Blue Öyster Cult Responds to Donald Trump’s Use of ‘(Don’t Fear) The Reaper’ in AI Video

Blue Öyster Cult has issued a response to Donald Trump's controversial use of their hit song "(Don’t Fear) The Reaper" in a recent AI video. The band, known for their iconic blend of hard rock and occult imagery, expressed their dismay over the use of their music without permission.

In a statement released on their official website, the band stated, "We were shocked and appalled to learn that our music was being used in this way. We did not give our consent for our song to be used in a political context, and we do not endorse any particular candidate or party."

The band went on to clarify that they have always sought to remain neutral when it comes to politics, and that they do not wish to be associated with any particular political figure or party. They also emphasized that they value their relationships with their fans above all else, and do not want their music to be used in a way that could alienate or upset them.

This is not the first time an artist has spoken out against the unauthorized use of their music in a political context. Many musicians have expressed frustration and anger over politicians using their songs without permission, including Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young, and Queen.

As the debate over music and politics continues to rage on, it is clear that artists have the right to control how their music is used and who it is associated with. Blue Öyster Cult's response serves as a reminder that music is a powerful tool that should be used responsibly and respectfully.
