BON JOVI ON GUITAR HERO COBAIN: "I WOULDN'T LIKE IT EITHER"

There's been some controversy over the Kurt Cobain avatar in Guitar Hero 5 - it doesn't just sing Nirvana songs, you can have it sing songs by other artists - as has often been mentioned in the press (and on this very blog) - Bush (Nirvana lite) and Bon Jovi (the anti-Nirvana). Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl have asked Activision to "lock" the character so that it only sings Nirvana songs, and somehow Courtney Love has blamed this on Activision, Grohl, everyone but herself. But in an interview with the NME, Guitar Hero's CEO said that Kurt Cobain's estate "cashed the check." Does anyone else from the estate cash the checks other than Courtney?

As for Jon Bon Jovi, who I remember making fun of Nirvana and grunge music in general in a music video years ago, even he doesn't like it, as he recently told BBC News. He said he wouldn't want to hear someone else's song coming out of a cartoon version of himself.
