'Glee' Creator Lashes Out At SLASH
January 27, 2011Ryan Murphy, the creator of the hit TV series "Glee", has responded to a recent attack on the show by VELVET REVOLVER and ex-GUNS N' ROSES guitarist Slash, who had rejected a request to use his old band's music on "Glee" on the grounds that he hates the program. "Usually I find that people who make those comments, their careers are over; they're uneducated and quite stupid," Murphy told RollingStone.com.
Slash told Entertainment Weekly he would not like to see "Glee" do a GUNS-themed episode or even have the cast perform one GUNS song. Slash explained, "We got asked about that once already but it got turned down. In the current climate of what's going on in entertainment these days, I try to be more optimistic than negative because it's really easy to get negative about it, but I draw the line at 'Glee'."
Slash added, "'Glee' is worse than 'Grease' and 'Grease' is bad enough . . . Actually, I look at 'Grease' now and think: Between 'High School Musical' and 'Glee', 'Grease' was a brilliant work of art."
Slash is currently touring behind his self-titled solo album as the opening act for Ozzy Osbourne.
