I Love Rich
"The Greatest Rock & Roll Record Of All Time"
(Self) 

By Jonathan Mariante

The greatest rock 'n' roll record of all time? Well, I don't know about that...but it is pretty cool! Anyone Remember REAL rock and roll? Well, that's what these guys specialize in! I Love Rich plays good old fashioned glam rock (cock rock, call in what you want!). It's hard rocking, raunchy, trashy, sleazy, and fun, the way glam rock was meant to be! They don't play around, they just let loose and rock out! Don't you just love bands who do that? Don't you wish there were more bands like this in the world? I Love Rich is influenced by bands like the New York Dolls, Hanoi Rocks, Aerosmith, L.A. Guns, and many 80's bands. Every song rocks! Most of the songs are about sex (a staple in glam rock) and the band even has a sense of humor! The song "Dr. Tung" is a laugh! Other cool tunes include "Hot Chocolate", "You Want My Action", "Touch My Sexx", "Like A Rocket", "Mr. Heartbreaker", and "World's Greatest Lover". Subtle these guys ain't, but rock and roll ain't meant to be subtle, is it? This is just pure, straight-ahead rock and roll, no frills, no "additives", just rock the way it was meant to be! There has been a dire shortage of this style of music for several years now, so hopefully bands like I Love Rich can help put it back on the map! They put the "rock" and the "roll" back in rock and roll!
