Guns N Roses Turn Down Glee Offer

January 19, 2011
Guns N Roses Turn Down Glee OfferGuns N Roses have turned down the opportunity for their songs to feature in the hit US show Glee.

The band decided against allowing the show to feature such songs as 'Paradise City' and 'Welcome To The Jungle' in an episode.

"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 told Entertainment Weekly.

He added: "When 'Grease' came out I was like, 'Oh, c'mon, give me a break.' Actually, I look at 'Grease' now and think (that) between 'High School Musical' and 'Glee,' 'Grease' was a brilliant work of art."

Meanwhile, the first single from Lady Gaga's new album 'Born This Way' will appear on TV show Glee, it's been revealed.
