Well yes it is also indirectly directed at him, because he is essentially part of this particular casting show. But I think it was more of a general protest against boring generic pop music that is the result of these shows. That's how I see it anyway.
X-Factor belongs to SyCo (Simon's part of Sony records)
RATM belongs to Epic records, sweet FA to do with Cowell.
Yes, both companies are part of Sony, but Cowell gets nothing from RATM. And your argument has now been proven wrong for 4 consecutive weeks, so get with the times.
hey bencmerrill....... I don't know how old you are but I was born long ago and RATM is a statement of how life goes on! Actually I think my granny would like it. God rest her eternal youthful soul. She hated war and sitting in some rocking chair isn't going to get us out of IRAQ OR AFGHANISTAN.
haha it wasn't even about Cowell, you guys are mad.
It's just about being able to stand up for ourselves and protest against the sort of drivel the X Factor puts out into the charts. At least Rage play instruments and didn't rely on a karaoke competition and another persons song to get into the charts.
Go rage for me, sorry but you lame arse pop idols need to wake up and look out of your window, there's a whole world! (albeit while singing along to the spice girls!)
To those who say that this RATM campaign is stupid, let A4WC tell you this:
We are sick and tired of all this manufactured crap that is rammed down our throat nowadays from the Cowell Mafia!
He and Walsh are the reason I only listen to Foreign stuff like Rammstein and PMMP because today's music from UK, Ireland and US is complete and utter crap and there's no variety!
I did my bit at 11:41PM last Saturday and I'm glad I did!
so now that your number one and have made all this money, were are your funds going? i guess that makes you a money making machine too. great way to build up sells guys.
what the hell is this??? can you imagine a lilltle old lady sitting in her rocking chair, looking out of the window, and the this comes on, she'd be dead before christmas! And the people who "sing" this song, they'll think that there the next paul mcartney, but has anyone actually heard of them before, i know i certainly haven't!
Im surprised you dont know Rage. They've been raging for the past 20 years and are renowned figures in activism against injustice and the overall government.
finaly the x factor has lost control of the christmas no1 and its about damn time.
the x factor tries to get its show perfectly timed so that they finish near christmas making ll fans wana buy the album well this plot to say NO means we dont want your SHIT and you can keep it to yourself.
fuc u nerd!!! music isnt a man shouting down a microphone!!!!! music is about beat/timing/tempo and bass all that stuff u twat and especially the voice so stfu and go kill ur self emo
stfu!! man ur dumb how is a multi milion pound buissness tv programme and simon cowell the richest person in the whole of europe mean kareoke ur so fucking dumb
This is the best thing to happen in the world in a long fuckin' time!! The campaign to get jeff's hallelujah no.1 last year was tainted as cowell owned the rights to both versions so the doh was going to his pocket abyway but THIS was just pure poetic brilliance and i'm just really happy and proud of everyone who participated!! You all showed what can be done!! KEEP ON ROCKING IN THE FREE WORLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also all you hardcore, bad to the bone rebels, do all realise that you can just turn over x factor dont you?? and turn off x factor singles?? then nasty Mr simon cowell cant brain wash you into buying his records!!! Also for the really concerned ive made some very nice, cowell resistant tin foil hats!!! If you leave ur contact info ill pop one in the post!!!
*order now to receive ur 100% cowell resistant tin foil hat by xmas day*
This whole thing is so funny!! I pity all the people that bought that old shit song and are now somehow pleased with themselves!!!!!? Just think about it, you all had this idea that cowell was somehow telling you what to buy so to "rebel" against this you all just went out like the mindless sheep you are and bought what some other guy told you to!! Very rebellious, way to "rage against the machine" idiots!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Youre calling rage against the machine shit music? Do you think that the manufactured x factor songs r clever somehow? r.a.t.m's lyrics are political the song was written about klu klux clan members in the police the lyrics are about raging against the military- industrial complex and the corporate owned media that has clearly brainwashed pussies like you. you think people who started a grassroots campaign against the music industry are the ones who r sheep and not the x factor fans. explain.
i dont think that sony is the ultimate winner (they can use the monney to design shiny new tvs :) ) i think the ultimate winners are us who bought the track cuas we feel so fuckng pleased with our selves now and also have bragging rights for ever!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
it aint no victory lol 500,000 twats bought the RATM single and put it at no 1 lol they are signed to Simon Cowell's record label so he wins no1 and no2 at xmas and you all fell for the hype now thats really rebelious against the establishment hahaha lets all make the rich even richer.
no theyre not you idiot. theyre signed to a label thats owned by sony. simon cowell's label is also OWNED by sony. that doesnt mean RATM are signed to simon cowell's record label now does it?
My PERSONAL opinion of this is that it's stupid. I don't believe that crap that Simon is rigging the charts. The songs are IN the charts because people like them and bought them. It is the fault of the PUBLIC that the X Factor get the christmas single. I don't like Joe but I think this campain is stupid. Don't give me crap about this either. I'm just stating my opinion. This is why we have the ability to leave comments.
What do you mean by give you crap? I will come back at ya buddy. Its called debate. No-one claimed he was rigging the charts. The point is just because the masses are stupid enough to buy whatever hollow bullshit is shuved down there throat does not make it a betterment of society. Who knows maybe they will think why did people do this and it will wake them up from that lazy feed me more shit media sleep they have got themselves into.
HELL YES! THE BRITISH PUBLIC HAVE SPOKEN AGAINST THAT ARROGANT, MORONIC SIMON COWELL. He was probably so shocked that his trousers, usually at neck level, fell to the floor.
I understand voting against the x factor, but dont for one second think this is the answer, aint R.A.T.M. on the same record label as the x factor winner anyway? And if this song was so good why didnt you all buy it last time and make it number 1
All the royalties from the Rage single go to the charity SHELTER, hhmmm i wonder if that little boy Joe would give the royalties from his song away ?? i think NOT lol lol
crap factors put on purposely near xmas to get a karaoke singer an xmas no one, hell darkness sucked but they're xmas no one was good , people should be fighting hard for an xmas no one, music is about soul, this show and most of the singers dont have it and that twat cowell has the final say.
Come on rage knock this talentless hack and his monkey manager off the charts, x factor and reality tv sucks, this wins it makes a point, we wont buy what they tell us, this song still rocks and it wins then proper people with talent like rage who worked hard to get where they are will fight for xmas no one next year instead of x factor giving u a free pass for no one, which is utter b.....ks, if we lose ax x factor and the crap with it. jo has no talent, sing your own song not someone elses.
I got an idea, why don't you all go out by some rope, wrap it up, put a little label with your name on from santa, open it christmas morning and hang yourselfs!!!!!! A little harsh but who actually cares, honestly which ever is number 1 you will forget about all this hype by monday morning!!! plus what ever happens cowel is a winner
More reasons to hate Asda (Wallmart). Can't stand the shop, but it's just up the road and I really don't fancy going into town to buy this. So I rang the music section of Asda (Wallmart) and asked if they had RATM - Killing in the Name of. The answer 'the only single we have is the Jo Mc...' Guess I'll have to embrace the modern age and dowload. RATM isn't really my sort of music, but after 45 years of having crap pop music rammed down my throat, I've had enough.
I hope joe gets to number one that would really piss you all off ha ha ha ha As simon said it's to give un notcied talent a chance too reach for their dreams, Surly we all have dreams or in your case WET DREAMS GO GET A LIFE OR BETTER A JOB YOU BUNCH OF ASS WIPES GO JOE GO JOE GET TOO NUMBER ONE
it's all exactly the same, you don't want an x factor number 1 to prove to simon that he can't control the music chart,and yet all your doing is buying an old song,because some else told you to? How many of you would have bought this song if it wasn't for the facebook group?
the reason i bought this track was cus im board of listning to the same old bullshit every year for xmas no1 not becuase i wanted to piss simon cale off...
Hypocritical bullshit!! don't buy what simon cowell tells you to buy but buy our shitty song instead!! They are just using x factors popularity to get some publicity!!
you're an idiot, rage against the machine had no knowledge of this campaign till abt 2 weeks ago, profits from joe's single go towards making simon cowell even richer, profits from this track go to homeless charity SHELTER
OK i didnt know that, who started the campaign then?? Also judging by your enthusiasm for charity i assume you bought the x factor charity single whose profits went to a childrens hospital??
yes, downloaded it for my daughter ONLY because of the charity aspect, downloaded Killing in the name from 5 different sites to make sure it was thoroughly cancelled out, people keep saying that the ultimate winner is Sony because both artists are represented by them but knowing that this chart battle has raised so much money for charity means it was a necessary evil, I can live with that
if ur gonna go against the x factor then at least chose a better song, I pesonally dont lyk it bt good luck 2 RATM hope they do it an stop all this fixed bullshit
The whole point of THIS song is the message "F&^k you I won't do what you tell me". That is the point WE are trying to get across. It's about time music fought back against this manufactured CRAP that they get all the kids to buy. I am DELIGHTED about this campaign and fully support it 100%. I think the song is PERFECT for the campaign!
What i dont get is, why do you even care what goes to no 1?? and if people wanna buy joes song, let them!! I suppose ideally you'd want everyone to buy the shit you listen to??
Eh? No pet - I just want REAL musicians to be in the charts again! People who play instruments and write music for a living. It doesn't matter who it is - it matters how they get there. To me it does anyway. As an advocate of MUSIC and MUSICIANS. Who the hell is Joe anyway? I've never heard of him! I don't watch manufactured music shows. Is he singing a song he wrote? I don't think so! Then why should he be no1? That is why I care. And I listen to all sorts of music - thanks!
I guess its just a matter of taste, look contrary to what you might think i aint a joe fan nor would i buy his songs but i dont see that just because he doesnt write his own songs nor play an instrument he is talentless!! playing an instrument is just a skill that can be learned in a few years and as for writing songs it cant be that hard when 30% is just screaming into the mic!! whereas joe has a real natural talent that cant be learnt!!
I have no idea - I dont watch X Factor. Maybe he can sing but you have to EARN the right to be number nne. You can't just go on a tv show and expect to be number one at Xmas and we won't stand for it anymore. And WE WON!!! Music WON!! I am so damn happy now! Proves a massive point, people do not WANT plastic made up no-ones who will disappear in 6 months being number 1. Please try to write a song - it IS that hard dude. Joe can work at his talent now and maybe ONE DAY be number 1, but not 2day!!
Zack De La Rocha: If Killing In The Name's No1 over X Factor we'll play a huge free concert in th UK 2celebrate th victory of this historic peoples campaign ... If th unprecedented grassroots movemnt 2topple X-Factor's successful we'll return 2th UKs shores in 2010 for a massive thankyou gig.
Tom Morello: Attention freedomfighters this'll be decided by Saturdays sales ... Spread th word, knock on doors, host downloadin parties, knock peopl down buying X Factor ... Th clock's ticking.
'...like they treat the audience as though they are stupid....and I don't like that...' what Simon has forgotten is that if you tell people not to do stuff they'll do it just to fuck you off espcially if your a twat just like......... They Do What They Told You....
arrgghh cant fuckin stand x factor! nothing but pathetic people that have to go on tv to get a career! they rule the charts every year, its about time that other artists get a chance to be number 1, simon cowell said that its nothing but a synical joke phaaa! so not letting other artists get to number 1 isn't synical? fuck the x-factor and especially simon cowell! RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE FOR CHRISTMAS NUMBER 1!
Obviously i have watched the x factor otherwise that wouldn't have been a fair comment, so how about you go fuckin sit in the corner you total ass wipe!
i would vote mc hammer over x factor its all brain washin bullshit and in a time of ressession the last thing we need to worry about is voting 4 and then buyin the single of yet another shitty x factor number 1 tbh this campaign is a bit stupid compared toallthe political issues they could be rapin about atm but it is about tym that reality tv wasnt controlling the british lives 4 yet another year its the perfect way to start a decade RAGE 4 NUMBER 1!!!
@BendyCowgirl it will earn his bosses even more money so its really not going to change his life, he will be given a nice bonus for it im sure. Tell me otherwise how it will change his life, i really can't see it.
It'll bring him down to earth with a big bump, he'll always be rich, he's a business man and will make money anywhere he finds an opportunity its not about that. He's set him self up way too huigth and he will topple, the bigger they are the harder they fall.
Buy it guys, no point just hoping everyone else will. DO IT! I have. See the facebook group for details of how to download for free. Make it happen, come on, we need YOU!
I must admit that I had not heard this song, and I have no idea who these newcomers rage against the machine are. However, I for one think this is classic christmas music and so I'll be buying a copy for each of my kids. Rock-and-roll!
yes it does. you can also multi-buy from different sites but please don't bulk buy...i.e dont buy 10 at once from the SAME site. that gets us disqualified. 3 maximum from each site. you can also gift the song to any one you like via 7Digital and itunes.
the winner of x factor WILL have a hit record..but it would be great to show the world that a huge number of people are sick to death of this soppy bubble gum shite...and, simon, you're audience are generally stupid....you're the cynical one---milking the career of the poor lad who couldn't write a song if his life depended on it!!
This country has had 10 years of reality TV - and society are now starting to wake up to the shallow place we've ended up! The media moguls have monetized and bled the concept dry - their party is nearly over - thank god we're waking up!!
steffcat, samhain and maisie you are all absolutely correct! Simon Cowell is a parasite who makes millions from humiliating ordinary people. Cowell has no discernable talent apart from being plain fucking rood. And here in the UK David Cameron (the leader of the opposition) has publicly stated that the evil hairy mutant Cowell should be held up as some sort of example of self made capitalist excellence. What a great example to our children! Tossers!
ahhh i love this song and i have to admit ive never heard it before this whole drama but even if it doesnt make number 1 im happy because ive been introduced to this song haha :)
Cowell is a two faced lying sack of shit, like he really cares about his signings, if he did he wouldn't drop them so quickly, He has made a career out of humilating those that are least able to withstand it and then ruthlessly exploits the shit out of the winners. For example, Joe gets signed for 1 million but will see only a hundred grand of it, everything else will go into the production and promotion of an album that will yield a huge profit for cowell
Tbh. i dont think it should be a case of 'an x-factor number 1' cant we just view them as a music artist as well ? although i think x-factor should be more diverse excepting all kind of acts. still this wouldnt be my number 1... nor joe..
The X Factor has dumbed down culture, Cowell must take the nation for fools putting out yet another bland ballad in time for Christmas. I really hope R.A.T.M remind ppl of the right to choose & get No.1

heavy metal is shit music, no doubt, this song is crap aswell, u can tell that they dont know how 2 play guitar properly, however give me this over the X factor any day!!!

Come on rage knock this talentless hack and his monkey manager off the charts, x factor and reality tv sucks, this wins it makes a point, we wont buy what they tell us, this song still rocks and it wins then proper people with talent like rage who worked hard to get where they are will fight for xmas no one next year instead of x factor giving u a free pass for no one, which is utter b.....ks, if we lose ax x factor and the crap with it. jo has no talent, sing your own song not someone elses.
wesker100000000 2 years ago
I got an idea, why don't you all go out by some rope, wrap it up, put a little label with your name on from santa, open it christmas morning and hang yourselfs!!!!!! A little harsh but who actually cares, honestly which ever is number 1 you will forget about all this hype by monday morning!!! plus what ever happens cowel is a winner

More reasons to hate Asda (Wallmart). Can't stand the shop, but it's just up the road and I really don't fancy going into town to buy this. So I rang the music section of Asda (Wallmart) and asked if they had RATM - Killing in the Name of. The answer 'the only single we have is the Jo Mc...' Guess I'll have to embrace the modern age and dowload. RATM isn't really my sort of music, but after 45 years of having crap pop music rammed down my throat, I've had enough.

it's all exactly the same, you don't want an x factor number 1 to prove to simon that he can't control the music chart,and yet all your doing is buying an old song,because some else told you to? How many of you would have bought this song if it wasn't for the facebook group?

you're an idiot, rage against the machine had no knowledge of this campaign till abt 2 weeks ago, profits from joe's single go towards making simon cowell even richer, profits from this track go to homeless charity SHELTER

OK i didnt know that, who started the campaign then?? Also judging by your enthusiasm for charity i assume you bought the x factor charity single whose profits went to a childrens hospital??
daveabh 2 years ago
yes, downloaded it for my daughter ONLY because of the charity aspect, downloaded Killing in the name from 5 different sites to make sure it was thoroughly cancelled out, people keep saying that the ultimate winner is Sony because both artists are represented by them but knowing that this chart battle has raised so much money for charity means it was a necessary evil, I can live with that

The whole point of THIS song is the message "F&^k you I won't do what you tell me". That is the point WE are trying to get across. It's about time music fought back against this manufactured CRAP that they get all the kids to buy. I am DELIGHTED about this campaign and fully support it 100%. I think the song is PERFECT for the campaign!

What i dont get is, why do you even care what goes to no 1?? and if people wanna buy joes song, let them!! I suppose ideally you'd want everyone to buy the shit you listen to??
daveabh 2 years ago
Eh? No pet - I just want REAL musicians to be in the charts again! People who play instruments and write music for a living. It doesn't matter who it is - it matters how they get there. To me it does anyway. As an advocate of MUSIC and MUSICIANS. Who the hell is Joe anyway? I've never heard of him! I don't watch manufactured music shows. Is he singing a song he wrote? I don't think so! Then why should he be no1? That is why I care. And I listen to all sorts of music - thanks!
nikkikava 2 years ago 3
I guess its just a matter of taste, look contrary to what you might think i aint a joe fan nor would i buy his songs but i dont see that just because he doesnt write his own songs nor play an instrument he is talentless!! playing an instrument is just a skill that can be learned in a few years and as for writing songs it cant be that hard when 30% is just screaming into the mic!! whereas joe has a real natural talent that cant be learnt!!
daveabh 2 years ago
I have no idea - I dont watch X Factor. Maybe he can sing but you have to EARN the right to be number nne. You can't just go on a tv show and expect to be number one at Xmas and we won't stand for it anymore. And WE WON!!! Music WON!! I am so damn happy now! Proves a massive point, people do not WANT plastic made up no-ones who will disappear in 6 months being number 1. Please try to write a song - it IS that hard dude. Joe can work at his talent now and maybe ONE DAY be number 1, but not 2day!!

yes it does. you can also multi-buy from different sites but please don't bulk buy...i.e dont buy 10 at once from the SAME site. that gets us disqualified. 3 maximum from each site. you can also gift the song to any one you like via 7Digital and itunes.

steffcat, samhain and maisie you are all absolutely correct! Simon Cowell is a parasite who makes millions from humiliating ordinary people. Cowell has no discernable talent apart from being plain fucking rood. And here in the UK David Cameron (the leader of the opposition) has publicly stated that the evil hairy mutant Cowell should be held up as some sort of example of self made capitalist excellence. What a great example to our children! Tossers!

Cowell is a two faced lying sack of shit, like he really cares about his signings, if he did he wouldn't drop them so quickly, He has made a career out of humilating those that are least able to withstand it and then ruthlessly exploits the shit out of the winners. For example, Joe gets signed for 1 million but will see only a hundred grand of it, everything else will go into the production and promotion of an album that will yield a huge profit for cowell
samhain66 2 years ago 5
1. This will bring the song to a whole new generation
2. Rage are a political band whose songs are not about love, but about corrupt governments and things that we should stand up against.
3. The band have always donated and supported a lot of worthy causes over the years.
4. Even if it makes Cowell miserable, it's a very small price to pay.
6. This is when rock stars were about the music not about poncing around with girly hair and emo make-up.
