GA or while "Mae is running through the streets of NY naked again" on 6D whadya think!, any how I dont think Jimmy strapped for cash so bad that he's reaching new lows, I think he saw an opt. an took it cause he's a smart biz man. after all he's learning from one of the best, whether ya like Rick Rubin or not the dude know biz. I think I'm a pretty good artist but do you know how many times I've place the word SALE in "starburst" to trashing car ads all for the sake of advertising

I saw the ad again yesterday and listened intently. I still don't think it's him. There are parts that sound like his voice, but overall I still don't think so. Will someone get in touch with management so we can put this baby to bed?
c.bun

ps- I like the PayPal idea. I'm into placing bets these days...

I think the fact that management has not said anything tells us all that it is him.
If it was not, there would be the "quick to defend Jimmy " routine going on.
I think it is him.
I think that he does not give a damn what we think about it, and why should he?
It is his bizz, and it is our bizz what we think about it.
The tv spot wont sell more cd's though.  but hey, there is no cd yet, so what am i thinking!?!
Could be he did the add to finance the tour that is not going on?
Who knows, but i do know that he has every right to do what he wants
I just dont want to hear him saying he is against the whole concept of commercialism, and the ideas of mass marketing.
He is one of them , as are most of us.
I am going for my 5 buck a cup starbucks commercialism roast cafe now.
Maybe he will do a bit for them.
