When Alex Van Halen released his memoir, Brothers, in October, the book failed to include anything about the Sammy Hagar years of Van Halen, with Alex only writing, "[W]e had a lot of other singers over the years."
In fact, in an interview with Rolling Stone he insisted that when it comes to Van Halen, "the heart and the soul and the creativity and the magic was Dave, Ed, Mike and me," referring to the band's original members, him and brother Eddie Van Halen, frontman David Lee Roth and bassist Michael Anthony.
The rocker made his feelings known in the comments section of an Instagram post featuring a picture of him and Eddie, which he captioned "walking to the stage in the good old days. #1990s #vanhalen I needed to see this photo today to close out this year."
