Audioslave singer thrilled to be part of movie history

When Audioslave vocalist Chris Cornell is heard singing the theme song for the new James Bond movie this November, he'll be joining a list of performers that includes legends like Tom Jones as well as questionable choices such as A-Ha. But he told us he's thrilled to be a part of movie music history: "Paul McCartney's in there, Tom Jones is in there, which I'm -- people might not know this, but I'm a huge Tom Jones fan. I think he's amazing singer. I had never heard his version of Thunderball until recently. I'm sure I did when I was a kid, but it was 1965 so I was one. But it's great, you know, it's great being part of something like that, historically."

Cornell's Bond theme, "You Know My Name," will appear in Casino Royale, which will introduce Daniel Craig as the sixth actor to play the British agent. Casino Royale opens on November 17th.

Audioslave's third album, Revelations, is due out on September 5th.

Cornell intends to hit the studio at the end of the summer to begin recording his second solo album.
