Bjork was performing before RATM at the Big Day Out last year and many of the Rage fans in their impatience were frankly pretty fucking obnoxious... they were throwing objects into the Bjork crowd, insulting her performance and being pretty rowdy in general. So if the Rage fans prefer to acquit themselves as rambunctious louts who cling onto their precious hackneyed 90s anthem and can't stomach anything from outside their small spheres without throwing tantrums, then they're no better than anyone/anything X-Factor related.
Not that I care whether this plan actually works out or not... I wouldn't deny them their small victory. I just think it's a pity Rage's modern fanbase is like that because I actually like the band.
