Foo Fighters have shown their dissatisfaction with the fact that John McCain had used their song “My Hero” during one of his public speeches, said Billboard. Definitely this presidential candidate doesn’t know this song and most likely barely knows who Foo Fighters are, but his organizers shoud’ve be more conscious about it. “It’s frustrating and infuriating that someone who claims to speak for the American people would repeatedly show such little respect for creativity and intellectual property,” the band said in their official announcement. They’ve also added, “The saddest thing about this is that ‘My Hero’ was written as a celebration of the common man and his extraordinary potential. To have it appropriated without our knowledge and used in a manner that perverts the original sentiment of the lyric just tarnishes the song.”
Previously, the band Heat got quite angry with Sarah Palin who used their song “Barracuda” without any legal agreement. Jackson Brown even took the legal action against McCain when this presidential candidate incorporated his song “Running on Empty” into a speech. So, Foo Fighters are not the first ones to get mad at these political people.
