Hole - Dicknail (live)

[youshotandywarhol]

@loveislovepeaceis, this was 1990. one of their earlier shows. I think it was at Club Lingerie in Hollywood.

[loveislovepeaceis]

what year?

[meatfreehappy]

@loveislovepeaceis It would most likely be 1991,from the Pretty On the Inside era..

[loveislovepeaceis]

@meatfreehappy thanks it just wondered me because this looks really old as in the camera quality

[iwannabeanarchy]

I WANT YOU TO UNDERSTAND.. THIS HURTS ME A LOT MORE THAN IT HURTS YOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU ♫

[ltpvs]

actually, courtney has said it's about wanting to nail rapists' and child molesters' dicks to a wooden plank since they want to nail others with their dicks. it has a double meaning

[Hammered001]

@ltpvs I totally agree.  Also run a hot fireplace poker way up into the small part of their ass!

[youshotandywarhol]

Fuckin' crazy performance, she is truly one of a kind. I also think she was probably really high during this concert... she looks like a wild animal at some points, you can totally see it in her eyes.

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

This is why Kurt Cobain was in love with Courtney Love. Fucking fearless.

[HugzzFuckedYou]

i lov hole, but this earlier dark stuff is my favourite thing about hole .

[rubberducky155]

I got chills everytime she hit a huge scream/growl or whatever. she is so fawcking amazing! <3

[rubberducky155]

I got chills everytime she hit a huge scream/growl or whatever.

[courtneydollparts]

i love this song

[AngelQ420]

fucking looooove this shit! 

[reneeroxy]

Shanex36 ...when a perverted man motion his index or middel finger 2 cum towards him in a sexual way. DICKNAIL

[bsiveyer1]

this is l♥ve ☆ 

[andrewdancing]

I love at 3:47 when she says, "I want you to understand that this hurts me a lot more than it hurts you."

[iwannabeanarchy]

@andrewdancing OMG ME TOO. Especially how ANGRY she sounds singing YYYYYYYYOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUU­UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU .

[supervixen19]

apart from this song being about rape i'm pretty sure its also influenced by the poem "daddy" by sylvia plaith...its about rape/incest and courtneys said before that its her favorite poemxxx

[misterkurdt]

Does anyone know what year this was performed? Fucking amazing performance, I love it when Courtney gets PISSED!

[supervixen19]

@misterkurdt 1990...@ club lingerie

[misterkurdt]

@supervixen19 Thanks man

[KTF0]

It's funny this would be considered doom metal if it werent for Courtney's vocals. Bad ass song nevertheless.

[rayolacer]

god yes. anyone spotted this song on the film nowhere? goood shitt

[murdersherote13]

This is the best Hole video I've ever seen. She looks possessed by the performance of it @ 3:12-3:13

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

@murdersherote13 I've always said that! haha, it's my all time favourite too. Absolutely genius.

[melfaery]

lol @ Eric playing "Cars" by Gary Numan at the end.

[AngelQ420]

i can listen to this all fucking day!! DICKNAIIIIIL!!!

[AngelQ420]

omg! i wish i was there!!!!

[Metalkitty33]

great early Hole stuff , this is when the band was at their best .

[TheDianaJC]

She's weird without the REALLY DEEP red lipstick! Looks like a teen!

[bobbybobbinson]

Fucking intense. That ending...

[baybswurl95]

I like Hole as an aggressive grungy punk-ish( in one word badass) band. I dont care for all this pop rock they are doing now not to mention none of the original band members. except Court. of course lol and I mean she seems like an aggressive person and back then the music fit that....now...not so much....but I still love hole even though i wasn't even alive when they aggressive stuff was popular. but still I love hole...but nirvana is my #1 :D

[taxidermy911]

i can't even deal with how amazing this is.

this woman will always be my idol.

I'd like to see someone try to tell her to get back in the kitchen.

[TheDrowningCat]

Courtney Love is the beeeest yeah

[courtneylove4]

it makes me sooo jealous of the people who were there. Like they were so close to Hole and they had no idea of the legends they were standing in front of.

[2837sharding]

she llooks so high

AWESOME

[DoReMi123able]

this is probably what hell sounds like

[lerskapare]

@DoReMi123able No way, in hell they play Spice Girls.

[courtneylove4]

@lerskapare or Ke$ha. if they played this in Hell, I'd live in Hell, haha

[HeatherHell666]

tom grant is right.

[missxiola]

tom grant has rarely been right about anything and he ran like a little girl when he finally got to confront courtney cos he had nothin' and he knew it.

[subymay]

i love this gig!

[desmondjohnson13]

wow its like her and kurt was born for rock music

[pinkygirl1975]

Totally fucking awesome.

[AngelVomit26]

I second that motion, Grrrl

[linoleumbored]

this is so intense and awesome!!!!!

[sugarrrcoma]

the best time of hole and courtney

[bobbybobbinson]

What kind of guitars are they playing anyway?

[sleepingbee]

looks like courtney is playing a Rickenbacker, not sure bout the others...

[linoleumbored]

she played a rickenbacker when she first started out (courtney love)

[kurtney91]

FUCKING LOVE THIS SHIT!

[helikopternspyr]

AWESOME!

[kurtcobain1981]

she is fucking sick at the end !!! love it :)

[xxgrungegoddxx]

her scream makes me shiver... she was so wonderful at this point, so raw

[linoleumbored]

totally...this is so intense. it's totally why i became obsessed with her when i was 14...her realness, rawness...it was so refreshing and shocking to me as a teenage girl. she was my idol- to speak my mind and not give a fuck..also a fashion idol...i collected many pleated skirts and dresses and mary janes over the years...

[gypsyola]

I was lucky to see them back then.30 seconds into the first tune my life had changed for good.

[pimpcardboardbox]

@linoleumbored I have many of the same things in my wardrobe. I never looked as cool as her though haha

[kallicokaz88]

When I watch shit like this, I can see why Kurt fell in love with her(or at least imagine that there was something special about this woman at one point in time)!!!

[tickedoffnow]

this was Courtney at her best

[pitb31st]

she looks out of her mind and i really like this a lot thank you to who ever uploaded this major props.

[Shanex36]

can somebody tell me what dicknail is ? :-S

[distillersdemon]

Haha I think we'd all like to know...

O_O

[Tatt07511]

@distillersdemon ITS ABOUT THE ALLEGED SIZE OF NINs TRENT REZNORS DICK SHE WROTE IT AFTER SHE DUMPED HIM WHATEVA SO NOW YA KNOW PEACE OUT XXXXXXXX  TAT'.

[xelaras]

@Tatt07511 lol bullshit.

[msnewsenior]

@Tatt07511 No it's not! She didnt get involved with trent until after Kurt died, that was in 94. This was released in 91, this song is obviously about rape and the excuse men use to validate it, she like it oh she was asking for it! NOT!!

[TheDianaJC]

@distillersdemon I think it is kind of a n insult like Jackass and douchebag...

And yay The Distillers <3

[AngelVomit26]

@distillersdemon Not neccessarily , it provides horrible pictures in ones mind. Other than that is sounds like Rape. I LOVE this song

[andrewdancing]

@distillersdemon It's obviously a song about getting raped. "She liked it/ You know she liked it/ Yeah, she was asking for it"

[joaoradical]

@distillersdemon I think its one of those things that if you know, you have to be killed O_o

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

@joaoradical It's a song about rape, primarily.

[joaoradical]

@xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx t'was a joke ;)

[joaoradical]

@xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx We were being UBER sarcastic :P At least I was xD

[zanymonk]

Use your imagination !

[pimenmerel]

@Shanex36 a nail on you're dick afcourse ;)

[TheDianaJC]

@Shanex36 I think it is kind of a n insult like Jackass and douchebag...

[bobbybobbinson]

@Shanex36 I think she's using it to describe sex in a way that brings a horrible image to the mind of men in the same way that this kind of sex (abuse, rape) brings a horrible image to the mind of women. I'm a guy and when I first heard the word "Dicknail" and for a long time, it would make me cringe

[insanityroyale]

@Shanex36 It's about Rape and the song is geared to show how women are generally said to have "wanted it" or "liked it" thereby making it "ok".

on Wikipedia it says the song "heavily alludes to themes of rape"

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

@Shanex36 It's a song about rape, ultimately.

[Adelaide267]

@Shanex36 I'm guessing a mans private area. I could be wrong but like I said I'm guessing

[Garouix]

@Shanex36 A penetration that left a nasty scar? : ) Which would fit the material, actually.

[immissworld94]

@Shanex36 it's just a creative insult.

i use it all of the time.

but, then i feel like a copy-cat.

eh, whatever, though.

it gets shit done.

[Hammered001]

@Shanex36 "Nailed" by a dick!

[BettiePie]

Raw... Love it ;)

[FlowerzInMyAttic]

this was an epic, chilling, and powerful performance. I mean do you hear her scream?! And look at her at 3:04-3:14! and especially 4:16-4:18. my jaw hit the floor when i first saw that. I LOVE HOLE!!

[pitb31st]

ive been a hole fan for a long fucking time and this by far is the scariest most creative things ive ever seen im so amazed right now.

[MASTERHATER999]

FUCKING EPIC DICKNAIL!!!!!!!

[mizzaugust09]

OMFG... she looks so crazed..like in an AMAZINGLY awesome fucking way! Her voice is so raw!! I love hole. This is the best performance i think ive ever seen of them, EVER!

[mimariejazz]

this woman can rock... I'd like to see her return soon with her music and band!

from a female artist who loves HOLE.

MM

[useoncendestroy]

fucking possessed...i have goosebumps

[xXxRav3rRawrBabyxXx]

I get goosebumps everytime I watch this, fuckin epic. So so epic.

<3

[HeyDork]

This is when this band was on top of their game,before the famous marriage,before the tabloids,before the clash of egos,etc.etc.

Courtney Love and Hole were a force of nature at one time.

[courtneylove4]

oh my god this performance is so incredibly powerful. you can totally tell this song is about rape. and the way she stops in the middle and says "this hurts me baby..more than it hurts you!!" is just..intense

[SpiraledSunrise]

oh fuck I LOVE DA WAY SHE SCREAMS DICKNAIL!!!!!!!!! RAHHH! AND SHE'S HIGH FOR ALL HER PERFORMANCES...JUST LIKE KURT!!!

[kurtney91]

i fucking love this version.... its the best... i fucking love hole

[thenscream]

i love the repeating in the back ground this is great

[tickedoffnow]

I luv Hole

[6LeSsIsMoRe7]

...great Hole era

[ruffintuffin]

was she high ?

[goochieguy]

do you have to ask?

[thenscream]

their later music is good pop music, but this is the shit

[sugarveins26]

I'm wondering what year this was recorded.....I LOVE THIS HOLE....But I still love Courtney

[bobbybobbinson]

It was recorded in 1990 or 1991

[MichaelWhiteE17]

This is Hole at their best

[tickedoffnow]

this was Hole at their best, definetely, my fave Hole era.

[KUCONI6794]

wow!!!

very good!!!!

[iwannabeanarchy]

FUCKING FUCKING FUCKING AMAZING

Hole could record new stuff like this. Nothing is impossible. NOTHING.

[sarahk66]

This is the Hole that I love and MISS!!!

[alotofcheese76]

if you look at this then listen to celebrity skin, you think:

"what happened?"

[NevermindKurt94]

I love that she looks so crazy.

I'm addicted to this song.

[CrazedPeeling]

i could watch/listen to this all day.

its heaven

[MissCrysti]

THIS is the Hole I will always love <3

[mymusiciswaybetter]

i liked Hole when they were more raw and agressive....like this

After 1998 they started turning all poppish and stuff

oh well...i still love Courtney

[crankyanker68]

This is a reminder that long ago Courtney Love was in incredibly intense performer. She was scary back in those days.

[dieterderblau]

man there's been some SERIOUS changes intheir sound... I do like this older more honest sounding stuff as much or more than the songs that drew me in - violet, doll parts, etc...

[blackxxhole]

Awesome song, thanks ^^

[fiercebadrabbit12]

thnaks for posting!!!!

[blowdry7]

how could she possibly have migrated from this to LIVE THROUGH THIS AND CELEBRITY SKIN?! what the fuck, this stuff was soo good.

[giannaluva65]

marilyn manson totally just coppied this style of music from her(the old hole) ...He did a bad job. I love her songs, but i hate her because she is a killer.

[whatthehell555]

Give me a fucking break, I don't like her, but only because she has an awful personality. She didn't kill anyone.

[lettersforjames]

When was this recorded?

[giannaluva65]

1990

[CzerwonaKrowa]

I love Hole!!! awesome son!! Courtney is cool!!

[xpaperhearts]

anyone know where i can listen to the non live version?

[nightcrawlsin]

Sending it :)

[MatthewPA1972]

Is that Jill Emery on bass?

[EMILYITOLDYOU]

yess.

[MatthewPA1972]

Thanks, Em.

[alvaroacc]

sure!!

[Suesuegrunge]

wow!awesome!this performance always gives me chills!!!

[TheKinkyShrink]

Erlandson looks much better blonde.

Great song.

[clfowens]

I wish the old hole was still playing as hard. This is awesome.

[iwantitnow408]

awesome song, i LOVE the crazy look in Courtney's eyes!

[minihats]

I don't like Hole all that much but can't stop listening to this.

[kurtney92]

yeaaaaaaaaah, this rocks!

[dawnofthewaldos]

this kind of songs rocks, the early days

[PrettyGarbageStar]

I looove this song. I like the music she made in this time better that the celebrity skin time.

[TheKinkyShrink]

I prefer the later stuff, but this is till good in its own right.

[skuruhai]

yea, celebrity skin era is total pop, dont really like it...but now she is trying to get the rock music and style again i think..

[gypsyola]

I saw THIS band supporting mudhoney at astoria in london in 1991.love( erm) at first sight..

[michaelxwhitetrash]

She Liked It, You Know She Liked,

The Bitch Was Asking For It!

[jaysonmanz]

hole was so cool in this video..i got "lost " in it while being high....wicked song

[JUKEYBOX]

this is so cool her music is great in the grunge days. i find lots of her songs actually memorizing.

[nirvana726]

fuck

[polly765]

I love Love

[catalinadee]

are you fucked?

[charber3]

This is one of my favorite Hole song ever!

[catalinadee]

are you kidding?

[aurora7lh]

You like that over produced crap she currently puts out?

[catalinadee]

No. I like Live Through This and some songs off Pretty On The Inside but I just don't think this is a very good song.

[distillersdemon]

Are you kidding?

Dicknail's a great song.

Well at least it is in my opinion.

:)

[catalinadee]

I Love The Distillers.

I actually find the song funny

(not like hahaha)

but oh well

thats cool if you like it

[bobbybobbinson]

The distillers aren't really that good though. They aren't bad but there's no way they could make something this awesome.

[kristroxmysox]

why are you compairing hole and the distillers. they arn't the same kind of music. yea hole is awesome but the distillers have their own kind of awesome.

[DEHxNINJAxFETUSxHIYA]

HELL YESH!!!!!! i love it!!

i also love The Phonebill Song and Turpentine.....but i cant find it anywhere on youtube.....=[

[aurora7lh]

Couldn't agree more.

[catalinadee]

are YOU fucked?
