U2 pitches for Apple It was a beautiful day for Apple Computer on Tuesday, as the company kicked off a new advertising campaign featuring rock superstars U2.
The company began airing a television ad featuring the Irish rock quartet during Major League Baseball playoff games and other programs. U2's new single, "Vertigo," is available for download exclusively through Apple's iTunes service.
The ad is something of a switch for the Irish quartet, one of a handful of prominent rock acts who refuse on principle to allow their music to be used in commercials.
Band members are long-standing Apple fans, however. The group used PowerBooks to run much of the staging of its breakthrough "Zoo TV" tour and later became enthusiastic supporters of iTunes as the best solution to promote legal downloads of music. The Irish band earlier this year vowed to rush-release its upcoming album, "How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb," through iTunes if copies of a stolen advance disc began appearing on peer-to-peer networks.

I'm not a huge U2 fan, but darn it... I LOVE Vertigo. If only I could purchase it from iTMS.... the most I can do for now is play the extended AD repeatedly :blush:Originally posted by PatrickGaerlan
