    Man, I try and block "Stand Up" from ever entering my head.

    The video is fucking hilarious. Bizarre when seen in retrospect.

              I dunno though. What pisses me off about that is channel is that they show all these other bootleg videos and the good ones hardly get played. I just wish they had a all classic VH/Dave video day so i could record it all

                      Couldn't agree more with you.

                      Skyscraper is one of the few Dave CDs I don't own. It's OK there are some really good songs there.

                      It reminds me of being in school and I was one of few people already into David Lee Roth and classic Van halen, then all of a sudden this album came out and everyone was into Skyscraper, Dave was really famous at this time in the UK.

                      Those were good times.

                        Skyscraper is my favorite DLR solo CD. Everytime I hear it the quality hits me. It's about as good as '80's rock gets I think. I bought it when it came out in '88 and I still love it. I do understand why some people hate the production, but I really get a kick out of it.

                        If I ever needed to demonstrate the brilliance of Roth, I'd probably play them 'Hot dog and a shake'. One of Dave's finest moments in my opinion.

                        Great music for in the car too.

                            Damn good times.


                            Hina and Damn Good are among my Roth solo-favorites.

                              to expand on my earlier post, Skyscraper is in my cd player right now... skyscraper, stand up, perfect timing are 3 of Daves best efforts. The only song on this disc that I dont really like as much as the others is Hot Dog and A Shake...

                                Hot Dog and a Shake has a really good solo though. Perfect timing is one of my favorites off of that album......."Is this just a passing fancy...."
