Review: ALL DAAAVE ...ALL NIGHT .... !!! - Yep ,its just as you would imagine a cracking great read and gives you the chance to really understand how this man came to be such a huge rock band frontman influence to all the other frontmen since the late 1970's . I personally met the man in 1988 whilst backstage at The Monsters Of Rock concert at Donnington Park due to Samantha Fox being there (she was at that time keeping Mr Paul Stanley warm at night ) my friend was her photography as she was as any red blooded Sun reader knows hot at that time (press wise I meant ! ) Anywho I digress , Mr Roth was like a total whirlwind that day and was so high on his craft (and with the help of some assorted pharmaceuticals )that he seemed to be impossible to manage backstage . Still if you were there front ,back or centre you know that the line up that year was awesome and his stage show and appearance that day was truly breathtaking !! This book is just the same ,truly awesome and some of his stories which even he claims he might not be to sure about are jaw droopingly insane ! I mean lets be honest can you imagine the things this man as done ,seen ,eaten ,snorted and drunk etc ..etc since 1974 ! So if like me you love this totally unique individual then buy this book and be amazed at how rubbish every other rockstars life as been .... and remember this man and his band VAN HALEN which in my humble opinion started and ended when he left the group is told in his own words and ones that now just recently have been confirmed by the man who again in my humble opinion totally destroyed the magic of VAN HALEN ,Eddy Van Halen . It is bold ,to the point and will I am sure annoy some die hard fans of both VAN HALEN and Eddy but hey as Mr Roth would say in his EAT EM AND SMILE videos ........................FORGET ABOUT IT ..DAVE !! :) Review: Not just a Gigolo, but a great story teller too... - What can you say that Diamond Dave doesn't in his book? I bought this as a holiday read and I must say, I couldn't put it down. I've never been the worlds biggest Van Halen fan, but loved Dave's solo work, so this book was a real education for me. Part traveler, part singer and part philosopher his writing style is easy and a joy to read; almost like having a beer with him and listening! I enjoyed the small chapters that whimsically came from nowhere to interject his story, and for those wanting tell-tales of Rock n Roll: It's all in there. Highlights are the tales of his personal drive to make Van Halen a success, and his strange tales of traveling the world with his friend and roadie. He touches on the demise of VH and his problems with the Van Halen brothers, and I felt (if his side of the tale is to be believed) it pained him greatly that a group he worked so tirelessly to build, could abandon him so quickly. I highly recommend this book, as an insight in to the business and a backstage peek into one of the worlds biggest rock bands. I took a lot of heart from this book, not least of all that Dave really is a Diamond in the rough.. long may he continue to travel and rock! (hopefully with both the midgets..!) ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 278,940 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 209 in Music Business 1,210 in Popular Music 1,338 in Rock & Pop Musician Biographies | | Customer reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (557) | | Dimensions | 12.6 x 2.5 x 19.8 cm | | Edition | New Ed | | ISBN-10 | 0091874807 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0091874803 | | Item weight | 281 g | | Language | English | | Print length | 416 pages | | Publication date | 1 Jun. 2000 | | Publisher | Ebury Press | ## Images ![Crazy From The Heat - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81Iewpn9dbL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ALL DAAAVE ...ALL NIGHT .... !!! *by N***N on 4 August 2015* Yep ,its just as you would imagine a cracking great read and gives you the chance to really understand how this man came to be such a huge rock band frontman influence to all the other frontmen since the late 1970's .

(hopefully with both the midgets..!) ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 100% Dave *by B***N on 6 May 2021* It's a chaotic, digressive and fractured book with sloppily presented "photos" and a lot of narcissistic grandstanding – but that's what you expected, right? It's a pleasure to spend time with the man. His insights into how the music industry works are interesting, but don't expect much about the band or the music. Despite what he says, Dave was always more a front-man than a lead singer. You get the impression he was more concerned with his outfit and the camera angles than with Eddie's solos or Alex's drumming. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57089476-crazy-from-the-heat](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/57089476-crazy-from-the-heat) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-19*
