Career
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 Los Angeles 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.
The group subsequently signed to Columbia Records. Following the breakup of Love/Hate, he then sang on the Los Angeles 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 Mission" 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 Foreign 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 Los Angeles Guns (the Tracii Guns version), after a 10-year absence from the band. In September 2011, he announced that he"s leaving Los Angeles 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. The album came out on June 27, 2014.
lieutenant has received mixed to positive reviews from publications such as KNAC.com and Music Enthusiast Magazine.
