Great Way To Shut A Singer Up

Angry Vegan Singer Deserves a hearty S.U.Y.T.'s. If you wanna rant about politics, go get yourself a soapbox and scream at people on the street over by the univ. If you're doing a gig, shut up and sing. Unless of course your music is all about being an angry vegan, in which case no one but other angry vegans will come to the show. But if I show up, I will be sure to bring a cheeseburger to throw on the stage.

Courtney Love Deserves Shot Gun Shell. No one was cruel to her. Honestly, when people go to see her, are they actually going so they can listen to her sing? 'Cause she can't sing. She's just a wasted old junkie who would be working graveyard at the gas station right now (if she could get that good a job) if she'd never knocked boots with Kurt Cobain.

As a plus, both incidents were very funny!!!

Cherie, you are a true inspiration to me.
 
My vision of purgatory would be being forced to play in a band with an angry vegan female singer who also had a sister that took the mic and lectured
on global warming between sets. Man, I'm scaring myself silly!:eek:

Basically, whomever threw that up on stage said to her "you might get shot." Not funny to me.

BTW, Hole had plenty of steam going before and after Nirvana broke. I'm not in any way a fan, but it should be stated that they were very well known before Nirvana broke with "Smells Like Teen Spirit." I remember a friend who was a fan tried to get me to listen to Hole. He explained that the new Hole album was way better then Nirvana's album (the first one before Nevermind was released).

My response at the time was "Who's Nirvana?"

Bloody tampon... FULL OF WIN! That was awesome.
 
Does no one remember that her husband and father of her kid died at the hands of a self inflicted shotgun wound?

That makes it alot more tasteless to me.

What makes this inaccurate is this: She was doing this while Kurt was still alive.... The shoe incident was at least 3 years before that. She was crazy before....

Ok, that makes more sense then. I didn't bother to check the dates.

edit: I think the shotgun shell story was the year after kurt's death when hole was on lollapalooza. from what I can tell, she wasn't heckling the crowd that night.
