Following the tour, Capitol Records was taken over by EMI. All of the material that had been recorded for "Auf der Maur", including outtakes, demos and rehearsal recordings, were seized by EMI's red tape. Following months of negotiations, Auf der Maur won the rights to the recordings and was subsequently dropped from Capitol/EMI in 2006. Reflecting on the experience, Auf der Maur said there is "a gross feeling when you merge your heart with a corporate structure." Auf der Maur took the experience into consideration when considering labels to release "Auf der Maur"'s follow-up, "Out of Our Minds" (2010), which was self-released.
During her time as a DJ at Bifteck, Auf der Maur met several musicians who frequented the bar. After the bar closed, musicians would often use it as a rehearsal space for late-night jam sessions. During one session, Auf der Maur met fellow Concordia University student Steve Durand, with whom she formed Tinker in November 1993. Durand assumed guitar duties and Auf der Maur began playing bass, using a Fender Precision Bass that her father had purchased for her 21st birthday.[6] The duo recruited a second guitarist, Jordon Zadorozny, and a drummer and began performing at Montreal venues.[9]
Following her departure from Hole in November 1999, Melissa Auf der Maur was recruited as the replacement bassist for D'arcy Wretzky in The Smashing Pumpkins in early 2000. Auf der Maur toured with the band for the "Sacred and Profane" tour in support of "Machina/The Machines of God" (2000) and appeared in the music videos accompanying its release. In May 2000, The Smashing Pumpkins disbanded and Auf der Maur did not have plans to continue her music career. In an interview with Jam!, Auf der Maur said: "one of the reasons why I took 2001 off is I didn't even know what I was going to do with music. Maybe I was going to play in a cover band the rest of my life" and that her "relationship to music had become very army-oriented. I was a soldier, a hard worker who never got enough satisfaction from the music. I didn't know if I was going to make my own record." In late 2001, Auf der Maur discovered "old demos" in her Montréal residence and "realized [she] had an entire album's worth of material that had been sitting there for years." Among the demos was "Real a Lie", a song written with frequent collaborator Steve Durand, that was released as a single by the duo's former band Tinker in 1994. Auf der Maur said that the decision to record an album "happened very naturally."
VH1 placed Auf der Maur at number 68 on its list of 100 Greatest Women of Rock & Roll in 2007[4] and her solo albums have received favorable reviews.[5]

In June 2009, NME reported that Hole was reforming. Love claimed that Auf der Maur was rejoining as bassist to record on her upcoming album Nobody's Daughter—which was being rebranded as a Hole album—and performing on the supporting tour.[26] Auf der Maur stated that she was "surprised and disappointed" by the announcement and had no intention of partaking in the reformed band.[27] Despite several legal issues, Nobody's Daughter was released as Hole's fourth studio album in April 2010 with Shawn Dailey replacing Auf der Maur as bassist.
