Hole 'reunion' turns nasty

Fri 17th Jul, 2009 in International News

Depending on how you look at it, Courtney Love’s decision to release her long-overdue album Nobody’s Daughter as Hole was either PR genius or a desperate headline-grab. Either way, Hole co-founding member Eric Erlandson isn’t going to let it happen so easily.

In an interview with Spin magazine, Erlandson challenged his former bandmate. “There is no Hole without me,” he said. “If [Love] has a solo album together, I think that’s great. But as for the real Hole? I’m open to discussions.”

It didn’t take long for Love to fashion a retort, which she delivered in typically crazed fashion via Twitter. “Uh I just hear that a former guitar player is saying I can’t use my name for MY band, he’s out of his MIND,” she ranted. “Hole is MY Band, MY name and MY Tradmark.” There’s more (oh so much more) if you’re prepared to wade into the mind of courtneylover79.
