Foo Fighters don't own the rights to their songs.. Let that sink in...

BMI owns the songs...

When you sell-out and can no longer virtue signal

Dave Grohl, owns all of the Foo Fighters catalog. He started Roswell Records (still owns) and I believe licenses his (Foo Fighters) music through RCA.

Hmmm... I wonder what Dave Grohl would say if Trump told him he couldn't do something.

Never cared for them anyway.

Foo also needs to tread very lightly here. They can be sued by the license holder if they cause harm to their licensing.

Rich, entitled, sellouts. F em

I'm sure they're trembling at your thought.

Good. It will save them a lot of money to not publicly act like jackassess like you do on here.

Foo's next song can be about how they were wrong on their own song rights and got community noted.

List of songs on their upcoming release:

1. I got Community Noted
2. Trump was right........again
3. I need a shot in the ass for my T.D.S.
4. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
5. I dont even control my own sh*t
6. Why do they call me Tom now?
7. The public knows more about my business than me
8. Orange Man Bad is Kicking My Ass


There's only 8 songs on that list because "Reeeeeeeeeeeeee" is 27 minutes long.

I would bet any amount the demographics of the Foo Fighters is white male age range 35 to 50 for 75% and 50 to 70 for 15% and female in those age groups 10% or very close to that.

I would also think 65% of those are not voting democrat this time around

Dave Grohl, doesn't care, he's worth 300 million (He walked away from Nirvana with about 50 million), because he is the owner and only writer on most of their music. Later on he started giving the band credit on writing the music. The only other really rich guy other than Dave Grohl in that picture is the drummer, Taylor Hawkins. But he's dead, drug overdose in 2022.

Do you know if Grohl has excepted his works from the Trump Blanket License? I read in a trade mag that while Trump obtained a blanket campaign license, there were literally thousands of works that the rights holders exempted from use by the Trump license (as they can under both the BMI and ASCAP license structure).

100% Spot on - Great question.



This is a perfect example of why entertainers should stay out of politics.

I am not gonna lie, I like the Foo Fighters. I think Dave Grohl is an amazing musician and song writer, but this kind of stuff turns me sour on him/them a little bit.


Stay in your lane Dave. Regardless of who wins the election, your life is not going to change one single bit. But opening your yap on stuff like this may cost you some unnecessary grief and money.
