Courtney Love: 'Kurt Cobain Loathed Dave Grohl'

Courtney Love has slammed Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl saying that Kurt Cobain “loathed” him.

Cobain’s ex-wife Love has been locked in a feud with Grohl since the release of Nirvana’s box set 'With The Lights Out,’ amid legal conflict in 2004.

Writing on her Myspace blog, Love said: “As for that drummer, well he's hit on me so many times. He's just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he 'hates' me more than 'anyone else.’”

It’s been widely rumored that the song, 'Let It Die,’ from Foo Fighters new album, 'Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace,’ is about the fragility of Love and Cobain’s relationship.

"Kurt loathed HIM more than anyone else (except a journalist). In his will he made a codicil that Grohl was no longer a member of Nirvana. I just ignored the guy and will continue to."

She continued: "Dave knows this, and he takes it out on me! Hey, it wasn't MY band and it wasn't MY idea! It's funny he 'hates' me since I don't think about him.

"He's just sub-mediocre kind of [guy] who does this 'nice guy' nonsense. There isn't a word he could he say that would ruffle my feathers, honestly. Anyway what a fun, fabulous, special evening!"

Anyone else think Ms. Love is a tad hypocritical?

[frankv]

Kurt probably loathed her more than Dave...

[therealdave]

hmmm, drug addled, washed-up widow, or clean, generally known as a nice guy, still has a band ex-drummer?
I know who I'd take more seriously...

[OzZY-RuLE5!!!!!]

My thoughts exactly. She sucks, and her music sucks.

[HawkaLuigi]

Checkedzors. Don't diss her music guys or I'll warn you. It's not about who sucks and who doesn't.

[getts182]

If Courtney doesn't think about Dave, why is she writing about him?

There isn't a word he could he say that would ruffle my feathers, honestly

Apparently, he doesn't have to, Courtney is getting her feathers ruffled by absolutely nothing! I haven't heard or read anything Dave's said about her in years, it's obvious she's the one with the problem.

[Comeback Kiddd]

Dave is mad at Courtney for killing Kurt!

yea courtney just wants publicity, who cares if kurt hated dave, without dave nirvana would be nothing

[negativecreep92]

Bloody hell, what a bitch. She doesn't care yet she's gone on about it. Of course Kurt liked Dave, if he didn't Dave would never have gotten into Nirvana. All the footage I've seen of Nirvana together all looked like all three members were pretty close. Courtney's just bitter - something she's good at, loo kat all the Nirvana trouble and the thing with Steve Coogan (which even if true doesn't lessen my admiration for Coogan - he's still one of the funniest people alive)

[USCENDONE BENE]

yeah i very much doubt she's gonna get much backing in this. Dave is awesome, she's the one who's not letting this go

[r3conmarine90]

i definitely despise courtney love.

[xyour_name_here]

i absoulutly hate courntey love with a passion!

[Vrstone87]

She has no right to bash him.

[the_guitar]

she's the fucking bitch that killed him. Love is a turd

[Jau_Peacecraft]

I love how everyone seems to hate courtney due to them being hurt by Kurt (LoL!) shooting himself in the face with a shotgun. It seems so many idolized him and need someone to blame everything on because they just realized, years later, that Nirvana *might've* been over-rated, that Dave Ghrol might've been the *only* talented guy in the band, that Love *could* be right, but will outright deny it and continue to pump their fists as if they were at an anti (or pro) abortion rally.

Don't get wrong, I don't really care either way, but I'm not the only one who would laugh into the abyss if Love were ever proven right (I don't see anything being proven honestly) about all this.

[Scourge441]

Dave Grohl > Courtney Love in every way.

[ShaDoW0lf]

She wants MONEY
she wants FAME
She wants MORE MONEY
So, she hates everyone who decreases either for her, Dave Grohl being one of them.. I think she might try kill him next.

[travisholland]

Hey, it wasn't MY band...

That's right, it wasnt your band Love. Thats why you dont deserve a penny or should have no opinion in anything Nirvana.

That's pretty much right-on. She's probably just mad that every Foo Fighters album has gone platinum, and her last album has sold less than 150,000 copies. Dave Grohl is someone people care about, and she's someone people could care less about.

[Dingoman]

hmmmm who is more likely to be loathed by not just cobain but,oh i dont know,everyone?
thats what i thought...

[Neloangelo818]

can whoever handles what news goes up here STOP GIVING US SHIT NEWS INVOLVING COURTNEY LOVE

kplzthxbai

[Quiet Rob]

It is so easy to put words into a mouth that has been dead for over dead for ten years. If she had physical proof, then she might have something interesting to say...

I still wouldn't listen to her.

If Kurt really hated dave as much as she says, then Grohl wouldn't have lasted in the band for almost 4 years, he would have kicked him out or broke up the band long before. I know that Kurt and Dave may not have gotten along at times, but they didn't hate each other. I wonder what Krist would say about this whole thing, he knew Kurt probably more then anyone.

[Thefallofman]

Yeah, she's doing an awful job of ignoring him.

[Jeffray85]

love is a tranny

[Life Wasted]

She is so full of sh**

[jamiehubbs]

honestly is anyone going to listen to her at all anymore?

[FunkasPuck]

if he really hated dave, then he would have just kicked him out like one of the many other drummers they went through.
stfu courtney, nobody cares anymore. Grohl is doing exceptionally well in foo fighters.

[FaceTomorrow]

Kurt might have said once or twice that he hated Dave, but what do you expect from Kurt since he was mentally completely unstable. He has probably screamed at Courtney a lot more. He said some things about Eddie Vedder as well, but he took those back. So.. F*ck Courtney.

[FaceTomorrow]

Ow by the way, Courtney doesn´t look that bad on this picture.

[RockDragon]

So Kurt hated Dave. Couldn't have anything to do with the fact that Dave actually had any talent could it?

Anyways as has been said, Courtney has no place to comment on stuff like this. It would be like if Maureen Plant came out and said that Bonham hated Robert Plant lol.

[RockDragon]

^ or something along those lines lol. Confused my self abit there :P.

[mjh1997]

Courtney is still that sad little girl who wasn't accepted by the cool kids at school, so she dyed her hair blue, bought a pack of cigarettes and started hating anyone w/ friends or a life. Her disdain for Dave comes from the fact that he's the complete opposite...nice guy, funny, adored by millions. She's a joke.

[mister bass guy]

courtney's just messed up. o well her daughter's hot...

[Minzufbotdmelon]

courtney love...many many words come to mind when i think of her, but the most prevalent one is BITCH. that is what she is. she's just crying out for attention, as she always has. well, ms. love, we're not listening.

[JoeLancaster]

well if you're not listening.....then, stop.effing.listening.

[nds711d]

Dave and Krist should get all the money for that. not some drugged up ***** who killed the band's leader. i think we should unite in an Anti Courtney Love Group. whos with me?!

[SugarRush66]

I don't like Courteny spouting off like this either, but I don't see it has anything to do with what happened to Kurt. He killed himself, he was depressed, simple as.

[EdarotagV335]

lies, all lies, stupid bitch. all she wants is more publicity so she can rant.

[Nirvana_17]

i hope that bitch gets hit by a car. thats bull shit why would kurt hate dave? hes hugging him in a few pictures of nirvana

[bassbizzle]

courtney love should die

long live grohl

Shes only saying this because theres no one to prove her wrong. Sure, she sounds just plain stupid, but we don't know if its true or not.

How does she know that he didn't hate her?

[Lauri]

Writing on her Myspace blog, Love said: “As for that drummer, well he's hit on me so many times. He's just a very very conflicted guy about me, which is why he continually writes songs about me to hear he 'hates' me more than 'anyone else.’” Bad taste!

[Badmotorfever]

All i can say is "Media Whore".

All Courtney Love (ironic name...) seems to do is to slate as many people as she can, and spout as much crap about Kurt Cobain as physically possible.

So because she dislikes Dave Grohl, shes trying to delude everyone into thinking that her dead husband hated him as well? Although, obviously secretly, seeing as nobody heard about this "minor" detail until 2008. Well, thanks for the 14 year gap Courtney.

Shes trying to use the fact people take Cobain's words (allegedelly) for gold, to turn her own petty fights into things people give a **** about.

All I can say is, Dave Grohl isn't called the Nicest Man In Rock for nothing. He actually cares, and he's got a lot of resepect. I think ranting about something thats impossible to prove turns a lot of people against you...hence, why people really don't give a shit about Courtney and appreciate Dave for the man he is: Respectable and talented.

[..NEM..]

Lol, I wonder if anyone really believes her?

[dembonez]

If Kurt loathed Grohl like *IT* says then why was he at their wedding when they got married hmmmmm???

[hellfire21]

y is she saying something about Dave??
i was watching the 7 ages of Rock and Dave said that if he could change one thing in his life, he would wish Kurt was still alive.
he goes out sayin somethin like that, and this is wat she says?
i bet Dave would change somethin else 2, he'd wish Kurt and Courtney never met

[lespauldillon]

she reminds me of rosie o' donnal er however you spell it. she just runs her mouth about shit and just wants the attention. i honestly dont think kurt would loathe someone in his own band, sure everybody fights in bands, but that doesnt make any sense that he would hate dave. and in the time magazine based book they wrote about kurt, it said somewhere in there that his bandmates were the closest people he had, his best friends. so.. kudos to courtney, shes just ****in faggoty dude.

[thebixter88]

"In his will he made a codicil that Grohl was no longer a member of Nirvana."
1) Kurt did not have a will, Courtney and Frances Bean were the sole benificiaries of his estate.
2) In seperate interviews (Rolling Stone) both Kurt and Dave confirmed thier close friendship.
3) Dave has writen several songs that seem to be or are about Kurt being his "hero".
4) Dave was a member of nirvana even after Kurt was killed. Dave and Chris played one show together after Kurts death.
5) Courtney is crazy.
6) Courtney is crazy.
7) Courtney is crazy.

[Shor-T Zero]

+1million to the bixter. All too true.

I think people saying Nirvana are over-rated are missing the picture. Sure Kurt couldn't shred and what not, but his lyrics, Chris's bass lines, and Dave's great understanding of the drums changed almost an entire generation. If that's not worthy of praise, I don't know what is. BTW, when i say changed an entire generation, I mean for the better, with stuff called music. Sorry, majority of the new music today that is shit, you just plain suck and people are idiots to buy your "music" (basically aimed at the emo crowd, rap, and stuff that doesn't deserve the label "music")

[raj_j_i]

Has she finally and completely lost her mind? On the other hand, did she ever really have one to begin with... Just plain stupid.

[Grinspoon-Guy]

anyone else wish it was her that commited suicide instead?

[copet]

Thank you bixter for that post! I'd never heard any of that.

[giginthesky]

She should just leave Dave Grohl alone. Dude is minding his own, making music, having fun and is obviously on with his life, and HIS band is good, so she should just shut the f**K up and "Let it die".

[Tele Echoes]

She's said the he loathed Dave before...and she's saying it again now. Why is she repeating herself on a subject she claims to not think about??? Why is she the only one speaking about about Dave Grohl?

I don't know all the songs that are about her or not (I'm pretty sure "I'll Stick Around" and "Stacked Actors" are about her), but I guess she should make a song about him, as opposed to shooting off her opinion (which nobody seems to take in a serious context at all anymore). I guess you would need to be able to make good music for a song like that...Kurt's gone..where's Billy Corgan's phone number again???

[boxcharles]

It's a pointless argument. Dave Grohl is one hell of a songwriter/musician. Who would have thought back in '91 that weird drummer had all that talent waiting to come out?

Anyways, the one good record Courtney came out with Kurt co-wrote most of the material on it. After we was gone so was her career. And her meaning in life. She WAS Kurt Cobains wife. Now she's nothing more than a drugged up widow.

[Jake1130]

hmmmm conceided bootch whos shoots her mouth off more than she shoots herione.....is gonna talk about a guy thats never said anything about her.

her band sucks, and foo fighters are one of the greatest out right now....so she can shut her damn mouth

[gottaloveDG]

oh for god's sake can somebody please shut her up? i mean i actually started to think SHE was the reason Kurt was depressed and commited suicide. i was ignoring her bullshit at the begining because she lost her husband but that's enough BITCH! just accept the fact that Dave is a great man in every way and move on. if you can't, just kill yourself so the world won't hear your ****in shits.

[frostyfrizz]

It’s been widely rumored that the song, 'Let It Die,’ from Foo Fighters new album, 'Echoes, Silence, Patience And Grace,’ is about the fragility of Love and Cobain’s relationship.

NO ITS NOT.

Its actually about how people throw their lives away, and people being sorry for them. Dave actually says that it wasnt about kurt and courtney in this clip.

watch from 30 to 40

You guys have really gotta start getting the facts straight :/

PS I was talking to the people, not the author

[frostyfrizz]

PPS: 3 00 to 4 00.... Wtf?

[evevev]

Courtney, you're so full of it. Dave never hit on you. Krist and Dave just plain don't like you.Never did, never will. They loved Kurt. Get help, move on, get over it.
