Courtney's plug pulled


AN out-of-control Courtney Love had to be hauled off the stage at the Hollywood Bowl last Saturday night. Love, the opening act for Jane's Addiction, laced into Addiction frontman Perry Farrell after her set was cut short. The squabble started when a stagehand cautioned Courtney about the length of her set. She growled, "Tell Perry three more or we're leaving," according to nme.com. After one song, the crew turned off her sound and lights. As the band's equipment was being hauled off, Love stomped off stage and returned with a hand-lettered cardboard sign protesting the plug-pulling. She left and came back again with an acoustic guitar. The stand-off ended when one fed-up stagehand yanked the guitar, and a second man carried her off stage to audience cheers. A few nights before, when Love played L.A.'s Ventura Theater, she opened with a tirade against Limp Bizkit frontman Fred Durst, and later debuted a song about Julian Casablancas, the mop-topped singer for New York rockers The Strokes.


I'm sure we've all had some unpleasant experiences over the past few years, playing in and out of clubs, but have you ever felt outraged because your time was cut short one night during a gig? And did you ever show it? Although, I'm sure you wouldn't be able to get away with it quite like Miss Love. :rolleyes:
