Love/Hate @ Riverside		Too long ago to remember vividly but imprinted as one of the most memorable and energetic gigs I've ever experienced and I'm no novice. The band were like a tornado of swirling psychodeli-metal (emphasis on psycho). Every movement mesmerising and despite the frenetic nature of the band's stage presence they still accurately thrashed out every song with ease, Jizzy Pearl had the aura of a remodelled Jim Morrison but with more angst and a vocal range that peaked somewhere in the realm of a fighter jet fly-bye. Skid steadied the ship with some solid bass with a full-on metal attack and an undercurrent of funk, leaping around as if he had a fire in the hold. John E Love held court to the crowd on guitar like the static electricity that surrounds a thunder storm throwing out precision jolts of lightning while weaving in and around the other guys. I might be remembering wrong after the passage of years but I do seem to remember at least one of the band being involved in a stage diving situation or two but all of the antics were more than adequately pinned together by the thundering precision that was their drummer of the time Joey Gold. People talk now of the Chili Peppers' on stage energy but I have to say that aside from their self-titled reference of 'The stupidest band in the world' Love/Hate certainly were the more hyper-driven of the two. This was one gig that was over too soon but imprinted forever. I actually spoke to Jizzy in Newcastle again last night on his 25th Anniversary Tour of the Wasted in America album. He hasn't lost any of the charisma, energy or vocal ability which is what has prompted me to look for a review of this original furst UK tour gig. As no one had commented I thought that I'd better say something about that legendry night when 4 American rockers tattooed something deep in my soul that could never be erased.
