Muse: 'would say yes' to Bond song

Rock band Muse have said they would be keen to record the theme for the next James Bond film.
"It's something we'd probably say yes to, or at least give it a good go," drummer Dom Howard told the BBC.
The new Muse album The Resistance, released this week, sees the band blending their stadium rock sound with strings and opera.
"Certainly some of our music fits with the James Bond vibe and I think it could work," Howard said.

Daniel Craig is due to return as James Bond in the 23rd adventure of the series, although no production date has been announced.
The last James Bond theme Another Way to Die was recorded by Jack White and Alicia Keys.
Duran Duran were the last British band to record the Bond theme, more than 20 years ago, for 1985's A View To a Kill.
"The last few have been pretty good," said Howard. "But I think we could do a good job.

"United States of Eurasia (from new album) could have worked but it's probably a bit late for that now."
He added that bassist Chris Wolstenholme was a big Bond fan.
Orchestral symphony
The Resistance is the follow up to 2006's Black Holes And Revelations and features a three part orchestral symphony called Exogenesis.
So would Muse consider writing a full film score?
"Matt 9Bellamy) did the end credits for a film called The International," said Howard. "It's not something we've done as a band, but we sometimes get asked for that kind of thing.
"It's a bit weird in the Hollywood world, because you spend a lot time being told what to do and that's a bit of a pain because we like to do what we want.
"So, I think if you can find a director you can acually relate to, and it's a great film, and you know you can work well together, then it could be a possibility."

The Resistance reviewed Muse's

On The Resistance, Muse's fifth album, the band go big. A shocker, right? Not really. Since they first appeared as vague Radioheaders with 1999's Showbiz, it was appartend that grand schemes and notions of musical grandeur danced in the band's collective head.
Now those dreams are made manifest: Muse have grown up, grown into their appetite, and they create the sort of bombast that makes 'bombast' a much less deformed word.
Early into the recording, maverick guitarist and musical redical Matthew Bellamy hinted that The Resistance would be "orchestral" and "classical," sending shivers down many a spine. Would Muse lapse into a cringe inducing, ego inflated ELP/Rick Wakeman prog odyssey?
The good news is, not difficultly. Sure, Muse want to impress us, but more than that, and more significantly, they want us to feel. And because that impulse is so genuine driven most critically by frontman Bellamy, who writes the bulk of the material we do feel. In this day and age, that's saying something.
Bellamy has all of his authority lined up like ducks in a row here. There's Berlioz and Lizst, and a whiff of Rachmaninoff for nice measure. Chopin he virtually name checks, having included a passage from Nocturne In E-Flat Major in the shameless Queen tribute United States Of Eurasia. The same goes for opera I Belong To You features parts from Samson And Delilah.
But we also catch some Debussy and Gershwin (intentional?), along with an overall framework that recalls the epic theatre of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill.
OK, you're scared, right? Don't be. On first listen, The Resistance is a masterwork that offers plenty of aural thrills. Bellamy's Manson guitars are locked on 'stun' throughout, although we do have a artifice, and it's a major one: He's a bit of a tease.
Every time Bellamy launches into a mind melting or soul magnifying solo, he pulls back, as if to say, "That's enough." This can be annoying since too much of a good thing is a great thing, and not enough of a good thing is a cheat.
That's the problem when you want to cram so much music into each song something's gotta give. Bellamy's a modern day rock god shred king, right up there with the best of them. On The Resistance, when he should let us bathe and luxuriate in his six string triumphs, he gives us brief, refreshing showers.
