rlTom Morello of RATM speaks out....rl

You've done your homework! But, even if RATM do make it to number one, the X-Factor single won't sell any less, Rage would've just sold more, as their audiences aren't really the same. I can't see people browsing iTunes, wanting the XF single and changing their mind! The XF single is still going to make the same money isn't it?

I agree Rugbychick.

The point of the campaign is to show the youth of today that the future of music [and culture in general ] is in their hands not Cowell and his cronies.I strongly feel that this protest could help kick start what is needed.

Reclaim the Christmas no 1 spot from corporate greed,download RATM Killing in the name.

The spirit of John Peel lives on !

The whole thing is a joke. i for one am not gonna buy ratm or x factor rubbish. number one simpley does not matter to me.. its about my own personal taste. Im not a sheep.

i feel sorry for cliff richard,cowell has sent him hurtling into long overdue retirement now he has boxed xmas off,nothing against ratm,i have seen them live albeit a good few years ago,this campaign would have had more credence if they would have chose a really cheesy crimbo number to pitt against the little smiler.
i'm not really d though because the last single i bought was years ago.

Who cares?????....Considering that the singles chart died the day that the 7 inch vinyl was done away with, I don't see the point in joining in with what is basically a media driven campaign, which is just as cynical as any X Factor puppet having a pointless 'number 1'.

The daft thing is that all this silly battle does is keep Cowell & his cronies in the limelight for longer than they should be....The only actual way to defeat Cowell would be to simply ignore him and his pointless artists, instead of keeping them in the headlines with more tedious nonsense.

Irrelevant. Does anyone really care ( and within that I include the billionaire Simon Cowell) ?

One thing that has struck me about this whole event is the arrogance of both SC and Cheryl Cole, calling it 'selfish' and 'mean', as if Joe is entitled to the number one simply for getting through a 12-week karaoke programme. What happened to artists working for years, writing music and hitting the pubs and clubs, to make it big? XF sums up what is very wrong with the music industry at the moment. We want the next big thing then drop then weeks later, there's no permanance in music. What happened to bands being together 10, 20, 30 years? You would never see a band like that form today.


That paragraph is the reason i despise X Factor...The show is just a money making machine now..
I'm not really a big fan of RATM but i'd honestly settle for anything other than X Factor monopolising the Crimbo Number 1

The way the music industry is now is nothing new; for the 50s and 60s it was all about 'tin pan alley' music writers and producers and their puppet artistes. Elvis Presley was a stooge for Colonel Tom Parker.

It took the stature of a band like The Beatles to change all this. It will happen again.

Kill commercial music off and download whichever overrated track you prefer for free (illegally of course). Win Win situation.

Cowell & his pet-puppet, Sheryl Cole, reek of double standards. They've spent the whole series harping on about the public being in charge of keeping terrible acts like Jedward in the X Factor competition. Yet when the public decide to buy a different song to 'Our Wayne's' cover version of a god-awful all-American pap song (co-written by Billy Ray-Cyrus apparantly), they claim bullying & selfishness as a motive.

My motive not to buy 'The Climb' is that it smells like it just got deposited out of a dogs bottom.

Sack it, despite being cynical about it's chances of actually being number one and regarding it as a waste of money as obviously I already own the album, I've just bitten the bullet and bought Killing In The Name from iTunes. You gotta be in it to win it and all that. I don't even know what the X Factor song is as I'm completely out the loop on popular music but I hate all that reality TV karaoke rubbish and there are few bands in this world I have more respect for than Rage Against The Machine who I've loved for years so it'd be brilliant if they win this.

the bad news is ratm are also on cowells label
