The girl that everyone loves to hate, Courtney Love has spoken up like all the other drug riddled celebrities do when they want to RAGE. They go on their Twitter accounts and put it out there for all their loser followers to see first.

Activision, the creator of the Guitar Hero franchise, has released Guitar Hero 5 with the image of Curt Cobain as an avatar. Cobain’s Earthly “love”, Courtney Love says that it is illegal to use his image with out her consent. Apparently nobody knows if they got any consent at all as Activision has yet to respond to the accusations.

Let me make a wild guess though as to whether or not Activision, the people that have worked with Metallica, The Beatles, Ozzy Osborne, and many other legendary musicians to get their consent, or Courtney Love who could use a bit of eye wrinkle cream and another stint in rehab are correct.

Let’s just say that if I were a betting man, I would put my money on Activision doing their due diligence in this case.

Unless you have been living under a rock the last few years you have probably heard of the game, Guitar Hero, which let’s anyone who can’t actually play a guitar feel like they can. The Romantics have decided to sue Activision Inc., the maker of “Guitar Hero,” saying the popular video game infringes on the band’s rights by featuring a soundalike recording of its 1980 hit “What I Like About You.”

The song is one of about 30 songs featured on “Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the ’80s.” The band also is seeking an injunction that could take the best-selling game off store shelves. Which isn’t going to happen, because they will get paid off like they want anyways. I love how bands can sue for songs that sound sort of like their own and then get rewarded for it. Yeah…this is a rip-off, but changed enough that they can’t claim it can they? LOL

Just keep your eyes on your ebel watches as this is sure to be taken care of in a timely matter. </sarchasm>

Also, It is probably a good idea to snag this game right now isn’t it since it could be taken off shelves and be worth a bit of cash? I’m not saying it will be, but Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the ’80s may very well have a nice history in the years to come if you can get it with that song on it still. Kind of like the old “Hot Coffee” edition of GTA. That one was worth about twice it’s retail value when it got pulled when it was sold on Ebay immediately after.
