LOVE: ‘COBAIN WOULD HAVE ENJOYED GUITAR HERO’
COURTNEY LOVE feels conflicted over her legal battle against the makers o= f Guitar Hero - because she’s convinced her husband KURT COBAIN would hav= e adored the video game.
Gaming giant Activision included the late rocker as a character in Guit= ar Hero 5, which was released last year (09), allowing players to use Cob= ain’s image to perform a number of other artists’ songs.
Nirvana stars Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic were "dismayed" that their= former bandmate could be seen rocking out on other groups’ hits, while L= ove threatened to sue over the game.
But the Hole rocker insists Cobain would have enjoyed playing Guitar He= ro.
She tells Britain’s NME magazine, "What p**ses me off the most about it= is I think Kurt would be fine with having five Kurt Cobains singing the = (Spice Girls) song Wannabe, like, ‘Tell me what you want, what you really= really want.’… I think he’d find that really funny.
"But at the same time it’s gross what they did. Gwen (Stefani) started = the lawsuit. I have really good lawyers now and will join that lawsuit. T= here was this grey area and they f**ked the lot of us. They didn’t f**k J= ack White, but they f**ked Gwen, f**ked Johnny Cash and f**ked Kurt… It= ’s just gross. This is the rock ‘n’ roll business, this is what people do= .. They are sleazy; they do sleazy things." Stefani’s band No Doubt is suing Activision over the same issue in Band= Hero, a spin-off of the hit Guitar Hero game.
