what is the name and artist of the theme song for Wachovia securities?
The commerical I am talking about is the one which features the
motorcycle.

Hello marshall2121,

http://www.mullen.com/ is the advertising agency which developed the
commercial.

http://www.primalscreammusic.com/ is the organization that developed
the music for the commercial. (Interestingley, they are also the ones
that developed the theme music for the Survivor Series (click on the
World link at the bottom to listen to the track)). I am not sure if
the entire track is available, but you could contact them to find out
by emailing them at mailto:info@primalscreammusic.com

I also found another answer, but it appears unlikely given that
primalscreammusic develops music inhouse. There might be some aspects
of the theme song that are similar however: (I am not familiar with
the song and was unable to verify this).

"I believe the song is by Neil Young, It was the theme song for the
movie "Deadman" starring Johnny Depp. At least it sounds similar I
could be wrong though."

know if you require any additional clarifications. I will do my best
to further assist you.

I have some additional information for you emailed to me by Wachovia Securities:

We have received your e-mail message regarding the theme song for Wachovia
Securities.  In response to your question regarding the First
Union/Wachovia television advertisement, the following is some background
information:

All the music was produced by Primal Scream in Los Angeles.  The piece was
not given a title/name.

Composer and Synthesizer: Billy West
Los Angeles-based composer, Billy West is known for his musical
compositions for numerous television commercials, video games and corporate
videos. A multi-talented keyboard, guitar and bass player, West's music is
featured in numerous computer games, including Scorpion King, Bruce Lee
Quest for the Dragon, X-Men 3 and Pride FC. BMW North America, Malibu
Speedboats and Wachovia Securities have tapped West's talent for television
commercials and videos. West currently plays bass with the band, Miamou, in
Los Angeles.

Guitar: David Rice
Singer/Songwriter/Producer David Rice's twelve year career has taken him
from the bars of Houston, Texas to the legendary Real World Studios of
Bathe, England. Rice has released three albums of his own material.

His first two albums, Orange Number Eight and Released, were produced by
Justice Records, the wildly diverse Texas independent known for giving
artists like Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson a place to get back to
their musical roots.

He produced his third album, green electric, with Sony.  In 2001, Rice was
commissioned to write a Christmas song to be performed by Mandy Moore at
TNT's "Christmas in Washington". His composition "Christmas: For The
 Ones
you Leave Behind," was a triumph of spirit at the concert, which featured
in its audience the President and First Lady of the United States.

The classic pop appeal of Rice's songs continues to take his career to the
next level
with work on another future solo album.

Drums & Percussion: Ramy Antoun Percussionist Ramy Antoun built his career
performing with numerous bands throughout the world and performing in music
for television and commercials.

He has played with The Black Eyed Peas, Alana Miles, Pat Benatar and The
Turtles.  Recently, he performed with the band, Summercamp, on an episode
of "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and has had many appearances on MTV as a
drummer/percussionist.  He continues to be a highly sought-after session
player in the Los Angeles music scene.

I hope you will find this useful!

All the best,
