You can\u2019t force, organise, or plan these things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do know is I\u2019ve always said no for many years, and it wasn\u2019t until the Evil Empire in the US that I began to contemplate where Hole, and Courtney\u2019s fearless feminism, and our generation, could maybe add to this dire dialogue in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cSome of my interest in returning to Hole in any shape or form is because the world needs that kind of power, rebellion, and intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the chat, the bassist recalled the aforementioned Lollapalooza 1995, hailing the festival as \u201cthe height of so much great individuality and bands, and then it started getting corporate after that\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was beautiful, other than some of the fucked-up shit like shotgun shells being thrown at the stage. That sucked,\u201d she told <em>NME<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Auf der Maur had previously sparked fresh speculation of another Hole comeback with a mysterious video online. However, Love subsequently clarified the meaning behind the teaser \u2013 confirming that \u201cno Hole reunion\u201d was on the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap

You can\u2019t force, organise, or plan these things.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat I do know is I\u2019ve always said no for many years, and it wasn\u2019t until the Evil Empire in the US that I began to contemplate where Hole, and Courtney\u2019s fearless feminism, and our generation, could maybe add to this dire dialogue in the US.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She added: \u201cSome of my interest in returning to Hole in any shape or form is because the world needs that kind of power, rebellion, and intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Elsewhere in the chat, the bassist recalled the aforementioned Lollapalooza 1995, hailing the festival as \u201cthe height of so much great individuality and bands, and then it started getting corporate after that\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was beautiful, other than some of the fucked-up shit like shotgun shells being thrown at the stage. That sucked,\u201d she told <em>NME<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>Auf der Maur had previously sparked fresh speculation of another Hole comeback with a mysterious video online. However, Love subsequently clarified the meaning behind the teaser \u2013 confirming that \u201cno Hole reunion\u201d was on the horizon.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/news\/music\/melissa-auf-der-maur-announces-book-of-my-90s-rock-photographs-3953466&#8243;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/www.nme.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/MelissaAufderMaurMy90sRockPhotographs-announcement-news-story.jpg&#8221;] NewsMusic News Melissa Auf der Maur announces book of \u2018My \u201990s Rock Photographs\u2019 The &#8220;intimate&#8221; look at the &#8217;90s alt-rock scene will be accompanied by an exhibition of the same name By Tom Skinner 26th June 2026 Melissa Auf der Maur \u2013 &#8216;My \u201990s Rock Photographs&#8217;.
