This is what Tom Morello of Rage Against The Machine had to say about getting “Killing In The Name” to the top of the UK charts -the one problem with the USA is its too big to do something like that but somebody (hi Helen) should try…
Morello said: “A little dose of anarchy for the Christmas holidays is good for the soul. I love the independent spirit of the British rock fansYour country has a great rich history of cutting-edge, exciting rebel music. Whether it’s the early Stones and The Who, or The Clash and The Sex Pistols, or Prodigy and The Muse, I think that people are just fed up with being represented every Christmas holiday, being spoon fed some overblown, sugary ballad that sits at the top of the charts.
“Me personally, I am going to donate part of my proceeds from the sales to an organisation in the UK called Youth Music, which is the UK’s largest children’s music charity.”
“My hope is that one of the results of this whole thing is that there will be a new generation of rockers who will take on the establishment with the music they write.”
“The one thing about the X Factor show, much like American Idol, if you’re a viewer of the show, you get to vote for one candidate or the other but you don’t really get to vote against the show itself… Until now!”
There is nothing I don’t like about this story except its ending (my bet x factor wins) HOWEVER I’d love to read Mike Nessing, maybe my favorite writer in the world not named Mary, take. Cmon Mike, please…
