Courtney Love has opened up about the rivalry that existed between Nirvana and Pearl Jam, admitting that Pearl Jam pissed Nirvana off.
"Chris Cornell, Mark Arm, Eddie Vedder, and Kurt [Cobain], there was a rivalry," Love told National Geographic. "There was a rivalry to have your voice be heard, and be successful, but to have your voice be heard. I remember when Pearl Jam beat Nirvana onto the cover of Time, and that pissed Kurt off, let me tell you."
During the interview, Love also admitted that a number of songs from 1990's were written about her.
"I listen to Lithium, which is like all of the '90s songs and a lot of them are actually about me, which is interesting," she said. "There's so many Smashing Pumpkins songs about me, there's a Bush song about me."
