Every so often, Courtney Love resurfaces to rehash the past, including her famous meltdowns and feuds. Today, the former Hole singer is based in London and seems to have an entirely new life. With that new life, she wants haters from her past to settle down. In fact, during a recent podcast appearance, Courtney Love referenced her long-buried feud with Dave Grohl. She’d like the Foo Fighters star to “man up” and vouch for her now.

Courtney Love wants Dave Grohl to tell his fans their feud is over

Courtney Love has popped up on a podcast this month, and the famed Hole singer is very interested in talking a bit more about the past. This time, though, she’s hoping to clear her name with Dave Grohl’s fans. Love sat down for a chat on The Magnificent Others, a podcast hosted by Billy Corgan, and brought up a feud that has captivated rock fans for decades.

During the chat, Love mentioned ending her feud with Dave Grohl in 2014, noting that they’ve spent time together since and that there is absolutely no issue. Still, Love does wish Grohl would publicly acknowledge that they’ve mended fences. She insists that Grohl’s silence on the matter has caused his fans to continue to “pick” on her. Love seemed to imply that one demographic of his fanbase is worse than others. She mentioned that straight millennial men are some of her biggest haters. Apparently, Gen Z has been more forgiving.

Why were they feuding in the first place?

Courtney Love insists she and Dave Grohl reached a truce years ago, but fans are still arguing over what led to their very fierce, very public beef in the first place. It’s a question they are likely never going to get an answer to. The former friends have never confirmed what actually led to their feud. Still, fans have long insisted that money, Love’s influence on Kurt Cobain, and a massive blowup in the early 1990s were the catalysts.

While neither has explained exactly what happened, Love and Grohl did have a very public and very tense arguement at Pachyderm Studios in February 1993. Nirvana was recording In Utero at the time. While the fight has been mentioned multiple times, including in “Come as You Are,” the source of the conflict is never addressed. Still, it’s largely considered the origin of their famous feud. Cobain’s death, less than a year and a half later, cemented their distaste for each other. Legal battles didn’t mellow things either.

Despite Courtney Love’s plea, Dave Grohl has yet to comment on the situation.
