Soon after being dropped, Skid sold his car to finance a third album. Lets Rumble was recorded in a few days and the band went on a 9 week US club tour. BMG picked up the album and released it in the UK, which was followed by a 3 week UK tour. However, the label didn't want to release the album in the US. The band sent the album to a number of labels, but with the rise of Grunge their style of rock was out of fashion and there was no interest.
Eventually they signed with a minor label to release Lets Rumble, but it was to be delayed till the following January. In an unfortunate turn, their manager gave a copy of the album to the KNAC radio station in LA, where the lead single "Spinning Wheel" started to get heavy airplay. But the band were unable to release it in the USA either as a single or an album and despite playing to packed audiences in LA they were unable to capitalise on this popularity.
Love/Hate is one of those bands that was always on the brink of success and never seemed to break into the mainstream. Sure, some songs got air play like "Blackout In The Red Room" and "Don't Fuck With Me." But the band was not getting spun as frequently as say Bon Jovi or Guns N'Roses. But they did develop a solid fan base and continued to release albums, and to this day continue to tour.
Skid is the song writer of this band yet Jizzy Pearl is the lead singer. Jizzy's pipes are so impressive he has since been the front man of L.A. Guns for a few years in the late 90's and currently is tearing it up as Ratt's front man and is even working with Steven Adler in a Guns N'Roses style band called Adler's Appetite.
Let's Rumble is the band's third album following 1990's Blackout In The Red Room and 1992's Wasted In America. Those two albums, widely considered "hair metal" albums, are somewhat indicative of what this album is about. Yes, it is hair metal, but there just is something new and impressive about this album, with some pretty cool songs on this album, my personal favorite being "Spinning Wheel." This song is clearly about a stripper and the lyrics aren't vague by any means. But its rock 'n' roll, do they really have to be abstract? Other cool songs include "Let's Rumble," "Devil's Squaw," and "Sexical."
The musicianship is solid and Jizzy sounds amazing as always.
