Rarely can a film penetrate the glamorous surface of rock legends. It Might Get Loud tells the personal stories, in their own words, of three generations of electric guitar virtuosos – The Edge (U2), Jimmy Page (Led Zeppelin), and Jack White (The White Stripes). It reveals how each developed his unique sound and style of playing favorite instruments, guitars both found and invented. Concentrating on the artist’s musical rebellion, traveling with him to influential locations, provoking rare discussion as to how and why he writes and plays, this film lets you witness intimate moments and hear new music from each artist. The movie revolves around a day when Jimmy Page, Jack White, and The Edge first met and sat down together to share their stories, teach and play.
There’s been a slight amount of backlash regarding the latest James Bond film, due out in November. Not only is its title, The Quantum of Solace, unappealing to the ear (and rather confusing), but the official Bond song has not lived up to expectations. Entitled Another Way to Die, it was written and performed by Jack White and Alicia Keys. Some fans aren’t quite happy with the results, and I can understand why. White and Keys don’t seem to mix well, and the duo seems like a deliberate marketing strategy to capitalise on both the rockers and the pop fans, but diluting the qualities of each, and pleasing few.
So, for your consdieration, here are two alternatives. Above is Adam Buxtun’s theme tune, concerning itself with Bond’s interest in just a quantum, and no more, of solace. Below is Joe Cornish’s response, which seems like an apt summary of the reinvented Bond. Adam and Joe used to present the amusing late night UK sketch show The Adam and Joe Show, and now host their own show for the UK’s BBC Radio 6, which is well worth checking out.
The complete theme song for Quantum of Solace. I can’t wait to see and hear “Another Way to Die” with the movie. Alica Keyes and Jack White are awesome!
In more Alicia Keys news, it has been announced that she and Jack White of The White Stripes will sing the theme song for the next James Bond movie Quantum of Solace. It will be the first duet theme song in the twenty-two film series.
Titled "Another Way to Die", the song has been penned by White who also plays drums on the track. The soundtrack will be released October 28, with the film opening in theaters November 7.
Amy Winehouse and Leona Lewis were previously rumored to be the singers for the song.
