Hey All,

It's Pearl here with my first official Moli blog. Happy 2008. We've barely gotten in to the new year, but it's feeling bigger, better and brighter already. I want to first say thanks for finding me and joining me here. I am a singer, and a songwriter. I grew up with music, with rock and roll, with the blues, with soul,with funk, with country...it's all in my blood, and now I'm pouring it all out for you. I know you're gonna love what you hear, on the page and in the airwaves.
What?...start off with a rant? Well, don't mind if I do.....
My dad is an entertainer, a singer, an actor. You may have heard of him. His name is Meat Loaf. I started singing with him in 1994 after my freshman year of college. Of course, I've spent my entire life watching him on stage whether I was up there with him or not, taking in his process, observing the passion, the commitment, the madness, and the dedication that goes into his performances.
He is never not at full throttle, and by no means does he take his job lightly.
I in turn, do not either. My father taught me that being on stage, and being given the chance to perform in front of an audience, whether it be 5 people or 5 million, is always a privilege, and this is what I truly believe. Because of him, I too believe that the show must go on. You always go on. You always give one million percent, no matter what, aside from dismemberment or something of the sort, or death, or of course if you've lost your voice.
If the pipes ain't working, there's not much you can do about it. You've just got to wait it out and heal. But you've got to respect your fans if you expect for them to respect you. It is not your right to have an audience come and listen to you whether they've paid or not, it is something that you earn. It is something that you have to work for. If nobody came, you would be nowhere.
I think that a lot of "artists" these days are too fucking soft. When did it stop being about the music? When did it stop being about the soul of performance? I'd never cancel one show, let alone a sequence of shows because I was hung over, or tired, or "dehydrated". Where's the spirit? Where's the appreciation? Where's the showmanship, the professionalism, the class? Where's your balls? Where's the fucking rock and roll? I'll tell you where it is...it's right here, I've got it, my band has it, and we'll give it to you tenfold, enough to floor all these spoiled rotten pop-brats.
I'll tell you what, it drives me up a wall to see some of these girls, (Lily Allen, Amy Winehouse), just shit all over their fans, their own music, and the privilege of even being given a stage to puke on. I don't think they understand what they have, what they could be, or what it's all about. It's a God damned tragedy. I see these sweet little fan girls running around with big black beehive wigs on, all excited to see their idol, just to be so disappointed because Amy decided to get wasted and cancel. I remember when I was little, dressing up like Cyndi Lauper with my girlfriends and just loving her to fucking bits. Cyndi never let us down. Madonna never let us down. You can argue that the internet has changed everything, and that new technology allows for too much of a breach of privacy, and the media this, and the media that...blah, blah...give me a break. So be discreet.
Do what you gotta do, maybe just don't video tape yourself doing it, and maybe don't get too fucked up on a show day. I'm no fucking angel, believe me, but there's something to be said for finding the right place, and the right time, and if you fuck up, then you scrape yourself off the floor and sweat it out on stage.
There are too many people counting on you to make it there. If you can't do it for yourself, then at least do it for them. There's too much whining, too many excuses, and too much being taken for granted. If these pop girls don't want their stage, then they should give it to me. Give it to me because I truly want it, and I understand the weight and the value of it. If they don't want their fans, then I'll take them, and I'll give them someone to love, someone to follow, someone who will work for them and rock them hard, someone to be proud of. I will not disappoint, I will always give a million plus percent, and I will always go on. It's just too important to me. Like I said, it's in my blood, and I want everyone to have some. I'm in, and I mean it.
So, if you haven't already done so, please check out my new music. It is straight up, no holds barred rock and roll. I'm bringing the truth back! No more bullshit. No more pansies. No more fucking whiney assholes. It's time to take the music back! I've got Mother Superior! I've got Scott Ian! I've got Ted Nugent! I've got Jerry Cantrell! Right now there is an EP available for downloading from i-tunes, Amazon.com, Rhapsody, Emusic, and Napster.
Physical copies of my whole CD will be available in stores soon. I'll be live streaming online on Suicide Girls Radio this Sunday night, Jan. 27th with Scott Ian talking about my new album, playing my own new music, and some of my favorite artists.
ALSO, if you're in the LA area, please come out and SEE ME PLAY LIVE THIS WEDNESDAY NIGHT AT THE ROXY ON SUNSET STRIP at 10:00pm with Mother Superior and Scott Ian...Say you're there to see Pearl, and the first 100 people will get a physical copy of my new EP Featuring Mother Superior, Scott Ian and Ted Nugent!

Cheers, love, rock, always,
Pearl
