this is probably the best bond theme, along with The living daylights, a view to a kill and you know my name. shame it wasn't used.

haha. wow.  you'd think they'd pick this over lulu.

Ave Cooper! \m/

If this would have come out, after the monster that the song Live and Let Die was a year and a half earlier, the Coop would've been ridiculed. Not even a re-working could save this.  It's fascinating hearing it though, so no "like" or "dislike." Thanks for keeping it posted....

Until last year, I had no idea that one of my favorite musicians submitted a bond song! This should've been used. Seriously, not to disrespect Lulu or her song, but this one is way better.

mmm...gotta admit when i first heard the Lulu's version it stood out cuz it didn't seem to belong to the james bond theme fold, but it just grew on me over time. now, this...gotta say not much of an Alice Cooper fan, but, i really dig this song, in a very retro kind of way.

now, to choose between the two to be used for that movie, in that period of time...i gotta say it's a toss. cooper's song would've worked as well..maybe with a lil different arrangement.

I'll admit it's an interesting song, a tad better in itself than the one they used.....but a Bond title song has to be better than that, better than just being able to be used for the title. It has to be able to be used, instrumentally, at other parts of the movie, in scenes, and the Lulu song is superior for that. Further, this one just totally clashes with the opening footage. They might have shot different footage, but maybe it was just easier to find a song that didn't clash.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!

This is a cool song

The Lulu version is better. It fits James Bond's character more than this version.

Picture this song but with Lulu belting it out instead. I wonder if the Coop would have been up for that. I think it would have worked perfectly, having the sultry yet shouty female vocal but the rest intact.

Oh my Fucking God I Can't believe this Existed, & they chose that Horrid piece of POP over it! I used to think Lulu's Version was good, but now.. Oh my Goodness this is about a Billion Times better. I Say Re-Score the Film. While you're at it, Re-Cast it because Roger Moore is shit n'all! Roger Fucking Moore? That Tart? What a Disasterous Film. Lee was Good but he was doing what he does best anyway. All of Roger Moore's Films were Crap Accept Live & Let Die. But only coz he didn't do the brow.
