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

[AgnesIO]

Once you have the CD you are not going to go and buy it again the next week

They have more than one song.

What, people bought a song because they despise themselves? Make sense please :S. And you seemed to suggest I didn't rate the Beatles highly, is all.

What I am saying is that it is the public who moaned about X Factor winning every year, yet it is the dumb public who buy the X Factor song that made it Number 1 every year.

Well obviously it is two different sectors of the public. And I would hardly call the ones who purchased a song to make a point "dumb" over those who waste countless amounts of money voting on these shows and then go and buy the winner's single regardless of who or what it is because it's popular at the time. And NO this isn't the same as what people did with RATM. They consciously decided to purchase it to work together and make a point, meanwhile they have carried on with their normal lives and normal, personal song-purchasing habits.

They have more than one song.

what you are clearly misinformed about is how bands release their music. In pop music they release an album, then pretty much every song on it because the dumb public will get all the singles as well, hello lots of money. In the 'alternative' scene, where RATM could fit into, the fans are more intelligent, and are only going to buy an album once, maybe twice if they want a vinyl copy too. The bands will only release like one song that'll promote the album and that's it

RATM are ******* terrible, one of the most overrated bands in the world. I completely agree with tom, this won't happen. There will never be enough people to beat the millions of people that'll buy the x factor single, and let's face it, only sad ***** will buy multiple copies of the same single

actually there's nothing worse than people who accuse others of something they haven't done. We're not calling them idiots because of their dire music taste, they're idiots for thinking this will ever work

Yehh you are one hell of a ******* hypocrite.

Yehh you are one hell of a ******* hypocrite.

wow you caught me out, fair play to you, no point trying to defend myself. now go out and do something constructive like getting a decent music taste and we can be besties for life
