Vic Flick, the famed British session guitarist who picked out the twangy riff for the James Bond theme song introduced to moviegoers on Dr. No, has died. He was 87.
His death on Thursday after a battle with Alzheimer’s disease was announced by his family on Facebook.
Flick also played on No. 1 hits for Peter and Gordon (“A World Without Love”) and Petula Clark (“Downtown”); performed on Tom Jones’ “It’s Not Unusual” and “Ringo’s Theme” (This Boy) for A Hard Day’s Night (1964); and collaborated with the likes of Jimmy Page, George Martin, Herman’s Hermits, Cliff Richard, Eric Clapton, Dusty Springfield and Engelbert Humperdinck.

Like the fools who think killing animals is wrong because "well duh. you dont have to kill animals, they have meat at the supermarket".
There was an episode of Pawn Stars where Vic came in to sell guitar he used to play the Bond theme.
The Bond movies had some good music.
