This seems to gathering pace, and that idiot Cowell pours a gallon of petrol on it buy talking about on his show

The haters must be laughing thier tats off!

In case you have been in a cave, and/or GAF , the record in question, and cowells comments nicely mixed in are below, but you have to endure a bit of scott mills / zane lowe handover...

BBC iPlayer Console - Zane Lowe: Zane Lowe Vs The People


great record though...

Ok so you've got Simon Cowells Christmas Crap record for kids/teenagers as thats his market against Rage Against the Machine, the band for the man who is too young to be middleaged but too old to be young and still wants to be thought of as cool.

No winners just losers in this fight imo.

I've a friend who loves RATM, he's in his 30's balding and fat, I'd rather be a teenager listening to pop to be honest.

dpb

does anyone over 30 support this race

Clarebabes

I watch it, it's quite entertaining Nothing else to do on a Saturday night

mj

Surely most of the RATM fans are 30+?

I'm with Cowell on this, though he should have gracefully kept his trap shut. It's all a bit spitefull and immature, if not amusing.

jamz3k....your'e pigeonholing a bit there with your assesment of RATM fans. So he's fat and bald??? probably got more inbetweetween his ears than you, judging by your assesment and preference for teenage pop.

Clarebabes

You're showing your age Mike

mj

I'm 37.

Or was it 38? ....

Clarebabes

Turn that around, it was 37, now 38

mj

Regardless, I've hated X factor since I was 4.

That debut RATM album has got to be one of favourite albums of all time, I am 31 now, going bald but not fat

I am 14 when it was released in 92, great angry soundtrack for my teenage years!

See above, slaphead

He's a tool and an IT guy, in other words an average RATM fan.

I hate Pop music i must say but its the lesser of two evils, least pop doesn't think its anything more than pop.

^ fair point, well made Most IT guys I know prefer German industrial metal

I hate Pop music i must say but its the lesser of two evils, least pop doesn't think its anything more than pop.

^ You can't hate POP. it's just the recent stuff that's tripe. Take ABBA for instance ?

Ste RB5138

Cheeky c**t!

The facebook group has over 600,000 members now

mj

There you go, gathering pace!

I still don't think it will even make a dent into the X factor single. If if it makes it into the top 10 I'll show my **** on the town hall steps.

dpb

Chip , if you were into ABBA at 17 it explains everything

Jamz3k

I've had to agree there, I do like pre-96/97 Pop.

It's not my fault that the taxi I ordered from a nightclub in Gothenburg, back in '89 turned up at 11.59 PM.

The blonde and brunette birds I'd been working all night were in tears!

Cowell is in this to make money and is scared that maybe his money making machine wont run to plan.

He just exploits these people for his short term gain and dumps them, at least bands like RATM have the talent to write their own songs and dont do world wide tours pretending to sing to over dubs whilst standing on stage or buried amongest scores of dancers trying to pretend they can sing.

Come on RATM!!!! The first ablum was amazing, great t scream your throat out to...

F*ck you I won't do what ya tell Me!!!

All this X-factor stuff is a load of bollix, I love the way Simon is taking it personally, it's nothing to do you with you personally, you ego filled moron!

it's only 99p on iTunes, I'll be purchasing it tomorrow for a bit of a giggle, as I like the chooooon too

Jamz3k

why purchase it when u can just download it for free from limewire? Infact thats how i am sticking it to Cowell, I'm just gonna download his back catalogue of songs for free. Cus i'm gangsta just like RATM.

james04

some of the money from the download goes to a homeless fund,
i bet cowell wouldnt do that!

I'm sure an ilegal download won't help anyones cause Also I doubt RATM will approve with illegally downloading their song
