I don’t see taytays name
Did he ever use her music? If not, it wouldn’t make sense to tell him to stop.
Nothing wrong with a preemptive “don’t do it”
So… Based on #1 and #17, Prince came back from the dead to tell Trump to stop using his music, and then dropped dead again? Do I have that right?
Edit: oh, also David The God of Rock Bowie, and Kenny Rogers.
I think whoever owns the rights can do that, not necessarily the artist.
Strictly speaking, few if any of them retain their own rights to the music. Most are owned by the label. Look on any CD, official video, etc. You’ll see Copyright Sony Music, or Universal, etc.
It also means they probably can’t take legal action against Trump’s use of it.
Sure, but they specified The Estate of Tom Petty but the other three dead artists by name.
Also Happy Cakeday! 🍰🎂
Ok the amount of people voting you need to learn how to do a Will then cuz special types of Executors are appointed for after death to make such decisions. This is pretty common with people with even a moderate amount of success particularly if they have any type of asset or property (intellectual included) to have looked after that becomes part of an estate.
I had the same thought initially. I haven’t read the article, but assuming this picture isn’t fake they might be including artists from his last two campaigns. Rogers did in 2020, Bowie and Prince died in 2016
Nickelback? 😂
That must be the one he chose, not his staff
Hating on Nickelback is automatic down vote now. People like them now man, keep up
Some people…
It was clearly a joke anyway.
That being said, I’m not fussed about down votes tbh…
Just 30? Either the rest don’t care or they are hoping to profit off the publicity of saying “no” if the Trump campaign does use some of their music.
Like most “stars” they are more about themselves than the general good.
Jack White, Jack Black (Tenacious D) and many more unlisted
Ha ha. 15. Rage Against The Machine. Having visions of Trump arriving at the podium along with Killing In The Name
Would be nice to see a list of the specific songs that got the takedown issued and the date.
Mostly I’m just curious about Nickelback. In what political context are we using “Photograph”?
Abba - ???
Adele - "Skyfall and “Rolling in Deep”
Aerosmith- “Dream on” and “Living on the Edge”
A-ha - “Take me on”
The Animals - “House of the Rising Sun” and “We gotta get out of this place”

Beyonece - “Freedom”
Bruce Springsteen - “Born in the USA”
Celine Dion - “My heart will go on”
CCR - “Fortunate Son”
Earth Wind and Fire - “September”
Eddy Grant - “Electric Avenue”

Tom Petty - I won’t back down
Twisted Sister - We’re not gonna take it
Village People - YMCA and Macho Man
White Stripes - 7 nation army
Yoann Lemoine - Run boy run
love how halfway through you just gave up “quoting” the song names lol
I got lazy haha
…Does the campaign realize what House of the Rising Sun is about?
That’s not important. As long as the Voters don’t know or don’t care, it does the Job
Or “Keep on Rocking in the Free World”
Or “Fortunate Son”
Or “Born in the USA”
Or “Electric Avenue”
To be fair, completely missing the actual message of “Born in the USA” is a longstanding republican tradition.
Which is a bit surprising since that’s kind of hard to do.
no “Eminem - slim shady” on the list?
hmm, i wonder why they dont use it
They may as well play “The Hook,” by Blues Traveller just to round that list of irony out.
It was probably Rock star.
Apparently it was in fact photograph
Though I’m sure I’ve never heard that song…
My guess is… they got some one managing trumps twitter to post it so they could boost sales.
Because. I mean. Who’s actually listening to nickleback? And not, like, just at a strip club?
Even… Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the list?
Does someone have context on that entry? Not that I’m complaining - because I’m not.
" Trump “has not yet seen the video, he will see it shortly, but based upon everything he has heard, he strongly condemns this video.” "
Did he condemn it?
As vehemently as he’s condemned any other controversy he finds himself in 🙄
“Very fine people on both sides”
My wife showed me the lyrics to Sweet Home Alabama and damn if it didn’t seem to indicate that they’re left of their fans. Namely the lines
In Birmingham, they love the governor (boo, boo, boo!)
Now we all did what we could do
Now Watergate does not bother me, uh-uh
Does your conscience bother you? Tell the truthWhich I read as “we don’t all love our state’s politics, but also don’t blame us for the shit done by a president from California”
There’s a big sign outside Jacksonville on 295 that says “Trump listens to Lynyrd Skynyrd”
I can’t tell if that’s supposed an insult or a compliment nor for whom.
The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.
Have they actually used it or did Rage just say “don’t use our shit”?
I don’t know about the campaign itself, but his minions are fond of “Killing in the name of” being played in support of blue lives matter of all things and to convey their “Fuck your feelings” mantra.
I am amazed they don’t use Bulls on Parade…
I mean, “Some of those that work forces are the same that burn crosses” is probably a good thing from their point of view…
Lol this is fucking hilarious. This is on the level of the popo wearing punisher logos…just complete idiots
And the orange man’s campaign to RATM when told not to play their music: fuck you, I won’t do what you tell me.
the worst part isn’t even how paralyzingly stupid they are, it’s that they’re proud of that fact
Fucking Paul Ryan cited RATM as his favorite band. These are not smart people.
Not self-aware enough to understand they’re the machine the songs rage against.
Well, dumbass fucks also need representation. Too bad it’s like ~50% of the US.
I thought Bruce Springsteen told him no for “Born in the USA?” The list is so long, it is not surprising that it could be incomplete. Did Taylor Swift have to shut him down too?
I am just trying to picture Trump using “Killing in the Name of.”
I’m sure Mike Love of the Beach Boys didn’t mind Trump using their music. He’s a massive conservative douchebag.
Brian Wilson and Al Jardine have been pretty openly against the Orange One using their music. But yeah… Mike Love’s gonna Mike Love. Not sure why Bruce Johnston still associates with him.
Had to look them up to make sure I wasn’t talking up my ass, but using RATM, who apparently used anti-authoritarian and revolutionary lyrics, for a rally for someone looking to be a dictator is very ironic.
That type of mindless embracing of something you’re not really paying attention to, is typical right-wing mindlessness.
Check out the lyrics to Bruce Springsteen “Born In The USA” while keeping in mind that reagan used it in 1984 presidential election campaign rallies and even mentioned it in gushing, patriotic speech demagoguery, I believe. Never bothered to see what that song is actually about - Vietnam veterans abandoned by their own government and country, as the America they grew up in is decaying into the Rust Belt.
Trump playing Rage at a rally is on par with him asking Karl Marx to wake up and come speak.
Didn’t expect to see Skynard on there. Though my wife pointed out that while I have a mental tableau of their music the lyrics don’t reflect it
He makes music that appeals to the people who don’t understand the lyrics in music. Same story with people think Born in the USA by Bruce Springsteen is some patriotic song about how great the US of A is when it is the opposite.
You know Lynyrd Skynyrd is a band named after a gym coach and not an individual person like Bruce Springsteen rigbt?
I always forget it’s not A Guy
Also it sounds like their music is more anti coastal elitism, which is certainly an orange flag, but Sweet Home Alabama certainly looks to be a song of “quit blaming Alabama democrats for the actions of an Orange County republican president”.
? That song came put in the mid seventies. It was a response to a Neil Young song called southern man that trashed rednecks.
Class action power house lawsuit?
