Kurt Cobain to Blow Away Guitar Hero Fans
Essentially, Nirvana songs to appear in video game
He's dead as well. Cool.
The strapline to the official release reads, "Grunge Rock Pioneer and Icon Kurt Cobain to Make His Video Game Debut".
This, we thought, we'll have to see. Of course, our enthusiasm for corporate hyperbole mixed with bad taste is unbounded, but we were still a little sad to see that GH5 was not going to contain a seance. Instead, a CGI of Cobain will be performing Lithium and Smells Like Teen Spirit, a song about not very much at all really, it just sounds good for you to hum along to.
We agree with Tim Riley, Vice President of Music Affairs for Activision in his enthusiasm that, "This is the first time the original recording of 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' has ever been licensed in an entertainment property", and we're sure Kurt would be equally as stoked about the entertainment property IP franchise moving forward in such as positive way for all stakeholders involved in meeting the challenge.
Next up for GH and Nirvana, Rape Me, Territorial Pissings, I Hate Myself and Want to Die and Negative Creep. No, really, we're just blue sky thinking out of the box.
