Critics Review
“A poignant love letter from Alex to his brother and bandmate Eddie.” - People
“Alex doesn’t scrimp on entertaining anecdotes, such as how the roar that opens “Runnin’ with the Devil” entailed ripping the horns out of their cars, and when on tour with Black Sabbath, frontman Ozzy Osbourne wandered into the wrong hotel and slept for two days.” - USA Today
“The tome is undeniably emotional, with some passages written directly to his late brother.” - Billboard
“Most importantly, Brothers is a love letter to the music they created and Eddie, who has been called for decades one of the greatest guitarists of all time.” - NPR’s Fresh Air
“Frank, funny.” - Rolling Stone
“Brothers is not a story of regret. It’s a tale of understanding, of acceptance, of love. Mostly, of humanness.” - New York Times
