Here’s a fact: This commercial for the Monster Ballads compilation has been on television for over 10 years — that’s admirable. Other commercials don’t have the balls t0 run the same commercial for 10 years — Monster Ballads must be experiencing success with this spot — if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it, and if it bringing in the cash, run with the cash dogs.
The American people recognize that this commercial has been running for over 10 years; seemingly this compilation garners public support with each year; here is a candid instance in form of a youtube comment:
I can’t believe they’re still showing this commercial. It is at least 10 years old. —jhwink
Actually they’re still showing this commercial on TV. I saw it a few nights ago. I’d forgot all about it. —jhwink
Morever, this compilation CD/cassette tape set has generated serious debate, as apparent in these youtube comments:

first of all why the fuck do you think europe’s only known for 1 song? last time I checked that’s a one-hit wonder second of all no shit the whitesnake singer is deeply influenced by blues he’s practically copying the way Robert Plant, of Led Zeppelin, sings and lastly Helloween isn’t one of the greatest bands of the 80′s and you know it you’re just too much of a stubborn jack ass to realize it
bonfirejovi responds:
first of all helloween is one of the greatest bands of the 80s; they had an amazing singer, guitarists, bassist, drummer during the keeper era. they had were had some progressive epics and invented power metal. kiske is the voice of the 80s.
second of all you’re extremely uneducated in glam; whitesnake have a very long history starting as a blues band from the 70s and the singer used to be in deep purple. europe has plenty of amazing songs and they didnt turn glam until the final countdown
actually im an athiest so i couldnt give a shit if they sing about satanist rituals. glam started before motley with van halen and most of my favourite glam bands are internation such def leppard, whitesnake, europe etc… there are a lot of shit hair bands but a lot of good ones. and out of all the trash bands only 2 are worth anything. i dont like slayer because it is un-melodic ear rape, at least iron maiden and helloween while they were heavy had melody as well.
slayer1587 fires back:
what do the subjects they sing about scare you and that’s why you don’t like em? and the only reason there were so many fucking hair bands was cause right after Motley Crue put out there first album record companys just went out and signed every band on the sunset strip that was a hair band that’s why there are so many shitty hair bands
bonfirejovi:
i did and they still have only have 2 good bands, regardless all the bands you mentioned still dont beat hair metals dozens of good bands. oh and slayer are a terrible band with an amazing drummer, while i acknowledge his skills the song-writing is god awful.
slayer1587:
really only two good bands? Listen to Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Exodus, Overkill, and Vio Lence then tell me tharash only has two good bands
bonfirejovi:
your kidding right? motley was mediocre and hair metal had dozens of great bands while thrash only had 2 (metallica and metal church). slayer is on of the most unmusical pieces of garbage ever… just listen to their version of born to be wild, it was embarrassing.
Only in American will a 3 disc monster compilation compel two radically different thinkers to revisit a compact disc commercial and stumble into a seriously heated debate.
Every bad boy has his soft side; every rose has its thorn.
Rating: 30 Seconds of Heaven isn’t too far away.
