Info for The Warner Recordings (1985-1994) (2025 Remaster)

David Lee Roth - THE WARNER RECORDINGS 1985-1994 enthält die ersten fünf Solo-Veröffentlichungen des in die Rock and Roll Hall of Fame® aufgenommenen und ursprünglichen Leadsängers von Van Halen zum ersten Mal in einer umfassenden Sammlung. Das Set umfasst eine der größten Serien in der Geschichte des Rock 'n' Roll und bietet Fans und Neueinsteigern gleichermaßen die Möglichkeit, CRAZY FROM THE HEAT [1985], EAT 'EM AND SMILE [1986], SKYSCRAPER [1988], A LITTLE AIN'T ENOUGH [1991] und YOUR FILTHY LITTLE MOUTH [1994] nacheinander zu erleben.

In diesem Monat vor 40 Jahren, am 28. Januar 1985, debütierte Roth offiziell als Solokünstler mit der CRAZY FROM THE HEAT EP. Sie stürmte die Top 15 der Billboard 200 und erreichte RIAA-Platinstatus. Außerdem verzeichnete er zwei Hits in den Billboard Hot 100 - das Medley von „Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody“ erreichte Platz 12, während seine Version von „California Girls“ von den Beach Boys auf Platz 3 kletterte und damit den Erfolg des Originals von 1965 wiederholte. CRAZY FROM THE HEAT diente später als Titel seiner Autobiografie, die 1997 in der New York Times zum Bestseller wurde.

Die EP ebnete den Weg für seine erste Solo-LP, EAT 'EM AND SMILE, in voller Länge. Sie wurde am 7. Juli 1986 veröffentlicht, erreichte die Top 5 der Billboard 200 und wurde schließlich mit RIAA-Platin ausgezeichnet. Roth trieb seinen Sound auf die Spitze, begleitet von einer All-Star-Band bestehend aus Billy Sheehan [Bass], Gregg Bissonette [Schlagzeug] und Steve Vai [Gitarre]. Gemeinsam servierten sie Hymnen wie „Yankee Rose“, „Tobacco Road“, „That's Life“ und viele mehr. KERRANG! kürte das Album zum „Album des Jahres“ und startete in seinem Kielwasser die bahnbrechende EAT 'EM AND SMILE Tour.

1987 kehrte Roth mit dem Platin-Album SKYSCRAPER in die Top 10 der Billboard 200 zurück, angeführt von „Just Like Paradise“. In der Zwischenzeit begann Roth die neunziger Jahre mit dem Gold-Album A LITTLE AIN'T ENOUGH aus dem Jahr 1991. Es war sein viertes Top-20-Debüt in Folge in den Billboard 200 und wurde von Jason Becker mit Laubsägearbeiten bereichert. Schließlich brachte er 1994 YOUR FILTHY LITTLE MOUTH heraus, diesmal in Zusammenarbeit mit keinem Geringeren als dem legendären Produzenten Nile Rodgers (Madonna, David Bowie), und produzierte Klassiker wie „She's My Machine“.

David Lee Roth
The American songwriter and musician David Lee Roth was born in 1954 in Bloomington, Indiana but spent his formative years in California. Roth grew up in an affluent household, as his father was a renowned eye surgeon whose investments in real estate resulted in a sizable family fortune. Despite the fact that most of his family members were surgeons or other medical professionals, young David found himself drawn to the entertainment industry, and by the time he was in his teens, he was performing as a solo singer and sometimes with various other groups.

After teaming up with Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen, Roth became part of the trio at that time called Mammoth. In 1974, the band switched its name to Van Halen, and the group began to perform around the Los Angeles area, slowly establishing a growing fan base. A meeting with Gene Simmons of the rock group KISS in 1976 led to an offer of assistance on Van Halen’s first demo tape, which eventually garnered the attention of a Warner Brothers’ executive in 1977.

After signing with Warner Brothers, the band released their self-titled debut album in 1978. Van Halen was a smash hit, rising to the top of the charts and selling more than twelve million copies over time. Throughout the early 1980’s, David Lee Roth served as the band’s front-man, bringing hits such as “Pretty Woman,” “Dancing in the Street,” “Secrets,” “So This Is Love?,” “Jump,” and “Hot for Teacher” to the mainstream. Roth remained with Van Halen through the albums Van Halen II (1979), Women and Children First (1980), Fair Warning (1982), Diver Down (1982) and 1984 (1984), after which time he left the band to launch a solo career.

David Lee Roth’s debut solo album, Crazy from the Heat, was also an enormous hit upon its release in 1985, and featured such light-hearted songs such as “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” and “California Girls.” From 1985 to 2006, Roth performed mainly with his own solo band, featuring notable musicians such as Billy Sheehan and Steve Vai. Crazy from the Heat was followed by: Eat ‘Em and Smile (1986), Skyscraper (1988), A Little Ain’t Enough (1991), Your Filthy Little Mouth (1994), DLR Band (1998), and Diamond Dave (2003.) The albums gave audiences the additional hits: “Yankee Rose,” “That’s Life,” “Tobacco Road,” and “Just Like Paradise,” to name a few.

In 2007, David Lee Roth rejoined Van Halen, and has remained with the band ever since. The group released a “comeback” album, A Different Kind of Truth, in 2012, featuring the songs “She’s the Woman” and “Tattoo.” In 2015, the group released a live album, Tokyo Dome Live in Concert.
