Product Description
After his first successful run with the mighty Van Halen in 1984, the legendary David Lee Roth embarked on an amazing solo career which yielded him enough gold and platinum records that King Midas would have be envious. With his songs being featured in major films, television, cartoons and chart topping video games, he truly is an all around muliti-media superstar.

While venturing into his first solo effort with the multi-platinum smash E.P. Crazy From The Heat, Diamond Dave didn’t have to go far to prove to the world that he was already on top of his game, as more smash albums and chart topping rock radio tracks followed from his stellar LPs like Eat ‘Em And Smile, Skyscraper, A Lil’ Ain’t Enough and Your Filthy Little Mouth.

Always surrounding himself with an incredible batch of tunes and super powerful musicians like Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, Gregg Bissonette, Nile Rodgers and Steve Hunter, just to name a few, David Lee Roth truly captivates the world stages with his persona, musical acumen and showmanship.

could be ok... hope they don't exclude my favorite solo roth track "damn good"

probably just a repackage of his last with an added DVD.,

Posted tracklisting which is horrid and missing tons of things it should have.

Also, it claims those videos are "unreleased". I have all but one of them from MTV airings. This is also missing plenty of videos that exist.

If you want a DLR comp stick with The Best which Rhino put out in 1997. This looks awful. I haven't listened to any DLR in years anyway and I'll keep it that way!

this looks to be (as we say in nursing) a hot mess!

i'll pass!

He only had a few hits, so a hits collection would mostly be filler wouldn't it? I'm not trying to be snarky or whatever, but his solo career seemed underwhelming...

He had 15 Album Rock Hits. 8 made the Top 10 and 3 others just missed.

From 1985-91 he was very successful and those first 3 full-length album were very sophisticated and quite popular (2 Platinum one Gold and the EP went Platinum).

This collection ignores many of those 15 hits which is a joke.

I'm not saying his solo career was amazing, but it was a good deal popular for a while and this represents so little of it it's baffling. "Damn Good" was a damn good song-a real gem and it hit #2 in airplay-where is it???

But it should be on a greatest hits/best of/hey remember me? compilation.

Bump: Added cover image to the first post, and moved all the product descriptions to the first post as well.

I know a lot people don't like this one but if they remaster this w/bonus I would go for it in a NY minute.

Pass

This never showed up at any of my stores, even J&R, and I eventually ordered it from Amazon. Wondering if they only pressed up a limited number--why would sellers be asking anywhere from $20-$88 for used copies already?

Jimbo, I believe "Friday Music" doesn't press too many CDs. My guess but try getting Triumvirate's "Spartacus" disc on that label. Not the easiest thing to do.

I not only like that album, I think it's better than Eat 'Em And Smile.

I used to like the first 2 or 3, but they haven't aged well for me.

I think between the first two you have pieces of one really good album, with some leftover B-Sides.

Lots of bad reviews on this one, maybe someone here can confirm.

Horrible video quality...it appears as if this is merely a VHS to DVD copy. I love this music and these songs, but I have not seen these videos since I was a kid. I always were fond of the memories, but going back over 25 years then viewing this for the first time since that...well, it's bad. Unwatchable. Again, I LOVE the music, but the videos are just BAD.

The Best contains all the solo Diamond Dave you'll ever need. Aside from Eat 'Em And Smile, Roth's individual solo albums were really mediocre and very much inferior to Hagar-era Van Halen.
