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 original lineup reunited 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. The show sold out, with an audience of 1,500
The band continues to play One Off Shows and short tours with 3/4 of the original band.

Love/Hate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take off your shirt - take off your pants
Take off your stockings - take off your bra
Take off your makeup and let's see it all
Now peel on the spinning wheel
Say you are a singer - come and sing
Take off your necklace - take off your rings
Take off your perfume want to see your nakedness
Now peel on the spinning wheel
In your set of three you can be anything you want to be
In your set of three you think of me anything you want now peel
Say you are a dancer - come and dance
Take off your shirt - take off your pants
Take off your stockings - take off your bra
Take off your makeup and let's see it all
Now peel on the spinning wheel
Now peel get on your poles and ride
"Spinning Wheel" by Love/Hate is a provocative and sensual song that encourages individuals to embrace their inner desires and shed their inhibitions. The lyrics illustrate the concept of peeling away the layers that society and individuals have placed on them, and revealing their true selves. The use of provocative language such as "take off your shirt," "take off your pants," and "take off your makeup," creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability. The spinning wheel represents the freedom and liberation that comes from letting go of societal expectations and embracing one's true self. The chorus emphasizes the idea that individuals can be anything they want to be, and the spinning wheel is a tool to help them achieve that.
The song is also about the power dynamic between men and women in sexual relationships. The lyrics encourage women to take control of their sexuality and show off their nakedness freely. The use of the phrase "get on your poles and ride" reinforces the idea that women have the power to control their sexual experiences and that they can show off their bodies without shame. Additionally, the song encourages the individuals to engage in the activity together, whether it be dancing or singing. The call and response structure of the lyrics create a sense of community and togetherness.

I remember cutting this video but what I remember better about that time period was cutting every drum track to that record in one single session with no overdubs and no splicing. I drummed my ass off for a month to prep for that record. Just played the Whisky in Hollywood two Saturday nights ago with Pearl for a 30 year anniversary show of our first record release - Blackout. He can still sing. It was epic fun and I still loved drumming to Spinning Wheel.

That's a hell of an achievement.. my band is still finishing the writing of our songs while we record them. Haha

I remember buying the record.i was buying classic albums on weekly basis in 92 and got this in a whim. I was disappointed because it wasn't major league quality more like great demo quality but it is a great record I reach out for regularly. Kinda grungy like other classic albums sound of white noise art of Rebellion motley crue subhuman race dogman.Even dream theaters awake has grunge influences on tracks like lie and caught in a Web. This was one instance where the a and r guys were bang on the money.
Great job on the drum tracks especially wrong side of the grape lol.

ECW. The crowd needed a diversion. Thank this song and Kimona for that.

Love/Hate was a totally underrated band. Lumped in with the LA scene, but they were so much more heavy and diverse. Even a sleazy song like this is just HEAVY.
@robh.5595
I remember hearing this in heavy rotation back in 93-94 on Z--Rock...shame they never got the recognition they deserved.
@favorites51066
