Courtney Love Sues Guitar Hero – Upset by how a Kurt Cobain avatar looks and acts in Guitar Hero 5, his widow, the always bizarre Courtney Love sues Activision.
In a Twitter tirade for the ages Courtney Love, the former Hole frontwoman, announced plans to sue Guitar Hero 5 publisher Activision over the way her late husband was represented in the game.
“For the record this Guitar Hero [expletive] is breach of contract on a Bullys part and there will be a proper addressing of this and retraction,” she posted on her Twitter account. “WE are going to sue the [expletive] out of ACtivision we being the Trust the Estate the LLC the various LLCs Cobain Enterprises.”
Kurt Cobain appears as one of five exclusive in-game artists in Guitar Hero 5, joining the likes of Carlos Santana and Johnny Cash as playable characters.
In particular, Love is incensed over the look of Cobain’s avatar, which can be used by gamers to play non-Nirvana songs with Cobain lip-synching along. Love insisted she “never signed off on the avatar, let alone this [expletive] feature” and that “there’s been four breaches of a very strict contract.”
Guita Hero 5 creator Activision’s vice president Tim Riley said working with Love was smooth and easy.
“Courtney supplied us with photos and videos,” he told The Guardian. “She picked the wardrobe and hairstyle, which turned out to be the ‘Teen Spirit’ look, then we went back and forth over changes – some subtle, some not so subtle.”
But Courtney Love somehow doesn’t remember it that way at all. From her Twitter feed:
“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 allowing GUITARHERO for me or for Kurt i am NOT yoko [expletive] Ono no ofense to her, but i am a different person entirely and this is insane.”
And that’s the latest on Courtney Love sues Guitar Hero.
