Rose, whose band played Sunday in the Philippines, fired back at Trump on Twitter.
“Um...actually...it’s a lack of federal funding that’s at the ‘root’ of the purported forest mismanagement. Only a demented n’ truly pathetic individual would twist that around n’ use a tragedy to once again misrepresent facts for attempted public/political gain at other’s expense,” the 56-year-old singer wrote.
This isn’t the first time Rose has taken issue with Trump. Days before last week’s midterm elections, Rose tweeted that he’d formally asked the President to refrain from using Guns N' Roses songs at political rallies.
“Just so ya know… GNR like a lot of artists opposed to the unauthorized use of their music at political events has formally requested r music not b used at Trump rallies or Trump associated events.”
It seems the request was not respected.
“Unfortunately the Trump campaign is using loopholes in the various venues’ blanket performance licenses which were not intended for such craven political purposes, without the songwriters’ consent,” Rose wrote in a followup tweet. ‘Can u say “sh—bags?!”’
Fellow metalheads Tommy Lee from Motley Crue and Sebastian Rock of the band Skid Row also shouted out their protests to No. 45’s reaction to the fires, which have killed 25 people, forced 300,000 Californians from their homes and singed 83,000 acres of land.
“Can you be any more insensitive you ----ing moron?” Lee tweeted.
Bach called the President the “most USELESS human being to ever walk the Planet Earth” on Twitter.

I do like the words
Radicals and Racists
Don’t point your finger at me
i’m a small town white boy
just trying to make ends meet
don’t need your religion
dont watch that much TV
just making my living
and that’s enough for me
Besides the line about religion, he’s essentially describing many Trump supporters.
Me included.
And if he’s talking about those TV preachers with a donation phone number at the bottom, he’s right about religion too.
I don’t think Rose should talk about anything except perhaps losing his mind after only 4 (incredible) albums and wanting to write mushy, BS love/glam ballads.
Slash, whose father is British I believe you are right, and wealthy, just wanted to play rock n roll and wanted no part of the big, loong, stupid MTV video songs Axl wanted to pump out.
Then he took 15 years to make one TERRIBLE album
So yeah, no, he shouldn’t talk about ANYTHING.
The old saying about keeping your mouth shut and letting people THINK you’re an idiot...etc
Wow. I’m going to read what this qualified authority has to say about Trump.
Probably not.
I have no wrinkles, which helps a lot.
Has Axl quit doing drugs?
If he has, good for him.
The brain will heal eventually.
5.56mm
I don’t have many. 8>)
Country Boy Can Survive did it much better.
It’s nice to be rich and spout yer crap eh Axl?
Wow.
Well there are two different artists :)
