Bands reuniting?

So I heard that Soundgarden is reuniting. That in itself is kinda awesome. But there's more for all you late 90's rock fans:

Rage Against the Machine have agreed to play a free concert in England to celebrate their winning the UK singles chart race over christmas, thanks to a fan internet campaign to promote "Killing in the Name of". They actually donated all of their proceeds from the UK single sales to charity.

Also from what I've read it's kind of a big thing to win the Christmas singles chart title in the UK, and was even parodied in the movie "Love Actually".

Here's a list of Christmas UK singles chart winners from over the years. Lately it's been all pop, but Queen and the Beatles have won in the past too.

And here's a link to the live BBC performance that Rage did for the BBC. Yeah, some parts were apparently cut out from the live show.

Now if only Nirvana could somehow put their differences aside and get back together...

I think "all you late 90's rock fans" means me.
