Kurt Cobain Guitar Hero controversy continues

If you haven’t heard about all the controversy surrounding the Courtney Love/Kurt Cobain Guitar Hero 5 dispute, you must be hiding under a rock. It’s BIG news on pretty much every social media website on the net.

The latest news is that Bon Jovi has joined the ex-members of Nirvana in saying ‘”No” to an appearance in the game. Problems began when Courtney Love said that Kurt Cobain’s appearance in Guitar Hero 5 was a “breach of contract”.

Activision has responded to this saying that they:

“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.”
