Chris Cornell to record theme for new James Bond film

sonicl · 07.27.2006, 01:34 PM

Oh dear...

Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell is to write and record the theme tune to the new James Bond film, Casino Royale. The theme for the 21st Bond film, in which Daniel Craig will debut as 007, is titled You Know My Name.

A film spokeswoman said Cornell's music was "both soulful and tough" and "the perfect complement" to the film.

US rocker Cornell was previously the singer with Seattle rock group Soundgarden. He joins a long list of famous names who have recorded songs for Bond films, including Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner and Nancy Sinatra. Many of the songs from the early Bond movies have become classics, such as Bassey's Goldfinger and Sinatra's You Only Live Twice, but recent efforts like Tina Turner's Goldeneye and Sheryl Crow's Tomorrow Never Dies have proved less enduringly popular.

Oh dear indeed.

Was John Zorn's version of the theme ever used in one of the movies?

Well done to Chris Cornell. It's like a big fat risk-free massive pension that you don't have to pay into. Jammy sod.

Hip Priest · 07.28.2006, 08:53 AM

Fans of whoever's performing the title song.

Politicians with masturbatory gun feishes who were never asked to be spies.

And men in white t-shirts who hang around timber merchants talking about joists and lintels.

As folks were absolutely disgusted that Aphex Twin was in 8mm, and Godspeed in 28 Days.

Mainstream films are shit because they use stock performers and ignore the independents.

An indie film becomes shit if it uses a mainstream artist.

If a mainstream film uses an indie/experimental artist, its supposed quality doesn't improve - that artist merely becomes a sell-out.

"That guy only digs Godspeed because he heard it in a Danny Boyle film."

"Mainstream culture sucks because nobody exposes these ignorant masses to the obscure."

Anyone going to make up their manipulated, ignorant minds?

Does anyone else think it's hilarious that former SPK mainstay Graeme Revell makes mega-blockbuster soundtracks now?

I view this as the ultimate awesome subversion, from the most extreme and unpalatable straight to Middle America's wallets!

Actually, I thought it was the Bond films that were selling out, not Cornell.
