The Georgia-based rock band is considering legal action to stop President Donald Trump from playing the group's popular music at his rallies.The notice came by means of bassist Mike Mills' Twitter account. He tweeted after Tuesday night's Trump rally featured"Everybody Hurts" and"Losing My Religion.
— Mike Mills ❄️💨⛄️ January 15, 2020 Read MoreLast year, Trump retweeted a video playing"Everybody Hurts" over clips of Democrats looking not too pleased at his State of the Union address. Mills responded by tweeting,"Measures have been taken to stop it," and called on Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey to"get on this." Twitter eventually took down the video.
I doubt that Trumpis losing sleep... he will find another song!
Get a life .
Consider yourselves one of his celeb womenfolk and he just grabbed you by the P _ _ _ Y
What is that!💩
if R.E.M. said only white people could listen to their songs, would CNN report that as racist?
Insane for bands or ppl to think that playing random or intentional music at an event is an endorsement for or by them or is ACDC really endorsing every sports team on the planet
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Oh dude. Just suck it. You’re getting more attention now than before.
They already have legal avenues to prevent this. It's called not selling license to your music to the venues for money.
Who cares. Really this is news? CNN you will need to do better than this. Why not tell Americans about the lowest unemployment rate since 1969?
If you don't want your music played, you might be working in the wrong industry
Then return the royalties if it bothers you that much
REM probably cannot even articulate why they have such disdain for POTUS, other than it's 'popular' for Libtards to hate this man. His policies have put historic numbers of women & people of color to work, lifted their incomes, implemented prison reform helping families & MAGA
Slow day for real journalism
I bought their music now I’ll remove them from my playlist
And noone cares....
Probably sold them a lot of downloads. Sorry, if Trump paid the copyright fees to play it. Tough
The venues pay ASCAP & BMI royalty fees & you know that It is out of the control of the artist. This is a story about nothing. I expect better stories from your organization.
realDonaldTrump may use YouthInnAsia music for some ca$h. DM for the details. (foxandfriends knows what's up). youthinasia
I don’t understand how someone can write a song, record the song, release the song and make millions off of it, then try to police who play and listens to the song. Perhaps another case of TDS
ef REM then.
R.E.M. Document was their greatest album. Too bad they’re such miserable people. It would be ok if Bernie or Quid Pro Joe used your music. Actually it would be more appropriate if they used It’s The End Of The World As We Know It. Democrat policies will ensure that happens.
The Sidewinder sleeps tonight could be appropriate 🤔
Old white dorks.... For real 90% of all bands is dorks .. batas
Good. He’s done this before. He should know better.
Gawd... be happy people even recognize your music..🙄
Nobody cares, Mike.
R.E.M. is not feeling fine about orange man playing the group's music at his rallies. 'We are exploring all legal avenues to prevent this, but if that's not possible please know that we not condone the use of our music' by orange man, bassist Mike Mills tweeted.
Can Trump at least play it in jail? Might be comforting for poor Ginger Snookums
That decides it only Ted Nugent and Kid Rock music at Trump cult meetings. How inspiring 😜
I wish REM luck. POTUS and his supporters have managed to totally ruin certain RollingStones songs for me.
Who cares....
Shame on R.E.M
So stupid for an irrelevant band
So ?
Who gives a shit?
You guys really gave up on news outside the liberal swamp, didn’t you? America is a big place with other stuff going on. Might help those pathetic ratings you have.
After 3 years? Give me a break!
Maybe you should of protected your music like Led Zeppelin did... R.E.M. is dead aren't they?! Drugs didn't get em yet?!
DO WHAT YOU THINK YOU GOTTA DO. IN AMERICA YOU HAVE THE FREEDOM TO DO IT. RE-ELECT NOV 3rd ° the Art of the POTUS
Looks like they're playing hotel lobbies these days.
realDonaldTrump stop stealing artist music that don’t want u to use it!
Oh please! They should be honored.
Who is R.E.M.?
Imagine a bunch of conservatives sitting in a room and suddenly a song about loving people, open mindedness and understanding is played... That wouldn't fit at all LeL
And he's StillYourPresident LOL.
TDR!!
President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS. R.E.M. songs stopped? Oh No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ha, ha!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That was just a dream That was just a dream Just a dream Dream
So what? Having a slow news day?
REM ARE PUSSIES.....C;LOWNS IN THE MUSIC LEFTY BUSINESS....FOX999
Another butthurt band suffering from TDS...🤣
If you don't own the copyright you're basically screwed.
CNNisTrash CNNIsFakeNews
R.E.M. sucks
Seems to me Orange Crush would be appropriate.
Really CNN? Who cares. By the way people the market hit another record high today. That is real news.
Every time a radio station plays an R.E.M. song, I change the station.
Do not let your incredible accomplishments benefit tRump in any way! Fight this, R. E. M.!!!
Shows how dumb they are. They, and their songs, have been sitting on history’s shelves for a couple decades. Trump is dusting the off and they may see more sales. Dumbshit Libs.
Oh no!!!! Whatever will Trump do now?
Unfortunately, REM like many other artists do not have rights to their work. They should have thought about that when they sold themselves to the devils.
Cry me a river.
You’re helping make realDonaldTrump the Greatest President EVER! We’ve watched for 4 yrs as you & the DNC Mafia bite his ankles as he continues to walk forward working for US! You work for YOU! Everyone LOVES an Underdog! Acquitted! Re-elected! You lose! He Wins! Again!
He should resign now before he gets all the evidence and embarrassment
This gives me a small smlie of satisfaction
Have you guys bailed out your creepy porn lawyer yet?
Are Republicans just that Stupid, That they don't Understand there is a thing called Laws?
Good riddance
'Losing My Religion' really fits, though.
Breaking News: R.E.M now in final stages of TDS.
Guess the Democrats can still use 'It's the End of the World as We Know It'
ThisIsCNN
People still listen to this shit?
Iraq plans to increase its oil production.
His rallies are always blaring gunsnroses. It needs to stop! I can't stand it.
REM ...CLOWNS...FOX999
Weird choice of songs.
We reject you mother Zucker EnemyOfThePeople
CNNisTrash
Petty
Time to get music from REAL artists then :3
I’m sure Trump will lose sleep over this news.
I’m now exploring all my options of never playing their damn music again.
Sue him!
CNNisGarbage
Got it!
Ironic since ever trump took office it’s been the end of the world as we know it
Can’t wait for landslide win for Trump in 2020 MAGA KAG
Public Domain, piss off REM!
So keep hitting that download button liberals. So they can keep getting paid. And stay relevant.
Trump should play Ted Nugent’s music.
remhq m_millsey
Who cares?
I don’t approve of REM music myself....
Pretty sure the ONLY music at this point Trump can get rights to is Ted Nugent and Kid Rock. And given its 2020 no body wants to here either
remhq needs to sue that criminal.
We dont want hear remhq terrible music shit anyway 🤬🤡🖕
R.E.M is irrelevant! Truly no one gives to Schiffs what they think!
KTLA Always figured KTLA was copying and pasting stories...At least KTLA are now being respectful and retweeting so we can all see where they get their stories and information from.
Great group, lousy president.
Please stop trump their music sucks
What dorks. Entertainment people need to stop virtue signaling and act like adults
Send him a bill. Then, after 30 days, send the bill collectors. May I suggest, Bruno’s and Guidos collection agency. 99.9% of the collections they make, are made as soon as the client is released from the hospital.
Rem sucks anyway
Fine no more buying your crappy music.
KTLA Do you all have anything better to do than bring down the President of these United States? Pretty sure the public can see how ridiculous and petty you all have been for almost 4 years.
KTLA That means they’re perfectly fine with it
REM doing their best to not be canceled.
My guess is trump thinks that REM is the little chihuahua character from that old Nickelodeon show. I would also put money on most trump fans commenting not knowing what R.E.M. stands for.
I don’t know. “It’s the End of the World as we Know It” seems to be quite apt.
They should play the end of the world as we know it at his rallies.
They make a big deal about the artists on 'their side' yet they never play them
So brave, so so bold, so so so beautiful!
Pretenders tried the same thing with Limbaugh...fail !
Mike Pense 2020
If you feel that way, there are courts.
It looks like trump loosing his religion!
Like anybody knew who's music it was in the first place. 😂😂😂
Dangerous economic situation linked to rape against Yemen by Saudi-led coalition
They're just lucky they recorded in a time when fewer bands were picked to succeed
Should have had better legal advice over the control of your music, huh?
Weak.
How brave
