Courtney Love hits out at Fred Durst

Courtney Love launched a verbal attack on Limp Bizkit star Fred Durst at a recent concert, blaming him for "the worst years in rock history".

The singer was performing at the US Edgefest festival with her band Hole when she criticised Durst, who was headlining the event with his group.

According to Contact Music, Love said at the end of her set: "I have to say, as much as I like Fred, he brought about the worst years in rock history. That just be a fact, OK?"

Mocking Limp Bizkit's 1999 hit 'Nookie', she said: "'I did it for the nookie!' I did not do it for the nookie, I did it for the rock! I'm just saying, man, he's a nice guy, but Jesus!"

Love then pointed out a concert-goer who was wearing a baseball cap similar to one Durst wore at the height of his fame.

She said: "I see [a] guy with [a] backwards baseball cap. Dude, you! You scare me! You make me feel like you're going to rape me or something, and all my children! You did it for the nookie, dude in the red baseball hat!

"Do you know one word to one [Hole] song? That is so lame. I'm so sorry, you're here for the nookie! I could beat your ass."
