Courtney Love Stands Firm On Use of Hole Name

Courtney Love has spoken out in defence of her using the Hole name for her upcoming album, 'Nobody's Daughter'.

Love aside, the new Hole features none of the members from the bands 90s golden era, provoking the ire of former members Eric Erlandson and Melissa Auf Der Maur, both dismayed at Love using their former moniker.

Love, however, is persevering.

"It is Hole, yes of course," she told NME. "How do I do this? It is just because it is, and it is because we just negotiated our thing and it'll be fine. Everyone has good lawyers."

Love also suggested that an arrangement may have been reached with guitarist Erlandson already.

"I don't want to slam him," she said of Erlandson. "I'm a big sharer. Inside the business I am not known for being a stinge, I am not stingy in any way. I give a lot of publishing to everyone."

'Nobody's Daughter', rumoured to be five years in the making, is currently without a fixed release date. The new incarnation of Hole (including former Larrikin Love guitarist Micko Larkin) play the NME Shockwaves Festival at London's 02 Shepherd's Bush Empire on Feb. 17.

its strange just how many people say 'i could give a **** about her' . so why are you even bothered reading the article then? i mean, you won't catch me reading about mgmt or some other tat because i dont care about them.

we will have to wait and hear the album to know whether it is the right decision to call the band 'hole'. i think its very difficult to replicate a 'feel' with different musicians. you can recreate a 'sound' but the feel could sound a bit 'fake'. lets wait and see.

Just the fact that Courtney Love still has the gumption to get out there in the public eye and produce music, no matter how long it takes - should be an inspiration to all of us. She does, in fact, produce good music. If you've never heard her sing - shut up - as you've got no place to comment. Bring it on Miss Love.

I don't know why anyone is worried about this album that has been in the making for 5 years. It is obvious that it will never materialize.

I just feel sorry for Love. She has had a horrible life since she was a very little girl. It's no wonder she is still a mess. Her mother was a piece of crap, and she never had a chance to be a normal person. I also feel for her daughter who was born to two very troubled parents. The two of them are the direct consequence of a repeated pattern of poor parenting.
