Bono - GoldenEye

[bloodypizza86]

I remember this demo, yeeeears ago I found it at soulseek, but my hard disk died and I was trying to download it again and nobody believe me that there was a version of this song by Bono xD

Thanks (there's another demo???)

[KangoTV]

Whoa. I've just discovered there's 2 demos for this. The other is on here as well.

[jazzygeofferz]

This is pretty hard to listen to. Tina turner's version is great. I'd love to have heard what Shirley Bassey could have done, but she'd doneso many Bond themes already...

[tahoevic]

Sounds like Lemon

[AltRockAddict]

Bono and The Edge are the greatest songwriters of our generation. B-Man really knows how to write to other people's voices/strengths, even when his own voice isn't 100% suited for the material. He's truly gifted, a musical genius!

[sunshinebutmorerain]

Oddly, more effective. 

[mario10888]

It sounds like  karaoke. Weak demo.

[kylehudson00]

@mario10888 It sounds like a demo.

[JamesBLonde0059]

Neat, but I can see why Tina Turner sang this song and not Bono. :/

[RealDefentertainment]

@JamesBLonde0059 they wrote the song specifically for her so obviously he sang it in a way that ina Turner would/should sing it.

[cristinaff]

Didn't know this version. It is cool. Bono is great.

[DownSouth94]

MacPhisto shud have a greatest hits....single lol

[Criistiiano7Ronaldo9]

[angiemama]

meinst du heute Abend's "Wer will Millionär" ?? lol

[MarkvanDark]

WWM

[SeeDeeBee86]

Exakt! ^^

[EnnCamp]

Tina Turner, had a great hit with this song, in France.

[sharihotsu78]

@EnnCamp In all Europe!

[jordanlee24]

It doesn't sound like bono singing.

[TheAmiyakumar]

@jordanlee24 its mr macphisto. An alter ego of bono who used to call presidents in early nineties live at concerts

[JMein13074]

This feels more like Bono imitating Shirley Bassey than him actually singing.

[sharihotsu78]

I want tina and bono singing this song together one day....

[Umuliuz]

I think it sounds the way it does because it Bono and Edge wrote the song for Tina, and her register. So Bono can´t really use his voice the way he usually does. This is...i guess....just a demo. Just to show her his thoughts on how the lyrics sould be sung.

[TerryTrust]

lol i never heard that one.. by bono ofcorse. yea Tinna perfoms better this song :)

[Avaruusbanaani]

LOL..Turner copied MacPhisto, her version is exactly the same!

[lol365]

Tina Turner's vocals are much more in line with the Bond franchise, louder, bolder and brasher. Great lyrics, but I think it's Tina's song to sing.

[AndyTheGoat]

I agree! :P

She has added more power and feelings to it too I think :D

[Mepamper]

A good wink for Pierce Bronsan!

[redjaguar2]

I love Bono but I'm grateful they didn't use this version of the song in the movie, or else Bono and U2 might have fallen prey to the infamous 007 curse that ends the careers of all the artist who do record a Bond theme! lol! Thank god U2 lived to play another day!

[xTHUNDERGALOREx]

Paul McCartney ?

Garbage ?

Madonna ?

Sheryl Crow ?

Sheena Easton ?

Didn't they all have successful careers after bond?

[10kenbank]

You Told Him!

[mipmipmipmipmip]

I think what actually happens is that they take artists who are already at their top anyway.

[tommywm24]

I don't think Paul McCartney was famous before 'Live and Let Die'...lol!

[mircuryretro]

Both versions are great...but I feel like the Tina Turner one is a tad darker (I can't figure why...this one seems like it would resonate darker with me, but it doesn't.) which worked better for me in the end.  Great song either way

[rorrt]

its a bit mumbly, the Turner one truly was an anthem

[jamesdin2]

it's only a demo though eh, if they recorded a proper version it would be a lot better

[rorrt]

was it..

but still i think a good bond theme leaves you humming the tune on the way to your car outside the cinema, and the Turner one does that, though a proper version would be great.

[RikiCe85]

RARE!!!

[bonozevolik]

You're wrong! It's not Bono singing, but Mr. McPhisto, can't you see?? It's the only studio recording of McPhisto's voice!

[SirJackRyan]

Yeap, indeed, that's not Bono by the microphone, it's mr. McPhisto! :)

[misterninjabot]

Bono just professed his secret crush on James Bond over MIDI instruments.

[LOTRDX]

Where did you get his version? Anyways, thank you so much.

[roguehawk07]

I always wanted to know if Bono made a version of his song, interesting difference from the original! It doesn't even sound like Bono.

[SaintSylvia]

Super, thanks!

[Mala19]

Very cool...you go Bono!!
