Since were talking 007 theme here what was your preferred version?
FRWL, TB, YOLT, DAF or MR
There all different in each outing but for me I like all but YOLT & DAF are my favs.
Similar to how Arnold used it in 'Blunt Instrument' in the CR soundtrack...I would like that. It's as if the bond theme is in the background with 'You Know My Name' being the primary theme. It comes in around 1:18
PLEASE NOTE: This is not meant to begin an Arnold bashing session, nor is it meant to begin a debate on Arnold's relevancy in the franchise.
:-B
I'd be for that.
What version of 007 theme do you like best? FRWL, TB, YOLT, DAF & MR.
Yes, that's it. Barry's estate hold the copyrights.
It was used during Little Nellie battle. Good version of the theme and played perfectly over the volcanic area.
One again J Barry at his best.
The copyright is part Owned by John Barry's estate and by Eon as well! Laurie Barry( Johns wife) would have no qualms in letting Eon (BB) use it again if the theme was wanted/needed!? As Laurie Barry and Barbara Broccoli are good friends and all...
Great theme by the great Man, but highly unlikely to be used again in the main film, maybe a new remix on the end credits... :-B
I'd be for that too. ending with a good remix.
Arnold has said for years he'd have loved to use it if he could... It now makes me wonder why he didn't if he thinks that much of it.
As David Arnold's Twitter account confirms, he says a lot!!!
And whats more, I would say that BB has been the reason the theme has never re-emerged!? We shall see, or hear..... :-B
...But why!? Its a classic theme now and always will be, it doesn't need to be funked up or played with!! Leave it where it is, in the past! :-B

The 'Diamonds Are Forever' expanded score CD from EMI (2003)
Ah @Murdock you have made me so happy! Been hunting everywhere for this, didn't think it would be titled as this though! :)
Yeah I know almost everything about Every James Bond soundtrack. I got them all. I don't think there's a single track I can't identify. :D
Haha I'm glad because I would never have guessed it be under this...must be an impressive CD to have because the DAF soundtrack is amazing.
I do love this version of the DAF theme...it's big and brassy and yet there is a touch of 70's Bond. I wish this would return :(
I listened to that record so much and I loved all of the music on it. The only piece that I didn't like was the 007 theme. I think that particular recording of it was rubbish (the orchestrated version from the Thunderball soundtrack).
I think it used brilliantly in FRWL and the other version used in Thunderball is awesome but the versions from DAF and MR are, in my opinion, naff.
I say leave it in the past. It will always sound 'old fashioned' and it belongs to a different era - classic 60's Bond.
Also, why would a current day Bond composer wish to use an old Barry piece of music?
