Her 15 minutes are up.

Wouldn't surprise me if that's real.
She should date OJ.

[Chrome Aardvark]

Celebrity Rickenbacker abuse.

For some reason, people just love to hate on Courtney...


I don't think this is real though.

The guy posted an mp3 of the entire show of just isolated vocals and guitar. It matches the video, down to the hum of open strings when she takes her hand off the neck; I don't think it's faked.

If it's real, it's what punk's all about.

This does not surprise me. She probably was almost off in the house mix. She sounds like she never tuned the guitar.

I don't know what all the fuss is about. Personally, I'd be happy with a performance like that.

Prop guitar. Not meant to be heard. Says much more about the guy who posted it!

As an ex live sound guy, I think it is unfair to isolate individual channels in a live sound mix, and then broadcast them for general public consumption. If you want to do that you should also post the overall mix, and I bet it sounds fine. When you are doing live sound you often do a PFL (pre fade listen) with headphones to identify feedback or other issues. Sometimes the individual "talent" may not sound great but the overall sound will be good. Do the punters (audience) at the gig care? probably not, and that is what matters.
