Grohl is no Glee fan, and Murphy can shut up
By CMU Editorial | Published on Monday 21 March 2011
Dave Grohl doesn’t want his music to feature in ‘Glee’, and has pre-empted the show’s creator Ryan Murphy telling the world the Foo Fighters frontman is a washed up has-been for saying so.
Criticising Glee man Ryan Murphy for lashing out whenever an artist shows anything but unwavering fandom for his TV show, Grohl told the Hollywood Reporter: “You shouldn’t have to do fucking ‘Glee’. And then the guy who created ‘Glee’ is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his fucking show… I watched ten minutes [of it]. It’s not my thing”.
Referencing Murphy’s response to past critics, Grohl continued: “Slash was the first one. [Murphy] wanted to do Guns N Roses, and Slash is like, ‘I hate fucking musicals. It’s worse than ‘Grease’. Then [Murphy’s] like, ‘Well, of course he’d say that. He’s a washed-up old rock star. That’s what they fucking do’. And then Kings Of Leon say, ‘No, we don’t want to be on your show’. And then he’s like, ‘Snotty little assholes…’ And it’s just like, ‘Dude, maybe not everyone loves ‘Glee’. Me included'”.
