If he were still alive, he would have signed up for this shit just to support his heroin addiction.

Yes... because that's entirely possible. Harmonix are musicians and you can tell by the way they make their games. Neversoft are IP/license perpetuators, nothing more.

I've currently got Kurt Cobain playing bass in my GH5 band. He was singer for a while, but seeing Kurt move that much was freaking me out, so I put Matt Bellamy in front again.

Game's awesome, though. Best GH yet.

I'm not outraged either...but fuck. Kurt is a legend, and he deserves a higher level of respect than what is given here. I wont be buying GH 5 now...that's for sure.

" 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. "

Well atleast the use of John Lennon is being respectful to not only each song, the meaning behind it, but also the time in which it was made by the beatles

I was seriously trying to think of a franchise that pulled something so heinous in one of its sequels that you could call it "jumping the shark". What did Sonic actually do to "jump the shark"? What was the virtual straw that broke the virtual camel's back?

@AvD: I see your point. The series in general is just becoming a complete mess. It should be taken out back and shot before any more problems arise.

Hahahaha...that's pretty funny. I mean, come on. He was just a man who took things way too seriously. And there's no reason to not be light-hearted about stuff. Everyone seems perfectly ok with mocking God or Jesus in today's society, so what's there to be offended about here when nothing is sacred?

Cobain himself would probably not like it, but he was too dire about everything anyway. This is of so little consequence to life that I am bemused to see it getting attention beyond a couple laughs.

I'm not horribly offended, but it does make you feel pretty uncomfortable. I really don't think Kurt Cobain himself would appreciate his likeness being used in the first place and now it kind of seems to be one of the selling points of this game. Along with avatars in the game and the whole Guitar Hero Van Halen deal it kind of smacks of desperation on Neversoft's part. In other words, not cool guys, show a little more respect for the dead.

I wish if they went this route, they took it all the way. Put Louis Armstrong, Johnny Cash, Pavarotti, Frank Sinatra, all sorts of dead legends and thoroughly disgrace their names by making them sing Blink 182 and Van Halen songs.

@WEGGLES:

I have to admit Weggles... I'm curious as to what her reaction will be, if you do show her:p

Now that that's out of the way, on to the general comment!

Kurt Cobain or not, musician or not, icon or not, it just seems really distasteful all around.

I guess some people want to preserve their memory of something, maybe for selfish reasons (but we all tend to do that in some way) or as part of a greater whole. This is the dev equivalent of someone taking that which you treasure most and just taking a huge shit they've been saving up for days all over it while you were out saving kittens and old ladies.

That's what he gets for committing suicide.

I liked Nirvana back in the day, when I dumb and naive. Incesticide is still a good album, but let's face it: the only good thing Nirvana ever did for us was kill the careers of people like Debbie Gibson, Paula Abdul, New Kids on the Block, and Poison.
