Description: ALEX VAN HALEN SIGNED Book "Brothers" AUTOGRAPHED Hardcover Copy. I went to the book signing with Alex at the New York City signing at Barnes and Noble. Alex was so unbelievably cool, it was so great to meet the drummer for my favorite band of all time, and I spoke to him in his first language, Dutch. This book is brand new, unread, opened only for Alex to sign it as you see in the photo. Also included is one backstage pass from the recent auction of the Alex Van Halen collection. Genuine, brand new, unused, with a photocopy of the certificate of authenticity signed by Alex Van Halen himself. The backstage pass measures 3.75 inches across. Peel off the backing and apply it to your jacket or keep it for posterity! Book Overview In this intimate and open account—nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir you’ve ever read—Alex Van Halen shares his personal story of family, friendship, music and brotherly love in a remarkable tribute to his beloved brother and band mate.Told with acclaimed New Yorker writer Ariel Levy Brothers is seventy-year-old drummer Alex Van Halen’s love letter to his younger brother, Edward, (Maybe “Ed,” but never “Eddie”), written while still mourning his untimely death. In his rough yet sweet voice, Alex recounts the brothers’ childhood, 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.
