Guns N' Roses frontman Axl Rose tore into President Trump on Sunday night for playing their music at his political rallies after they formally requested him not to.
Rose took to Twitter to vent his frustrations about his music being played at Trump-associated events.
"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. "Can u say “shitbags?!”
Rose said that he thought it was "ironic" that Trump supporters were listening to "anti-Trump music" at his campaign rallies.
"But I don’t imagine a lot of ‘em really get that or care," he added.
Several musicians have instructed Trump not to use his songs during his rallies, including Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Twisted Sister, Elton John and members of Prince's estate.
Pharrell Williams reportedly sent Trump a cease and desist warning after his song, "Happy," was played at a rally just hours after the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
The rock icon, who is currently also the lead singer of AC/DC, has been a frequent critic of the president on social media.
He continued to call out the Trump administration, the majority of the Republicans in Congress and their donors, saying they are dong the nation a “disservice.”
“We have an individual in the WH that will say (and) do anything (without) regard for truth, ethics, morals, or empathy of any kind, who says what’s real is fake (and) what’s fake is real.”

Erkel would still kick Axl’s ass!
[If the venue paid for the license, it’s not a loophole, it’s a contract.]
Exactly. This is just to cover their liberal street cred asses.
“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.

“Craven Political purposes”. What a joke. Trump is just playing some music from a bunch of idiots. Making a big fuss about that perfectly legit activity is done, IMHO, with a craven political purpose.
Look in the mirror U2.
Whine a little more, Axl. Ya big pusi.
As long as he’s paying ASCAP Axl has no say in it.
“Simple solution: Don’t play it.”
F that. The more libtards get their panties in a twist, I’m all in.
Play Welcome to the Jungle next time in a loop to piss off Axl..
.... Damn .... Luv Gun’s n Roses ...... Maybe they should take heed ..... and listen to their own “November Rain” ..... Almost prophetic statement .... “Walking Away”
see my post. Same here. Play Dead Horse 100 times in a row ...
Don’t these has beens realize they’re missing out on record sales?
So if someone has something that was written to be more godly, how in the world does one get Trump’s consideration of that material?
When it comes to Christ, we need to be willing to go all the way. Donald will show gay flags at his rallies. What would it take to get something like this played?

“Hey Dickbag, you still cashed the check right?”
Yes, he did. Now he’s going to be an a #attentionwhoring #dramaqueen to get more publicity for himself and his music.
Bake the cake.
rotflmao
Axl was always a punk. He was real tough as long as he had plenty of security, But on his own he is just another loud mouth bitch. And yes I was around back in the day to see it
Don’t these dolts realize that if Trump is playing their music legally and they make a big deal about it, he’ll only play it more and more? Don’t f**k with The Donald.
(((YAWN))) Good. Too much friggin’ noise with snowflake screaming sounds.
I don’t really care for music from the bastard faction anyway. It’s so ‘80s.
“Wrote a song about it,
Like to hear it?
Here it Goes,,,,”
LMAO!!
Trump's the rubber, you're the glue.
Everything bounces off of him and sticks to you.
Hey, I can do "school yard" if they want to go there.
Moron!
When I buy a record, I can play it whenever I like.
Having said that, he is a no talent, overrated hack anyways. Given that at least half his sales provably come from Trump fans, who now regret having purchased his rubbish, we’d appreciate it very much if he’d return our moneys in return for his crap.
