If you play video games, you may have heard about Kurt Cobain being a playable avitar in the new Guitar Hero 5 game. This has (no surprise) brought contraversy galore as the Nirvana camp didn't read the fine print when they signed about him being UNLOCKABLE meaning that he is available as a character reguardless if it's a Bon Jovi song or AFI... So Courtney Love is suiting up (again) for court to try to correct her mistake (all the while trying to shift blame to Dave Grohl...)...

In my OPINION, (read: this is only an editorial...) Since they decided to do the video game thing, they should have just done a Guitar Hero or Rock Band : Nirvana game. That way CL, DG, and KN could have complete control over all songs featured in game and they could have brought in their buddies Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr., The Breeders, etc... Now that would have been a guitar game I would actually WANT to play... None of this 40 crappy songs for like 10 good ones that I see in the current games out...

Which guitar hero/rock band games have 10 good songs 40 crappy songs. I would argue a lot of them are closer to 40 good songs 10 crappy songs. Also, I'm pretty sure NIRVANA wouldn't have enough songs to fill out a game. That and most games already have 1-2 NIRVANA songs.

Here's a rough list of Nirvana originals, in other words, no cover songs in the list...

As opinions in music are extremely subjective (ever hear of the theory of relativity??...) I GUARANTEE your idea of good/crappy is way different from mine...

Anyways... I'm NOT talking about making a game full of top 40 hits. I'm talkin a game filled w/ music from the last great scene in music; as in bands like: Sonic Youth, Mudhoney, TAD, the Fluid, Dinosaur Jr., Soundgarden, Alice In Chains, etc... But the product would be highlighted with an extended Nirvana catalog to draw in the mainstream to make it marketable...

This is only what I WISH they had done w/ the whole Cobain avitar thing since they are going to rape his image anyway... May as well be at least something Kurt himself wouldn't have had a problem with...
