Asking For It

Asking For It

Asking For It is the fourth track from Hole's major label debut,"Live Through This". The song is a notable track from the band as it was not released as a single, yet it made a brief, four week appearance on the Hot Modern Rock Tracks chart in early 1995, peaking at number 36.

His vocals are still heard on the official version, but aren't as strong.
