You probably all know about this, but i only just found out so let me celebrate still  

It seems Courtney has finally exhausted her long list of 'co' song writers

COURTNEY LOVE & ERIC ERLANDSON ANNOUNCE AN END TO HOLE  
May 22, 2002  
Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson announced today that they will no longer record or tour together as Hole.  

Hole's three studio albums (Pretty on the Inside, LiveThrough This and Celebrity Skin) have sold over 7 million records worldwide and have received overwhelming critical acclaim. Hole was widely acclaimed as one of the greatest live bands in the world. Eric and Courtney’s compositions earned six Grammy nominations and "Live Through This" was named one of the five best albums of the Nineties by SPIN Magazine.  

Love and Erlandson will work together on any future Hole catalog releases and they have plans to actively promote the band’s song catalog.  

"We're incredibly proud of the music we've made together," said Erlandson, "but it seems like time for both of us to move on."  

"Since Geffen Records closed during the promotion of our last record, there have been a lot of distractions," says Love. "Universal’s lawsuit against us made it impossible for us to find a new record company despite overwhelming interest from other labels. After three years of waiting, Eric and I have decided to put Hole to rest."  

"I will always treasure the time we played together. Eric has been an important part of my family for over ten years and he’ll continue to be a part of my life.  

"We both appreciate the amazing contributions that our other bandmates made to Hole," says Erlandson. Hole’s lineup has included Patty Schemel, Kristin Pfaff, Melissa Auf der Maur, Samantha Maloney, Jill Emery and Caroline Rue.  

"Patty is now writing and recording withn me, Melissa has played with Smashing Pumpkins, Samantha has toured with Motley Crue and Jill played with Mazzy Star, so I think Hole has been a made great contributions to rock’s Amazon culture," says Love. "We’re also grateful that we had the support of everyone at Geffen Records, Caroline Records, Gold Mountain, Q Prime and Rosemary Carroll. All of them made important contributions to our success."  

"Our fans have made Hole one of the greatest experiences any musician could ever have," adds Erlandson. "Courtney and I are incredibly grateful for their loyalty and inspiration."  

In addition, the Hole.com website will be maintained as an archive of the band’s history as part of Courtney Love’s Kittyradio.com website.  

Courtney is currently writing and recording a new album with Patty Schemel and Linda Perry that she plans to release early next year.  

Eric has been collaborating with several different singers and is looking forward to a variety of projects, including songwriting, production, and possibly putting together a new band

Thanks for posting that. Funnily enough i hadn't heard about it. I guess cause no one cares  ;D

I'll have to give them credit though because 'Live through this' was an awesome CD and i loved it when i was growing up. Yet, given that it has a Nirvana influence, and in the newer CD [whatever it's called] you can hear a heavy influence of billy Corgans song writing style i would take it that Courtney's success had more to do with the men in her life than anything else.

i care. 'live through this' and their latest album ('celebrity skin' m'dear) were really good. hey, they still are. i'm not the hugest hole fan, but i did like their stuff, regardless of all this courtney love/nirvana etc. bullshit. still, i'm guessing they will each come back in different bands anyway, so there is no point worrying about it.
