Motörhead have their name featured in current commercials for Hyundai’s Veloster. The ad implies that the driver likes all kinds of music (from Motörhead to Willow Smith), and the Veloster doesn’t “judge.”

It’s not the first time the band’s name have been featured in a major U.S. commercial, as A T & T used Motörhead’s “Ace Of Spades”, in the premise that a fan repeatedly tries to call his friend, who has no signal for his cellphone, to let him know that he has managed to get Motörhead tickets for the show later that night.
