But by 1992's Wasted in America, heavy metal had become commercially passé and Columbia dropped them soon after its release.Jizzy Pearl used himself in a legendary publicity stunt to help album sales. This stunt, with the help of a few others, included Jizzy successfully erecting a cross on the Hollywood Sign and positioned himself on it. Love/Hate moved to the Caliber label and released Let's Rumble in May 1994, an album much more raw than their previous material featuring Darren Housholder on Guitar replacing Jon E. Love. Another label switch, to Mayhem Records, resulted in October 1995's I'm Not Happy featuring the return of Jon E. Love. In 1997 the band released Livin' off Layla. During the Livin' Off Layla sessions Jizzy Pearl left for the first time breifly replaced my Mark Torien of Bulletboys. 1999 saw the release of Let's Eat with Jizzy back on vocals and Joey Gold on Drums

The band continues to play One Off Shows and short tours with 3/4 of the original band.
Cream
Love/Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She put me in a spell
She told all her friends
I could do her well
Took her in the alley
Laid her on the trash
Then she told me everything
Put your corner on working girl
Smudged makeup around your eyes
First you want it get
You want it come and get it
You need it all the time
Nymphomaniac in black
She wants your peaches
But all you get is cream
All you get is cream
All you get is
Put your red dress on working girl
Got another spot on your dress
First you hold me
You hurt me
You bite me
Then you burn me
You work me overtime
Nymphomaniac in black
She wants your peaches
But all you get is cream
All you get is cream
All you get is cream
How many times can I say that I want you
How many times can I pass you by
And dare I look inside the sullen door of many colors
Thousands of seed lights glowing inside my head
And I can't...
Put your corner on working girl
smudged makeup around your eyes
First you want it get it
You want it come and get it
You want it all the time
Nymphomaniac in black
She wants your peaches
But all you get is cream
All you get is cream
Nymphomaniac in black
She wants your peaches
But all you get is cream
All you get is cream
All you get is cream
And so I walked on down the hall
And found myself passionless and not quite able
To take myself seriously
Now you and I know that I know that you know
That everybody around me is lyin' and cryin' and dyin'
The Love/Hate song "Cream" is a narrative of a sexual encounter with a woman named Aphrodisia. The opening verse describes her spell on the singer, as she tells all her friends that he can please her. The second verse then moves onto the alley, where they take their encounter, and she shares everything with him. The chorus reinforces the idea that she may be a "nymphomaniac in black" and may be after his "peaches" or the pleasure he can give her, but all he gets is "cream."
The third verse follows a similar narrative to the second, with the addition of more detail about her physical appearance, such as her smudged makeup and red dress. The chorus repeats, and the song ends with a reflective tone from the singer, questioning his ability to connect with Aphrodisia and admitting that everyone around him may be deceitful.
One could interpret the song as a commentary on the imbalance of power within sexual experiences, with Aphrodisia seemingly using the singer for her own pleasure without reciprocation. The repeated use of "cream" could also be symbolic of his frustration with not receiving satisfaction from the encounter.
