They'd fill more of it than Joe would.
Artists like RATM may not be popular in the mainstream, but they usually have a loyal following. |

Oh let them continue to say silly things like this. I could do with daily comedy from those three.
![]() Ah well, maybe next year we should put their winner up against hmm, a song from Queen or another major big band. Then see what they say afterwards...

You'd be suprised. Faith No More managed to sell out every gig they played this year.
And for the same reasons, Rage fans who never got to see them in the begining would jump at the chance to see them again. I am not sure if tickets were on sale @ the festivals Rage played at in the UK before or after their announcment on the line up, but, I would put money on if it was after, that would have sold the festival! Of course just my opinion and comparison with other recent reunions ![]() |

Despite the no.1, I doubt Rage are that popular.
People come to see RAGE for the Rock and Alternative aspect. People go to see Joe... for Joe, not Pop music. |

To be fair Faith No More are alot better than RATM.
Last year, RATM headlined Reading & Leeds festival with The Killers and Metallica. This year, Faith No More headlined Reading & Leeds festival too.....................................on the Radio 1/NME stage, along with Gossip and Lostprophets. |

It's comments like this one and Simon's remark that Don't Stop Believing was a canny song choice by Joe because "it's not a particularly well-known song" (the most downloaded track in iTunes history, and that was before The X Factor) proves that they actually know or care very little about music.

As you say, the song was huge in America and by coming out with daft statements along the lines of "well choosing the Journey song was canny because not a lot of people know it," really does, as Tommy_tank said, prove that Cowell doesn't care or know a great deal about music. He shouldn't come out with sweeping generalisations like that at any rate - WHICH people was he talking about? The millions of Americans that know the lyrics to the song inside and out? The probably thousands of people in the UK that knew and liked the song before it was featured on the X Factor? I can certainly remember "Don't Stop Believin'" being quite a big radio song in the UK during the 90s - it was regularly played on "late night love" type programmes on local commercial stations when I was younger. |

To be fair, what you personally consider better or worse has little to do with popularity in the greater scheme of things.

walsh yet again proves himself to be totally unworthy of any respect. the bloke who brought us the most boring, talentless bunch of 'stars' ever has the audacity to pass incorrect comment on a real act like rage... makes me shudder..he should shut tf up and preferable crawl away with his acts and die..

They may have had something to do with their late announcement after being an "Exclusive and first reunion gig" for Donington (Even though they played Brixton the night before
)
