\n\tMetallica<\/a> have never taken kindly to people using their music in ways they don\u2019t approve of. The latest example is the Pentagon, which was forced to delete and then repost a video featuring Defense Sec. Pete Hegseth boasting about the administration\u2019s ramped up effort \u201cunleashing American drone dominance\u201d after the rock group objected to the unauthorized use of one of their biggest hits.<\/p>\n

\t\t\t\t\tRod Stewart Says He\u2019s No Longer Friends With Neighbor Donald Trump: \u2018He Became Another\u00a0Guy\u2026\t\t<\/p>\n<\/h3><\/div>\n

\n\tThe original clip was cued to Metallica\u2019s \u201cEnter Sandman,\u201d but according to Rolling Stone<\/a><\/em>, the Department of Defense had to take it down after a copyright complaint from the group. The press secretary for the DoD confirmed the action<\/a> on Friday to Military.com writer Konstantin Toropin on X, writing, \u201cThis afternoon, representatives from X reached out to DoD regarding a video posted on our social media page and asked that the video be removed due to a copyright issue with the song \u2018Enter Sandman\u2019 by Metallica. The video has been taken down, corrected and re-uploaded to our page.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt press time spokespeople for Metallica and the DoD had not returned Billboard<\/em>\u2018s request for comment.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe two-minute video filmed in front of the Pentagon found Fox News host Hegseth boasting of the Trump administration\u2019s removal of \u201cbureaucratic red tape\u201d in the manufacturing of military drones as a buzzing quadcopter carrying a memo for him to sign<\/a> hovered near his head. \u201cHere\u2019s the memo we\u2019re signing today, delivered via drone,\u201d he said as he signed the piece of paper.\u00a0The second version of the video has no soundtrack.<\/p>\n

\n\tDonald Trump has long used music at his rallies and events without the consent of the artists, with many speaking out it over the years. From his first run for the White House in 2015 through his current term, Trump has faced backlash from musicians<\/a> who objected to him playing their songs at his events, including Adele, Beyonc\u00e9, Celine Dion, Foo Fighters, Guns N\u2019 Roses, the estate of Isaac Hayes \u2014 which sued trump for using the late soul singer\u2019s \u201cHold On, I\u2019m Coming\u201d at rallies \u2014\u00a0as well as the White Stripes\u2019 Jack White, Neil Young, Prince, R.E.M., Rihanna, the Rolling Stones and many more. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
