White House Uses "Enter Sandman" in Iran War Hype Video After Metallica Previously Denied Song's Use
"Iran tried to kill President Trump, and President Trump got the last laugh. I was the hunted, and now I'm the hunter. Throughout the clip, which also shows footage of the US bombing Iran, 'Enter Sandman' provides the soundtrack, ending with Trump's statement about shifting from being hunted to being the hunter."
"Last July, Hegseth posted a video celebrating the US military's 'drone dominance,' also set to 'Enter Sandman.' The band quickly hit Hegseth with a copyright notice, and the video was taken down and re-uploaded with no music, establishing a clear pattern of unauthorized use."
The White House released a video featuring Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth discussing the U.S. bombing of Iran and the elimination of an Iranian unit leader allegedly involved in an assassination attempt on Donald Trump. The video uses Metallica's 'Enter Sandman' as its soundtrack without authorization. Metallica had previously denied the Department of Defense permission to use the song and filed a copyright takedown notice when it appeared in a separate military video last July. That earlier video celebrating drone dominance was removed and re-uploaded without music. The new White House video remains active on social media as of the report.
