\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div> \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\u00a9 Melissa Auf der Maur<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n \n\tEven the Good Girls Will Cry<\/em> is described as \u201cpart coming-of-age autobiography, part travel diary, part psychedelic scrapbook,\u201d with rare photographs, like the one above of Auf der Maur and Billy Corgan. \u201cI took this selfie side stage on the life-changing night that my little Montreal band opened up for them in 1993, on Siamese Dream<\/em> tour,\u201d Auf der Maur tells Rolling Stone. <\/em>\u201cAnd he told me one day I\u2019d be in his band.\u00a0He discovered me that night and recommended me to Courtney six months later, when Hole lost their bass player.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAuf der Maur expanded on the significance of the photo to Rolling Stone<\/em>:<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cCan I take our photo, Billy?\u201d I asked as he walked off the stage, the crowd was still screaming for more. I wrapped my arm around his sweaty, giant frame, and\u00a0SNAP. \u00a0I\u00a0captured\u00a0the innocence of a 21-year-old, music obsessed woman, side by side with her mentor.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n \n\tBilly had invited my band, Tinker, to be the local Montreal act on their Siamese Dream tour. I had just played to the biggest crowd of my life as a bass player so far. It was only our sixth show ever.\u00a0That opening slot changed my life, and had come to be because of a thrown beer bottle, and a fan letter I wrote to the Virgin Records PO Box.<\/em><\/p>\n \n\t\u201cOne day you\u2019ll be in my band,\u201d he said with a big smile. Even if we never saw each other again, that night I was given the confidence I needed, to commit to my bass and the lofty dream, of making music my life.<\/em><\/p>\n \t\tTrending Stories<\/p>\n<\/h2>\n<\/section>\n \n\tThe memoir<\/a>, available for preorder now<\/a>, also includes cameos by Stevie Nicks, Dave Grohl, Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe, Ben Stiller, and more.<\/p>\n \n\tEarlier this summer, Auf der Maur reunited <\/a>with Corgan onstage in Montreal, where she performed \u201cThe Everlasting Gaze\u201d alongside his Machines of God band. Though Love is insistent that Hole will not reunite, she\u2019s linked up<\/a> with Auf der Maur over the years (sadly, their appearance at a Planned Parenthood benefit<\/a> was cancelled due to the pandemic). Love is also expected<\/a> to release a memoir soon.<\/p>\n\n
