Dave Grohl: Not Everyone Loves Glee

Posted by K.C. Morgan Categories: Artist News, Gossip, Alternative,

“I watched 10 minutes [of Glee]. It’s not my thing,” Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl doesn’t want any of his songs to be re-classified as “showtunes” any time soon… or, ever. In a candid, f-word-laced interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the singer bluntly stated his dislike for Glee and for series co-creator Ryan Murphy.

It’s not the first time Murphy has drawn the ire of those in the music industry. He had a well-publicized press battle with Kings of Leon, who originally rejected Glee when the show asked for the right to use some of their songs.

“It’s every band’s right, you shouldn’t have to do [expletive deleted] Glee,” Grohl said. “And then the guy who created Glee [Ryan Murphy] is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his [expletive deleted] show.”

“The Glee guy, what a [expletive deleted] jerk,” Grohl went on. “It’s just like, dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included.”

Glee vs. Kings of Leon

It’s starting to get ugly between Glee writer/co-creator Ryan Murphy and Kings of Leon drummer Nathan Followill, and all because of “Use Somebody.”

The band famously turned Glee down when the show requested to use the song.

Murphy responded to the Kings of Leon snub in the midst of a lengthy Hollywood Reporter article, saying “[expletive deleted] you, Kings of Leon.” He went on to say, “Okay, hate on arts education” and a few other choice statements.

Nathan Followill fired off an angry Twitter tirade telling Murphy to “let it go. See a therapist, get a manicure, buy a new bra.” He jumped back on his page two hours later to offer an apology: “I’m sorry 4 anyone that misconstrued my comments as homophobic or mysoginistic [sic]. I’m so not that kind of person. I really do apologize.”

Kings of Leon Not Feeling Glee-ful

Posted by Veronica Santiago Categories: Gossip, Rock,

Coldplay may have finally relented and let their songs be used on Glee, but it sounds like Kings of Leon will be holding their ground.

According to the group, they have denied requests to have their music used on the FOX series “apparently everybody loves.”

Although it’s unclear why KOL made that decision (or why their songs have been heard on others shows like Gossip Girl), it’s not the first time the band has turned someone down.

It’s not every day that writers, even highly popular writers, get a personal message from a Knight. But that’s exactly what happened when Sir Paul McCartney surprised Glee co-creator Ryan Murphy with a mixed tape recently. Murphy dished on the details at a recent press conference for the show.

“It just sort of came out of the blue,” he said of the tape, which was accompanied by a personal note. “It said ‘Hi Ryan. I’d hope you’d considered these songs for Glee.”

The two-disc mix is full of tracks, some of which will make a definite appearance on the series. Murphy said of the correspondence, “I was gobsmacked. Of course we’re going to do something.”
