A lot of comments i've seen seem to be under the impression RATM are a new band as well, completely oblivious to the several multi platinum albums, sell out shows, headlined festivals, political movements and so on.

Haha, I noticed this. Particularly the people complaining that RATM will release their album to coincide with McElderry, what planet are they on?
 
Awesome work everyone who bought it... :cool:

This is the first decent song in the charts for a while it seems...

I think the album will sound good while eating my Christmas meal. :D
 
Joe on radio 1 earlier was awful.

And those 2 presenters constantly saying his name wrong to try to hip was just cringe worthy.

hate Radio 1

hate Xfactor

All mainstream pop music is crap.

Listening to radio 1 charts with the rest of you in here at position 14 down...reinforces this.

Over produced/nonsense.Rubbish banal lyrics.

How many songs in the top ten spell out stuff...


L.O.V.E

Leave that **** for dolly parton

Garbage on every level.

I feel sorry for the youth of today. Nothing to cling and strive for just ,mediocrity
 
Hmmm, sexuality has nothing to do with it ;)

RATM = *****
X Factor single = *****

I know i'll get the whole 'its the meanng behind the song bla bla bla' its tosh in my opinion nothing changes that!

Make sure you fully star out any swear words please.

It just goes to show just how out-of-touch scores of people are I guess. I did wince a little whilst reading some of the responses on that fan-based forum. Complete idiocy if you ask me.

Anyone spot this gem?

[I'm paraphrasing] "I agree with you hun. I won't allow my kids to listen to that type of mysic either."

As in refering to the rock-genre due to it happening to have 'swearing'.
These people are saying they've lost faith in society? Today is a proud moment - sure it's a bandwagon - but a part of my faith has been returned to me with a smile. I guess these people are simply the polar-opposite of the individual of which many of us here, are and stand for. But then, what do you expect from a spoon-fed, Heat-reading, little princess who's too stupid to see how the X-Factor plays on the hero-forumula and simple sales? It's perfectly evident in the fact that the backlash stems from Joe's hurt feelings and 'damaged' career.

It's not about the music with the fans of the show, it's about the story and the happy-ending. It's sadly ironic that because they're buying into this force-fed, neatly packaged, heart-string story of the musical protagonist as they want to see and share in a happy ending, that they are unwittingly supporting a framework - the 'machine' - which is the very reason why many happy endings are no longer possible.

Most of them are children and they don't know any better. The few that got upset and vocal about being labelled a child because they're 21 or 22 have probably just not really grown-up, or are still hanging on to a naive world-view that makes them susceptible to such exploitation.

Oh well, I knew the enemy was close but no-one ever said anything about fighting women and children. :p

What word have you starred out there, none of the words I can think of that would make sense there need starring and if they do need starring you're supposed to fully star them out.

You don't seem to get it, whether you like or dislike either song, it was about not having a single that was made by well paid lyricists, a lot of people are tired of putting up with the same competition getting to no1 every year.

Exactly, a lot of people seem to have missed this point (some RATM fans too). RATM is not something I would normally listen to and hasn't been since I was an angry teenager. I wasn't about what the RATM track is, more what it isn't.
 
More specifically, can someone clarify this:

Joe is signed to Syco which is a part of Sony BMG. And RATM are signed to Epic who are a part of......Sony BMG.
Which gives a huge contribution to Sony's profits, Syco has points in Sony Music and receives a proportion of all revenue.
(BY 'points', i mean a percentage of income directed simon's way....
