Brothers by Alex Van Halen
In this intimate and open account nothing like any rock-and-roll memoir youve 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.‘Brothers winds up telling a far more complex story than its author may even have intendedAt once, it’s a story about the power of familial love, the mysteries of genius, via Eddie’s paradigm-shifting approach to the guitar, and the role of the immigrant in America, with all of its related issues of race and class. At the same time, it’s an age-old story of rock‘n’roll excess, told with the ribald humour you’d expect from a band that often served as a synonym for “party”.’ Guardian
‘There’s plenty of musical minutiae here, but it’s a bigger, deeper read than that – it’s about living and dying. The intractable grip of brotherly love and what happens when that earthly bond is broken forever. A wonderful book.’ Classic Rock
