The Hole frontwoman Courtney Love recently reflected on her friendship with Scott Weiland. During an appearance on The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan podcast, she emphasized that their relationship was strictly platonic and built on their shared struggles with drug addiction.
Love then noted that she frequently tried to help him navigate his challenges. Additionally, she mentioned that Weiland wrote two songs about her—including “Too Cool Queenie”—which she felt were “mean,” though she acknowledges his significant talent as a songwriter.
Love said, “Scott Weiland, my friend, my drug buddy, my friend. Nothing romantic, just my buddy, right? Saved him from Cry Help once, probably to his detriment. But in any event, wrote two songs about me. One’s called Too Cool Queenie something else. And we’re buddies and they’re mean.”
She added, “And I’m like, Scott, what the f*** are you doing? Why you write me music? It’s like listen it’s lazy but you’re too good to not write songs about like why like the suicide blonde thing the movie star thing and like all the the fact that you’ve had [gasps] it was crazy like why have you written mean songs about me Scott and we were friends.”
