I guess Tyler doesn't want to let "the music do the talking."

[stars & stripes forever]

I don’t believe Aerosmith has any legal say on the usage of his song.

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

So, what are Steve Tyler’s politics, anyway?

(Yeah, yeah, I know, that’s not supposed to matter.)

[HiTech RedNeck]

The law should be clear, either he has obtained the license, or he fits in a fair use category, or none of that.

I don’t like lawfare but seems that Trump lawyers could hassle him a good one if he’s on defensible ground. It’s kind of an ironic parody, he’s saying that what these phonies claimed to mean in the song, he really means.

[Mamzelle]

I’d like to know the true worth of this cause of action. If Trump has purchased the music lawfully, why can’t he play it?

[TigersEye]

Let’s ask Joe Perry.

[Reno89519]

None of there business who plays their music

[GotMojo]

Steven Tyler...Dude looks like a lady

[mylife]

why would you use that song for a political run?

Trump is a goober

[max americana]

Joe Perry is a Republican haha what does HE think instead of you you clown...

[Baynative]

[Timber Rattler]

Tyler's lawyer's can send all the letters they want, but if Trump's campaign legally bought or rented the song from the media company that owns it, then tough hooey!

I remember the gals from Heart sending a similar letter to the McCain campaign after it started using 'Barracuda' for Palin.

[Huskrrrr]

Chrissie tried the same thing after Rush Limbaugh adopted “Back to Ohio” as his theme song (without the lyrics). Rush graciously removed the song. Turns out Chrissie’s parents were Dittoheads and the feud ended, the song reappeared on Rush’s show.

[ConservativeDude]

sorry, Aerosmith, unless you own the music, your opinion is ......just an opinion.

I’d wager that Trump’s campaign paid the royalty to the music publisher.....

[Pox]

More like an issue of “cash” from what I’ve read, and it’s not surprising.

Tyler is a registered Republican and was in attendance at the first GOP debate. I believe he and Trump are also on friendly terms.

Will be interesting to see how this plays out but I wonder if his bandmates are pressuring him to do this.

[mbrfl]

I hope Trump pulls the song immediately. That way, when Trump wins the nomination, and later the White House, Tyler will be able to see how irrelevant he is.

[Fungi]

You mean you can stop someone from playing a song on a speaker in a public gathering? Steve, go get a brain replacement along with those teeth you lost.

[SE Mom]

I completely get why Trump uses We’re Not Gonna Take It...it’s PERFECT for his message. Dream On? Not upbeat, uplifting musically and the lyrics...don’t really fit.

What am I missing?

[Fiji Hill]

The tunes Trump should be using at his events should be songs such as Good News by George Olsen or Somebody Like You by Jane Green.
