	Las Vegas Mercury: Music: Shine on, crazy Diamond Dave
		With the release of 1984--arguably Van Halen's finest work--the two were already on the outs (a situation exacerbated by the release of Roth's solo EP Crazy from the Heat), and Roth soon found himself without a band to front.
		Rather than fade into the annals of rock 'n' roll obscurity, though, Roth swathed himself in the chrysalis of reinvention and emerged as Diamond Dave--a dim-witted, libido-driven surfer dude bent on recapturing his lost glory.
		Just as Van Halen was installing Sammy Hagar in his stead, Diamond Dave was scoring hits with gaudy, overblown covers of the Beach Boys' "California Girls" and Vegas lounge crooner Louis Prima's "Just a Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" medley.

	Amazon.com: Diamond Dave: Music: David Lee Roth
		This album expands on the concept of 1985s Crazy From the Heat, which was an EP of cover songs.
		On this release, Roth interprets great rock n' roll tunes by Steve Miller, Jimi Hendrix, the Doors, the Beatles, and Savoy Brown, to name a few, invigorating them with his infamous Diamond Dave attitude.
		Considering the oeuvre, to call this the best pop album of David Lee Roth's star-crossed solo career might risk damning it with faint praise.

	David Lee Roth
		Roth was still a member of Van Halen when he released his debut EP, Crazy From The Heat, a collection of tongue-in-cheek songs.
		Roth fired the entire band shortly after and moved to New York where in '93 he would be arrested for buying $10 worth of marijuana.
		Two new tunes were recorded, but the band hastily let Roth go afterwards, despite his belief he was once again back in the group.

	David Lee Roth
		In 1985 David Lee Roth released Crazy From the Heat, an EP of cover songs that scored big with versions of Cab Calloway's Just a Gigolo and The Beach Boys' California Girls (the video for the latter thoroughly investigating the possibilities of how much T&A can be squeezed into three minutes of film).
		The resulting 1978 debut release Van Halen proved to be a huge success with the heavy rock crowd - as much for the music as for the reputation for excess surrounding the band (a reputation largely resulting from the on- and off-stage antics the singer).
		Spawned of a schoolteacher and an ophthalmologist, David Lee Roth entered the world in the Monroe County town of Bloomington- and the future of the spandex industry was insured as a result.

	CANOE -- JAM! Music - Karen Bliss's Lowdown: Insider Canadian music news: Hot Hot Heat records acoustic EP
		"I actually have video footage of us arm wrestling over it the last day of preproduction, whether or not we're going to put it on the album and Dante lost, so it didn't make it on the album, but I love that song."
		The band is presently on a U.K./European tour, which will be immediately followed by a U.S. stint which starts May 20 at New York's Webster Hall, and runs through to June 13 at the Avalon in Los Angeles.
		It was just a crazy night, and every single lyric is a story.

	MySA.com: Music
		April 1985: Despite releasing a four-track solo EP, 'Crazy From the Heat,' earlier in the year, the flamboyant Roth's announcement that he's leaving to front his own band is a shocker.
		Band keeps the name Van Halen over the objections of its record label.
		Van Halen in S.A. On March 25, 1995, Van Halen played the last rock concert in the old HemisFair Arena, which was torn down later that year.
