I strongly disagree with this. The people with the will and desire to learn an instrument aren't going to decide not to because Guitar Hero is easier, and you you sure as hell can't teach yourself guitar in less time than it takes to learn a song on expert. Unless you're totally uncoordinated, but if you can't handle the song on expert then how will you manage with a real instrument anyway?

The point of trying to make here is whether you like Kurt Cobain's music or not (I'm not a particularly big Nirvana fan) no one can denied Kurt is the face of an entire genre of music & that featuring him in a Guitar Hero game, its a disrespectful use of his likeness.
If the use is disrespectful then point the finger at whoever signed over the rights to use it in the game. I'm not going to fault Activision for wanting to include the likeness of celebrities dead or otherwise to sell more copies. It's not their job to defend his image. Frankly, I couldn't care less as I utterly detest Nirvana, but if there's any finger pointing to be done, point them at Courtney Love.

I find it funny though that no one seems to care that Johnny Cash is in the game though.
