Love/Hate - Blackout In The Red Room

[@kevinblake839]

Criminally underrated bona fide classic album from a band who deserved much better before they got washed away by the Grunge tsunami. The production on this record is fantastic - everything sounds HUGE.

[@danyiluska]

Agreed! Fact, that after decades I returned to listen!

[@bagofbones95]

Damn that Jizzy got some great pipes..

[@melissaleonard7839]

I SO AGREE...‼‼ 💯%!!! This was a BAD @$$ BAND‼‼‼ ✌💪✊👊👌👏👏👏👏

[@justinwhite9689]

Got this album from the bmg cd club back in the day as the free ones, never did pay for any other cd, to fulfill the membership, oops

[@simonhunter3430]

big and bouncy as f**k

[@lancejohnson6440]

Dude, this song never gets old. Been listening too it for over 30 years🙈. Love the guitar solo bad ass.

[@bobharding1667]

30 year class reunion and this was the most loved and talked about song of the night.

[@Southparkhappy]

🎉 1:33

[@hobi1kenobi112]

This song will always be strong. The music, the stop start beat and those vocals.... wow!

[@cruecure]

Blackout in a red room is such a classic album from start to finish.

[@craigdibble7271]

Very underrated album for sure!

[@jparanica]

Totally agree❤ What a great rock record 10/10

[@xf8b1]

It's a shame that these guys never got the praise and recognition they deserve. I remember seeing these guys at Harpo's in Detroit, and got backstage. They were the coolest guys to hang out with, period.

[@texasgina]

I remember talking to one of the guys in the band I think he had curly hair he was really quiet and shy he was so nice they were hanging out at a club after I saw them in concert God it was so long ago

[@BOUZOUKI_PETE]

they fuckin toured with Dio multiple times and had a hit single albums id say they did well

[@remyr5749]

Saw these guys in 2002 at the Key Club in Hollywood. Jizzy has no need for a mic...strongest vocals I ever heard..parted my hair 16' from the front of the stage!!

[@delta558]

Saw them back in the early 90s in Wolverhampton, in a room not much bigger than a small pub. Met them after as well. Yeah, no mic needed!!

[@onkelmarvin8360]

I saw them live in 1991, and thought exactly the same. Jizzy`s vocals was just amazing, and the whole band was totally wild and crazy on stage, it was fucking beautiful. One of the greatest live concerts, I´ve ever attended. They made Ozzy, who was the headliner, look like an old fart.

[@daledavis7870]

Sorry guys in South Carolina

[@waitinginthepipeline]

Brilliant.

[@bpreston17]

still one of my go to songs even after 34 years have passed.

[@hakksaw]

Fuckin A. Yep! 🤘🏼

[@marksavage1744]

Same here. Not sure if you ever heard of Silvertide from Philadelphia, but I've been listening to their "Show and Tell" album a ton lately. Not exactly like Love/Hate, but some great hard-edge rock. I've been collecting music since the 60s and this one is one of my favorites. Too bad they didn't stick together longer. "I Ain't Comin' Home", "SFC", "Mary Jane" and "California Rain" are my favorites. Rock on!

[@jackaction7077]

1989 so we woke up blind ..And we did!.. Definitely party time...Good times✌️😎🥳🤣

[@Bacchus1983]

I played the hell out of this when it first came out. Definitely a cut above the typical sunset strip band.

[@DocThunderfoot]

I do it to this date. One of my top 10 genre albums of the era!! Period.

[@yragnellaable]

150 seconds of pure rock and roll. Fucking love this song .

[@mikegerstbrein3053]

Those four opening chords DEFINE heavy metal! What a fantastic tune from a true classic album.

[@gavinlawrie6946]

Officially the first band I ever saw live (supporting Skid Row on European tour). What memories!! This song was a favourite of mine to jump around the bedroom to. Drove my folks mental!!

[@pauldiamondblow]

this song kicks all kinds of butt... too bad bands these days don't ROCK any more like this.

[@jeremydimeo1262]

Saw these guys at The Whiskey in the summer of '91. Awesome!!!!

[@kellyslowik7905]

oh yes I am 43 and can't get enough I will never forget my roots. Love this band so much!

[@CrimsonThorns]

Great times with: Love/Hate, Britny Fox, EveryMothersNightmare, Lynch Mob, BulletBoys, Heavens Edge, Tora Tora, LA GUNS, Badlands, SleezBeez, SeaHags, Saigon Kick, White Lion, Tangier, Tesla, Cinderella, Electric Boys, Skid Row, Pantera, Spread Eagle, Metal Church, Accept, Wildside, XYZ, The Cult, __________(add your own).

[@marq1973]

[@CrimsonThorns]

Yes sir...Cult of Personality...that songs rocks.

[@Maharg23]

Babylon AD

[@CrimsonThorns]

*****- The first Babylon A.D. cd rocks., yes sir. Got to see them "live," during that tour.

[@geardaverock]

Slaughter, Kix and Faster pussycat

[@Maharg23]

Kick fucking ass rock and roll. didnt care about how they looked. Just wanted to rock. 80s early 90s will never be re done or replaced.

[@simiangimp2282]

***** They were awesome and massively underrated. Had them on loop for years. Grunge killed it for them :/

[@tjfreak]

Simian Gimp This was right at the "flannel shirt" bands (PJam/Nirvana)time & the the masses resoundingly voted out the Hair/glam & slammed the door.. in favor of the blue collar rockers,there was a lot lot lot of garbage flying off the shelves at a huge rate from everywhere,complete copycatter/bandwagon jumpers..it is a good thing it died..it was pretty bad,

[@metalmullisha68]

+Tjfreak It all had it's time and place! This song will always be in my favorites

[@nickslater1164]

fucking A

[@sword-and-shield]

Ha, came out when I moved to Florida, non stop partying and living on the beach, the tune just had that attitude that fit and that killer guitar tone.

[@martinlapierre1951]

Great song

[@jamescooper1848]

my kids / grandkids are going to pay attention to this work

[@WorldofwonderSuper]

Those first two albums are two of the greatest ever. So much variety. Never sounded the same after you left. Love/Hate , Salty Dog and Sea Hags still sound fresh today. I show my guitar students all that stuff. The intro to Tranquilizer is one of the coolest ever ! Thanks , Jason

[@lukemanify]

Man my words No one remembers Salty Dog Do you still feel the same after 10 yrs

[@jamesmiller4972]

Salty Dog - Every Dog has Its Day-- YES!! First heard them on a radio show called High Voltage. Did not realize the bass player was from my home state of Ohio. Such a great album!

[@theknightwhosaysni1356]

Sea Hags! Adore them

[@markshaver3814]

I discovered this gem on Headbangers Ball in 1990 along with Warrior Soul "the losers" and "wasteland". Definite good times for music.

[@james_marshall]

What a voice! Great riff, great song!

[@Southparkhappy]

😢 2:24

[@colincampbell7126]

I remember when i was livin down there and Jizzy hung himself in a Jesus pose on the Hollywood sign. If i remember right it was on the letter Y LOLOL

[@YesOkayButWhy]

Who's still listening to this banger in 1991? It smacks!

[@СергейОса-ф1ы]

Я слушаю.

[@SacTownLions0]

loved this song. In college I had a party and passed out flyers (1995). Theme of the party was "Blackout in the Red room" because of this song.

[@davidg.9932]

So cool. College years were better than high school years.. You could actually, seriously party..

[@jodee8831]

I love that I'm only finding this jem now, along my rock n roll path, of my musical journey

[@mrbatdance]

Love/Hate, Shotgun Messiah, Saigon Kick, Life Sex Death,Kik Tracee...got me through high school and still Rockin' the shit outta them in 2015 baby!!! ~ Fuck yeah!!!

[@TikKracee]

+Andreas Stark WOW these are like half of my favorite bands (maybe besides Shotgun Messiah). Not many people know Life Sex & Death or Kik Tracee :D It's funny because the average year of the release of their debuts is the year I was born, and early 90s is still like 90% of music I listen to.

[@justwords562]

+Majestic12 Life SEx DEath..the metal band that went full re----..well ya know. Interesting band.

[@mrbatdance]

+Majestic12 Rock music was on fire back then.The looks,attitude,creativity,insane guitar solo's and slick productions are what's missing today. Don't get me wrong there will always be good music coming out but for the Hard Rock/Glam pop genre the bands I mentioned above (plus many more in my record collection) were the real deal and nothing these days can ever compare.Most of these Scandinavian bands that tried to revive Hard Rock/Glam a few years ago failed miserably sounding like Eurovision dog shit.Not all but most of 'em anyway. Not to mention the boring non existing Rock scene of today. That certainly wasn't the case in the 80's/mid 90's.Christ,even the ballads kicked ass! Rock music needs a kick in the butt,a real comeback. x

[@DocRaunchy]

These two screams after the solo up to the end are insane. Marq Torien of Bullet Boys also could do this. I liked the song when it came out in 1990, but it took 30 years to spin it on heavy rotation. What a fun song.

[@lpc90]

Kickass banger of tune, took me ages to remember and find this song. It's getting played that loud my neighbours will love it

[@jackaction7077]

1990 what a awesome year and the best times!..So you woke up blind!

[@PaulDawsonThunderMad]

Awesome tune !!!!!!!!!! January 1991, Queens Theatre, Burslem, Stoke On Trent ,, England ..... Saw em live n what a gig it was !!!!! Getting old now ... lol

[@MartynHopkinson]

Yes i remember, was it really that long ago?

[@PaulDawsonThunderMad]

Sure was !!!

[@MartynHopkinson]

I remember that guy running round at the back playing air guitar, is the queens theatre used for anything theses days?

[@PaulDawsonThunderMad]

I'm not sure. Keep seeing posts on FB saying it's being neglected by the council .. They have the odd thing on I think !!!

[@sandybell2743]

I still love this kick ass song in 2023...🎶🎵🎵 Metal Rules

[@TyrannosaurusKrys]

Ahh, good ole fashioned sleazy hard-rock with a tinge of glam... LOVE it!

[@the_scraggler]

Bands like Love/Hate just had this big sound, it's hard to describe. It's an arena sound where everything has a slight echo to it or something to make it sound bigger. Ratt was like this also and Poison to an extent. I'm sure there were others but I just love that sound.

[@exelentation1]

I´m 34 and I don´t know where my mind was when this band appeared...surely I was listening to Guns n´roses and their saturating 91-92 hits...but it´s never late to find quality.

[@michaelvest2691]

Saw them open for AC/DC in KC! Fantastic show. Fantastic song. Love it. Get the album.

[@metalmaniaxx]

I used to hear this when I was in grade school,over the radio.I only heard it a couple times but it stuck in my head.couldn't believe I'm hearing this again! I didn't know their name,the song name or anything.wow..it's been 30 years since I've last heard this! It has aged well

[@louiscsanko3673]

Classic Band// Classic Song// Classic Album 🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@wasp4eva1]

I remember being in a metal record store in Sydney, it's called "Utopia" and still exists, they put this song on and it blew me away! Some of those chords sound like they could break through a wall. I got it on cassette, later CD, it's a classic album and can not be lumped in with glam, these guys stretched out much farther.

[@gordrock]

Still one my favourite songs of all time!

[@fabOne2212]

C'était un album extraordinaire, avec une production incroyable, un gros son comme on en entendait rarement à l'époque. Je l'écoutais en boucle. Les titres sont d'une énergie fantastique, une réussite totale qui malheureusement n'a pas bien marché alors qu'ils avaient un potentiel énorme...

[@sandybell2743]

Dam great song ! It kicks ass ! Excellent vocals ! Love this band 💜

[@jbabin34]

haven't heard this song in years. brings back great memories!

[@broughdouglas1]

So awesome seeing these guys again, I was in my late teens when Love / Hate were popular, those were the best days of my life, just listening to this whole album brings back the best memories, parties, girls, drinking and getting wasted. Would love to relive the 90's again and again. I just loved the music of that time.

[@briankoncyk3379]

Saw these guys on this tour in Detroit at Harpos and they kicked butt big time! Awesome concert and great band to see live for sure!

[@JoeBowler-r9n]

This Rulz.🤘🤘

[@mandiemag]

I haven’t heard this song in 25 yrs, and we have this room in the basement we’ve always called the “red room” because it used to have red linoleum. I said something about the red room to my husband, and all of a sudden this song was in my head! Love it!

[@danziger69]

Still luv this tune...

[@MrDslfast22]

Easily one of the greatest rock riffs of all time. Great hook digs in deep and never lets go.

[@mikey_mikemc]

Still love it, and still playing it.

[@petercollinson8039]

The pure rock energy pumped out by this tune could jump start the Titanic.

[@boohenry5150]

This is what rock is all about. They are sending the message loud and clear. Super great playing. They certainly were very serious about spewing out some great rock! Nice!!!

[@billclause2806]

I miss the classic lineup, saw them so many times between 1990 and 1994!

[@davidcrook7847]

These guys should have been mega! The grunge era was just around the corner, but I think they had something strong enough to bridge the styles and create a powerhouse of all their own.

[@rageoval8997]

Found this on TripleMMM hard n heavy. How have I not discovered this till now

[@MrDslfast22]

One of the all time great hard rock riffs. Song just kills.

[@djsykoticsnap9152]

Killer song! I hadn`t heard this in probably 20 years. Brings back memories of a great time before grunge came along and ruined it all! Thanx for sharing this!

[@scoopsdujour]

Yes, because if grunge never came along this style of music would still be popular today...

Gee Mack He's referring to the gig we did at King Tut's in Glasgow in 1990.. The floor collapsed due to all the punters jumping up and down.. Crazy night.. Club was on the second floor and half -way of the set the floor just started to collapse.. Had to cancel so nobody ended up hurt. Did a make-up gig at Barrowlands hence the Jizzy quote to the audience.. Scotland always gave us love.............JL

I forgot about this song. It's dope. I love the way the bass guitar and drums combine for the verses. And buddy's voice is nice and wheezy.

[@luchador4life]

Still love the song. Haven't heard it in years. But am I the only one disappointed by the fact it's only 2:30 long? Feels more like a demo for a song than a full song. But it works. Also, I think the lead singer is wearing Lululemon. Maybe.

[@grimesjon1]

[@amsedelm]

My band Hangtown opened up for them at Lamour in Brooklyn, NY back in 92? I think. As Jizzy was heading to the stage I slammed the door in his face by mistake. He didn't miss a beat and rocked the house. 8)
