America’s sweetheart Courtney Love does not love The Foo Fighters—she’s mad that their frontman Dave Grohl stole Nirvana’s millions from her daughter or something. Anyway, Love recently refused to play an encore for her fans in Brazil unless they all said (at the count of three), “The Foo Fighters are gay.” From the sound of it, most of the fans obeyed.
First off Courtney, it’s Foo Fighters not The Foo Fighters. And second, if Foo Fighters really were gay, we’d probably like them more.
Your band used to be gay… they used to have a lesbian drummer… back when they were cool.
Oooh… burn. Sick burn.
How about we take this to the next level?

He really is a witch. Funny thing is that she’s big old fag hag and she should know better, which means she’s an idiot too.

Meant “she”, I haven’t had my coffee yet.

I liked her music back in the 90’s, but she is so crazy now. At one of her concerts, she said to an African American lady that was there, “Do you really like rock music? Because you’re African-American. That would be like me being into Lil Wayne.”
You can’t made this stuff up!!

Why would anyone care what that no-talent drug addict thinks or says?
Mav
Jimi Hendrix…Janis Joplin…Kurt Cobain…Mitch Hedburg…Michael Jackson….Amy Winehouse…so much lost talent, yet this dumb bitch just goes on and on.
Figures.

She responded to this by saying she’s allowed to say that because she’s a ‘gay icon’. Well I’m not sure counting on gay men for ballance when youre cracked out on heroin, makes you a gay icon.

Gay used as an insult in 2011 is so pathetic. She really is disgusting in so many ways.

I’ll call the Foo Fighters the Founding Fathers if Courtney Love promises to move to Siberia and never sing or blog again.

@christopher di spirito: Best. Comment. EVER.

Her new album is awesome. Not Live Through This awesome, but really good and genuine, so leave the has-been remarks to the side… as for Foo Fighters, Dave Grohl is a douche. I mean, he broke up Veruca Salt, for one!

She said she can use the word “gay” because she is a gay icon. If she were, she would consider calling anything gay a huge complement. Since that was not her intent, she forfeits any claim to being a gay icon!

Dave Grohl has more talent in his baby toe than Courtney has in her entire fucked up body. And if he did break up Veruca Salt, then GOOD! I’m glad. Veruca Salt sucked, so he did us all a favor.

Courtney Love is a gay icon.
Tommy
In fairness to Courtney, her older albums Live Through this and Celebrity Skin were excellent. So she used to have talent but like so many other artists the drugs destroyed that. Her last album Nobody’s Daughter was pretty bad.
But she shouldn’t call Dave Grohl gay in a derogatory way even though I don’t like the guy’s music.
But isn’t every one in the music business sort of crazy? Courtney isn’t any worse than the rest of them. I have this rule. I never date musicians because all of them are pretty much batshit crazy.

I do know quite a few gays (myself included) who do love her. Its sad really because when she is clean and focused she is quite talented in both music and the films she is on. I also liked her newest album. Wasn’t amazing, but nowhere near bad. I still really want to like her, but hearing things like this makes it hard, although I will always find her fascinating….

Who is this person????
Jamison
@Mav:
uhmm… why is Amy Winehouse in that list? She doesn’t begin to compete with the rest of them.
Hephaestion
So Courtney Love hates the gays? Well FUCK her.
christopher di spirito
Courtney Love is a gay icon? Bitch please. You’re not Cher or Gaga.
Henry
@Kev C: She is, which makes the hate here surprising.
Ted C.
Just to be clear (for people who didn’t watch the video), Courtney didn’t call the Foo Fighters gay; her guitarist did. I hope she had words with him afterwards.
In any case, Hole (in any incarnation) are way better than the Foo Fighters.
Mav
@Jamison: Winehouse was relatively talented. I mean, she’s not on the level of Hendrix or Joplin, but the point wasn’t to compare the the talent of the people I listed, it was just the first few talented people I could think of off the top of my head who were apparently stupid enough to kill themselves with drugs and alcohol. There are tons of people more talented but Winehouse, admittedly, but her death was a waste too based on the music I’ve listened to by her.
Between looking at pictures of Courtney Love and dealing with my foster sister’s junkie bio-mom and her meth-induced delusions about how the world works, I’ve pretty much sworn off anything stronger than a beer for life.
Hard drugs cause you to make abysmally stupid decisions. And the worst part is that you think you’re FABULOUS, when you’re really just a vomiting, stumbling, flop-sweating, scab-picking, grandma-selling skivvy loser.
Not hot. Do not want.

Is Cunty Love still drawing people to concerts? I suppose exploiting the memory of Kurt Cobain has served her well, sort of like a parasite feasting on another’s fame.
I suppose she needs the money, though. Hollywood couldn’t deal with her and gave her short shrift. If she didn’t look like a bloated rag doll, she might have become something.

@arbiter:
Veruca Salt broke up over Dave Grohl. That dick. Now I’m seething.

Poor bitch gets crazier by the day. But I just can’t hate her, Malibu is my favorite song ever, and damn, she looked so beautiful in the video:

@christopher di spirito: That’s fucking hilarious. Cher and Gaga can both fuck off & die already.
I’m gay. I love Courtney. You don’t get to dictate who my ‘gay icons’ are. So ha!
