Crazy from the Heat is the autobiography of former Van Halen lead vocalist and successful American solo artist David Lee Roth.

The cover of the book shows Roth at the scene in the Seychelle Islands where the artwork for the EP was taken and striking a different pose, this time with a woman in his arms.

A Princeton University graduate student recorded around 100 hours of Roth's monologues and transcribed them onto 1200 pages, from which the 359-page book was edited.

Roth also discusses how his Jewish background impacted his performances,[2] and shows a photo of his fourth grade class, which according to the caption included Stephen Hawking, Oliver Stone, two members of Journey, and Al Gore[3] (presumably this is an inside joke as Hawking, Stone and Gore are significantly older than Roth.

[5] Henry Rollins "worked closely" with Roth on the project and advised him on a spoken word album or tour, which has not yet materialized.
