Dave Grohl Loathes 'Glee;' Foo Fighters Rock US Garages

Dave Grohl is not a fan of 'Glee'. The Foo Fighters' brainchild says he -- like Kings of Leon and Slash before him -- takes exception to industry pressures on artists to license songs to Ryan Murphy's TV show.

"It's every band's right, you shouldn't have to do f---ing 'Glee'," Grohl said after the SXSW premiere of his band's documentary, 'Foo Fighters: Back and Forth' this week. "And then the guy who created 'Glee' is so offended that we're not, like, begging to be on his f---ing show... f--- that guy for thinking anybody and everybody should want to do 'Glee.'"

"What a f---ing jerk," Grohl told The Hollywood Reporter. "Slash was the first one. He wanted to do Guns N' Roses and Slash is like, 'I hate f---ing musicals. It's worse than 'Grease'.' Then [Murphy's] like, 'Well, of course he'd say that, he's a washed up ol' rock star, that's what they f---ing do.' And then Kings of Leon say, 'No, we don't want to be on your show.' And then he's like, 'Snotty little a--holes...' And it's just like, 'Dude, maybe not everyone loves 'Glee'. Me included."

In related news, the Foo Fighters have announced a run of special US promotional dates for April in support of its upcoming album 'Wasting Light.' The Foo Fighters' Garage Tour is actually a contest that offers fans in certain North American Radio Markets the chance to have the band play in their garage before an audience of just 50 people.

These intimate dates pay homage to the approach the Foos took to make their new, Butch Vig-helmed album. The disc was recorded in Grohl's San Fernando Valley garage.

The Garage Tour contest dates and respective partnering radio stations are:

April 8 New York (WRXP 101.9)
April 13 Washington DC (DC 101)
April 14 Toronto (102.1 The Edge)
April 19 Chicago (Q101)
April 20 Minneapolis (93X Rocks)
April 25 Denver (Channel 93.3)
