Rage against the Machine - Christmas number 1

[FortressICT]

Everyone buy the single - Killing in the name of and make it Christmas number 1.

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

Has it been re-released or is it only available via download ?

[Georgeios]

I've had the Album since about 1992, on tape, Vinal and CD.. good album all the same...

[FortressICT]

It was re released last night just as the x factor finished and at 3am this morning was top of the iTunes charts already. Havent checked it today yet.

[Georgeios]

what lable released it... i wouldnt be suprised if that jocky Simon didnt have a hand in it!!

[DALNEIGHCALEY]

It'd be a hoot to hear it on TOTP on Christmas day " **** you, I won't do what you tell me!

Mother****er! " , class lyrics .

I am confused??? I take it you were joking when you said Joe was your cousin?

You said -

My cousin Joe :P . I was there on Saturday night and met Cheryl. Best moment of my life so far :D :D :D .

It is true but me and Joe had a massive fall out.

Must have been bad for you to try and promote his competitor!

Will never work anyway!

I just downloaded it off iTunes. Cheeky cnuts have put it up to 99p!

I downloaded it from Amazon for 29p! As long as it beats the X-Factor though, i would pay up to a fiver

I think a download has to cost more than 40p to count in terms of chart position...

(I must get my act together and buy this tune too...)

[Oz647]

SIMON Cowell will be quids in even if X Factor winner Joe McElderry loses out to US Rockers Rage Against The Machiene for the Christmas No1 single.

People buying copies of the US band's song Killing In The Name as an anti Simon Cowell protest to stop Joe Mcelderry from getting to the top are in for a shock. Rage against bthe machine, led by Zac De La Rocha, are part of the same record company as the X Factor champ ? Sony Music.

So all the cash they are spending is still going to Cowell?s bosses, making Sony, and in turn Simon, even richer.

OK, dont buy anything, and ignore the charts, just playsome good stuff off U tube.

[Georgeios]

Oz i was wondering that too and I had a feeling he'd still be quids in...

I have been told it still count's though...then again....might not?

[tm4tj]

It's a god awful song I have to say, won't be getting my vote.

Just a lot of shouting and thumping around.

Just stick to Cliff Richard then :cold02:

Not for me either, I like plenty heavy rock and blues type music but this grunge effort is abysmal.

Check out Joe Bonamassa, lonesome road blues, just a tremendous guitarist, saw him in Edinburgh a couple of weeks ago, simply stunning and his acoustic tune was so quick, brilliant. He must have played twenty notes every second for about 10 minutes.

When I first joined the RATM Facebook group set up to try and get the Christmas # 1 there was definitely something said about the download having to be over 40p to count, but I've just had another quick look and now it says that the 29p Amazon download WILL count, so you're alright :cold02:

[Jay_7]

Nobody else seeing the monumental levels of irony in this campaign then?

I take it you don't really listen to the words of the song then?

Cool! Every little helps! :P

No, I tried but I couldn't hear them.

Is it a love song?..........I have just looked at the Lyrics, they are as shockingly bad as the tune.

I'm off to listen to Neil Young.
