The Rolling Stones Tell Donald Trump to Stop Playing Their Music at Rallies

[DesertRat]

You can add The Rolling Stones to the list of artists who want Donald Trump to pull the plug on their music during his campaign events.

The legendary British rockers have "never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately," a spokesperson said in a statement obtained by NBC News.

The presumptive Republican presidential nominee has been soundtracking his events with at least two Stones songs — "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Start Me Up" — since launching his White House bid almost a year ago.

"Start Me Up" was most recently played on Tuesday night, when Trump celebrated his Indiana primary win at Trump Tower in New York City.

Meanwhile, Neil Young, Aerosmith's Steven Tyler, Everlast (the former House of Pain frontman) and British songstress Adele have also scolded the real estate tycoon for using their tunes.

4. Who would that be?

[Warren DeMontague]

5. This happens every 4 years, because right wing musicians suck.

Its been going on every since Springsteen told Reagan to stop using "Born in the USA"

6. I remember when Heart lambasted Palin

for using "Barracuda".

I guess Trump could use Ted Nugent's "Cat Scratch Fever". That would suit him better.

8. Someone, i forgot who- maybe trump- tried to use R.E.M.

Talk about not being familiar with a band's politics.

9. Yes, that was Trump

R.E.M. frontman Michael Stipe was particularly angry at Trump, whose campaign rallies have provoked protests across the country, and other politicians during this election cycle. The band's hit, "It's the End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)," was played at a tea part rally last September as Trump took the stage.
"Do not use our music or my voice for your ... moronic charade of a campaign," Stipe said on social media at the time.
