Rage Against The Christmas Machine?

RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FOR CHRISTMAS NO.1 | Facebook

 

Never going to happen but there's a decent campaign to get RATM's Killing In the Name Of to Christmas number 1 against the inevitable X-Factor shite.

 

I particularly like the campaign imagery:

 

 

[Redder Lurtz]

As you say, it'll never happen but this is about as anti-establishment as I get these days so I've joined.

[rargh]

I remember when it first got into the charts in 1993 and Bruno Brookes played the album version by mistake. It was funny as fuck...you, I won't do what ya tell me!

I remember that, on the chart show on a sunday afto. It was fucking brilliant. Didn't he sod off outside for a fag or something and just leave it playing?

He sure did!

You justify those that died by wearing the badge, they're the chosen whites

Motherfucker!

Uggh!

[TheBitch]

I'm buying, I know its futile but at least I can sleep safe in the knowledge that I tried.

[Strontium]

This is the same Rage Against The Machine who are signed to Sony/Epic, right? The same Sony who will sign the eventual X-Factor winner...

 

Fight the power guys!

Uggh!

 

Saw them live at Glastonbury in 1994 and they were fucking great. Like a mixed race Public Enemy with guitars: angry, funky and political in equal measure. That song is ace.

[rondeco]

I'm gonna buy it simply cos it's an ace tune!

[Ginny]

I always remember feeling a bit sick when i seen Bulls on Parade being advertised as a Guitar Hero song on tele with some douche bag playing it.

Better for the public to actually pick the christmas number one rather than Cowell...oh hang on..

[B3n]

This really is quite sad.

 

Good luck though.

[Paulie Dangerously]

As long as X factor exists there will never be any other number one. Thanks to Cowell for uniting the spazzes of the nation

[Acid]

Im gonna buy it. Why not eh?

[Tyler Durden]

Only really got into Rage last year, they are awsome and im gutted I will never see them live.

[airbags]

Some people have little to be at.

 

Who gives a sheit what the Christmas No. 1 is anyhow? Nobody forces anyone to buy the sheit X Factor song every year but if it's what the masses like, so be it. It doesn't effect me.

[Stouffer]

Only love can break your heart.

[meijer 09]

im signing up.

[RJ Fan club]

Only love can break your heart.

 

Repped for reminding me of Sarah Cracknell cos of Saint Etienne.

Yeah, the same RATM that use their fame to publicise, and their money to support, people who are actually fighting the power.

 

If a few people google Oaxaca because of them then I'd say they're winning the fight. Communicating to millions of people across the globe might not be much but I think it will help Zach in his hopes to make some real impact when he gets elected on to the local council. Bin schedules are the end game I reckon.

 

I doubt I'll buy it though; it'd give people them the impression I cared about the singles chart.

[Stu Monty]

Actually, I think I've gone and barked at SD for a different point to the one he was actually making; which was dumb. Looking again he's not saying "fight the power guys" to RATM but to people who will give Sony a few quid for buying the song, which is a pretty fair point.

I think its a stupid point.

[Stu Monty]

Not really. The point is that your money still goes to the record company whichever of them goes to number one.

 

The idea of voting with your wallet for RATM over the trash that X-factor will churn out because of the comparative quality, and it beng nothing to do with money, is also a fair point.
