The Just Like Paradise Songfacts Says David Lee Roth Went Out On The Edge For Rock Climbing Footage Used In The Video And On The Skyscraper Cover Art Showing Roth Clinging Like A Bug To The Solid Rock Face Of A Mountain. That Mountain Is The Famous Half Dome Of Yosemite An Icon Of California Embedded On The State Quarter And The Driver's License. The Really Was Roth Up There Although We Didn't See The "bouts Of Shakes And Deep Breaths" That A Member Of The Crew Later Described. Rock Climbing Is A Very Slow Activity So Most Of The Video Was Performance Footage Of A Preening Roth Augmented By His Guitarist Steve Vai And His 3-Necked Heart-Shaped Guitar. Later In The Video We See Vai With A Much More Sensible Guitar.
