Alex Van Halen has revealed that David Lee Roth asked Eddie Van Halen to play fewer guitar solos.

In his new memoire, Brothers, released last week, the former Van Halen drummer affirms that Roth's leaving from the band in 1985 was caused by his jealousy over how guitarist Eddie was always in the spotlight.
