[halibutpie]

She's 47 now, holy shit !

[Carli6980]

Sorry for my very superficial comment but I LOVE HER LIPS...I'd like to kiss 'em all day long ( great performance, incredible song)

[ryangothy1]

this is my favorite ive performance its so raw and emotional.

[MechanicalWood]

Hole in her best

[Lilleopea]

fuckin rox

[om3g4z3r0]

its SO good TO find "NEW" old STUFF buried ON internet ... THANKS uploader.

[nshame1]

@THYJOLY HER VOICE MAKES ME FEEL FREE!!!!!!!!!!

[PSYCKODARK]

I LIKE HER VOICER MAKES ME FEEL IN HEAVEN ! ♥

[82inkgirl]

the true queen of rock....she's the first to admit that her voice isn't the best in the business...but that's what makes her the best & her unique voice & her true rock style that has never changed...the queen!!!! Ther is nobody like her & there never will be...Fucking awesome!!!

[TribuneOfThePeople]

Anyone who denies Courtney her credit as a songwriter and frontwoman is an idiot.

[davidchamberlain4]

I loved Hole, Kurt (RIP) had fuck all to do with them

[gomapapel]

the drummer is so good, good beat!!!!

[mayaorton]

who's drumming.... its so EPIC

[AndyHurleysChicklet7]

i hate people who hate Courtney, YOU try getting over your true love killing himself, YOU try to get through drug addictions. and then MAYBE you can judge her. she's been through so much in her life but she is a strong woman today and Hole's new album is amazing! :)

[DustyAndPistolPete]

@AndyHurleysChicklet7 I love Hole and I like Courtney Love but she brings so much of it on herself.When Kurt died she publicly asked why it couldn't be asked why it couldn't be Eddie Vedder instead..Who the fuck in their right or wrong mind does that like?She wouldn't have half the abuse she gets if she wasn't always starting fights with Eddie,Billy and others.

[WarbladeX1]

kurt may have been a pain but he touched the hearts of many and it shows through holes songs and foo fighters as well just listen to the lyrics. and its nothing bad just you can tell how much he ment to all of them. regardless of what paparazzi says, they were all family and when the glue came undone, without kurt these people would have never been drug through the mud to produce this kind of music. sometimes you have to loose in order to gain. its not fair but the artist made great songs A.K.D

[rockangel7777]

One of the most powerful songs in Celebrity Skin

too bad she didn't play it much live

[heartstoash]

braless rocker grool

[skelapus]

this song rocks no matter who you are for different reasons!

[MacbethTilDeath]

If I can find 45 bucks, I'll hopefully be seeing her this Sunday.

Such a beautiful song.

[Shanex36]

@MacbethTilDeath u should !

[Yuppnot]

the ending sounds like she's begging for kurt back, like desperately wanting him again

[jhonen32629]

I love the ending to to this song

[celebrityskin]

Love the messy, curly hair. She looks amazing!!!

[devilxgirl07]

Do people think every song is a tribute to Kurt? Not saying this one isn''t but it seems people say that on tons of her songs.

[AsSeenOnCCTV]

@devilxgirl07 Not every song are of course, but some them - like this one and Northern Stars - contains obvious references. And I think becoming a widow would affect any artists output...

[britmusic17]

shes awesome !

[123ChrisGO]

she's playing brixton academy next month and i'm gonna be away, fuck!

[Shanex36]

love the lip gloss she has on her lips shes beautiful!!

[martinaloony]

Best female artist ever! Courtney rocks! I rock Courtney!

[JoelMonteiro]

This song rocks!

[jethromope1]

Way underrated band, ( except by Jools Holland !). ..and Melissa reminds me of Ivy Rohrsach...remember The Cramps ??!

[aliceladylike]

she's got this incredible, unique voice... and it's the first time I've seen her in plain top and pants! She's awesome in any way possible :)

[lmbsjdt]

i love the way Courtney behaves while playing on Her guitar and singing, even is Shes too high stimes. and Melissa ...Shes like a beautiful vampire woman- dark sexy Woman. but love the (w)hole Band (sorry for the bad joke:-) i want Hole back...and want them to come here to Hungary.

[lmbsjdt]

@lmbsjdt

[thegoochieguy]

i am glad they filmed such a powerful version of this song.

[2837sharding]

[georgeannpolishgirl]

[oklapi]

[catinhas77]

Courtney has got an especially voise, which can express feelings sooo good. for me the best female singer.

[acnaibianca]

melissa is doing so good there. and courtney.. she's just perfect.

[lenief]

soo fun to play on bass along with her. ..

[bloodpollution]

The drum intro really kicks some serious ass. Nice !!

10 good reasons to stay alive.. 10 good reasons that i cant find

[pj9228]

love this song so much... she's a great lyricist n vocalist :p

[BitternessBarbie94]

Yay. This performance was awesome.

[louisorleans]

Drum intro=Ride - Dreams Burn Down.

Still great though.

[draven69143]

id still do courtney.lol. ive always wanted her. an what a VOICE.

[OrthodoxAtheist]

carlreeves... nothing to do with getting old, mate. I'm 30+ now and I'm still coming back to this and other Hole songs coz they truly were fantastic, and she was my generation's janice joplin, but with 10x more talent, IMO. Now? she's nothing, but those two albums, man... damn. :)

[Notus]

Three albums... All three were gems.

[FatahMorgana]

she will return soon with amazing songs, know it.

[whatthehell555]

DON'T YOU DARE INSULT JANIS JOPLIN LIKE THAT!

I like Hole's music, but NO WAY is Courtney x10 more talented than Janis Joplin. That's insane.

[moonlily1]

agreed. CL not that good of a singer, just makes the best of her limitations. JJ could fuckin SING like nobody's business. but credit where it's due, courtney's twice as fucked up as joplin was but survived anyhow.

[whatthehell555]

I agree with you there. Courtney has had one fucked up life.

[guilhermecarneiro1]

its the same of comparing morrison and kurt. It's silly

[borrowedimagination]

love her or hate her, that was a powerhouse performance. GO COURTNEY GO! =) xxx

[VikkiFReagan]

I fucking love the old Courtney Love, such a great musician, shes way to much of a hollywood celeb now, but her band and their songs were fucking great, I want her to go on a huge USA tour, I would Love to see Hole live...

[hotcarlreeves]

used to fucking LOVE her. now im iffy...guess im gettin more mature or something....shes just so much cooler when your an adderall snortin', pot smoker, blue-black haired little 14 year old punker....but ya still have respect for her as a musician...all you little "she killed kurt lyke omfg!!!!111" people can go get fucked...

[whatthehell555]

Yeah, Courtney is a bitch. Have to admit.

[Cecycobain]

~ mermão, essa mulher é FODA demais ! <3

[Dianesaurr]

god i love this song

[kurtney91]

beautigul performance

[softbatch1]

Wow! This song is really easy to play and sing at the same time. I totally just learned it right now. Thank you Courtney. I love this song and Love / Hate you.

[jaquessss]

LOL I love/hate her too!

[ssmarchand]

i love this song.

[AK2927]

Well, is it 1998 or 1999?

[NevermindKurt94]

10/23/98

[djterry123]

does anyone know how can i find the studio version of this song??

[livethroughthis22]

it's on the album celebrity skin.

[ArieneRS]

amazing poetry

[leapingleeper]

She just looks so fucking cool when she's on stage rockin' out! She's so gorgeous and talented.

[xMaDmx]

omg... Melissa Auf Der Maur, i just love her so much!...

[Kate669803]

Wow,, just found this theyve always been a favorite of mine. The lyrics are devastating. I wish she got a better press can you believe her critics say Billy Corgan wrote all this stuff? Give her a break for Christs sake and give her what shes owed: some respect for being a breathtaking talent

[MJsPYT1362]

ARGHHH I LOVE COURTNEY SO MUCHHH

[nataliee9]

I love Hole

[glacierkid]

fuck. that was awesome

[thomaszabbott]

I do not think I've ever heard such utter shit, done so badly.

[kurtcourtney67]

don't watch the videos if you don't like them.

and don't make such comments.

[madeyes4u]

Who is that on drums? DAMN they're good! That has to be Patti Schemel.....does anybody know if that's her or not?

Oh yeah, whoever said that this is playback, YOU ARE SO WRONG. Hole never syncs. Never ever ever.

[Dukky]

no, that's Samantha Maloney. Patti left before Celebrity Skin was finished recording.

[Meyeryakov]

Hard song to listen to because it's a heavy tribute.

I love it. Beautiful song!

[Imogence]

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH

I love her.

Her hand movements.

Her hair.

Her Voice.

Her pressence.

Her Soul.

[madeyes4u]

stalker much????

[SeveralBirds]

If I could one day be half as effortlessly cool as Courtney Love, I'd be satisfied.

[chrisbunny15]

common is just be cool ! :P

[madeyes4u]

Is that Patti Schemel on drums? I can't tell...

[NevermindKurt94]

No it's not.

It's Samantha Maloney.

[seevickyrun]

Kurt's tribute!

He wrote in his last letter: It's better to burn than fade away. And Courtney say "it's better to rise than fade away."

So as you can hear it's her words to him.

Makes this song more special than all others. She did truly LOVE him. No one can ever question that!

[paramoretony]

@seevickyrun that is soo true!! shee did lovee kurt <3

[Brenf66]

@seevickyrun Kurt got that quote from the Neil Young song, Out of the Black into the Blue

[platypae333]

@Brenf66 My My, Hey Hey... or Hey Hey, My My. You decide.

[WwoEvarr]

it's just the sound that goes slower than the video...

Not playback.

[yaxowx]

I fucking love this song. Courtney is so raw and talented.

[dazzfuck]

she,s wonderfull

[kaarinkku]

One of their greatest songs! Well-performed live. Best album of Hole

[sansorio]

Except it's playback'd. Don't get me wrong, I love Hole, but this is playback.

[carrrol9]

it isnt!! the record sounds other..

[mybandreverb]

Not all playbacks are the original. ;)

[mybandreverb]

It looks like playback but it's just not sync.

[ExXxB]

no it's not

you can tell during the part where she sings "&& it rains && rains"

in da studio version she holds the last "rains" much longer.

[matrix1]

if you like this check out "screaming blue murder" there drummers an awesome guy

[carrrol9]

fuck....this is great.wheres the music today?

[boddahgirl]

its better to rise than fade away

[NevermindKurt94]

Awesome song

The ending is so beautiful and sad.

[superpigy]

(L) she looks hot

[assystar]

Love the song.

[revoloutiongrrlstyle]

i cant tell, hello kitty guitar?

[suicideocean86]

If you people hate Courtney and hole why are you watching this video? She's talented get over it!

[Mradracracuesto]

Don't care for what people think...you could have posted a better comment

[lenief]

one of their best. so fun to play along with. it's got that flow, you know.

[grunger1234]

totally

hahah i love this song

[jhnasugarfuck]

I love this

[gearsofmom]

WHATS a plate???

[rofflexmayoxtid]

i think americans call them.. retainers? lol.

[Mradracracuesto]

what are "retainers"?

[SmileCrocodile07]

im in love with courtney

[batonga85]

This track rocks, one of the better cuts from Celebrity skin.

[PrettyGarbageStar]

Such a beautifull lyric! ^__^ But pff people why does eveybody gets so mad about het attitude? I actually like her attitude, LOTS. I wish i was like her actually

[droogzombie]

random observation: is she wearing a plate? not being shallow, i care about the music and all, i was jst surprised cos this is the 3rd time ive watched this vid and i never noticed it before.

[revoloutiongrrlstyle]

a plate?

[Mradracracuesto]

?????????

[revoloutiongrrlstyle]

i think you might see her tambourine(spelling?) cause she just kinda whipped that out of nowhere

[opie1324]

the first 3:08 of this video makes me fill up. very sexy, they all know that song rocks

[caitlinblacktopp]

i can also play this and sing this.. watch out courtney lolz na im not as kwl as her

[boddahgirl]

oh my gosh samantha´s great drumer...i loooveee it

[kittycora]

oh wow! gotta love this song!!!

[20YearsInTheDakota]

I love this song, this is one of my favorite Hole songs. I love all their songs though.

[Drownspirit]

Whoa. This performance is electric and so alive. That's the greatest Hole performance I've ever seen.

Thanks for posting (:

[CastleofArghhh]

Thanks for posting this i love this song!!

[CastleofArghhh]

The line was from the Neil Young song Hey Hey My My (That what i head/read)

[BitchGirlStar]

This album is SO Billy Corgan. Maybe that's the reason why sounds pretty good...

[jflpretense]

Billy had no writing credits on that song.

[northernxstar]

Ugh, why can't people just accept that Courtney is an extremely talented individual, who needs no man to write her lyrics or songs. She may have influences, but even on Pretty On The Inside it was amazing.

Not just KC and BC!

[sliversophie]

very nice! good song writer! good singer!

[distilla2000]

this is such a great song

[Nirvanaism]

It sounds like the studio version. Vocals and all. Which is pretty rare.

[sedmikraskablack]

I love Love :)

[droogzombie]

I love it how she FEELS every performance. It gives it meaning.

[prairiebelt]

her voice sounds really good here.

[katiapirolo]

amo esta musica e acho q ela representa muito na minha vida pois realmente procuro 10 razões

[cjohnson2492]

intro reminds me of "Garbadge Man"

I don't like it

[kurom94]

'it's better to rise than fade away' hmm does that ring any bell?

btw,does anyone know what she says after'it rains and rains'?

[opium07]

hey honey mine

I was there all the time

and I weep at your feet

and it rains and rains

^_^

[droogzombie]

from kurts' suicide note? "remember, it's better to burn out than fade away". She thought this was bullshit. Maybe she wrote that lyric in correction to his statement. That he should of risen above the problems he had instead of killing himself..?

[htownlithium]

Kurt got thst line from somewhere else..it was not his...but this song i think, is abt him

[northernxstar]

Yes, I believe that's what she was trying to make with that point. And especially the 'when the fire goes out you better learn to fake'.

Htownlithium: It's from the Neil Young song 'Hey, Hey, My, My'.

[oscu]

Love this song it makes me Cry:'D

[dresdenzombies]

In the close ups, she looks a bit like Jo Whiley from Radio 1... creepy!!

[NecroticCadaver]

how can she NOT cry when she sings this song?! she makes me cry each and everytime i hear it. :*( !!!

[benito1000]

KURT IS GOD!

[prettyontheinside]

I guess you are just trying to piss of the fans who actually watch these videos for the music, since you have left a comment on virtually every Hole video proclaiming Kurt to be your savior. Yes, we know he's a legend and a great musician but don't you think this comment would fit better on a video ABOUT KURT COBAIN.

[2kl2klps]

I love this song, I just love it and she is a woman with huge balls of steel!~

[ickris]

This is amazing! and I wouldn't trade it for all of your lives... This woman is a gem! gods bless her..

Clove deserves much happiness

[reh629]

this song reminds me of my college years during my insecure times. great fucking song and performance.

[JUKEYBOX]

shes skinny again..she looks pretty in this vid.

[clairebear8]

I really cant believe that Courtney Love is so vilified!! People really should separate music from the publicity and stuff that surrounds "celebrities". She's just a woman in a band. This is a song and a video so y not comment on that?!

[reh629]

she is very talented. but she has also wasted all that talent on getting high.

[2kl2klps]

So did everybody, from Charlie Parker to Amy Winehouse...It comes with the territory, unless you want to be Perry Como.

[leah1234555]

Nah she's lost alot of weight. She's awesome!

[AmericanFish]

I have to admit she's entertaining and she speaks her mind but sometimes she is a total idiot. I hate her and love her at the same time...

[AmericanFish]

I don't like her because she isn't talented at all and she slags other artists off simply because they're better than her or they don't want to be her boyfriend. She's a stalker!!!

[Trippedwired]

I wish I could be as sedated as Courtney Love...

[opium07]

she mixed some lyrics lol it's still great though!

[lilbeav410]

I know Courtney has like, major problems, and is basically probably a fuck-up as a person in general, but I can't help but love her for her talent. Her music has a way of speaking to my heart, what can I say...

[barzero]

What really fucked her life was the massive drugs. You can see on this video how drug-crazy she was. That's really said and for that, yes, she is an idiot. But I guess and hope she is trying hard to make things right now.

[PJayyy]

And this is from 1998-she def wasn't on drugs back then.

[barzero]

I totaly agree with Perisphone. Courtney Love is a brilliant woman, but people can't see that, mainly those ones that insist to maintain associations between her and Kurt Cobain. Kurt Cobain died 13 years ago and Courtney stills on top even with her bad acts. After Kurt's death she made an outstanding album with Hole (Celebrity Skin) which this song is a part of, she made great movies and also is considered a great actress. She's promissing make a truly comeback this year with a new album.

[PJayyy]

It has nothing to do with anyone she was married to. She really is an idiot-like I wrote before.

[AmericanFish]

She's fat now! ha ha ha Great comeback!

[barzero]

She's not fat, believe me.

[AmericanFish]

I saw some pics in a mag recently and she was huge!

[barzero]

Well, I saw one last week after her 2 months in weight loss. No record label wants a fat singer even if the singer is Janet Jackson.

[perisphone]

Too bad it is going to take years before people realize how brilliant this woman is. True rock and roll bad ass.
