I was the young drummer in the 80s.That just searched high and low for anything on this dude. I bought every guitar player magazine because I loved his brother hoping somethingonAlex. So this is gold to me bro. Hugs n Kisses to you man!!🖤🖤🏴☠️🖤😘😘
Awesome Steve!
Happy you guys are digging the post. Alex talking drums is very cool. Thanks.
This is golden Steve. I long for all these older VH interviews.
Alex is a great drummer, and was just as important in VH's sound.
Sweet!!
Great to hear Alex talking about snare tone. The term ‘brown sound’ wasn’t originally used for Ed’s guitar sound. Alex coined the expression for his snare Ed once said…And this would have been recorded just before Alex came up with the Simmons drum intro for Hot For Teacher at the new 5150 studio which people claimed had a drag car racing engine in it. But it was just Alex playing the Simmons. Later Ed said that Alex stopped playing Simmons drums because there was no ‘give ‘ in them when the stick hit them. Like hitting a rock hard concrete surface and playing them for a long time could put strain on the wrists…..( Paul)
Well done Steve ! Excellent (Paul)
Gr8 Stuff Steve....Alex a Brilliant Drummer and his Technical Prowess and Knowledge is Amazing...His Drum Sound was so distinctive in Van Halen, especially in the Early Albums with a lot less production on them...Cheers fm Damo😀🙌
Thanks Steve! I was only 17 in 1983.
Also, his comments about live album trickery are pretty much verbatim what the group did for Live Right Here, Right Now in 1993.
Is this right before the US Fest?

James Brown "Hot (I Need to Be Loved, Loved, Loved)" is almost a note-for-note "Fame" by David Bowie
‼️IMPORTANT👇🏼
GREAT Info
for such TYPE INFO/FACTS:
Prob good to mention also that it’s the other way around
Same but FAME is the copy note for note of JAMES BROWNS SONG
@@jennybaji421 - That is incorrect. David Bowie had written the song earlier in the same year. James Brown took Bowie's version and did a remake. Reportedly, Bowie was thrilled with Brown's remake.
Never heard anyone disparage Stewart Copeland's snare sound. He must have been a few malt liquors in...
Copeland's snare sound was certainly unique, that's for sure.
