A rubbish one.

How is it a rubbish idea?

I would give just about anything to beat the crap out of simon cowell and then set fire to him, just to **** out the flames and horribly deform that smug face made from gay orange plastic.
Get it done by whatever means, a damage to his ego is a good start for me.

So what he's saying is:

Don't be a sheep and buy the X-Factor single
Be a sheep and all buy this other one instead!

Awesome. I'm all for RatM pulling a surprise number one, but the irony behind this is just silly.

The difference is one of the tracks is music :)

Don't see what makes that RATM song any better than what the xfactor will put out. :confused:

How so?
The RATM song is an original song performed by talented musicians and enjoyed by fans. Rage got where they are because of their talent.

The xfactor song is a cover wailed by whatever fat scummer they've let through this year because "Noreen from the estate thinks she's well good and that" it will only be there because simon "I'm an orange ****" cowel" decided to put it out there for iceland dwellers to buy.
 
I get around said:
Anyone can learn to sing and perform.
It takes years to perfect the art of composition and song writing.

The people simon cowell dumps out into the musical toilet don't deserve a recording deal or to get into the charts. It's just people buying it going "DURP DURP DURP, XFACTOR IS GOOD" and then buying it, then the idiot dissappears becase they SUUUUUUUUUUCK.
If i wanted a cover band I'd look in the yellow pages under the "**** weddings" section.

I'm in.


Becuase you're deemed clinically retarded if you buy it, impossible to stop these people, they'll just point at a pony and then jump up and down going "DURP DURP DURP DURP DURP"

Thinking about this, the thing that really winds me up with the X Factor is the leveraging of popularity in one field - TV - to exercise power in another field - music.

You mean a bit like leveraging popularity in one field - The Internet- to exercise power in another field - music?
 
So what's stopping Smug Cowell from buying 20,000 copies of the X-Factor single when he hears about this plan?
 
I don't see why people aren't just happy to not buy the xfactor music.

I love "real" music and I'm happy to just listen out for my type of music.

Surely if all of us that love our "real" music got our music to be mainstream we'd probably hate it and find something else that most people don't like?

If rage against the machine were as popular as the xfactor they'd be Pop music and xfactor wouldn't be

You see people argue and argue over music and at the end of the day it's easy to look from an outsider of an argument and think it's ridiculous

Especially on a sunday night with 7 shirts in the basket...

I'd buy that song from last years winner it's quite catchy :D

I usually by songs that I hear on the radio or are recommended to me.

Albums are different though I'm more choosy then.

I don't think that's quite the same thing, given that the X Factor is bombarded at morons for 3 months of the year. What the hell else are they expected to do when a single is released?

This Internet campaign involves rather more of a decision on the part of the Rage buyers.
