An unofficial, fan-made documentary on the life and career of Eddie Van Halen.
This third part covers the early bands that Edward and Alex Van Halen played in, and examines how they came to join forces with former cross-town rival David Lee Roth.

It features some previously unreleased audio with Alex Van Halen from 1985, courtesy of the great Steve Rosen, which was part of the interview process for his autobiography with Edward that never was. An extra special thank you to Steve for that.
