This is the diference between Arnold (or some other composer) and Zimmer. Zimmer is not so much a composer but a public relations. Zimmer sells so well himself that producers or directors always counts with him in the musical decisions.
And this is a fact? I mean, maybe the producers of the new Bond film didn't even ask Arnold to write a new song. Or maybe Arnold didn't WANT to write a new song. Who knows. But don't assume that Arnold isn't a collaborative composer.

Indeed but i think we can all agree - other than that, on the fact that Zimmer is probably the highest-rated pr machine in Hollywood nowadays, he's level of "professional coolness" amidst the people he works with (non-composers that is) is probably higher than anyone else at the moment.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

I just listened to the clip. It sounded Bondish, so I approve, but her voice is SO ANNOYING. -

You can listen to the full thing here:

Go forward to 55 minutes. Why does the opening riff sound EXACTLY the same as Casino Royale?!
I think rather than sounding Bondish, it's just ripping off everything we've heard before. -

Correct! Mad Donna is the bench mark for bad Bond songs.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

I kinda like the new Bond song (not that this is such a big issue to me, anyway....I don't have the "holy" relationship to the Bond oeuvre as most of you, so this is really just a.....well, song). It's funky and it has plenty of Bond-isms - the "dramatic" harmonies, the brass outbursts. Could benefit from some "breathing space" here and there, but overall I think this is a fine song that will hopefully set the right mood for the film.I am extremely serious. -

Yes but the problem is they are (all) ripped from previous songs. Even if not all of them are, it sounds too much like a spoof Bond song than a proper one. -

Really? I think it's totally fresh. I've never heard a Bond song before that utilizes hints of hip hop, r&b, alternative rock and funk. And mixes it all with the classic minor-mode, "drama" harmonies and the brass outbursts. It certainly doesn't sound like a SPOOF. For that, it needs to stick closer to the Barry template and exaggerate the features of that.I am extremely serious. -
