Hole - "Violet" live at 1993 Phoenix Festival, Stratford-upon-Avon

[@thewreckofisgard6380]

People who say she can’t sing aren’t listening. It’s about the passion and fury. She isn’t trying to be Dickinson or Halford. She’s taking all the dirty, disgusting feelings from the pit of her soul and putting them on display.

[@keepyour2cents218]

Why feed the swine pearls

[@jamessharp9790]

She didn’t need to be anyone else but I see Janis Joplin , Cherie Currie , Johnny Rotten and Johnny Cash influence in her performance.

[@janlevani8824]

Would you believe that thirty years later noticed it? I mean like today now. Holy Shit!

One of the most underrated musicians of all time. I still have her album in cd. The best times of my life tweeked out with her for sure. Got me home overtime. I miss you Hole and I miss you to Anaheim 😊

[@mondomama7223]

Her Scream Was Executed With Such Feverancy And Intensity. No Woman Could Match That. Not On Her Scale Of Personal Trauma And Pain.

Justice for Kristen! She was within hours of escape. Even if there was nothing intentional (and that's a big if), bringing heroin into the presence of someone who's been clean for two months is a reprehensible thing to do.

I genuinely think she is more talented than Kurt. Her songwriting is insane.

I think the Kurt association neutered her power in a sense. Those early Hole performances in 1990 cannot be matched

Q.E.P.D Kristen †

[@gabrr795]

Courtney didn't even let Kristen sing during the concerts, she didn't allow Kristen to sing at all, she barely allowed her to do background vocals during the recording of violet and that is just so unfair since Kristen was a really good singer as well. RIP Kristen, we miss you

[@anorexorcistburger]

Kristen didn’t do any backing vocals at all on any recording.

[@scottcharney1091]

Well, Courtney did let Kristen sing live, but only minimally. It's ridiculous, and one of the several ways in which Courtney bullied her.

[@scottcharney1091]

Kristen was still alive and i think she’s been murdered . All the story around is death is very dark. You should read her mom’s book , and understand how jealous Courtney was of Kristen’s musical skills and her platonic relationship with Kurt. And then , just before she died , she was getting close to MArk LAnegan , another Courtney’s relation property ; and …his “boyfriend” Eric Erlandson…everything is so dark.

[@rj8877]

Yeah to hell with the testimonies given by Kristen's boyfriend Eric Erlandson or best friend Patty Schemel. Let's bypass the recorded footage of Courtney and Patty holding Eric back from contacting the dealer who served Kristen her last score. Because Courtney's absent mother knows better.
