"Even though his songs have landed in music games far and wide, Jon Bon Jovi said in a recent interview that he turned down Activision's offer to be included as a playable character in Guitar Hero 5. \"They [Activision] wanted me to be on that game and I just passed,\" Bon Jovi told the BBC. \"To hear someone else's voice coming out of a cartoon version of me? I don't know,\" he added, siding with Kurt Cobain's widow Courtney Love, and others tied to the Nirvana estate, against the use of Cobain's likeness in GH5.   Bon Jovi explained that no one at Activision \"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.\" In the meantime, Activision has retorted that Love did evidently sign a contract -- but according to Bon Jovi's statements, it appears as though she may have not reacted to the fine print."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
