Reply To: Intersting Take on the Billboard Interview

guitard: Alex Van Halen is a founding member of the band and was never in a million years going to be relegated to being a salaried sideman.It just doesn’t work that way.

Eddie is the band and therefore, his brother will also always be part of the band. The band will always be Ed and Al. They have replaced the bass player with Ed’s own DNA. The singers have been interchangeable and the band remains Van Halen with Ed and Al at its core.
