Watch Rage Against The Machine's 'F*ck You' BBC Outburst Now

More Rage Against The Machine

Footage of Rage Against The Machine's live performance on BBC Radio 5 Live this morning has published online.

The video, which has been edited to remove the band's controversial four-letter ouburst, can be seen here.

The early morning performance forced the BBC to apologise after singer Zack De La Rocha ignored requests to sing a clean version of 'Killing In The Name'.

At the end of the live broadcast, the programme's producer could be be heard calling for the audio feed to the band's LA studio to be cut.

“Sorry we needed to get rid of that, it's something we weren't expecting,” she told listeners.

Rage Against The Machine's song has emerged as an unlikely contender to claim this year's Christmas number one spot.

It follows a Facebook campaign calling for people to buy the single in favour of X Factor winner's Joe McElderry's cover of 'The Climb'.

So they promised not to swear and did it anyway? Let's hope they will keep their promise and give the money to the shelter.

You're a tool, they did that because they don't like being told what to do, like we all don't like being told what is good music by some idiot on TV. It was a brilliant point and added further weight to the cause. They have campaigned for years for the underpriveldged all over the world so to suggest they might take the money this time is ignorant as hell, they are not like Cowell and isn't that point??

Yeah they have a history of charity work both as a group and individually. Considering the lyric, it should have been obvious LOL!
