VAN HALEN Brothers Buy Identical Silver Audi R8s

November 3, 2009

According to TMZ.com, brothers Eddie and Alex Van Halen bought identical $120,000 silver Audi R8s last Friday at Keys Audi in Los Angeles — but, for some reason, Eddie was sent alone to ink the deal.

Sources tell TMZ.com each of the brothers paid for his own ride.

Eddie Van Halen told Rolling Stone magazine that like all of VAN HALEN's albums, the seeds to all great material stems from jam sessions with brother Alex. "What I do on any record is I basically lock myself up in the studio with my brother, and we jam, and whatever comes out is what we (laughs) use," he said. "And a lot of the stuff we, we don't use, 'cause it's not good (laughs). But the good stuff we keep, and we just carry on from there."

VAN HALEN — featuring Eddie and Alex, Eddie's son Wolfgang, and David Lee Roth — are expected to record a new album and tour sometime in 2010.
