David Lee RothSkyscraper

Dave’s EP, “Eat ‘Em And Smile” and “Skyscraper” are essential. This was both more pop and more experimental in places that the former two. Great work from Dave and his all-star band.

The music is great I love the fast paced, blood pumping trip back to high school! The CD was delivered in a short time frame and in great condition. I could not be more happy.DLR loves to rock and roll and it shows! Enjoy !

I bought a copy when it was first released and played it so much that it became unreadable to the player and I had to get a new copy.

The day before it was released to the public, a local radio station played the Skyscraper album. I popped in a blank cassette, hit record, and the rest is history. I absolutely wore this thing out. I am a huge Steve Vai fan, and I still consider his time with Roth one of his most creative periods, and this album iced the cake. Listen to all the intros and fills and you will understand Vai's genius. He is the goofiest guitarist alive, and he got sounds out of his guitar that will make you scratch your head and grin. This album, as well as "Eat 'em and Smile," proves that Roth got the upper hand after the Van Halen saga. Nothing Eddie recorded with Sammy Hagar even comes close to the energy and creativity of these records. I was lucky enough to see Roth on this tour, and he was incredible. This is truly one of the best rock albums of the '80s. Although underrated, it does not disappoint. Listen and try not to smile. I dare you.

This was a good album for Diamond Dave. Great tunes for a Roth fan. If you like DLR buy this CD.

I think anyone who hates David Lee Roth has a major stick up their butt. This has to be one of the most fun to listen to albums ever released. how can you not have a good time, David is just so upbeat and crazy. Its light-hearted party music at its finest.

I've only heard this one a couple of times. Like most people, I was hoping things would continue where "Eat 'Em and Smile" left off. For the most part, it's more commercial, slick and polished and less organic and fun. "Bottom Line", "Hot Dog and a Shake" and surprisingly, "Damn Good" were my favorites. The first two come closest to what I was expecting and hoping for. "Damn Good" is great in a way that one wouldn't expect from DLR. It's not easy to do a nostalgic ballad that sounds sincere and doesn't sound wimpy. He does it. My main disappointment is that Steve Vai is front and center the entire time and Billy Sheehan gets pushed into the background. That may have been a good commercial decision, but artistically, I was hoping for more of that "Shy Boy" and "Elephant Gun" excitement.

Great CD
