"Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell is to record the theme tune to new Bond film Casino Royale"
This excites me as I am a fan of Chris's current band Audioslave and certainly do not mind hearing the odd Soundgarden track.
Since Tomorrow Never Dies, in my opinion, the Bond films have been poor, really poor. I am led to believe Casino Royale will try to correct this by being a film that is actually good, and to be honest, a change of frontman was probably the best decision the guys behind Bond could have made as well as getting rid of the directing bloke responsible for XXX and The Fast and the Furious (and in my opinion the downfall of Bond films).
A change of director, a change of style, and now news that there will even be a change of sorts in the music department; a male has not sung the title track of a Bond film since A'ha way back in 1987! This is just more good news in my opinion. Chris Cornell's voice is great. It is grungy and driving without grating and so the new title track of the film titled You Know My Name should be a success.
Fingers crossed for a long-awaited good Bond film.
