The band had a revolving line-up of bassists and drummers, their most prolific being drummer Patty Schemel, and bassists Kristen Pfaff (d. 1994) and Melissa Auf der Maur. In 2002 the group disbanded to pursue other projects. Eight years later in 2010, Hole was reformed by Love with new members, despite Erlandson's claim that the reformation breached a mutual contract he had with Love. The reformed band released the album Nobody's Daughter, which had originally been conceived as Love's second solo album. In 2013, Love retired the Hole name, releasing new material and touring as a solo artist.
Hole has been noted for being one of the most commercially successful female-fronted rock bands of all time, selling over three million records in the United States alone and having a far-reaching influence on contemporary female artists. Music and feminist scholars have also recognized the band as the most high-profile musical group of the 1990s to discuss gender issues in their songs, due to Love's aggressive and violent lyrical content, which often addressed themes of body image, abuse, and sexual exploitation.
Hole went on to become the most commercially successful female-fronted grunge band in history, selling over 3 million records in the United States between 1991 and 2010. In spite of Love's often polarizing reputation in the media, Hole received consistent critical praise for their output, and was often noted for the predominant feminist commentary found in Love's lyrics, which scholars have credited as "articulating a third-wave feminist consciousness". Love's subversive onstage persona and public image coincided with the band's songs, which expressed "pain, sorrow, and anger, but [an] underlying message of survival, particularly survival in the face of overwhelming circumstances." Music journalist Maria Raha expressed a similar sentiment in regard to the band's significance to third-wave feminism, stating, "Whether you love Courtney [Love] or hate her, Hole was the highest-profile female-fronted band of the '90s to openly and directly sing about feminism."
While Rolling Stone compared the effect of Love's marriage to Kurt Cobain on the band to that of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, they noted that "Love's confrontational stage presence, as well as her gut-wrenching vocals and powerful punk-pop songcraft, made her an alternative-rock star in her own right." Author Nick Wise made a similar comparison in discussion of the band's public image, stating, "Not since Yoko Ono's marriage to John Lennon has a woman's personal life and exploits within the rock arena been so analyzed and dissected." The band has been cited as a major influence on several contemporary artists, including indie singer songwriter Scout Niblett, Brody Dalle of the Distillers and Spinnerette, Sky Ferreira, Lana Del Rey, Tove Lo, Tegan and Sara, and the British rock band Nine Black Alps. The band ranked at #77 of VH1's 100 Greatest Hard Rock Artists.

Hole Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I'll do anything
And I'll take the blame
What's mine is yours
You can have all of it
And I'll learn to pay
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Tonight
I want what's yours
Oh I'd give anything
And I'll take the pain
I wait alone
For what will never come
And I'll throw it all away
Oh the boys on the radio
They crash and burn
They fold and fade so slow
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds
If I let you in under my skin
And risen every angel slain
He said he'd never, ever, ever go
And heavens, heavens, heavens know
And never, ever, ever go away
Baby, I've gone away
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When you're beautiful and dying
All the world that you've denied
When the water is too deep
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
Your beauty blinds
I know what you are running to
Please come back
Oh, come back again
I hear the truth
It's coming from you
Oh, come back
Won't come back again
In your endless summer night
I'll be on the other side
When the water is too deep
I will ease your suffering
When the glitter fades in morning
Turn away and you will find my empty eyes
Your beauty blinds
I know that you are rotten to the core
I know that you don't love me anymore
I know that you are rotten to the core
The lyrics to Hole's song "All The Boys On The Radio" describe a person who is willing to do anything for the one they love, even if it means taking the blame for their actions or giving up everything they have. The singer seems to be obsessed with someone who is too caught up in their own world to notice them. They are aware of the boys on the radio who fade away slowly and crash and burn, but the person they are addressing is too blinded by their own beauty to see it. The singer is willing to be there for them even when they are dying and all the world that they've denied. They describe themselves waiting for something that will never come and throwing away everything for this person. The lyrics are desperate and full of unrequited love.
The line "If I let you in under my skin and risen every angel slain" is particularly interesting as it is a play on words. "Risen every angel slain" means resurrecting every fallen angel while "risen every angle slain" means looking at every situation from different perspectives. This could be interpreted as the singer being willing to do anything to make this person happy, whether it is to resurrect past events or to come up with new solutions to their problems.
Another interesting line is "Your beauty blinds." It describes how the singer is unable to see this person for who they are beyond their looks. It could also be interpreted as how this person is blinded by their own beauty and unable to see the truth.
The song was co-written by Courtney Love and Eric Erlandson and is from Hole's third studio album, "Celebrity Skin," which was released in 1998. It was produced by Michael Beinhorn, known for his work with Soundgarden and Red Hot Chili Peppers. The album was a commercial success and received critical acclaim.

Do what you want
I am willing to comply with anything you ask of me
'Cause I'll do anything
I am willing to go to great lengths to please you
And I'll take the blame
I am willing to accept responsibility for whatever goes wrong
What's mine is yours
I am willing to share everything I have with you
You can have all of it
You can take everything I possess
And I'll learn to pay
I am willing to suffer the consequences of my actions
Oh the boys on the radio
The successful men on the radio
They crash and burn
Their careers often end in failure
They fold and fade so slow
Their popularity slowly diminishes over time
In your endless summer night
During your carefree and enjoyable nights
I'll be on the other side
I will be there to support you
When you're beautiful and dying
When you are at your peak of success but also struggling
All the world that you've denied
All the people and things you have rejected
When the water is too deep
When the situation is too difficult to handle
You can close your eyes and really sleep tonight
You can rest easy knowing that I am here for you
Tonight
This evening
I want what's yours
I desire what you have
Oh I'd give anything
I am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my desires
And I'll take the pain
I am willing to endure any suffering for you
I wait alone
I am alone and waiting for you
For what will never come
For something that will never happen
And I'll throw it all away
I am willing to sacrifice everything for you
If I let you in under my skin
If I let you deeply affect me emotionally
And risen every angel slain
I have given up everything for you
He said he'd never, ever, ever go
He promised to never leave
And heavens, heavens, heavens know
Everyone, including God, knows
And never, ever, ever go away
And never leave me
Baby, I've gone away
But he has left me
I know what you are running to
I am aware of what you are pursuing
Please come back
Please return to me
Oh, come back again
Please come back to me again
I hear the truth
I know what the real situation is
It's coming from you
I am learning the truth from you
Won't come back again
I fear that you won't return
In your endless summer night
During your happy and carefree times
When the water is too deep
When you are struggling too much
I will ease your suffering
I will try to alleviate your pain
When the glitter fades in morning
When the excitement and success wears off
Turn away and you will find my empty eyes
If you leave, I will have nothing left
Your beauty blinds
Your attractiveness can be overwhelming
I know that you are rotten to the core
I understand that you are fundamentally flawed
I know that you don't love me anymore
I realize that you no longer have feelings for me
I know that you are rotten to the core
I understand that you are fundamentally flawed
