Courtney Love Rants at Hole's Ramshackle Glasgow Show

At this gig, before a single note was played, an Irishman ushered me over and asked the stupid question " Do you like Courtney Love and Hole?" before saying how sh*te she was. Whether he wanted me to or expected me to lamp him I know not. I wondered why someone would pay £23.00 (at least) to see a band they did not like. Obviously, if some of the negative comments on this thread are anything to go by, he wasn't the only moron with too much money. I could understand if they where fan's who witnessed a rubbish performance, by a singer who ignored them and only did a couple of songs before getting to Hell away. Maybe as mentioned above, they where at different gigs than me and everyone else who loved this great gig. I got my money's worth! Courney come back soon.

Anyone that claims this gig was "energetic" or "superb" is clearly delusional, and should seek help immediately.

What we witnessed was an aged prostitute flanked by session musicians (paid enough to play their parts, but not paid enough to act like they wanted to be there).

She was annihilated, stagnant, and incoherent. I'm quite sure she could have walked on that stage and the crowd would quite literally have applauded anything she did!

At one point in her career she had a certain amount of charisma, and when Hole was an actual band, they had a couple of decent albums and a certain appeal as a live act. On monday however, i felt as though i was watching a drunk stripper doing karaoke for crack...an activity i usually reserve for friday nights.

When is this talentless junkie hack gonna finally go away?!?!?! She has been living off her dead husbands talent for a long time now. She's a worse musician than she is a mother.

Second the above (BAZWAG), if you want a polished mimed routine go see Lady Gaga.

My friend, I think you're confusing "ramshackle" with genuine, live, spontaneous rock n' roll energy and excitement!

Courtney and the band were superb on Monday night - Courtney is a total one off, a true rock n' roll star and still refreshingly tells it like she means it!

Fo ultra safe, choreographed, supposedly 'edgy' music there are but a million other haircut-band dullards out there for that. Can't imagine any of them allowing their vocals to audibly break - knowing they have other imminent shows to play - just for the (hugely appreciative) crowd...or as has already been mentioned -playing half the show in her underwear - respect!

Have to mention the pleasure of hearing the cover of 'Gold Dust Woman' - and starting off the show with 'Sympathy for the Devil'.

HOLE ROCKS - INDIE PUNX STILL SUX!!!

Just to clear this up,

"Only city other than Vancouver where I've crowd surfed and no one ripped my dress, grabbed my t**s or tried to f*** me."

What she said was "tried to f*nger me", not "tried to f*ck me".

*sigh*

Hole was fantastic! One of the best gigs I have ever been to. Courtney's vocals were amazing. She did not disappoint at all and the place was pretty packed. A day on and I still have a slighty sore head from all the shouting, singing and jumping I was doing.

Please come back soon Courtney! Scotland loves you!

Boom... Here is a little video of the 'ramshackle performance'. One thing is for sure - Courtney Love can still rock out! Thanks for giving Scotland such an amazing set.

haha wow all caps it must be serious..and how do you know my age are you interweb stalking me? ;)As for the crowded thing...yes anyone in the 3rd row of course feels packed..I could careless if there were 50k or 2 people the fact of the matter if it was a good show. I assume you were there? Or maybe a hardcore Nirvana fan who believes that she in fact did kill her husband..that would explain your unnecessary rage towards my post when all I did was expresses a opinion on what I experienced last night. As for the yoko thing..really?I mean really? I find that utterly amusing to even comparing them is ludicrious.One makes music that has becomes anthems for thousands and one well..one just is famous cause of her husband.But doesnt she do what the hipsters call " art". But I am not here to convince anyone to omg love courtney or Hole for that matter. Musical likes and dislikes makes the world go round...it would be rather boring if we were all like you. As for the companies cramming stuff down our throat...yeah sure..it's been happening for years..but there was a magical time where musicians actually had to work and be talented to make it...they didnt enter tv shows and never played a gig but are the next big thing!? I am sorry if I find the old fashioned way much more magical. As for the hole I crawled out of...hey at least it's one hell of a party.

EXCUSE ME SONO? ONE OF THE MOST TALENTED WOMEN IN MUSIC HISTORY, YEAH MAYBE IF THE ONLY OTHER WOMAN WAS "MOMS MAYBLEY" OR PERHAPS YOKO ONO. AND I GOTTA TELL YOU, THAT IF ITS YOKO, YOU'D DEFINATELY GET AN ARGUEMENT. ANOTHER THING, WHEN WAS THIS IDEALIC TIME YOU SPEAK OF WHEN MUSIC WASN'T CONTROLLED BY "BIG BUSINESS"? 'CUZ I'M MUCH OLDER THAN YOU AND I CAN'T REMEMBER SUCH A TIME. ALSO, ANYONE IN THE THIRD ROW OF ANY CONCERT THINKS ITS CROWDED WHEN HE'S GOT THE FOURTH AND FIFTH ROWS CLIMBING ON HIS BACK. THE ONLY ONES WHO REALLY KNOW FOR SURE ARE THE PEOPLE ON THE STAGE, THE PEOPLE IN THE LAST ROW AND THE GUY WHO COUNTS THE GATE, AND HE'S GONNA LIE EVERY TIME. OH AND, ROCK ON HOLE, RIGHT ON INTO THE HOLE YOU CRAWLED OUT OF.
