Rockstar's Lovefist is a fictional Band created by Rockstar Games. They are only featured on the Soundtrack of the Video Game "Grand Theft Auto: Vice City".
Introduced in: "The Party" (Jezz Torrent only), "Love Juice" (other band members). However, Jezz Torrent may be heard in an interview on the K-Chat radio station before the mission, and two Love Fist songs may be heard on the V-Rock radio station.
Love Fist is a Scottish glam metal band in Vice City, managed by Kent Paul. The band's members are Jezz Torrent, Willy, Dick and Percy. The last three names are all slang terms for penis, while Jezz, when said in a Scottish accent, is heard as "Jizz", a slang term for semen. During the game, Tommy has to help organize the group's appearance in Vice City by providing the band members with drugs and prostitutes, protecting them from a deranged stalker, hiring a biker gang to work as security for the show (a reference to The Rolling Stones' show at Altamont Speedway, where the Hells Angels were hired as security with disastrous results) and driving them to their show in their bomb-rigged limo (a reference to the movie Speed, which starred Dennis Hopper, the voice of Steve Scott).
A number of songs by Love Fist are named in the game, notably during a radio interview of Jezz Torrent on K-Chat and in a commercial of Love Fist's Steel Heart Stone Cold Prostate tour on V-Rock. The songs mentioned include Fist Till Morning, Dangerous Bastard, Fist Fury, The Four Scottish Horsemen of the Apocalypse, Take it on the Chin, Zinc Deficiency, Four Boys against Your Face, Satan’s Pillows, Beast Fist, Chin Stainer, Liver Buster and Dangerous Man- Dead Family. Love Fist's albums mentioned throughout the game include: Dogs on Heat, Fat Chicks – All Day, All Night and Devil’s Own Band. Of all the songs mentioned, only "Dangerous Bastard" and "Fist Fury" can be heard on V-Rock, although a portion of "Fist Till Morning" can be heard during the Love Fist commercial.
Love Fist was voiced by Kevin McKidd (Jezz Torrent), Mark Hanlon (Willy), Peter McKay (Dick) and Russel Foreman (Percy). Their songs were written by Allan Walker, Paul Mackie, Trevor McDonald, Dr. Boogie and Craig Conner, and performed by musicians Andy Thomson, Mark Farquhar, Neil Mchaffie, Trevor McDonald and Paul Mackie.
The character of Jezz Torrent makes a minor cameo appearance in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, where he claims to have joined the Epsilon Program cult. According to his testimony and the Epsilon website, the cult helped him get off smack. Pictures of Love Fist also appeared as posters and billboards in both San Andreas and Liberty City Stories and Love Fist is also mentioned in San Andreas on the radio station K-DST when DJ Tommy "The Nightmare" Smith says that "I can't believe I get to play music for a living, even if it is other people's; and whatever happened to Love Fist?" They are also mentioned on the Radio X radio station when DJ Sage talks briefly about a 'growing rap crisis'. She starts off by saying 'First it was Love Fist…' and goes on to mention OG Loc, friend of the playable character Carl Johnson.
Love Fist is apparently still around during Grand Theft Auto IV, as an electronic sign outside of a café in The Triangle displays the words "Superstar Café starring the mighty Love Fist".
