Alex Van Halen

"In the old days you’d get a dollar a record, and now you get 50 cents for 275,000 streams. It’s insane. It’s wrong."

Sammy Hagar has revealed in a new interview that he reached out to estranged Van Halen drummer Alex Van Halen recently and was met with radio silence.

While the rest of us sit around wondering whether we're going to hear any new (or old) music from Van Halen anytime soon, Alex and Eddie Van Halen are out doing more important stuff.
