   This sounds made up, I fear.   
      
   Here's why: In 1985, Van Halen got rid of their singer, producer, stage crew   
   and manager.    
      
   The manager - Ed Leffler - from 1985 onward had been Hagar's manager. His   
   contact, or "friend" if you will.   
      
   What the singer (Hagar) is getting at here just sounds like somewhat   
   desperate, selfish lies.   
      
   1) Rush aren't cool and aren't "on MTV all the time" but they have a huge   
   audience globally, and have had one consistent manager.    
      
   2) Getting Alex's brother in law to manage the band would mean Hagar's clout   
   in managing percentages, sales, business decisions would possibly be lessened.   
      
   AS IF people really preferred the shiny/AOR fake stuff that "Van Hagar"   
   released anyway.    
      
   Ironically, by the time Ray Danniels was offering to manage the bands various   
   things, they were a "legacy" or nostalgia act anyway. I don't think they ever   
   had the popularity they once had in 1984.
