Rhino recently released the new David Lee Roth box set, The Warner Recordings (1985-1994), available on CD, limited edition vinyl, and digital. Order/save here, and watch the re-released music video for “Stand Up” below.
The Warner Recordings (1985-1994) features the first five solo releases recorded by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and original Van Halen lead vocalist in one comprehensive collection for the very first time. Spanning one of the greatest runs in rock ‘n’ roll history, the set offers lifelong fans and newcomers alike the chance to experience Crazy From The Heat [1985], Eat ‘Em And Smile [1986], Skyscraper [1988], A Little Ain’t Enough [1991], and Your Filthy Little Mouth [1994] in succession.
On January 28, 1985, Roth officially debuted as a solo artist with the Crazy From The Heat EP. It crashed the Top 15 of the Billboard 200 and reached RIAA Platinum status. Plus, he logged a pair of Billboard Hot 100 hits – the medley of “Just a Gigolo/I Ain’t Got Nobody” vaulted to #12, while his take on “California Girls” by The Beach Boys soared to #3, replicating the 1965 chart success of the original. Meanwhile, Crazy From The Heat would later serve as the title of his New York Times best-selling autobiography in 1997.
The EP paved the way for his first full-length solo LP, Eat ‘Em And Smile. Released on July 7, 1986, it bowed in the Top 5 of the Billboard 200 and eventually went RIAA Platinum. Roth hyper-charged his sound, accompanied by an all-star band consisting of Billy Sheehan [bass], Gregg Bissonette [drums], and Steve Vai [guitar]. Together, they served up anthems such as “Yankee Rose,” “Tobacco Road,” “That’s Life,” and more.
1987 saw the platinum Skyscraper return Roth to the Top 10 of the Billboard 200, elevated by “Just Like Paradise.” Meanwhile, Roth kicked off the nineties with the gold-selling A Little Ain’t Enough in 1991. It marked his fourth straight Top 20 debut on the Billboard 200 and boasted fretwork from Jason Becker. Finally, he dropped Your Filthy Little Mouth in 1994, this time collaborating with none other than iconic producer Nile Rodgers [Madonna, David Bowie], churning out staples such as “She’s My Machine.”

In live news, David Lee Roth has been confirmed as one of the headliners for this year’s M3 Rock Fest, taking place May 2-4 at the Merriweather Post Pavilion in Columbia, Maryland.
M3 Rock Festival is skidding into its 16th edition with another jam-packed weekend of internationally-renowned hard rock and heavy metal on May 2, May 3, and May 4. Tickets are on sale now through Ticketmaster.com.
M3 Rock Festival 2025 kicks off Friday, May 2 with ground-shaking performances by Sebastian Bach and Snake Oil. “Can’t Get Enough”? Don’t worry, the fun’s just getting started.
The full festival experience expands Saturday, May 3 with a rare headlining performance by Van Halen’s legendary frontman David Lee Roth alongside an afternoon packed with performances by a powerful lineup of other multiplatinum-selling rockstars including Accept, Winger, Slaughter, Steven Adler, Child’s Play, Red Voodoo, and more.
But that’s still not all – the festival continues Sunday, May 4 with the long-awaited reunion of Stephen Pearcy and Warren DeMartini performing Ratt, Ace Frehley, Warrant, Great White, Lita Ford, Vixen, Spread Eagle, and Soundcheck Rock.
“It’s only appropriate that the first show in years is at M3 2025,” said Stephen Pearcy, Ratt’s founding lead singer. “It’s about the bands legacy. There was no question when the idea was brought up to me about doing something with Warren again. I know what we can do as a team, and that’s writing great songs and Kickin’ some ass onstage. You’re getting ALL the Ratt hits and more – let the “Invasion Celebration” begin! I guess hell does freeze over. Never say never, right? Pearcy / De Martini back in the cellar, let’s go!”
Sixteen has never sounded so sweet!
From the “Jump” M3 has always more than a festival – it’s a community, founded and fed by the ‘80s arena rock experience. M3 has evolved into an annual pilgrimage for diehard fans from six continents, 30 countries, and every state, bringing together those who grew up with the music in the ’80s as well as younger fans who embrace the fun and excitement of the glam metal era.
