Steven Tyler’s Attack Against President Trump Leaves Him Facing Major BACKLASH
Aging rocker Steven Tyler provoked a massive backlash as he requested President Trump to no longer use his songs at his rallies and now is urged to give a statement.
Tyler is now maintaining that it was not a “political” decision. He says he brought his decision of lashing at Trump due to his passion over “copyright laws.”
According to Bizpacreview.com, a beloved rock star provoked a major backlash on social media this week after he requested President Donald Trump to stop playing his music at campaign rallies.
The ballyhoo began after word broke that Aerosmith’s classic song “Livin’ on the Edge” had been played at President Donald Trump’s rally Tuesday night at the Charleston Civic Center in West Virginia.
In the response to the massive backlash Aerosmith frontman Steven Tyler’s legal team submitted a cease-and-desist letter to the White House in which he severely warned the legal ramifications if Trump keeps playing his music.
“By using ‘Livin’ On The Edge’ without our client’s permission, Mr. Trump is falsely implying that our client, once again, endorses his campaign and/or his presidency, as evidenced by actual confusion seen from the reactions of our client’s fans all over social media,” the letter read.
“What makes this violation even more egregious is that Mr. Trump’s use of our client’s music was previously shut down, not once, but two times, during his campaign for the presidency in 2015,” Tyler’s legal team added, referring to previous alleged copyright violations.

When someone buys their song they have the right then at that time to play it wherever they choose. The band can not tell anyone where to play it once it’s purchased by and individual.

Aerosmith ought to be grateful if their songs are played at Trump rallies. That's free advertisement to tens of thousands of people who would never have listened to it otherwise. Tyler should stick to music & keep his enormous mouth shut about politics.#DONEWithAerosmith

Majority of people consider Tyler’s refusal to allow Trump to play his music is practically the same as to the rock star disrespecting the office of the president.
The backlash became so extreme that the rock star finally expressed his attitude in a Twitter statement claiming his legal demands weren’t related to politics but rather about “protecting copyright and songwriters.” As proof, he cited his fervent support of the so-called Music Modernization Act.
THIS IS NOT ABOUT DEMS VS. REPUB. I DO NOT LET ANYONE USE MY SONGS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. MY MUSIC IS FOR CAUSES NOT FOR POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS OR RALLIES. PROTECTING COPYRIGHT AND SONGWRITERS IS WHAT I’VE BEEN FIGHTING FOR EVEN BEFORE THIS CURRENT ADMINISTRATION TOOK OFFICE.

THIS IS ONE OF THE REASONS WHY @JOEPERRY AND I HAVE BEEN PUSHING THE SENATE TO PASS THE MUSIC MODERNIZATION ACT.
NO IS A COMPLETE SENTENCE.

The intro to Sweet Emotion has been used as the official opening theme song for Canada’s COMMUNIST BROADCASTING CARTEL (CBC) for decades! I bet MOST of Tyler’s fortune comes from leftopaths!
He was playing your music at an event…not rewriting it .
It is not too surprising that this man would go lefty. Music will be played. There is lots of appropriate music. How about God Bless America or America the Beautiful.?
Unfortunately if someone goes to a store and buy his record then it can be played anyway a person wants to play it. The record has the authors name on it and the recording place and the copy right logo on it so what’s the problem.
I never, ever did like Steven Tyler..To me he was a total slob and he still is..He’s never going to grow up..
2 poijnts…
WHO is this fool?
And is the person playing the song playing it from a LAWFULLY PURCHASED COPY?
Once sold, the purchaser HAS COMPLETE CONTROL over WHEN AND WHERE he/she chooses to play the CD as long they do not sell the ‘listening’ for personal profit and claim it as their own.
he is a burn out hippie and his brain is burn out on drugs
I went to my music room to gather and distroy his music. I forgot I never bought his stuff. His image is a turn off.
So if you buy a cd of his music, is it not yours to play anywhere you like? Seems strange
Last time I ever attempt to listen to their music. I’m sick of hearing of the copyright laws. It is just his front to cover the real reason. Shame ………
Tyler is a burnt out has been. Just had to make it political. Any of his music just went into my fire pit after of course it was smashed to pieces.
BOYCOTT!!!!!!!!!!!! he is SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOO so old what/ would listen to his crap??????
What a shame. I used to respect Steven Tyler. But not anymore.
