Alex Van Halen

Hear the full six minutes of instrumental subtitled “Between Us Two” as drummer’s memoir is published.

Drummer describes end of the original lineup as the most disappointing moment of his life – until Eddie’s death.

"I know people want to hear it," Alex Van Halen says.

Drummer explains why he had no interest in joining Hagar and Michael Anthony's Van Halen tribute tour.

"I wanted to grab him by the throat and shake him and go, 'What the [expletive] were you thinking, Ed?" he says in new interview.

More than 40 years later, the drummer is still angry over his brother's decision to play on Michael Jackson's hit.

Drummer Alex Van Halen explains what could have been.

"Dave, you gotta work as a community, motherf---er," drummer says.

"Outliving my little brother? This just wasn't the plan," Van Halen declares.

He'll also participate in a live conversation event during the week of the book's late October release.
