i'm holding out for a rocker like yes or Rush to do it
That's a joke right, some over the hill passed it rockers as to suggestion to Lewis,Winehouse is infintely more talented than Lewis and Bassey put together.
DAF was the only track I didn't think the instrumental versions was better, she's overrated very much like some think Conery is god.
Bassey would be nothing without Barry except some cabaret singer from Wales, if it's not Winehouse EON should get some balls and hire Portishead or Massive Attack, 3rd is an awesome achievement and proves the Bristol massive reunion is on with MA & Tricky albums on the horizon.
Depeche or Gahan on his own though he has a questionable druggy past so maybe he shouldn't get the job for that reason.(this is sarcasm) I see this going to a safe option I really hope we can get something worthy and not some pop trash like Lewis, bland and unexciting ala Crowe or Garbage.
If Arnold to pull the sma e trick as Play Dead again then Bjork is an option but the idea of giving it to Amy lites like Duffy, nice girl but obviously a record company looking for their own Winehouse.
Winehouse maybe a scag head but at least she;'s got edge and some originality, Duffy and that Gabriella Climie are just chart muzak.
(in a stuffy british accent) I never joke about choice in bond musicans number 72
I intally wanted to scream rant and rave (i'm 21 and a huge yes fan to me they are still fresh ionnovative and amazing and hardly "over the hill" rush i would of agreed with u had they not released Snakes and Arrows amazing album)
Insterad i will point out a few things
1. I tried to get into winehouse with no success what ever you all see in her clearly i'm missing because she sounds to me bland and a little annoying. Though i wanna point out i tried to get into her i listened to You know i'm no good, rehab, and back to black a few times trying to get into it. sorry she does nothing for me.
2. Winehouse and many of the people metioned i feel represents the "old bond" look had brosnan done a 5th film Winehouse would of been perfect for it. I feel this is almost a new franchise.... sort of bond is a bit harder edged and honestly the music should be too You know my name was a breath fresh air after madonna's .... (i said i'd be nice but i'm sure u can imagine what words id' use to dexcribe it)
Look i'll give a listen to the other artists you've metioned because hey I'm 21 and a guitarist so speaking strictly from a music point of view i gotta be at least willing to listen to new styles to be a better musican. I just feel Quantum of Solace should have another hard edged theme
Which over the hill what has cornell been doing since he left sound garden and pre you know my name. I mean Really what has Audioslave (belive that is/was cornells 2nd band) done. but again I'll be nice
Next time though I have been respectfull to the winehouse fan base I'd apreciate it if you al were respect full to my musical tastes.
