Axl Rose is not happy at all about Trump playing "Sweet Child o' Mine" at his "MAGA rallies"...

[Miles Archer]

After President Donald Trump used the Guns N' Roses hit "Sweet Child o' Mine" at a rally in West Virginia Friday, the band "formally requested" he stop using their music, and frontman Axl Rose posted his about the incident in a series of tweets.

“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," Rose tweeted in the wee hours of Sunday morning.

"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," adding "Can u say ‘shitbags?!’💩."

They just like the catchy background music.

8. These singers/bands sign away their rights to their music for MONEY.

And then they pretend to be outraged about what happens to their music. Not buying it.

23. How these "Blanket License" deals work in the music industry.

https://www.thebalancecareers.com/blanket-license-in-the-music-industry-2460916

Everyone wants to get paid for their work.

[former9thward]

24. And they should be paid.

And they are being paid. More power to them. But it is hypocrisy to then complain about who uses that music when they agreed to let it be used. The Rolling Stones sold their music in 1981 and they still pretend to be outraged when someone uses it. They say "we will look into it". What they are looking at is their bank account.
