Rage Against The Machine Asks Simon Cowell To Host Christmas Victory Gig
According to NME, Tom Morello has requested Simon Cowell to be the host of the band’s free UK victory gig next year.
The band beat ‘The Climb’ by Joe McElderry, the winner of this year’s Simon Cowell produced X-Factor show, by over 50,000 copies after fans Jon and Tracy Morter set up a Facebook group encouraging music lovers to challenge the series’ hold on the Christmas chart race by downloading the 1992 song Killing In The Name.
“The band is going to have a victory celebration here in Los Angeles at a local UK-style fish’n'chips pub on Tuesday night and we’ll probably be clinking glasses and drinking a toast to our great fans and comrades in the UK, but we may start getting some ideas together of when this is going to happen.”
