Trump-mania has swept the country, like a flesh-eating virus. Because of Trump, racism is at an all-time high. Because of Trump, homophobia is at an all-time high, and the list of countries that hate us keeps growing.
Another list that keeps growing is the list of bands and musicians who don't want Donald Trump to play their music at campaign events.

Here is a list of bands and musicians who disapprove of Trump's radical politics and beliefs:
  1. The Rolling Stones
    The Rolling Stones have spoken out many a-times about Trump using their music. At the closing of the Republican National Convention, Trump played Rolling Stones classic "You Can't Always Get What You Want." Members of the band chastised Trump for disobeying their orders. A cease-and-desist order was sent to Trump's campaign.
  2. Adele
    During Trump's campaigning, he used one of Adele's hit songs. Adele released a statement saying that Trump does not have permission to use her songs for his political campaign.
  3. Twisted Sister
    We all know that Dee Snider and Donald Trump used to be on good terms. In fact, Dee Snider initially said that Trump could use Twisted Sister music during his campaign. As the campaign went on, Snider noticed that Trump's beliefs did not match his beliefs. He told Trump that he was no longer allowed to use Twisted Sister's music. Trump hasn't used the band's music since.
  4. R.E.M
    The legendary band was appalled when Donald Trump used one of their hit songs during a political campaign. They released a statement saying that Trump was not allowed to use their music.
  5. Steven Tyler/Aerosmith
    Earlier this year, Trump was in hot water with another legendary band: Aerosmith. Trump used Aerosmith's hit song "Dream On" during a campaign. Lawyers for the band sent a cease-and-desist letter to the Trump campaign, saying that Republican candidate did not have permission to use their music. Also, the band made it clear that they didn't want people to think they were connected to Trump's campaign.
  6. Luciano Pavarotti
    Members of Pavarotti's family released a statement saying that Pavarotti's beliefs were "incompatible with Donald Trump's beliefs."
  7. Elton John
    While Elton John has stated that Donald Trump was always nice to him, the legendary singer expressed that both their beliefs are polar opposites of one another. He also suggested that Trump use a f*cking country star, or Ted f*cking Nugent. (Love you, Elton John!)
  8. Queen
    Perhaps one of the biggest battles between a band and Donald Trump is Trump's battle with Queen. When Trump used "We Are The Champions: at a campaign event, Queen immediately got on the defense and sent a request to desist. Unfortunately, Trump has refused to acknowledge the desist and has repeatedly used Queen's music without permission.
  9. George Harrison
    During the Republican National Convention, Trump used The Beatles classic, "Here Comes The Sun." The following statement was made:
    "The unauthorized use of #HereComestheSun at the [Republican National Convention in Cleveland is offensive and against the wishes of the George Harrison estate."
I have to mirror what Elton John said: "Use a f*cking country star's music."

I applaud all of the above bands for standing up for what's right. Well done! Of course, this list will probably grow as Trump continues to disrespect more bands and musicians. There are already nearly 70 famous bands from around the world who detest Trump's campaign.
