Description: Brothers by Alex Van Halen. A NEW hardcover (2024). In his rough yet sweet voice, Alex Van Halen recounts the brothers’ childhood (Eddie Van Halen and Alex Van Halen) first in the Netherlands and then in working class Pasadena, California, with an itinerant musician father and a very proper Indonesian-born mother -- the kind of mom who admonished her boys to “always wear a suit” no matter how famous they became -- a woman who was both proud and practical, nonchalant about taking a doggie bag from a star-studded dinner. He also shares tales of musical politics, infighting, and plenty of bad-boy behavior. But mostly his is a story of brotherhood, music, and enduring love."I was with him from day one,” Alex writes. “We shared the experience of coming to this country and figuring out how to fit in. We shared a record player, an 800 square foot house, a mom and dad, and a work ethic. Later, we shared the back of a tour bus, alcoholism, the experience of becoming successful, of becoming fathers and uncles, and of spending more hours in the studio than I’ve spent doing anything else in this life. We shared a depth of understanding that most people can only hope to achieve in a lifetime." There has never been an accurate account of them or the band, and Alex wants to set the record straight on Edward’s life and death. Brothers includes never-before-seen photos from the author’s private archives. FREE shipping in the United States.
