[Attilauk]

copied and pasted from facebook where at the time of posting the group had more than 158,000 members :thumb-up:

Fed up of Simon Cowell's latest karaoke act being Christmas No.1?
Me too... So who's up for a mass-purchase of the track 'KILLING IN THE NAME' from December 13th (DON'T BUY IT YET!) as a protest to the X-Factor monotony?

Ha ha, I'm in! Can you post a reminder nearer the time?

 

[shelaghfishface]

be worth a few £ to wipe that pearly white smile off his aggrogant face

 

[Ace Of Spades]

Stoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooop

 

[shelaghfishface]

oh Ace,wheres your christmas spirit

 

[simonas]

I had the album on in my car this wek I;ll buy it forf a laugh

 

[afireinside]

lol, I find this amusing. Music charts don't matter to me at all. If one of your favorite singers/ groups/ bands get's a number 1 spot, that's awesome, but it doesn't matter. Listen to what you like, and for all that is good in life, ignore the mainstream charts. Besides, I'm pretty sure anyone who listens to RATM already has the song "Killing in the Name".

 

[Ace Of Spades]

Yeah lets do it...

 

[shelaghfishface]

I take back what I said

, I truly hate the Xfactor and every contestant who has ever won. They are pathetic, especially Cheryl Cole, I will be buying this song just out of hate....

thats more like it!!

 

[Gill]

i have always liked RATM and have been listerning to the for years

 

[Truck]

I'll be buying it, but cheryl cole

I hate simon cowel, the only pleasure I have had out of anything of his are the pictures of him having his chest waxed.

 

[Attilauk]

Ha ha, I'm in! Can you post a reminder nearer the time?

i can, get buying now!

There is a HUGE downside to this though, and thats that Simon Cowell wont be too upset, as Rage Against The Machine are signed to Sony Records, which is part owned by Simon Cowell! So either way he will still be getting money!

But the good thing is, maybe it may make him think twice about the release date, as since this dam X-Factor crap has started, there hasnt been a proper Xmas tune at number 1!!!

he has ruined the days of proper tunes that make you laugh, and sing along to, all in the aid of some 2-bit nipper who brings out a couple of RE-RELEASED songs, then disappears from our radio's forever!

Whats happened to some of the winners? Like that big girl who done a tune or 2, then went back to endulging on maccy d's and burger kings, NEVER to be seen or heard of again

The only 2 winners I can think of that is still around is that Leona Lewis, and Will Young now and again....Even gareth Gates seems to of vanished!

actually Sony BMG bought out Cowells Syco records although he retains the rights to his own artists on there, he will get sweet fa from the rage track sales
