THAT TIME GRIM REAPER’S STEVE GRIMMET APPEARED IN A GARMIN COMMERCIAL
Thursday, September 10th, 2009 at 10:30am by Vince NeilsteinYesterday’s post featuring Dokken in a Norton Anti-Virus commercial inspired longtime MS-faithful commenter Hibernum to post about another recent commercial done by a haggard ’80s rock band. Steve Grimmet of Grim Reaper fame did this bit with his solo band for Garmin Navigational Systems sometime back in 2007; at over two minutes, it’s practically a full-on music video made with a budget of about $3. And it’s made of pure win. I’m considering buying a Garmin GPS system even though I don’t have a car if it means that silver surfer dude will come around any time I’m lost… is there an iPhone version available yet?
Ride your Garmin, take on the world!

Vince you are correct,that is made up of 100% win.
New Shadows Fall song featuring Randy Blythe on Vokillls……………..http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LhZeg72PAZw
That song is actually pretty good and that video is actually pretty funny, despite looking like a bad Power Rangers episode. I wonder if the band actually got paid for this or whether they did it for the free publicity? Heh, the map-monster…
A “bad” Power Rangers episode? Isn’t that redundantly redundant?
Ultraman, douchebag.
who here wants to see Trey Azagthoth advertise a new Ford truck?
I think it’s gut-bustingly funny that all these forgettable hair bands are doing awesome commercials now.
(jaw agape)
I hope it was supposed to look like a bad Godzilla movie.
Wow! Sounds exactly like the Grim Reaper album I actually owned about 20 years ago. And getting fat reduces wrinkles, so Grimmet is actually less ugly than he used to be.
That was pretty fucking entertaining.
Peter Griffin: “This is like that time the guy from Grim Reaper was in that GPS commercial.”
This is one of the most awesome music videos ever made.
i’ll grab your garmin’!
wtf is a garmin’???
