  • 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.

      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.

      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.
