The QUANTUM OF SOLACE Theme Song Has Issues (Besides The Title)...

Amy Winehouse by conniebrean1	May 6th, 2008 08:20:36 AM
is the British Britney Spears. It's only a matter of time until her mind takes a complete walk off the map or dies from something or other. Also I feel like Quantum of Solace could work as a song in the vein of Sounds of Silence: "The Quantum...of Solace!"
Who gives a fuck? by montimer	May 6th, 2008 08:22:31 AM
All Bond film theme tunes are awful anyway; in fact that was the very worst part of Casino Royale. Just use the fucking Bond theme, no one will mind, in fact I suspect very many people would be grateful

Give it to Lulu by BenBraddock	May 6th, 2008 08:23:04 AM
She can rhyme 'solace' with 'polis' (Scottish joke)
She's perfect to do the song coz she sings in an oldschool style by ingloriousjedi	May 6th, 2008 08:23:38 AM
that crackhead. And why didn't they let QT direct one of these and do it his way. Set in the 70's.

They are usually awful with a few notable exceptions.
A Quantum of Solace by Rolnikov	May 6th, 2008 08:23:51 AM
That's got to be a Pet Shop Boys track, probably off Behaviour.
This is a shame by Franklin T Marmoset	May 6th, 2008 08:25:03 AM
With her old-fashioned, big-voiced style, I thought Amy Winehouse was about as perfect a choice for a new Bond theme as possible, especially if she was back collaborating with Mark Ronson. Incidentally, I saw Ronson interviewd on the news about this the other day, and the guy did not look happy. He's probably been dreaming about an opportunity like this since he was a kid, and now it looks like it's not going to be.

Best themes are by tme2nsb	May 6th, 2008 08:26:22 AM
Live and Let Die, The World is Not Enough, and of course the best is A VIEW TO A KILL
Well... by zer05um	May 6th, 2008 08:26:29 AM
Eyes shrouded like armor, The man in his place, A measure of honor, A Quantum of Solace. That's asctually quite an easy one.
She really needs to get her shit together by Mr_Incredible	May 6th, 2008 08:28:45 AM
What a waste of talent. If she keeps on living like this, nobody is going to be surprised when she kicks the bucket before age 30.
Why the hell would they want this talentless junkie skank... by Kid Z	May 6th, 2008 08:31:27 AM
...to sing their theme song anyway? Are they hoping she'll O.D. and bring more publicity to the project?
I got A Quantum... by Kid Z	May 6th, 2008 08:35:13 AM
...of-a Solace... It ain't easy... But nothin' i-is... yeah...Woo-Hoo! Yeah, die hard Blur fan here. Demented and sad, it's true... but social.
She shouldn't be allowed to perform it by Sithdan	May 6th, 2008 08:35:28 AM
Why grant some drugged out junkie the honor of performing the next Bond soundtrack? She needs to be taught a lesson, and the entertainment industry needs to stop kissing her ass.
Not a fan of hers by Abominable Snowcone	May 6th, 2008 08:36:39 AM
In fact, I couldn't name a song by her. I've seen her picture though, and she was difficult to look at. Emaciated tattooed junky. They should give the responsibility of doing a Bond theme song to someone who cares, has respect for the series, and will do it up right.
i rember liking the GoldenEye theme... by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	May 6th, 2008 08:38:15 AM
but i haven't heard it in years. other than that, and the obvious Live and Let Die, i can't seem to remember a single one.
They should get that Duffy bird to sing it by John-Locke	May 6th, 2008 08:40:13 AM
She's got a good old school sounding voice
Biggest waist of talent . . . by Nice Marmot	May 6th, 2008 08:41:19 AM
. . . I can understand if people are put off by her public cries for attention w/ all the tabloid bullshit, but if you think she's not talented, you don't know shit about talent. Her style is so perfect for an old school sounding Bond song I was calling for her to do it a long time ago. What a mess.
You can't remember? by Abominable Snowcone	May 6th, 2008 08:41:49 AM
Don't remember "View to a Kill?" "Nobody Does it Better?" (from the Spy Who Loved Me) "Goldfinger?" Those were my faves, along with Cornell's. Tina Turner did an okay job with "Goldeneye," but the one Madonna did made me want to commit suicide (Die Another day, was it?)
I just hope to God... by snappy	May 6th, 2008 08:42:09 AM
...the replacement for Amy "Anorexic Crackhead" Winehouse isn't Joss "Talent Vacuum" Stone, or Robbie "Oxygen Thief" Williams. 'I even have to tie my own shoelace, when I'm in a Quantum of Solace'.
by HulkSmashNow	May 6th, 2008 08:43:22 AM
Well, I don't think "Casino Royale" was in the last film's title song, so not putting "Quantum of Solace" in this one wouldn't matter.
And yes, I was saying she . . . by Nice Marmot	May 6th, 2008 08:43:26 AM
. . . she has such a talented waist.
Amy Winohouse needs to be pushed out of a moving car by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 6th, 2008 08:43:29 AM
Anyone with that much talent who has the world at their feet and then pisses it all away deserves to hit the asphalt at 88 MPH.
Nice Marmot by Abominable Snowcone	May 6th, 2008 08:43:55 AM
I don't know much about her, so I can't DISAGREE that she's not suited for it. However, wouldn't you think there are others out there who can sing as well, and who keep themselves healthy, and might approach the job with some enthusiasm? I think that's what people are getting at here. If you were to ask me to recommend a chick to sing it, I'd pick Eliza Gilkyson, or even KD Lang. Yep I said it.
How anybody could think Winehouse is talented is beyond me by stinkyfingerz	May 6th, 2008 08:44:30 AM
Just hire a band like "Protest The Hero," and go all metal with the theme. Only then would I ever enjoy the beginning credits of any Bond movie.
They should get Estelle to replace her. . . by Nice Marmot	May 6th, 2008 08:45:17 AM
. . . anybody heard of her? British chick w/ a retro sound. First to sign on to John Legend's new label.
but will there be naked ladies? by Gatsbys West Egg Omlet	May 6th, 2008 08:48:04 AM
thats really all we care about for a Bond opening.
no sir i dont like her by LarryTheCableGuy	May 6th, 2008 08:49:03 AM

Abominable Snowcone by Nice Marmot	May 6th, 2008 08:49:25 AM
Yes, I am aware of other people out there that can sing. I already recommended someone. Was just saying it's a shame that Winehouse is flushing her talent and career.
Bond themes by Kurutteru Yatsu	May 6th, 2008 08:51:45 AM
GoldenEye: Not bad. Tomorrow Never Dies: Sheryl Crow? Really? The World Is Not Enough: Shirley Manson = automatically good. Die Another Day: Nothing special. I had no quarrel with it. Casino Royale: Surprisingly good. Having to manually add line breaks in 2008: WTF.

I know it's easy... by Cepper	May 6th, 2008 08:58:53 AM
...to watch Amy's trainwreck and say she's just a british Britney. But as others have suggested, she really is an amazing songwriter. I won't defend her live performances, but her talent lies in the studio. I wouldn't trade either one of her CD's for any other 5 CD's I've heard in the last 5 years. Oh, and don't judge her music based on the radio hit 'Rehab' either. I can see why they chose it as the most radio friendly single to release but it's really probably the worst song on the album.

The Quantum of Solace is anything but the quantum of solace Bond is so smut. The quantum of solace is his own disease the quantum of solace it is indeed.
Good by professor murder	May 6th, 2008 09:01:13 AM
Because Winehouse is an over-rated, drug/person abusing, alcoholic waste of space. She'll be one of those artists who dies young, only I won't care about this one.
Muse by hoisin	May 6th, 2008 09:02:28 AM
Muse should get the gig. They would write and awesome and fitting track. Download and listen to "Butterflies And Hurricanes" if you are wondering what the fuck I'm talking about.

"You Only Live Twice" is the true gold standard of Bond songs. by Mosquito March	May 6th, 2008 09:04:46 AM
That and any of the Shirley Bassey performances. And "We Have All The Time In The World" from OHMSS. But really, most of the Bond themes are great. I even like "Never Say Never Again". The only tunes I can do without are "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang", "From Russia With Love" and "The World Is Not Enough". The Cornell theme was okay, though he was an odd choice. And the best Bond theme that isn't a Bond theme is "Cities In Dust" by Siouxsie & The Banshees, followed closely by Bjork's "Play Dead" from that otherwise lousy Harvey Keitel movie YOUNG AMERICANS. I am thrilled that Winehouse is out for QOS. I can't fucking stand her voice. If I had to pick another female vocalist to do one, I'd get Natacha Atlas. And if I wanted something genuinely rock-and-roll to complement the new, grittier Bond, I'd try to get Black Rebel Motorcycle Club. They would guarantee you a badass song.
Quantum of Solace in the lyrics........... by DANNYGLOVERS_DICKBLOOD	May 6th, 2008 09:05:32 AM
why does that seem so hard to do? Seriously? Its only 5 syllables. The World Is Not Enough is 6 syllables, and Garbage pulled off saying that in the chorus just fine.
Nice Marmot by Cepper	May 6th, 2008 09:05:55 AM
Yes, I too like Estelle, but I'd rather see Alice Russel get a chance to make a name for herself in the states. She can sing like nobody's business. Check out her video 'Hurry On' on youtube, great stuff. Also she did a soul cover of Seven Nation Army with Nostalgia 77 that is so good it's sick.
My heart is ice cold...in your quantum of SOLACE... by knowthyself	May 6th, 2008 09:06:07 AM
Hey if they could squeeze in "the world is not enough", "die another day" and "tomorrow never dies" I think they'll manage quantum of fucking stupid title solace. Oh and Amy Whinehouse is a shitty singer. She probably threw up in the studio cause she's always fucked up on drugs that fucking dumb broad.
Kind of had that coming didn't they... by godzillasushi	May 6th, 2008 09:06:31 AM
I was one of the 'one' persons on the planet who actually like the Casino Royale song. They should have done something similar.
I wouldn't fuck Amy Winehouse with... by Hawaiian Organ Donor	May 6th, 2008 09:09:38 AM
Harry's dick. She's a cranked-out skank who looks like a stiff wind blew her into a bag of nickels hanging from an ugly tree.

Robbie Williams by Series7	May 6th, 2008 09:12:27 AM
I know a lot of people don't like him. I could personally care less about celbs personal lives and attitudes. He has the perfect style to make a good Bond theme. That or has anyone heard Duran Durans new CD? Its pretty good, I could see them doing another Bond theme, which would be really ironic that the one band to get two Bond themes is an 80's pop band. Too bad its being directed by overrated Marc Forster, who was probably hopeing to get Meathouse because she is popular and he wants his films to be popular rather then good. Speaking of Bond themes, saw Tom Jones in concert the other month and he didn't sing Thunderball.

Kurutteru Yatsu - Dude, I totally forgot "Die Another Day". by Mosquito March	May 6th, 2008 09:12:50 AM
That was so bland, I couldn't remember it. I should probably throw the Sheryl Crow tune in there as well (the K.D. Lang song from the same movie was surprisingly far better). As for the Garbage tune, I do love Shirley Manson - it just seemed kind like they could have come up with something a little punchier. And the video where she was a creepy-bald-robot-head didn't do the song any favors, either.
VIlle Valo by malachiconstant	May 6th, 2008 09:13:11 AM
I've heard that they mine multiple artists for this sort of thing incase one doesn't work out, ala Amy Crackhouse. Early on it was mentioned that the soundtrack producers attended an awards dinner honoring H.I.M.'s Ville Valo to tell him they enjoyed the song Wings of a BUtterfly and ask him to take a crack at the theme.
whinehouse isn't for sure doing the title song by Jett	May 6th, 2008 09:14:39 AM
bond producers are just taking song ideas, like 50 other musicians are submitting ideas...whine house just seems to be the only one out there in the media honestly i hope they go withsomeone else, preferably a woman but a real singer, not some hillary duff teenie bopper, fuck bring back shirley bassey
I opened my heart... by Abominable Snowcone	May 6th, 2008 09:15:08 AM

push Winehouse out the damn window by K\|LLDOZER	May 6th, 2008 09:16:07 AM
and get Geoff Barrow, Adrian Utley and Beth Gibbons on the phone ASAP. Portishead has been doing the modern spy noir style music for 12 years now and have merely been waiting for a music director from the Bond franchise to give a go-ahead. Why has no one figured this out yet?!? DO IT.
As long as David Arnold is involved... by Phimseto	May 6th, 2008 09:20:40 AM

A good candidate for the new Bond theme is the UK band Goldfrapp. Goldfrapp would nail the old school bond theme with the epic production skills. Seriously. Anyway Winehouse's career is OVER!

Mosquito March...are you sure? by BenBraddock	May 6th, 2008 09:29:13 AM
Loved the Banshees for years..loved the Bond themes for years too.. but I can't in a million of them see "Cities in Dust" as a 007 theme. Anyway the Banshees had their shot at Hollywood big-time with Batman Returns - and they blew it! Who the hell remembers "Face to Face" today?

I could be wrong, but isn't Goldfrapp (Alison Goldfrapp)one lady and not a band. In any case, Goldfrapp's songs get turned into THE BEST remixed songs on the planet.
Amy Winehouse = Quantum of Soulless... by anchorite	May 6th, 2008 09:37:19 AM
What a waste of space she is. I wish she would go on and do the inevitable and off herself now rather than later. Save us all the anticipation. What a rag.
Duffy by ricosuave21	May 6th, 2008 09:38:47 AM
The producer should take a chance and have Duffy ("Mercy") sing the theme.
BenBraddock by Mosquito March	May 6th, 2008 09:40:52 AM
Yes, I'm usually pretty certain of my opinions, and fervently believe that it could have been a Bond theme in the vein of "A View To A Kill". But, I would submit to you that others closer to the source have held the same opinion. Go watch the video for "Cities In Dust" - it basically IS a Bond credit sequence.
Get Tom Waits to sing it. Or bring Joe Strummer back from the de by anchorite	May 6th, 2008 09:40:56 AM

Winehouse et al by Cobbio	May 6th, 2008 10:00:31 AM
I don't know much about Amy Winehouse, so I won't comment on her not being able to record the theme song. But "Quantum of Solace" is seriously one of the most awkward titles of anything I've ever heard. Quantum (according to dictionary.com): a quantity or amount. Solace: something that gives comfort or relief. So the title means "a quantity of something that gives relief." Okay. But how about giving it a less overtly intellectual title like... oh, I don't know, "Specks of Happiness," or "Dots of Relief," or "Splotches of Consolation." Joking aside, those titles represent the same meaning yet imbue the film with a whole new feel. When you think about what "Quantum of Solace" really means, it's nothing more than an awkward gasp that the writers are hoping sounds cooler than it actually is. I'm looking forward to Daniel Craig revising his role, though. It'll probably be a badass film.

If CHUD or Hollywood Reporter or Variety report something, it's okay because those are other specialised sites or trade publications i'm unlikely to read. But running a story from the AP? I read this on the frakking BBC entertainment newsite yesterday, I sure as fuck don't want to be reading it on AICN a day later...

either of those 2 would suffice, Adele is much more talented singer than Winehouse and she don't require the smack, plus half of the Last Shadow Puppets album sounds like Bond themes strapped together with northern lyrics.

I can't make you hear something you don't hear, but it baffles me that you can't imagine "Cities In Dust" as a Bond song. It's almost tailor-made for it.

Sounds like a quantum of crack got in the way by CherryValance	May 6th, 2008 10:29:50 AM
I'm sure she has good reasons for being a crackhead but the Bond people don't. You don't hire someone who is clearly troubled to do your theme song and then expect it to go smoothly. But I do love the lyrics you guys have come up with. Especially 69DUDE. I could really hear Hoskins rapping that. lol
It's got nothing to do with trying to make Quantum of Solace rhy by photoboy	May 6th, 2008 10:30:25 AM
And everything to do with Winehouse being an ugly, talentless bint who's up in front of the judge for assault and who spends most of her time coked out of her head. You can't record a Bond theme while higher than a GoldenEye satellite.

Winehouse is a no-talent junkie... by anchorite	May 6th, 2008 10:48:17 AM
Her voice is somewhat reminiscent of Shirley Bassey, but Bassey is a much better singer. I know they wanted Winehouse because of her throwback sound, but she frankly isn't worth a dime. And all her Grammy wins are merely indicative of the times, not that she has any real talent. That they heaped a mountain of awards on her is a sad statement about just how talentless the current music scene truly is. And just in case Amy is reading this TB, I look forward to a world without you, Amy Winehouse. Do us all a favor and off yourself already. Thanks.

Um, no: "Goldfinger" is the "gold standard" for BOND songs. by Nosferatu Jones	May 6th, 2008 10:49:17 AM
"You Only Live Twice?" By Nancy Sinatra??? Not bloody likely. And hate of them all you want, but the last decent BOND song was from Duran Duran... over 20 years ago. "GoldenEye" by Tina Turner came close. And Madonna's piece-of-dreck "Die Another Day" will rightly go down as lamest, laziest, crappiest BOND song EVER. Too bad Chris Cornell's wasn't more memorable. CASINO ROYALE was a damned fine film, but a better song should have given you goosebumps.
The brainiacs who came up with the title... by tvspace	May 6th, 2008 10:49:31 AM

I will forever hear how it was such a tragedy and she was such a legendary talent with such promise. Ugh. Okay, Amy, instead of killing yourself, just do something that will make you fat and uglier than you are. The media hates fat, ugly people so they won't bother with you anymore. Thanks.

Whinehouse isn't anything special by Series7	May 6th, 2008 11:06:00 AM

Yeah her by Series7	May 6th, 2008 11:09:33 AM
I like her better then Whorehouse. Don't know why, I think they are both poor choices. But like I said just keep Mark Ronson, just please don't use a rapper. Hopefully the people in charge of Bond know better then to give in to the rap generation.
Winehouse? by moviemaniac-7	May 6th, 2008 11:10:40 AM
MWUHAHAHAHA! Come on, there is British dj who wants Muse to make the theme song and is lobbying for it. I can live with that. There is also the option of Roisin Murphy (excellent) or Portishead (also, excellent). In my opinion Amy Winehouse is a spoiled child crack whore who is untalented. Series7 is right, Ronson makes the music. For her, any Idols-reject can be placed to sing a bit.

Winehouse has never, ever been officially signed to record the title song to the movie. She and her producer keep bringing this shit up every so often just to put her in the spotlight. And there's NOTHING FUCKING WRONG with the title QUANTUM OF SOLACE. This is really getting old people. It's not that hard of a title to understand. The media always has something to bitch about in the world of James Bond.

Best Songs: You only live twice, Thunderball, Goldfinger by toadkillerdog	May 6th, 2008 11:42:05 AM
Those songs are each Iconic in their own way. Thunderball - Sung by Tom Jones - is the most powerful and descriptive on Bond himself. Goldfinger - Is arguably the most famous of the Bond themes, and the one that creates the Iconic Bond trademark. You only live twice, is simply the most beautiful of all of theme songs. Melodic, and infused with an oriental back-beat. Argue all day long about the order, but these are the top three, in my humble opinion.

No way should those words be in the song. I bet they never use the movie title in the song again. Why don't they ask Shirley Bassey back? She's still got a great voice and it would be a fantastic nod to Bond of old. Failing that DUFFY would be a fantastic choice. Here she is - http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v= zlcRRnbqS8Y (delete the fucking spaces, motherfucks) She's Welsh too like Shirley, which is good.

CANDIE PAYNE Should do it by DonLogan	May 6th, 2008 11:55:29 AM
And for those who don't know Candie PAyne check out: 'I wish i could have loved you more' which could be a bond tune itself. She's also worked with Ronson so if Amy Crackhouse is too fucked up to do it ,he should just change to Candie anyway. Other than that Portishead would be an excellent choice. The Best bond tunes didn't even have the song title in the chorus so no need too strain the brain thinking up rhymes for Quantum of Solace, they are: Nobody does it better, We have all the time in the world.

Man with the golden gun... by gringostar	May 6th, 2008 12:05:09 PM
as a kid I loved the man with the golden gun theme song sung by Lulu. The movie is also one of my favorites... the fact that Christopher Lee played the baddie who was a circus performer turned KGB agent, turned hired gun with a third nipple - genius! also Herve Villechaize as Nick Nack was awesome! The worst Bond theme song has to be Madonna's "Die another day", but let's be honest is that any surprise?!? Madge is tired and her music sucks.. quite frankly it always has and always will.
Portishead would be a great choice... by epitone	May 6th, 2008 12:05:10 PM

Hell, if anyone could make heads-or-tails out of "Quantum of Solace" as a song lyric, it's Page & Plant! I'm sold. Zeppelin all the way, baby!!! (Just no LOTR references this time, please...)

No one should _ever_ be surprised by k.d. lang doing a better job than Sheryl Crow when it comes to singing. Also, I watched Batman Returns about a month ago and 'Face to Face' is the only part of that film that still holds up today. I'll second the nods for Robbie, Goldfrapp and Portishead, and as far as working the title in, they didn't need to do it for Casino Royale, they don't need to do it here.
NO MEN. Men sing shit Bond tunes. by Sepulchrave	May 6th, 2008 12:21:02 PM
Winehouse was an imspired choice. fuckers who whine about her unhappy personal life forget that Billie Holliday was a hopeless junkie, Joplin was a drunk and Judy Garland scarfed pills by the fistful. Plus they don't like her 'not a hot blond porn-star' look. The last thing Bond needs is those old farts from Zeppelin back.
A View to a Kill by Wolfman Nards	May 6th, 2008 12:21:33 PM

Go back and listen to "Thunderball," by Tom Jones. That Welshie sings the ever-lovin' sh*t out of that song. And it's definitely Top 3 material for best BOND song EVER. And have you ever heard of some bloke named PAUL FRIGGIN' McCARTNEY??? "Live and Let Die," brother. And Louis Armstrong and Chris Cornell are GREAT singers in their own right (even if Louis sounds like he's gargling marbles and dirt during "All the Time in the World"). Some men have done just fine singing BOND tunes, thankyouverymuch. Whether Duran Duran or a-ha qualify as "men" is another story...
I'd suggest Radiohead... by Kid Z	May 6th, 2008 12:32:26 PM
...only because I think they're the only band who could do anything with the title "Quantum of Solace".

John Barry gave up on BOND a long time ago... by Nosferatu Jones	May 6th, 2008 12:37:10 PM
I think it'd be great if John Barry could pull out one more score for old time's sake, but David Arnold came up with a VERY Barry-esque score for CASINO ROYALE, so it's not imperative that they get John back. Also, Barry walked away from THE INCREDIBLES because Brad Bird essentially wanted a carbon-copy BOND soundtrack for that film, and Barry thought he was just repeating himself. The man is probably just bored to tears with all things BOND. Sorta sad, but not surprising at all.
I Hate Winehouse by Harlocks Balls	May 6th, 2008 12:42:45 PM
because she’s possibly the most overrated and talentless act in the long history of overrated British acts, from the bloody Beatles to Pete Cuntbags Doherty. She claims, and is not alone in this amongst many modern artists, to be ‘soul’, which is fine if you happen to have never listened to anything Motown, Stax et al ever produced and if enjoy painting by numbers but can’t stay inside the lines. The fact that she looks like ALF doesn’t change her lack of talent, it just doesn’t help matters.

As for Sepulchave, let me guess you feel that Dioblo Cody is the greatest female writer since Jane Austen? And we are all assholes for making fun of her for being ugly? Look I'll accept talent in any form, you just have to be talanted. And Whinehouse isn't, Mark Ronsom is though, and is much better looking then Amy. Also how dare you compare Whino to Billie Holliday/Joplin/Garland, are you fucking kidding me? Thats like me comparing Blake Lewis to Sammie Davis/Buddy Holly/Dean.

Just listen to "Pilots" on her first album - it sounds just like John Barry. Her partner used to compose soundtracks for films and it shows. Even her latest album has a couple of tracks with the same kind of string arrangements as early John Barry. If not her, then what about Propellerheads? They did one of the most kick-ass versions of the Bond theme ever.
Let's get rid of all these silly Bond cliches by IndustryKiller!	May 6th, 2008 01:32:49 PM
I think Daniel Craig proved that the franchise doesn't need them any longer and would be better off without them. get rid of the silly 10 minute intros, the bad songs, the cheesy one liners, the terrible actress "Bond girls" because I don't even think he needs a love interest and go even further with what they had happening in Casino Royale. Which was straight upa nd no nonsense and gave the franchise what only Sean Connery had previously been able to do, give it a set of balls.

..was ok. Kind of. It was 'Kite' and 'Room For The Life' from the same album (The Kick Inside) that really made me want to barf. Still, the girl redeemed herself on later albums. Surely you can't hate 'Hounds of Love'? Interesting fact - Kate was lined up to do the song for 'Moonraker', but bottled it at the last minute, so the Broccolis had to call Ms. Bassey to help them out again...

Who needs vocals? by DannytheRed	May 6th, 2008 01:43:49 PM
Where's the love for the John Berry theme from On Her Majesty's Secret Service? One of my 2 or 3 favorite Bond movie songs. The only Bond theme without vocals other than Dr. No. It was also used to good effect in conjunction with some of the trailers for The Incredibles, as well. Just saying that a good Bond theme doesn't have to use vocals. That being said, I too, would be thrilled if Beth Gibbons from Portishead would be used to sing a Bond movie theme.

I've seen CASINO ROYALE twice now and I still can't hum 2 or 3 bars of "You Know My Name." Cornell sings it well enough, but it's sonic wallpaper. The best BOND songs are instantly memorable and are stuck in your head for days on end. Cornell's song just wasn't taken to 11, knowwhatImean?

If you can't rremember all the Bond songs.. by CeejayNightwing	May 6th, 2008 03:14:17 PM
Then you have to be some level of retard! Music is half the movie and the Bond sound given to the series by John Barry is one of the main things people associate with Bond. Godfinger, You Only Live Twice, Thunderball, jesus Christ what the hell have you all been watching to not remember this stuff? Amy Winehouse has all the talent in the world and the right voice and singing style to follow in the footsteps of such classic Bond singers like Shirley Bassey, Nancy Sinatra and Tom Jones. Her problem is that to look at her all you'd see is s junkie pop singer, to hear her albums you'd think some legendary black soul singer from the 50's and 60's had dies and come back in her body! Her music is amazing but she is an out of control junkie and I reckon if she doesn't look like shaping up soon, they might as well go with someone like Joss Stone instead. And the idiot comparing Amy to Britney Spears simply hasn't got a clue. Britney is a proper manufactured pop singer, Amy has real soulful talent in her voice, she's just a weird looking junkie that's all.

Well... by TheRealMoriarty	May 6th, 2008 03:39:08 PM
... no matter how big a shitshow her personal life is, the first time I heard "You Know I'm No Good," I thought Winehouse was the perfect candidate for a Bond theme. Too bad, man. But now that they're looking again, I'd like to point out that Portishead just released their first new album in about a decade, and they'd be just spiffy doing a Bond theme as well...
Daniel Craig's Face Is Pants! by peter skellen	May 6th, 2008 03:41:57 PM
I love people who think Sean Connery took James Bond seriously or that his films were gritty thrillers. His Bonds were as camp as Christmas, packed with gadgets and humour and he wanders around in them looking constantly amused. It's what used to be known as a James Bond film. Jason Bourne, Paul Haggis, Barbara Broccoli and a bunch of prententious gits who don't even seem to like the series have ruined Bond.

Björk!!! by Kampbell-Kid	May 6th, 2008 05:10:59 PM
Bond's David Arnold has done work with Björk before and their song "Play Dead" for The Young Americans (Harvey Keitel, Viggo Mortensen) which he did with her vocals. Watch the video "Play Dead" and tell me she can't do a Bond song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v =fBaF7HRCQoc I'd love to hear her do a Bond song. Strange movie name needs a strange eclectic singer and she's already proven her range from strange to mainstream.

Mori and Avon by theyetiiswaiting	May 6th, 2008 05:16:28 PM
The producers aren't looking AGAIN because Amy Winehouse was never hired to do the Quantum of Solace theme in the first place. Winehouse and Mark Ronson were working on her next album and had also been collaborating on a Bond theme which they intended to submit to the producers for consideration. S'all been blown out of proportion by the UK press. I second the Björk and Portishead suggestions. Either would be awesome.
Tom Fuckin' Jones, Bitches! by Admiral Nelson	May 6th, 2008 05:18:55 PM
Series7 is dead-on right -- I've seen Tom Jones twice in concert, and the 60-something sonuvabitch has SOUL, and yes, can still sing the shit out of any song. His voice hasn't changed in 40 years. I love "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale, but man, if Jones had sung that, it would've kicked ass across multiple planes of existence. Finally, if you want to hear the best Bond Song That Never Was (sadly), listen to U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" from the Batman Forever song album. That song would've made a KILLER Bond opening tune.
Portishead! by I. Ratzkywatzky	May 6th, 2008 05:23:41 PM
I've always thought that PORTISHEAD would be the perfect group to write a James Bond theme. Barbara Broccoli, if you're reading this, make it happen.

Hunt down the studio outtakes of Tom Jones singing Thunderball. He didn't write the song and thought it made not one fucking bit of sense. The studio outtakes of him arguing with the producer over "What the Fuck is a Thunderball? 'Strikes like thunderball'? What the hell does that mean?" are great. Finally the producers just told him to not worry about it and belt out the lyrics.

Dont use these Singers by SH2011	May 6th, 2008 07:13:42 PM
What the Quantum of Solace film makers (and this goes for all Bond films to come) should look into is rather than getting some mediocre American singer get a plausible British band like The Arctic Monkeys or The Kooks to make them a song. If you listen to many of The Arctic Monkey's songs they already sound like they are in Casino Royale. It seems like they are explicitly trying to use the opening credits from 007 movies as marketing spots sorta like Super Bowl commercial spots instead of trying to make their movie better by getting talent.
Alice Cooper by welsh12uk	May 6th, 2008 07:49:04 PM
