Full title.......................Dream on! Steven Tyler demands that Donald Trump stop playing Aerosmith songs at his campaign rallies...............Steven Tyler is trying to tell Donald Trump to 'Dream On' when it comes to using any of his songs.
The Aerosmith singer once again hit out at the president and demanded that he stop using the band's songs at his rallies.

Tyler took to Twitter to express his continued frustration at Trump for using the band's songs.

He’s got Toys in the Attic.........................
If steve is getting royalties, he should be happy and stfu!
Too bad.
I listen to a lot of foreign music. I don’t know their politics, which allows me to simply enjoy the music without remembering what they said about this or that politician, or issue, or what they said about me.
Actors, musicians, artists in general, make a big mistake when they step out from behind their art to be overtly political. Let your art speak for you, it crosses barriers that politics can’t cross. The minute you step out from behind your art, you lose your ability to really communicate and most of the time, you never get it back.
Most large venues have an ASCAP license and have paid the appropriate fee. (yearly) It pretty much gives them free reign to play current music available in their territory. If you hear it on the radio, you can play it at the venue.
And sending a letter is symbolic. Aerosmith’s legal team would know if there was a violation and would be sending a lawsuit.
Sorry, Steven.
Play Motorhead instead.
Trump bought it at Dollar General
Steve Tyler wants at least 63 million Americans know he does not want them to listen to his music,
.
Roger that
Joe Perry is a Pubbie and I think the rest of the band is also. Steven "Largemouth Bass" Tyler is a liberal chowder head.
Steven Tyler is still alive??? I thought he died about 20 years ago.
What a dork.
He sold the rights and now wants to control the use.
Rush plays a Pretenders’ song every day he’s on the air, and they don’t like it.
Too bad.
That was his career that died
Now recordings one sells on the open market should be made unavailable to anyone whom the seller dislikes? It might be proper practice of freedom to refuse to do business with someone in whom you find disgust. Like queers who insist you bake them a cake celebrating their sin.
I want to see Steven Tyler make a fuss about the right to discriminate against certain potential customers.
I recall Rush once saying that he pays about $40,000 per year in royalties and Chrissie Hynde said the money is given to charity.
The father of Liv Tyler wants we should consider him relevant?
He looks Gay...
LOL, either they accuse conservatives of wanting to ban rock and roll, or else they’re mad that we have the nerve to think that we have as much of a right to enjoy it as they do.
Nah, he just LOOKS like he’s dead............
