We are releasing part one of my “lost interview” with Alex Van Halen on Saturday March 2nd on my YouTube channel.

This interview was conducted back on September 9th, 1985—up at 5150 Studios in Studio City—where I had what turned out to be an incredible four-and-a-half hour sit-down with Reverend Al (which I believe lasted over two days).

Alex had seen me around the studio often with Eddie Van Halen and knew I was working on his brother’s official biography—so I seized the moment and asked the Van Halen drummer if he was up for a chat in the near future and much to my surprise, he was ready to dive in then and there.

Thankfully my cassette player was always in my car, so I grabbed it and headed out to the patio with Alex where we found a couple lounge chairs and settled in for an open, honest, forthcoming, marathon conversation.

To date this was probably the lengthiest and most in-depth interview Al had ever done and I was a grateful to be a part of that moment in Van Halen history.

The series is a six-parter in effort to break it up for you guys and the schedule of the release is below. Thanks, everyone. — Steve

When you turn on your stereo, does it return the favor?

Working my way through these now. Finished #2, and was fascinated by all the different band members (lead singers) I didn’t know about, and even the band name that I hadn’t heard of before! This is great stuff.

def some good nuggets in these. The split was still so fresh so all the pissing on the first singer is a bit overboard, but good info in there still.

I never knew they shot film of the boys (VH) in concert in Japan in 1978.

I found that most of the hatred for DLR was in the 6th (last) part.

While long speculated, Alex confirmed that recordings exist with Dave singing on songs that Sammy did for the 5150 album.
