Title: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: Genesis on July 27, 2006, 11:35:39 AM Audioslave frontman Chris Cornell is to write and record the theme tune to the new James Bond film, Casino Royale.
The theme for the 21st Bond film, in which Daniel Craig will debut as 007, is titled You Know My Name. A film spokeswoman said Cornell's music was "both soulful and tough" and "the perfect complement" to the film. Casino Royale will receive its world premiere in London on 14 November. The film is released three days later in the UK and US. US rocker Cornell was previously the singer with Seattle rock group Soundgarden. Bond classics He joins a long list of famous names who have recorded songs for Bond films, including Madonna, Sir Paul McCartney, Duran Duran, Shirley Bassey, Tina Turner and Nancy Sinatra. Many of the songs from the early Bond movies have become classics, such as Bassey's Goldfinger and Sinatra's You Only Live Twice. But recent efforts like Tina Turner's Goldeneye and Sheryl Crow's Tomorrow Never Dies have proved less enduringly popular. Casino Royale is based on the first of Ian Fleming's celebrated spy novels. All funds from the Royal Film Performance will go to the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund (CTBF).The first Royal Film Performance took place in 1946 and has been held every year since, apart from 1958.

Not totally into audiosalve, but very interested into what they come up with. interesting choice for the Bond theme. I'm not much of an Audioslave fan either. But Soundgarden is my second favorite band. :beer:Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: mrlee on July 28, 2006, 08:14:00 AM thing is he can hardly sing anymore, live anyway.
i think he should have a rest and let his vocals heal up a bit. Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: babydolls on July 28, 2006, 10:52:04 AM soundgarden knocked spots off nearly every other band at Reading 95 - fantastic. I miss them.
Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: gilld1 on July 28, 2006, 05:36:46 PM I think he is supposed to have another solo album too. His first was great but went way under the radar.

Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: GNR_Green on August 02, 2006, 02:48:14 PM I'm surprised they looked to a 'rock' man for a Bond film, makes a change. Good choice, If Cornell's on form this could be great. Soundgarden were awesome, I was listening to Badmotorfinger yesterday :drool:
Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: jimmythegent on August 02, 2006, 08:55:58 PM very excited to hear that one of my favourite singers will be gong solo again. thisis the best option - Audioslave, although good in parts, are no Soundgarden
Chris's first solo album is an under rated masterpiece imo Title: Re: Chris Cornell To Record New Bond Theme Post by: CheapJon on August 04, 2006, 05:14:58 PM it think this is cool.. he is one of those guys with a special unique voice.. i like audioslave too.. just loves doesn't remind me.. have not heard much from soundgarden.. only like 3 songs
