...Lady Peace's live performance magnified their level of ostentatious posturing. Lead singer Raine Maida achieved neither the dreamy falsetto of Radiohead's Thom Yorke nor the endearing whininess of Smashing Pumpkin's Billy Corgan, but instead settled for a lesser euphony in between. Unlike tours associated with their previous albums Naveed and Clumsy, Maida spent much of the set without a guitar in his hands.

...during the making of Skin, Billy Corgan, leader of the alternative band Smashing Pumpkins and the man behind this year's half-brilliant album Adore, was invited by Love to give Hole musical pointers.
