Glee Creator Verbally Attacks Slash

(gibson) Appetite for Destruction continues to outsell most new album releases, so will people still be listening to Glee's auto-tuned karaoke in 25 years... or even 5 years? Something to ponder as you read about the ironic attack from the man who gave us this decade's answer to Cop Rock and the Partridge Family.

Glee creator Ryan Murphy might need a hug. After blasting the members of Kings of Leon in the press earlier this week and blaming their refusal to let the TV series use one of their songs on the band’s hatred of arts education, Murphy is taking on another rocker. Now, Slash is the object of Murphy’s scorn.

After Slash called Glee “worse than Grease” in Entertainment Weekly, Murphy lashed out at the guitarist via Rolling Stone. “Usually I find that people who make those comments, their careers are over; they’re uneducated and quite stupid,” Murphy said.

The former Guns N’ Roses guitarist previously said that he does not want to see Glee do a GN’R-themed episode or see one of the band’s songs sung on the show. “We got asked about that once already but it got turned down,” he said. “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 is currently opening for Ozzy Osbourne on his North American arena tour.
