    She dated her bandmate, Eric Erlandson.
    She died in a bathtub from a drug overdose at 27, like Jim Morrison.
    She was scolded by Courtney, saying 'You fuck my guitar player, constantly make eyes at my husband and now you’re telling me how to sing. Just don’t fuck with me because you’ll regret it forever.'
    Before her death, she was ready to join her old band, Janitor Joe.
    Her mother said of her leaving Hole: 'She wasn't quitting Hole, she was quitting Courtney.'
    She often fell asleep in her bathtub.
    She was found on June 16th, the day after her death.

Why she might not be annoying:

    Kurt Cobain described her as a 'fucking talented musician' and a 'beautiful soul.'
    She had been to rehab before to get help with her heroin addiction.
    Her friends from college created the 'Kristen Pfaff Memorial Scholarship Fund,' awarding an applicant a $1,000 scholarship to the Minnesota Music Academy.

    She was outspoken.
