    This video dives into the long-standing rumor that Kurt Cobain was the secret ghostwriter behind many of Hole's songs, particularly those on their breakthrough album "Live Through This." We examine the evidence, including alleged demo tapes of Cobain singing Hole tracks, comments made by Dave Grohl questioning Courtney Love's songwriting abilities, and the musical similarities between Nirvana and Hole's music. We'll also analyze the contributions of other Hole members like Kristen Pfaff and Eric Erlandson, and explore whether Love's songwriting was truly her own or if Cobain, as her husband and Nirvana's frontman, played a larger role than admitted. Was "Live Through This" a collaboration between the grunge icons, or is this just a case of fans and fellow musicians like Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselich misinterpreting the influence of Kurt Cobain on Hole's sound?

    Billy had a major role in Celebrity Skin but Courtney still denied he had major involvement. She struggles to give anyone credit for anything. Her parents,her trust fund,any significant others, her former band mates. And then at the slightest criticism she deflects with someone just hating her due to being an anti feminist… as if she is infallible because she’s a female. Next do a video of the many inconsistencies of Courtney Love… then one thing will be clear… why no one can believe Courtney Love

      The album had 12 songs and he collaborated on 5. For example, Hole wrote Celebrity Skin and when Billy heard it, he suggested the addition of the opening riff (something that gave him co-writing credits). Without Hole, the song wouldn't exist at all. The same with Dying (Hole's demo is onIine). That's not writing "most" of the album

She also said nobody ever bothers to pull up the publishing splits that are recorded, where Kurt often gets his fair credit.

    The truth is probably somewhere in the middle. It’s not that Kurt composed Live Through This, but likely influenced it in subtle ways. Maybe even advised Courtney at times. As 2 singer songwriters in a relationship, that’s bound to happen. Corgan’s influence on Celebrity Skin, on the other hand, is super obvious and not a secret.

    Hard to say. So many bands at that time would cop elements of the big successful bands of that era. I was in a band then (actually played a show with hole), and after Soundgarden became influential all of a sudden everyone (ourselves included) were dropping down to D. After Alice In Chains? Spooky harmonies became a thing. Dont get me started with all the marble mouth singers that came out because of Eddie Vedder. And With Love literally sharing a bed with Cobain? id be surprised if his influence didn’t rub off on her! But I also think he probably did help her as well. Probably a bit of both influence and help.

      Not necessarily, some songwriters have a streak and then run out of steam. Plus there's all kinds of reasons why songwriters become inactive, she did a fourth Hole record with a new band when no-one from the original band wanted to work with her anymore, when that predictably imploded she did a solo record. Her best work is clearly the stuff when she had good people around her helping her make the best of her songwriting, but there's no doubt in my mind that she's a very talented songwriter and the soul in her songs is hers.

    Singing the whole song Asking for it? He sang in a few snippets?? Also pretty on the inside was recorded and made before she met Kurt. Courtney Love was the muse for In Utero and helped Kurt write music on In Utero.. Always belittling a musician because of sexism and her persona.

The cord progressions, lyrics & quite-loud dynamics on many of the songs, the fact that Billy Corgan wrote their next album, and the fact that nowhere in the liner notes was Kurt mentioned or thanked even though it's a fact he sang backup vocals on at least one of the album's songs. Plus, Courtney is such a leech-fraud in general.

    Most singers don’t write all of their songs. Big bands like the Beatles or Fleetwood Mac not only had at least 3 of the band members writing lyrics, but they also contributed to music composition. I don’t think a song like Fleetwood Mac’s « Dreams » would have been as good if only Stevie would have written it, yet it is her song. Collaborative art makes it difficult to know when one’s influence stops and another starts because people with bounce off of each other with ideas.
    Courtney Love was not the best song writer or music composer with Hole’s first album « Pretty on the Inside ». Though there is wonderful potential in the lyrics with « Teenage Whore » or « Good Sister / Bad sister ». With those songs, one car hear how they could be influenced the Nirvana way or the Smashing Pumpking way.
    I believe that Hole with Courtney Love as a major influence did write the lyrics, gave the themes, the ambiance. Did she write all the music? That I have more doubts. Probably the band was able to put a general structure, and they then had help from an editor / producer to go in the direction they wanted.
    But to state that just because Live Through This sounds like Nirvana is completely forgetting the times and the releases there were in those days… Everyone wanted to sound like Nirvana.
    The difference with Nirvana and Hole is that the themese evocked by Hole are personal to Love’s life, and to being a woman, and they are more concrete thoughts that Cobain’s poetics.

    I gotta say, there's a difference between someone influencing a song/album by introducing subject matter, or even being a muse VS. literally writing songs for the album.
    Those are not the same thing. So, comparing CL's influence to In Utero to Kurt's alleged influence on Live Through This are two very different things.
    People have no problem with her writing songs for/about Kurt; but they feel misled when it seems like Kurt's alleged songwriting contribution was not acknowledged.
    Maybe that's how he wanted it, anyway. Or maybe his contribution was minimal - I don't know.
    But those things are not comparable is my point.

    The problem with Courtney is talks with two mouths.
    She's stated "Doll Parts" was written either in a bathroom with people waiting or at friends place with a dog begging hence the line "Dog beg".
    Kristen Pfaff lyrics from when she was in "Janitor Joe" were use on the album which Courtney (to my knowledge) has never credited her publicly.
    Hole's first album "Pretty On The Inside" were just song from her time with Kat, and later with what form with Eric, Jill and Carol.
    Years later Billy Corgan was used to compose the music or help out Eric with Celebrity Skin, and Courtney called him back a few times to help with other songs on her solo albums after she claimed Hole as her own band after going solo.
    She has a history of needing helping composing music, and that's totally fine she's not musically gifted to compose her own music.
    The Cobain relationship was reflected in both "In Utero" and "Live Through This" you can tell 100% .
    Yes they helped each other, however Kurt helped her grow way more musically and she helped him grow worldly. That's WAY different.

    It doesn’t take Sherlock Holmes to figure out a Courtney has absolutely zero talent.

Also let’s not forget that Hole as of today over 30 years later Hope has only sold 10% record sales compared to Nirvana. It’s a shame he didn’t stay with Tracy Marander.

    If you know anything about Billy Corgan and have listened extensivley to his demos, then you cannot come to any other conclusion than he wrote Malibu! The chord progression, vocal phrasing and everything else has his hallmarks all over it. When Jools Holland on his show Later.. asked Courtney what the song was about her exact words were 'I don't know' - that's because she didn't write it!

      Billy Corgan is properly credited on Malibu as is Eric Erlandson. She claims he only helped with the composition and arrangement though. I don't really think it is that important to debate it when someone is properly credited. It was a collaboration that he is getting royalties for.

      @@JetWindTV The scope of his input has been debated though even by Corgan himself! Love at the time of its release played down his input. I remember reading that Eric claimed he came up with the chord sequence. I call BS on that as the verse chord structure and melody has all the hallmarks of Corgan’s sound. The official title at the time for Corgan’s input was that he was just at the recording sessions as a consultant. He was clearly more than that. Corgan has actually said he wrote most of the album, even the songs he isn’t credited on!
