Inside Courtney Love's curious friendship with Lana Del Rey: Hole rocker goes from comparing her to 'genius' Kurt Cobain to slating her publicly by saying she 'needs to take seven years off'


Courtney Love and Lana Del Rey's bizarre relationship took another turn this week when their on-off friendship seemed to evaporate once again in the blink of an eye.

'She should really take seven years off,' Love vented in an interview that also included major jabs at Taylor Swift and Madonna, even as she admitted that she had to stop listening to Del Rey while recording her latest album because she was being influenced too much. She compared the critically acclaimed performance to how her late husband had transformed three songs by the multifaceted alternative band Meat Puppets when he covered them during Nirvana's famed MTV Unplugged special, via People. In December of last year, Del Rey paid tribute to Denver by covering his song Take Me Home, Country Roads, which seems to have been the precipitating event for Love to distance herself.
