Hear the final Alex and Eddie Van Halen instrumental song

The legendary Van Halen co-founder and drummer, Alex Van Halen, is currently promoting his new book Brothers, which tells the story of him and his brother Eddie Van Halen, as well as the story of the band.

With the audiobook, a final instrumental song made by the two, called “Between Us Two” was released. The beautiful six-minute instrumental track really sets the incredible mood for his book and audiobook, which was narrated by himself.

The track is available on Youtube and can be downloaded for free via the Van Halen website.

In an interview with Rolling Stone, the first one after his brother’s passing, he revealed they have a lot of unreleased material. Some of it will come out with the book but he said that he has plans for other releases and he even reached out to OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT to see if they could analyze Eddie‘s playing and maybe help to generate new guitar solos. He also revealed that the singer he has in mind to complete the vocals on those recordings is Led Zeppelin‘s Robert Plant.

“They’re all little pieces (of unreleased music). A bunch of licks don’t make a song. (I asked OpenAI if they could analyze) the patterns of how Edward would have played something (to generate new guitar solos) .Ideally, it’d be Robert Plant (for the vocals). You’re gonna think I’m out of my fucking mind. But when conditions are right, things will manifest.”

However, the drummer said he hasn’t talked with Robert Plant since 1993.

Alex is also working on a possible biopic of the band

During the past decade many successful biographical movies about bands were released, like the ones from Queen, Elton John and Mötley Crüe. Alex Van Halen revealed in the same conversation he is also working on that said there is no hurry for it, since the Queen movie, for example.

“It’s just a long-term plan. I mean, to put things in perspective, the Queen movie took 30 years to make.”
