rage against the machine for christmas no1!

Joe Dolce should have been chosen.

It's been tried many many times. Wasn't that Nipolozi (sp) Tractor song a protest against something?

[ampersand]

Rage have nothing to do with this campaign, their song was chosen, and I think its a great gesture they are donating some royalties.

[The Nal]

On this point alone I agree with Cowell. It is mean spirited to try to steal this kids thunder. I'd much prefer if someone took on Westlife or summat.

[Tugger2k]

Couldn’t care less if the kid ends up rooting through bins at the back of McDonalds to be honest. Im also happy with the fact that I didn’t know hes a Geordie or indeed what he looks like.

And it is about music. Theres only so much promotion to go round, this little bollox is signed to Sony now, casting a shadow over all the hard working touring bands that they have, a lot who we don’t know. They are being suppressed by Cowell and his greed.

[strudders]

There sorted every bodies happy.......

[Lithium05]

tom morello makes me lol now. where did the proceeds from his guitar hero character go to?

love rage, but not for the message.

Yeah, they should be donating everything they earn to charity and living on the street

[Cardboard Box City]

[Kowalski]

or how bout less extreme than that but still practice what they preach. remember sleep now in the fire video? yet they come back on a tour, with no plans to be a writing band, just for the money.

[rabid]

Tis not his fault he's on a show that übergeeks like you and I despise Ollan.

[The Nal]

Ohhhhh, you would if Look North was your local BBC news programme.

[ampersand]

[ampersand]

Same with Blur then, who gave my best festival moment ever.

exactly the same, yes. but blur aren't giving out the same messages.

McCartney has done the same?

Figures:

Rage are at #1 today with 175,163 sales, Joe at #2 with 109,726 sales

Considering 750,000 signed to facebook - they're pretty slack, considering 20,000,000 watched X Factor - they're even slacker.

[Lithium05]

yes, mccartney has. but again, he doesn't do what rage do

[5co77ie]

Perhaps I'm being naive, but surely such things can be perceived as a method of getting their message to more people. Sure they're making money from it, but if they believe in what they're "preaching" they'll want the widest audience possible and signing to a big label and participating in the GH games are necessary evils to achieve their goals.

but yeah, not much when you compare the viewing figures. just proves that it is an entertainment show, not a music show.
