Washington,
July 18 (ANI): Courtney Love has been blasted by her former Hole bandmate over
her plan to release solo material under the group’s name.

Guitarist Eric
Erlandson - who founded the group with the singer and left in 2002 - thinks
that Love shouldn’t use the band’s name for her solo projects.

He also hinted that he would be ready to
reunite with the rest of the group.

“There is
no Hole without me. If Courtney has a solo album together, I think that’s
great. I think she should finish it and put it out and do that. But as for the
real Hole? I’m open to discussions,” Contactmusic quoted Erlandson as
telling Spin magazine.

Later, Love
posted on her Twitter page about Eric’s comments, insisting the band name
belongs to her.

She wrote: “Uh I just hear that a
former guitar player is saying I can’t use my name for MY band, he’s out of his
MIND. He may want to check the trademark and his amex ‘Disease Model Tour’
Bills, and umm, let’s see his 99 usage of that amex and his 01 usage of wow
298K?198,000 DOLLARS? Hole is MY Band, MY name and MY Tradmark. (sic)”

Former bassist
Melissa auf der Maur is also against Love’s decision, and says “You can’t
take a Hole reunion that lightly.” (ANI)
