“If you lined up Jimmy Page, Jonny Greenwood, and Will Sergeant, I’d pick Sergeant every time”: Courtney Love on why Echo & the Bunnymen's Will Sergeant is her “favorite guitarist on Earth”

Courtney Love of Hole performs on stage at Brixton Academy on May 5, 2010 in London, England. She plays a Rickenbacker 360 guitar.

Grunge superstar Courtney Love has been busy. In addition to releasing her own rendition of Tim Buckley’s Song to the Siren with 070 Shake, reuniting with Hole's Melissa Auf der Maur in the studio, and auctioning the handwritten lyrics to the band's 1994 classic Violet, Love has also found time to work on a solo album – her first since 2004’s America’s Sweetheart – featuring Echo & the Bunnymen’s Will Sergeant.

“Will Sergeant, my favorite guitarist on earth, from my favorite band agreed to work with me!” Love tells UK newspaper, The Standard [the piece misspells Sergeant’s name].
