Yes they have gone to far .:o

:'( Kurt killed himself in April of 1994. In the town I lived in it affected people so much that there were 7 - SEVEN - copycat suicides... Two were friends of mine. Courtney Love, Dave Grohl, and Krist Novoselic have obviously turned into the exact type of people that Kurt did NOT want to turn into. Also, I have been to a Nirvana concert and the fans did not sound like that. Those sound like fans from a teenie-bopper concert. Do not blame Activision for this. Blame the three I mentioned above, for they are the ones with the rights... I never did like Dave Grohl... Poor Kurt.. hopefully the money gets to Frances Bean..

I never liked Nirvana -- I thought they were really just an unrefined garage band from Seattle. Most disagree with me. But really, does it matter what people do with it now? Does it really cheapen the "artistic accomplishment" of what Nirvana supposedly accomplished? Does it take away the way it made you feel about their music? If it does, then was it really that great? Great art lives on, no matter what others do with it in the future. If people ruin it when their treatment of it, then was it really great enough to stand on its own for posterity?

I'm not even going to say what I thought was going to happen. I honestly thought it was a fan-made thing at first, which is probably what was throwing me off.

@Lance: I'm really sorry for your losses man and I totally get your point about Courtney, Dave and Chris and agree with you on it. I'm also sorry that this post brought back hard memories for you, It was never my intention. @Jason: The feeling that listening to Nirvana gave me when I was in my early teens will never be taken away from me, you're completely right on that. But I don't know, there's something about these things that bothers me, It's going to sound really extreme, but it's like being told that someone's developing a slick third person shooter where you play Ché Guevara during his fight in Cuba.

@Roberto - I am totally cool! No worries, I was just trying to express that if they made a game about John Lennon being in a FPS killing people to a mixed version of "Give death a Chance" people would be mad. And I am mad that they are using his LIKENESS ON STAGE. They should just use the generic rocker guy. It is just like an extra slap in the face to what Kurt said he killed himself for - whether that was the real reason or not. @Jason - If you don't like song Aneurysm then you are missing out... and yes the were an unrefined garage band from Seattle, but they were BEST unrefined garage band from Seattle, and they got a lot of people into music...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, Lance. Slow down a second. Keep Grohl and Novaselic out of this. Neither of them have a majority stake in Nirvana's music anymore -- Love and her daughter are the primary rights holders. All recent commercial decisions have been at the direction of Love and Frances Bean.

What's the problem? Yeah, he's dead, so what? How is it taboo to have him in the game? Think of it as an homage. I've seen people dedicate works of art to dead friends and relatives before. How is this different from a mural or a posthumous biopic? Looks harmless to me, personally. I was never a big fan of theirs but I wasn't a hater, either. And keep in mind this was done with his family's consent.
