Richey on Rage against the Machine

[Lindseyn]

I keep seeing the group on Facebook to get Rage against the Machine to xmas no. 1, and I remember vaguely Richey talking about them, does anyone have the interview, as it's annoying me that I can't remember what it was about lol.

Yeah: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhCRD803ODY
He may have talked about them elsewhere as well, but that's the one that I know of.

[starfucker]

From that quote I get the impression he didn't know enough about them to form a fully rounded opinion. But to be fair they hadn't been around that long when he said that.

Yeah, that is probably the lamest thing I've seen this past month. The person in charge of it, who wants to stop the X Factor winner getting to number 1, points out that the line 'fuck you, I won't do what you tell me' seems appropriate when it's in fact him who's telling people what to do, the prick.

It kinda backs up the point Richey makes about the line in that video. Of all the causes in the world, all that fan is bothered about raging against is Simon Cowell's ego. The line therefore once again caters to the lowest common denominator in the same way Jedward do. What a waste of space.

To be fair, as a music fan, I believe it is well worth raging against the rollback of the singer/songwriter revolution that X-Factor and the like are undertaking.

[1986]

All the X Factor is doing is trying to find a way for the industry to make money from music since the majority of people don't buy records any more (once a year 'protests' excepted)

It just replaces "The Pop Factory" and anything that Keeps Stock, Aitken and Waterman out of my life is fine by me.

Richey's right of course! RATM, or at least their fans are just lazy "boo capitalism" cretins.

Also:

"I still collect Manic Street Preachers stuff, even though they are more of a pop band now and lost the element of danger" ACEY SLADE

I just looked him up on youtube.
What gives this whiney emo turdbag a right to call anyone else a pop band?

He does not need the right, merely the ability to make an accurate observation.

[Mr Richey]

Fucking hillarious when Nicky tries to push Richey off the wall - 'Get down there, go for it!!'

[Napoleon Bonaparte]

That RATM quote is full on Manics propaganda machine isn't it

He probably loved'em
