I read the book! I think Alex exaggerates a lot! They did live in the bad part of Pasadena and a couple of white dudes walking around in the wrong place at the wrong time could get beat to crap beat out of them just for being at the wrong place at the wrong time! I have a black friend who grew up right by where they did, and he said that kind of thing happened all the time! But 7 dudes, probably black, beating up one guy with golf clubs, no way! Maybe 7 guys and 1 golf club! Hey, it's a book by a guy who has been through a lot, I'm sure they exaggerate just like Diamond Dave does all the time!
Alex is being a big brother to his family. Sometimes family don’t lesson to you or ur idea’s. So most of the time it dose resolve in anger or physical pain. It’s tough to be loved and at the same time ignored for your good achievements or loving ways communication is always key and great relationships and family in the band in the major football league in a baseball league even in scientific programs do you have to have communications to achieve great goals together or sometimes by yourself💫 Alex you’re doing just fine thank you for all your great music and love for your fans keep living thank you Alex and thank you for posting this cool video
No reason not to believe it. The early seventies was kind of a rough time in it's day. Times were a changing, especially in LA. It had gotten a lot grittier than before. From what I've read about Van Halen, it wouldnt had surprised me. When people are down an out, they usually take more chances in order to survive. Doesn't sound like they grew up bring sheltered.
Alex is an idol of mine , but as far as being beat by 7 guys… golf clubs or not , it’s sounds far fetched. But I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt? The 70’s were a zoo culturally, families and societies had few morals it seems , not excusing his actions. But remember Alex and Eddie come from along line of ALCOHOLICS 🤷🏽♂️🤷🏽♂️!! The temper is a great part of that!!
I'm as big as Van Halen fan has anybody ever has been but the older I get and the more footage I see... Sometimes Edward and Alex disgust me.. I remember when Sammy joined the both of them said this is the greatest thing we've ever had in our band Sammy's the best Sammy's great and then after he leaves they say the opposite... I would imagine the more the brothers drink the worse they get. Pretty sure you nailed it on if you meet your heroes......
So far with everything I’ve heard about Alex VH he is an unlikable person! No im not going to read his book! However ……..I do recommend Geddy Lee’s “My F’n life! Though! It is awsome!
Your production value is very SNL
Anything could happen in this Crazy World. The Van Halen's played hard, fought hard and loved hard.
Alex Van Halen Rules.

Don’t “lesson to you”. Looks like you not “lesson” during school. 😂😂😂😂😂
Who knows. I'm just a fan of all albums from Diver Down to Van Halen one. That's my Van Halen.

I heard someone say recently Alex was drunk and abusive to some of the road crew
Who knows if Alex was a bully or not,but even if he was,he must've turned a new leaf.
chapter in "Brothers" of this story please?
The culprits looked like Michael Anthony and Sammy Hagar.
@@EDDIETRUJILLO-q8p funny stuff
😂😂😂
Hilarious 🤣.
It took 7 or 8 guys to beat down Alex VanHalen is so wrong. He is a real man. It took 7 or 8 punks.

They were saying Sammy was the Best to Piss Dave off.
@@halen5840 Alex stopped drinking in 86 after the death of his Father.... So really there was only one brother drinking.

What was the reason for hitting Alex Van Halen with a golf club.
