Hole - "Skinny Little b*tch"

[HC]

Their first single in 11 years ! It apparently goes for adds next week. Haven't heard this yet, but want to. It's probably going to be a mess, but it could also be good. Thoughts??

WHOA! I read they were making new music, but didn't know how legit it was or if it was ever going to happen. Don't remember like anything of their early work, but I was young and a "good mormon boy" at the time. LOL!

It's really just Courtney Love and a bunch of new members labeled as Hole, but shockingly, all the new stuff sounds VERY Hole. Here's an LQ live clip of this track:



Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but that's only because I was more of a "Celebrity Skin" (pop/rock) fan than a "Live Through This" fan...and according to NME, who heard the record, said:

A balls-out, low-down dirty rock song, and as fine a signature tune for the new Hole as you could imagine. Tapping the same lyrical vein as 'Samantha', it's The Stooges fronted by a Joan Jett re-imagined as the Bride Of Frankenstein. And it’s the sound of Courtney having fun.

I think "Samantha" (www.youtube.com/watch?v=audtFfSzIGY) sounds much more promising.

My favorite has to be "Pacific Coast Highway", though. It's much more "Celebrity Skin" era, and reminds me of "Malibu" (my favorite Hole song). She performed it live two years ago, leaked a demo, and then performed it again this month, so it definitely made the record. It should've been the first single, IMHO.

Here's the demo:


It sounds similar live, but a little more beefed up.

And Glitter In The Air...you should definitely check out their older stuff...I think you'll love it.

Okay, Courtney could do okay with this. It's trashy in a good way. Link added.

This is decent, not amazing though. "Samantha" is a better choice IMO.

This sucks. I hope they rush out "Samantha" or "Pacific Coast Highway."

I'm surprised, I thought this would be a mess, but it's solid. Obviously not among their best singles though.

I'll always be a fan of Courtney despite of her madness.

I'd love if Melissa Auf der Maur could make a return to the band. She had something special, she was very hot.
