Theres a little buzz around musical/comedy/drama show '
Glee' going on right now. After Kings of Leon and Guns 'n' Roses not wanting to have their music on the show, Foo Fighter Dave Grohl just jumped on the bandwagon and told
Ryan Murphy (Nip/Tuck, Glee) to "f*ck off" and not to use songs of the Foo Fighters in Glee - ever.
Murphy's ego appareantly could not handle the fact that some musicians, or even some people at all, don't like '
Glee' so he was going on a rant about Slash and all the other musicians who basically told 'Glee' to f*ck off. Foo Fighters drummer Taylor Hawkins described the situation like this:
"The Glee guy, what a f***ing jerk. Slash was the first one. He wanted to do Guns 'n' Roses and Slash is like, 'I hate f***ing 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***ing do.' And then Kings of Leon say, 'No, we don't want to be on your show.' And then he's like, 'Snotty little assholes...' And it's just like, Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included."
As you can see a lot of drama about a -in my opinion- mediocre show. It's not the first time either that Ryan Murphy upsets people. Back in the days when
Nip/Tuck still was one of the best TV Shows ever (around season 1 to 3) Murphy decided he is getting more and more bored with
Nip/Tuck and, atleast thats what the Nip/Tuck community said, was basically just letting it die.
Nip/Tuck stopped production after its 100th episode and well fans of
Nip/Tuck may see where I am going here: it was a disaster for something like that last 30-40 episodes.
Murphy started working on
Glee and stopped caring at all for
Nip/Tuck, the show lost most of its dramatic value and was entering a sea of obscure and downright terrible storylines that not even the highly talented
Dylan Walsh (Sean McNamara) and
Julian McMahon (Christian Troy) could save. Don't get me wrong here,
Nip/Tuck STILL is in my personal Top-5 of the best TV-Shows of all time, but it could have been so much better if Murphy didn't decide to focus on
Glee and let
Nip/Tuck die.
What do you guys think, is Murphy an asshole or is
Glee just THAT good that musicians all over the world should feel proud to get their songs featured?
