Hmm... they don't want Cobain in there because he's dead, but they don't care if Jimi Hendrix is in there? What about Rock Band Beatles? There's a couple there who have died as well, no ones making a fuss...
Jimi Hendrix's avatar only plays his own music. His avatar can't be used anywhere else in the game.
I'm not a fan of Hendrix either so I can't comment one way or another about this.
All I know is I'm a fan of Ozzy's and I enjoy having use of his avatar. I'm disappointed that his avatar can only be a singer, it would be fun to have him playing the drums, which is why I don't understand this Kurt Cobain thing.
I’m thinking it's a fan mentality thing. Ozzy bites off the heads of bats and had his own reality show, so maybe I'm not as concerned about his appearance as an "artist", but I doubt Cobain's fans have the same sense of reverence as Hendrix’s fans.
Hendix proved he was the best and died by accident while living the rock star dream.
Cobain was a musician who was having a miserable life and killed himself before he could prove that his music was more than just a grunge gimmick.
