Let's Talk About... Roll Over, Kurt Cobain

Posted by Mark Lore on Tue, Sep 1, 2009 at 10:38 AM

First the Beatles, now The Man in Black... and the Man in Cardigan? Guitar Hero 5 was released today, and it features pixelated versions of Johnny Cash and Kurt Cobain performing their hits. Maybe Johnny wouldn't have a problem (Okay, maybe he would), but I can say with certainty that Cobain would never go for his image being manipulated by a bunch of toggle-happy teens, some of whom have likely never heard Nirvana's music. Does anybody think this is acceptable?

This probably makes the third, maybe fourth time Cobain has rolled over in his grave. Courtney Love, Dave Grohl—you rule.

I do not know which is more tasteless the video game or your commentary. Rest in peace, Kurt, your fans really do mean well, I think.
