    I got excited when I read this.

    But then I heard it and now my ears are dead.

    Haha. There was this big campaign put on by a radio station, which turned into a facebook group eventually, trying to get the producers to pick Muse as composers of the Quantum of Solace song. I could totally picture it too.

    I mean, just listen to "Man of Mystery" and tell me that something like that wouldn't work with a Bond film. Haha.

    I haven't heard this song yet, since I'm at work, but I hope it's as good as the Chris Cornell song for the last movie. I loved that song.

    It's a good song. One of the better themes from this series and it suits Daniel Craig's Bond pretty well, with the grimier element Jack White brings.

    Ugh their collaboration is awful! It's so bad...

    Jack White's solo version - http://cokezerobond.com isn't so bad though...I kinda like it for a Bond soundtrack...^_^

    @ Mark- Yeah, Muse would have been awesome:lol:.

    Although, Man of Mystery is a cover, I believe. Still, they could have written something great for a Muse theme.

    Anyway, I dont really like this song much as a bond theme. Its a pretty good song, but doesnt really fit with James Bond in my opinion.

    Doesn't beat "You Know My Name", in my opinion. ;) I think that solo version (with just Jack White) may've been alright.
