\n\tCourtney Love<\/a> sat down for a sprawling conversation with Billy Corgan<\/a> that covered everything from their shared hate of Kim Gordon to Marlon Brando, who the Hole lead singer thought was her grandfather for years. Toward the end of the nearly two-hour chat, the topic turned to Love and Dave Grohl<\/a>\u2018s extremely rocky relationship dating back to the Nirvana days when she dated (and married) the band\u2019s frontman, the late Kurt Cobain.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen discussing fellow friends and musicians speaking ill of them in the media during\u00a0Corgan\u2019s podcast\u00a0The Magnificent Others, Love brought up Grohl, who she appeared to make a truce with in 2014 when Nirvana was inducted<\/a> into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. \u201cCome out with it and just say we\u2019re cool,\u201d said Love, referencing Grohl. \u201cBe man enough to man up, because you\u2019re the Uberman. [You have] all the straight males and we\u2019re cool, but you won\u2019t say it because you\u2019re afraid you\u2019ll lose your audience. You\u2019re afraid it\u2019ll affect your relationship with literal Paul McCartney.\u201d In 2014, Love criticized<\/a> a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert performance between the surviving members of Nirvana and\u00a0Paul McCartney, saying (among other things) that she was not \u201cnot amused\u201d\u00a0by the Beatles member\u2019s involvement. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter noting that Grohl doesn\u2019t have same \u201ctalent\u201d as McCartney, Love said, \u201cThey both have the wife \u2014 haunting, dark shadow. They both have the cool guy dying \u2014 haunting, tragically haunted. So they\u2019re buddies. Is that why?\u201d She continued, \u201cDave, it would really behoove me if the straight white males that are your base will stop picking on me,\u201d adding, it was \u201cthe millennials in particular, Gen Z is not picking on me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cYour heart drops whenever somebody that you\u2019re cool with, or maybe just remotely cool with disses you in the press,\u201d said Love. <\/p>\n

\n\tCorgan, who has had his own frenemy relationship with Love, attempted to alleviate any misunderstandings and said, \u201cI can confirm that I\u2019ve spent time with you and Dave together, and Dave doesn\u2019t have any issue with you.\u201d The Smashing Pumpkins frontman added, \u201cThere\u2019s the stuff that goes on behind the castle walls, and there\u2019s stuff goes out front.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBefore Corgan could expand on that thought, Love interjected and said Grohl has written four songs about her and that her friend, Scott Weiland, has written two. Love called it \u201clazy\u201d writing and asked, \u201cWhy have you written mean songs about me?\u201d before continuing onto the next topic.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Courtney Love sat down for a sprawling conversation with Billy Corgan that covered everything from their shared hate…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":576493,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[114935,49,48,109031,27131,75,341],"class_list":{"0":"post-576492","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-music","8":"tag-billy-corgan","9":"tag-ca","10":"tag-canada","11":"tag-courtney-love","12":"tag-dave-grohl","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-music"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576492","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=576492"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/576492\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/576493"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=576492"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=576492"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=576492"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
