The first time I heard "You Know My Name" was on the radio. The guy that was on complained about it for 5 minutes after it had finished, saying that it was the worst Bond song ever - going on and on about how it was "un-Bond-like". At first, I was a little sceptical... I then saw the music video on Kerrang a few times after that and was gradually beginning to fall for it...
When I went to the cinema to finally see the movie, I was completely BLOWN AWAY by the opening sequence. The colourful 'card/poker-references' actually made the sequence exciting! Thought most of the excitement was mostly thanks to the music. Along came Chris Cornell... This song just blows you away. After seeing the movie, I just had to buy the record.
Since buying it about two weeks ago, I've practically had it on repeat non-stop. I seriously cannot get enough of this song. It puts such a vivid picture of the movie in your head... Completely brilliant. If you love Bond and/or Chris Cornell, you will have probably bought this already. If not, then buy it now! You won't regret it.

This is one of those Bond theme's that has you saying "DOESN'T SOUND LIKE A BOND THEME" Then you see it on the big screen and change your mind completly after it blows you away!
I love the film and now the song, they go well together.

If you've been underwhelmed by the wonky meanderings of recent Bond themes, this one should really float your boat. A red-blooded rendition of a cleverly crafted rock-inflected song by singer Chris Cornell (of Audioslave and Soundgarden fame) and movie-score composer David Arnold, it's the movie's first resounding statement of musical themes which Arnold then takes and develops orchestrally throughout the movie, gradually combining them with the old familiar 007 theme as Bond-the-man moves closer to Bond-the-icon. Add a cracking lyric which reflects the persona of Daniel Craig's Bond, and you couldn't get a better title sequence for this brilliant thriller. The best since Tom Jones's song for "Thunderball". Oh, and it's not included on the soundtrack album - so buy this single.

Wish the CD was longer
I bought this because I thought the title track was the best Bond song in a very long time. It is a wonderful song especially with the volume turned up. Read more

The best Bond song ever

Great Song, But Which Version Is on the Single?
This song grew on me fast. It fits very well with the grittier, more modern Bond. Best theme song since A View to a Kill, for certain. Read more
