Activision has put Kurt Cobain in some rather unsightly poses in “Guitar Hero 5″ and he looks pretty silly. Ever thought Kurt would be jamming out to “You Give Love A Bad Name” by Bon Jovi? How about rapping along to Public Enemy’s “Bring The Noise”? Kurt was also seen getting up close to sing Megadeth’s “Sweating Bullets”. While all are pretty decent songs, should Kurt’s image be used like this?

The video game makers have really done a number on Kurt and he is probably turning over in his grave as I write this.

This would be something that I would normally blame Courtney Love for. She’s sold him out before, so this wouldn’t be the first time. (continue reading…)

“Guitar Hero 5″ features Courtney Love’s late husband and iconic Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain in it. What a disgrace. I don’t think that’s what Kurt would’ve wanted AT ALL.

Shame on you, whoever’s behind that nonsense (ahem Court). See the trailer HERE. It wasn’t enough with the sneakers, the lunchboxes, and the lighters, was it?

We’ve just heard that legendary guitarist Carlos Santana is set to appear in the next Guitar Hero game. How cool is that!

The live version of “No One To Depend On” will be featured on the game as well as a playable version of Carlos himself.

The game is set for release in September. It’s about time! They’ve done Slash, and now Carlos is getting the GH treatment. I can’t wait!

Activision has just released the official band listing for Guitar Hero 5 and it’s good!

Among the coolest of bands on the list are Megadeth, Nirvana, Billy Squier, Iron Maiden, and Rammstein.
