The irony of the RATM being on Sony's label is just brilliant.

Did anyone gift a copy of Killing in the Name to TurnipHead?

The number of people thinking that this has any bearing on the result and/or the cause is amazing...

Apple just sent me the iTunes receipt for it, lovely timing!

Really - people. I'm not liking the way this has reduced into a bunch of children slinging insults at each other. Pull your pathetic little heads in!

Agreed. Think this thread has probably run its course. Its a slug fest in here. RATM won, Joe took it graciously, hes still getting stick for it. Poor lad!

Curiously, is RATM just performing one concert? How are the ticket allocations gonna work?

Trying to get a dreadful song to number 1 probably gave him double the amount of record sales he would have got normally.

i know, think about what would have happened if they'd picked a good song for joe to sing, he might have made it to number 1

LOL, Joe is taking the news better than you are

Can I add,

Simon Cowell, Louis Walsh, Sheryl Cole, Sharon Osbourne and the Minogue bird that I cant remember, Your Boy took a hell of a beating tonight......

 

[Egon]

no im not, he is though! Just listen to his voice!

I just have. He took it well didn't he. Quite mature tbh.

It's this personal hate campaign against the lad I don't get. Rage Against the Cowell Machine.... that's fine, I get it, but I just think some people have jumped on this band wagon for completely the wrong reasons.

Anyway.... I'm surprised at the overall result and I have to admit the tension was great. No doubt about it, the RATM song is awesome, I loved the album back as a spotty teenager in 1992, Joe's song is average at best.

I'm personally glad I didn't buckle to any of the peer pressure and buy it though. I would have had to roll a big fat hypocrisy cigar and smoke it !

 

[TurnipHead]

Pull your pathetic little heads in!

glad I bought about 10 singles...

:/

The Joe forum makes up for it by far though.

That's not his fault though izzit?

LMFAO!!!

probably either first come first served or 'names in a hat' all i know is i'd kill a small village worth of people to go.

Surely they will be playing more than one concert - I'd assume that just one of them will be free or something along those lines.

Ditto.

 

[Bleek]

TurnipHead's a faggot

+1 to the bandwagon!

 

[Knubje]

Don't get me wrong, I like RATM and love the song, and I'd never buy Joe's single for myself, but you're still all sheep, and the other herd are the ones sticking their middle finger up at you now as well.

Also, the 'greater good'? Sure you're a RATM fan!? Don't go all utilitarian on us!

Being a fan of their music doesn't mean I have to agree with their political points of view.

Yes everyone who has bought it are sheep, I'm not arguing this, hence I said I'd rather be a sheep with a middle finger (hoof) in the air starting/participating in worthy movements (imo) than one of the ones at the back licking its balls and bleeting waiting to be spoonfed the same old crap
