jon Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Pretty daft though. Either don't have them playing live or expect what they were obviously going to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaki Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 They probably expected (and asked prior to performance) a band that is being broadcast to the general public (including children) mid-morning not to say 'fuck' on air a bunch of times.A band who are in their 40's no less. I love Rage and I'm not saying you should lose your anger once you reach a certain age but screaming "fuck you I won't do what you tell me" on national radio in the middle of the day having been explicitly asked not to, just to create a fuss....well, that's just embarrassing. I don't think there was ever any intelligent reason behind this stupid campaign but this just made it Simon Cowell, the twat V The noisy middle aged men who said "fuck you" on BBC radio. Think for yourselves kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. It was as embarrassing as that time the Sex Pistols were on that chatshow swearing and giving the fingers and stuff (not that I was born then probably). Like when one of your teachers casually swore in front of the class to try look cool, usually whilst straddling the back of a chair during a discussion about the drug laden sub-text in Alice in Wonderland or something.

Monster Zero Posted January 4, 2010 Report Share Posted January 4, 2010 It was as embarrassing as that time the Sex Pistols were on that chatshow swearing and giving the fingers and stuff (not that I was born then probably). I'm assuming you have never actually seen the footage of that event? Because it doesn't sound as if you have....lumping a band from 30-odd years ago in with RATM today seems a bit strange....the context of the Sex Pistols event was much different, it was actually pretty shocking to have someone say 'fuck' on the telly at teatime in the mid-70's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemonade Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 This years campaign has begun:BIRD is the WORD for UK Christmas number 1 2010 to beat X-Factor520000 members so far. Ultimately pointless, but I'll probably still buy it just for the amusement value of getting it up Simon Cowell. Current odds put the X Factor karaoke track at 5/2 and Surfin' Bird at 10/3, so they're anticipating a close one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 There's loads of these aren't there?Best one I thought was Cage Against the MachineJOHN CAGE'S 4'33'' FOR CHRISTMAS NUMBER ONE 2010 | Facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
delboy Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 some good campaigns like the ones above on the go. Great to see a bit more competition with the xmas number one. It's not only a time for goodwill but also a time to piss out Cowell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scorge Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 It should have been 'So Fucking What' by The Anti-Nowhere League, if we're honest.The joke is probably a bit too thin this time though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 I hope the x-factor song wins. Being asked to like shitty things on facebook is much more annoying than Simon Cowell.

Murrr Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Fuck that shit, let's get Sunn0)) to number 1. I'm sure that would go down well with the X-Factor crowd.I still stand by this. Sunn0)) and their unlistenable shite would make kids cry. Probably.Drrrrrrrrrrrooooooooonnnnnneeeee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teabags Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 Sunn0)) and their unlistenable shite Unlistenable?

Alkaline Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 I would buy the X-Factor single if it was Rebecca Ferguson that won. She has a voice as good as Nina Simone. I'm willing to reward talent with my hard earned cash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted April 15, 2011 Report Share Posted April 15, 2011 Will Young was neither an X-Factor winner nor a one hit wonder.I always thought Alexandra Burke would be more successful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
