So much winning - Lemmy.World

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”?

It was probably Rock star.

Apparently it was in fact photograph

Though I’m sure I’ve never heard that song…

Donald Trump's history of angering musicians: from Aerosmith to Rihanna

Trump's battles with musicians continue as the family of the late Isaac Hayes sues for $3 million for copyright infringement.

Newsweek

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?

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”

The Beatles - “Here Comes the Sun”

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”

Elton John - “Tiny Dancer and Rocket Man”

Everlast - “Jump Around”

Foo Fighters - My Hero

Free - “All right now”

Guns n Roses - “Sweet Child o Mine” and “Live and let die”

Isaac Hayes - “Hold on I’m coming”

Johnny Mar - “Please please please let me get what I want”

Leonard Cohen - “Hallelujah”

Linkin Park - In the End

Luciano Pavarotti - Nessun Dorma

Neil Young - Rocking in the Free world

Phil Collins - In the air tonight

Prince - Purple Rain

Queen - We are the Champions

REM - It’s the end of the world as we know it

Rihanna - Don’t stop the music

Rolling Stones - You can’t always get what you want (the irony)

Sinéad O’Connor - Nothing compares 2 u

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

…Does the campaign realize what House of the Rising Sun is about?
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.
I mean if you literally just ignore all of the lyrics except the part where Bruce is nearly screaming “born in the usa” like a lamentation… I guess it’s possible.
That’s not important. As long as the Voters don’t know or don’t care, it does the Job

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.

Even… Lynyrd Skynyrd is on the list?

Does someone have context on that entry? Not that I’m complaining - because I’m not.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Push Back Over ‘Free Bird’ Use in Graphic Media Murder Video Aired at Trump Golf Course Gathering

A graphic, violent parody video depicting Pres. Trump shooting and stabbing a church full of his media and political rivals has drawn fire from one of the musical acts whose music soundtracks the clip.

Billboard

" 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”
There’s a big sign outside Jacksonville on 295 that says “Trump listens to Lynard Skynard”
I can’t tell if that’s supposed an insult or a compliment nor for whom.

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 truth

Which 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”

The Trump campaign playing Rage Against the Machine is just so mindbogglingly dumb, it defies comprehension.
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.
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.

Rage Against the Machine: Trump fans lampooned for playing 'Killing in the Name'

‘This has to be the most hilarious self own in a long time,’ one person wrote

The Independent
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.

Why doesn’t he just use music from his buddies Kid Rock and Ted Nugent for everything?

No one gives a shit about Kid Rock anymore but he sure thinks they do, and The Nuge is an admitted child molester who literally shit his pants to dodge the draft… Sounds perfect for the modern GOP lol

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.”

Even renowned asshole Katy Perry doesn’t approve
Oh shit! David Bowie, Prince, and Kenny Rogers are alive!
No, sorry they’ve all kicked the bucket…David Bowie and Prince died in 2016, and Kenny Rogers died in 2020.
Class action power house lawsuit?
Jack Black too
Jack White too as of this morning.

Really? Damn. First time hearing about this.

Edit: oh, it was a different Jack White. I was thinking of the White Stripes guy.

I think it’s the same Jack White.
Jack White and probably Tenacious D as well judging by their comments
Omfg they can’t even get lynatd skynard
Huh, Tom Petty died.
Heartbreaking.
Yeah, he don’t come around here no more

You can add Jack White and the White Stripes to this.
