Recently it was announced that Kurt Cobain will in Guitar Hero 5. While many people thought this was tacky, many assumed that the developers gained the rights to do this. Well as it turned out, it seems like they didn't. Courtney Love has revealed on her twitter (the only way people get news now) that she is planning on suing over this.

We thought she was on board?!

Although it was tacky to begin with, the playable Kurt Cobain character on Guitar Hero 5 is a travesty!

    People sue over everything nowadays. FFS It only increases his popularity. Oh well.

      Yeah, but cocaine is expensive. She can't be expected to do actual work for money; that would be unreasonable.

    Curt Cobain is overrated and Courtney Love is only famous because he's dead, i wish that we'd stop hearing anything about both of them tbh.

    Good. I'm glad because, being a huge Cobain fan, I was extraordinarily pissed how he was used in the game. It wasn't the likeness, no that turned out pretty good. No, it was the fact you could have him sing ANY song. If any of you have seen that certain vid on youtube than you know how sick this could make some fans. I doubt she'll win, but it just solidifies Activions stupidity a little more.

      Did somebody dial Whine-one-one?

      As much as I dislike Bobby Kotick, Courtney Love is seriously full of shit. Always has been, always will be. I believe people were thinking of her when they came up with the phrase "crazy bitch."

    Ah. Very good, Courtney. Agree to get some money, and then - oh, look, people aren't very happy with it. So, what's the answer? Defend Activision? Say sorry? No! You jump on a bandwagon you started and end up looking like a dick.
