Courtney Love made her live comeback this weekend in Los Angeles.

The former Hole frontwoman played alongside Billy Corgan of the Smashing Pumpkins and songwriter Linda Perry at the Gay and Lesbian Community Centre benefit, says the NME.

Love told the website: "Billy and me have never been onstage before and it was intense. His guitar parts are haunting and beautiful. It was me, him, Linda and two thousand lesbians and the songs are dramatically different from the demos. It was f**king historic, Billy played 'Can't Find My Way Home' by Blind Faith and Linda played 'Beautiful' and 'What's Going On. It was such a cool living room vibe."

She added: "It's hard to sell six-minute new songs and you could have heard a pin drop although apparently there was speculation about whether I was wearing underwear. Look I've been wearing short skirts onstage forever and and obviously I wear panties. Christ!"

Love performed new songs 'Sunset Marquis' and 'Pacific Coast Highway' at the gig. She is currently working on her second solo album.
