What do you guys think about Courtney Love?
fucked up blair23
i love courtney love when she's lucid, i mean when she was a part of hole and came up with "live through this". she wowed me with that voice and the twisted lyricism of the songs. she can be quite the songwriter when she wants to. "doll parts" and "softer, softest" are unnerving bits of genius. and "petals" is another amazing song. i hope she sobers up from all the shit. it's not doing her well.
WatchingYouBurn
She is. If you go to moonwashedrose.com you can see pics of her and how much different she looks. she has long hair again in is definately sober. she plans to stay off drugs, she says. for frances.

god, i hope so. these women of nineties rock have to get their shit together. the paris hiltons of the world are ruining their gender.

Like, oh my god, Blair is like,you know,totally trashing Paris! blink.gif ----- my thoughts on Ms. Love: I have never heard her record anything that made an impression on me. Personally I'd like to see Joan Jet go up'side Courtney's head with her guitar,--- "cause I don't give a damn 'bout my bad reputation!"

I hope Ms. Love burns and dies....but that's just me....

personally, I hope she overdoses and dies. Funniest and coolest moment relating to courtney love? When Molly Shannon made fun of her on SNL

totally agree. i hate it when people judge her. she's just having a blast in life, and that's why i think shes awesome
ArtStar
hehehe COURTNEY ROCKS! She's working on recording a new album!

I think Courtney is great. She's a rock star, which is in dire need these days. Too many bands like Jimmy Eat World, who i have nothing against but they look like those IT department guys who come around to fix your computer at work. She's unpredictable. She's dangerous to herself, she might be dangerous to you. That's a rock star! That's hot!

Folks give Courtney shit about "Be a Good Mommy to Frances". I don't get it. Folks never spouted stuff like that to Keith Richards when he was doing every single drug known to man (and some unknown ones) or Rod Stewart when he was getting all that semen pumped out of his stomach. It's a double standard.

I absolutly love Mrs. Love. wub.gif

I loved Hole, and I love her as a solo act as well... Although, I wish she would get back with Hole... sad.gif

She's great when she is sober, and hopefully she stays clean for sure now... for Frances, for herself, and for the music.

She does say she "can rock myself out of anything." wink.gif

that picmposted was hilarious. she looks like a lunachick. she's great. i love violet, doll parts and malibu.

Doo Parts is the one always made me cry.........Northern Star as well sad.gif

Lunachick is a female band?
kretzl
I can't stand her, but her former drummer in Hole, Samantha Maloney, is one of the best drummers around and I am a big fan of hers. I do like the Live Through This album alot, but I can't stand Love as a person.
phairness71
My friends birthday is coming up, and she's a huge courtney fan- she reminds me and all my friends of courtney actually. For her present im thinking of getting her a courtney poster.
I saw this one near the Haight in sf, and its perfect. She's drunk and her shirts kinda falling off and its not a flattering picture at all but everytime i see it, i crack up

From what Courtney and Eric have said, most of Hole aren't in good terms. Eric, Courtney, and Melissa are apparently not agreeing with eachother.

Eric says Courtney is mad at him
Courtney says something like Melissa stole something of hers or sold out or something of the sort (it was on an interview a while back)

So it doesn't look like Hole will be getting back together soon.

But a bunch of us on the myspace group "Courtney Love: I Love This Bitch" are getting a letter together to send to Courtney herself about requesting a Hole box set because it is known that Eric would like to put one togther.

How old is hole? Who are the members?
fucked up blair23
melissa auf der maur was a bassist and a back up vocalist of hole. there's the drummer, donna something who's playing with juliette lewis and the licks. eric was drew barrymore's ex boyfriend. they're kind of old, late thirties, early forties.

the first conception of hole is my favorite, pretty on the inside/ live through this days. didn't someone in the band die?

The drummer you're thinking of is Patty Schemel. She's no longer playing with Juliette and the Licks.

Jase
Hole's original line up on the "Retard Girl" and "Dicknail" singles, as well as the album Pretty on the Inside, was Courtney on vocals and guitar, Eric Erlandson on guitar, Jill Emery on bass, and Caroline Rue on drums.

Jill and Caroline left the band in early '92. Patty Schemel replaced Caroline, after Kurt recommended her to Courtney (she had auditioned to be Nirvana's drummer at one point) and Leslie Hardy briefly joined as their new bassist. Although Hardy was credited on the "Beautiful Son" single, which was recorded later that year, she didn't actually play on it. Jack Endino, who produced the single, played on the title song, while Courtney took over bass duties on "20 Years in the Dakota."

Kristen Pfaff signed on as bassist on a temporary basis when Hole played a few overseas shows in '93, then signed on full time before the band started recording Live Through This that fall.

After her heroin overdose the following year, she was replaced by Melissa Auf der Maur.

There's a lot of conflicting stories about whether Schemel left the band or was kicked out for her drug use, but only part of Celebrity Skin was recorded with her, with an uncredited studio drummer finishing the remaining tracks. When it came time for the band to tour for that album, Samantha Maloney signed on to replace Schemel (and doesn't actually appear on any of the band's recorded output, with the exception of two b-sides: "Drag" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue," both of which appear on the "Malibu" single).

Schemel was working with Courtney again for a while in 2001 and 2002; she was originally going to be the drummer for Courtney's side project, Bastard, which didn't pan out, then was part of Courtney's live band for the shows she did in October 2001. She also collaborated on some of the songs for Courtney's solo album, America's Sweetheart, but left partway through the sessions and was again replaced by Maloney (who still remains the drummer in Courtney's new all-girl band, the Chelsea).
Black Hole
Courtney is out of her gourd. I was really wanting to see the product of that side project she briefly tried with Louise Post. Not for the music, it was more of like looking at a car wreck waiting to happen. What did that last, like a week or so? Those two are nucking futs.
Baby Blue
When I think of Courtney Love, the first thing that comes to mind is "Skank Ho" usually quickly followed by "I can't believe what she has done to the golden child." It just makes me sad (and a little angry) to look at her, think about her, etc...ok, yeah, so I guess I'm going to unsubscribe from this thread now...
fucked up blair23
love may be out of her lining but she's ten times the artist those little skanky mtv whores are. jojo, i'm looking at you. jojo is the reason why pedophiles exist.

god, i hope love releases an acoustic record. i love her when she's rocking out but who says electric guitars are the only rocking instruments. her voice is powerful enough. that's my dream for this broad. i hope she just writes her songs, angry and shit faced and then record them without the grunge and linda perry. wetdream.

I agree. JoJo is not a musician she is a wax figure used to make money. It disgusts me to hear people calling her music "classy, and deep"
phairness71
Isnt she like 12 or something?

Hey God you owe me one more song so I can prove to you that I'm so much better than him - Mono

All of the former Hole bassists are women (Jill Emery, Leslie Hardy, Kristen Pfaff, and Melissa Auf der Maur). Do you mean Eric Erlandson, who played guitar?

In any case, it's not specifically about him or Cobain. It's meant to be a generic "him," representing any number of male musicians -- everyone from Cobain to Jack White to Eminem.

Courtney has said, though, that the "I slashed his tires, I bled his brakes" part is a fictional revenge fantasy against Fred Durst. Keep in mind, the song was already a couple of years old by the time it was released.

If Fred Durst ever turns up missing, it's going to be a long, long list of suspects...
fucked up blair23
i will be in that list.
Solar
Me too. Remember that show on the Summer Sanitarium Tour when they were opening for Metallica 2(?) summers back, the Chicago stop where Limp got infamously booed offstage halfway through their set after Fred's dumb ass tried to incite the crowd and had to scamper away after he got nailed in the nuts with a lemon? I was in that crowd, that's all I'm saying...
fucked up blair23
you lemon thrower. you're exposed.
