Jon Bon Jovi has spoken out about Kurt Cobain's character use in Guitar Hero 5 saying he can understand why the late-legend's Nirvana band mates are angry.

As well as the two Nirvana songs on the game, the Kurt Cobain facsimile can play along to any other song on the game – including Bon Jovi's 'You Give Love A Bad Name'.

Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl issued a statement last week saying they were “dismayed and very disappointed” with the game makers.

Echoing their sentiment, Jon Bon Jovi told the BBC: "I don't know that I would have wanted it either.

"To hear someone else's voice coming out of a cartoon version of me? I don't know. It sounds a little forced."

The 47-year-old rocker continued went on the explain that he refused a request from the game makers to have his own facsimile made.

He continued: "I had the paperwork, they wanted me to be on that game and I just passed.

"But no-one even broached the subject with me that I would be singing other people's stuff. I don't know how I would have reacted to that. I don't know that I would have wanted it either."

  • @Gigwise He's also clashing with all other albums. Maybe he should just delay all musical activity indefinitely?
