" @Damian: So what you're saying is Kurt Cobain needs to be carrying a fat bottle of Orange Drink. "

Wow, people weren't kidding when they said the avatars didn't fit. I thought they just meant the graphical style clashed with the realistic models in Rock Band, but fuck, it doesn't even look like it's there! It looks like a crappy CGI backup dancer badly inserted into a music video from the early 90s.

I pretty much agree with everything Jeff said 100%.
 
This is just wrong.

Woah, Jeff too soon with the shotgun joke... lol jk. Weird I saw this randomly on YT like a  day or so ago. Cool that it's getting press here.

Putting Kurt in this games goes against everything the man stood for and is exactly the kind of corporate BS that crushed him. Yes folks I care.

" Neversoft is a joke. Fuck that studio and it's entire non-musician workforce. "

The avatars look ridiculous standing next to actual characters, they look patched on rather than a new feature. 
I feel like if another 6 months had been added to this game and a fully customizable character creator would be much more appealing than, "ooo look...my crappy avatar is playing drums!" 
 
And invisible instruments, when would you want that on? Of course when would you ever want Kurt Cobain on....ever?

I think whoever made this video has a sick... but AWESOME sense of humour. Seriously, some of you guys need to lighten up a little.

Never really got into Nirvana, but I can see how this would upset loads of their fans : /

sadly with music being so terrible these days most of the virtua musicians will be dead.
But how stupid do Neversoft  have to be..limit them to their own songs.

" EDIT: Also the crowd are still a mass of half hearted clones in GH. "

kurt cobain would be the one rockstar who would NOT want to be a part of this. I hope his daughter gets all of the royalties from it though. that poor child has gone through way too much not to get it.

Why do so many people think someone who put a shotgun in their mouth would be so full of self-respect that they wouldn't appear in this game? If Kurt Cobain were alive today, he'd be nearly forgotten, and therefore be cashing in on his one-time stardom.

Such is the way of mainstream rock and roll. I think it's a pretty good analogy. "

This is ridiculous, i'm not a big Nirvana fan but I appreciatted Kobain for standing for what he believed and Neversoft could at least have payed some respect for what the man was and stood for.

Not really offended.  He's a rock musician, GH puts virtual versions of popular ones in their games, DOA.  Why should Kurt be off limits?  No one said anything about Jimi Hendrix... are Cabain fans more sensitive?

Nah, it's not too soon Jeff. The guy blew his head off 15yrs ago. People need to get over it.

Guitar Hero is harder than Rock Band, and Rock Band just doesn't look nice. 

Wow, just wow.

Im not offended or anything, I think it's pretty funny But I still respect Cobain very much

Dude, forget rolling, I think Kurt's just gonna get up out of his grave and start fuckin' eating people.

" are Cabain fans more sensitive? "

Mother of god...

This is wrong.

See, this is another example of Neversoft not even really caring. If Harmonix had the rights for Cobain's likeness they probably would have shown some restraint because they care about the music. But Neversoft just kind of threw him in there at the last second. This is why I haven't bought a Guitar Hero game since 2.

I'm usually not such a stickler about little things like this, but something about this is wrong to me and maybe it is just because I'm a fan of his work. This game could have gone without this, definitely. It is too bad.

like kurt cobain

Kinda made me sick to watch. Looks like a robot (or robots) with Cobain's skin and scary cartoon characters dancing around him mockingly. This is surely the stuff of nightmares.

Nirvana Schmirvana.

I was too young to care about Nirvana, but even I know that this is creepy and sort of wrong.

Whoever suggested putting Cobain in the game and ratified it is/are going to hell. Hilarious, hilarious hell.

THAT IS FUCKED UP!

" Neversoft is a joke. Fuck that studio and it's entire non-musician workforce. "

My sister, a Nirvana fan, didn't like the Nirvana song in GH2, as it's something she thought cobain wouldn't have wanted.. I'm afraid to show her this D:

I've only played a little Guitar Hero but I noticed a whole lot of satanic imagery in the one I played.  I can only assume this is how satan would prefer people remember Kurt Cobain as; a sell-out clown like the rest of them.  He's the one who likes all the pretty songs and he likes to sing along and he likes to shoot his gun but he don't know what it means.  I see five pages of comments but I'm holding out hope that I'm the first to connect In Bloom to this nonsense.  If not, I'm still the winner. 

Yeah I'm a Nirvana fan, and yes as funny as it is, it's in fairly poor taste, but my question is why has no-one mentioned John Lennon yet? He would have fucking despised being a video game. I fully aware he is singing his own songs but I can guarantee he would never signed his likeness away that quickly after years of shitty, poorly advised Beatles merchandise.

I'm digging on Brad on guitar.

I see the hate is strong with this series still.  I was a Nirvana fan growing up and just having him in the game is cool imo.

Do we have a term for when a video game franchise "jumps the shark"?

I want to say this is mildly disrespectful but I don't really hold Cobain with the same reverence I did as a teen/tween, and I don't think most adolescents these days give a shit about him either.
 
That said this clip doesn't do much to counteract my opinion that neversoft and activision are pretty tasteless outfits.

How about some respect, if not for Kurt Cobain's legacy, for the dead? I'm not a megafan of Nirvana, but Christ, this is about the most tasteless thing I've seen all day. This almost guarantees that I won't be buying anymore Guitar Hero products. This sure as hell ain't my idea of immortalization.
