QUEEN's BRIAN MAY Does Not Approve Of DONALD TRUMP's Use Of 'We Are The Champions'
QUEEN guitarist Brian May doesn’t want Donald Trump to use the band’s music at the controversial Republican presidential hopeful’s campaign events.
May made his feelings known after Trump used QUEEN‘s “We Are The Champions” at his victory rally after the final presidential primaries on Tuesday.
“I’ve had an avalanche of complaints — some of which you can see in our ‘Letters’ page — about Donald Trump using our ‘We Are The Champions’ track as his ‘theme’ song on USA TV,” May wrote on his web site. “This is not an official QUEEN statement, but I can confirm that permission to use the track was neither sought nor given. We are taking advice on what steps we can take to ensure this use does not continue. Regardless of our views on Mr. Trump‘s platform, it has always been against our policy to allow QUEEN music to be used as a political campaigning tool.”
In the aforementioned “Letters” section of his site, May doubled down on his unfavorable opinion of QUEEN‘s association with the billionaire mogul. He wrote: “We certainly have not approved this use of [‘We Are the Champions’]. I will make sure we take what steps we can to dissociate ourselves from Donald Trump‘s unsavoury campaign.”
May isn’t the first rock musician to distance himself from Trump. TWISTED SISTER singer Dee Snider recently revealed that he asked Trump to stop using the band’s signature anthem “We’re Not Gonna Take It” as the “exit song” at the politician’s campaign stops, explaining that he couldn’t “get behind a lot of what [Trump is] saying.”

Fozzy Saves the World 2023: Baltimore Show Review
Fozzy comes back to Baltimore and brings the rock, the roll and David Arquette.
Chris Jericho and Fozzy always bring a great show with them , this time they had The Nocturnal Affair and Seventh Day Slumber along for the ride .
The Nocturnal Affair is a fun band to watch. A little mix of Dark Goth Rock and alternative industrial is how to explain them. Singer Brendan Shane is a great frontman and knows how to rock out the crowd.
This was my first time seeing Seventh Day Slumber and they didn’t disappoint. The band puts on a great show and singer Joseph Rojas is not only an amazing singer but just an all around great guy. The band has been around since the late 90s and still just puts on an amazing show.
Fozzy was next and the crowd was chanting “Fozzy,Fozzy” all night long. Part rock n roll crowd part wrestling crowd, the fans were ready for experience the “Walls of Jericho”. This band is always fun. The whole band just rocks the whole stage and you can tell that they are having fun. Jericho is a natural born entertainer and just oozes charisma all over the stage.
Billy Grey and Rich Ward are a hoot to watch. Both have so much energy and are bouncing all over the stage , rich even gives PJ a few smooches now and then, and when they rock that guitar solos it’s insane. I love watching the crowd and the little kids who are at the show just enjoying watching “The Ayatollah of Rock ’N’ Rolla”, with songs like “Drinking with Jesus” and “Judas” the fans go insane.
As I mentioned in the opening statement, as we were leaving the venue after the show, the former WCW Heavyweight Champion David Arquette was coming into the venue to talk to Jericho. David was in town for monstermania horror con weekend and stopped in get a glimpse of Fozzy.
