Axl Rose, a frequent critic of the Trump administration, turned to Twitter Saturday to explain why Guns N’ Roses‘ music has played at the president’s recent rallies.
“Just so ya know… GNR like a lot of artists opposed to the unauthorized use of their music at political events has formally requested r music not b used at Trump rallies or Trump associated events,†Rose tweeted.
“Unfortunately the Trump campaign is using loopholes in the various venues’ blanket performance licenses which were not intended for such craven political purposes, without the songwriters’ consent.â€
Rose quipped, “Can u say ‘shitbags?!'â€
