Dave Grohl’s a nice guy isn’t he? That huge grinning tooth mouth of his! That fun time Charlie who never has a bad word to say about anyone, ever! Unless you’re Courtney Love that is. Sweet Jesus, he really hates her.
Now hideous, blaspheming supposed nice-guy Dave Grohl has slammed the creator of the?greatest television show on Earth, GLEE by basically calling him a whining, simpering git with a God-complex. Which is apparently quite rude!
Ryan Murphy’s incredible sing-a-long comedy which is notable for containing only one funny character has so far worked over the likes of Britney Spears, Madonna, Katy Perry, Journey, Queen and The Beatles. The Glee lynchpins had been expected to add the Foo Fighters to that long list of musical luminaries but Grohl’s distaste for the show and its creator have put a pin in that idea.
Here at?hecklerspray we have found it difficult to understand why a hugely successful rock star who is critically acclaimed as part of Nirvana, Queens of the Stone Age and the Foo Fighters is in a position to turn down a television show that is literally so good that it can take a woman with no talent for either singing or acting and refer to her as the show’s muse.
Grohl, speaking to the Hollywood Reporter, stated that;
”You shouldn’t have to do f*cking Glee. And then the guy who created Glee is so offended that we’re not, like, begging to be on his f*cking show…”
Who does he think he is? Some kind of musician? Some kind of artist? Someone that doesn’t really like Glee?! Who knew such people existed?
The embittered Grohl went onto lambast the incredibly lovely Ryan Murphy’s treatment of the pathetic rock stars who didn’t wish to have their music used on the saccharine pep-fest;
”Slash was the first one. [Murphy] wanted to do Guns N’ Roses, and Slash is like, ‘I hate f*cking musicals. It’s worse than Grease’. Then [Murphy’s] like, ‘Well, of course he’d say that. He’s a washed-up ol’ rock star. That’s what they f*cking do’.”
While we agree in principle that Guns N’ Roses are terrible (although that’s probably not what they were trying to say), Grohl’s reaction to the whole thing has shown him up as the kind of person that every Gleek should despise. Someone who doesn’t hold having their music auto-tuned by a cynically-marketed comedy-cum-musical up as the pinnacle of their musical career.
Scum.

This article is a joke. Ryan Murphy is a drama queen. He throws a fit any time a musicians turns him down. read below:

Sounds like Murphy is a huge tool. I completely understand why neither the Foo Fighters or Kings of Leon would want to be associated with Glee. It’s a show based on pop culture and bubble gum renditions by a glee club. Why should it shock Murphy that harder rock acts, past or present, refuse to participate?
