And a vaccinated faggot who imposed a vaccine mandate on his fans who wanted to attend their shit concerts. He also imposed the mandate on his own band, then his drummer dropped dead. Probably nothing. Get boosted, Dave
wow forgot about that. if nothing else, covid really let me know which musicians i should stop supporting. Im a Dave Matthews nerd, attended dozens and dozens of shows. 2021 hit and he got on the microphone and announced a band member was out with covid, but "thankfully he was vaccinated so hes gonna be ok" to massive cheering. Not to mention you had to show proof of vaccination to get in. Luckily its just college kids who work the event. I walked right through them withouth showing anything and they didnt even attempt to care or stop me.
I used to be a DMB nerd. He, too, imposed a vaccine mandate for shows. The guy who wrote songs about apartheid supporting medical apartheid. Go fuck yourself, Dave
He sure did. Although not sure if its his particular choice, or the promoters, or the venue. Either way i didn't present proof of shit besides my intent to have a good time.
No kidding...I honestly didn't know Grohl came from them. I was more into power and symphonic metal growing up but saw a video of Kurt saying he's not going to sell out and play the music the big names want him to play...Dave clearly does and for the record I have always found Foo Fighters music to be incredibly gay. If the term "rock" is used anywhere in the classification of their genre it should be after the word "tampon"
If you want total control of your music, don’t sell out to make a buck. If you want total control of your life, don’t sell your soul in exchange for fame.
A third party license to use the song is different from asking the band who wrote it if it'd be cool to use it. Whoever was asking the band if they 'let' Trump use it isn't understanding what is actually happening here.
Most likely the Foo Fighters, as a revenue stream, sold rights to sell licenses to use their songs in commercials, public events, etc to whatever company Trump bought a license from. Its out of the Foo Fighter's hands, outside of making a huge public stink about it.
The REAL question here is whether or not the company was legally allowed to sell the license, AND whether or not The Foo Fighters understand that.
Grohl sure as fuck understands licensing of music and intellectual property- sauce: his fucking decades long battle with Courteney Love over Kurt's Nirvana songs/revenues...he gladly accepts the royalty checks, so he can fuck right off
The thing that is tricky with the foo fighters is that the band members themselves own all the rights to the music, they then license it to the record company. This is very not normal in the industry where usually the record company holds the power but in this case Grohl already had the star power from nirvana to leverage this different type of situation. So it might be a case where the company didn’t have the ability to relicense the song.
Yep, if you go read the BMI site, the DNC and RNC might be violating the terms and conditions because not only are they using the songs live, they are broadcasting them on TV and digital video sites.
So, they should be suing both Kamala and Trump to stop them from violating terms.
This is one of those times I'll gladly just listen to a good cover of it instead and ignore who originally wrote it. I already do that for "The Pretender" as I've heard a few covers that in my opinion are superior to the original anyway.
There are so many excellent country and rock musicians with patriotic songs use their art to promote everything MAGA! I'm confident Ted Nugent would be happy to give Trump campaign all access to his music portfolio. F these Marxist idiots
They didn't lie, it's not how that works, go look at the FAQ on the BMI site. Their label puts all music on there and if you see someone you don't want using your music you can send a letter and tell them to stop. It's a pretty standard licensing agreement. It works the same for almost all of these services.
Yeah, if you use the song once, they send a letter. From the earlier article they've been playing whatever that Foo song is at every rally on YouTube and live without the digital publishing rights being paid which is what the lawsuit is really all about. BMI just wants more money, and they're having the liberal tools be the spokespeople for it.
Trump should SUE these leftist hacks for defamation.
The Trump campaign actually DID license the song through BMI’s Songview service, as confirmed by documents provided to the Independent.
The Foo Fighters said they’ll be taking “action” against the campaign, and any proceeds will be donated to the Harris campaign
Virtue signaling pieces of crap.
Dave grohl is hands down one of the biggest faggots on the planet.

He also has a satanic movie
Too bad it didn't unalive him....yet
Probably had a hand in killing Kurt Cobain as well, Grohl only became a big name after Kurt's suspicious suicide.
Moloch told him to sacrifice someone he loved in order to become a superstar, a lot of bands have done this.
No kidding...I honestly didn't know Grohl came from them. I was more into power and symphonic metal growing up but saw a video of Kurt saying he's not going to sell out and play the music the big names want him to play...Dave clearly does and for the record I have always found Foo Fighters music to be incredibly gay. If the term "rock" is used anywhere in the classification of their genre it should be after the word "tampon"
That would be one heck of a competition.
Too bad, so sad... looks like there won't be any proceeds to donate to crazy Kamala!
Sue them hard. Leave them destitute. Fuck 'em.
If you want total control of your music, don’t sell out to make a buck. If you want total control of your life, don’t sell your soul in exchange for fame.
Well said.

u/#correct
Even if someone owns 1% of the song, they are allowed to license it to whoever they want, as long as the other 99% owners get paid as well.
But that would not be Trump's fault.
Grohl sure as fuck understands licensing of music and intellectual property- sauce: his fucking decades long battle with Courteney Love over Kurt's Nirvana songs/revenues...he gladly accepts the royalty checks, so he can fuck right off

But, they will obviously let Kamala slide. Because why appear neutral once you've earned your fortune?
Dave Grohl is s POS.
Kek i figured as much. Trump covers his bases.
A little bit of lawfare here, get the song for free.
Teach the libtards a lesson using their own methods.
Guess he should pay attention to what his studio is doing instead of running off galavanting.
Pfoo Pfizers
Great song by the Poo Biters, that much i can tell you.

Assholes!!

I have always loathed the Foo Fighters and their terrible music
Same.
That was over the top for a reason…someday, and I bet soon we will know the details of why. In the meantime God bless these two men.
Trump Curse incoming.
I could not pick one of their songs out.
They didn't lie, it's not how that works, go look at the FAQ on the BMI site.

It works the same for almost all of these services.
But if someone uses their song once, can they sue? From what you have written, they have to send a letter first and tell them to stop.
Yeah, if you use the song once, they send a letter.

Thanks for clearing that up.
can we all calm down a little? all they are saying is that they didn´t let him use the song. someone else did.
Just saying no to that question might be truthful. They didn't let him use it, he paid to use it like anyone else would have to.
Maybe more was said about it that I haven't seen. Either way, they lost my respect with the while vaccine mandate foolishness.
All we are is dust in the wind.
