They aren't singing the title? Infamy!

Is the IT angle possibly the fact that there are gadgets involved?

Can't say I'm looking forward to hearing it as it sounds like a pretty poor combination. For my money Muse should have got it.

At least they kept Meg off the drums..

This could be good, but if there's going to a weak link, it's going to be Keys.

Hopefully Jack will be writing it alone.

Alicia Keys and Jack Black would have been better! Might possilby have been the best 007 song in the world! ;)

Should have got John '00' Fleming to come up with something.

OK - bad pun aside (coat man icon)...

Amy, for all her drug taking faults, is a more interesting and resolutely British icon - it is madness to have a yank on this track!

I thought the Bond producers were going for a more real and gritty image - having a soul songstress like keys doesn't measure up to the whacked-out whinehouse all of a sudden...!

Boooo!

"it is madness to have a yank on this track!"

You mean like the last 6 films? Apart from Garbage (who are American but with a British lead singer), the last Bond movie to have a non-American lead track is The Living Daylights.

I agree in principle, but it's a bit late to be complaining about that sort of thing...

Yes, but, then we'd have to ask ourselves: Is 007 a british superhero, or is he just a character from the British secret service who is oh so obviously British?

Limiting the franchise to nothing but fanfare for everything [insert character's nationality here] would be pretty damn stale.

It did work for Austin Powers, though...

Good luck with finding a rhyme for "Quantum of Solace". No wonder they couldn't find anyone better, I wouldn't touch this one with a barge pole...

Pretty much my thoughts when I read Graham Dawson's comment: "Because 'solace' would be a prick to find rhymes for."

Quantum of Solace / furniture polish

I'll have my fee in used tenners, ta very much.

"it is madness to have a yank on this track!"

What, like Chris "Oo-er I've got a sore throat" Cornell?

OK boys and girls - granted - there have been plenty of yanks on Bond tracks over the years - I never said there wasn't!

I just noted that Amy is more resolutely British - which James (regardless of the nationality of his actor at any given time) is - at least in stereotype/demeanour!

And Paris?

Well, for one night in.....

> Good luck with finding a rhyme for "Quantum of Solace".

Managed it with 'The Spy Who Loved Me' :-).

The only other title that wasn't in the lyrics (apart from Dr No, that didn't have a specific song) is 'Octopussy', they could at least have a try.

Alan.

Good riddance to "whacked-out whinehouse" that freak deserves to be marginalised. The only reason she is in business is much like doherty - makes people feel better about themselves while selling papers.

Yay!
