The Video Matches The Song
Jack White and Alicia Keys' video for the new Bond theme called "Another Way To Die" is just as shitty as the song. I like Jack and Alicia separately, but put them together and all you get is ear and eye barf. This mess makes me long for Shirley Bassey. Shit, it makes me even miss Sheryl Crow's bond song. No, I didn't mean that.
Jack and Alicia could have covered up the fact that their song sucks with a hot video, but they failed at that shit as well. The beginning part looks like they're inside of an Etch-A-Sketch.
Damn that Wino! If only she wasn't a complete gutter wreck. Her crackie croak would have been a million times better than this shit.

awesome!
Yay, Jack White doesn't have the ridiculous doo-wop hairdo he had when Consolers of the Lonely came out!
He looks amaaazing, mm.
I agree with mostly everyone about this being a whole lot of fuckery -- Jack should've done it by himself, Alicia Keys' obnoxious voice drowns him out, which is a fucking sin!

I likrd it. zzzzzzzzzzo coursr I am sitting here on 2vicodines and one and a ha;l ambien waiting for the suckers to put me to sleee!p I thoought the sing was way cool.
...you do know that the shit that killed Heath Ledger right? and hopefully you will wake up this morning and see it's not really good for you to drug and internet. stay safe!

Let's bring back Bassey. Bassey, Bassey, Bassey, diamonds are forever, are foreva...
The music is great. The voices? Umm, not so much. If they just had Jack White compose and play the music and let Tom Jones or Eartha Kitt or Shirley Bassey sing, it would have been great. Or just play the music and don't add any vocals at all; that would have been something different and actually, interesting since I'm into instrumentals myself. But White can't sing and Alicia doesn't have the brassy voice needed to pull it off.
Personally, I did like the Chris Cornell opening theme in "Casino Royale." Otherwise, there hasn't been a decent opener since "Goldfinger."

I'm taking over!
parts of this song are dope, but as a whole it is wackery! it should have been jack white, with three black female soul singers rippin in the background.
Jack by himself would have been so MUCH better. They have similar tones of voice that's why it sounded almost whiny...dammit, Amy Wino would have done a MUCH better job even if she was high off her ass!
Your face!
Instrumental...it would have worked better.
Shirley Bassey is the ultimate shyt!!
I love Gladys Knight's and Carly Simon's Bond songs too. Even Paul McCartney's...
Crackie might have made a good song but she's too close to death to sing about ways to die....
***********************************************
Oh you mad cuz I'm stylin on you!
Jack White officially has jumped the shark. And I never have liked Alicia Keys.
Oh no no no. That was some piss poor sorry excuse for a Bond theme. For any occasion actually. Anything Winehouse did/would have done would have kicked this songs ass and then headbutted it.

Alicia Keys??
More like Alicia "off" Keys...ooo...ZING!
(I know, I'm horrible).
I think that song would have been so much better if it was just Jack. However, neither of them have any business doing a Bond song. That was just painful.
And while Shirley Bassey is the Queen...am I the only one who liked Modonna's theme song for "Die Another Day"?
Duran Duran is also one of my faves. And while I think Chris Cornell embodies all things sexy, I did not care for his Bond song either.
The video WOULD have been hot if alicia knew how to be sexy. She looked like a little tom boy playing around in mommy's heels and eyelashes. She's just too fucking boyish for shit like this.

that song was horrrrible! It's sad because I like both artists! Ugggghhhhh. It should have been just Ms. Keys
It was so compterized! It didn't even sound like a Bond theme.
What happened to Wino's threat that she would release hers? Come on Wino Bring It!
Even her crackie voice would have sounded better than this. Wino was made for a Bond theme. She has the perfect 50's soul voice.
Am I the only one that liked the Sheryl one? I never knew she could sing like that. It was a nice surprise when I heard it.
I LOVE IT! That was all Jack. I'm surprised, I didn't actually hate Keyes' involvment in this song.
Great to see my Jackie again. :)

Is he actually singing? All I hear is her. That was pretty bad; doesn't have the Bond 'feel' to it. However, there's been WORSE music posted on this site (like yesterday)...

Love me or hate me
It's still an obsession
Love me or hate me
That is the question
And if you love me then 'thank you'
And if you hate me then 'f--- you'
Um...I kinda liked it...I agree with the person that said it would've been better w/o Alicia - it's not her style of song. I love Jack White, he can do no wrong in my eyes, and I do like Alicia Keys too, but it's definitely not on my top 100 song list.
I like Jack White, but that was pretty awful. The guitar/drum riff reminded me of "The Beautiful People" by Marilyn Manson:

"Mickey probably told Miley, 'Billy Ray ain't your father. I AM! I'm your daddy! I say when this game is over! Now go shake that ass and bring home the cheese!'" -MK, 22-09-08
EWWW! Awful overproduced noise. What formula were they trying to follow, it is just terrible the worst ever, makes me not want to see the film.
This is for a Bond movie, and therefore should feature Daniel Craig ALL THE TIME, preferrably naked. That's what would make the video AWESOME.
But that shit w/ Alicia Keys & Jack White sounded like balls. And scratchy ones at that.

I'm with you MK... my husband and I watched the video last night and I had to tell him to turn it off, it was so bad - the song and the video. It's definitely elevated Cheryl Crow's craptastic attempt at sounding bond-like - the former worst Bond song ever.
OMG that was horrible. And LMAO, it does look like an etch a sketch. LOLOLOLOL

You need some strings, an arrangement that builds suspense and incorporates the Bong theme (sorry, my heads elsewhere) and a big bombastic voice. Shirley Bassey, Tom Jones (yes) come to mind. All the other theme songs for Bond were pure crap (though I did like Garbage).
There is no question in my mind that the Crackie of Camden would have done a much better job.
This song sucks as does the director for making it look like a high school video.
They are unsuited to be singing together.
Chris Cornell did an excellent song for Casino Royale. I loved that song and still do. He is not only gorgeous but he is talented.
Alicia Keys and Jack White have talent too. They just have no business singing this song together, or doing it as a theme song for the next Bond movie. They should stick to what they do best whatever that may be.
What a really strange and unlikely duo. Jack White is ah-mazing to me. He can be a bit of an asshole at times but rightfully so.

Are you fucking kidding me? This is a GOOD Bond song. It's dramatic and cheesy - aka the Bond franchise through and through. It even has some dramatic/cheesy riffs they can put into the film itself. Maybe the people who take Bond seriously think that it's "not cool enough", but the Bond franchise has never been cool! Bond is super cheese + product placements. And that's about it. More disconcerting is the fact that Jack White has morphed into Shane from the L word.
yawn.
I dont think even the crackie magic of Wino could have saved this lackluster tune.
Jack White now officially belongs on the

website.
funny there really hasnt been a BIG Bond Theme in years, even Madge's "Die Another Day" was in and out of there so fast .
Amy Wino still swears she is gonna release her version on the same day that this one is released and that she will have the hit with it.
We shall see.....
"It costs alotta money to look this cheap"-Dolly Parton
Wino really did dick herself out of a good thing. She could've made that theme kick some ass.
Jack White is sexy but I miss the old Jack White... back when he was just this cool dude with a deep love for candy cane colors and a sense of soul and blues that perfectly embodied the city of Detroit and what it needed artistically at the time.
As a Detroiter, I miss this Jack. I miss seeing him at random dive bars and occasionally high fiving him (true story). He was really nice, but according to some people I know that used to be friends with him, he has changed and gone all "Hollywood."
So sad, he really embodied the feeling of the city and he loved Detroit. Now he turned his back on us and he's all about Nashville or whatever. It just angers me. I know he wrote a great article for the Free Press about how much he loves this city, but I don't buy it. Whatevs Jack.
WHAT. THE. FUCK?
I bet when the movie comes out and you can see the ending credits you will read that Alan Smithee has written that shitty song.
Submitted by Otter Pop: "I couldn't get past the second set of lyrics. I think Duran Duran did it best!"
Almost agree. I think Shirley Bassey, then Duran Duran, then Wings.
This wasn't very good. Alicia Keys was the poison in the brew. And they tried too hard to make it all badass and complicated. Most people just want a good hook and some atmosphere.
I heard that after Amy couldnt pull it together for them, they put names in a hat and pulled out these two. Jack White was an AWESOME choice...but Alicia...NO NO and NO! mmmmm Jack.

I liked the song..I just don't like their voices together.
-----------------------------------
thats exactly what i thought! when they sang together it sounded like sandpaper and cats in heat.
-=meow hiss purr=-
I couldn't get past the second set of lyrics. I think Duran Duran did it best!
I liked the song..I just don't like their voices together...it would have been sooo much better with only Jack singing it. Alica's voice doesn't suit the style of the song at all. The video couldhave been salvaged by showing Daniel walking about in super tight knickers. Now THAT is a hit video.

Just a bunch of dissonance.
I dunno which is worse, the song or Jack White trying too hard to be Robert Smith.

I think it´s an ok song. It might have worked better with another female singer though, Alicia´s voice doesn´t really fit with Jack´s.
I agree that it´s too bad that Wino is a total mess, she has the perfect voice for a Bond song. Not that I really care since I find Bond movies absolute shit, apart from Daniel sexy Craig of course.
I dug it at first, but once they started warblin on the mic I was done

I think the song is good and Jack White rocks...but Alicia Keys shouldn't be in it...her voice doesn't work for the song at all. Just her piano playing is good.

Actually, I quite like the song. Both are very talented and I think they did a good job. It works perfectly for a Bond movie.
This is terrible.
def not up to my bond theme standards. the part where they sing in unison (I guess it's the chorus?) just sounds like noise to me. wino would've knocked it out of the park.
Did did they even try?!
