I must say I expected something more powerful and surprising. Brian talks about the computer-created images, well that would be the audience and the theatre I guess. Not very spectacular from what I've seen. I thought it would have more like Lord Of The Rings -type of animation in it.
It didn't surprise me and it has no stunning climax. I hope there's a longer version. Indeed with some more Brian on guitar and Roger in it, but the Pepsi site basically talks about the three girls in the ad. The excitement of the audience should've been built up more. Little is happening in my view. At least they should make special WWRY Pepsi bottles or cans (or how you call them) that would perhaps lead to bigger sales of this drink (that I personally don't like to drink). Well... perhaps there's more coming.
Oh, and I have no problem with Brian and Roger doing this for the money and to get more attention for the WWRY song or musical. Some people complain about them not being creative anymore. Well, they've been creative at the highest level for over 20 years. Imagine you would have created something or a name (Queen) in 20 years that can provide you a large income for the rest of your life. Wouldn't you feel great? They've invested during those years so what's wrong with "cashing it" in the way they want. It's up to them, not us.

actually, i liked it...
the first seconds were difficult to see, strange feelings...But if you let out the names and the pop stigma... sounds really good... At least pink did a great job....
i would like the complete uncut end with iglesias been eated by the lions...ho ho
Well this ad is a great way to bring up queen to the news again...
dare for more!

seems to me the ad is to build awareness for the musical in america, in much the same way Brian and Roger started doing shows like Parkinson over here. With the side effect that they seem to enjoy playing together again, which may start them doing some form of tour (though Brian is always putting it off so it's not that likely).

Using an old song shows the lack of originality to make an advert.

would it be completely wrong to say that i got very nauseous watching the commercial... and watching britney spears senselessly murder 'we will rock you' all while sounding like a dying mouse?

News about Pepsi's Superbowl plans. They have 5 ads lined up, but not the We Will Rock You one.

I like the new few guitar arrangements Brian did with this version.

I thought the commercial was stupid...the commercial actually achieved something I've never seen before...it's possible to screw up a song more ways than one...gee..how many remakes can we make of a song???...I think Brian and Roger are trying too hard to appeal to the younger crowd when they don't have to....*sigh*......I'm surprised Freddie won't rise from the ashes and be reincarnated to kick their asses....Now I see why John Deacon left....

And MTV... I don't watch that channel anymore. With the compilation of the 46664 they just cut out all the Queen numbers. A music channel who have no respect for worlds greatest rockband deserves no viewers.
i agree

I've so far watched the first half (school's LAN connection is SO friggin' slow).
It's OK, a bit weird. I find it comical that Brian and Roger are in there for a second or two. I just do
