"You Know My Name" Best Title Song?

ZorinIndustries

This morning, I was listening to Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale. I thought to myself how good it was. The song is electric and it maintains that Bond vibe. It successfully ties in spy music with hard rock, yet it's very modern. What do you guys think of the piece, and is it the best title song yet?

Im with you i think its well up there with one of the best bond songs!

Wilde

Yes in my opinion, one of the best. I quite like 'license to kill' too.

DEFIANT 74205

It's in my top ten, but I'm not so sure about it being 'the best'. I think the original James Bond Theme, Goldfinger, Thunderball, On Her Majesty's Secret Service (instrumental) and Goldeneye all rank above You Know My Name.

I'm not sure if I consider it THE best song (One of em for sure), but it gets my vote for best opening credits sequence. I remember getting goosebumps in the theatre when the chrous kicked in. You can imagine my disapointment 2 years later sitting through the opening credits of QOS

DrFragment

Not the best ever, but very good & just right for the reboot & DC.

GoldenEye85

You know My name, is a very good song and one of the best in a while. Die Another Day's theme wasn't that great. love the movie, but not the theme.

My top list goes like this:

Live and Let Die (both GnR and Paul McCartney)
Goldfinger
Golden Gun
Tomorrow Never Dies
License to Kill
You Know My Name
Living Daylights

other notables include:
A View to a Kill
On her Majesty's Secret Service
For Your Eyes Only
GoldenEye
The World is Not Enough

Thunderbird 2

For me You Know My Name is my outright favorite Bond Song, for the same reason I have Goldfinger in no 2 - both songs nicely reflect the nature of the films they are attached to.

For me there is musical symmetry to Bond themes.- Aha's Living Daylights is a great song partnered with a good film, A View To a Kill is a classic Duran Duran track partnered to an awful film, (Sorry Sir Roger) and Another Way to Die, is a tragically naff song, partnered with the second most naff Bond film!

The other songs all vary between thoroughly enjoyable to its alright.

Probably my favourite is diamonds are forever, goldeneye and the living daylights! In fact when i think about it there's only one i don't care for.... Die another day. But that could be because i! don't particularly like maddona?

Q and M

you know my name and the living daylights, top 2 for sure in no order

SilentSpy

One of the best title songs. But all of them are good except Quantum of Solace. But Quantum's problem is mainly the vocals. The background music isn't that bad.

Chris Cornell's "You Know My Name" from Casino Royale

Best bond song and best bond film in modern times.

smudgedude

that song (and soundgarden) finally made it okay for me to forgive cornell for his atrocious solo album.

SpectreBlofeld

Probably my favorite theme, yes, especially the more rockin' version (as opposed the more sedate version that played during the actual opening credits).

I love the song so much that if I ever go back to doing cover sets I am adding it to my set list!!!!!!!! B)B)B)
