In the late 1980s Pearl joined Love/Hate, which achieved notoriety for performances as the house band at the Whiskey A Go-Go in Hollywood. The group subsequently signed to Sony Records. Love/Hate released 5 albums with Pearl.
Following the break up of Love/Hate he sang on the L.A. Guns album Shrinking Violet prior to the band reuniting the Original Lineup
Jizzy Pearl has released 2 solo albums, Just A Boy and Vegas Must Die. Vegas Must Die was released on July 19th 2005 on Shrapnel Records. The album contains eleven songs. Jizzy produced the album which was engineered by Michael Lardie of Great White/Night Ranger.
His vocal style has changed considerably over the years, with only the opener, 'Hit And Miss' serving up the patented Jizzy whine. But his voice is a lot richer, and he takes different tones to different tunes, almost playing characters in his own stories.
Besides singing and songwriting Jizzy has also turned his hand to story writing, writing 3 books to date "I Got More Crickets Than Friends", "Angst For The Memories" - and 2006's, "Unhappy Endings", a collection of short stories, all of which are all slightly twisted, bizarre.
On December 4, 2006 Pearl announced that he is no longer a member of Ratt on his website's message board.
In early 2007 Pearl announced he will reunite with Love/Hate for the first time in ten years, on February 24, 2007 at Club Vodka in Hollywood, California to perform their classic record "Black out in the Red Room" in its entirety.
As of 2010, he continues to preform with Love/Hate along with reuniting with Tracii Guns in L.A. Guns
Jizzy Pearl is back in 2021 with a third single titled “Gonna Take You Higher” in advance of his upcoming album HELL, CA, which will be released under the band name Jizzy Pearl's Love/Hate via Golden Robot Records on February 11, 2022.
Bad Medicine
Jizzy Pearl Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad medicine
I ain't got a fever, got a permanent disease
And it'll take more than a doctor to prescribe a remedy
Gonna take more than a shot to get this poison out of me
And I got all the symptoms count 'em 1,2,3
First you need, then you bleed, and when you're on your knees
(That's what you get for falling in love
You get a little but it's never enough
That what you get for falling in love)
Now, this boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug, whoa
Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Bad, bad medicine
I don't need no needle to be givin' me a thrill
And I don't need no anesthesia or a nurse to bring a pill
I got a dirty down addiction that doesn't leave a track
I got a jones for your affection like a monkey on my back
There ain't no paramedic gonna save this heart attack
When you need, then you bleed, on you knees
(That's what you get for falling in love
You get a little but it's never enough
That what get for falling in love)
This boy's addicted 'cause your kiss is the drug, whoa
Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
So let's play doctor, baby
Bad medicine
It's what I want. Bad, bad medicine
Ow, it's what I need
I need a respirator 'cause I'm running out of breath
You're an all night generator wrapped in stockings and a dress
When you find your medicine you take what you can get
'Cause if there's something better baby well they hav'n't found it yet
Whoa
Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine
There ain't no doctor that can cure my disease
Your love is like bad medicine, bad medicine is what I need, whoa
Shake it up just like bad medicine

Bad, bad medicine is what I want
Bad bad medicine. Oo baby, oo babe

Hold on I'm not done. One more time. With feeling

The lyrics to Jizzy Pearl's song "Bad Medicine" describe a man who is addicted to a woman's love. He compares her love to "bad medicine" because he knows it is not good for him but he can't help but crave it. The man describes his addiction as a disease that cannot be cured by any doctor. He has tried everything, including money, but nothing can cure him of his addiction. The man is constantly on the edge, knowing that the woman's love is both the problem and the solution.
The verses outline the man's physical and mental condition caused by his addiction to the woman's love. He has a permanent disease, and it takes more than a doctor's remedy to heal him. He is addicted to her kiss, and her love is like a drug to him, making it difficult to break away from her. The song urges the woman to be the cure to his disease, to shake it up, to be his "bad medicine."
Overall, "Bad Medicine" is a reflection of the complexities of romantic relationships, highlighting how love can be addictive, even bad for us, but we still crave it, and sometimes we just can't help ourselves.
