Can Public Domain request to be added to the list?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Jack White, Jack Black (Tenacious D) and many more unlisted

Just 30? Either the rest don't care or they are hoping to profit off the publicity of saying "no" if the Trump campaign does use some of their music.

Like most "stars" they are more about themselves than the general good.

Nickelback? 😂

That must be the one he chose, not his staff

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Hating on Nickelback is automatic down vote now. People like them now man, keep up

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Some people...

It was clearly a joke anyway.

That being said, I'm not fussed about down votes tbh...

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I was just messing anyway

Ha ha. 15. Rage Against The Machine. Having visions of Trump arriving at the podium along with Killing In The Name

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

It would be great if someone rickrolled Trump at one of his rallies just so Rick Astley could join that list.

TIL Lorde wasn't made up by South Park.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago

I also had never heard of Lorde until South Park lol. I didn't hear my first song by her IRL until like 2011/2012 with Royals.

I am lord, ya ya ya

How old are you?

She was well after my time in terms of marketing and promotion but I definitely knew who she was and what her music was.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Yeah, my introduction to her music was riding in the car with my late fifty-something year old coworker and he had her album playing.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I'm 34. I also pretty much never hear new music though, so I'm sure that played a part.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago

Everytime I see an article about an artist that ordered a cease and desist, all the sudden music experts come out of the woodwork. "BuT THeY pAID fOr aLl thE RiGHTs aNd caN Do whatEver ThEY WAnt with IT"

It usually ends with "what a washed up performer anyways".

Go back to your Kid Rock.

Zombie Prince! 🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️🧟‍♀️

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I'm glad Bowie is still alive. Maybe the timeline has been fixed?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

I've got some bad news for you...

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Thought the same but with Queen

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

It's only Freddie that's dead from Queen, tho. And he's not even a founding member, iconic as he may be.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He would listen to Nickelback.

Not like they really have a say. Record companies own the rights to their music

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

Isn't there some minutiae with that? I recall for sampling music (voices, that is), you need permission from both the artist and the record company. If you can't get the record company, the artist can come in and do a recording just for the purpose.

Why would he think Neil Young would ever support him?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 months ago

Even less Elton John 😂

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

it's like its own Hall of Fame of legendary artists, and then Nickelback.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nickelback bad, updoots to the left fellow redditors 😎

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Geez. If that's not the biggest self-projecting comment.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I'm sure Mike Love of the Beach Boys didn't mind Trump using their music. He's a massive conservative douchebag.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 months ago

Brian Wilson and Al Jardine have been pretty openly against the Orange One using their music. But yeah... Mike Love's gonna Mike Love. Not sure why Bruce Johnston still associates with him.
