Finn and Rachel won't be singing "Everlong" any time soon.
Foo Fighters front man Dave Grohl doesn't believe bands should feel pressured to allow their music to be performed on Glee.
"It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do fucking Glee," Grohl, 42, told The Hollywood Reporter. "Dude, maybe not everyone loves Glee. Me included. I watched 10 minutes and it wasn't my thing."
But the former Nirvana drummer directed most of his ire at Ryan Murphy, the creator of the Fox hit, who earlier this year made disparaging remarks about the Kings of Leon and Guns N' Roses legend Slash after they refused to lend their music to the program.
"The guy who created Glee is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his fucking show," said Grohl. "Fuck that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do Glee."

I have to agree with Dave Grohl. Artists shouldn't have to sign over their music to Glee just because Ryan Murphy thinks he's the second coming. Nor should they be disparaged by RM et al and the show's fans, because they choose not to, regardless of the reason.
