    New Bond theme revealed

    http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-en...me-880797.html

    Alicia Keys and Jack White. Not sure it'll work. Though nobody thought Chris Cornell could do such a good job last time. Same with Garbage who did a sterling effort for 'World is Not Enough'....

    Good looking chick mind, but I cant see it working. That said, rather that than Duffy, Adele, Leona Lewis and the likes.. I reckon Muse would have done it extremely well.

    Quantum of Solace theme tune clip. Reserving judgment until I hear the full version....

    Sample lyric:

    "Another blinger with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty."

    Cringe.

    Just Youtubed up:


    Not as good as Cornell's job, tbh. The music isn't out of place for the most part, but as a song it isn't that great, especially in performance - too much Brian Kennedy style aerobics. The "duet" element doesn't work at all IMO. There's been worse Bond tunes. It will grow on me but it doesn't have that "sing-a-long" thing that the better Bond tracks did.

    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    It's not bad. I like the instrumentals much more than the singing, but I've heard worse.

    You can listen to the full version here: http://www.ropeofsilicon.com/article...es_bond_theme/

    I really don't like it. I thought You Know My Name was great as others ave said, this would really have benefitted from Amy Winehouse. Lacks melody and the epic quality a Bond theme should have.

    Sounds ok but not anything special

    I read some where that Jack White is firious that the song had featured in a coca-cola comercial before it was released as a single

    I think it was just the instrumental version of the single. Why's Jack White so angry about it? Didnt he actually write a song for a Coke advert a while ago?
