    it is no permissable to hawk a product (romney and his platform) with someone's music without permission. that is the crux of the issue. otherwise everyone would have carte blanche to use metallica to sell their stuff.


    They are saying they have a license to use it.

    Dee Snider Rips Paul Ryan for Using 'We're Not Gonna Take It'
    GOP played Twisted Sister hit at a campaign rally

    http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/ ... t-20120822

    Rocker Dee Snider is unhappy with Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan for using Twisted Sister's 1984 hit "We're Not Gonna Take It" as intro music at a rally yesterday in Pennsylvania, reports Talking Points Memo.

    "I emphatically denounce Paul Ryan's use of my band Twisted Sister's song, 'We're Not Gonna Take It,' in any capacity," Snider said. "There is almost nothing he stands for that I agree with except the use of the P90X."

    Snider's not the first musician this year irate over Republicans' use of their songs: Just last week, Silversun Pickups told Mitt Romney to stop using their song "Panic Switch" at campaign events. Ryan recently expressed fondness for the music of Rage Against the Machine, prompting a pointed response from guitarist Tom Morello in a Rolling Stone op-ed.

    I was impressed with Mr. Snider when he was on Celebrity Apprentice; he strikes me as an intelligent, well-spoken man.

    Now reading this, I'm kinda surprised he even appeared on Trump's show...perhaps the charity potential made it easier, more worthwhile, for him?

    Who knows.

    God, are politicians that stupid to continue to attempt to use songs without permission? This has been going on for years...

    who really gives a shit what campaign a band supports?

    Someone with any principles?

    I.e, If a band I liked started supporting some right-wing idiot like Mitt Romney, or George W Bush, then I'd stop listening to them. They'd become redundant for me.


    Is it ok, to you, that they take a large payout from a Fortune 500 company for a private party?
