<p>Looks like the lawsuit between Activision and pissed-off rockers over Guitar Hero 5/Band Hero is still on the docket, if Courtney Love&#8217;s newest comments are any indication.</p>
<p><span id="more-77371"></span></p>
<p>According to an interview with <a href="http://www.nme.com/home" target="_new">NME Magazine</a>, Love says her late-husband Kurt Cobain would have been amused over &#8220;singing a Spice Girls song&#8221; in Band Hero, which is why she&#8217;s a bit conflicted over the lawsuit.</p>
<p>Still, she says that someone has to stand up for others in the music biz, so she is hopping on the white horse with the rest.</p>
<p>&#8220;What pisses me off the most about it, is I think Kurt would be fine with having five Kurt Cobains singing the song Wannabe, like, &#8216;Tell me what you want, what you really really want&#8217;, she told the mag (via <a href="http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/story/love-cobain-would-have-enjoyed-guitar-hero_1130298" target="_new">Contact Music</a>). &#8220;I think he&#8217;d find that really funny, but at the same time it&#8217;s gross what they did.</p>
<p>&#8220;<a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/11/05/no-doubt-files-lawsuit-against-activision-over-its-use-in-band-hero/" target="_new">Gwen (Stefani) started the lawsuit</a>. I have really good lawyers now and will join that lawsuit. There was this gray area and they fucked the lot of us. They didn&#8217;t fuck Jack White, but they fucked Gwen, fucked Johnny Cash and fucked Kurt&#8230; It&#8217;s just gross.</p>
<p>&#8220;This is the rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll business, this is what people do. They are sleazy [and] they do sleazy things.&#8221;</p>
<p>Former Nirvana members Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic also felt the Cobain bit was in bad taste, and even Jon Bon Jovi <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/09/17/bon-jovi-backs-love-in-gh5-cobain-spat/" target="_new">agreed</a>, telling the BBC that he personally &#8220;passed&#8221; on being included in either title.</p>
<p>The shit storm all started back in September, when Love when on a <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/09/10/courtney-love-to-sue-the-shit-out-of-activision/" target="_new">rant fueled Twitter rampage</a> against Activision on her now-canceled account, saying she was going to &#8220;sue the shit&#8221; out of the publisher &#8211; who responded citing it had <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/09/10/activision-secured-the-necessary-licensing-rights-to-use-cobain-in-gh5/" target="_new">obtained the &#8220;necessary rights&#8221;</a> to use Cobain&#8217;s iconic  image.</p>
<p>When we spoke with Love&#8217;s lawyer regarding her claims, he confirmed that there would indeed be legal action taken if Activision did not prohibit users of the game from <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/09/11/exclusive-courtney-loves-attorney-responds-to-use-of-cobain-in-guitar-hero-5/" target="_new">using Cobain&#8217;s image to sing the songs of others</a>.</p>
<p>Regarding the suit filed by No Doubt that Love plans to join, Activision in turn filed a countersuit against Gwen&#8217;s band, alleging <a href="http://www.vg247.com/2009/12/09/activision-files-countersuit-against-no-doubt-over-band-hero/" target="_new">breach of contract and unjust enrichment</a>.</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t expect a conclusion to this any time soon, kiddos.</p>
