SuBo’s Raging!
Posted on March 30th, 2010 at 10:52 am by
Rebellious rockers Rage Against The Machine have offered to bury the hatchet with Simon Cowell by collaborating with that famous headbanger Susan Boyle.
OK, maybe SuBo’s no metalhead, but RATM are definitely keen to perform with the Scottish singer during their Finsbury Park gig this June.
Rage famously robbed the Christmas number one spot from Simon’s X-Factor protegee Joe…(er what’s his name again, just going to have to google him…) McElderry after an internet campaign called for the public to download RATM’s Killing in the Name of instead. Apparently Simon was the one left raging!
But Rage frontman Zach de la Rocha doesn’t want any bad blood and says,
“I don’t think anybody has heard anything of that Joe guy since Christmas, but we have nothing against him.
“The truth is Simon’s shows occasionally produce talent.
“We love Susan Boyle, she is hot.
“To show there are no hard feelings we would like her to perform with us on stage this summer.
“She is a great vocalist and we would love to perform Killing In The Name with her. Everybody knows her in the US and she can add her vocals to anything. It would be an honour for us.” (Ooh, how creepy, but an interesting idea!)
SuBo banging out Elaine Paige’s finest while Zach screams swearwords over the top? Now that’s a gig I want to go to!
