With just a few hours remaining before the winner is decided at the close of today's sales, Rage Against The Machine has announced it will play a huge free concert in the U.K. to celebrate a victory as the clock ticks on the historic people's campaign to beat Simon Cowell for Britain's No. 1 Christmas single to raise money and awareness for homelessness.
If the unprecedented grassroots movement to topple Cowell's X-Factor monopoly is successful and the band's single, "KILLING IN THE NAME" finishes No. 1 on the Christmas Week UK pop charts over Cowell protιgι Joe McElderry's "The Climb," the group vows to return to U.K. shores sometime in 2010 for the massive "thank you" gig
. and invite 2nd Place finisher and X-Factor impressario Simon Cowell to MC the show!
Rage guitarist Tom Morello issued the following statement: Attention Freedom Fighters! RAGE VS. X-FACTOR WILL BE DECIDED BY SATURDAY'S SALES. Spread the word! Knock on doors! Host downloading parties! Knock over ladies buying X-Factor! The clock is ticking. And if 'Killing in the Name' is No. 1, WE ARE COMING. And it will be the victory party to end all victory parties."
