I honestly Don't want Opeth near a Bond film. Yes the singer can change his voice and what not, but still. Radiohead is too depressing (IMO) Tool, I'd rather it be A Perfect Circle or just Maynard James Keenan as a solo.

i like this song and thought it might be suitable to post in this thread. i only learned about it recently. i think its from 2009.*
i'm not suggesting this band do the skyfall theme song. i just thought that if any of you haven't heard it before, you may enjoy it

I think we need a dark theme, Opeth would be perfect. Tool would be too (if they would even do it lol)

[x007AceOfSpades]

Opeth is a death metal band, they would sound out of place in the film. Tool is more industrial, which is why i mentioned either APC or Maynard James Keenan. He does have a great voice.

You should listen to their softer songs, they would be perfect.

No metal, no rap, please. Bond is for ballads and mainstream rock.

i just found this song called "skyfall" by the band "neve" (1999-2001)

i don't know much about copyright laws but could that confirm, that the SF theme song will have a different name?

[marktmurphy]

She's probably too green to be on the producers' radar. Objectively, she's the sort of singer who would sing a Bond theme, but she hasn't garnered enough exposure and validation from the right quarters. Her career might well follow a trajectory that will make her a good prospect for a Bond theme, but right now she's unproven and very "internetty".

Didn't her album go number one in loads of countries? I think it'd look pretty good if they went for her.

She might not want to of course: it's debatable as to how cutting edge doing a Bond theme makes you look, I suppose.

Anyway (NSFW, mind):

Nope, they'd still be fine to use the title if they wanted to.

[BourneAgainBond]

i wonder if this time around the title will be used in the theme song or because its the 50th anniversary something like TSWLM

Adele left the Grammys tonight with a total haul. Match made in Bond heaven, at the moment - how can she not be the first choice?

I didn't see her performance but her throat troubles should be something to look out for. Also Grammy's do NOT automatically = Bond

[JackUnion]

Reading all these post...you people are so old and out of touch with the music scene! Adele is the only choice. Shirley Bassey's torch can finally be pasted properly.

PS. Lana Del Rey is a music industry product not an artist to be respected.

[Chief of SIS]

The music scene is out of touch with music.............

[JackUnion]

Hey don't peg me for a fan of new music. I think most music these days is garbage. But you have to look at the demographics. I work in the film industry (NY); I know the trends and what these "people" consider good music. If we want to get any shred of the old Bond back, musically Adele is our best choice. Remember as British as Bond is...the producers are still American.

in fact if anything, it only confirms that she wont be performing the SF theme song
just look at these lists of grammy winners in the past 50 years. if adele was chosen, she would be the first in the history of franchise to win a grammy and perform a bond theme song in the same year. then again there is a first for everything but i bet the producers are too cheap. anyone who has won a grammy and performed a bond theme song has only done so years after their win.
i can't help but think this isn't just another bond title theme song. i would think it would also be a tribute to the franchises 50th anniversary so i imagine the artist who performs it, will be someone of a certain caliber. (i'm sorry, that is so dumb. forgive me i tried)
what i m trying to say is that adele may have had great early success but that doesn't mean she'll still have it by the time of her next album

song of the year http://en.wikipedia....ong_of_the_Year

Your post is a logical fallacy called come* hoc ergo propter hoc - correlation does not imply causation. In other words, just because something has happened one way in the past, it will not always happen that way in the future.




* The "come" is spelt a slightly different way, but is blocked by the swear-filter.

maybe you should try reading the whole thing before commenting on it. i tried to make it more clear for you, this time around

Adele seems to be the safe choice and could make the theme song a real hit.

Then again, I would love McCartney to do it...

But he performed at the Grammys. Does this rule him out, BourneagainBond?

I think McCartney's safe to do another one. I'm not going to try and find out who all the performers were at the Grammy's for the last 50 years. Nice try though, lol.
As I mentioned before anyone who has won a Grammy and performed a bond theme song, has only done so years after their Grammy win.
John Lennon and Paul McCartney won a Grammy in 1967 for song of the year, "Michelle" by the Beatles.
The Beatles won album of the year, Sgt. Peppers Lonely Heart in 1968. 5 years before LALD.
Tine Turner won record of the year with, "What's Love Got to Do with It," in 1985. 10 years before GE.
Alicia Keys won song of the year, "Fallen," in 2002. 6 years before QOS.
and i think that is all of them.
I enjoy interacting with you SecretAgentFan because I like to tell myself i'm talking to the real Sean Connery haha loved your Life Achievement Award speech, btw.

[Captain Tightpants]

That's also a logical fallacy. On the one hand, you're saying "A equals B, so therefore, A will always equal B". But at the same time you're saying "A equals B, so therefore, A could also equal C". Somehow, you have managed to present you argument in the shape of two fallacies that contradict one another. At this rate, you will somehow make the blog implode under the weight of paradoxes some time before lunch.

How about you stop posting, and start thinking about what you're saying?

[BourneAgainBond]

why does it seem like you want to start another sort of argument with me? its not my fault you wear pants a size too small.

i acknowledged that it is not set in stone by saying, there is a first for everything. however statistically anyone who has won a grammy and performed a bond theme song, has only done so years later.

that does not contradict myself. that just covers my butt from any losers who jump at the first sign of a mistake or implication. which you clearly missed the first time and i'm guessing feel embarrassed about. which is why you seem like to me, to be on the attack.

perhaps you should stop posting, unless you have something worth contributing to the topic at hand.

and in response to your Godzilla epic fail comment that was premature, you seem to remind of this song .

[SecretAgentFan]

Now, now BaB...

[Vauxhall]

I would be amazed if the producers don't even make exploratory steps to ask Adele to do the theme. Similarly, I would be surprised if Adele turned down the opportunity if asked. So, for my money, I'd make her favourite.

[BourneAgainBond]

wow i missed some show last night. i ve read that ton jones sung "thunderball" and said that he'd like to see adele sing the next one.

Nope. That will not prove a problem. Songs have the same titles all the time. A clash of rights is not about that and SKY and FALL are hardly trademark phrases.

Nope again. Forget any lists about anything. You do realise that when music and film execs finally stamp who would be doing a Bond song for SKYFALL (everyone is assuming it will need a vocalist - it may not) I don't think they have the awards statistics of every major music award by their side when they make their decision.

And there ain't much cheap about the Bond producers.

I hope it is called Skyfall; about time we had a title in the song again.
