courtney love "hold onto me" letterman performance

[luisromero63]

GOOD...

[holefan69]

I dont know what the fuck any of you are talking about!! She looks/sounds great here!! She doesnt seem to be fucked up or off key etc...I have seen CL and Hole live several times, and she always comes through and puts on a hell of a show!!

[SammyKitty92]

Having that many guitars on stage is not visually pleasing to me. I find this hard to watch for that reason, and because she was really high....

[ITSFAMOUSRICHARD]

omg i feel so honored to have met courtney love!! check out the video of my courtney experience!! on my channel!

[cuddlebuttons]

one of the only times i hate violin --and i play violin, the violin had no place in this song. esp not THAT one. but i love this song. we've all had performances we'd rather forget. it's still a great fucking song.

[Grendizer81]

who's courtney love??? emilie autumn is the real deal

[Joe4mBrownsvilleTx]

FYI for those of you who are unaware, she was using and stated she was a mess during this time-3/17/04 right b4 the 10yr anniver. of Kurt's death..as a fan of her/holes for yrs her pattern in 2004 seemed like a replica of 1994, drugs, tours, lawsuits, the painful but "u love to watch" performances...she was out of it in 04 as she was in 94..not to mention the theories thrown at her in both yrs but now in book, tv & inet..not just during her shows. Hopefully she will be vindicated of that crap..

[nikoletakyprianidis]

she does definitively not have to be ashamed for anything. i find this performance amazing.

[blackkat77]

shes totally high but she is still on key and sounds great. I just feel bad for her, as I consider drug addiction a mental illness. hell courtney probably has an mental illness that shes treating herself with illegal drug, who knows

[AngelVomit26]

@blackkat77 Been there, done that, and I agree with you

[SammyKitty92]

@blackkat77 I always thought it was interesting that musicians from like the 60s - 90s could always perform perfectly even when they were really high, but now when a musician is performing high they don't do so well.

[kurtney91]

Love Court!!!

love this song!

[TruthAvenger100]

Steve Coogan - Immensely talented comic genius Courtenay Love booze-addled, talentless drug whore, good for a fuck, that's about it.

[brightpinkstatic]

Wasted and, a mess, she still looks pretty damn great in those last shots of the performance :D

[AngelVomit26]

They probably had to shorten it for the show......That' s why they cut it, no?

[thenscream]

it sounds like she started the bridge in the middle of the chorus... shes def messed up here, too bad, this is a great song but this performance is horrible

[jeydonfan75]

pppsssscchh!!!!courtney love is NOTHING compared to there violinist emilie autumn!!!

[xtinydoll]

how can you compare the two? there are like, completely different in their musical tastes and styles. That's like trying to compare the beatles with bach. Both are awesome.

[jeydonfan75]

yeah they are different...buti think emilie autuumns style of music is ALOT better than cournteys

[oklapi]

(*their) and yeah, Hot Topic rules

[queenofkool]

the add on lyrics make it complete.

[nocturn5]

you gotta love courtney

[DustLightShine]

I was so high when I saw this I thought she was acting completely normal. LOVE THIS PERFORMANCE (if you pay close attention she accidentally bumps Lisa and Lisa starts laughing) I asked her about this when I saw The Chelsea and C.Love play Ventura in October of 2004

[tddybear627]

ehh...i didn't really like it but yay for Emilie Autumn performing. i love her.

[spacemutt]

That was horrible. I guess becoming a big crackhead and breaking up Hole to start the Whorish Playboy Reject Band wasn't such a great idea afterall.

[nothingUneed2no]

but she is there and you are where ? let me guess.. sitting on your ass behind a computer screen. i could be wrong though, you could be a star..

[rachelrox90s]

courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney courtney !!!!!!!!!!!!i love u!!!!!!!!

[tomasgola]

Courtney you look absolutely georgeous ...

[bwilde101]

courtney love is amazing but ... this performance makes me sad to watch =( courtney is sooooo much better! atleast her new work and performances are AMAZING !!!

[drummr213]

this is painful to watch..and ive been a fan for years

[jebajka26]

she is so sexi and talented!

[ihatetomcruise]

is this 94 whe shes still cashing in on kurts death, die bitch die.

[kuzimoto1973]

she's like a Bob Dilan!!!!!

[jun7per]

no way!

[Kisshu0092]

I love this song! but unfortunatly, this version isn't good at all.. the one on her CD Americas Sweetheart is really mutch better..

so is the Princess Ai version.

sossy to say

[tsualcyone]

Do you know where the Princess Ai version is for download/buy/for listen? I want to hear it soo bad. D:

[Kisshu0092]

I'm sorry to tell ya that I couldn't find some proper links for download on the princess ai version.. but I can give you some info on it:D

DJ Milky is the one who has made the Princess Ai version, I can't remember who's singing in it, but I know that it was Courtney Love was the one writing the lyrics. I think the Princess Ai version is from 2004?

Good luck with finding it :D :D

Maybe you can find it on iTunes or something?

[peachfreak17]

this chick is awesome!

ROCK ON!!

[hotcarlreeves]

ah, i love courtney love

[CrazedPeeling]

i love this song, and i adore courtney in Hole & all she has gone through.

but this makes me sad, how wasted she is.

hopefullly all is well now with her (even though she looks completely different)

it seems kurts death will never stop haunting her. its devestating.

[SlowDance17]

Yay! Emilie Autumn is performing with her. This is a wonderful performance.

[starrbelly]

Um sorry to tell you but this isn't hole preforming.. nor is it a Hole song. This is from "America's Sweetheart" Courtney's SOLO record.

[starrbelly]

Um sorry to tell you but this isn't hole preforming.. nor is it a Hole song. This is from "America's Sweetheart" Courtney's SOLO record.

[OmegaX2000]

Where's the Princess Ai version of this song?

[OmegaX2000]

Where's the Princess Ai version of this song?

[hotcarlreeves]

not hole retard

[alex370]

this performance made me love this song.

[kdcobain6794]

SLUT

[artista67]

sounds cool but different live.....

[leiefilm]

probable cause she's not high...second thought maybe she is

[xsweetsugarcomax]

courtney love is the most amazing woman in this planet. and i meant it.

[XxNothingInTheWayxX]

This is about Kurt...don't you think?

Idk.

<3 lovelovelove.

[cobaltwill215]

I love Courtney Love, I think I would cry if I would see her in real life.

[Iferitus]

Heard this On Little Steven's underground garage i love it...Courtney Love is awsome i dont care what anyone says

[Wolf5Vlud]

Slut

[kristnovoselicrules]

Don't get me wrong, i'm a massive Courtney Love / Hole fan,

but this always makes me sad.

She just seems so drugged up, and when i watched the interview she seems so lost :/

she's said that she hated the americas sweetheart period anyway.

I'm glad she's better now (health-wise).

Wasn't long after this that she tried to kill herself, remember :/

But now she's got better, and she's working on an album that is going to be better than anything we've ever heard from her

she says so herself.

[hukaloh]

this is the real rock n grunge woman! of course,she's kurt's woman!! that's the way! yeah!

[worldonfire22]

love how she just chucked her guitar...

[nightbeauty02]

emilie autumn is on violin, awesome! <3!

[worldonfire22]

totally. Gives the song a new sound...very beautiful.

[danblink]

man, i totally respect courtney.

woman with great strength and will power man.

[Kahden]

studio version is really nice

[nightbeauty02]

i love this version, it's so raw and you can really tell she's putting all her heart into it. <3!

[Kisshu0092]

I think that the studio version is better.. This just sound plain bad after my opinion.. :/ If I didn't know that she can sing, I swear, I'd think that she was a amature, and she's DEFFENTLY not!

I love the studio version.. but this sucks.. ;____;

[yermomlovesme]

love her or hate her she's rock and roll. maybe you're all too young but that's what rockstars do- they get drunk do drugs and fall off stage. you give her shit but kurt loved her so what does that make him?

[XSarabX]

Well said!

[wheZZ1]

you are right, these young cats can't understand. Nowadays, rock stars start clothing lines and do ads for cell phones. Fuckin shame...

[Ravendb]

too true

[knucklegrrl]

WHAT THE FUCK...........this song totally fuckin sucks ass !!!!!!!! why the fuck are so many guitarist in her band ? oh, yeah i remember now because not even she could play a guitar or write a single note by her self. STUPID ROCKSTARS

[ruddegore]

theres a rythm guitarist, lead guitar and bass, thats pretty standard she had one at the start of the song but she got rid of it

[heynimrod888]

What a beautiful song...haha, even though she was fucked up in this, I think she did a damn good job!

[clemep]

this song is about kurt, all you people who think she doesn't care...10 years after his death, she's still writing about him...just because she's tough and doesn't wear her sorrow on her sleeve, and weep and cry and moan, you think she killed him? WTF?

[gioelio]

They are terrible!Someone shoot them in the head! Killer bitch!!!

[clemep]

she rocks! no one can deny that...

[xRoxyEss]

this lyrics...<3

[dizzylizzy234]

i think...shes an entertainer...and your all talking about her enough to be interested right?...so shes entertaining you? she does her job pretty well

[snabygirl]

I think it's time to retire...no more please.

[DYKEPALS]

this is fucking awful

[Loki54]

Audio quality could be better

[Drownspirit]

Whoa. It's a really taletned performance.

She looks at ease and at peace.

[kittiem420]

don't you people understand...she has had the chance to get clean and sober (100%), she has had the chance to do a lot of things for her daughter that she doesn't...she isn't fragile, people lose loved ones everyday and most of them don't handle it half as well as she did. she made sure to get more famous from kurts death, she hardly mourned at all

[DeeLisaBumblebee]

this isn´t hole it´s just courtney love and her band

[JUKEYBOX]

she has been hurt too much! she doesnt need anymore pain in her life damnit! i wish i could get those anticourtney people to STFU!

[jorgecolio]

she went's throug alot shit. and she needs alots of help and drug reabilitation. hopefully she do it for her own dauther

[splork00]

I'm sick of u ignorant people shes been clean for quite some time now. Shes gotten help and shes sober so all these drug comments are retarded. If you knew anything about her you would know this. Why dont you watch the interveiw from when she was promoting Dirty Blonde she talks all about it.

[slimslum]

She said in the interview right before this performance she took perscription medication and an ambein. shes on drugs AND drunk so...

[mellobbello]

she's fragile and needs love and help

[XanaRocker]

Oh my god! whats this???

[isapoisongirl]

Emilie Autumn's the best.

[yaoi4evandnevayuri]

man... dj milky's version her sound sooo much better than this...

[ash000515]

is she singing her own lyrics wrong? hehe she throws the guitar and it almost hit the chick on the left. the track sounds great but i dont like this performance i think those other girls kinda ruin it or something...

[mymagicmirror]

hAha it looks like she's cloned herself several times to make the rest of her band.

[keyransolo]

Courtney looks drunk...

[AlexCorpRedux]

She was trashed @ this appearence

[pockisoxs]

But if you're gonna judge her, do it on her music, not her personal life.

[pockisoxs]

Courtney Love is awesome.

[taylorlyn92]

the only thing courtney is good at is killing people for their money and making it look like suicide.

[opium07]

America's Sweetheart to be honest is not so good... i liked 5 tracks and that's just it... but those tracks are so awesome though!

the album's a little bit underrated!

[JUKEYBOX]

me too. there were a few good punk rock tracks in it!

[BillyArtillery]

that whole cd is good

mono is excellent, julian is catchy as hell

[actionjackson666]

junkie whore

[EmoDannyM]

yep, but kert fucking rocks

[riotamelie]

fa cacare qui.. è pessima.. court ripigliatiiii!!!!

[fender21gibson]

courtney is great I love her!!!!!

america's sweetheart is a damn good record.

[Kiishi]

Courtney Love and Emilie Autumn, two of my very favorite idols. Too bad they didn't pay any attention to Emilie, she was amazing. :D

[ANApoland]

i don't like the performance... i think she has really strong voice and she didn't show it here.

[SteamboatDannie]

From 2:58-3:34 this is perfect. America's Sweetheart is one of the greatest albums ever. Yeah, Sunset Strip is an AWESOME song. They all are on that album!

[JoseCosta7]

I love so much this song... and the performance was great... really Courtney love style =)

This song... everytime I heart in gives me chills!! Love it!!

[ebolamayinga]

Well this isn't hole...but haha wow, Courtney's high as hell ;-; Butchering her own song. I love the song though!

[gpgarrettboast]

Her voice is horrible? I'm sorry, but if you think that, you haven't heard it. Go pick up her America's Sweetheart album. This song is powerful, and should give anyone with emotion chills.

[radcliffiana]

>.< Courtney Love's voice is sooooo Horrible >.<

:D But Emilie Autumn is very talented *-*

for that reason I see that video several times

[evilwatchme]

certain people are fucking stupid, they should grow a vagina and live like that for a while, see how they feel about things then.

[cabaretbride]

I love this Courtney, this song, just everything she does. Thank you for posting it.

[youdontloveme555]

I completely agree.

[00caroline00]

That´s really bad, :P

And this isn´t hole

[siameseXdreamer]

how many are playing there for that fucking song?

i never liked more than 4 or 5 song off that solo album.

[sqaushy]

me again,run out of space,hole did some good stuff but how many girls were in the lineup?their best stuff was with that bloke from smashing pumpkins,another man btw.its just a fact that men rock and women don't,well very often!lol,i love women its just that men and women are better at differnt things and men rock harder and longer,its a fact get over it!

[brunalove]

Do you really think that?

oh, well...

I'm really sorry for you...

[sqaushy]

i don't need your sympathy thank you very much.

[MicahX20]

Are you...sexist by any chance??

[sqaushy]

how can i be sexist when all i'm doing is stating facts,are you homophobic?

[sqaushy]

women can not rock,period!get it?name one all girl band that can?yeah i thought so.

[HerrWagen]

Hi there. Not only do I feel the need to say your comment is the most ridiculous crap I´ve read in a long time, I´d also like you to check out sleater-kinney, or if you´re in for the rude stuff, kittie. Not rockin´? Get lost.

[sqaushy]

who?i rest my case.kittie,don't make me laugh,how come 50% of the planet are girls,so where are all these rocking chicks?guitars are not for little girly hands and girl drummers hohohoho.

[HerrWagen]

How come I get the feeling Borat is having a little cameo appearance here? Don´t get me wrong, I´m not pulling you into discussions or anything, but maybe you should google "sleater-kinney", "riot girl", "L7", just as some of numerous examples. Or, if spandex and bad hair are defining ingrediences for your understanding of rock music, check out late 80s "Poison"- not really girls, but pretty close... Just kidding. About the 50%-thing you brought up,... oh well, just go back to Krakhozia.

[davejago]

pete doherty's mum?

[sanfer]

great video, and song too, thanks for posting. somebody else have another live performance from the solo album AMERICA'S SWEETHEART? i think is the best album...

[lifesux6969]

if you research on YOUTUBE for FUJI FESTIVAL 2004 you'll find Mono, But Julian, Malibu (although it's not from AS) and All the Drugs.
