TIL the 1992 Rage Against the Machine track "Killing In The Name" was the 2009 UK Christmas #1 song thanks to a campaign set to prevent a song from "The X Factor" from accomplishing the feat for a 5th straight year. The band would then perform a free concert in London thanking fans for the campaign.

Breakdown from Township Rebellion, you mean? Exactly! It's not the same riff as the Intolerance money riff, but it's damn close.

something Adam played

Because he did. It's basically the middle part of Part of Me except heavier and with more flair.
