RATM - X Factor

[rockinthecasbah]

And you could "amusingly" change the words to make bellend jokes. That song truly did have everything.

So it's settled, that or Rock and Roll Christmas for christmas number one.

The rage factor had nothing to do with music in my opinion, all i think it showed was how powerful the social side of the internet has become. You've got to remember whereas many people liked Killing in the name Of, a lot of people didn't and just bought it to make sure the x factor didn't reach the top of the charts at christmas. So more people probably liked the x factor song more than Rage's in a wierd way of looking at it! X factor can have there number ones at christmas now, we have proven that together we can take it away from them, doing it again will either damage the RATM legacy or it will fail, leaving Simon in a far better position than he was before, lets not forget, the X factor still got it's number one, the last one of 2009

Downloading the x factor single illegaly interests me, as long as money was donated to charity that would be proceeded from the single (if any) was done i would be okay with that; one way x factor gets to top the chart is by bringing charity into it which makes me feel guilty for downloading the single yet i never buy it.... Also a hard copy of the single is so easy to obtain ands is such an easy stocking filler that campaign would not pick up enough protesters to work.

Why we even talking about that awful show on Reading forums..

Get it out of here, it makes my eyes/ears bleed.

The Darkness' track for Number One.... How about that. It was a cracking good christmas song, and it should have been number one. Do it.

2003 was a cracking year, I really liked the cover of Mad World from Donnie Darko but it shouldn't have been Christams Number one when you had The Darkness and Bo Selecta with Christmas songs.

[Role Model]

Jesus was Bo Selecta's christmas song really that long ago?! The good old days.

IMDB

Generally quite reliable site

Seems a bit vague but doesn't seem unlikely

[Dan R]

Like hell IMDB is, it's basically Wiki but you have to pay before you litter it up, they have another film called Rage Against The Machne In London too.

So far they've put down Tom Hardy playing Killer Croc, Harvey Bullock & The Riddler for the Batman flick.

[Dave The Hedgehog]

Ah fair do's, I've only used the IMDB pro before and that was generally reliable

[Dan R]

No. The IMDb is... strange. The website itself is fairly ok if you're just looking for some information on films (I prefer the website Rotten Tomatoes for this) or want to find out how much weight Christian Bale lost for The Machinist, but when you venture onto the forums you're met with some of the most anti-social, psychopathic lowlifes you're ever likely to come across online. It's also a place where people are free to submit their own tidbits of information and as such it generally isn't very reliable since the website admin doesn't really verify any of it.
