They would be awesome. Played in 94 but Eavis probably sees them as too heavy or something these days, shame really.

Well it doesn't matter because according to Joe Mcelderry they are "dreadful" and wouldn't make it through x factors boot camp.

I doubt Rage will make it but at least it's made it interested this year.

Saw this quote from him on t'internet;

"I will be really disappointed if it doesn't go to No1 after all the effort I've put in to this and winning the show."

All the effort? Love to see how he'd cope driving round the country in a transit for years playing to 2 men and a dog. Spoilt little p***k.

Oh FFS

Just leave Joe alone, he hasn't done anything wrong. He's not like, satan or someone like that. I'm sure if it were another person you would be saying the same thing.

I dislike X Factor yes, but I think that the best way of pissing off simon cowell is by ignoring it and not giving him all this free publicity. The sooner this thing ends the better.

He's a wee jobby, coming out moaning that he's worked hard and deserves to be no 1.

[BlackHole2006]

True the best way to piss off Cowell is to ignore him, but that will never happen thus the opposite cause to aim for (along with all its hypocrisies)

The point most people seem to be making isn't directly relevant to the X factor, just the fact that this guy claims to have worked worked hard for it, and calls a band which did a lot for music to be dreadful, when he is going to do piss all for it. It seems a bit like a man who won a million pounds on who wants to be millionaire then claiming it was hard work (and not just simply a competition i.e the easy road) and then saying that joe bloggs who earned his millions the conventional way by working f**king hard is shit for doing so.

Yeah it would apply to anyone who said those things and didn't just shut the f**k up (or reply professionally, no comment or not my thing) but in this case it's this prepubescent puppet who said it so yeah he is going to get shit for it.

[paolo55]

Yes what a cock for stating how he feels about something that is happening to him.

Yeh but (and I know this will sound bad) he went through all he auditions and stuff and worked hard to get to where he is now. RATM have too, but I can't really comment on them having only listened to a couple of tracks, but I do know that their music for the worlds angstiest teenagers (the lyric, f**k YOU I wont do what you tell me points me to this) The truth is Joe is only stating his feelings on something that is happening to him at this moment in time. Put yourself in Joes position, Getting to number one means more to him than it does to RATM, because they are already a very sucsesfull band.

Yes what a cock for stating how he feels about something that is happening to him.

I definitely see your point like, but I'm always going to be naturally biased against those awful programs and the stuff they spew out. In 10 programs (for arguments sake) of that style there have been 3 successful people (Will Young, Girls aloud and Leona Lewis), yet every year they're heralded as better than the last one. He's done half a dozen auditions and 1 day a week of singing live for 10 weeks, that is an indivisible fraction of that amount of work most artists have to do, it's undeniably a fast track for those who are easy to market.

As corny as it might be their angst ridden lyrics probably have helped a load of self loathing and 'misunderstood' teens as well as provided general enjoyment to others, but more importantly they altered Punk to create Nu-metal (while you may not like nu-metal bar one or two bands I'm not the biggest fan) but laying the ground work for a new genre of music is rather influential
