Not saying I *want* Tom Hardy, just guessing the predictable way they will go

if metallica does the bond theme then john woo better direct because 90’s mission impossible is what we all clearly want here

Siegbran’s list is especially good bcz there are two guesses for #1.

Haha yeah, but their Goldfinger remix is pretty unremarkable.

The Propheads OHMSS version is one of the very few Bond tunes that capture the kinetic energy of the movies - I like dramatic orchestral ballads as much as the next guy/gal but in the end these movies are 90% hyperactive chase scenes.

I honestly thought History Repeating was the most likely reference!

ah yeah but that was never a Bond tune. It's also funny to read about the rejected bond themes:
Ace Of Base were supposed to do Goldeneye, which was reworked into this - surprisingly it's not cod-reggae europop:

Pet Shop Boys reworked their rejected The Living Daylights song into this:

Wasn't there an Alice Cooper version of the Man With the Golden Gun as well?

Yeah, mentioned upthread, but I guess the link is gone.

Also, the Blondie one is also a dead link:

And here's Natacha Atlas & David Arnold doing a very serviceable You Only Live Twice:

ah yeah but that was never a Bond tune.Yah but you listed several not-Bond-themes from the reject pile. (Pulp didn’t even have to change their rejected theme’s name to disguise it, as the movie helpfully changed their own instead)
