J-You also sang with L.A. Guns.. how did you hook up with them?
 

Jizzy-My Love/Hate band exploded in a cloud of crack smoke and I heard that L.A. Guns were looking for somebody so I called. Steve Riley told me that Joe Leste had already gotten the job but Tracii asked me down anyway. I ended up getting the gig.
 
J-What led to you leaving that band?

Jizzy-They got Phil Lewis back...obviously

J-Do you still talk to any of the members?

Jizzy-Yes I am still good friends with all of those guys...I have a lot of good memories from being in that band. It's a very fun band to play in.
 
J-Onto Ratt.. how did you get that gig?

Jizzy-I tried out for the band after Pearcy left, me and all the usual suspects, every singer from every L.A. cock rock band tried out---and this guy Robert Mason got the gig. They did a showcase for Sony with Mason and didn't get their record deal renewed, not because of Robert mind you--anyway Mason decided he didn't want to do it, they auditioned me again and I got the gig. It seems I get all my gigs by default.
 
J-Any plans to record with the guys? or just more touring?

Jizzy-As far as I know RATT has zero plans to record with me...which explains why I'm writing songs for the Adler project right now.
 
J-Whats your favorite tour since youve been in the band? (package tour)

Jizzy-All package tours are fun, for the most part. There may be bad shows here and there but it's always cool having the comaradarie of other bands and friends.
 

 

J-Least favorite? and why?

Jizzy-I've had a few bad tours, bad booking, no money, lying clubowners, no showers for days...but who hasn't.
 
J-Favorite Ratt song to do live?

Jizzy-I guess Nobody Rides for Free
 
J-Least favorite.. or tired of singing..?

Jizzy-You can get tired of singing any song if you do it often enough...in any band.

J-Any plans to tour this year w/RATT?

Jizzy-I have heard we will be doing dates but that's up to the two Bosses, not me.

J-While off tour w/Ratt you reformed Love/Hate..who is in the line-up and what made you decide to get it going again?

Jizzy-Me, Robbie, Keri and a guy named Dave Moreno on drums. I do it for fun and the excuse for a free trip to England every year.

J-Also toured over seas.. how did that go..?

Jizzy-We toured with the Adler thing overeas and every show was sold out--the fans brought all their old G'n'R LP's to sign and a few L/H ones as well. We're doing a month of dates this summer, clubs and some festival dates

J-Any new releases w/Love/Hate stuff?

Jizzy-Love/Hate is me and only me now. Two guys from the original band are retired from music and one is an asshole that no one wants to work with so that leaves me as the Sole Survivor...so who knows on that one.

J-Any plans to tour here in the states?

Jizzy-Love/Hate cannot tour here for financial reasons. I suppose we could do it in a van very cheap very primitive but then it wouldn't be fun anymore so I don't think so...

 

Now onto Jizzy's future...
