New Kurt Cobain Movie Drama: Who’ll Play Kurt?

Published February 22nd, 2010 by Karen

VIDEO: Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain in a rare duet. Will fans blame Love if the new movie is bad?

As though his corpse hasn’t been abused enough by tacky videogames, publishers printing his diaries and filmmakers offering thinly disguised movies based on his death (Gus Van Sant’s unwatchable Last Days), Kurt Cobain is set to be dissected once again, this time in a full-fledged biopic based, in part, on the 2001 book Heavier than Heaven by Continue reading »

It was inevitable, really. That’s the thought that springs to mind upon hearing the buzz that Frances Bean Cobain, the daughter of Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, is finally set to make her musical debut.

Love recently made headlines after writing some pretty nasty things about her daughter after Frances decided she’d like to leave home and live with Cobain’s family instead.

There is seemingly never a shortage of news related to Courtney Love and once in a while that news is actually related to her music.

Although she recently made headlines after publicly attacking her underage daughter, Frances Bean Cobain, Love’s latest controversy involves her band Hole—or at least the band’s name.

After releasing a panned and ignored solo album under her own name, the 45-year-old singer/guitarist has announced plans to return to using the band name Hole when her upcoming album, Nobody’s Daughter, is complete.

After having lost custody of daughter Frances Bean Cobain earlier this week (for the second time), it’s safe to bet that  Courtney Love may not be winning a mother of the year award any time soon.

However, after her cruel attack on the girl online, she may be nominated for worst mother of the year instead. Continue reading »

Courtney Love to Sue Guitar Hero 5: “I Loathe it and Kurt Would, Too”

The release of Guitar Hero 5 was met with negative reactions from many music fans due to its inclusion of Kurt Cobain as a playable character capable not only of singing  Nirvana songs, but of dancing and lips-synching to hits by everyone from Bon Jovi to Bush. (See video below).

So what do Cobain’s widow and his Nirvana bandmates think about it? Continue reading »

Kurt Cobain Sings Bon Jovi? Courtney Love Sucks.

Published September 2nd, 2009 by Karen

ABOVE: A look at some of the horrors inflicted on Kurt Cobain in Guitar Hero 5…Kurt looks happier singing Bon Jovi in a video game than he looked singing Nivana songs in real life.

Ok, when we found out about Kurt Cobain’s scheduled appearance in Guitar Hero 5, we were mildly disgusted. The idea that Courtney Love would sell off yet another sliver of her late husband’s dignity for a few more bucks was somewhat disheartening. (Top 10 Worst Cobain-Related Products)

(Although, really, Cobain may have lost all rights to “dignity” the day he offed himself with a gun. Courtney might as well have saved him, stuffed him and sold him to the Rock’n'roll Hall of Fame.)

However, now that we’ve seen this video game monstrosity in full form, we’re really pretty creeped out by it.

Seeing Cobain’s lifeless cartoon image dancing and singing hits by Bush, Billy Idol and Bon Jovi is kinda like seeing a corpse strung up and made to dance around like a marionette.  Not that seeing cartoon Cobain sing his own songs is any better, really. Think Weekend at Bernie’s Goes Grunge. We imagine forcing video Cobain to perform a Foo Fighters song will be worth zillions of points.

Every detail is there: from the worn cardigan and t-shirt to the 5 o’clock shadow and greasy blond highlights, making Cobain’s bouncing dance to Billy Idol’s “Dancing with Myself” all the more unsettling.

Then again, maybe a video game with Jim Morrison fighting alien zombies would be cool (kidding).

A game where you could throw tomatoes (or Foo Fighters CDs) at Courtney would be pretty awesome though (not really kidding).

Do you think it is wrong to have Cobain in a video game?
Is this really any better/worse than having Jimi Hendrix or the (dead) Beatles in a game?
