yes i love you Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 (edited) I know this is a couple days old, those of you that read Slash`s interviewBut Kerrang are running the story online and in their mag - heres their take:Slash says that Guns N' Roses have snubbed the hit TV show Glee.In an interview with Entertainment Weeky, the former GN'R guitarist reveals that he and frontman Axl Rose were approached by the team behind the Golden Globe award-winning musical show in order to secure permission to base a forthcoming episode around the legendary rockers' hits.But don't expect to see Finn, Puck or Rachel belting out classics like Paradise City or It's So Easy anytime soon, though."We got asked about that once already but it got turned down," says Slash. "I draw the line at Glee. Glee is worse than Grease and Grease [was] bad enough. When Grease came out, I was like, 'Oh, c'mon, give me a break!'."Actually, I look at Grease now and think, between High School Musical and Glee, Grease was a brilliant work of art," he adds.Ouch. Guns N' Roses are not the only rock band to brush off the William McKinley High School choir.As previously reported, Red Hot Chili Peppers blocked the U.S. show from using their music. http://www.kerrang.com/blog/2011/01/glee_is_worse_than_grease.htmlSome Kerrang Readers comments:Who does this guy think he is??? Some sort of awesome world wide famous guitarist or summit???Grease is awesome!Posted by CJ | January 19, 2011 8:47 AM | Reply to this Thank God.

Young_Gun Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Good!The industry is fucked up with shit like Glee, American Idol, High School Musical etc, even bands licensing songs to ads. Good on Axl and Slash for giving the finger to conformism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SunnyDRE Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 I think they should have let the show use their songs. Good exposure; I fail to see how this is different then allowing their songs to be used in a video game or a movie.Do they look down upon the audience that watch the show? It's the same people that play rock band, go to movies, and come to their concerts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll probably get paid for it + more people will buy albums, become fans, maybe go to see some GN'R or Slash concerts. I understand Slash for not liking the show, because I don't like it either, but it's still free advertisement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the same people that play rock band, go to movies, and come to their concerts.I think the difference is that Glee would be re-working the song, something they don't want done. In the likes of Rock Band/Guitar Hero/movies, it's always the original version. Other than that, it's pretty much the same thing, and definately good exposure. If they don't want Sweet Child O' Mine or Paradise City re-worked and autotuned for a 2011 audience, I don't blame them for blocking their use.I've never really watched Glee other than the part Neil Patrick Harris was in.

Glee isn't to bad, and from looking at the ratings alot people seem to agree.Anyway, I like how Slash didn't even give a reason for not leting the producers use a couple of songs...he just started talking about grease, which he said he thought was uncool, but over time....he realized it was brilliant. Kinda ironic in away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris1989 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Hmm.If Slash had said yes then everybody would be calling him a sell-out and whore much like Paradis Shitty with Fergie and Cypress Hill or w/e....If anybody wants to hear what Glee's SCOM sounds like, I guess it would be something like the acapella SCOM in "Stepbrothers" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Izzy_Stradlin_XX Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 It looks like they have some fine bitches on that show.That's kinda cool.But the show must be complete shit.Thank god for Slash and Axl not allowing them to rape the song.

dalsh327 Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Isn't "Glee" supposed to be a campy show? Axl professed his love for Chistina Aguilera, Duff got backstage at a Justin Bieber concert to impress his daughters, and my opinion is Slash whored out far worse by playing the Michael Jackson gig 10 years ago than allowing a TV show to cover their songs. They'll just go to Motley Crue and get them to contribute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black Sabbath Posted January 19, 2011 Share Posted January 19, 2011 Damn, that's got to be a smack in the face to Glee. Everyone they approach they probably expect them to allow the usage of songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
