Jan 18 (THAINDIAN NEWS) Despite the fact that many musical artists are lining up, hoping for their chance to be featured in a episode of Glee, Gun N’ Roses has chosen to join the list of those who have turned the Golden Globe winning hit television show down, including such names as Gorillaz, Kings of Leon, and Coldplay, although Coldplay has since reconsidered.

In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, the former guitarist for the band Guns N’ Roses shared that he and the band’s front man, Axl Rose were approached by the producers of the musical comedy series, and asked about the possibility of one of the show’s themes being based on GNR hits, but Slash was not at all flattered by the offer.

Slash explained his feelings quite clearly with this statement, “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. Glee is worse than Grease and Grease is 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.’”
