I couldn't endure it: gave up around 1:40, when she started the discordant wailing again. Ugh.

I really like this song. Always have. Video is okay. Her singing while lying in a pool of blood is a pretty cool Bondian image.

You amaze me you really do. There is nothing Bondian about that rubbish 80's power rock song. I'm sorry pure crapI really like this song. Always have. Video is okay. Her singing while lying in a pool of blood is a pretty cool Bondian image.

No sorry. Bond is about cool about style, everything that is so utterly lacking from that song. So sorry, song is crap no apologies.Jesus f-ing Christ. Can we just have a thread where each poster apologizes to everybody for liking a Bond book, movie or song?

I'm afraid I have to agree with you on that one. That song lacks anything Bond. So yeah, it's a good rock song, still doesn't mean it's a good Bond-song.

Wasn't talking about the song, but the point still stands...

No not quite. Not even a good rock song.I'm afraid I have to agree with you on that one. That song lacks anything Bond. So yeah, it's a good rock song, still doesn't mean it's a good Bond-song.
No. It was a pretty stupid marketing ploy, dreamed up and judged by people who have no idea what makes a good Bond song, or even just a good song. I think the people who judged this most probably had had a taste bypass.For those who have read the book, does the song fit it in style at all? From what I've read about Devil May Care in these forums I very much doubt it.

Who makes a music video for a Novel anyway?
Well considering they've already gone ahead with a song for a novel, a music video for said song isn't that much farther off.
As to the video itself... eh, not horrific, but not something I'll remember much later on.

No, it couldn't be any further from the feel of the book. I don't know what the judges had to work with, but I have to imagine that at least one of the other entries was a lot closer in tune with DMC.
Objectively, this video is uberlame, and the song is unlistenable. I'm being as kind as possible in my assesment!

If memory serves right, the consensus amongst fans, even here at CBn at the time was that the SAL version was the best version as it wasn't a stereotypical song.
I didn't vote for SAL, I voted for one of the other songs.
So, you can't blame the judges, you'll have to blame the fans who voted for it to win.

As for the sound, I hear only a sliver of anything resembling a Bond theme. I'll give credit to them for at least trying though, it makes me wonder if this is the winner the others must be craptastic.

Yep. A shame that none of those finalists were really something, in my opinion.
