Oh dear.
Rage Against The Machine For Christmas No.1
- Thread starter Rooney24
- Start date
That forum made me want to kill myself.
I think we could have some fun on there.
Rage Against the Machine have been one of my favourite bands for a long time now, I'm really happy they've got the Number One because I am SO SICK of the X Factor constantly getting the Xmas #1 and taking all the fun out of the competition for the top spot. It's like Simon Cowell thought he had ownership over that position, like he has ownership over most of the TV shows these days.
Well, in your face Simon! We won't stand for it. Power to the people!
Do you want to go to the celebration concert together, MrsGiggs?
I'd love to go to a RATM concert! Just, you know, with people I know haha...
She's not your type anyway Biscuit.
Forum invasion...
but... but we're E-buddies.. surely thats enough?
Good thing he's not a black cloakroom attendant in Guildford then..
What a pack of 'tards. I sincerely hope this wrecked their Christmas.
That forum is wonderful. Christ, can no one spell or punctuate? Can they also not see that Joe Teeth is a mere pawn in Cowell's empire? They all seem to think that Rage Against The Machine are some unheard of band who viciously organised this campaign to ruin their beloved's life.
I would despair but it's just too funny.

It's actually quite beautiful this in many ways....Let the revolution begin.
Hmmm a couple of Grammy's would say different.
Who will know of this Joe bloke in a while.
Let's start a new campaign. This week's single: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Rage Against The Machine beat Joe McElderry in race for Christmas number one | The Sun |Showbiz|Bizarre
Best part from Louis Walsh "Joe will go on to sell a lot more albums then the Rage ever have done. He's going to have a huge career. Missing out on the No1 this week will not make a difference to this life.
Rage Against The Machine couldn't fill Wembley now. I think Joe will"

Says it all really. That's why this campaign was done.
What about next Christmas though?
a) Let X-Factor have the number 1 because it won't be the same toppling it for the second time
b) Pick a new song to be number 1 (like this year)
c) Pick an old Christmas number 1 to be number 1
d) Get Joe's song "The Climb" to number 1 (this would be ironically ridiculous
)

Choice d sounds fantastic (I mean the second choice c).
Haha, whoops. Edited it now.
What about
e) Get RATM to #1 again, possibly even with the same song.

F) get olly, who finished 2nd in the X Factor, to number 1.
How funny. RATM could probably fill Hyde Park tbh. Poor little Joe couldn't even fill his underpants.Can't wait for the gig. Was supposed to see them at Reading years ago, but after initialy being down for doing it, they pulled out due for some reason..
Once again Rednev you're bang on the button. Generic is the perfect decription
Good God you remember that song ? It was appalling yet it was released, had a video and I believe made it into the top 20.
Just shows you what a bit of the old cash injection can do

Next christmas, I'm sure Sony will cook up another campaign that makes them double the money and gives them income from the 1st and 2nd chart spots. Just like this year.
Doubt that me lad. McElderry will see VERY little of what The Climb makes. The real winners are the writers behind the climb. As I doubt Miley Cyrus can write her own name let alone a song I doubt she's the one making much money off of it. It was just handy to have a song that is linked to such a strong (sadly) brand name.
In saying that it's a good launching pad for Joe and he's going to get sympathy sales from all his hardcore
fansSpot on. You know.....when you put it so simply it really brings home how sick the feckers are behind the X-Factor. I realise that the heads that go on it for fame and glory are idiots, but a part of me feels they're misguided and should not be subject to the bullying that goes on, on that show
Joe will definitely be ok. He has most certainly not lost out here, and this is why the campaign was so good. It was never intended to ruin someone. Disney would be perfect for him. He can go and join the likes of Miley Cyrus in fairy land. Leave him to it
Bloody hell that fan forum is hilarious, do they really think RATM are some random nobodies?! And Louis Walsh claiming they couldn't fill Wembley but this kid from X Factor could do is either woefully ignorant, extremely naive or deliberately disingenuous. I can't decide which as they'd all fit with the plonker who told us Jedward will be huge!
All these X Factor contestants will be forgotten about in 6 months, the only ones to buck that trend are Leona and Alexandra, both of which have something that makes them a lot more marketable than Joe.

Phil.......
shush
Why’s everyone talking about a new campaign now anyway? If you’re so fed up with the state of the charts and mainstream music then do what happened yesterday every week. Actually buy music you like, don’t download it for free. Go see local unsigned bands, go to gigs, listen to stuff on spotify and last fm that you’ve never heard before. Sack needing a campaign, that is as bad as watching x-factor and being told what to like.
And you can be guaranteed there’ll be even more campaigns next year, and they wont be run by fans, it’ll be the record labels behind it this time.

That forum is hilarious. It's a great way of seeing the general mindset of the average "Joe" fan. They have no idea who RATM are, and are merely bitter about the whole ordeal
RATM will be forgotten ?
Yeah and I suppose that's why they managed to rise from the ashes this year after a long time in the shadows ? Because they're capable of being forgotten. Spastics
They're the mobile phone generation. Nuff said
He's such a clown. And did he actually call them "the rage" ? Rage would easily fill Wembley, and I'll tell you this much, it would be filled to the brim with hardcore gig goers who are up for a great night, not a bunch of cotton-pickin ninny mugginses who light their cigarette lighters for 99% of the show's songs.
I'm all about a ballad don't get me wrong. I mean Foreigner ?? But when it's every song it's a bit silly really. It's manipulative and plays on the naive heart strings of 16 year old girls (and gay men)

I think it would be brilliant if song writers throughout the U.k and Ireland spent a few months coming up with some pretty cool Christmas numbers. We'd have a shit load of new Christmas tunes so we wouldn't have to rely on the old ones (which lets face it, we have been doing) and maybe because of this campaign people will be more into the idea of original. It's where music should be. It's what's magic about the whole thing in my opinion

You mean Viva?
only jokin pal lol fair play!
I am delighted about the prospect of seeing them. I've never seen them live and it was one of my main regrets for a gig going perspective. I never expected this to happen and so this time I am going to make sure I am there with feckin bells on !
