David Lee Roth
Crazy From the Heat
Genre: Rock
4 out of 5
Highlights:
Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody
California Girls
So, we did The Honeydrippers. This is the flip side. Whereas Plant is a rock singer pretending to be a crooner, Roth is 100% lounge singer cruiser pretending to be a rock singer and that’s why Van Halen worked. Plain and simple. Diamond Dave was all about the show. Glitz and glam. And that might have been counter to Eddie’s pure classical mentality. Maybe that’s why they bought so much. Also, maybe cuz Eddie’s a drunk and Dave is out of his fucking mind.
This shouldn’t work, should it?
It’s remarkable that it does.
The truth is, the two big singles are the ones that work best. You’ve heard them. You like them. They’re gonna make you smile.
