Songs That Are Most Likely About Courtney Love

- “I listen to Lithium,which is like all of the ‘90s songs and a lot of them are actually about me, which is interesting. There’s so many Smashing Pumpkins songs about me, there’s a Bush song about me.” Courtney Love, Anna Farris Is Unqualified Podcast (August 2016)
Courtney Love is a controversial figure. As the lead singer of alt rock trailblazers Hole, she notched up a critically acclaimed debut, a platinum selling follow up and a four-time grammy nominated third album. She was featured as one of Barbara Walters' “10 Most Fascinating People of 1995”. She produced rock radio staples like “Violet”, “Miss World” and “Celebrity Skin”. But most know her for her famous husband, and/or her less than personable public persona. As such she's gained a fair bit of scorn, with accusations ranging from “liar” to “murderer”. Today I will be looking at some of the songs that have been inspired by Mrs Love. Including “Bruise Violet” by Babes in Toyland, “I'll Stick Around” by Foo Fighters, “Hollaback Girl” by Gwen Stefani, “Starfuckers Inc” by Nine Inch Nails, “Heart Shaped Box” by Nirvana and “Professional Widow” by Tori Amos.

Hey all. So what artist/band would you want to see a video on next?
Right Said Fred
Steven Wilson
The greatest and most influential rock artist that no one has heard of.
Do you know Foo Fighters debut single was actually This is a Call?
Smashing Pumpkins please!!!!
Smashing pumpkins or VasT
Beethoven: wrote "Für Elise"
Courtney Love: "He wrote it for me. I am Elise"
😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I swear I was thinking the same thing.... freaking hilarious....narcisstic much ( did I spell that correctly)
That song she wrote about Julian Casablancas, ugh...Julian’s dad was the owner of Elite Models, Courtney was probably so stoned that she was hoping to get a modeling gig out of it, even though John Casablancas has been dead for years lol. She’s a pathetic starfucker lol, which is a huge reason so many songs are “about her”.
Courtney Love is the Bebe Buell of the nineties, “Musician’s semen-receptacle makes good”...
Each of them even has a famous daughter, as proof of their starfucking. Shit, BB was such a starfucker she was able to pretend her daughter’s father was a DIFFERENT rock star. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇
To be fair, Courtney Love probably thinks every song is about her.
Macho Fantastico Especially “You’re So Vain”
Mark of a narcissistic personality
(✷‿✷)
Not everything's about you, Courtneyyyyyyy🙄
She's so vain...
I have a new found respect for Gwen Stefani. Though I’ve never really been a huge fan of her music, I love that she shoved Courtney’s words down her throat while making a fortune doing it.
As a fan of grunge and alt rock growing up, it's fascinating learning of all the drama that happened behind the scenes
It's kinda funny in hindsight that grunge is what killed glam metal yet many of the 80s glam metal bands were still touring in the 2010s while most of the grunge scene was a bunch junkie gossipy high schoolers with massive egos and they're either dead or faded away into obscurity.
@@mandu6665 Which is a shame since glam metal is a dogshit genre
@@mandu6665 only in America, the sound is alive and well in Japan.
@MrNajibrazak interesting :) can you name some bands? I'd like to check them out
So Cobain wrote a song about how toxic and painful his relationship with her was and it´s her FAVOURITE SONG???
Well, she seems to think so. I guess she didn´t know him as well as you did.
@dangboof facts
Still, publicly admitting to it is an interesting move.
she isnt smart enough to understand the lyrics..
A lot of people think Trent Reznor wrote "Starfuckers Inc" about Marilyn Manson but after reading Manson's book it's safe to say he wrote it about Courtney. She really is a starfucker
Dave grohl probly is the one person who knows the real truth.
Bonni H anything Grohl knows, Krist Novaselic also knows I’m sure
I thought I knew all it took to bother you
Every word I said was true that you'll see
How could it be I'm the only one who sees your rehearsed insanity
I still refuse all the methods you've abused
It's all right if you're confused let me be
I've been around all the pawns
You've gagged and bound
They'll come back and knock you down and I'll be free
I've taken all and I've endured
One day it all will fade
I'm sure
I don't owe you anything
I had no other hand in your ever desperate plan
It returns and when it lands words are due
I should've known we were better off alone
I looked in and I was shown
You were too
I've taken all and I've endured
One day it all will fade
I'm sure
I don't owe you anything
I'll stick around and learn from all that came from it
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.
the guy she got to kill him as well (unless he was a loose end) there's a few theories, and they all implicate her in his death in some way. I reckon she was offered a life of fame if she sacrificed him. That's how it all works, it's fucking sick. These crazy fucking Kaballists man. They keep the old gods.
@@alibi7617 Courtney has ASPD. These people are ruled by narcissism. They are parasitic. They feed off the sensitive and talented. Kurt would have stayed alive for his child. She knew he had more money and could take the child. She had to have control.
I still remember how she tweeted the nastiest words to Lana del Rey after she covered heart-shaped box and said that: ''you know you're singing a song about my pu$sy right?'' and continued writing rude things and then deleted them. I respect Kurt and his death and I let him rest in death but I don't love Courtney and I think she's a really rude person by what she showed in those couple tweets. A person can take what he wants from a song without her meanings.
yeah even kurt knew then that her pu$sy equalled death. (umbilical noose)
now I hate her even more. i am a fan of Kurt, but sorry Courtney Love cannot insult my Lana Del Rey like that.
(Narcissism.) (Allegedly.) (😬)
Imo heart shaped box is about being stuck in an unwanted relationship and not knowing what to do about it
what makes her whole claim and proudness of that song being about her even funnier is that some of those lyrics were written in his journals years before they were even together lmao
Remember being at a record store convention when In Utero came out (after Kurt had killed himself but before the release).
Everybody was hung over and they blasted the Heart Shaped Box video into our faces...
I was talking to the label rep after and said something like: That is some of the darkest shit I have ever seen....
He said: You would be pretty dark to if you were married to Courtney.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOO
Kurt "allegedly" killed himself
That's bullshit. Kurt was always the Dark one even before he met Courtney Love. He was doing heroin and talked about being suicidal since he was a teenager. That's why Kurt killed himself. He couldn't handle the FAME anymore.
He never killed himself! There’s even a true crime documentary on the evidence gathered, and the corrupt “paid off” cops.....you may want to check it out.
@@philswift795 its been a year since you've said this but, man shut the hell up
fun fact: at the time kurt wrote "Lithium", he wasn't even dating courtney
I think when she was talking about listening to Lithium, she was talking about that SiriusXM station that plays a lot of 90's grunge songs.
She was referring to the music station "Lithium" which is named after the song but not the song itself
Lithium is a mood stabilizer. It's quite probable that a psychiatrist prescribed that drug for Kurt while he was suffering
Exactly
Lithium the XM Radio Station. All 90's Grunge and Alternative
i had no idea hollaback girl was about courtney love that’s actually fascinating
Julia Ellis Agreed!
Julia Ellis omfg I liked this comment thinking you were kidding on
But there's this actually famous comment she made about Gwen being a cheerleader lol. And she owned it.
Ikr
Still a horrible song tho
"She's Your Cocaine," also by Tori Amos, is about both Trent Reznor and Courtney Love
Don't forget Stone Temple Pilot's "Too Cool Queenie"!
There was this girl who lived not too long ago
As a matter of fact I think she lives still
She knew she could do no wrong
Just singin' those songs
That we all knew
She would always crash the party
It was no surprise
It was for her
Too Cool Queenie
There was this boy
He played in a rock-n-roll band
And he wasn't half bad at saving the world (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 okay 'cause what goes around, comes around
It's all right 'cause what goes around, comes around
And now this girl yeah, she got real famous
And she made lots of money
And some of his too (saving the world)
But still she thinks she can do no wrong
Just playing those songs
She's all too cool
The most satisfying thing about this video is finally learning WTF a “hollaback” girl is and why Stefani wrote the song.
Help I still dont understand it
@@trishamaeabella9309 same idk
This was so interesting to learn I had no idea this was about her
@@trishamaeabella9309 she basically trash talked about Gwen because she became a successful band girl without throwing herself to the sea of molestation if you know what I mean
Really?
I read that Courtney tried to pick on Lilly Allen once and she replied “ sorry, I don’t pick fights with crazy old ladies”. 😵.
Constanza Ortega Lily Who?
Lilly Allen is a far worse person than Courtney Love. The majority of Lilly's fanbase is children, yet she regularly performs in dresses with no underwear, allowing all the children in the audience to see her disgusting worn out box. I think she should be charged as a sex pest.
@@kenfresno2125 that just sounds like a full of shit lie.
@@kenfresno2125 If you knew anything about the female anatomy, you would know that "boxes" don't "wear out" (especially not from intercourse, and not even from childbirth). Ask any gynecologist. What does the state of her "box" have to do with the appropriateness of her alleged public exposure anyway? Lily has been through some pretty rough life events that I wouldn't wish on anyone.
LolloRosso no but someone who gets fisted constantly isn’t gonna look as good as someone who doesnt
FWIW, “Crush With Eyeliner” by REM (one of the best songs of that part of their career) is supposedly about her.
Any idiot knew "Heart Shaped Box" is about Courtney. Might I say one of the finest song Kurt ever wrote. The line "Forever in debt to your priceless advice" has been said by me in more than one fight. Love, love, love it! Priceless.
Let's be honest, this could have been an hour long.
a week long
a month long
More like 30 years long
a decade long
And I'd of watched every last bit of shit people have to say about her
So Hollaback Girl by Gwen Stefani is essentially a diss track, the more you know lol
I had no idea, but I always liked No Doubt better. I’d love to interview Gwen Stefani (if I were in the media), but the thought of meeting Courtney Love would make me cringe. lol I always liked Stefani’s Punk Rock style.
Courtney called gwen stefani a 'cheerleader', so she made hollaback girl.
A 'hollaback girl' is a fan who is chanting back at the cheerleaders from the bleachers.
Now you understand. The song turns her insult back around on Courtney causing Courtney to insult herself.
She's a two hit wonder too.
I love Gwen Stefani and I’m glad it’s dissing Courtney above all people lol
@@rich1051414 that's clever af
She wrote many great songs and she inspired so many artists to write great songs bitching about her, so well, she definitely is the most influential woman in rock of the 90s
That's the truth.
Before the NIN song even came up, i was like “wow, she has so many songs written about her it must boost her ego” and then I thought of the lyrics “you probably think this song is about you dont you?” only to find out a song about courtney love literally did use those lyrics 😭
Kurt wrote a song about me!
Yeah it’s called “Something in the Way”
LMAOOO
That wouldn’t surprise me at all lmaooo
Lmao!!!
LOL HEY I THOUGHT THAT SONG WAS ABOUT ME LOL
LOL
She’s like the Carole Baskins of the 90’s grunge scene
Yes
Who is Carol Baskins?
The death of Carole Haskins husband happend in the nineties
Omfg yessss
Seriously, who's Carol Baskins?
She took her persona of Nancy to the highest level, achieving what Nancy wished she could (hit songs, married one of the most influential rock icons)...
So she became the cheerleader😂
I jumped on her table in the pit at the Hollywood Bowl during a Belle & Sebastian concert & she had the nerve to look at me like I was the crazy one!!!
Beefing with Courtney Love at a Belle and Sebastian concert will be a story I'll be passing on to the generations to come.
All I hear when Courtney talks is "Me me me me me me"
God, yes 😴
Female version of Kanye West. And I say that as a Kanye fan
Check out her song "Miss Narcissist"
@@Revealingstorm. Same on my side, I can enjoy some of her music but Courtney Love is such a shitty person.
almost al the songwriter talk about themself
Hollaback Girl is the most straightforward and successful slap back song I have ever seen or heard.
9000ck aka simplistic
@@taintedlife2618 concise. not simplistic.
I heard that it was about Madonna not Courtney Love.
9000ck this my shit this my shit. Ok...
Worst song of all time
Courtney Love, "most influential woman in 90's rock?" If you take away all the notoriety from being married to Cobain and just go by her music, then IMO, Alanis Morrisette, Gwen Stephani, Shirley Manson, Doloris O'Riordan, Johnette Napoliano, Shirly Manson, Liz Phair and PJ Harvey all had a bigger musical imprints.
Of all of those women the only ones I have ever searched for their videos to listen to again are D.O. and Liz P. But not often, a few times. Some, I never heard of, or don't recognize their names. Alanis and Gwen, a lot of hype, songs nothing special. I did have a friend who complained every time Isn't It Ironic came on because he thought all you need is a FORK is the typical situation with too many spoons. Alanis was notable for screwing up the concept of "ironic". That Tracy girl with the fast car, was she nineties?
@@hermanhale9258Shirley Manson of Garbage, Dolores O'Riordan of The Cranberries, etc. If you grew up or came of age in the 90s you'd know every name on that list. People still know Courtney Love based primarily on her association with Kurt Cobain, and honestly, we didn't know her before that. Kids today don't listen to Hole, but they'll wear Nirvana t-shirts all the time.
Seriously, nobody thought she was good or gave a shit about her. She was just married to the most famous rockstar at the time. Gwen and No Doubt trumped anything she ever did. I don’t even know one Courtney love song that is good.
@@gcanaday1 Oops, I meant Sheryl Crow, not Liz Phair. However, listening to her today, I don't think she sang very well. Most of the girls of MTV were talented at dancing around in their underwear or miniskirts.
I don't think inspiring almost all your peers to despise you really counts as being "the most influential woman in 90s rock."
I agree. There are a few women I thought of who were more influential like PJ Harvey, Kim Deal, Kim Gordon.
@@paulmcnally8401Beth Gibbons
Remember when in one of his concerts Kurt made his audience say they loved Courtney because he thought that everyone hated her?
1,000,000 subs with videos If he could come back from the other side, just for a day, he would definitely tell the audience to say they hate her now since she had him killed. She had the girl, Kurt was going to marry killed, and she also had that guy killed from that heavy metal band, his name was Douche.
@@jeannewantsjustice are you handicapped?
@@jeannewantsjustice she drove him to off himself. Not that that's any better tho
Kurt would hate all those "fans" who hate her lol
@@mariafabianazambranoroa2238 did you think before replying with that?
The cheerleader and smoker shed comment that Courtney made about Gwen sounded so much like "I'm not like other girls." It was cringe lmao
She was right tho, definitely not a cheerleader
Gwen would be in the smokers shed. Courtney wouldn’t even be in school. I don’t know how Courtney equated that she would even be in that group. Not that I dislike Courtney or am picking a side. She just seemed like she’s the dirty smelly kid that dropped out of school.
@@MarinaAndTheDevil too busy murdering the athletes to be one lol
Almost as bad as saying "it was cringe" like a 12 year old mouth breathing dipshit
@@elizabetherne556 she was kicked out of one school for misbehavior. Given her family moving around so much because of the series of divorces and estrangements, and then the series of foster homes, she probably wasn't in one school long enough to 'drop out'.
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.
Courtney Love is basically the Yoko Ono of '90s rock... _which honestly feels like an insult to Yoko!_ With her, you might be able to argue that she's overhated, but with Courtney, it's just screaming into a black hole. 🥁
I feel like Yoko got too much hate and the Hole in Kurt’s life didn’t get enough
Unlike yoko ono courtney was actually talanted. Say what you want about her but Celebrity skin is one of my all time favorite albums
Yoko Ono is a talented artist. The Beatles broke up because John Lennon was an a-hole everyone was sick of putting up with.
@@Happytravellerkimmy what??? Yoko Ono is TERRIBLE. 🤮
@@mave143 Have you been to any of her retrospectives? She was essential in the Fluxus movement. She's the reason I ever became interested in Fluxus and Dadaism. To each their own, I guess, but Cut Piece really did change my view of performance art.
omg, 'Hollaback Girl' makes SO much sense now!
Gregory Holstein Stefani was cheated on, so she recovers from it by starting an affair with a married man. That’s not classy at all. Maybe not as bad as CL, but that’s not saying much
@@pontius2000 Shes still classy
@@pontius2000 compared to CL gwen is so classy
Gwen is trash too lmao
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 think Kurt loved her. But i am not sure if she loved him...
She loved his money, that's for sure.

whatever else you say about Courtney “Live through this” is a fantastic Album.
Kurt was a silent writer for most of that album. Courtney doesn't have the lyrical sophistication or musical ability to produce piece of work like that.
@@mave143 that’s a rumor but I don’t know if it’s true.
@@bloodaonadeline8346 considering the lack of quality in any of her other work I would be inclined to believe the rumor
@@mave143 Girl that's bullshit. Courtney wrote with Billy and Erik. NONE OF HER MUSIC XOUNDS ANYTHING LIKE KURT. THEY WRITE TOTALLY DIFFERENT.
Kurt wrote it - that's why.
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.
He died about 20 minutes from me.
Hilarious when she insists that a song is about her while the artist says, “nope”! If narcissism was a drug, Love would be a junkie...wait...
she's a junkie
@@cmolodiets yeah that's the joke
I'm just now watching this and reading comments. I think this comment means you won the internet that day... She looks like she'd smell like patchouli, rotten tuna fish and pus.
If narcissism were a drug she wouldve o.d.'d a long time ago.
Heroin and narcissism go together like meth window peeking
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.
Second
thats fucking harsh
Well, ya beat me to it, but there's one more song that I KNOW was about her that they didn't mention and I'm gonna scroll the comments smore... but ya, this was one I was going to mention. When I 1st heard this song I was playing the CD thru my headphones at work and I just said outloud Ohhhhh shhhhiiiiit! it was brutal. LOL
@Mr. Fuck Hughson of 123 Eat Shit Lane Well, it's Primus and Tom Waits, so if you don't like weird, off-kilter stuff, you'll hate it. lol
ua-cam.com/video/dxiLXiWRqQs/v-deo.html
Lyrics from you know you’re right ‘ She just wants to love herself ‘. This has spoken a lot in my opinion
Honestly the message of I'll stick around didn't hit me until I fully read the lyrics and ik instantly it was abt courtney. great song by Dave 👏👏👏
Courtney wasn't so much influential as she was a cautionary tale.
She might even say the same thing. She's pretty up front about her faults.
Oh why aren't I a "cautionary tale? One might call me that , but in the real sense. Why didn't my mamee set me on her knee n say:" hey my baby. All u have to do is sing like whoever is in her mum's arms, just like you-no offence to whoever she is-- catch the world's most popular, pretty, talented bloke on the planet, not only keep him but even got the rock on the finger n a bub!!! And that, alone, will make him forever (n I don't know exactly how the endlessly repeated whining either about that or anything else pops up)
Ok, yup! Wrong button. The core of this is a very baffled, laugh. I loved Nirvana, Hole, etc. But, but.... I'm not allowed free speech in an arena devoted to that. If open argument is always vicious, if any difference
Again!! But hey, who reads this shit? Unless it's the misogyny, disgusting grade 2 writing, bleating, and always, always at the bottom, a profound distaste for women. Of women- of course- but the ejaculation, the money shot is of the women (I can give u a million examples but, mmm pearls before swine), the REAL pleasure shot is, inevitably is, of that evil chick who gets what's coming to/on/. And , yes, I'm an expert; not due to film footage but I wrote a very well received book on it. Now I have no reason to lie about it; nobody has a clue to my identity, and with that, farewell.
I don't think that's true. People who dislike her tend to diminish her music career. Specially Nirvana fanboys and fangirls. For so many female artists, having people like Courtney was actually very helpful and inspiring.
Not a song but I loved it when Maynard J Keenan of Tool wore a "Free Francis Bean" t-shirt on stage lol
wow, that sounds pretty good (apart from Tool being pretty excellent too) - do you have a download of a pic of him wearing the shirt, or we maybe should try and google about - if you got a pic PLEASE email it to us (lIlla, Jul, Ry at: ) hikingk415@gmail.com
so many people hate her as visible in the comments here but absolutely no doubt she is indeed a fascinating and a musical genius
My favorite comment on this whole thread.
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.
Les Claypool's On the Coattails of a Dead Man is about her too.
"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." Well said.
Jessica Hartman holy shit that's one of my favorite songs! i love the meaning now i know what its referencing!
Is it really? That’s such a great album with Tom waits
I always though that
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
i was expecting that to be in this video actually
Imagine being one of the most hated celebrities ever...
For a sociopathic narcissist, it's like oxygen, sad to say. Courtney is so broken, but she likes the brokenness, she feels comfortable in it, and there she will remain until the end of all things when we will have to answer the hardest questions put to us. I just want to be in the line with her to hear what she has to say about whether she had anything to do with Kurt's death...
@@DarlingNikki2 Aw I didnt know you were her psychologist. You dont know celebrities from their public behavior and interviews.
@@micnik3573 exactly. I love how everyone’s been casually drive-by analysing her as if they know her at all. Sure, she might seem like an absolute nutcase, but she was (and might still be) a huge drug addict. Drug addicts aren’t themselves.

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide
Let's talk about someone else
The steaming soup begins to melt
Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself
I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear
No thought was put into this
I always knew to come like this
Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail
The hollaback dig might be the most subtle but its the best one and most successful. Gwen won that battle and put courtney to shame
Alexis Anderson ,it is a good one. I can't believe all these yrs.i never knew that, I knew she called her a cheerleader but never put 2 and 2 together...the rest a the songs we all, Purdy much knew. I guess I never really thought about hollaback girl cause at the time I was really pissed that Gwen was changing her sound, and u know that typical teenage pissiness of me being mad that No doubt broke it off and I blamed her....She sounded like a power and her music sucked. Looking at it now thow, I can honestly say, the song is aweful, but it's sooo good becausee of what she did and how she planned it to rag on Courtney. I'll check mark like in that one from now on...I have a newfound respect for B-a-n-a-n-a-s! lmao[one of which I'm eating right now, oddly enuf...🤔weird.]
TheFuzzieWuzzie , Oh she spooo cares what people think about her...u under her spell too??! Or do u just not know her characteristics and persona well enough?
Get to know her with all your resources, and study hard...not just watch a couple MTV interviews and a few UA-cam clios,but really find out what she does and what she has always been about...you'll find out VERRRRY quickly ,she cares more than almost anything else in this World, what others think of her. 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).
She's admitted in different audio tapes leaked over decades of her life, just how much she getsnpeople to believe her "acts"... She brags that the biggest most absurd lie will be believe by all, if it comes from her and her very dramatic and sad little mouth.
This isn't an argument with you; Its to show u the truth. Just check it out. I promise u will disregard all your old thoughts about what you THOUGHT she was. Lol.
@@materialhell not even close
gwen is a queen!
@@materialhell I like courtney but gwen is more talented vocally, lyrically and well just in general.
"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."
Les Claypool (Primus)
Definitely! Forgot about that song. God primus was great.
Coattails of a dead man was what came to mind first for me.
I was looking for this comment... thank you!
Fuck yeah it's about her..how could they pass the most obvious one up?
I came here to make sure someone mentioned this.
Tori Amos also released "Shes your Cocaine" and "Mr. zebra," which both def had some relation to Courtney and Kurt.
She's your Cocaine was actually about Trent Reznor and how Courtney Love ruined their relationship.
Courtney was also name checked in Chumbawamba's "Passenger List of Doomed Flight # 1721"
Reeeally missing this:
"One day from the depths of his deep darkened hole
He reached out for something to feel
She offered back nothing but lack of respect
So he let 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
-- Coattails of A Dead Man, Primus
Love this song. Primus sucks!!!
oh my God I just realized that song is about HER. Holy shit
@@voteZDLR I just yelled out holy shit reading it before I read your comment. same fucking reaction. My father always played this in the van and had no clue until now.
And she still rides HAAA ♥
Les is God. Primus sucks!!
Imagine the inner conflicted feelings that Frances must be experiencing.
You know how it iis is on a day but it doesn't o
Yo I accidentally typed this when I was holding my phone while it was on😂
@@tinpork6553 Yeah Frances doesn't believe her mom did it. That has been obvious in how she has reacted to the documentary that suggests Courtney had him killed.
I hope she's good or goes to therapy
She was raised by that woman She probably f****** hates her too lmao
Don’t forget the Tori Amos song “she’s your cocaine”
Carly Simons wrote a song about Courtney Love even before she was born. Wow! She’s influential.
Starfuckers inc. is definitely about Courtney, but the "you're so vain" part is meant for Marilyn Manson.
See they were trying to warn us about who had been garbage to everyone behind the scenes!!
he’s in the music video so i doubt that
@@bellaswanalt Manson didn't just appear in the video, he directed it too. He knew the song was (partially)written about him but thought it would be fun to mess with peoples minds, and thus collaborated on the video.
He also had his own beef with love. It was kind of a "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" sort of deal.
MM IS IN THE STARFUCKER VIDEO 🤣
All these musicians have just given her exactly what she wanted: Attention and immortality.
Hated for eternity. She stole Kurt's money to keep her status.
Girl nobody thinks about her other than a reference to Kurt Cobain. Are memories dead other than Francis and that's not even her memory
and yet i do not know ONE song of hers at all
I'm such a really good si
nger 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/Lz5x6vFqFN0/v-deo.html
I agree. She is the defining occupational cocksurfer of musicians for an entire generation & seems to have enjoyed every second of it, including when she injected herself into & destroyed the relationships of others.
Groupies have shrines dedicated to her & motivational posters of her hanging on their bedroom walls.
Courtney fascinates me. How she can be so hated yet so powerful
Just one thing..."This is a Call" was the first Foo Fighters single. Apart from that, I love the video.
Stone Temple Pilots song, "Too Cool Queenie" is about her too:
There was this girl
Who lived not too long ago
As a matter of fact I think
She lives still
She knew she could do no wrong
Just singing those songs
That we all knew
She would always crash the party
It was no surprise
It was for her
Too Cool Queenie
There was this boy
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
Too Cool Queenie
It's all right cause what goes around, comes around
And now this girl
Yeah she got real famous
And she made lots of money and
Some of his too
But still she thinks she can do no wrong
Just playing those songs
She's all too cool"
Great song!
@@GucciButNotGuilty Amazing song on an amazing album.
Also,from same awesome album, "Hollywood Bitch"
That's sad as fuck
I was about to say this!
"I bet you think this song is about you,
You're so vain"
YES
That’s a good song. Carly Simon
@@malloryvolanti8806 and that's about warren beatty
I think “Coattails of a Deadman” by Primus fits Love perfectly, whether or not that song is about her is a mystery.
"He let himself out with two barrels of steel" That song is 100% about her toxic effect on Kurt no mystery about it the rest of the lyrics make it so obvious
I left my comment before I saw this one. But yeah, same comment.
You missed one of the most ironic and well known songs about Love; Didn’t We Deserve To Look At You The Way You Really Are by Shellac! Albini’s 15 minute meditation on Love is phenomenal
Ed Norton: famous 90's alt rocker.
peachmelba1000 yeh I caught that haha 😂
I read this the exact same time Ed Norton showed up...
I heard he's a nightmare hmmm well so is she so why didn't they get along? 🌿😂😂
I guess he meant rockers and actors, anyone famous really.
At the time she was trying to be taken seriously as an actor; she seems to latch on to anyone who'll feed her narcissism and increase her fame.
Babes In Toyland are a hella underrated band. Discovered them through the Sonic Youth concert film "1991: The Year Punk Broke"
babes in toyland arent very good they got the hype they deserved
He's my thang was alright...
I agree. They were very good live. Kat's singing is much better than Courtney's.
Totally agree. Babes in Toyland were FanFuckenTastic!
They are SO underrated!! I could never for the life of me understand why Hole was always more popular than them.
I’m so happy I discovered your channel!!!
I had always heard of her name but never knew who she was. I thought she was an actress this whole time 😂. Now I know what all the fuss is about!! This was a great vid!
Professional Widow is the perfect name for a diss track aimed at Courtney Love. Why isn’t Tori more proud of it?
Shes subtle and classy. Love my Tori!!
@@atis9061 "charisma" 😂
Peace, Love, and a Hard Cockkkkkk
She will supply!!!!
ava maria cause the song is shitty. Surprised people even bring it up. Even on her greatest hits it’s only featured as a remix.
Personally, I think Tori Amos, Alanis Morissette, Björk, PJ Harvey, Liz Phair, and Gwen Stefani were all more influential than Courtney Love. She's just a trainwreck constantly looking for attention.
Nope. Half of those you mentioned didn't even make rock and the other half faded into obscurity by now, lol.
@@mikhailefimenko2622 The only reason Courtney hasn't "faded into obscurity" is because she's a fucking attention whore who's always causing drama for no reason other than to try to remain relevant.
💯🤘
Dont forget Pixies singer Kim Deal and sonic Youth's Kim Gordon.
@@LasPhoenix777 Most definitely!
I grew up in the Seattle area. She reminds me a lot of some of the women there. Kurt's aunt used to come around to schools and she said they all thought Courtney was toxic
I'm here as a Nirvana/Foo Fighters fan, so y'all should know my stance on her-
Something tells me that she's narcissistic enough to think people wrote songs about her. I love Professional Widow tho.
Now where would you get an idea like that? 😂 I think she said "me" perhaps 18 times during the intro quote. I was going to make a similar comment, but saw you beat me to it. I cannot find many redeeming qualities in what she portrays as herself.
Yeah she’s a fucking crazy bitch who killed him. I bet she’s got some sort of sociopathic or narcissistic personality. She is clearly a manipulator and wants all the attention on her, even in Kurt’s death no one cares about her.
That song is Ahhhmazing.
I thought this too no lie.
Its because shes guilty and afraid
Little mentioned: "St. Cobain" by Vernon Reid. chorus: "Hole in the head where the Love won't grow/ Hole in the place where Love won't go"...
I once wrote a song called "Dirty old Slag" but it was never recorded. But if it had been, and it got famous, I'd have to admit it was about Courtney Love..
I remember getting super into The Strokes when i was in middle school and always being confused as to why Courtney Love thought “meet me in the bathroom” was about her. Then I was like “oh wait, she just does this all the time”
She has the most irritating valley girl type voice I’ve ever heard
Agreed. She sounds like the cheerleader she pretends to hate.
that was her at the beginning? ahhh lmao I thought that was someone making fun of how she sounds
eddie fckn vedder IS IT REALLY?? no way lmao
i thought so too, but he says at the end that he got other people for additional voices
I thought someone was reading the first part as her then I realized it WAS her.
Should have called it:
(Courtney) Love Songs
nice one, man!
@Goggle products You, sir, are an IDIOT!
Nah, this isn't loudwire
I wrote a song about Courtney Love a long time ago. I ended up selling that song to Eminem. He changed just a few lyrics around and renamed the song Kim. 🤘😂🤘
Thank you for your last thoughts on Courtney at the end of this as you wrapped this up! As Lori Bravo of Nuclear Death, I have known the same bullshit and scorn but controversy is EVERYTHING man! It means, as an artist, that one is creating, doing, making something AMAZING and TRULY UNIQUE! ^..^
lmao she really basically said “I’m not like other girls”
well, lets get real, she clearly is not.
@@m-bronte LMAO
IMO many women in the 90's rock scene did, they just weren't married to Kurt Cobain, assholes and drug addicts, so we don't shit on them.
She's not even a human anymore, she's just a living meme. 😂
@@m-bronte she's not like other girls, other girls aren't drug addict narcissists
5:19 “famous alt rockers” shows Edward Norton
I think they just put that there because she dated "A LISTERS" A STAR FUCKER! 🤣😂
Swifty Prime random 90s hottie insert
And his famous grunge band "Jack's Smirking Revenge"
Perfect. Now we just need Courtney to inspire someone else to help this generation to accurately spell avacadoes. You know, for the toast.
i'll help you since i'm cooler than courtney

🎵 'Courtney Loves Pixie Meat' by JRA is a new song which is about her. It's on all streaming platforms.
Courtney: So many songs off Siamese Dream are about me.
Billy: Wow, a bigger megalomaniac than me.
Yeah for real. No SP songs are about her, except for maybe (MAYBE!) X.Y.U. from Mellon Collie
"Love is suicide" in Bodies makes me think that Bodies is also about her
I’m pretty sure Nirvana’s “You Know you’re right” is also about her as well
It is. It's his middle finger to her.. saying he's over her shit and everything she's put him through. He wants to leave her, turn his back and not be a part of her or her life again. At the end he says "you know your rightS" because he was divorcing her as well as wiping her out of his will. Unfortunately, just like hearing Layne Staley sing Died and Get Born Again, it's the last song we'll ever hear from him
@@nelliesilvers1210 he literally said fuck you many times to everyone who said anything bad about her. but "fans" have their own little film in their little heads. they think they knew their relationship better then they knew it themselves. we will never know what happened there, it's not out place to know!
I don't think that song is about her tbh, the song seems to be about this feeling many severly depressed people have that they know they'll kill themselves eventually so nothing matters, "you know you're right" is what Kurt is saying to himself as even after becoming a rich rockstar ("things have never been so swell") he wants to die
@@jade9305 the lyrics "nothing ever bothers her, she just wants to love herself" seem kinda sus though
@@Sophie_Pea yeah that can be a mention of courtney (or any other woman kurt was close with) but doesn’t mean the whole song is about her
Don't forget "Love, Love, Love" by the Mountain Goats
"And way out in Seattle, young Kurt Cobain
Snuck out to the greenhouse, put a bullet in his brain
Snakes in the grass beneath our feet, rain in the clouds above
Some moments last forever, but some flare out with love, love, love"
Nothing on Nevermind is about Courtney, it's well documented that all the songs on that album were written before Kurt met Courtney. It's largely inspired by Kurts ex Tracy Marander. I don't know why Courtney felt the need to lie about that seeing as how much of In Utero is about her (heart shaped coffin anyone) but whatever she's a sociopath.
You're exactly right, Lithium is about Tracy too
Some are about Tobi Vail.
@@MrParkerman6 I was about to type exactly that. Nevermind was very Tobi influenced as Bleach was more about Tracy and In Utero more about Courtney
Uhm actually she probably has borderline personality disorder with narcissistic complications. At least, her lyrics and guitar style speak of it.
@@whitetransgirlwithdreads I wholeheartedly agree with that diagnosis!
5:17 Famous alt-rocker Edward Norton
He’s my favorite punk artist
Ed Norton is a Doorknob
@@stevensons78 Rob Schneider is a carrot
not sure what she is like in person but there is no denying that raw amazing rasp of a voice.. shes amazing. i think she just never realized it never had to be about other people.. listen weekly to her music.. separate your objections and just listen to the music. shes powerful. raw... and amazing ... personally id never want to know her probably duno? she dissed Brody Dalle and since havent cared about her personal life lol but music.. shes was amazing IMO
Smashing Pumpkins' song "Today" could possibly be about the day Billy Corgan and courtney love broke up. "Today is the greatest day I've ever known"
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.
I’m of the opinion that Cobain didn’t kill himself. There’s much evidence that Courtney Love murdered him. There’s a particularly great documentary about this from a private investigator which Love hired.
@@crystalprice1942 are you talking about "soaked in bleach"? Because that is a great documentary. There is no doubt in my mind that Kurt's death was murder, not suicide.
Brittneeey I think she’s talking about doc Kurt & Courtney. Kind of a nod to Sid & Nancy. As Love was very similar to Nancy Spungen. Love even had a bit part in the film. 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.
@@theangrycro-mag9444 I've seen both, but "Soaked in Bleach" is a great documentary.
Or maybe she had a lot of shit going on??
I love Tori Amos so much.
I've never seen someone hold themselves with such class and grace
but when she's not playing, she's boring.
Roy G Biv fuck off. She’s got a range
Lol can’t sing for shit and boring...ummm are you seeing a different Tori than I because she is amazing!
Roy G Biv Musical tastes are diverse dummy.
So did she have a thing with Trent? I'm confused 🤔
i think Sister Blister by Alanis Morissette could be about her too. Courtney attacked Alanis publically a few times but later changed her mind and relented, sharing a few other sweet coments on Alanis. The song is more on the "Hey, let's try to get along" lane. Not a spiteful song.
Even The Beach Boys did a song about her...
“Round round get around...
I get around “
I don't like her, but you can't deny that Celebrity Skin is an amazing album.
Yeah you can thank Billy Corgan for that, apparently
Too bad she didn't write it. And it was mediocre at best. Her execution is quite lacking and the melodies are clearly not hers. She doesn't scream well like so many did in that era. There's so much negative to say about that album and even that era of her band. Not much positive to say at all.
Back then, I would take almost anything to listen to over Hole, even hokey Christian rock.
due to Billy Corgan's production
@@KMFDM_Kid2000Christian rock wasn't entirely hokey back then. I still listen to some bands like Jarsof clay.
@@MissWinkle555exactly. And Starflyer 59 are what indie rock should be
“I went on that UA-cam and all they have is videos talking about me” - Courtney Love.
"All the the comments were about me, too, but, you know, whatever."
Salvador Prado *LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL*
I can't stop laughing, it is Courtney Love's mentality, every song is about her. What's she at now 666 songs all written about her, in her own mind of course. Let's try "Die Fame Whore". That's for you Mrs. Love.
wouldn't that be Mrs. Cobain? or Ms. Love?
Salvador Prado her voice kills me
Primus’ “coat tails of a deadman” is absolutely not about her 😂😂😂
for those who don't understand that whole heart-shaped box thing, it has to do with a present Courtney made her (a heart-shaped box with stuff inside, probably doll parts if I remember correctly) and she wrote Doll Parts thinking about one of their first instances interacting in which he actually turned her down or sth. It's like a bunch of hints about heartbreak or issues
