He’s got Toys in the Attic.........................
If steve is getting royalties, he should be happy and stfu!
Too bad.
I listen to a lot of foreign music. I don’t know their politics, which allows me to simply enjoy the music without remembering what they said about this or that politician, or issue, or what they said about me.
Actors, musicians, artists in general, make a big mistake when they step out from behind their art to be overtly political. Let your art speak for you, it crosses barriers that politics can’t cross. The minute you step out from behind your art, you lose your ability to really communicate and most of the time, you never get it back.
Most large venues have an ASCAP license and have paid the appropriate fee. (yearly) It pretty much gives them free reign to play current music available in their territory. If you hear it on the radio, you can play it at the venue.
And sending a letter is symbolic. Aerosmith’s legal team would know if there was a violation and would be sending a lawsuit.
Sorry, Steven.
Play Motorhead instead.
Trump bought it at Dollar General
Steve Tyler wants at least 63 million Americans know he does not want them to listen to his music,
.
Roger that
Steven Tyler is still alive??? I thought he died about 20 years ago.
What a dork.
He sold the rights and now wants to control the use.
Rush plays a Pretenders’ song every day he’s on the air, and they don’t like it.
Too bad.
Now recordings one sells on the open market should be made unavailable to anyone whom the seller dislikes? It might be proper practice of freedom to refuse to do business with someone in whom you find disgust. Like queers who insist you bake them a cake celebrating their sin.
I want to see Steven Tyler make a fuss about the right to discriminate against certain potential customers.
The father of Liv Tyler wants we should consider him relevant?
He looks Gay...
Even if Tyler wasn’t within his rights to request Trump cease and desist, why would Trump want to keep using a song when the songwriter doesn’t want him to?
Maybe Trump should make him bake a cake instead. :)
Way back when I was in radio, the station had to pay BMI, ASCAP, and SESAC fees for the license to play music published/licensed by those three agencies.
If you didn’t pay, and played one of their tunes, you could be fined out the ying-yang for it.
If that still applies, then people who do pay the publishing/performance fees should be able to fine, or sue, the artist for non-compliance with the contract if he/she refuses to let you play their song(s).
Contracts are usually a two-way street.
He can go suck on a big ten inch....record.
Is his record label still paying roadies so snip samples of his hair so they can be drug tested?
Before the internet, their managers and the media were able to control what were said or printed about them.
