Love explained that some of the early lyrics for “Smells Like Teen Spirit” can be found in Cobain’s published journals, while others were never made available to the public before. She then went on to recite the first verse and chorus:  

“Come out and play / make up the rules / I know I hope / to buy the truth / who will be the king and queen / of all the outcasted teens.”

“We’re so lazy / and so stupid / blame our parents / and the cupids / a deposit, for a bottle / stick it inside / no role model”

Love also revealed several other alternative lyrics, including:

“Come out and play/ Make up the rules/ I know I hope to buy the truth/ Who will be the king and queen of all the outcasted teens?”

“We’re so lazy and so stupid/ Blame our parents and the cupids/ A deposit for a bottle/ Stick it inside, no role model.”

During her chat with host Rob Harvilla, Love shared other stories about Cobain, including the origins of his “beef” with Pearl Jam’s Eddie Vedder and how he wrote Nevermind track “Dumb” in 20 minutes during a plane ride.

In a recent interview with Vogue, Love was asked if there will be “a proper Hole reunion” in the future. “No, absolutely not,” Love responded. “And you guys have gotta get over it.”

“Our old manager Peter Mensch calls once a year to ask about a reunion: ‘Hey, just doing my thing I do every year with you and Jimmy Page [of Led Zeppelin].’ And I’m so honored to be in that company, but it’s just not gonna happen,” she added.

Most recently, Courtney Love reformed Hole in 2010 by recruiting new musicians. The group released an album Nobody’s Daughter, the band’s first since 1998, and embarked on a worldwide tour.

In 2012, the original line-up of Hole had an unofficial reunion when Love was joined by guitarist Eric Erlandson, drummer Patty Schemel, and bassist Melissa Auf der Maur for a two-song after the screening of documentary Hit So Hard. This marked their first performance together in 14 years.

In the following years, Love hinted at a full reunion on multiple occasions. This included several rehearsals featuring Erlandson, Schemel, and Auf der Maur as well as social media teases.

Love also talked about plans for a reunion in 2019 and 2020, saying that she and the rest of the group are “definitely talking” about getting back together. Unfortunately, these plans never materialized, and it seems they are now thing of the past.

The award event is founded by the music magazine, NME. The annual music awards show praises the artists who have contributed the most to the music scene over the years.

This year, Courtney Love will be the artist receiving the prestigious Icon Award. Love rose to fame in the ’90s when she fronted the grunge band, Hole. She has since established a successful career as a solo artist and has been nominated for a Golden Globe for her acting performance in The People vs Larry Flynt. NME has thus named her one of the most influential and iconic singers in alternative music culture.

“I started reading NME in Liverpool in 1981, and was down with the tude,” Love said about the announcement. “I converted fast into a trainspotter waiting every Thursday at the newsagent for my paper. The NME shaped lots of my musical sensibilities and values that I cherish.

“Great photography,  flashes of genius, on top of the most eclectic musical taste. Always challenging. I’m proud of what they’ve achieved and what NME stands for. Thanks little weirdos!”

The NME Awards will be hosted at the O2 Academy Brixton, London on February 12

Hole was the ’90s all-girl response to Nirvana. Courtney Love fronted the band and gave alternative rock culture the angry feminine shake up it needed. The band first split in 2002 before reuniting for two years between 2010 and 2012. Now, Melissa Auf Der Maur has suggested that it’s about time the band returned for the third time.

“I was in Los Angeles two weeks ago and had breakfast with Eric [Erlandson, guiratist], coffee with Courtney and dinner with Patty [Schemel, drummer],” she told Visions in an interview translated from German.

“I told them of our first encounter at the airport in Seattle and the feelings I had after our tribute event. We’ve all grown older, have become more gentle, and I have the feeling that now would be the right point in time to reactivate the band once again. We did a few little gigs over the years but nothing substantial, which by the way I am quite happy about, to be honest.”

“Now it’s been exactly 20 years since I’ve left the band, and I want a piece of our glory back,” she concluded. “Hole was a great band, and it’s important to remember them properly.”

The inaugural YOLA Fest will be taking place on June 8 in the Los Angeles State Historic Park. It’s been described as a “celebration of the arts, culture and music by today’s women” and its groundbreaking lineup reflects that.

Swedish musician Lykke Li will be in charge of headlining this amazing musical event, but she’s not the only big name on the ticket. Lineup also includes Charli XCX, Cat Power and Courtney Love.

More artists are yet to be announced, and we can’t wait to see how this festival develops in the future. We’re really hoping it’s not a one-time thing since it actually supports a pretty noble cause. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Downtown Women’s Center in Los Angeles.
