Cobain Would Hate Guitar Hero, Courtney Says

Kurt Cobain's widow and Hole frontwoman Courtney Love posted a series of messages on her Twitter account over the last 24 hours about objections she had to her late husband's appearance in Guitar Hero 5, starting with a proclamation stating:

FOR THE RECORD I DID NOT APPROVE KURTS AVATAR FOR GUYITARHERO5. i think Kurt would despise this game alone let alone this avatar

She later added:

now theyre just LIQUIDATING kurt and IM THE DEVIL? I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GUITAR HERO I LOATHE IT AND FIND IT ODIOUS KURT WOULD HAVE TOO

Love did admit to speaking with Guitar Hero publisher Activision, writing in back-to-back tweets:

we have NOTHING to do with this it was presented to me and oi said "show me a better avataR" TO DRAG MY HEELS., never did i intend on allowi

allowing GUITARHERO for me or for Kurt i am NOT yoko fucking Ono no ofense to her, but i am a different person entirely and this is insane

Kotaku, however, contacted Activision and received a reply from the company, in which they said "Guitar Hero 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"

Love has just recently shot back, stating that her agreement with the company wasn't as solid, saying:

activision is fulllof shit they have a a contcrct called a deal memo that said upon approvale they could use an avatar i approved i .

and i never inteneded to aPPROVE this shit, they are doing a recall you can be sure o fthat. waita ew hours maybe tomorrow press and etc
