I guess she is doing the Billy Corgan/Smashing Pumpkins thing. The only original member besides her is Melissa.

I'm not sure how I feel about this. I loved Hole, but I don't see that the name is that much more marketable than Courtney as a solo artist.

her and melissa calling themselves Hole is still a hell of a lot more apt than what corgan is doing. at least there was enough personnel change in Hole while they were together that it doesn't seem so terribly inappropriate. but will they C.Lo be able to recapture the sound of her glory daze? i harbor doubts.

I loved Hole's last album, as well as Courtney's last solo album. I'm all for it

I'm looking forward to this. Just hope the music is good.

sweet. Hole is better than Nirvana.

i thought 'live through this' steps all over 'nevermind,' 'in utero,' or anything in the 90s done by Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, the Cranberries, Radiohead...

this kinda sounds better than the smashing pumpkins reunion.

cause oh my god did zeigeist sucked ass..

So she's going to have a vaginoplasty?

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I tip my hat to you.

Siamese Dream aside, I think Live Through This IS better than all that...

All of these 90's bands are getting back together. Soundgarden is reforming too.

STFU!!

It IS a shame she's calling it Hole without Eric in the band. The NME guy even refers to the new English chick as "her new Eric Erlandson."

I wouldn't have been all that interested either way but, Eric was a very important part of that group. Doing it under the same name without him does feel kinda wrong.

Well we shall see. I wonder how many people are still interested in her as a musician at all.

japanrocks said:

Yeah, it was announced by a dj on a radio station. My fingers are crossed though.

AnckSuNamun said:

I really hope they do. I loved Soundgarden, and equally loved Audioslave, but Cornell really makes some horrible solo albums (this last one, produced by Timbaland, could be a career-killer).

So basically she is out of drug money?

And to the people saying Live Through This is better than Nirvana you do know Kurt wrote at least half of that album if not all of it

Se7en said:

I loved the shit outta Audioslave, the first album at least. I just adore his voice, but I couldn't even get through the snippets of that stupid-ass Timbaland album

Courtney should listen to Brody Dalle's new Spinnerette album. If you were to repackage it as a Hole record, many people wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

kcwm said:

I was gonna say that. I love that Hole album, but Kurt's signature is all over it.

CalhounSq said:

Yeah, what a voice. I think that's what made Soundgarden unique. The grunge/alternative sound with a strong soulful voice. Chris said he was inspired by Otis Redding and the like when it came to vocals.

I bought a 45 that has "Asking For You (Demo featuring Kurt Cobain)" backed with "Rock Star"

sextonseven said:

!!! You may have just sold me on that album

Cinnie said:

I love it! Pitchfork blasted it for sounding too 90s.

As awesome as this is, I really don't think they'll be able to get back to what they had back in the 90s. The Pumpkins couldn't even do it, and they had a kickass album with Zeitgeist.

Live Through This is KURTS album.
