001: Muse Supremacy
I dont know if anyone connected to the Bond films reads WhatCulture. Maybe someone is reading this who is connected to someone who knows someone who works on the Bond films. All I have is one request.
Please let Muse sing the next Bond song! Muse has produced several songs that had elements of Bond-ness in them. Ive been saying they should produce a Bond Song for years. And then
Supremacy from their latest album
The 2nd Law came out and suddenly I found myself listening to one of the best Bond songs ever made. Except it wasnt a Bond song. Dont get me wrong, I though Adeles
Skyfall was a brilliant song. A great vocal that absolutely worked with the tone of the film. I also think
Supremacy wouldnt have worked for the film either. For the action of
Quantum of Solace, it would have been spot on. In fact, play
Supremacy over the
Quantum of Solace title sequence and it works. Dont believe me? Someone already did it. Check this out.
Its not just the Bond homage in the opening and closing moments of the song. An epic vocal from Matt Bellamy. The quieter moments before it launches into a thundering guitar riff. Its a song made for a Bond title sequence. Muse
HAS to do a Bond Song. The trouble is, how are they going to top
Supremacy? What are your thoughts? Are these the artists your choice for the next Bond song? Or do you have someone else in mind? Let me know!
