CHRIS CORNELL BONDS TO VIDEO ROYALE

Chris Cornell has penned the song for the movie Casino Royale, the latest in the James Bond series of films. Cornell, who has appeared in the movie Singles and was the frontman for Soundgarden and now Audioslave, says that working on the video was a unique opportunity.

Cornell compared working on a movie video as opposed to a traditional music video, and he hopes fans like the clip for “You Know My Name.

“My gut feeling is that it’ll be really great. Also I’ve never done a video with film footage in it. I have no idea what that’s going to be like. Usually you’re used to seeing your bass player and your drummer in your video with you and not James Bond and movie. So, we’ll see. I feel because the movie is great, it’ll be a great thing. I have no reason to think that it’ll be anything but great.”

For those who want an inside look into what Cornell went through in the studio, we have it.

“You Know My Name,” was co-written by David Arnold, who penned the rest of the soundtrack for the film. Meanwhile, the Audioslave song “Revelations” is slowly moving up the Alternative Rock and Active Rock charts. The band is not touring in support of the album for the rest of the year, but you can find dates by The Nightwatchman, which is the political alter-ego of Audioslave guitarist Tom Morello.
