for the bond film?


a lot of people won't like it but i dig it

Thanks for posting. Still not sure how I feel about the song. There are aspects that I really like but then there are moments when I find myself cringing. Maybe I’ll react differently hearing it in the theater with the visuals.

I think it would be tough to find a more mismatched duet. Sure you could match it, but not exceed it.

White's off key screeching while Keys tries to sing just didn't do it for me.

worst bond theme ever...they get worse and worse....bring back shirley bassey !

i respectfully disagree

i get the screetching part... but the fact is he's not off key... there might be notes used (like a harmony) that you find unpleasant... but again... he is absolutely not off key

i kinda like the fact that it's a mismatched duet.... makes it interesting for me

Oh well now that's a whole nother level right there! They can't compete with Shirley.

Really boring.

Both song and video.

They're vocies don't work together at all.


I said it once and will say it over and over again.

A new Bond theme should sound like this:

Or like this for more upbeat:

I really tried to like it, but ultimately the screeching, fits his style, but does it fit a Bond theme? There is nothing smooth about it and I associate smooth with Bond themes. I also found it repetitive by the end. The 3rd verse just totally lost me when it hit.

I don't know. I like the feel of it, and it blends all three styles, Bond, Jack, and Alicia pretty well.

But is it actually a song, or is it just music?

I thought it was so bad I switched channels after fifteen seconds.


Your second choice is rather homo-erotic, as choice for a Bond song.

HamsterHuey said:

Well.



But I was referring to their stylistics.
Check out their "If I Know You" - they have that dark / melanholic sound which suits Bond.

Only if it's got wrestling half naked beautiful boys.

Not bad. I kind of like it. Although, maybe I'm biased because I'm a fan of both.

HamsterHuey said:

You could listen to it to some porn.

Which reminds me: you might wanna check out their "Anywhere"

I don't think y'all have the formula for a Bond theme/video Bye!

just loving jack's fuzz guitar tone.... made me get out all my fuzz pedals today and crank them... the neighbours were pleased

Jack White going mainstream.....


This is just the latest proof that he's so overrated, he's even sits behind the drums in this clip.....

abierman said:

Song is just ok....but it's kinda growing on me...

Oh yeah and...


Jack White

Sweeny79 said:

I know he's your idol, but please name the last good album of The White Stripes.....and The Raconteurs aren't that exciting either I'm afraid!
And now this.....

abierman said:

I liked Icky Thump... I like all of their albums in one way or another.
I'm not saying Jack is the greatest musician to ever walk the earth, but he has something.... an integrity...an honest, almost old fashioned connection with music that people respond to...you don't dig it...that's cool, but calling him "overrated" isn't fair.

abierman said:

jack has a rawness that i dig... if you don't feel it... that's ok

If i see Jack in the Top 10 best guitartists of all time again im going to lose my fucking mind. Sorry but that is just an overrated claim,its written by people that think Kurt Cobain is a better guitar player than Brian May? Excuse me? As for the song, the beginning little Bond riffs are RIPPED off from the "Living Daylights" theme, it might even be a sample. Also when did Alicia lose so much weight, it seems HOLLYWOOD has got her conforming. I do see why they wanted ALICIA on this track, to SELL, the Bond themes have not done anything commercial for the most part in quite some time, they have been very hit and miss.

yeah... he aint even close

They are a mis-match but I like their voices together. I like the raw sound of Jack's voice too. I just don't think the actual song is strong enough.
