Courtney Love - HOLE - Interviews + Live Clips from '91 - '92 - '93 

Always loved Courtney. She manifested her whole life

"Do you know how many zits l have right now?" "Five??"

I don't even care; I think she's incredible

omg. she is so powerful and so awful and beautiful. i love courtney.

Honestly as much as I dislike Courtney as a person, I do love her authenticity. And the fact that everybody in her late husband’s circle hated her (especially his friends) just makes her Punk-Rock. I remember being mind-blown when I first heard of Live Through This as a 14 year old. I revisited the album after I got out of an abusive relationship. There is something cool about her and she has been my fashion inspo since high school. She might not be the nicest person but hey she makes great songs and that’s good enough for me.

Honest, inteligent, bonkers and talented, a true, twisted star.

shes so clever shes a real artist in my opinion. She inspires me

The material Hole made in the early 90's was so real, powerful, raw, unique. I don't know anything else like it. And it was good music. I was annoyed when their newer stuff sounded so pop. now realize that Pretty On Inside was a product of someone in a particular time, and not the sort of thing that would be reproduced.

She's actually really switched on. Why do we have to over-scrutinise these rock stars? Just dig the music and don't expect musicians to be perfect.

She was going through hell in this period. Stripping, part time gigs acting, modeling, on tour getting followings. She did everything possible. Bless her heart.

She looks absolutely stunning in that interview where she has red/brown hair, absolutely beautiful.

When I think of her I think of strength. She's so strong

Drown Soda is a very good song. I admit it.

Jesus Christ she has so much ambition. She made her career with Hole herself. She achieve main stream success pre Cobain. She made it possible and put in the work. I don’t understand why people hate her. She truly is fucking phenomenal.

this is brilliant. it pretty much encapsulates the very best of her- her wit, talent and ambition. And the main reason why i believe Hole resonates so deeply with me.

"Do you know how many zits I have right now?" "Five?" lmao

HER CLOTHES ARE AMAZING

the fact people hate on her is disgusting. they did the same with yoko. always blaming the woman for what their man does lmao edit: at the time i aint even know she was racist, anti feminist, all that shit. i was probs referring to the fact she was blamed for kurts addiction and decisions. i dont support her at all now so pls dont comment on this. ive read and heard yall out.

Not only is she really intelligent, she writes fantastic music, and on a more superficial side, the early 90s was one of the most beautiful women I've seen.

My queen of rock star. I don't care about what everyone says about her she rocks inside out.

"Be the football captain" I think that just changed my life. Holy shit.

It's a shame that you have mentioned that this footage was taken from the documentary "Not Bad For A Girl" which had some amazing footage of some great bands like the Lunachicks, Babes In Toyland, L7 etc.

The thing at the end... "Be the jock" dammit I really fucking needed that, just gotta work on being the jock now

"Be the football captain"

@courtneylove I'm 28 years old. I live in a small, rural Tennessee town... And in reference to you saying that you wanted to be the one that got the "prize".. Well, in my opinion, and so so many others, you have most certainly attained that prize and have written so much more than just "2 or 3 brilliant rock songs"... You're the unsung hero to women.. wish you were more appreciated. You're fucking brilliant and talented to a degree that I can't wrap words around.. thank you

BE THE FOOTBALL CAPTAIN!

shes fucking amazing

Courtney is incredible because she is NOT pretentious, never self-righteous. She's ambitious, brave, quick witted, and powerful. I've always loved her. She truly seems like the type of person who would take the time to talk to anyone, or at least feel that she isn't above doing something like that.

Damn, Frances looks just like her mom.

Point of the video..courtney loves saying archetype

Be the football captain. :)

this early footage is incredible.

Wow, total Lydia Lunch influences. I love it. You know my influences. Sonic Youth and Black Sabbath.

She is so amazing and you are amazing for posting this....She is extremely smart, witty and way before her time...she created her time! Lets hope she has not lost a lot of this passion..much love x

Thank you very much for uploading all those videos. Really sweet of you! You're awesome!

I rewatch this video every month

So thankful for this bands contribution ❤

You won, you are the one who wears the crown, the ultimate rock star, stronger than any kind of guy and so brilliant and beautiful

Always loved her ! ❤ She is herself and has such confidence. Great music. Listening to her music taught me how to find my voice. 🎶 but does anybody know why she plays the guitar left-handed and right-handed ???

Lmao “wigglet” I’ve never heard that one before 😂

listening to courtney hearing her version nice video refreshing voice good to know finally i have an opportunity checking this out. shes intelligent

8:55 epic

Epic! I've never seen this interview. Did this air in the U.S? If it did, I just don't know how I missed it. So much Pretty on the Inside footage! Thanks for the upload, in case no one has said so lately.

Being a kid when she was big was great. Such a role model.

That women mooves me so much. I have a wild dream of her putting out an accoustic / voice only genius solo album. I want assholes who keeps on saying she has no talent, or saying that she's there only because she once was some talented men's wife to feel stupid and sorry about all the shit they poured on her.

I wish the volume was louder! great clips! stellar Courtney, I love her!!!!!!!

thank you for this

Gosh, I've been listening to this music since it came out and still to this day, it has merit. So much of what came after the early 90s has eclipsed and distorted and diluted this music and the music of similar artists. But regardless of any of the Hollywood stuff, or fads, or analysis this music was pure cathartic victory. There were so many young people, being abused, severely bullied, and rejected by both their families and society itself. Teenage suicide was nothing more than a day off of school and shameful glares. Kids who were abused were often met with scorn if they did manage the courage to tell someone. And bullying ( I mean the severe physical and mental kind, which nowadays would get a student put into legal trouble, let alone expelled) was simply " part of growing up" and every day, severe torment inflicted on innocent kids was tolerated, ignored, and even instigated by the adults in charge. You had to find inner strength to literally stand up against a world that was against you. And for all you knew, the whole world was- for there was no internet to meet like minded people with ease, no online forms to give a sense of belonging in the world. This music and other bands like Hole helped so many kids like me cope. Through it, our feelings were validated, our rage and pain a kind of battle cry from the speakers of the stereo. And it was pure and vicious and crushing and victorious and absolutely hopeful. Time changes people, but art is eternal. And for this music I am eternally grateful.

There she is, the only real female rock legend. What she is saying is first time, man, that I hear someone talk like myself about ridiculous. Legend! Fucking legend, sorry about that, she is amazing. Her performance man. Brilliance pure.

OMG what's the concert on 0:09 ??? The quality is AWESOME and the sound is too

She's beautiful and I love her energy! Idc what anyone says about her. You can't deny that she had ambition and went after what she wanted.

I hate that people hate her. They don't even know the half of it.

she seems to make life so hard on herself. She's really intelligent but probably gets herself worked up about stuff, especially where Kurt's money goes it seems. She makes stupid decisions like the rest of us and gets so much hate for it.

It seems really difficult to find footage pre-94/live through this era when they were actually playing pretty on the inside material And harder to find any with and tangible audio or visual recording quality And I count at least 4 concerts in these clips that are awesome quality- only one I’ve been able to find I can’t be the only person that wants to know the dates of the concert footage, right??

I will always always,I love her&she is very intelligent,her music phenomenal woman, unfiltered &raw so fuckin sick!!I remember in the 90's Holes very 1st album live thru this hundreds of times had the the CD!Muwah bitches/PEACE!🤗😘

8:01 was just chillingly beautiful

Love this woman ! Thanks for sharing this.

Thanks for posting this video I've never seen this interviews. You're the best! and of course Courtney is so wonderful and brilliant as always. xoxoxo

Her voice is so awesome

Love her. She is so amazing. I hate that not that much people see the intelligent side of her :P

Do you, or anyone else, have the footage from Club Lingerie that was shown in this video? The unedited, more dark and less vibrant footage.

I fucking love her and Kurt

Loved to have seen Courtney in her Hey day"

Fucking amazing. I am loving this channel, SO many gems I've never seen. (And I've seen a lot!) Thank you very much for your devotion to this channel.

"Omg do U kno how many zits I have right now?" Love her!!!!

Too bad she did "destroy" herself (plastic surgery) to get the football captain so to speak. Plus, Francis also changed her nose. I wonder if she talked Francis into plastic surgery cuz she hated her own nose. I liked her original face. She didn't need to change it. I wish she still could perform, but she burnt out fast (her voice, guitar). She was incredible, Pretty on the Inside is still my fave, the best album in my opinion. She gave into celebrity, which is what she wanted I know, but it leaves a bad taste how she name drops her celeb friends. Can I please go back in time!?? Please?

Kristen 💔

I think she looks good before all the plastic...

be the football coach

She wrote so much more than 3 good rock songs.

This is why I love her. Thnaks for uploading this!

be the football captain, my friends

I got to see HOLE play at the 1999 big day out in melbourne, & they were fucking awesome! 'LIVE THROUGH THIS' has got to be one of the best albums of the 90's! But I didn't really get into their newer album 'CELEBRITY SKIN', have they done anything else since that? Or is Courtney just working as an actress now?

"Beautiful Disaster" sums it up in a nutshell

yes,this whole clip os from NBFAG movie.

Where can I find that footage where she sings drown soda?

So beautiful so inspiring

Hi All Well Where Did You Find These Live Clips.

Yeah BUT now she hangs with Versace, Micheal Kors, etc....kinda weird. Queen of Grudge shouldn't be rocking labels, JS! As a 16 yr old in 1994, posers...ugh! I love Hole! I think C Love is an evil genius.

I love Courtney end of story

This is amazing and really deserves more views. At some times it seems as though they are talking to someone who's on a crazy drug trip, yet everything she says makes sense. It's a shame things turned out how they did, what with drugs and Kurt and all that shit. She could have actually still been a respectable member of the entertainment industry, who knows.

She’s a genius

The only reference point you’ll ever be is the person behind the premeditated murder of kurt Cobain

OMG ! I LOVE COURTNEY LOVE ❤

I find it kind of funny how she used to talk about worshiping at the idol of beauty and beauty standards and all that shit. If you look at her now she's a fashionista and going to all these fashion shows and trying to be so glamorous. At one time she might have been this rebellious queen of be yourself and fuck what everybody says, but now she's become the thing that she said she didn't want to be.

Where does she find those dresses? I love her style. It looks so effortless

In 10 or 20 years they’ll be calling you worse.

You got your crown. Society belittled you but you've made a definitive mark. I love you

Be the football captain 🤩

she rocks out

Still do . She's gorgeous

So so powerful love her or not.

She’s underrated. Awesome girl.

Does anyone know the date/location of the performance at 7:57? It's a beautiful performance of "Doll Parts", I'm curious because I'd like to see if I could track down a bootleg of the show. Kristen Pfaff is in the background on bass, so it would have had to have been in 1993, as that was her only year in the band before she died.

can anyone tell me what year/interview the clips with courtney as a brunette/red head are from? its for citation purposes. thank you!

Love her!

8:56 She should've heeded her own words when she said not to maim yourself-all that plastic surgery she's had over the years & she never needed it in the first place! Now she can almost be Stevie Nicks sister! She also takes steroid shots to lower her voice so she can kind of sound like a man. I don't know how often or what kind exactly, but she talks about it in interviews. It's why she sounds a little manly these days-I think she sounded better 20 yrs ago. She says she loves herself, so I don't know why she would need to have surgery!

No one like Courtney! Shes amazing!

the last thing she says.....so true :O

Y'all absolutealy love to play the judge in a court. As if any of you knew her personally...
