The two living members of seminal grunge band Nirvana, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic, are none too happy with former band member Kurt Cobain’s appearance in Guitar Hero 5. While the two have no legal say over Kurt Cobain’s image, an official statement released by the two says “While we were aware of Kurt’s image being used with two Nirvana songs, we didn’t know players have the ability to unlock the character.”

Unlocking the character allows users to select Cobain’s image to sing any song on the game, something that Cobain would likely have disapproved of if he had not committed suicide in 1994. Both Grohl and Novoselic have suggested that Activision “re-lock” the Cobain character so that he can only be used for the Nirvana songs available for play in-game. I think that’s fair. What would Kurt do?
