Courtney Love did the most shocking thing she possibly could have ever done at the Hiro Ballroom on Thursday evening; she played a normal concert! The peroxide princess' return to New York City was completely without drama.

An anorexic looking Courtney took the stage around 11:30pm with her new backing band in hopes of previewing some of her Linda Perry/Billy Corgan written music. The thing is, it seems that most people don't go to a Courtney Love show to actually see her perform. It's the spectacle, the insanity, the madness that people want. When she simply plays a normal show, like she did last night, the results were beyond sub-par. If she was a nobody playing this music, she'd be playing to an empty room.

And let's talk about how scary she looked! Those bone-thin arms gave me friggin nightmares. If she's not back on the junk, she certainly looks like it. Either that or she's taking way to many diet supplements. She just was all around gross looking. And her voice was weak as fuck. And she's a pisspoor guitarist.

I can't really applaud her for making it through a show without incident. I mean, is that really an accomplishment? Maybe for her, but that's not enough to make her music an accomplishment......
