Rage Against The Machine To Play Free UK Gig If They Are Number 1 This Sunday!
Get your copy by 23:59 tonight (Saturday, December 19th) and we’ll get a free RATM show. This is not speculation, these are the words of Mr Tom Morello! Do the right thing and download your copy here.
RATM guitarist Tom Morello has promised the UK a free show if we all do our bit to ensure that ‘Killing In The Name’ is UK number 1 this Sunday.
The full statement from Morello reads: “Attention Freedom Fighters! RAGE VS. X-FACTOR WILL BE DECIDED BY SATURDAY’S SALES. Spread the word! Knock on doors! Host downloading parties! Knock over ladies buying X-Factor! The clock is ticking. And if “Killing in the Name” is number one WE ARE COMING. And it will be the victory party to end all victory parties.”
Even better, the official line from the band says that they will invite Simon Cowell to MC the event. How kick-ass would that be?!
There are no excuses, people. The profits of the single are going to charity and this is your chance to take a stand against the karaoke bull-shit that we’re force-fed every bloody year. The chance to take the power back has arrived, do the right thing and download your copy here.

follow this link for steps to download it for FREE of 5 different versions and have it count towards the charts! Even if you already downloaded it, use this info to get more to get Rage the number 1 they deserve!!!
i think i’m gonna download a second copy. thing is, if they play a free show then what are the bets that it’ll be in london? petition for a UK tour anyone?
Any ideas where/when the gig will be?
I agree with GK, it should be a string of shows going over the UK (and whole UK that is too, not 4 dates). I dont mind if I have to pay. London might be a tad too far to go for a gig for me, despite it being free and RATM.
I know this is off topic, but where is the latest podcast?
I hope this would be very soon!!
ok i fannly bought it!!!! god!!!
lol
Bought it 5 times =P
They’d have to make it a huge event to allow everyone in. Man, I’d love to be there
If you buy multiple copies then it might get stripped from the charts Ramsden you tit :]
Heres hoping they come to the rest of the UK and Ireland too
i got 2 cfopies. so fingers crossed it will get #1 especially with all the snow
profits go to charity and a free gig. rage rule.
I’ve done my bit, bought it yesterday.
I think RATM are even better for the fact that the money is going to charity aswell.
RATM for No.1
Don’t buy the song multiple times as it’ll lead to your purchase not counting towards the chart!!
I decided to stop being a cynical cunt and downloaded it. If they’re going to just do the one UK show they could at least make it at Download or something.
Wow, I hope I can get a ticket or a place or whatever.
gig should be in dublin!
im sure that they mean they will be playing very soon – within the week i bet at the o2.
please god make RATM win! it will be the most awsome thing to have ever happened, the gig will probably be in london, hard for me to get to
Just read some crap in the sun about how whats-his-name heard Killing in the Name and commented ‘It is dreadful and I hate it. How can anyone enjoy this?’
I must admit before reading that I had nothing against the guy; he did nothing wrong – I just wanted something else at number one. But if he’s gonna be that ignorant he can fuck right off. I can appreciate why people like his music despite the fact that I don’t.
But like I said before. He can just fuck right off now.
I want a UK concert so bad, PLEASE buy it
If it is in London and in the next few weeks then i have no chance from being up in Scotland. A UK tour where we payed would be good, i wouldn’t mind and i would only have to go to glasgow!!!!!
Yeah they should play Download… because that way I know I’ve got a ticket. No more Leeds festival selling out quicker than time it’s self.
Contributed 7 downloads, from Play, Amazon and my 5 Nokia Music Accounts! Hope Rage win! Tomorrow will be so intense!
manchester please manchester !
I’ll try and make it wherever it is they decide to play. I already have the album and, I’ve bought the single download on principle because I am sick and tired of people being force fed shitty music. I hope RATM get the number 1 spot as they’ve paid there dues, not someone who has been singing just over 3 months.
Things are looking good on the download charts, as several versions of ‘Killing in the Name’ are making their way into the top 20. If people want to buy more than one copy from each online store, then go for the live version, as it will still be counted (and it’s an awesome performance). There is a very high chance of this working.
I’ll throw in another vote for Manchester as the venue for the celebratory gig.
Get downloading, we can do this!
hope they play near me and i hope simon cunt comes on stage so we can throw heavy objects at him like bricks
this is my favorite band in history….i don’t care how far I have to travel I am GOING TO SEE THEM
Well, it’s all done now. Nothing to do but pray, we were about 9000 ahead last I heard.
have they reformed? x
yeah also in the sun he is throwing darts at the lead singers face on a dart board… as well as saying the song is rubbish…. ooo i hate him even more give it a year and he will come out gay anyway as its obvious he is
Rage Against the Machine VS X-Factor is about more than Cowell or Sony BMG
http://justjuiced.wordpress.com/2009/12/18/rage-against-the-machine-vs-x-factor-is-about-more-than-cowell-or-sony-bmg/
I reckon it will either be London.
OR wherever Jon the group leader’s from, either way if they do win and play over here it would not surprise me if Jon gets put on the guest list or at least invited to meet the band while they’re here.
He did start the campaign after all.
ratm are hypocrites! how can they insult another capitalist when they are one themselves. they are both with sony- what an independant company. They gain millions if it gets to number one- for doing nothing. Only a bit is for charity. The song is irrelevant, could of act recorded something. Yes Joe is *, just dont buy it, we have to put an end to this scam!
london’s practically the best option, it’s accessable for practically everyone. i live right down in southampton, and would still be willing to catch a million trains to go to the gig.
I’ve just found your site and i’ll be returning
Great stuff!
THEY DID IT!!!!
SUCCESS!! About fuckin time!
Eat that Simon Cowell!! Fantastic job peeps, RATM ARE XMAS NO.1!!!
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WE FUCKIN’ DID IT! \m/(><)\m/
Get In.
A victory for real music .
being at london isn’t the issue for me…. its the fuckers that haven’t purchased the single going along and celebrating like they have on a free ride
Gutted that I’ll not be able to go.
Odd’s on it’ll be in London, and I don’t have the money or the time to get from Dundee to London
Yes we’ve done it!.
Not only is this a kick in the face to the likes of X-Factor and the alike but also to those naysayers like NME, who tried to rubbish it!
Well done to all those who took part in the campaign!
.
PLEASE LONDON RATM PLEASE
OMG WE DID IT
this actually has made my christmas. it has renewed mt faith in humanity.

i Think they should play wembley stadium then they could fit loads of people and it has a roof so no cold snow
Hyde Park or something like that? id be willing to make the trip from pompey
They should play a private gig to every household that bought a copy of it.
