Courtney Love drama isn’t hard to come by… on a daily basis. Today’s episode, however, strikes me as different, namely because Billy Corgan, her former collaborator, lover?, and cool-headed 90s grunge alum, flew off the handle on Twitter. There are a lot of insults one could hurl at someone like Love (her ridiculous money, aka drug, issues, relationship with her daughter, Frances Bean, etc.), but Corgan took on the whole lot. Antiquiet articulated the drama quite well, but I’ll offer a few choice tweets from the sole original Smashing Pumpkin as proof that this beef just got real below…


Seriously, Courtney Love needs to stop handing her credit cards out to rock musicians. Perhaps that American Express lawsuit is just putting the heat on her, but for the second time in recent memory, Love’s accusing a fellow rocker of taking advantage of her “29 AMEX cards.”

As we previously reported, ex-Hole guitarist Eric Erlandson insists that Love’s recent declaration that Hole is reuniting on her solo album is bogus, saying that he signed a contract that legally states, “there is no Hole without me.” Would Love respond to such a statement? Of course:

“uh i just hear that a former guitar player is saying i cant use my name for MY band, hes out of his MIND, he may want to check the trademark,” she tweeted (via Hipsters United). 140 characters just wasn’t going to cut it though, so here are the follow-up tweets mashed together:

and his amex “Disease Model Tour” Bills, and umm, lets see his 99 usage of that amex and his 01 usage of wow 298K?198,000DOLLARS? Hole is

MY Band MY name and MY Tradmark he also might want to check his TAXES versus my redone Taxes on a bogus ssn, and talk to @Perezhilton’s

Crook CPA Accoutancy Firm COUGHS then VOMITS< who pay themselves something liek 350,000 a week and then dump 38,ooo into shell corps

In 2006 Steves went and s corped the name HOLE INC noone knows where probably Deleware, But its NOT worth getting into illtell you that

Buying me some Fish Fingers in 1989 is not really a concept i can relate too after stealing from me and particpating in stealing from mykid

I think if it takes 6 tweets to make a statement, you should probably lose your microblogging license. Either way, only Courtney could work Perez Hilton, trademark law, and fish fingers into a moniker dispute.

Former Hole bassist Melissa Auf Der Maur isn’t the only one questioning the legitimacy of Courtney Love’s announcement that Hole is reuniting as the backup band for her forthcoming Nobody’s Daughter album. Whereas Auf Der Maur was just “a little confused as to what the plan with that is,” guitarist Eric Erlandson doesn’t see any grey area: “The way I look at it, there is no Hole without me,” Erlandson told Spin’s David Peisner. “To put it blunt. Just on a business level.”

Erlandson added that he hasn’t been contacted at all about the supposed reunion, but he’s “open to discussions regarding the real Hole.”

Hey, maybe Love’s just taking a cue from her pal Billy Corgan, taking the band name and doing as she pleases. Meanwhile, she’s trying way too hard to bait Ryan Adams into a Twitter fight, dissing his poetry and alleged spending habits. Remember that whole thing?
