THIN LIZZY Guitarist Would Have No Problem With His Band's Music Being Used In 'Glee'

April 6, 2011

Ryan Murphy, creator of the musical TV series "Glee", finally accepted KINGS OF LEON and FOO FIGHTERS' rejection for the show, but THIN LIZZY guitarist says his band would be happy to have "The Boys Are Back In Town" or "Jailbreak" involved. Scott Gorham tells Artisan News that "it's all publicity. It's all good. Music is music." Check out the video report below.

Elton John recently joined the recent flap over "Glee", slamming artists like KINGS OF LEON, Dave Grohl and Slash who have either refused to allow their music to be used on the show or criticized it outright. Appearing on "Late Night With Jimmy Fallon" last Thursday night (March 31),Sir Elton said, "Lighten up, you assholes," adding, "It's a compliment when someone records or does one of your songs. It doesn't matter if it's a bad version, it's just a compliment, so I've never lost that thrill. KINGS OF LEON, lighten up guys. Come on."

Murphy arguably got the ball rolling when he slammed KINGS OF LEON after they declined to allow their music on the show. The "Glee" creator called the band "self-centered assholes," leading them to slam him back. He also referred to Slash as someone who is "uneducated and quite stupid."

Dave Grohl lashed out at Murphy as a result, saying, "It's every band's right, 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 . . . Fuck that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do 'Glee'."
