Dave Grohl Goes OFF on Glee, Ryan Murphy
by Free Britney at .Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl does not want his music featured on Glee, nor does he appreciate bands being made to feel bad about this choice.
In a recent interview, Grohl dropped f-bombs on the Fox hit and its creator, Ryan Murphy, leaving absolutely no doubt about his feelings on either.
It's unclear what prompted his rant, but Grohl was likely inspired by Kings of Leon and Slash and their un-Glee-ful decisions to turn down the show.
"It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do f--king Glee," he said. "Then the guy who created Glee is offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his f--king show. F--k that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee."
That about sums it up. But he wasn't even close to done.
"The Glee guy, what a f--king jerk," Grohl adds. "Slash was first. He wanted to do Guns N' Roses. Slash is like 'I f--king hate musicals. It's worse than Grease.'"
"Then [Murphy's] like, 'Well of course he'd say that, he's a washed up rock star, that's what they f---ing do.' And then Kings of Leon say, 'No, we don't want to be on your show.' And then he's like, they're snotty little a$$holes ...'"
"It's just like, 'Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee.' Me included."
Bandmate Taylor Hawkins concurred, adding "Yeah, f--k that s--t."
Grohl, a former Nirvana member, admits to watching it himself. Well, once. For barely an episode. "I watched 10 minutes," he confesses. "It's not my thing."Glee covers of hit pop tracks have resulted in some huge sales, but there remains a faction of the industry that isn't what you'd call enamored with it.
Before a legitimate war of words erupted, Kings of Leon passed politely at first, citing a policy not to sell songs for use in TV series and advertisements.
As for Slash, Murphy said: "Usually I find that people who make those comments, their careers are over; they're uneducated and quite stupid."
What do you think? Does Grohl have a point?

AAAAH !!Meu namo é igual você quando era mais novo,,
I love Dave Grohl, I think he is just amazing, I do however quite enjoy glee but I think everybody has a right to reject being a part of it and the fact that the shows creator is basically throwing a hissy fit about bands not wanting to have their music played on his show just shows us how egotistical he is. Yes I love the show but not everybody does and not everybody has to. He should respect the bands decision to not want their music played on his show and not bitch about them behind their backs when they refuse.
Glee? You're a fad that will last as long as housewives keep watching that garbage. Foo fighters music will be timeless... Eventually people won't remember Glee. Rock music ties to memories, glee...not so much. Glee go ruin something else, and Murphy get a life.
Glee sucks. Dave Grohl does not suck. It's a no brainer.Hopefully eventually modern music will change and wont be created under the influence of the $dollar$ .then all the drones will wake up and will understand why Dave chose the way he did.
@Tom Mate, do you know who Dave Grohl is? In fact, do you actually know anything about music if you make a comment like that? Go get a few albums and for the love of God learn a little about music!
