Just a reminder that David Lee Roth's Skyscraper album is awesome
Definitely some pop rock vibes, and so did Van Halen and sounds similar. Of course few people beat Eddie Van Halen on the guitar (some say nobody does), but David Lee Roth's band had some of the best of the best:
Steve Vai, guitar - Frank Zappa Band, Whitesnake
Billy Sheehan, bass - Mr. Big, Sons of Apollo
Gregg Bissonette, drums - Joe Satriani Band, Electric Light Orchestra, Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band
Brett Tuggle, keyboard - Fleetwood Mac, Steppenwolf, Rick Springfield
Magic Moreno, Producer/Mixer - Eric Clapton, The Commodores, Phil Collins, Michael Jackson
