LOS ANGELES -- David Lee Roth, one of the most outrageous personalities in rock 'n' roll, jumps into a new adventure with the October 28 release of Rhino Records' DAVID LEE ROTH: THE BEST, a 20-track collection that features the brand new, previously unreleased radio single "Don't Piss Me Off" and spans his solo years from 1985 onward. Since his departure from Van Halen in 1985, Roth's solo albums have sold more than seven million copies worldwide.

Coinciding with his forthcoming autobiography Crazy From The Heat (Hyperion), DAVID LEE ROTH: THE BEST will carry a suggested retail price of $16.98/CD, $10.98.cassette, and will also be available through RhinoDirect at 1-800-432-0020.

DAVID LEE ROTH: THE BEST features 20 tracks culled from Roth's four-song Crazy From The Heat EP and all of his solo albums, Eat 'Em And Smile, Skyscraper, A Little Ain't Enough, and Your Filthy Little Mouth. This comprehensive collection also includes Roth's cover of the Beach Boys' "California Girls," his remake of Louis Prima's "Just A Gigolo/"I Ain't Got Nobody," plus "Yankee Rose," "Goin' Crazy," "Just Like Paradise," "Stand Up," "Shyboy," "Tobacco Road," and many more.

An international symbol of celebration, Roth's tales from the larger than life spectacle that was the glory days of Van Halen are the stuff of rock 'n' roll legend. One of rock's most outspoken practitioners, Roth exploded onto the scene internationally when the first Van Halen album hit the racks in 1978. Immediately after the album's release, the band and Roth found themselves permanently ensconced in the highest echelon's of rock's hierarchy, with packed stadium concerts and more than 50 million records sold.

One of the things that makes Roth more than just one of the greatest frontmen in rock is his one-of-a-kind take on life and his unstoppable enthusiasm, which will be detailed in his Crazy From The Heat autobiography due in-stores on October 24.

With seemingly limitless energy and graphic clarity, Roth recounts his upbringing, road stories from his days in Van Halen, and his travels all over the world, from the Himalayas to Park Bench, Oklahoma. His unique, thought-provoking bar room philosophy courses throughout the unapologetic, Technicolor, high-fiber, page-turning blast that gets naked, demolishes hotel rooms, and makes readers wish they were right there.

Crazy From The Heat promises to be the above-board, constitutional, on-the-level low-down from the man who once said, "If all the world's a stage, then I want better lighting."
