    I never understood those music critiques that said Chris Cornell's James Bond Soundtrack was the least favorable. You Know My Name is the best one and it has been my favorite ever since it was out in '06.

      It's simple really, critics don't have a fucking clue what they're talking about. You just have to look at the disparity between critic and audience scores on rotten tomatoes to see that, a lot of critics allow their pockets and political opinions to influence their reviews, and they often aspire to swim in the circles of utmost snobbery which is why they always find some convoluted way to explain why they don't like a particular thing and throw disproportionate praise towards anything "stunning and brave".
      This song is one of the classic Bond themes, probably somewhere around 5th place, critics are morons.

    The most powerful and lyrically correct interpretation of the James Bond character. This theme song was not just for Casino Royale but set the tone for the Craig-era Bond films. No other theme song came close.

      In my mind, he's taking turns fronting the best band in the afterlife, along with Bowie and Freddie Mercury. Hendrix, Brian Jones, and Kurt Cobain on guitars, Lemmy and Cliff Burton on bass, and John Bonham and Neal Peart on drums. Makes being dead seem not so bad.

      hankock09 It's more related to a Chris Cornell rock song more than it's related to james bond. It's bond for like the first 10 seconds, but once he starts singing, it's a really catchy rock song. Not like Goldfinger, a perfect bond song. Skyfall was in line with that kind of music. Even Sheryll Crow had a song similar to her style , but still felt like a bond song. This is like how Nobody Does it Better is a great song, but doesn't sound like a Bond song.

      There was also something written by him about Chris, I'll just paste it here in case yall are interested;
      "He was a HUGE deal in my life as a musician. Total hero status. I LEARNED my first bass lines in my garage with friends by playing along to "SuperUnknown" and the "Temple of the Dog" album. Grunge is as much a part of me as Jazz and Chris was one of the kings. Him, Kurt, Eddie. That music guided me through my early teens. I geeked out with him for hours the first time we met. His stories of what unfolded in the Seattle Grunge scene reminded me of the connection I had with my friends in Los Angeles. In many ways Chris inspired me to solidify the WCGD, and believe in each other. RIP Chris, Carry On brother. My heart goes out to his family. *M"

    I think I can understand the conflict about Chris’s contribution to the Bond musical legacy. Personally, I think it’s right up there with Dame Shirley Bassey’s Bond Songs. (Rare to get to do one, she’s done multiples.) By Casino Royals, we know who Bond is; or we at least think we do, conditioned by four decades of films. But this is the first time we truly meet him, when he is simply James Bond and not Bond, James Bond. Chris’s song fits that. We know his name, he’s still discovering it and becoming the charming, dangerous man we’ve known for so long.
