Exciting news for all rock fans out there! Remember when Taco Bell introduced their Doritos Tortilla for tacos, and everyone wondered where the ranch one was? Well, it’s that kind of anticipation we’re feeling now, as Rhino Records is set to unveil a long-awaited boxed set featuring the legendary David Lee Roth.
The boxed set, titled “The Warner Recordings 1985-1994,” is scheduled for release on February 21. It’s a collection of Roth’s first five solo releases during his time away from Van Halen. You can get your hands on this fantastic set in different formats, including 5CD and D2C online versions, along with a special 5LP edition exclusively available at Rhino.com.
David Lee Roth kicked off his solo career with the EP “Crazy From The Heat,” which not only landed in the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 but also achieved platinum status. This success played a significant role in Roth’s decision to part ways with Van Halen. The EP featured two Billboard Hot 100 hits, “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody,” and a cover of The Beach Boys’ classic “California Girls,” which climbed to No. 3, making “Crazy From The Heat” a standout release of that year.
Going solo, Roth released “Eat ‘Em And Smile,” which went on to reach the Top 5 on the Billboard 200 and receive platinum certification. Roth assembled a stellar band that included bass virtuoso Billy Sheehan, seasoned drummer Gregg Bissonette, and guitar prodigy Steve Vai, resulting in hits like “Yankee Rose,” “Goin Crazy,” and “That’s Life.” The success of the album led to the “Eat ‘Em And Smile” tour, which became one of the highest-grossing tours of the year.
Recognized as “Diamond Dave,” David Lee Roth continues to be one of the most influential and impactful figures in rock music history, with over 70 million records sold worldwide. So get ready to rock out with this incredible boxed set that celebrates the incredible solo career of David Lee Roth!
