Guns N' Roses have reportedly turned down the hit show's request to feature their songs, according to Entertainment Weekly. In a Sunday interview with the magazine, Slash said didn't give details on how the band voted, but made it clear that if it were solely up to him, he'd rather be watching 'Grease.'
"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,'" he said.
"When 'Grease' came out I was like, 'Oh, c'mon, give me a break,'" Slash, who's currently touring with Ozzy Osbourne, said. "Actually, I look at 'Grease' now and think (that) between 'High School Musical' and 'Glee,' 'Grease' was a brilliant work of art."
Guns N' Roses are one of just a handful of high-profile musical acts to decline the invitation. Coldplay and Kings of Leon have passed on the show, but given that Glee becomes more of a cultural juggernaut every week, both have been rumored to be reconsidering the offer.

I do believe GNR is probably not a good fit as would Iron Maiden or most heavy metal.
On the other hand I enjoy watching show as fun light entertainment
