    Played trumps 2017 American Carnage inauguration.

    How did 3 Doors Down become involved in the inauguration?
    Well, 3 Doors actually played George W. Bush’s inauguration. They are good Mississippi and Alabama boys—they come from conservative families. You know, they’re really good guys, but they have very different political beliefs. Because they played both Bush’s inaugurations, they’ve obviously been on the conservative radar.

    So what are the band’s political beliefs?
    3 Doors have that God, guns and country black-and-white sort of viewpoint, and they spend a lot of time going to Iraq, doing service, playing for the troops. They believe it and that’s just the way they see America. It’s pretty hard to argue with. You say, “What about the nuances, what about the grey areas?” and they say, “No, no, God, guns, America is the greatest country on earth.” They stick to that viewpoint.”

    From Gee Dubz to trump.
