Aliasalpha: Oh for fucks sake, its about him singing other people's songs.
http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/09/cobain-attorney-calls-for-activision-to-limit-musicians-use-in-gh5/
apparently he's too "special" for that and they want activision to lock him into doing his own shit alone.

Guitar Hero: Kurt Cobain anyone?
Everyone knows that all music rhythm games that are based around one artist (except maybe Beatles Rock Band, because The Beatles are awesome) never work. Remember Guitar Hero: Aerosmith? Jesus Christ, man.

This topic is so much lulz.
Kurt Kobain was an idiot. He does not deserve any respect. Any people who commit a suicide without a good goddamn reason do not deserve any respect.
so lulzy moment in GH when after finishing their song you shoot yourself with BB gun.

I gotta defend Kurt, even though I understand why people don't get him. Alot of us in the US loved underground music in the early nineties. I had been into punk for years, Growing up in MS, I always felt a little different and set apart from my classmates because I wasn't into Milli Vanilli or whatever. When Nirvana knocked MJ off the charts it was like a victory. People suddenly cared and wanted to know about the music I was into. I turned alot of my classmates onto bands like Sonic Youth during that time.
I can also understand why people think of Kurt as whiny or weak. The thing you have to look at is the stuff that this guy had been through. He went from being the town outcast, or freak, to the biggest songwriter on the planet. Imagine being called a "fag" daily and then being the biggest musician on the planet. He had self-esteem issues and a drug problem
I feel sympathy for him.
As far as GH5 goes, this is something that he would have hated, This is what he was fighting not to become. I was thinking about this today, as much as Beatles fans don't like Yoko Ono, she has done an excellent job protecting John's legacy. She uses his image to either promote causes he believed in, or in classy projects that strengthen his legacy. Mrs. Love? Not so much.

Aliasalpha: So when its hendrix prancing like a twat singing some girly pop shit its fine but not when cobain does it?
As an example, lets pretend that the rock band & guitar hero games have every song. When the beatles rock band comes out, you can have john lennon singing Cutting Crew's "Died in your arms tonight". Is this better or worse than cobain? What about Tupac being able to do ozzy osbourne's "Shot in the dark"? Or Mama Cass doing a cover of Tori Amos' "That's What I Like Mick (The Sandwich Song)"? (yes its not how she died but its the popular rumour). Janis Joplin singing ozzy's "Suicide solution"?
How do you protect the apparently cherished memory of all these people without locking them into performing their own material and nothing else? Wouldn.t help John Denver singing "Leaving On A Jet Plane"...

Well, the Beatles are completely isolated in their own games. Rock Band beatles cannot interact with other rock band games in ANY way, or vice versa.

No good reason? NO GOOD REASON? The man was married to COURTNEY LOVE!! If that's not a good reason to fellate a shotgun while playing footies with the trigger then I don't know what is!

Well, if his problem is Courtney Love, Cobain surely didn't aim his shotgun at the right place....

Maybe he'd just kissed her and was trying to get the taste out of his mouth

How the hell do you justify Johnny Cash bouncing around like Flava Flav?
Seriously, it's Johnny mother fuckin' Cash.
He'd just as soon as kick your ass than dance like a little girl.
And these n00bs want to go "ohh.. my pop rock star who gave up all care about his self image is bein' abused!!"
At least Johnny Cash didn't pick the pussy way out.

QFT. I love all this ridiculous angst over Kurt, yet I don't see the same concern over Jimi Hendrix (from the previous game) or Johnny Cash, both of whom were MUCH more important to the world of music.
