Finally something constructive comes from this otherwise pointless exercise.

NOW I might be tempted.

Hmmm ..... all RATM's money maybe ... not ALL the money, certainly not Cowell's bit I bet.

How weird is that the ads by google on the first post has joe McElderry on it isnt he the winner of X fookter?!!!!

sounds like a Cowell conspiracy to me think hes even got into NWB website haha ;)

Doesn't Cowell own the rights to the RATM back catalogue - and isn't this a cynical ploy to create a 'competition' and line his pockets both ways?

@ Mr Blackheart - as discussed on previous X-F-RATM blog

Well, if RATM donate all profit from the single to youth music charity then thats got my vote, at least it will wind Cowell up, and it might send out a big V sign to him, the balance needs to be restored!

It's a shame either of them is in contention, IMO.

simon cowell works for sony/bmg thats all, its a massive major label that owns many many other labels

personally ive bought the single twice(as well as having the actual album)cos ive always really liked rage against the machine since day 1 and when i heard about the facebook group i thought itd be cool to see them back around again thats all, i have nothing majorly against X factor

There never was and never will be a "balance". lol

I hear you fella ... and its a great reason for buying it ... if one of my favourite (unknown/unsung/unappreciated - you know what I mean) bands was the target of this then you betcha I'd be queueing up for copies ..... regardless of X F shenanigans!
