1988 By Steve Newton Old Diamond Dave had his hands full surpassing his 1986 LP Eat ‘Em and Smile, but with this new one, Skyscraper, he’s certainly done just that. With a flamboyant, larger-than-life stage presence and a party-hardy surfer-dude persona (not to mention his acrobatic leaps, long mane of blond hair, and skintight spandex outfits), Roth was an integral part of Van Halens meteoric rise to global dominance during the late 70s and early 80s. Album review: David Lee Roth, Skyscraper (1988) ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED IN THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT, FEB. Vai and Sheehan would jump ship after this one to follow their own careers, with reasonable success. In the eyes of countless hard rock fans, David Lee Roth is the prototypical frontman. Dave's energy is great as always but you get the feeling the band isn't quite as excited as they had been on the first album. This is a very good, but not great album. But that’s nothing compared to what the former Van Halen frontman endured while. Vai contributes his trademark acoustic interlude which Dave turns into "Damn Good." "Hot Dog and Shake" features blistering legato soloing by Vai, and "Perfect Timing" see Dave in classic form. Some fans found David Lee Roth 's synthy Skyscraper stomach churning when it was released on Jan. The only single off this album was "Just Like Paradise," a nice feel-good anthem that would have easily fit on a Van Halen album. The resulting album is very consistent but offers no surprises we hadn't already heard on the album before. This time guitarist Steve Vai was no secret, and he gets a larger role in the songwriting. The title track of Roth’s second album Skyscraper found release as the flipside of the album’s third single Damn Good.
So he essentially followed the same formula and put out Skyscraper. Dave must have been pleased as punch when Eat 'Em and Smile did so well.
