Courtney Love demands fans say “Foo Fighters are gay”

Contributed by BananaJoe. Posted by aubin on Monday, November 14, 2011 at 12:00 PM (EST)

In a surreal display of bitterness, Hole's Courtney Love walked off stage after being shown a photo of her deceased husband, Nirvana vocalist Kurt Cobain. Before leaving, she took some shots at Nirvana drummer and Foo Fighters leader Dave Grohl and stormed off stage. Finally, she agreed to return to the stage but only after demanding that an Italian audience chant "Foo Fighters are gay" and accusing Grohl of "taking food off [her] kid's table."

Holy shit

kidecono (andrew) (November 14, 2011)

Someone needs to buy that bloke a bag of chips and a belt.

thealexrogan (November 15, 2011)

I cant stand that "LA ROCK" look. That dude is a boner deluxe.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

this woman is batshit crazy. there's no two ways about it.

loki13 (November 14, 2011)

Why are all the good women taken???

Problematiclogic (November 14, 2011)

I'm pretty sure she said 'money' as opposed to food'.

Just so she doesn't try to sue you guys too.

theseaandalifesaver (November 14, 2011)

Is this real life?

sandsky (November 17, 2011)

Is this just fantasy?

Piata (November 14, 2011)

Courtney Love must hold some kind of record for the longest persistent train wreck in history. Even if you combined Lindsey Lohan, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashin into one colossal fuck up, they would still pale in comparison to the crazy shit this woman has said and done.

skolarx (November 14, 2011)

Britany Spears added to that combo might put it close

fox82 (November 14, 2011)

To be honest, even if Britney was still in her Gary Bussey-lite phase from a few years ago, I still don't think they'd be close enough.

davebrave4 (November 14, 2011)

Tabloidnews.org

Heathbar (November 14, 2011)

I'm pretty sure the drug habit is what takes food/money off of her kids' table.

martinNZ09 (November 14, 2011)

Too damn true

Fuck this crazy bitch

Steeves88 (November 14, 2011)

Hole has fans?

mielder (November 14, 2011)

apparently in italy

Steeves88 (November 14, 2011)

I suppose the recent presence of the Jersey Shore cast has given Italians an unquenchable thirst for shitty things.

BananaJoe (November 14, 2011)

It is in Brazil !

mielder (November 14, 2011)

you got me! i'm a stupid american with terrible geography skills. i'll go take a class at the community college as a way of apology.

enchant (November 14, 2011)

My question... what the fuck is she wearing?

Chadreligion (November 14, 2011)

Just saw this on NME.com

Aside from being a total mess, i think its kind of fucked that someone just up and grabbed a photo of Kurt and waved it up towards her. What was their purpose? Whatever it was, I mean, its not hard to say that was just plain rude. Along with her, I'd like to see someone do that at a Foo Fighters show just t see what sort of reaction it would get.
And what's with all the hot chicks and half naked british dude in her fuckin crew?

wauz (November 14, 2011)

you pretty much summed up what I was thinking watching this.

Misanthropee (November 14, 2011)

Trolling people like Courtney Love isn't rude, it's fun and productive.

JayTee (November 14, 2011)

Anyone who bought the last Hole record should be thoroughly deprogrammed for the safety of us all.

flydebs (November 14, 2011)

um... what?

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

"she is a lady punk rock hero who gives no fucks about what anyone thinks of her." a twitter aquaintence of mine defending courtney love. *sigh* fucking hipster chicks. the woman may in fact be stan himself, incarnate and walking the earth, is about as punk as puff daddy, and i believe there's a better then decent chance she had a hand in her husband's death. but hey, what would i know?

loki13 (November 14, 2011)

She very well may be stan himself...

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

oops, yeah. in my hate-filled blurred tirade, i may have confused stan with satan.

loki13 (November 14, 2011)

it's funny that way. Stan from South Park, Stan(ley) The Office, or the Eminem song???

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

i'm gonna have to give it up to stan from south park here. although i think the best decision they made in years was to make his dad a major character. a randy episode is a good episode.

beardedbassMN (November 14, 2011)

creme fraiche?

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

yes! or the episode with Batdad. rad.

baronvonfuckyoustien (November 20, 2011)

I don't know about that Steamy Ray Vaungh I was not feeling it.

skolarx (November 14, 2011)

Same thing they did with the Simpsons when they figured out that Homer was way more interesting that Bart could ever be

Piata (November 14, 2011)

Bart and Homer are both idiots though. Stan's still interesting because he's smarter than pretty much everyone in town and often struggles with mass public stupidity which is frequently fuelled by his father.

skolarx (November 14, 2011)

Good point. Kyle is generally the only other person in the town with the slightest bit of sense

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

Excuse me, but what about Stan the salesman from 'Monkey Island'?! Philistines.

Doesn't matter, I guess. Stan Ridgway can knock down all y'all motherfuzzers.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

How about Stan Rogers? now there's a man. (albeit a dead one)

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

I will beat you with a plank.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

i don't believe you HAVE a plank.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

Well, it's a...it's a board, so no, technically it's not a plank as it's not as thick, but it can still do a fair amount of damage if I set my mind to it.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

shit, you called my bluff.

i-type-poorly (November 14, 2011)

I actually thought you were making a deep-cut MST3K reference. You shoulda rolled with it.

rightcliqificus (November 14, 2011)

s'tan

drbino (November 14, 2011)

Stan 'The Boy' Taylor?

jacknife737 (November 14, 2011)

Que?

mielder (November 14, 2011)

dammit i hate rap battles

Wags (November 14, 2011)

Win!

pricey123 (November 14, 2011)

I wonder if she's aware of the nerf herder track about her

mielder (November 14, 2011)

ugh that just gave me the image of her sitting on my face and smelling like spoiled tuna fish

skolarx (November 14, 2011)

I'd have to imagine the tuna would smell better than whatever odor would waft from that mess

cfriedrich (November 14, 2011)

Ew. Waft made that so much worse sounding.

mielder (November 15, 2011)

strangely, it made me hungry for waffles...

ProdigalSon75 (November 14, 2011)

she probably has never heard of them

Mooreman (November 14, 2011)

Keep hitting that crack pipe, you crack whore.

kidecono (andrew) (November 14, 2011)

Sweet misogyny, brah.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

i don't think it counts, if you're doing it to courtney love.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

I don't think it counts at all, considering it's an insult directed towards a single person as opposed to a generalization of the entire gender. For God's sake, we're sitting directly under a thread of comments where people are talking about how bad her vagina smells and *this* is what someone calls "misogynist"? O_o

MN_DrNick (November 14, 2011)

Is she ever going to get over her husband's death and stop living off his money?

nick_s (November 15, 2011)

...and the weird belief that Dave Grohl is the root of all her problems.

BananaJoe (November 14, 2011)

It was in Brazil, not Italy. She also did a live top less.

rightcliqificus (November 14, 2011)

What's a "live top less"?

BananaJoe (November 14, 2011)

Showing tits live.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

arrrrrr, that's replaced the whales in my nightmares.

robalobadob (November 14, 2011)

What about a whale with her face and boobs?

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

THAT would be a surefire sign of the endtimes.

JayTee (November 14, 2011)

Live! Boobs Out! Tonight!

JimmyNorville (November 14, 2011)

I like to think of it more as a "move" like - she runs for the basket, she shoots, she pulls a "live top less", she is blocked by Kareem Abdul Jabbar.

JayTee (November 14, 2011)

I was going for the name of Nirvana's video "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" but I fucked up, cuz I put tonight at the end.

lostcausegiveup (November 14, 2011)

i still got it, and laughed.

scorpiondeathlock (November 14, 2011)

if this way my wife, i'd probably do heroin too

JayTee (November 14, 2011)

I think Hole and Foo Fighters both suck. However, gun to my head, if I had to listen to one or the other? I'd listen to Foo Fighters because Dave Grohl is a cool person and Courtney Love is not.

maxwellmurder (November 14, 2011)

Foo Fighters do not suck. You take that back.

JayTee (November 14, 2011)

The video for Everlong was pretty boss, and I'm enough of a Germs fan to excuse stuff from when they had Pat Smear. I will never forgive them for unleashing that "there goes my hero" song on the world though.

eatdogs (November 14, 2011)

i like the foo fighters, but the best of you is probably in my top ten most hated songs of all time...

ahoitherr (November 14, 2011)

Gun to your head? Is that a Kurt Cobain reference?

eatdogs (November 14, 2011)

i loved nirvana, but this honestly made me laugh. it's sad, but funny, stupid, yet crazy, poor, yet big bucks money grubbin'.

"yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhh bbbbbooooooooyyyyyyyy!!!"

http://theflickcast.com/2009/09/18/ editorial-the-kurt-cobain-guitar-hero-5-controversy/

robalobadob (November 14, 2011)

I like how the drummer stands up and takes a picture while C.Love is just flipping out.

killtaker (November 14, 2011)

"i have to live with his kid everyday"
Did she really say that? Thanks Mom.

markbuzz (November 14, 2011)

Imentioned this to my wife who said she thoguht the kid was living with and being raised by grand parents...

johnnyz77 (November 14, 2011)

Frances bean is engaged to some rocker named Isaiah Silva. so i am sure she might be living with him.

Mr_Sleepy (November 16, 2011)

She was raised by her grandparents.

Urkman (November 14, 2011)

I always imagined Courtney consumed drugs the same way Cookie Monster ate cookies.

gugl0003 (November 14, 2011)

pretty much

kewced (November 14, 2011)

See This is why we dont have Rock Stars anymore.

JimmyNorville (November 14, 2011)

it's also the reason we can't have nice things

robotbob (November 14, 2011)

Hey Courtney, Dave was in Nirvana you were just a wannabe Yoko.

Freethinkingpunk (November 15, 2011)

awesome hahahahaha

timahelm (November 14, 2011)

what a drama....what a DRAMA!!!

karliscool (November 14, 2011)

She needs to watch this

mr_applesauce (November 14, 2011)

people still listen to hole??

ILikeShittyThings (November 14, 2011)

I like Hole and Courtney Love is HOT!!!!

Piata (November 14, 2011)

Your schtick is almost as good as that Blink182Rules guy.

bart-blank (November 14, 2011)

you're so rad!

deathmetalbrian (November 14, 2011)

so she's a talentless succubus drug addict washed up whore bag, and a biggot? awesome.

cheesecakemafia (November 14, 2011)

Shit music made by a shit person. How entirely shitty.

Silentsounds (November 14, 2011)

Hole is gay.
Courtney Love really needs to get over it. Or fuck off and die already. She should have killed herself instead of killing Kurt.

Freethinkingpunk (November 15, 2011)

agreed

jimmy_the_saint (November 14, 2011)

Celebrity Rehab will be calling very soon...

CaptainMicrowave (November 14, 2011)

I know courtney isn't a homophobe but she sure is a bitch. I doubt she killed kurt directly, but If I married her I'd shoot myself too.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

So much hate for Courtney Love on this site. Strange.

ahoitherr (November 14, 2011)

Punknews loves Skibz and hates Courtney Love.

Skibz777 (November 14, 2011)

But how does Courtney Love feel about Skibz?

'Cuz I'll be honest...I'd spend a night with it. ;D

ahoitherr (November 14, 2011)

Who wouldn't? Even after she came to town and showed her poonanners to everyone. Seriously. Bumbershoot two years ago Hole played and she decided to wear a short skirt and just lifted her leg and slowly rotated so everyone could get a peek. It was exactly what my friend and I were joking about her doing right before.

bigposer (November 15, 2011)

"you didn't get out of a band by him like dave, he did..." what is this woman saying?

cleansheets (November 15, 2011)

#psychohosbeast

moneenerd (November 16, 2011)

Other than what she said at the very end... how is this crazy?

Someone is waving a picture of her dead husband at her at a concert, PROBABLY out of maliciousness. She says that it's not cool, it's unnecessary, and she sees his "ghost in his kid everyday".

keithybobeefy (November 20, 2011)

I agee that the person in the crowd is a dick for doing that, but she's just as much of a dick for walking off. The crowd didn't collectively hold up signs that made up Cobain's face.
