*quickly adding Courtney Love to dead pool list*

5 ...rambling for a minute about how she was late because she had just been hanging out with a senator friend Al Gore.

6 You laid out 45 clams to watch 3 hours of Courtney Comatose and hole? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ah ha (catches breath) ha ha ha ha ha ha ha (chokes) (gasp) ha ha ha ha ha etc.....

7 Dude.  Courtney Love.  What were you expecting?

8 Courtney has gone from incoherent, no-talent hack rock star to incoherent, no-talent hack nobody in just a few short years.  Who could have predicted the decline?

9

Anyway, read the whole article. It really captures the trainwreck in all its derailed and dismembered glory.

And just how would I do that?

10 Please give me some chakra link love.

11 Where was this?  Which Senator could this be?

12 I'll just sit in the corner and play with my chakra till we get a link to the full article.

15 All I got when I saw her in '94 was 10 minutes of growling and then got sprayed with a water hose.

16 Frankly (and Shirley), the rock concert concept died some time around 1990; about the time they tore down the Palladium in NYC, and put up a parking lot  NYU dorm.

17 Jack, the next time you have the urge to piss away fifty bucks, remember that I take PayPal.

18 Hey!  Let's legalize drugs!

16 All I got when I saw her in '94 was 10 minutes of growling and then got sprayed with a water hose.

That sounds more like a dog fight, but I suppose with Courtney it might be hard to tell.

20 Betcha there's a lot of skank in that Hole.

21 Hell, for that kind of money you could have bought 3-4 boxes of Russkie made .45 ACP.

22 Courtney Love? Yeah, her too...

23 It's got to have been better than 3 hrs of boredom (ie a Bruce Springsteen concert).  At least Courtney Love is marginally better looking.

24 Wow, those photos of her in the WaPo review are rough.  Her skin looks awful.  Yay drugs.  Sigh.

25

Did she leave her clothes on?

Huh - she's slipping a little then.

26

 pay your $45 hoping for the Courtney Love Experience

Really?   really??

 

27 Funny, I did an FEC search on her name and her real name and neither of them turned up anything. 

28 I prefer real train wrecks, if you don't mind - you know, smoke, explosions, terror stricken screams... that sort of thing.  And while this concert may have had all of those, I prefer to do something a little more constructive, like spending my way out of this current recession.

29 21 Betcha there's a lot of skank stank in that Hole.

FIFY.

30

The last show I saw at the 9:30 was Lords of Acid in 2000. Damn, I've been out of the DC area a lot the last decade.

 

31 Yay drugs.  Sigh.

Yay!  Wait, was that supposed to be sarcastic.

We don't recognize sarcasm.  Or humor of any kind for that matter.

32

"the rock concert concept died some time around 1990"

Yeah, nobody starts riots anymore.  If the set is shitty, you're supposed to at least throw a bouncer through a tour bus window.

33 Jeez. Her songs are mostly the same 3 chords.... And she forgot them?

34 Courtney, let me tell you something. In just the past year and a half, I've been to about 400 shows. I've seen some really terrible ones. And this was really the most terrible. No question.

Mission accomplished!!

.

35

Best show evah...Slayer, Wasp, Exodus. Capitol Theater, Passaic, NJ just before it closed down circa 1989.

 

 

 

36

 Are Lords of Acid anything like Zodiac Mindwarp and the Love Reaction?

37 Betcha there's a lot of skank in that Hole. You have no idea.

38 No, I was not the person referenced in the article who allegedly was "waiting to have sex with Love after the show."


The mere thought of sex with Courtney Love makes it burn when I pee.....from 3000 miles away.

39 25 Wow, those photos of her in the WaPo review are rough.  Her skin looks awful.  Yay drugs.  Sigh.

Posted by: Jane D'oh at June 29, 2010 01:45 PM (UOM4

Her face looks like it never met a case of acne it didn't like...

40

"The last show I saw at the 9:30 was Lords of Acid in 2000"

Saw them in '95 in Philly.  Don't remember a damn thing.

41

If people are spending $45 for such nonsense, is the economy the better for it or worse? Some would argue that band members, sound and light technicians and bouncers all benefit economically, as do the people who undoubtedly need to clean up afterwards.

Call it The Hole Fallacy.

42 Sure, Courtney has no talent, but she has good heroin connections.

43 It really captures the trainwreck in all its derailed and dismembered glory.


Reminds me of a Shane Vendrell quote from The Shield

"like watching a train wreck in slow motion.....except it's more horrific"

44 The mere thought of sex with Courtney Love makes it burn when I pee.....from 3000 miles away.

thanks for the coffee all over my monitor...

45 Jack M, you are a far, far better man than I.

46 A popular DC hipster blog, Brightest Young Things, gave the performance a POSITIVE review.  Hilarity abounds in the comments. 

47 Wait a minute. From Suzanne Sena to Courtney Love?

Oh how the mighty have fallen.

48 I hope the guy (or whatever it was) hanging around after the show to have sex with her was wearing a Hazmat full body condom. You never know when all those needle holes will start erupting...

49 Courtney Love Experience I have this entry right after 'Cleveland Steamer' and just before 'Dirty Sanchez'

50 Courtney Love?  I can find a whole lot of ways to waste $45 bucks than throwing it down the abyss known as "Hole".

IIRC, Gore once told Love that he was a huge fan of hers but didn't know any of her songs when she pressed him on it.

51 Damn. She makes five miles of bad road look hittable.

52

thanks for the coffee all over my monitor...

and the grits all over mine.

53 IIRC, Gore once told Love that he was a huge fan of hers but didn't know any of her songs when she pressed him on it.

I was hoping she'd press my Chakra, honestly.

At least now we have something in common.

54

Chaos, destruction and despair......my work here is done.

55 Yep, "free" drugs for everyone.  That way our whole society can be just like "Hole".

Really, I'm surprised anyone is buying a ticket to see Love anywhere.  Might be more entertaining just to take that cash and light it up.

56

You know what?  I'll just let my own chakras out...thanks..

57 Was watching the Courtney Love VHS behind the music episode the other day and two thoughts occured to me... do they usually need 2 hours to tell someone's story and damn, this would be a better dead pool pick than 89 year old former heavy smoker Mike Wallace.

58

OT -

John Stewart to Axelrod, "Do you believe that government is competent enough..."

Axelrod, "Dude! Hell, I'm not competent enough to even answer that question! heh... heh... eh."

59 Is it any wonder why I shot myself?

60 I was there. Conservatively speaking, it was wonderful.

61 Cobain chose Love over all of the other groupies? That's just wrong. There are some amazingly hot chicks at even the worst concerts. Of course his death probably helped rock & roll in the long run. Damn, Nirvana sucked.

62 Hahaha, recording the concert on an iPhone. That just oozes professionalism.

63

that's not the only thing oozing.

64

Anyone notice how totally inappropriately her 'assistant' Lisa was dressed?  The sweet girl-who-lives-next-door dress and shoes don't go with the body tats and the whole ambiance of the stage.

 

65

A friend roadied for Hole back in the 90's, and said she's as much a train wreck in person as you would guess.

Actually, my old band played with 'em a couple times (ATL & LA), and I can attest the same, judging from the pissy soundchecks I had to sit through.

66 Ha! i just read that review a little while ago. I'm just amazed Courtney is actually able to go out and do anything other than stumble around and fall on her face.

67

Whenever I see a picture of the septic tank named Courtney Love I figure that's what KayInMaine is like to be around on her most coherent and hygenic day.

68

rambling for a minute about how she was late because she had just been hanging out with a senator friend.

I'm betting Robert Byrd.

Senate, House of Representatives.....same difference.

71 huerfano@9,

That right there's funny, I don't care who you are.

72 People still go to concerts? 

Who the fuck is Cortney Love?  Country Western Ho? or Black Hole.

Oh did I mention, WHO GIVES A SHIT?

I was getting "laid".

73

"I was there. Conservatively speaking, it was wonderful."

I, too, was there...er...completely by coincidence...and I concur.  While the fairweather Hole fan might mistakenly conclude that there were forgotten or missed chords, only the true afficionado could have processed, and appreciated, the polytonal ambrosia Miss Love lovingly fed her most loyal fans.  Spoonful by hot, piping spoonful, the three hours lazed about your aural pallate, leaving me deeply satiated.

74 Hah!  I'm betting Chris Dodd.

 

I'm betting Robert Byrd.

Maria Cantwell and her TV hairhead man were both on Courtney's dance card that night.

Kurt's death wasn't suicide. (I'm lookin at YOU Courtney.)

75

Stylistically impetuous, anti-bourgeiousie, splendid night for Washingtonians scurrying about like a patient etherized on a table. 

Thank God DC has such strict gun control. 

76

Courtney has gone from incoherent, no-talent hack rock star to incoherent, no-talent hack nobody in just a few short years.  Who could have predicted the decline?

In fairness, I really did enjoy listening to "Celebrity Skin" (199 . Back then, she seemed to have real musicianship. But lately? Just dreck.

77 I hope the guy (or whatever it was) hanging around after the show to have sex with her was wearing a Hazmat full body condom. You never know when all those needle holes will start erupting...

I found that a five gallon bucket of Sears Weatherbeater (TM) was barely sufficient for heavy petting

78 Its gives me no pleasure to say this, but Love is perhaps the singularly worst professional (and I use the term loosely) guitarist, I've ever had the misfortune of watching.

When you can't consistently hit the third chord in your 3-chord song. . .time to get back to the woodshed. 

Admittedly, nobody is going to see her act to listen to her playing, but ack. . .its so bad she makes her deceased husband look like Segovia.

79 You guys like my imitation cheap whore tattoos? 

Sent you black holes over, I'll fix them up.

80 Calls to mind a joke I heard probably 12 years or so ago on the Imus show... Q -What's the difference between Wayne Gretzky and Courtney Love? A - After three periods, Gretzky takes a shower.

81

IIRC, Gore once told Love that he was a huge fan of hers but didn't know any of her songs when she pressed him on it.

Well judging by the reviews Courtney doesn't know any of her songs either, so I guess they have that in common.  Go get her Al, you big crazy sex poodle you.

82 OK, two bands from the 90s that I liked but who absolutely vanished:  Gin Blossoms and Belly.  Wha' happened?  I understand the transitory nature of music, but they dropped to the State Fair circuit pretty quickly. 

83 You want a real laugh and to understand why this was entirely predictable? Search for "Courtney Love Blog."

84 _{5 She took the stage nearly an hour past the advertised 9:30 start time, smoking a cigarette, rambling for a minute about how she was late because she had just been hanging out with a senator friend.}

^{I know Senators talk smack, but now we got one that does smack?

No, the Senator that did smack is now the President that did smack.

The only way I would hit that would be if Michelin started making steel belted rubbers.

85

Admittedly, nobody is going to see her act to listen to her playing, but ack. . .its so bad she makes her deceased husband look like Segovia.

Again, in fairness, her deceased husband, for all his drug abuse and mindless parroting of the latest Leftcause, *did* catch of Zeitgeist of the times.

And his music kicked glamcheesemetal to the curb. So there is *that*.

86 That suicide is painless
It brings on many changes
And I can take or leave it if I please

87

OK, two bands from the 90s that I liked but who absolutely vanished:  Gin Blossoms and Belly.  Wha' happened? 

Doug Hopkins, the driving force behind the Gin Blossoms, killed himself. End of story. As for Belly, Tanya Donnelly just decided to quit I think.

Thieving bastard.

89

Thieving bastard.

Much as I like Frank Black and Co., Pixies tunes are simply not as catchy.

I must give the junkie poser Cobain his due. "Nevermind" ended the dominant AlbumOrientedRock radio station format, cut through the sound of trivial pop acts like Poison and Warrant like a hot knife through butter, and did for a time turn the music industry on its head.

My money's on Al Franken because he's cool and knows Hollywood celebrities and shit.

91 The gore reference reminded me of during his presidential campaign, he was introduced to Love "I'm a big fan" She said "name a song" He couldn't. Loser.

92 P.S. Anybody who pays money to lee Courtney Love deserves what he gets.  Anybody who happens to be somewhere and had a chance to get away before Courtney comes deserves what he gets.

93 Coutney Love sucked back in the 90s, so it's no surprise she sucks even more now. And sorry, while Nevermind has it's moments, it's one of the most over rated albums ever in rock. Just like Nirvana is one of the most over rated bands in rock.

94
I have no idea why anyone goes to any concert.  What's the point?
The mass worship thing really bothers me.
Along with the noise, the irritating public, the let down.

Just buy the CD or down load what you need, play it in the privacy of your own car/home, and end it.
Why make these asshole rock stars rich?   Even the good ones kinda suck.


The only band worth seeing live is that favorite old time band that tours odd locations and is sure to put on a good show.  The bigger the venue, the larger the brand-name band, the more it's gonna suck.  You know it's true.

95 Nobody puts on a show like Joaquin Phoenix and she's no Joaquin Phoenix.

96 Best comment after the story? (paraphrased) "You know those people who eat sh*t on the internet? That's what a Hole concert is like."

Or something like that.

97
So...did you tap that, or what?

98

#99, the two best concerts I've seen in the last five years were Nightwish when they finally toured the States. I would have seen them three times, but illness cancelled the Knoxville show, and I couldn't get off work to see #4 in Houston.

And I saw Concrete Blonde's reunion tour show in New Orleans last week, was titled "Twenty Years of Bloodletting". Fucking KILLER show. I hadn't sung myself hoarse and stumbled out of a show half-deaf in almost a decade.

99 What kind of moron pays to see Courtney Love?
