Eric Erlandson

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eric T. Erlandson (born January 9, 1963, in Los Angeles, California) was the co-founder of and lead guitarist for 90's rock/grunge band Hole. He grew up in San Pedro, where he was picked on for being lanky and pale.

Before joining Hole, Erlandson used to work for Capitol Records doing Paul McCartney and Tina Turner's royalties. He was friend to Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love, and at one time dated actress Drew Barrymore, who is the godmother of Cobain and Love's daughter Frances Bean. He also had a relationship with Hole bassist Kristen Pfaff who died from a heroin overdose, two months after the release of Hole's second album, Live Through This.

Eric remains good friends with Melissa Auf der Maur, and played guitar on one track (Would If I Could) from her 2004 solo album Auf Der Maur. Over the years, he's worked with Bijou Philips, John Wolfington, Everett True and Rodney Bingenheimer.

Eric has practiced Nichiren Shoshu Buddhism since 1991. Currently, he is studying creative writing, and Tai Chi in Los Angeles.
