Marilyn Manson: “I Want Nine Inch Nails Vs X Factor Xmas 2010 Chart Battle”

manson90Marilyn Manson proposes yearly Christmas chart battle with the X Factor in the UK.

Following Rage Against The Machine’s ‘Killing In The Name’ Facebook campaign that got the band to the number one slot Marilyn Manson has suggested that Nine Inch Nails would be a good candidate for 2010.

“I don’t have anything against Simon Cowell and The X Factor. It’s just nice to see real music at the top of the charts,” said Marilyn Manson. “Somebody should try to do it next year. Can I suggest one of Nine Inch Nails’ best tracks called Starfuckers Inc? We should try to make it a yearly thing.”

Rage Against The Machine were the xmas number one selling a massive 502,000 copies of ‘Killing In The Name’ compared to only 450,000 of X Factor winner Joe McElderry’s ‘The Climb’.

The weirdo speaks sense. But I think… Raining Blood for 2010?

How about somthing that doesn’t involve manson? Closer?

i think we should all have abit of ‘cruelty bought thee orchids’ by cradle of filth for christams no.1. that would be beastly, dont try and deny it.

There’s already a facebook group for Raining blood for 2010 ;)

STFU Manson no one cares what you think…

Yeah i say raining blood would be awesome.

Carpe Jack

I think Metallica’s rendition of ‘So What’ would be the best choice for 2010’s Xmas No1. The xfactor pop children would hate that one.

Ian McWilliams

What about Closer by Nine Inch Nails or Fuck Like A Beast by WASP, that would totally kick the shit out of X-Factor.

Whatever track is chosen, I can all but guarantee that X Factor will get next years top spot.

The Rage campaign was a one off, and if it becomes a yearly thing then people will just get bored of it and no longer care.

We should just cherish our little moral victory this time, and not milk it. Cos we’ll only end up losing year after year.

Fuckin’ hell, can I believe my eyes??? You can see the headlines now – “MANSON IN INTELLIGENT QUOTE SHOCK”

I’m all for “Closer” for this Xmas #1. Never gave a flying fuck about the charts, like everyone else on this website, as it all about what gets promoted to teenage girls the best and nothing at all to do with quality and substance. But, Christ, that was hella awesome to see RATM at the top!!! The best shit to happen in years…

Who is this ‘we’ you speak of Manson?

Everyone is gonna want to have a different song at the top next christmas, so more people are gonna be spread out over different groups going for different songs, rather then one song.

I agree with the ramstein geezer. Next year hopefully they won’t use a Cyrus song.

Cyclone

Freezing Moon by Mayhem for christmas no.1 2010!

Carpe Jack

Yeah to be fair it’ll never happen again. If we do it every year then people will get fed up. And this time round there’s bound to be no less than a million facebook campaigns to get a millions different songs to the no1 spot. I think we should quit while we’re ahead.

Although Ian’s suggestion of WASP’s Fuck Like A Beast is rather tempting!! haha

agree with carpe jack though march of the pigs would be funny to here or the ever festive heresy

Luke (x)

im gonna put this out here, how about we make a christmas song number 1? i mean surely Metallica could get together and make a very metal version of Jingle Bells. or maybe Slayer could make a playful twist on one song and rename it Reindeer Blood?

Who gives a fuck what Manson thinks. I’m surprised he didn’t suggest one of his own songs. The wanker.

I can’t believe that you are all trying to hijack such a religious and sacred period.

Don’t you remember that Christmas is about the birth of Christ our Lord and his memory should be at the forefront of all celebrations

….as such and in his honour – I suggest Lamb of God and Redneck…..yeah motherfuckeeeeerrsss!!!!!

How about we just kill Simon Cowell?

Skullcrusher666

Damn lots of Manson bashing going around.

Great idea, though DEFINATELY Slayer next year please, Manson.

Destroying Dignity

if it is to be a yearly thing then it can only realistically be a band’s most famous song, so for NIN it would have to be closer or hurt.

and since when has christmas been about the birth of christ, he was born in september apparently!

What ifif two metalheads walked onto the X factor, took off their jumpers revealing Machine Head, Pantera etc t-shirts and blurted out… FUCKING HOSTILE!!!!!! That would be real music battering the pop industry again!

Moshtank

rage paved the way with killing in the name of for xmas No1
but now the barriers are down lets put some REAL metal in at No1
like…Motorhead???, Metallica???, Maiden????
or even Sabbath??….

How about Iron Man by Black Sabbath?? Fucking ace I say!

Gay Bar for 2010 obviously. That would have the best shot i think

not NIN shit no, i agree with metallica, maiden and sabbath, or manson should win it himself and have the king of goth no. 1 at one of the biggest religous holidays of the year i also would laugh my head off if rammstein would win the british charts at christmas that would be epic how pissed would simon be then,

Canadian

raining blood!

raining blood!

imo the decision should be made early. and it should clearly be raining blood!

wwaaallter

marilyn manson is the best -metallica-maiden-rage against the machine-system-all shit
