The thing is that PMO is correct in that choosing something completely off mainstream would have been ideal but then I'm damn sure many would not have downloaded it due to not knowing the band which confirms the view I had at the RATM release which is that despite all the bleating and elitism in proclaiming that you have different tastes, you are no better than those you are trying to usurp and your musical views are just as narrow minded as the rest.

A distorted guitar and a swear word doesn't automatically make you open minded and yes Sony are laughing their ass off as they own both artists one way or another.

I do admire the fact that people power is still strong and that people are out there willing to stand up and go against the mainstream but if ever there was an explanation for the word oxymoron then this is it.
