KURT COBAIN IN GUITAR HERO 5
Monday, August 31st, 2009 at 11:00am by Axl RosenbergIf you’re famous, one of the biggest problems with being dead is that you lose all control over how your “estate” (read: family that needs money) uses abuses your legacy. Case in point: Kurt Cobain is apparently going to be in Guitar Hero 5.
Now, I’m not one of these people who has a problem with Guitar Hero or rhythm games in general – I find them entertaining, and I’m not an alarmist who thinks they mean kids are gonna stop learning to play real instruments.
But I feel like Cobain is definitely the kind of stick-up-his-ass dude who would have a problem with Guitar Hero. Still, Francis Bean gotta eat Courtney Love gotta shoot up, so there’s Kurt in all his pixelated glory.
I’m shocked that Dimebag hasn’t been included in a rhythm game yet. I’d wager that his estate is working on that right about now.
-AR
For some reason I thought Dime was on one of the guitar hero’s somewhere….
Well Pantera songs have been used in GH and Rock band, but his likeness hasn’t.
It’s only a matter of time though.
Just goes to show you that you really shouldn’t get famous and die.
By the way:
What’s big, red, and has more brains than Kurt Cobain….
….the wall behind him.
lulzorz.
Awesome.
Guitar hero sucks balls, its used to be fun but this game has a setlist I wouldnt wipe my ass with, it has maybe 5 good songs.
I’m a fan of Guitar Hero but I have to agree with you on this one. An Attack! Attack! song? Seriously?
I think Attack Attack! is the one who has a song in Guitar Hero. Attack! Attack! is the shitty pop-emo-core-crab one.
The exclamation marks make all of the difference.
Other way around, according to Google. I’m saddened by the fact that I bothered to Google it.
There are two of them? Does that need to happen?
Just bear in mind, it’s the shitty UK Attack! Attack! that sounds like a Franz Ferdinand ripoff, not the shitty Attack Attack! crabcore band.
Wow, that’s a lot of shitty Attack Attacks.
Yep… the name’s pretty stupid already, and yet there are two bands that wanted to use it? Egad.
On a side note, I discovered that Attack Attack! made a second video for that shitty song they did the first video for. Fucking shit. There’s more douchetarded group headbanging, guitar flips, and there’s definitely more crabcore stuff (although it’s harder to see). The song is still utter shite, of course. Here’s a link for you brave motherfuckers. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2D8CPXVhNsQ&feature=player_embedded
I’d rather have a Franz Ferdinand ripoff than… well… you know.
I agree, this setlist sucks
And so does Nirvana
BLEEP BLOOP BLUPP
Your opinion is invalid.
BLEEP
“Bleach” was great for what it was.
I’ll second that Bleach was great for what it was.
Everything else? So trite, so impotent, so…bleh.
Looks like Kurt is trying to do a new Godfather movie with those puffy assed cheeks.
Way to be 2nd tier to Rockband as well!
Courtney Love is a cum gargling whore who needs money to fund her fake existence.
Personally, I think it is a GOOD thing if kids stop playing instruments. There is such a glut of shitty bands out there in the independent scene, it would be nice to cut some fat and free up some breathing room for the rest of us (especially the old timers.) That’s right! This is a “damn kids” rant. Being in a band doesn’t mean what it used to…
Get off my lawn!!! XD

2 Minutes to Midnight – Iron Maiden

damn, for a second there I thought Guitar Hero was getting some Gamma Ray music.
I was in high school when Nirvana broke out all crazy and shit. I watched all the trendy ass girls in my school go from being all snotty and wearing immaculate brand new clothes, to wearing ripped up blue jeans and flannel shirts. Like in a matter of like three days. These were girls who wanted nothing to do with my burn-out metal head friends and I one week. And the very next monday at school they all wanted a piece of us. It was rad. But the best part was…We all fucking hated Nirvana!! We were all into Gwar and Slayer and shit.

Bear Witness fuckers.
That’s Johnny Cash on Drums, Santana on Bass, Bellamy from Muse singing, and Kurt headbanging (and playing righty!) to an Elton John song.
God bless you GH5, you cash grab whore of a videogame.
………..wtf…….Yea guitar hero is entertaining but it pisses me off cause kids these days play shit like guitar hero and rock band and then state they know all about rock/metal. It’s good that kids are playing games with amazing music but that dose not make em know everything…..Oh not Dimebag…why does he have to be dragged into the game. He better not be it’ll be…..uh…sad.
Why the fuck do you even bother ?
ban this guitar hero filth!
Axl, I think you’re dead (pardon the pun) wrong on this one. Cobain was the poster child for the “Look at me, look at me! WHY are you looking at me?!” syndrome. He did EVERYTHING he could possibly do to become famous (MTV videos, Rolling Stone cover anyone?) and then spent the few years until he swallowed the barrel moaning about how he never wanted to become famous.
My guess is he would’ve okayed the Guitar Hero release and then complained about how his privacy was being assaulted.
pantera had a live version of cowboys from hell on the original guitar hero
unlock the secret code to blow cobains head off
your all cunts. really, fuck youre annoying
Im not surprised Dime hasnt been included on a rhythm game yet. You couldnt play his stuff even on a game lol.
