A Little Ain't Enough was the third full-length album by David Lee Roth (of Van Halen), released in 1991. It was certified Gold on April 11, 1991. The album featured the lead guitar work of Jason Becker, a talented guitarist who was diagnosed with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS, aka Lou Gehrig's Disease) just a week after joining the band. He managed to finish recording the album, but was unable to tour in support of the album, as his condition left him with little strength in his hands.
