When Rage Against The Machine performed 'Killing In The Name' on BBC Radio 5 Live Thursday morning (17 Demember), censors got more than they bargained for and were forced to cut the song during the expletive-laden crescendo.

Courtesy of the DC3 Music Group, however, which was filming the live feed, you can watch the entire performance here (see below).

Thanks to a Facebook campaign, Rage Against The Machine is locked in a tight battle against X Factor winner Joe McElderry's version of Miley Cyrus's The Climb for Britain's No. 1 Christmas single.

X Factor producer Simon Cowell (who claims to have never heard Killing In The Name prior to the campaign) has protested the movement, calling it 'Scrooge-like.' But the members of Rage Against The Machine have been more than happy to go up against the media mogul.
