1 Question
Is anyone else beginning the countdown to the release of Alex Van Halen’s autobiography in October? Sub-question, if you follow DLR on social, you can see he’s being particularly odd, even going so far as to rip on Wolfie and Eddie - is this a pre-war strike cuz Alex may not be so kind to him in the book?
KRH - Yes. Absolutely. Lord knows there is no love lost between Roth and the Van Halen camp. In the latter years, it was clear that Alex and Eddie controlled the narrative. While I don’t think Alex’s book will provide 100% truth, I feel comfortable predicting, truth or not, the book will be more cogent than DLR’s rebuttals.
Cure for Pain is such a wonderful album! Love Buena! Rob Harvilla mentions the album (and that song) in the last episode of 60 Songs that Made the 90s - I just listened to the episode yesterday (it’s the Closing Time episode).
