Courtney Love “Dave Grohl Is A Jerk”
It’s a rock ‘n’ roll feud that’s been a constant since Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain’s suicide in 1994, but according to Courtney Love Dave Grohl isn’t the nice guy he seems and has been “taking money away from [daughter of Cobain and Love] Frances Bean for years.”
Always the pillar of responsibility, Courtney Love has been shooting her mouth off again about Kurt’s former bandmate Dave Grohl. Speaking to US magazine Spin she vents,
"Dave gets to walk away unscathed and be the happy guy in rock, when he's one of the biggest jerks," she complained. "He's been taking money from my child [Frances Bean] for years."
There has been no statement from Grohl at present and indeed, his manager, John Silva, told The Associated Press that the Foo Fighters frontman wouldn’t be commenting on Love’s claims.
The relationship between Grohl and Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic, and Love has been strained since work began on the release of the ‘With The Lights Out’ box-set.
While the legal wranglings were sorted out in 2002, Love still seems mildly peeved that at Grohl and has a habit of criticising the Foo Fighters frontman at any opportunity.
As for being the “nicest guy in rock,” the drummer has recently addresses his nickname in an interview with Spin magazine,
“I don’t know. Because I don’t do coke?” Grohl asked “I supposed it’s not taking anything for granted and feeling lucky to be here.
“There’s thousands of nice guys in the world! Maybe it’s because I have a goofy smile and people are like, ‘Awww, he’s like a little kid!’ I’m 36!”
