'Our '90s fever dreams were beautiful but they were also brutal and only the good girls, like Melissa, have the guts to tell you that' Shirley Manson
'As if through the lens of her camera, Melissa shows us a female experience of rock and roll' Martha Wainwright
'Intimate, poetic' Walton Goggins
Thanks to a thrown beer bottle and a fan letter to a P.O. box, Melissa Auf der Maur's first band scored an opening slot for the Smashing Pumpkins in her bohemian home town, Montreal. Sensing Melissa's talent, Billy Corgan recommended her to Courtney Love. Whisked from her local scene, Melissa joined Hole just after the deaths of Kurt Cobain and Hole's prior bassist, Kristen Pfaff, with the just-widowed Courtney Love at the centre of it all.
That was only the beginning of Melissa's journey through alternative rock, a trip she undertook alongside 90s luminaries including Rufus Wainwright, Michael Stipe and her former boyfriend, Dave Grohl.
Even the Good Girls Will Cry is a vivid dispatch from the last analogue decade, capturing that bygone era in all its messy, angsty glory.

Goddess of 90s Rock
Melissa Auf der Maur writes about her life as a woman in the (90s) rock world and making history doing so. Through her magical love of the power of music she finds her way into Hole, Courtney Love's band, right after the release of their second record "Live Through This" and later on The Smashing Pumpkins. She plays stages all around the world and experiences not only the glory but also brutal side of being in the (mainstream) spotlight and said 90s music scene. This memoir is rough and honest and I loved every single bit of it - Melissa highlights her growing up in Montreal and the upcoming 90s music scene there as well as her love for photography and merges writing with her pictures, which she took along the road. I carved myself into a massiv female led-grunge hole with this gem and can't stop listening to bands like Hole, L7, Babes in Toyland... and am super stoked for her upcoming photography book "My '90s Rock Photographs".
