According to Contactmusic, Courtney Love has recently taken a different tone regarding her late husband Kurt Cobain’s appearance in Guitar Hero 5. Speaking to music magazine NME about the brouhaha, she said this:

“What pisses me off the most about it is I think Kurt would be fine with having five Kurt Cobains singing the [Spice Girls] song ‘Wannabe,’ [importable from Band Hero] like, ‘Tell me what you want, what you really really want.’… I think he’d find that really funny. But at the same time it’s gross what they did. Gwen [Stefani] started the lawsuit. I have really good lawyers now and will join that lawsuit. There was this grey area and they f—ed the lot of us. They didn’t f—k Jack White, but they f–ked Gwen, f–ked Johnny Cash and f–ked Kurt… It’s just gross. This is the rock ‘n’ roll business, this is what people do. They are sleazy; they do sleazy things.”

So, er, if the person whose likeness is being used would have been fine with the use…didn’t you just kinda shoot your whole legal argument in the ‘nads there, Courtney?
