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?!💩."

(31,988 posts)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.
