Ryan Byrne Australian Artist

[ZachValkyrie]

Next Xmas we need to go even farther...

How about Slayer?

[furiousfahreza]

@ZachValkyrie lol slayer for christmas song that would be great...

[magicalbilly]

would have been more fitting to make "take the power back" christmas number one IMO

[KillForChocolate90s]

Vote this to make it the crimbo #1 next time, itsa far more deservive song, and has a message

.......................  /watch?v=ybU1nDARwyI&feature=P­layList&p=E29E036A713619C4&pla­ynext=1&playnext_from=PL&index­=13

[KillForChocolate90s]

killing in the name of was just an example, it could be any song, , just a show of people working tiogther, all buying the same song, to make it #1 for crimbo, and also to stop the X Factor from doing what it does,. pumps out a lot of bands, just before christmas, to try and get it to #1.

Work on how popular the winner of the talent show was to sell records, get a 1 hit wonder to christmas #1

Instead of a song that is chrismas themed - reminds you of family

[KillForChocolate90s]

on a different note, away from the crap ( religion basically :¬) )

This is a well put togther video, nice one !!!

[OrcWyvern]

WOW!

your sycronization is amazing, cosidering you can not control the lights!!

I didn't know England was this beatiful =)

[clapphamjunction]

OrcWyvern, you have no clue what you've been missing. England is amazing alright & it's one of those places you've just got to visit at least once in a lifetime. Just like my trip to America, it was PHE-NOMENAL! ; )

[iambac]

Good song very good lights, but that is NOT a Christmas song, it is the opposite

of a Christmas song, it's all about Hate

[clapphamjunction]

hey iambac, I understand what you mean, but why do you say this song doens't represent what Christmas is about? Have you forgotten perhaps that Christmas is a celebration of Jesus' birth, a freedom fighter himself? If you don't understand this it just reflects how futile our society really is. Who cares about santa claus or his raindeers. Christmas should be about love and fighting for justice, which are values clearly embraced by RATM.

[iambac]

Just because there is a good message in a song doesn't make it a Christmas somg. For the most part Christmas is for the Kids, and this song, "no matter how good it is" just doesn't bring out the Christmas spirit

[aleczier]

False, this song isn't about hate. It's song itself is about the absurdity of the white power movement.

If anything you need to remember the number of people "killing in the name" of Jesus... Which a great number of the white supremacist groups actually believe they are. Which is not to mention any of the crusades....

[iambac]

I gues they deeted my comment, but of course it is about hate, do you think they kill in the name of Jesus because they Love them.

[KillForChocolate90s]

@iambac jesus is fiction, usually its killing in the name of ( to make money - gain power - or get the oil from the country )

[iambac]

Of course it is all fiction, and so is the happy place in the sky, but that doesn't make Killing in the name of a Christmas song. Even though I love the song and listen to it very loud in my car.

[iambac]

Not to mention all of the people who Kill in the name of Allah, I bet they will never sing about them. The White power groups are cowards. But I bet they will never sing about the Black power groups, they are both racist.

[hobogoblin55]

[dirtyostrich]

Check out the xmas Video mashup!! Just search for RAGE AGAINST THE X FACTOR ALPHADRIVE in youtube, It's the funniest thing i've ever seen! LOL

[FTF96]

That's fantastic! Wish it was full length, but amazing effort!

[JanDeluxe78]

That's the true christmas spirit! Awesome!

[ravendarque72]

I've heard numbers of over £70 000 raised (well over $100 000) for these charities, especially the housing charity 'Shelter' (for the homeless and more). All in all, a wonderful fight of David against Goliath and the underdogs won!

[ravendarque72]

The song chosen was 'Killing in the name' by Rage Against The Machine and I can happily report that RATMs song won and has become the number one song for Christmas 2009!

Granted, it's not exactly a very Christmassy song, but the buying of this song has also contributed to raising huge amounts of money for a number of charities which is very much in keeping with the Christmas spirit.

[ravendarque72]

This process is having a very negative effect on the culture of music. It is robbing music of originality, creativity and innovation; things that are at the heart of the musical landscape.

In response to this, a couple began a campaign of stopping this trend created by Simon Cowell and X-factor, by suggesting that everyone in the UK download a different song in record numbers.

[ravendarque72]

A big battle has been raging in the UK regarding the Christmas number 1 which, for the past several years, has been hijacked by the 'short term money making machine' that is X-factor (known as American Idol in the US I believe). It has perpetuated this deliberate recipe of getting the winner of their glorified karaoke competition to the number 1 with a number that is merely a copy of an already established song.

[drummerbrad123]

nice vid

[jim618033]

Christmas can be a stressful and depressing time... NOT ANY MORE!!!!!!!

[DudeMeister44]

I love my city.

[njozzy]

nice video =]

[cantcount0]

that was coool.

[blindwookie]

Wow, some deep rooted philosophy going on here today.

[ben29mc]

Rage will play a free gig if they are the no.1.

Come on people - btw for all the idiots who choose not to hear facts I'll try one more time - COWELL DOES NOT GET A PENNY FROM THE RAGE SALES!!! SONY OWN HIM NOT THE OTHER WAY ROUND!!!!

[KaMakaZeDaN17]

The money RATM makes they will donate to charity, the money Joe (X-Factor) makes, im sure they will be pocketing. Its not hard to see which is the good cause. Its not about money anyway, its purely a way of saying, we're sick of being fed really crap music. We will choose the music we like. Its been nothing but a bit of fun for me anyway, and thats all it should be. It is Christmas & people are taking it way too seriously.

[kinr03340]

They are American. An American band should be on top our charts on Christmas day. The campaigner should of chosen a British song to challenge against the X-factor song.

[designkid5555]

But isn't Rage against the machiene also owned by sony bmg, which is also the same music company that Joe is signed to? So the people at sony (including Simon Cowell) are only going to make more money than ever before!!!!!!

(Still thought the vid was really cool though, nice job) :D

[EvilernieUK]

@designkid5555 Its not about the money though, its about the principals behind the song and the meaning. Its telling them we dont want to be force fed cover artist after cover artist.

[TheMurdoch83]

@designkid5555

Ratm's label epic records are a subsidiary of Sony BMG as is Cowell's label syco, That doesn't mean syco gain any money from ratm sales. To paraphrase Morello, you have to use capitalist avenues to air your voice in a capitalist society. It's not afterall against Sony, we're not asking people to throw their HD TVs and Playstations out the window.

[IJTop200]

Wow, excellent video

[croneymonster]

Urgh I wish people would get their facts right before commenting, RATM have said they will donate any profits to charity and hold a free concert if they get to number 1. All Cowell has to do to get a number one is bring out a decent song maybe even *shock horror* written by British songwriters.

[Gurnie44]

Love it! Hope RATM gets the no.1.

[alienhell663]

Well it dosn't really matter about the country. It's just a great song of subject to bring it back. I mean, if we had Anarchy in the UK by the Sex Pistols. Not half as many people would buy it as they have now :P

[confusedhebru]

since christmas is a key holiday in both the USA and UK... no, not really

[EvilernieUK]

@maxim900 no.

[LozBlanko]

Amazing

[WEEFATBOAB]

The HUGE HUGE difference between rage against the machine and simon cowell is Rage against the machine write music for music sake.

Simon Cowell makes music that will make the most money.

It saddens me a little that this needs to be pointed out.

[thiagolira]

I'm not a fan of XFactor, but I'm not a fan os RATM either. This song is quite shit, actually. But what I find really funny is people trying to be ALL PROUD TO BE BRITISH and reclaim our XMAS number ONE, when they have chosen this crap AMERICAN BAND to do so. It's also funny how the band members are urging people to buy this crap, when they actually don't give a fuck about XMAS number ONE in the UK. They are only interested in selling and I don't see how that is different to Simon Cowell.

[TheMurdoch83]

@thiagolira

The campaign has nothing to do with nationalism, I'm not sure why you've jumped to that conclusion. Music is universal, right? Also your just showing your ignorance, if you think RATM are only interested in "selling".

@TheMurdoch83 @YouFreddyTube @confusedhebru

When people like you start respecting other
