RAtM Pulled From Radio After 4 F-Bombs

It feels just like the nineties again doesn't it. The week of Rage Against the Machine continues with their being pulled from a live performance on BBC Radio Five.

There are unconfirmed reports that it is possibly the most interesting thing to ever happen on Radio Five, but more on that later.

The band were performing a live version of their potential Christmas number one single "Killing in the Name" on Nick Campbell's breakfast show on Radio Five Live this morning (Dec 17) at 9am when the 'incident' occurred.

Before, the band spoke briefly about their feelings on the campaign to put them at number one ahead of X-Factor winner Joe McLovin with his karaoke version of Miley Cyrus performance of a song written by someone else... "The Climb". Asked not to swear live on air, Zach de la Rocha initially complied, performing the refrain as "I won't do what you tell me".

Evidently realising the emerging irony, he soon injected some F-bomb goodness into the song and managed to get four in before a panicked producer could be heard screaming "get rid of it" over the air.

She then continued: "Sorry we needed to get rid of that, it's something we weren't expecting. We asked them not to do it and they did it anyway. Buy Joe's record!" Hmm producer-lady, is almost like they refuse to do what you tell them, never saw that one coming did you!

Why listen to us describe it, as usual, YouTube has the full performance. 8:30 in is where it gets interesting:

You'd never get this kind of thing from an X-Factor winner!
