Did they ever do a jewelry (could have been watches) commercial which featured them playing onstage?

[edit] Jewlery Commercial
bond did film a watch commercial a few years back.

One of bond's songs, Allegretto (first track of second album Shine) is a version of the first movement of Palladio by Karl Jenkins. This piece of music was famously used in the De Beers diamond commericials. Trivia buffs will note the first movement of Palladio was titled Allegretto which presumably is the derivation of the name of bond chose. --KitchenGod 04:54, 16 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Capital B?
The band in their press releases and promotional material refers to themselves as "bond" and not "Bond"...—Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.202.248.11 (talk • contribs)
I've tried to make the article name lower case with the {{lowercase}} template, but it doesn't work. Does anyone know why this is? Alcemáe T • C 23:49, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

- Interesting... a recent editor, since reverted, pointed us to WP:MOS-TM for Wikipedia guidelines on capitalizing usually-uncapitalized trademarks. After reading that, I'm ready to change my mind and say that we should capitalize bond throughout this article in order to conform to MOS. We should still note, of course, that the band typically leaves their name uncapitalized, though. Thoughts? —Stormraven (talk · contribs) 12:14, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
- The name should be capitalised at every occurrence, as per the link above. Correct English is used above stylistic preferences. Nouse4aname (talk) 14:40, 30 December 2007 (UTC)
- I can imagine what a storm would be raised if someone tried to capitalise a-ha "at every occurrence" on their page. So if uncapitalisation is permissible for a-ha, why is it not for bond? Garik 11 (talk) 10:24, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Name of article -- possible dispute
I have just found out (through record producer John Jones's Wiki article) that there once was an actual rock band out of Canada named Bond that was signed to a major record label in the 1970s. Being that that group predates this one and that it'd probably be more accurate to call the Bond discussed in this article a "string quartet", does anyone think that this Bond needs to be moved to an article called "Bond (string quartet)" and the "Bond (band)" article designation left to the Canadian Bond?
