Yeah we're due for another god-awful Bond theme since the last one was pretty awesome.

Skyfall kicked ass even if I'm not an Adele fan. Fail to see how disclosure's style is going to fit though.

It will probably be on par with Madonna's 'Die Another Day'; shit on top of shit. You ask me, they haven't had a really "good" theme since Casino Royale.

Really wish that he would stop whining like a dog that's been kicked in the balls a few times.

Mate of mine happened to be in the studio when they recorded this and didn't even realise it was the Bond theme until it got announced a few days later. Not sure what the point of saying that was but felt it was relevant.

Yeah I'm not a huge fan of Adele but Skyfall was really good, not sure if this one is gonna hold up against it.

Casino royale was one of the best ones in a long time I think there was a Timothy Dalton theme I loved can't remember which one it was though

Guess I'm in the minority in thinking Sam Smith could make a decent soulful Bond theme.

Agreed, he makes poppy top 40 songs but the dude has some pipes and with the right song he could kill it.

Haha that's a terrible idea, not a fan of his music but Sam Smith has a voice that fits a Bond theme and he's actually relevant.

I actually really liked the Quantum of Solace theme, it was far better than the movie. Smith could do a good job with this

World's worst kept secret.
If they can do something quite funky I think it could be a winner - I will always defend 'Die Another Day'...

He's super talented as a vocalist, just all his songs are really boring except when he works with Disclosure so this could be an interesting one.

Not an Adele fan, loved Skyfall
Sam Smith fan, might not love this one?

idk man, could be cool, could be a 2015 version of Madonna's dated song.

I just can't see disclosure being a good fit for a James Bond theme. And then there is the fact that Sam Smith is just terrible.

Garbage's "The World is Not Enough" will always be my favorite, with "Skyfall" being a close second.

I would have taken Lorde or Lana Del Rey over Sam Smith any day. I'm kind of disappointed.

Wow Lana del Ray would have been even worse.

Just get Adele to do it again fuck it.

I wonder if he still has money on his mind because remember that time he thought making a song that repeats it 500000 times would be a great idea?

we need to keep Lana Del Ray well away from a microphone.

"I actually really liked the Quantum of Solace theme, it was far better than the movie."

That's not hard though, that film was utter trash.

I might be in the minority, but the trailer for the new Bond film looked pretty uninspiring.


but really i think we all know Duran Duran's performance of "A View to a Kill" is the best Bond tune in existence [4]

-mate, fucking Grace Jones is in that film. Pure 80s.
