Courtney Love | On The Record

Toure interviews Courtney Love about writing music for Hole, her lyrics, the personal demons that fame brings, sobriety, Kurt Cobain, and more.

this is the most awkward interview I've ever watched.

[jugheadjones]

“Talking about Kurt?”
“N-no”
“Who are u talking about?”
“None of your business.”

[sorcars]

a lot of hate toward this interviewer but in fact I give him a lot of woman is not easy to interview. And he handled the awkwardness quite well if you ask me.

People ask Courtney Love questions they would never as a man or anyone else for that matter. She’s given the second degree again and again for being a human and an artist. She’s a woman who’s shamed for never apologizing for herself.

[Exarch]

"I met Kurt and he wrestled me" -"He wrestled you?" -"Yes he wrestled me on a beer soaked floor" -moving on to the next question. Wow there are so many follow up questions here, but the interviewer just follows his list of questions slavishly. Loosen up the awkwardness a little please.

[jordandors]

I love how she said she had time for 2 more questions and she talked for 20 more minutes

[Mysteriuminiquitatis]

This should be in a cringe compilation. There are so many awkward silences

[c.a.]

This reminds me of when someone is on Lithium for Bipolar Disorder which many people in recovery are diagnosed with. It cause people to slur their words and be sleepy-like but that is usually when the doc hasn't leveled things out yet. This is a woman trying her best to get it together and remain professional in her artistic profession and being very raw and vulnerable and I really hope people can realize this and appreciate it. People say "get sober, get help" and sometimes this is what it looks like.

I can feel her and I understand her without her talking. She is tired of the same psychological questions.

[rocker]

Try to imagine a conversation between Courtney and Ozzy....OMG!

[elishawt]

Courtney half way through: "We only have time for 2 more questions
Courtney 5 minutes until the end: "We only have 10 minutes"

When your hungover in a job interview.

[Yoshiling]

The interviewer's demeanor makes me think he is intimidated or unsure of how to handle Courtney, and Courtney picked up on that immediately. Courtney seems annoyed that someone much younger than she, having not done his research on her career, is asking her questions in a judgmental tone, like a prosecutor. "You're a stable person?"

People, if you want someone to open up about personal things with you, make them feel special. Talk to them like you actually want to hear what they have to say. Make them feel like a person and not someone on trial.

[rabbitraisin]

I have this love/hate for her. I love and admire her and how she doesn't hold anything back and gets and does what she wants. But she kinda revolts me at the same time and I can spot the parts where she's fake, not always in a bad way but where she's faking herself through a situation to deal with it. I see so much of myself in her and that's probably where the hate comes from if I'm honest

[mattandrickadventures]

The interviewer looks at her and said, "your a stable person". Lamo

[ninahaverdil]

Courtney telling Kurt his then girlfriend was 'chunky' is such a mean girl thing to do.

[knowthyself]

7 years "sober" while she's higher than a damn kite

[maureenkelly]

She told Barbara Walters she got the name hole from something her mom said to her

[sxippydennison]

When Courtney chugged that coffee in one guzzle; I felt that.

[sheltertwo]

Watching this makes me have a whole new respect for Nardwuar’s interview style. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him even come close to such an awkward sit down with anyone, even Courtney Love.
