"Anyone who calls themselves 'A-Ha" Was there really any reason to comment this way Mr. Barry ? What has that to do with the issue ? Childish.

[Cta2006]

a-ha has fans as varied such as Chris Martin and Coldplay, Keane, Travis, Radiohead, Liam Gallagher, Sarah Brightman, Robbie Williams, Neil Tennant ( Pet Shop Boys ), Adam Clayton, Leonard Cohen, Carl Perkins, The Everly Brothers, Graham Nash ( of the Crosby Stills and Nash ) and who sings backing vocals on a-ha's Analogue album, Carl Perkins, Audioslave, Kanya West, Morrissey to name just a few and they have all spoken very favorably of a-ha. Some on several occations.

@dayargrosario

You have to understand, such disputes are very common with score legends when dealing with young bands. You won’t find much interviews with Nich Rhodes and Barry as well, and for a very good reason. It is well documented, that Rhodes (althought great asset) was constanly irritated with being less educated in craft then Barry, and constantly refused to take his suggestions.

@AouretVolkenVisage the thing is that I dont think barry didn´t like their work..he was angry beacuse he wanted them to be present at the movie opened but they have a comitment wich was a concert in japan the same day..so beacuse of that he put the pretender´s song in the debut of the movie..and very bad attitude of him talking so bad about a great band!!

i found this in a post from 2005

This does not please the Bond-folk who expected a-ha to cancel their sold-out tour to be at the premiere. John Barry takes this opportunity to speak out to the press about how difficult a-ha are to work with. The decision is made to neglect the song in the States and use another song as the title song for the U.S. version of the movie.

[cristinawilligs]

Barry was angry at a-ha because they didn't want to credit him as a writer to the track, but the track had already been written a couple of months earlier by Pål Waaktaar. while on tour with a-ha . The Royal Premiere of the James Bond film "The Living Daylights" is held in London. Charles and Diana from the Royal family attend. a-ha cannot be there as they are on tour in Japan.
