The Rolling Stones becomes the latest music act forbidding Donald Trump from using their music at his rallies. The band spoke out after their songs "You Can't Always Get What You Want" and "Start Me Up" were played at the GOP frontrunner's campaigns.
"The Rolling Stones have never given permission to the Trump campaign to use their songs and have requested that they cease all use immediately," The Stones says in a statement. In response, the presidential candidate tells CNBC, "I have no problem with that. I like Mick Jagger."
Jagger and his bandmates join Adele, Neil Young and R.E.M.'s Michael Stipe to ban Trump from playing their music at his rallies. Aerosmith's Steven Tyler also sent the Republican politician a cease-and-desist letter to stop him from using the band's "Dream On".
Mr. Trump, however, gets permission from Twisted Sister's lead singer Dee Snider to use his band's song "We're Not Gonna Take It". The musician who once appeared on "The Celebrity Apprentice" explained to Entertainment Weekly, "Trump and Bernie Sanders are the two extremes. They're raising holy hell and shaking everything up. That's what 'We're Not Gonna Take It' is about."
