Axl Rose Calls Trump's Campaign 'S**tbags' After It Plays Guns N' Roses At Rally
Axl Rose may have sung Patience in 1987, but when it comes to President Donald Trump in 2018, Roses has run out.
The Guns N Roses frontman posted a rant on Twitter on Sunday after he caught wind that Trumps campaign played one of the bands most famous songs at a rally.
Rose tweeted that the band formally requested that Trump no longer play its songs at his rallies because the bands members are opposed to the unauthorized use of their music at political events.
He also explained why other artists, such as Rihanna and Pharrell, have been having a similar issue with the presidents campaign. According to the 56-year-old Rose, venues have different licenses when it comes to playing music, and campaigns can take advantage of loopholes to play anything they want. He wrote that these licenses were not intended for such craven political purposes, without the songwriters consent.
Can u say shitbags?! he tweeted alongside a poop emoji.
