Rage Against the Machine - Killing In The Name for Christmas No. 1

[kk.]

I can't believe they think that all the people buying their song actually like the song. It'll be interesting to see how many turn up to the gig.

It's been a sunny day which according to reports is a good sign or joe. I wonder what position RATM will get next sunday lol

OK well that's the worst post I've seen for a long time.
My two responses to that are:
a) obviously I mean this time around as they were suddenly in the charts immediately after X-Factor appearances.
b) RATM have been in the charts without the help of talent shows as well :S (like now in fact lmao).

OK well that's the worst post I've seen for a long time.
My two responses to that are:
a) obviously any musician wanting to do well has to promote themselves before and during a release, and playing the song is quite a good way to do that.
b) remind me again why people are buying the RATM song? I was somewhat under the impression it was to do with a certain talent show, and that without it no-one would be buying that song at this time.

I also love how Killing in the Name Of is meant to be oh-so-rebellious and yet has sparked the single biggest poserfest I've ever seen. Quote from Morello - "I think people are fed up of being spoon-fed some sugary ballad that sits on top of the charts. It's a little dose of anarchy."
Oh the anarchy! Capitalism quivers with fear over... oh wait, massive commercial purchases through a major brand in mainstream music.

I understand what theyre doing and totally agree. X Factor winners almost always have the Christmas #'1, but this song is going way too far. Atleast have something a *little* Christmasy

Finally figured out how to use my debit card. Bought a copy there.

Hate X-factor.

[Technologic]

Pretty moronic, as it'll never happen or come close. And they could have chosen a better band.

Oh how less true words could be spoken.

[hah]

Joe added: "I will be really disappointed if it doesn't go to No1 after all the effort I've put in to this and winning the show."

he has got right cocky since winning
