Title: Melissa Auf der Maur Post by: BlowUpYourVideo on July 05, 2010, 09:10:36 AM Anyone else a fan? She used to be the bassist for Hole, and now has a solo career. Her first album seemed to get alright reviews but I think it's got a lot of great songs on it. :yes: Two favourites of mine are Lightning Is My Girl (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySUXy5BBqRs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySUXy5BBqRs)) and Beast Of Honor (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCmbV6Pm6o (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWCmbV6Pm6o)).
Her new album, Out Of Our Minds, is pretty good too. It's supposed to be a concept album but that doesn't put me off. :P (Follow the Map - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0KfhTXPwSA (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u0KfhTXPwSA)) Hopefully it won't be another six year gap until her next album. :peace: Title: Re: Melissa Auf der Maur Post by: Voodoochild on July 05, 2010, 11:55:43 AM She was a member on Smashing Pumpkins too. She's great, I remember watching a video of her solo album here on MTV Brasil and people were all amazed because she's also pretty. :)

Her first album really is good. A lot of reviews seem lukewarm though. Phillistines!
