She’s My Machine

The Zoo Crew is back, Zoo Freaks, spinning the wild vibes of David Lee Roth’s "She’s My Machine" from his 1994 album Your Filthy Little Mouth! This track’s a high-octane rocker, with Diamond Dave likening his lady to a souped-up ’57 dream car, red and wild in overdrive. Fun fact: the song hit #12 on Billboard’s Rock Charts, proving Roth could still kick it even in the grunge-heavy ‘90s. In a 1994 tour book interview, Roth shared that the song’s groove came from jamming with guitarist Terry Kilgore, capturing that late-night, open-road energy. The music video, directed by Wayne Isham, is pure Roth swagger—think fast cars and bold visuals, a nod to his larger-than-life persona. And get this: the B-side, "Mississippi Power," an atmospheric blues track, was exclusive to the Japanese release, making it a collector’s gem for true fans.

Let’s talk about how David Lee Roth became the rock legend he is. Born October 10, 1954, in Bloomington, Indiana, Roth grew up in a family that loved music and performance. As a teen, he was already fronting bands, channeling his charisma into local gigs. By the early ‘70s, he’d moved to California and joined a little band called Van Halen, where his over-the-top stage presence and vocal chops helped skyrocket them to fame. After splitting with Van Halen in 1985 over creative differences, Roth went solo, dropping the Crazy From The Heat EP, which went platinum with hits like "California Girls." His first full solo album, Eat ‘Em and Smile, teamed him with virtuosos like Steve Vai and Billy Sheehan, cementing his status as a solo star. Roth’s never been just a singer—he’s a songwriter, actor, author, and even a former radio host, always reinventing himself while staying true to his rock ‘n’ roll roots.
