Are there any other hole fans out there? Please put aside anti-courtney rants when you answer this question, there was 3 other members in the band and their musical talent shouldn't be downgraded just because their lead singer had a lot of bad publicity. Just remember you dont have to like a artist in order to like their work.

    well yeah I like Hole (mostly the first 2 albums), and I wish Courtney would get her shit together and record some good stuff (unlike her solo album, which was, well, rather crap).

    but above all, I'm really looking forward to Melissa Auf der Maur's second solo album, the first one was awesome

    I love Hole, great band. Apparently Courtney is getting her shit together, and has been writing with Billy Corgan and Jerry Cantrell, can't wait to hear what they come up with.

    Billy did write also in "celebrity skin", that is an album that you can listen with pleasure while bathing, but that is quite too much commercial and radio-friendly...

    That is so good to hear.
    I wonder what that will sound like?
    Wow, the more I think about it, I cant wait.

    Wow....seven posts and no flames.............love listening to Hole...enjoyed the last two albums, Melissa's solo record and the unplugged show, which I acquired a boot of last year. Courtney's solo record did leave much to be desired. I think that she would have been wiser to keep Hole together.

    Did everybody know that the Lemonheads song on the "SchoolHouse Rock Rocks" cd is actually Evan Dando with Patty Schmel (sic) and Melissa Auf Der Maur?

    Yeah she also did that about ten years ago, and has since written in to rolling stone defending Eddie Vedder after they trashed him, so maybe not so much of a cunt.

    The solo album was released before it was really ready, even by her own admission, Courtney thinks most of it was shit, but the record company pushed her to release it before it was done.

    she wrote in and basically said you have no right to judge him if you haven't been in the situation yourself. at the time of that show where she made the guy take his shirt off, pearl jam were huge, even Eddie says he much preferred a band like Mudhoney's sound to PJ's - Pearl Jam were everywhere kind of like Fall out boy are at the moment, so it was quite natural that people would have had enough of having PJ shoved down their throats - the crucial difference was that although overhyped, Pearl Jam were indeed very talented and credible artists.

    Back on the subject of Hole and Courtney Love, she is a very underrated lyricist and if people could get past the weird and shocking behaviour they might be quite surprised.

    I agree with facepollution. Courtney's an underrated lyricist. Hole rocks. I miss
    her anger and honesty. Angst!

    does anyone have an acoustic version of Doll Parts (performed by Courtney Love or Hole)?

    Already addressed a few posts above.

    P.s If you actually listened to any of Hole's music it's quite clear that Courtney wrote the lyrics, and musically the similarity to Nirvana is well....not there at all.

    Hole was one of my favorites - pre-celebrity skin. Haven't listened to it much in the past few years, but actually have a few songs on my ipod for the gym - it keeps you going. I actually preferred Courtney before she glammed up her image. Not as a person, but a musician. The music was raw & not so commercial. Would look forward to hearing that from her again.

    I'm a big Courtney/Hole fan

    I been kinda excited about her new album but I'm scared she's overthinking it and its gonna go the same way as Chinese Democracy. She needs to trust her instincts more but then I guess it must be hard when you are absolutely vilified.

    Its kinda interesting that when most people criticise Courtney it seems to come accross as nothing more articulate than illeducated, vile misogyny
