@MattyTheBassist Incorrect. The previous movie, Casino Royale, had the theme song "You Know My Name" by Chris Cornell. Going back even further, the very first 007 movie, Dr. No, had the theme song "Kingston Calypso." (the three blind mice song) I'm sure there are more, but those are the only ones I can remember off the top of my head.
I thought it was badass, then i heard the chorus... Only one of them should have sung the chorus, ´cause their voices just doesn´t match each other : /
Replace Alicia Keys with Alison Mosshart and it would be perfect, Jack really should have done this with The Dead Weather although I don't suppose he had the choice. Although I don't think he formed that band until after this was done. :P
@HamishIanFinlay: Did you ever think that maybe he wanted to be with her because he WANTED to be, and not what you think? They might even do an album together, and it might be amazing! Stop being such a prejudiced white R&B/urban hater, and EXPAND your musical palette somewhat-you'll enjoy music more, and won't be as bored.
@Neville6000 I'm not saying I hate it at all, I'd say Alicia Keys is one of the better modern R&B singers, however I just think it would have been great publicity for the Dead Weather if they'd done it, but anyway that wouldn't have been possible as they hadn't formed at that point. What I'm really trying to say is that Jack and Allison's voices resinate perfectly together, as apposed to his and Alicia's which are more like inverted reflections, in a good way.
@rachellostinoregon Lol beyotch... Feel sorry for yours, I was just expressing my opinion that Alicia is way better than this freak and you're replying to a 3 weeks old comment on youtube, wtf. :D
@Silverlance988 I don't really care if it was 3 weeks old, it could have been 3 years ago and I still would have said that I feel sorry for you. Jack is definitely not a freak, but you can think what you will. While the rest of us will enjoy Jack White, you can have Alicia Keys. :)
although i don't like the music alicia keys does, I like her voice and I respect her for being that awesome on the piano, but jack white fucking RULES
@jillybean190 and @aramon5, you both have a right to your opinions, but I totally disagree. Alicia balanced the dynamic and that's what made this song work. If Jack had done it solo it would've been like almost any other Bond song in the history of the franchise.
this is beautiful, shame people are too closed minded to get it, if that chick from the kills was singing everyone would have been all over it, sad fact. mr ahite laid down an awseome riff and alicia adds that classic bond songstress feel. the piano is great too, a true crossover of styles.
@kkibela I always felt like They don't really have any chemistry together. It briings the whole song down as it's supposed to ramp up. They start sing together and it turns from a pretty good song to a pretty bad song.
Honestly, I don't really get all the hype about Jack White's guitar playing. What is it that has you all in such a religious fervor? Is it just the distortion he uses? Because typically most of his work is quite simple, and this is no exception.
@MerlinofAmber BAHAHA most his guitar playing is simple because it is blues guitar playing, it's part of the idea. watch blue veins or will there be enough water and then maybe you'll see
@MerlinofAmber he is jsut an awesome songwriter and so he gets out very much feeling out of every note - watch 'it might get loud' to understand his concept
@DoubleYellowLinesUzu You're right for the most part, but its not a bass riff. The Seven Nation Army riff is on the guitar. There is no bass in The White Stripes.
True, he almost made all drums for the white stripes. He explains most of the drums to Meg or he tells Meg what to do. And yes Meg is actually not so good drummer, but the white stripes = concept. And we need more concept bands/musicians these days to be honest! Btw. what an ugly guitar, eeeew
This is way different than the other Bond songs but definitely not bad. It fits the change in style that the movie was filmed in, more raw, more modern. Alicia Keys looks like a goddess and Jack White plays guitar like a god. Anyone who disagrees with me is an idiot. That is the permanent truth.
@justap1mp90210 Of course man, I mean the new series of 007 are more realistic, no always-good-looking-James-Bond but a 007 that fights like a pig and finishes the battles harmed like a real 007 soldier. Daniel Craig is awesome!!
@Fulscript: Too bad that, due to fans who can't get out of the past, James Bond might be back to the same ole, same old format of The World Is Not Enough and Die Another Day. Thanks, traditional James Bond fans!
I like the song, they sound good together, but ... it's not a BOND song. When you hear it you don't get that Bond vibe I loved sooo much in Sheryl's Tina's or Garbage songs.
