To get people to realise that there is more out there than Simon Cowell's latest money gimp.
Best xmas song this year is a version of Elvis Costello's The St Stephen's Day Murders by Thea Gilmore and Mark Radcliffe.
Quality. **** you Cowell, and you too you insipid geordie twat.
(That's enough of my festive cheer for now)
Which insipid Geordie twat are you talking about?
But doing this with RATM means the people who buy it will be the people who already realise there's an alternative. The people who buy the X-factor thing won't like RATM, it will probably make them think non-mainstream (if you can call a band on Sony that) music is rubbish. I have the RATM album on CD and if you're trying to introduce people to alternative music I would start with something a little gentler.
If there is going to be a campaign like this (not that I think there should be) it should be for an independent artist who deserves the success and will appeal to a broad range of people. Not something the X-factor fans would never dream of buying anyway.

Alan Shearer. He doesn't like RATM.
Unless the proceeds go to Shelter..and the chorus is '**** You I Won't Do What You Tell Me..'
RATM say they will donate a proportion of their royalties
Nothing from Sony BMG, who have raked in a feckin' fortune from this whole load of twaddle as they own both artistes....
