  • WANK

  • I keep listening to this track hoping it would get better but it still sounds like a random mess of sounds with no real melody. IMO the Connery and Moore films consistently had great opening songs. The last good song since that era was "You know my name".

  • GAY! Bring Shirley Bassey back -.-

  • Love Craig as Bond, I do, each Bond is unique and different but really the title sequences for his films....really not up to par with the genre. -Shrugs- Just my opinion, but I mean Golden Eye, Goldfinger those were great opening credits.

    I do hope Skyfall is a bit more Bond like.

  • "Bang..Bang..Bang..Bang" Does that sound like a 007 theme song to you??? what a disgrace to Bond.

  • Another ringer with the slick trigger finger for Her Majesty

  • Daniel Craig is the best bond since connery, im a big bond fan and i dont hate any of the people who have played bond, but in all honest Daniel Craig is brilliant as bond hes more brutal, people are complaining at that? James Bond is brutal he has a licence to kill so why not make bond more tougher, use less gadgets and fight with his fists, cant wait for skyfall :)

  • This song sucks ass..period

  • And where are all the half naked women that used to be in all the opens so much that is was funny. yeah there are a few in this one but look at the older ones and there were A LOT MORE!!! which was great made bond funny and cool bc he could walk into a room, look at the most beautiful girl and even though she didn't want it at first, he always gets that pussy!!!!!

  • When Daniel Craig got into the picture, bond stopped being bond... People keep coming with the argues that things "need" to change... Look back in time, Bond never changed... and look now how many movies they manage to do when not changing the "Bond" feeling to it... They should have stopped making these movies instead of destroying the reputation of the old ones.

  • mute this and play the good the bad and the ugly theme it will be 10 times more epic.

  • i dont see why people hate Daniel Craig as James Bond, i think he's one of the better ones by far!!!! he's a new type of bond, one that can kick some arse without being all girly about it!!

  • @90GCB brutality is not a bond characteristic at first i didint living daylights & licence to kill but i love it now..timothy dalton is original james bond rest are all wastage except pierce brosnan who is sexiest bond ever..

  • @47mrcool 'brutality' is the new characteristic for bond and i love it! there's talks of Daniel Craig doing another 5 or 6 so there's enough time for people to change their minds haha! i guess he's like Marmite you either love him or hate him :)

  • @90GCB but the guy is seriously ugly & when le chiffre was hitting bond with the rope on his ass lol funniest scene ever,in casino royale & daneil was like ah ah .wish ian fleming was alive today he would love to see the films.

  • I always like all bond songs but this song is really disappointment :(

  • daniel craig, dosent suite James bond character, he is too rugged for this position, he just dosent match, i would prefer either pierce to come back or goerge clooney.

  • @pelicanus11 pierce maybe but not clooney... bonds British!

  • @HristiyanIvano dude that movie is slow everytime i try to watch in on the dvd i dont want to sit while watching it i move .its too long how many times have you seen it.ive only seen 2 times .but quantum of solace was writen by daneil craig himself he told it

  • @47mrcool of course it's slow, it's a spy movie not rambo :) i think it's the perfect bond movie, the other movies with some exceptions are too unrealistic :) of course bronsnan's bond is really good but quantum and especially casino royale are the best in the series so for :) but art is subjective, everyone has the right to like it or not

  • @HristiyanIvano people say craig is badass bond but i think brosnan is most ruthless & dangerous bond ever if you watch his films he blow many places up & loved to kill people..

  • @47mrcool If there is any Bond that like's to kill It's Daniel Craigs " James Bond" M have told alot of time to not kill the person he is hunting, still he does It

  • @xzorac that jason bourne lol wannabe LOL..what do you say matt damon can be a great james bond..& oh my god timothy olayphant(agent 47) if 47 & james bond fight bond will get raped.

  • @47mrcool what the fuck are you talking about dude?

  • @xzorac what the fuck LOL

  • I like the opening, like the actual video bit. Reminds me of some of the old Bond openings, like the astral map projection thing reminds me of You Only Live Twice, and the girls all spinning around reminds me of Live and Let Die in parts. But not a huge fan of the song!

  • the theme should have been seven nation army

  • well, for me the song does not suck but the opening isn't very good. I'd even describe it boring.

  • I don't like this one because of the way her voice sounds like a struggle and the way the song is sung. Behind "Die Another Day" this is the second worst of the series.

  • @remytron83 die another was a good song and good movie

    but i have to say it would be a tie between thunderball and goldeneye for the best movie

  • this is very good

    but i still think Cornell's was the best

    it was epic

  • Movie was alright, but this theme is honestly one of the worst in the franchise, a real step down from "You Know My Name" which was AWESOME!!! Skyfall better have a good theme....

  • @thedoctor7000 I thought it was an alright theme. Jack White was definitely a good choice.

    The artwork for the intro is amazing. Gives you that classic bond in a modern world feel.

  • worst bond movie song ever.

  • I liked quantum of solace.

  • sry, but all james bond opening themes are supposed to be sexy, somewhat threatening, and interesting...at the bare minimum. This has to be the worst theme song for a james bond movie..they couldn't have found another shirley bassey instead of two slightly retarded howlers to screech something out? Barbara Streisand is still alive, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears? Geezus, anyone beside the two half bit crackheads that took the first offer?

  • @MrVodkaking Britney Spears ???? LOL, Hopefuly, at least Alicia Keys actually sings 

  • @MrVodkaking nah the worst is definatey die another day

  • It's not bad, but it has always seemed the mixing is way off in the chorus. Boo!

  • turn the sound off on this video. Open a new window. go to short change hero by the heavy play it and watch the intro again. So much better

  • @HDskateboarding nice one

  • why people hate the world is not enough & die another day i love those movies..brosnan rocked it

  • First of all I like to say is everything in the video is good but...

    They could of done alot better with the opening and song choice

  • the song is good... but not good for a Bond movie.... :/

  • Never saw the movie yet, but the song sucks!

  • I don't know the reason for the vocals to not be in sync with each other but it makes the whole song sound like some kind of demo tape...

  • I think this song would have been better off without Alicia Keys imo

  • I like Craig, I think he's one of the best Bond actors. I think he and Rodger Moore were a bit unfortunate, they were really good in the role but had the bad luck to be in really terrible Bond movies like QoS and Octopussy.

  • @KingBlue Connery was better than Moore Not saying Moore wasnt good....but Connery was better.

  • i just saw last night from russia with love 1963 omg amazing movie .sean connery is best actor ever.

  • honestly, i forget this movie exists at times, casino royale was so gooood, and this movie was just bleh

  • Casino Royale proves, that Daniel Craig CAN be a perfect Bond...

  • Comment removed

  • new bond is shit, pure shit. It ended with brosnan

  • The idea of Bond is that he is always changing and staying current. That's why each actor that played him brought their own bond to the table. I love all bond films but for a successful bond film in these times it must be up to date, therefore, more action, different music etc. Don't hate, embrace the changes Bond goes through, that's what makes it more interesting, they can't just remake Goldfinger every two years.

  • @graphiteblimp99 They manage to do so for a great deal of time... And it worked, The truth is that bond was better before these ones...

  • @graphiteblimp99 yes they do need to update somethings but what made Bond so good was that he was always that cocky, horny, badass agent that could do anything. Thats how he was in the book when they made them into movies and thats why we fan love him. New music is always great to reflect the times but taking away stuff that was in the other Bond films is a mistake.

  • I like it, seriously

  • i find it has a nice laid back vibe but i guess that means it "has no class" ...whatever

  • Compared to Casino Royale, this one wasn't that good

  • ive just come from the moonraker opening, and what the hell has happened to the class?

  • Terrible Theme Song

  • Daniel craig and this song is different to the others, i see that. But as when we were kids listening to the old themes, the next generation will listen to this as their childhood, that doesnt make it bad

  • Guys, James bond in the 21st century...... move with the times

  • Daniel Craig sucks.

  • Idk kinda liked it, it has this whole swag thing going on

  • Casino Royale's opening sequence and song were 1000000000x better

  • I really like the song it sounds great but yea i think they tried kinda hard to make it a classic bond opening and ended up ruining it but the song is still awesome i feel that way pretty much about this whole movie they tried way to hard and ruined it story of quantum of solace

  • Alicia Keyes? how the hell do these people get famous???? This is strikingly poor and just has no taste nor class.

  • @highwaymantokyo shes famous Because shes talented

  • well, i don't know why everybody hates this song. I like it. it's modern, artistic bad-ass intro. ok yes, I also don't really like the theme/ intro - but I don't know why should every new Bond be like older versions.. tradition perhaps?

    (pardon my English.. ) :))

  • @AkinBrando Casino Royale had a decent modern song for the intro, but it was done better than this. They tried a little too hard on this one.

  • @ViciousXl2 yes, I agree - but I don't think it's the worst thing...

  • @AkinBrando I think it's okay if you're a fan of Alicia Keyes and/or Jack White, but it seems the majority of James Bond fans are not lol

    Gotta give the people what they want, right?

  • @ViciousXl2 no, i'm not really a fan of them (not my type of music, really..) - yes most of you fans dislike this, but I'm not the type of person that 'works' for popularity.

  • The more I hear this song, the more I love and I dont know how people can say its worse than Madonna. It sounds like a James Bond song to me. The only problem is the vocals. Would have been better with just Jack White or Alicia Keys

  • Seven Nation Army would have been better, music-wise XD! Jack always said he might've saved it for a spy movie! It's too bad he didn't save it a bit longer!

  • james bond has always been about a slow sax or something.. like you could pour yourself a dry martini and listen to it.. but im not pouring myself any martini to this song :(

  • I dont get why everyone says this is a bad bond opening i'll admit my knowledge of bond is bad but still is it that bad to have fewer hot chicks, jazz?

  • @jinjosaresocool i love all bond movies but casino royale wa unwanted reboot to the franchise . sean conrey will anal rape daneil craig if craig comes with him on screen..

    and tell me what good in quantum of solace have you seen it..i am thinking on picking it up..

    dalton is so dark as bond he loves to kick ass .daneil craig took the bond to steven segal mode i mean wtf

  • The theme for Casino Royale was amazing, this was nothing compared to that but wasn't as bad as some are making out... apart from when there's lyrics -.-

  • This was easily my favourite theme. If I wanted the same thing that was offered 40 years ago, I would find that on netflix. Humanity can only perceive time going in one direction. This tune and it's lyrics pay a good homage to back in the day while moving in that direction.

  • This song is easily the worst james bond theme i fucking hated it

  • all bond films are fantastic except daneil craig this guy is boring

  • haaaaaaaa this is fucked up LOL..daneil craig is curse on the legacy of james bond...no offence haaaa

  • @47mrcool

    What makes you say that? Is it because there's no real sci-fi in it or does it take itself too seriously or what? Not disagreeing, I'm just interested in peoples opinions.

  • @Javjean i watched casino royale 2 times & tried my best to enjoyed it but that fucker daneil craig cant talk for shit.hes slow ugly ,dont give a damn about martini .plus hes blond.also why he copies sean connery & timothy dalton...& look at this song does it look like a bond song to you.

  • @47mrcool

    When does he copy Dalton and Connery? They all copy from the Bonds previous to them, that's the tradition the series has got going. Plus, Craig is the most different out of all the interpretations of 007.

  • @Javjean just give me reasons that why should i watch quantum of solace .i have seen casino royale 2 times & tried to find a bond feeling in it but its messed up .but dont you think the guy is ugly plus he walks like hes fucked by a donkey.on offence to his fans he may be a good actor but i dont see his as bond. now sean connery,timothy dalton,rooger moore & pierce brosnan are classic bonds .just imagine casino royale with brosnan ..

    & did you enjoyed his movies??

  • @47mrcool

    Quantum of Solace was ok, but it wasn't a stand alone film and actually became tedious at times. He looks alright to all the girls I've talked to about him anyway. I know what you mean about there not being a Bond Feeling, but they were going for a realistic version of Bond. I think that Daniel Craig does a good delivery of what the director was going for. I like Casino Royale because they keep everything realistic, like it could actually happen. A lot of people like the 'real' in it

  • @Javjean but Goldeneye is best movie ever along with the living daylights & licence to kill

  • @47mrcool

    i wouldn't know, haven't seen 'em.

  • @Javjean tell me you didnt just say that ..ive seen Dr no,casino royale,diamonds are forever,a view to a kill,recently bought the dvd of Goldeneye 1995 i will watch all of them.

    whats your collection

  • @47mrcool

    Casino Royale, Diamonds are Forever, From Russia with Love, Die Another Day, Live and let Die and Quantum of Solace.

  • @Javjean oh also die another day & tomorrow never dies love them .i have not seen the world is not enough ,& how is licence to kill .there is a website called crazymovies.in some great bond movies are there in avi format..anyway ill check Q of solace just to see some action not craig LOL

  • @47mrcool

    Oh yeah, forgot license to kill, saw that too. It was alright. Weird though. Action doesn't happen much.

  • @47mrcool two words - Casino Royale

  • @47mrcool I actually preferred Goldfinger, each to his own I guess.

  • @lindyan i read that craig is about to do 8 more bond films oh man hes gonna be 70 years old by then..to be hones i want a bond film all previous bonds return i love to see timothy dalton back.

  • Comment removed

  • @47mrcool Dude, use proper grammar! No one will take your comment seriously if you don't!

  • @foolintherain100 man i dont care and whats up with bond 23 is it coming or not..i hear its name is sky fall .craig needs black hair..blond looks gay

  • @47mrcool Yeah, they just recently started filming it, it's probably gonna be called Skyfall. And I know he doesn't have the right hair color, but at least he plays the part. I can sacrifice black hair for a good actor to play bond.

  • @foolintherain100 so whats you bond dvd collection you do collect or not.i recently bought goldeneye,the living daylights & licence to kill.other i download..timothy dalton is so badass.according to the ian flemings book dalton is true bond.i was amazed..saw from russia with love of sean conerry.he rocks.

  • @47mrcool I've got pretty much all of the bond movies, except for Roger Moore, I only have a few of his. I agree with you though, Dalton and Connery do an awesome job!

  • @foolintherain100 yes even my mom likes roger moore.he was hot back then..for you eyes only is the has best chase scenes ever

  • @47mrcool The opening animations are very cool though you must admit

  • @higoshimaru yes ive got this film on dvd & casino royale but man licence to kill & goldeneye are my favorite.

  • yeah its a little long but thats only because if it didn't run for the whole song it would just be stupid. its a good intro and a really good song, they wouldn't have a very big audience if they used some stupid 60's song from the originals. all of you saying this is terrible, fuck you.

  • Why has Quantum of Solace no gunbarrel in the opening sequence? Only a litte in the end. By Casino Royal it was OK for me (because it was Bonds first mission), but this? I hope BOND 23 is better, with Gunbarrel, with Q, with Monnypenny and all that stuff.

  • am i the only one that digs the riff of this song?

  • @drag253 I love it, one of the best bond openings ever.

  • No chemistry in this intro. The movie was easily one of the weakest of the bond movies. Only one I disliked more was Moonraker.

  • It is alright till they 'sing'. Easily the WORST Bond theme. What were they thinking?!

  • Rubbish. The only decent one in the last 15 years was "The World is Not Enoguh", which wasn't that great. This movie is one of the weakest of the whole franchise... including the movie itself.

  • the songs for die another day, live and let die, octopussy, moonraker,and tomarrow never dies were 100 percent worse then this song.

  • Not a bad song, but not a Bond song either.

  • I actually quite like the song. Cool tone, great drums, dark chords, nice guitar hook...

    The problem is the vocals. For the life of me I can't understand why they thought singing in unison was a good idea. Their voices don't blend at all.

    They should have at least sung in harmony, but really for this kind of shouty song you just want one raw vocal.

    Two together is just a mess. Sounds like karaoke or something!

  • What's with the hate? I like this song, its catchy and upbeat and yet there is a sinister undertone, good opening song.

  • I don't mind the song. Jack White's singing is a bit pitchy, but overall I like the dark sounding bass, creative drum bits, piano in general, and how it incorporates the classic bond theme song.

    In no way is this worse, as a bond intro, than Madonna's mainstream, auto-tune garbage in die another day.

  • Ugh, it's like when they make a crappy kid's show and give a rap theme opening. One Piece did a similar thing...

  • la musique est pas mal mais elle cole pas du tout a l esprit de james bond mais malgre ca,le film est bon.

  • Casino Royal openning song was the best

  • this would sound fucking good if you where the one playing it on the instruments or something but really this is fucking terrible just get chris cornell back u fucks

  • Wow. We went from the epic intro from Casino to ... this.

    Excuse me. I need to clean up the throw up.

  • i thought this film was really good :D just not as good as casino royal.

  • One of the worst opening credits like goldeneye, license to kill..no nude women. only graphics and childish stuff.

  • Of all the Bonds, I like Sean Connery, Roger Moore and Pierce Brosnan. Timothy Dalton don't act well as 007. Daniel Craig has good acting skills but he looks like a villain haha. George Lazenby look like a comedian.

  • High quality video & sound.

  • pfff, internet critics.

  • the instrumentals are fantastic but the vocals from BOTH White and Keys are atrocious

  • OMG how can it be so terrible!!! Come on, is it really a James Bond theme??? Disgusting.

  • @Taktikusz

    What makes you say that?

  • @Javjean

    Also, sorry to bother you again, but what do you think makes a good James Bond theme, then? Also, what did you think of Casino Royale's opening?

  • @Taktikusz i kinda like it....:/

  • chris cornell takes some beating

  • the song from the first film is better than this one

  • good movie i am shocked that alicia keys didnt sing a decent song for this movie she can sing but jack white screwed things up i believe.

  • I think I speak for Bond fans everywhere when I say THIS SONG CAN GO FUCK ITSELF!!!!

  • James Bond Belongs in a MUSEUM

  • What an awful Misrepresentation of 007...Sure its got Lots of Women Doing Burlesque. But besides phonographic silhouettes in the sand.. what does this actually have to do with James bond!?

  • @CrazedFisherman That is the way every single Bond film's open credits go.... It's iconic and a staple of the entire series. Every film produced by the Eon production team features that style of women's silhouettes

  • @UWPurpleAndGold I May Disagree with you there. But Lets Both agree that it was a Dangerous risk to use a rap theme for James Bond....

  • @CrazedFisherman um have u ever seen a James Bond movie. Everything hahaha James Bond is all about action and "getting the girl" type. The silhouettes are nothing new trust me.

  • I think this opening would be more accepted if they had it call 007 Another Way To Die.

  • @BigBangK1 They're using Fleming's novel titles for the new films, but yeah it sounds tight

  • the sexiest opening scene ever created by man...

  • the worst bond theme ever they can't even sing it's not a bond song there was loads of songs to pick michael bublé's songs rain on your parade by duffy and many more

  • Another Way To Die would have made a great Bond title!

  • @223JMH Right But since they rebooted the serise they are going by the titles in the novel series.

  • What's with all of the hate for this song? Sure, it's definitely not even close to the top tier of Bond songs, but I still think it's pretty great.

  • baing baing baing

    3:38 of pure cringing.

  • james bond has the best openings for like any movie ever

  • Wow this song actually makes Madonnas song sound good.

  • @mcpwns Are you kidding me? Madonna's version completely made no sense and was stupid, at least here the instruments are played pretty well and slick, whilst Madonna was just a retarded pop song.

    And the singer in this was not bad either, but that's just my opinion.

  • @mcpwns I think Die Another Day was by far the worst...

  • @mcpwns That really isn't possible.

  • @mcpwns oh this is not madonna btw haha

  • @mcpwns

    Nothing can make Madonna sound good. What makes you say that this theme is bad? Is it just the way it's kind of drawn out or because of the pointless symbolism? Seriously wondering.

  • i dont understand why u ppl dont like this song opening guitar part rocks so hard... this movie was alot better than ppl give it credit for you just have to see casino royal right before this one because this is one of the only times that 2 bond movies build on each other kinda of

  • i dont even understand what they are saying half the time...

  • two wrongs CAN make a right, just the same way, two rights can make a wrong. . . . oh. . . so wrong.

  • such a bad bond song....

    

  • i love this song! 

  • Alicia Keys no. It would have sounded way better if it was Mr. White only

  • @DeathNoteFreak000

    Thats funny cause the bad guy is called mr.white

  • Casino Royale opening is much better D=

  • Worst Bond song. Ever.

  • I'd probably really like an instrumental of this song.

  • it was good until they started singing....lol

  • La Roux or the Gorillaz aughtta do the new opening.

  • I love the song and the movie.

  • what a shit movie this was compared to Casino Royale... Song also

    

  • Like everyone else, I love the video, but the song just... it just... God, it just isn't very good. I won't lie, it has kind of grown on me, to the point that I can tolerate it (at first I couldn't stand listening to it), but I can't forgive it. As for the movie itself, the best that can be said is that it isn't another Die Another Day.
