Courtney Doesn’t Love Guitar Hero 5 So Much
Posted by Bram Teitelman on Thu, Sep 10, 2009 at 4:33 pm
There’s nothing creepier/funnier than watching Kurt Cobain sing songs that he wouldn’t be caught dead listening to on Guitar Hero 5, where the deceased Nirvana frontman is an unlockable character. However, Courtney Love doesn’t feel the same way. While it was initially reported that she was an active participant in the creation of her ex-husband’s likeness for the game, that must have been while she was on her meds.
In a Twitter rampage, Love unleashed a ton of invective towards lawyers, Dave Grohl, and Activision, among others, stating that she’s going to sue Activision. Unless you can read crazy, I wouldn’t suggest looking at the whole thing, but here’s a few choice tweets:
we have NOTHING to do with this it was presented to me and oi said “show me a better avataR” TO DRAG MY HEELS., never did i intend on
allowing GUITARHERO for me or for Kurt i am NOT yoko fucking Ono no ofense to her, but i am a different person entirely and this is insaneabout 11 hours ago from web

and you wonder about Guitar Hero 5 disgusted? welcome to my NIGHTMARE. yeah well sue activision this is disgusting, but theres alot MOREabout 11 hours ago from web
YOU for dismissing me as a LOON, go fucking play guitar hero commit necrophilai KNOW you are raping me and my family
On the one hand, I can understand that she wants her daughter to be taken care of. But even from reading the tweets, it’s apparent that she at least had meetings with Activision. And they wouldn’t put have put Kurt in the game without getting the OK from lawyers. Oh well, whatever, nevermind

Take 2:
Nasty Little Man:
“Guitar Hero secured the necessary licensing rights from the Cobain estate in a written agreement signed by Courtney Love to use Kurt Cobain’s likeness as a fully playable character in Guitar Hero® 5.”
Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl, the two surviving members of Nirvana, have no say whatsoever in the usage of Kurt Cobain’s likeness.

Grohl and Novaselic issue a statement asking Activision to re-lock Kurt’s character.
