It was both creepy and fun when Fred Astaire danced with a Dirt Devil; and then there are the various things that Frank Sinatra has come back from the grave to sing for. But the practice of reincarnation for [commercial ](http://adweek.blogs.com/adfreak/?ref=hypebot.com)purposes gets raised to a whole new level when Kurt Cobain takes a walk from the other side to perform on stage in Guitar Hero 5\. After all, this is the man who wrote in his [suicide note](http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Venue/6582/Nirvana/suicidenote.html?ref=hypebot.com), "The worst crime I can think of would be to rip people off by faking it and pretending as if I'm having 100% fun. Sometimes I feel as if I should have a punch-in time clock before I walk out on stage."

If that wasn't enough for you, there's video of Guitar Hero reincarnating Jimmy Hendrix after the jump.
