Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler has demanded that Donald Trump’s campaign stop playing Dream On, becoming the latest musician angered by the Republican presidential candidate’s choice of their song.

Trump says he bought the right to use the song in public assemblies, along with many other tunes.
This is not the first time in recent months that the real estate magnate’s received a cease-and-decist letter over the use of a rock song at his campaign events.
Well, The Donald used the song again Monday, claiming to reporters both sides had working things out.
His lawyers sent Trump a cease and desist letter on Saturday – the second they’ve sent so far – stating that use of the song “gives the false impression that [Tyler] is connected with or endorses Mr. Trump’s presidential bid”. But Tyler’s attorney begs to differ.
Trump has suffered similar brunt on several occasions before this incident too.
Neil Young, R.E.M. and now Aerosmith have all publicly called on the Trump campaign to stop using their music without permission.

Ironically, Trump was all praises for Aerosmith after attending a concert on September 3 and even took to Twitter to laud the band for its performance.
