Jizzy Pearl (born James Wilkinson) is an American vocalist that was born on March 17, 1958, in Chicago, Illinois. He's had notable performances in several heavy metal and hard rock groups. He first fronted the band Data Clan, which evolved into became Love/Hate. Pearl has also sung for L.A. Guns, Ratt, Adler's Appetite, and other, lesser known acts. Pearl is known for, in the words of KNAC.com, his "gritty-sounding blues-influenced" vocals. ==Personal history and music career== In the late 1980s, Pearl sang for Love/Hate, which achieved notoriety for performances as the house band at the Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood. The group subsequently signed to Columbia Records. Following the breakup of Love/Hate, he then sang on the L.A. Guns album ''Shrinking Violet''. He also sang with one version of Ratt from 1999 to 2006. Pearl has released the solo albums ''Just A Boy'' and ''Vegas Must Die''. ''Vegas Must Die'' was released on July 19, 2005 on Shrapnel Records. The album contains eleven songs. Jizzy produced the album himself, which was engineered by Michael Lardie of Great White/Night Ranger. His vocal style has changed considerably over the years, with only the opener, 'Hit And Miss' serving up the patented Jizzy whine. But his voice is a lot richer, and he takes different tones to different tunes, almost playing characters in his own stories. Besides singing and songwriting Jizzy has also turned his hand to story writing, writing 3 books to date "I Got More Crickets Than Friends", "Angst For The Memories" – and 2006's, "Unhappy Endings", a collection of short stories, all of which are all slightly twisted, bizarre. In early 2007 Pearl announced he will not reunite with Love/Hate for the first time in ten years, on February 24, 2007 at Club Vodka in Hollywood, California to perform their classic record ''Blackout in the Red Room'' in its entirety. In 2009, Pearl returned to front L.A. Guns (the Tracii Guns version), after a 10-year absence from the band. In September 2011, he announced that he's leaving L.A. Guns. Not long after he left the group, the Tracii Guns incarnation of the group disbanded. In 2013, Pearl joined Quiet Riot, replacing then vocalist Scott Vokoun. The band decided to record a new album with Pearl that they set for release in early 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Friday, 22 November 2013 at 22:10 )〕 That effort became ''Quiet Riot 10'' (also alternatively known as just ''10)'', which was the twelfth studio album by the heavy metal band and featured a mix of songs with Pearl as well as live tracks with founder vocalist Kevin DuBrow.〔 The album came out on June 27, 2014. It has received mixed to positive reviews from publications such as KNAC.com and ''(Music Enthusiast Magazine )''.〔〔http://musicenthusiastmag.com/quiet-riot-10-album-review/#ixzz3KwdOt1ay〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jizzy Pearl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
