Rage Against The Machine Gives BBC The Finger (Seriously)
Just like their music, Rage Against The Machine's timeless attitude got them another controversial performance.
The band was performing their 1992 hit single "Killing In The Name" on Radio 5 Live, when vocalist Zack de la Rocha well, ended the song the way it's meant to be played.
RATM is going head to head with The X Factor's "Joe Mc'Whatever The Fuck He's Called" for the number 1 Christmas single spot. A Facebook group with over 900,000 (and counting) members are spreading the word that they want Rage's "Killing In The Name" as the #1 single.
The band is giving all profits to their charitable fight against homelessness, they even have PAUL MCCARTNEY on their side. Read more about the fight for tr00ness over at Rockpit (who are also credited for the video below)
All I can say is that, no matter how much time passes and how far these guys drift, give them a spot to perform and they'll blow you away.

Tom's smile right before they played the song, says it all.

Wut? Did BBC censor the "fuck you i wont do what you tell me" ending? was there some agreement to play some sort of clean version? idontgeddit...
The didn't censor it, thats why everyone got pissed off. THey faded it out after Zach has managed to get about 6 or 7 "fuck you.."'s off.
It was a moment in my life I'll never forget. It was an honour to actually talk to the band before they started playing....No.1 baby!!! Jon Morter x
