Courtney, Dave, Krist, Activision Fight Over Guitar Hero’s Controversial Kurt Cartoon

Who to believe, who to believe. As you know, Guitar Hero 5 features a playable Kurt Cobain avatar which you can unlock to have the Nirvana icon cover Bush, stunt like Flavor Flav, and roll over in his grave. Everybody’s coming down on Courtney Love for licensing this atrocity, so Courtney Love very calmly took to Twitter to call out Activision and threaten filing suit.

Kurt Cabain is the Guitar Hero who was raped for free

One of the most hilarious piece of gossip this morning is that Kurt Cobain is apparently an unlockable character in Guitar Hero now, and his widow, the ever-screaming, ocassionally lucid Courtney Love took no time to start screaming rape and murder on Twitter: “we get NO money for this, travesty, Frances gets NO money for the rape.” So I took the time to look up how Kurt Cobain is being raped on Guitar Hero, and turns out he looks very much like himself, a little less suicidal, and fairly decent actually: A little high maybe, but no Courtney Love, not raped. But mind you, this is Courtney Love, the woman who was once married to our dear Guitar Hero Kurt Cobain before he killed himself: So I guess I can understand the rape sentiment on Kurt Cobain’s part. Your life must have been hard bro, RIP.

Nirvana members issue statement against Kurt Cobain’s Guitar Hero avatar

Fans of Activision’s Guitar Hero game can master enough songs to unlock the likeness of Kurt Cobain to help them shred on songs that are way beneath Nirvana. Granted, Nirvana tunes weren’t exactly complex symphonies but do you think Cobain really wanted to be seen jamming on Bon Jovi’s “You Give Love A Bad Name?” Kurt’s sense of irony notwithstanding, me neither. And Krist Novaselic and Dave Grohl (Kurt’s bandmates in the seminal band) agree
