That is half-true! Steve Vai was amazing on Eat 'Em And Smile. Every musician on that album wrote and played like they had something to prove, and they stretched themselves and their music to exciting new limits. Producer Ted Templeman still held the reins, and encouraged them to push the envelope without burning down the Post Office. But Roth made a huge mistake when he let Steve Vai co-produce their second album together, "Skyscraper." It sold good enough to pop audiences, but the unbridled, "soft-n-weird" Vai style alienated the diehard Van Halen fans who felt their loyalty to Roth had been abused. Thanks to this unsuccessful experiment on the "Skyscraper" album, David Lee Roth went from filling stadiums full of headbanging metal fans to bombing in Las Vegas as a lounge act a few years later.

@@widehotep9257 I agree, "Eat Em" was the best and Steve did make the next album a loser. Although he did do some really nice guitar playing on there, "Just Like Paradise" with a drum machine just didn't cut it. I saw them on that tour aswell, when Poison opened up, but it didn't do anything for me, no energy whatsoever. I lost interest after that. Steve is always about futuristic effects and overdubs. I don't agree with you saying that I'm "half true", I would say that I'm "equally as true" in bringing up points that you didn't. Thank you

I was the 1986 Toronto show at Maple Leaf Gardens, I’m almost 49 now and I still tell everyone that it was the best concert of my life. He even had the “Green Meanie” out that night, Steve’s Charvel Frankenstrat. That band was “the best” in rock history to me. I remember taking the bus home and feeling fully satisfied, pumped. When people left the Gardens, we were walking across Young Street, between cars, people screaming and cheering. Some were walking over hoods of cars. The opening band “Cinderella “ was on their debut album tour and maaan, those fuckers rocked. We had like 4 hours of balls to the walls Rock n Roll. I still have my stub and I will always boast about it, well, it’s not really boasting, its actually telling the truth. May the 1986 “Eat Em & Smile” band live forever, they deserve it. Cheers P.S. I am a classic VH fan and always will be but Steve Vai, Billy Sheehan, Gregg Bissonette, and DLR were AWESOME !!! I HOPE THEY RELEASEA VIDEO IN HD.

It was his very first solo tour and was out to prove that he can do without VH. The sad part about it was when he was in VH he'd get so spectacularly hammered it would be his fault if anyone thought they sucked. I happened to see both shows, the 1984 Tour and Eat 'Em & Smile Tour, he was drunk as fuck with VH and sang off-key, often forgot the words, and pretty much didn't give a shit. but on his own he looked completely sober and in control and sang every lyric perfectly. that fucker.

You,have the Prince of Pound Mr.Gregg,Bissonett who did not miss a beat, incredible Drumming and One of the best Bass Player's to ever Grove City to coin side note for note along the guitar playing Genius of,Mr.Steve,Vai who basically plays better than most people/aliens out there and do not forget about amusician to play keyboards since the late 70',s and is a total legend and play with Rick Springfield with extraordinary skills and he is Mr.Bret,Tuggle now this was the ticket to the Genius of Mr.David Lee Roth the millions this man has made is well deserving,and if you were ever around him you just would have to respect that!

O.K., I'm going to be the musical snob here. We all know that as great a guitarist as Eddie was without DLR there would never have been a Van Halen. As far as Van Halen vs. Van Hager, my humble opinion is that Sammy has a better voice, but DLR is damn near the greatest front man EVER! Also, check out some his blues cuts ("Tell The Truth", etc.) He's intelligent, funny, witty, and one of the most interesting cats on the planet. I think this quote is his, but whosever, it sounds just like something he would say. Someone brought up during an interview that he had been referred to as "cocky". When he replied he said, "Me?" The interview then said "Just confident, huh?" "Nope, just convinced" replied Dave. "I've been doing this so long, I've convinced myself I can do it!" Gotta love him!
