BangoSkank Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I am really not trying to start political fights, I am just very surprised. Out of sheer morbid curiosity I watched some of Trump's rally in Montana. Jump to 11:40 - Is this actually playing in the venue? I cannot imagine Axl & Co. agreed to it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

prez Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I'm sure Axl didn't approve, but he doesn't have to as long as they pay royalties. Many acts (Elton John, Aerosmith, Neil Young, R.E.M.) have complained about Trump using their music. They play "You Can't Always Get What You Want" at the end of Trump's speech and I'm sure the Stones didn't sign off on that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Holographic Universe Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I find it pointless that musicians care that their songs are played at political events. It affects absolutely nothing. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Springsteen, Mellencamp, and a few others have asked that politicians not play their music at rallies and gotten it removed. I was expecting Axl to do the same.

uruguns Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 (edited) It's odd because it doesn't sound like the song is actually playing in the venue. It's as clear as if someone at CBS put the record on. But what do I know. Edited July 6, 2018 by uruguns 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gnrcane Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Political rallies probably have some sort of loophole like how politicians can call numbers on the do not call list for fundraising. The artist can request a song not be used but I'm not sure if they can force it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeman5150 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 It sounds to me that’s its just something CBSN added to the segment. Nothing to do with the actual rally. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its coming from the venue. The sound is coming from a soundboard and the SB operator killed the mic and played SCOM. Thats why it sounds like it was added overtop.

It affects absolutely nothing. It affects their image. If you were a musician and your music was being played at a Nazi rally, and then people thought you were a Nazi, would you still feel like it affected nothing?
