Celebrity Skin is a song by Hole. Courtney Love wrote this about the pressures of being a public figure. Eric Erlandson has later revealed through posts on the fan site Kittyradio.com's message boards that he was very uncomfortable and displeased with Billy Corgan's involvement on the record. All guitar riffs were written by Erlandson and all lyrics were handled by Love and Corgan, who also played bass on several tracks. (thanks, Jeremy - Shelbyville, KY, for above 2) There was California Rock band called Celebrity Skin in the '90s who may have inspired the title for this.
