Men In Rock - Eric Erlandson

---

We say bah to the objectifying, ghettoizing, condescending - we could g on - "women in rock" phenomenon. And where does it leave the poor men? Gigi Guerra turns the tables.


Hole's Eric Erlandson
Age: 36
Did you have to work harder to get where you are because you're a man? "Yeah, I just dream of the day when it's dollar-per-dollar in my band. I get 48 cents for Courtney Love's dollar."
What's your favorite fashion accessory? "Armlets made by cutting the toes off socks."
How do you cope on a bad-hair day? "It's usually because it's too clean, so I put Kiehl's Silk Groom in or something."
So you're a product man? "I don't put on base or anything. I'm not like Marilyn Manson, where they walk around and take their little compacts with them everywhere."
Is it difficult being a man in rock today? "What the hell are you talking about?"
