Exclamation RATM- Killing in the name, for Christmas no 1??
So, what do you guys think of this being our Christmas Number 1??




A LOT of people I know and talk to are downloading and buying it JUST so there is NOT an X Factor number 1, AGAIN!

I haven't got it myself, I (and this is only my opinion) think it's rubbish, although I do agree in that we really could do with someone/something else having a chance at being number 1 at Christmas time.

What do you think of it?

I've bought it off Amazon. Well, I say I bought it but it cost 29p and I got a 29p discount - so just doing my little bit to stop the X Factor machine.


I agree, it's rubbish, btw.

I like heavy metal sometimes but this isn't it.
I websearched and found the lyrics.
It is a youth protest against war and mind control - I agree with that protest but won't be buying.

its utter crap, but if it prevents x-factor its served a valuble purpose.

RATM don't claim to be metal it's more rap-punkrock.

This is metal

I bought the RATM album in 1993 and its on the ipod already so i won`t be joining the idiots who don`t even like it buying it just to stop the X Factor getting to number 1..........stupid idea.

Given the fact that I don't like modern pop music, full stop (1975 onwards) X factor or any other modern rubbish won't be coming my way

Both acts are on the Sony label

Classic tune it is, but aren't Christmas number ones supposed to be utter ****? Leave it as it is!
