      That's very astute; perhaps cos when I stumbled upon this hate fest, I (very fascinated, very funny ) gradually stopped laughing at the passionate and vicious campaign against Courtney Love. How she has survived is astounding, n goes far beyond anything I have witnessed. Ever. The shit I have copped for suggesting that perhaps Kurt finally did what he had been talking about doing for as long as he could manage to struggle to a microphone. The numerous photos of him w/ Dave n Kris, n solo with a gun in his mouth, statements such as :" I'd rather be dead than cool". Much of this was pre his wife. But I have repeatedly asked where were his band, friends, family. Now I believe what I have always just assumed. He was deeply depressed (having been there myself, sans the suicidal urge) n this was undiagnosed, or he refused treatment, I don't know. But, I do know that in that state, the better n more wishes come true, u feel even worse cos, hey, u got the world at your feet, n all the dreams fulfilled, so why do I feel so bad? And, fm experience, u either seriously get professional help n work within that frame till u stop wanting to die, or u die after years of misery, or u shoot yourself in the family home n leave yr wife n child alone to cop the stoning; Kurt was media savvy, he knew what was going to come, but still left his loved ones 2 face the fire. Yep, I have also argued that Dave had motive, access, etc but I don't believe that anyone could have stopped the death. Everyone tried in some way to 'help' but why does his wife continue to be Lady Macbeth, 30yrs later? The sad fact about suicide is that it may obliterate the murderer's pain (read Dante's inferno. Suicides are in the 7th circle, very bad. So maybe Kurt regrets the obsession with guns), n it's transferred to the survivors. If one is an very tough, honest, smart, beautiful- pre the dire cosmetic surgery- WOMAN...., signed, sealed, delivered. No foul play by anyone except the deliberate auto killer.

      kids, that's kind of the point punk/grunge. rockstars don't give flying F about being considered "classy". classist ideology is precisely what they revolt against. // Also, would you be comparing two male rock singers , arguing who is "classier"? Male celebrties do whatever they want they just judged by their music, but with female artists it has to be about who theyre dating or how appropriate they're behaving? Anyway, I appreciate both their music although you can't compare. Hole's Live Through This has gone down in grunge rock's history as a masterpiece. No Doubt's pop rock is fun and catchy but that's about it.

    I'm stunned you left out the most biting and devastatingly-pointed song about Ms. Love, the Primus and Tom Waits masterpiece, "Coattails of a Dead Man."
    I mean, just read the lyrics:
    He wasn't lookin' for fanfare or fame
    But it all came around just the same.
    He then met a girl with desire in her eye,
    He gave her love, she took his name.
    The times they were good, the times they were bad,
    Most times it was just in between.
    The hard pill he swallowed was the times that they had,
    She put on display for all to be seen.
    Some find their solace in work or the lord,
    She was quite content in her dream.
    When his eyes they burned from the bright lime light,
    He found comfort in the bottle of Ol' Jimmy Beam.
    One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole,
    He reached out for something to feel.
    She offered back nothin' but lack of respect
    So he left himself out with two barrels of steel.
    She cried in the day, she cried in the night.
    She cried loudest when someone was near.
    Whether crying for him or she cried for herself,
    The bigger the camera, the bigger the tear.
    Most folks agree that she was living a hell
    And publicly she showed her pain.
    And never once was there a thought for herself,
    And the ever-growing slices of fortune and fame.
    Now on the coattails of a dead man she'll ride
    On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride.
    On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride,
    On the coattails of a dead man she'll ride she'll ride high.
    If that doesn't perfectly sum up Love and Cobain, I don't know what does.

Her sideshow act to seem the contrary is just another one a her little performance pieces she puts on, and she can get almost anyone to go for it if they're around her(think a Vampyre glamouring his victims).

    He played in a rock-and-roll band
    And he wasn't half-bad
    At saving the world
    She said he could do no right
    So he took his life
    His story is true
    She would always crash the party
    It was no surprise
    It was for her

    It's all right cause what goes around, comes around

    Scott Weiland also wrote a song about Courtney Love. It’s called ‘Hollywood B!tch’. He was the singer and lyricist for Stone Temple Pilots. They used drugs together for weeks at the Chateau Marmont in the 1990s. In one show, he said ‘it’s about someone famous who had a lot of plastic surgery…’ They had been friends, but as with many of her friendships, that imploded.

    She is a real piece of work. My band played with Hole just before they blew up and before Kurt killed himself. Backstage she was as cold as ice. The rest of her band were very nice though. Especially Kristen. RIP. My take on her was that unless you had something to offer her like fame or a leg up onto whatever it is she wanted, she would have nothing to do with you. We were just another local band slogging it out like everyone else. So in her eyes we had nothing to offer her. Very sociopathic tendencies.

Anyway, Kurt & Courtney was like THE first doc made about Kurt’s death. Made around 1998. In it the former singer of The Mentors , “El Duce” claimed she paid him money to kill Kurt. But honestly? El Duce was a whack job. He died before the doc was even finished. Got run over by a train if memory serves.

    Bullet to the Brain by Megadeth is also suspected to be about her. The song details a man being seduced and driven insane by a "forbidden" magical woman. The thing that sold it for me was the last chorus "His one last thought blew his mind/Bullet to the brain/Hot lead was penetrating deeper". Quite an unsettling track but it's my favourite off the Dystopia record.

Again, one response was 'I love Henry Rollins n hate Courtney Love. I don't see the comparison' . I am still stunned: here we have 2 very talented people, same kinda era, BUT, the 1 whom I wd think has a far greater reason to mourn-i won't go into it now cos I don't want to cause more pain- like, it was more than just a close friend, but her husband n father of FB, in their home. I have tried to point out that Henry is encouraged to live his grief, Courtney isn't. If that ain't patriarchy n misogyny in technicolour, if I seem 2 b the only person who can point to the polar opposites of a man n a woman, then it's all been 4 nothing.

    Heart Shaped Box paints a very bad picture of their relationship, but that's the whole album: it is cynical, bitter, hurt, and spent. For example, Milk It is basically Kurt talking about how his own infant daughter makes him feel trapped. Serve the Servants is the same but for his fans.

      @@starbubbles154 Yeah sure. Reminder that she is the only one who publicly warned young women about Harvey Weinstein. In 2005, she was on the red carpet for some event and she was asked if she had any advice for young women trying to make it in Hollywood and she said: "Uhh, I'll get libeled if I say it...If Harvey Weinstein invites you to a private party at the Four Seasons, don’t go." And then she got blacklisted by the CAA. Remember people, 2005! Plus her music is fucking amazing ♡
      Live through this is in the top 5 best album of the 90s ♡
      You're missing out on some amazing music because of your misogyny.
