You can't really judge a Bond song in isolation, you can only really assess whether it works when viewing it in the cinema with the accompanying visuals.

Can't imagine Radiohead's version set to a procession of naked lady silhouettes.

You don't need to imagine...works quite well I think!

It does help that Skyfall's titles are a series high point, while the oily octopus of Spectre's....aren't.

Aye, Skyfall nailed both song and visuals.

Just a shame the film was bobins.

That does work.  Presumably it's been reedited a bit? Most of those cuts line up with the music exactly.  Good job, whoever did that.

I take it back.

Completely off topic now, but later on in the year I'm gonna be spending a couple of nights in the same hotel in Mexico City where Bond goes up in the elevator in the long tracking shot at the start of Spectre.

One of the better bits of what is, admittedly, a pretty poor movie.

Nah Spectre was an ace movie, y'all wrong. /discussion.

[arcade fireman]

Can't believe I needed to dig this from page 3!

Anyway, some guy has managed to track down the roads pictured in the OKC cover. This is amazingly nerdy stuff

I don't feel so dorky for making so many lists now

Someone on eBay has been selling all the old merchandise and it's so much better then what we get today 

My favourite is the ok computer shirt

Always loved the HTTT t-shirt with the full HTTT cover on it. Been tempted to buy a replica I've seen knocking about but... eh, always put off buying that kind of stuff over the official ones. Can't say any of their recent merch has really caught my eye though - their older classic stuff is much better.

This opinion is wrong!

If anyone fancies lengthy drunken discussion about Bond music, have a go on this podcast by my mates:

I thought the acts working on a Bond theme had to work to a brief, so in theory they would all match up with the finished segment. I'm also fairly certain the opening bars are the same as the awful Sam Smith track that eventually opened the film, so they're given the start, and an idea of the visuals, and told to go from there.

Incidentally Spectre is the Radiohead song that finally got me into them. Having spent years thinking they were pretentious and 90's nostalgia, last year with 'A Moon Shaped Pool' I finally realised I was wrong. When my friends told me to listen to 'OK Computer' they should have aimed me towards 'The Bends.' Now I'm desperately playing catch up ahead of 23rd June, but also loving discovering songs like "Fake Plastic Trees" "My Iron Lung" "Bodysnatchers" and "Lotus Flower."

Interesting. I'm going to have to watch this side by side with the original now.

My ticket for Dublin came today! Will be my first time seeing them, the excitement is real.

[Stokesy10]

Exactly 6 weeks from now, I'm very likely to be in bits. And gutted it's all over, after years of build up!

Just imagine thinking the Sam Smith was more fitting than this.

I doubt it being better was ever a factor. Make more money though? Definitely.

[CaledonianGonzo]

The orchestral hook on the Smith song is more immediate and more classically Bondian - while the falsetto used on both tracks isn't especially.  Neither is a classic.

[Bovla]

Shameless bump of this thread because it's getting lost in all the big secret and secret resale palava...also just found this and thought I would share

 

 

[leej7]

cheeky bump to the thread with a setlist I made up in the spare minutes I had today, maybe too much wishful thinking but you know whats wrong with that!

Certainly starts with a bang!

Not sure what the album mix is going to be but would like a little more even. Eg, How to Disappear Completely, Weird Fishes, Nude and Pyramid Song to feature somewhere. 

Only went with the heavy weighting of OKC with this new anniversary malarkey going on, Weird Fishes is certainly the biggest omission

Radiohead are not going to play 4 songs from The Bends in 2017.
