Steven Tyler has a brewing feud with leading Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, after the Aerosmith frontman demanded the aspiring politician to stop using his power ballad "Dream On" at campaign events.
According to The Guardian, Tyler's attorneys sent a second cease-and-desist letter to Trump's campaign committee on Saturday.
As noted, the letter to trump said that the billionaire mogul does "not have our client's permission to use 'Dream On'" or any of the rocker's other songs, citing that it "gives the false impression that he is connected with or endorses Mr Trump's presidential bid."
In a similar report by Fortune, Tyler first warned Trump against using his song after Trump's campaign played it at a Mobile, Ala. rally last Aug. 21. However, it seems that the presidential candidate ignored the warning.
Tyler's lawyers further add that, "If Trump for President does not comply with our demands, our client will be forced to pursue any and all legal or equitable remedies which our client may have against you."
But it should be noted that this isn't some Liberal agenda as both Tyler and Aerosmith's guitarist, Joe Perry, are both registered Republicans. And according to reports, the singer even attended the August GOP debate as Trump's guest.
Dina LaPolt, one of Tyler's attorneys, said that the cease-and-desist letter is neither politcal nor personal, just simply an issue of permission and copyright.
The incident is the third time that the mogul has been confronted by musicians regarding the use of their songs for his campaign. As his supporters may recall, when Trump announced his candidacy for president, Neil Young's "Rockin' in the Free World" was played.
Young, a known political liberal, demanded that Trump stop using his song and then declared his support for Democrat Bernie Sanders.
As reported by USA Today, Donald Trump's representatives have yet to respond nor give a statement regarding the letters.
