Axl Rose: Guns N' Roses has told Trump not to play our music at his rallies

At least KISS is pro US, pro servicemen and veterans.

[nicollo]

Axl is just trying to sell more songs.

Mick Jagger knows the routine. Bitch about the use and cash the check:

Donald Trump: “We have the rights to use” Rolling Stones songs
https://www.cbsnews.com/news/donald-trump-we-have-the-rights-to-use-rolling-stones-songs/

Trump has likely made more money for the Stones on that one song than the Stones have earned from anything they’ve released in the last 15 years.

[Vendome]

Really?

I love singing “Dead or Alive”

Shocks people to see someone in a suit or sport coat and looks like he belongs in a boardroom belt out an awesome rendition

Heck, I’ll even sing Big Balls or Hells Bells.

Fun songs

They all liked DJT until he prevented corrupt AF Hillary Clinton from becoming unaccountable all powerful leader of the Western world.

[SamAdams76]

See? This is the best way to rattle the Left.

Many times I read here on how we need to boycott this artist or that artist over what they say politically.

Well that's exactly what they WANT you to do. They don't want us conservatives listening to their precious music.

I say the opposite. If you like the music of one of these artists, play it loudly while announcing that you are a conservative and are 100% behind Trump. It will annoy them to no end.

Rush Limbaugh had the right idea. Now whenever I hear "My City Was Gone" by The Pretenders on the radio, I now expect to hear the voice of Rush Limbaugh breaking into it. For years, the record company tried to get him to stop using it, to no avail.

[lee martell]

I think you’re right about that. Mr. Trump knows how to troll and provoke without directly saying a word.
“Let him squeak and squawk till he’s hoarse, I don’t care.
He can say what he wants to say!”

[Bommer]

It’s called the record companies own the rights and part it out like a whore of the money is there. Ask Chrissy Hines how her cease and desist worked with Rush Limbaugh?

[rdcbn]

Trump probably called Rose and told him to object. Both get the publicity, Trump gets the issue and Rose gets see a big spike in record sales and remind the public he is still alive.

[blueplum]

it’s a slam on snowflakes

[mdittmar]

Hey Axl,Guns N' Roses - Sweet Child O' Mine;)

[greeneyes]

Good. I'm glad he's ticked off. That's how I feel every time I read about some trans-gender bathroom crop, or Satanic Temple is a real religion and not a cult.

Schadenfreude.

[FrdmLvr]

Please, President Trump your many fans would appreciate you not playing his music.

[Hugin]

They can’t tell Trump not to play it, they can only ask him not to. And he can ignore them as long as they get royalties. That’s not a loophole, that’s how publishing rights work.

[Tired of Taxes]

Legally Trump can play their music, but that’s just giving them money and publicity.

He should choose music from artists who either support him or, at least, aren’t making public statements against him.

[libh8er]

Or this .

meanwhile John Lydon ticks off the lefties while on his 40th anniversary PiL tour (2018).

2017

The former Sex Pistols frontman, who became a U.S. citizen in 2013, said on ITV’s “Good Morning Britain” that Mr. Trump is “a complicated fellow” but doesn’t deserve being labeled a racist by his liberal opponents.

“What I dislike is the left-wing media in America are trying to smear the bloke as a racist, and that’s completely not true,” the 61-year-old said. “There’s many, many problems with him as a human being, but he’s not that, and there just might be a chance something good will come out of that situation, because he terrifies politicians.”

[Mark17]

Simple solution: Don’t play it. Why is he playing crappy, rotten stuff like that anyway?

I agree. I am sure Lee Greenwood wouldn't mind them playing "God Bless the USA."

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Screeeeewwwwww them! I don’t have to listen to them if they’re going to be such assholes. If 0b0z0 was playing their stuff at rallies, they would probably just shrug.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Weeeeelllll, it might have been Tipper exercising “bedroom politics” that caused him to go off on that tangent.

[vmpolesov]

Haha yes he’s a loser! Been saying that for oh say 25 years
