Love Machine

Stone Temple Pilots · Mighty Joe Young [Demo] [1990]

Looking like a loaded gun

She's turning me on

She turn me on, she turn me on

Hot flash thinking about your love

She turns me on

She turn me on, she turn me on



Slap me down - I want it, I need it

So, slap me down - I want it, I need it

So, slap me down - I want it, I need it

So, slap me down - I want it, I need it



Cause she's a vamp, she's a vicious

She's a red hot love machine

She's a princess with the power

and she loves to make me bleed



Cause she's hot like a Love Machine

Keep me up all night like a moving train

Hot like a Love Machine

Keep me up all night like a moving train



Cause I gotta know what your're doing to me



Guilty of a sexual crime she blows my mind

She blow my mind, she blow my mind

So jump back or feel my fire come

She turns me on

She turn me, she turn me on

Love Machine

Stone Temple Pilots' 'Love Machine' stands as a pivotal track from their 1990 demo album 'Mighty Joe Young,' capturing the band's raw, grunge-inflected sound before their mainstream breakthrough. Recorded during a formative period, the song showcases the group's signature blend of melodic rock and gritty distortion, featuring Scott Weiland's emotive vocals and the driving rhythm of the Stone Temple Pilots lineup. While often overshadowed by later hits, this recording highlights the band's early experimentation with alternative rock aesthetics and serves as a crucial link in their discography leading to the success of 'Core.' The track remains a testament to the band's evolution from underground garage rock to defining the Seattle sound of the early 1990s.
