- After Eddie's passing, the studio is still in use and well maintained by Wolfgang Van Halen.
Some details never seen before, such as the room with vintage Studer analog rig for track recording.
I grew up in the house above 5150 and sometimes they would leave the doors open and just jam , definitely very lucky to grow up there. I would see Eddie driving around in his 356 red Porsche , then his Muira then his black Countach , I never met him but I sure wish i had.
That’s awesome. Lucky indeed. Thanks for sharing Cherish those memories
To badd you didn’t record the jams! Sometimes the best stuff!!
Wow, great slideshow!
Yeah.........😂
Wow!!!!
Out of all the years the earth has been here, I was lucky enough to be born in the same era as EDWARD VAN HALEN!! Thank you God 🙏🙏
Having tons of video footage helps
Very definitely true, grateful and blessed that I can say the same thing, my friend 🙏
No fucking doubt brother!!
Great post.
What an Absolutely Amazing Tribute to the One and Only 5150 Studios..
Always and Forever will be the Greatest Band Of my Generation to me ...
I was lucky to have met Eddie and Alex at the race track, Eddie was super nice and you could see the bond they both had for each other.
It has such an aura about it. Very special place.
We all have to thank Wolfgang for being such a down to earth normal guy who’s kind enough to continue the legacy and give us all peaks back in time with these photos/videos/unheard recordings etc.
LOL, he hasn’t put out one unheard recording and he abuses people on twitter if they ask about it.
That would go against his father's wishes, good on him, I wouldn't do it either.
@@drewdean8643 he will do it when his solo career peters out, which, based on the success of his second solo album, will be probably after his third. Expect a turnaround and he’ll start playing VH songs and even doing a VH tribute tour. He will ride the gravy train like Dhani Harrison, Deeezil Zappa and a dozen other rockstar sons.
lol
Down to earth
😂
@@Southjjgravy train 😂
That’s the truth
I am still having trouble getting through these type of compilations when it comes to Eddie. ❤
Same
Thank you Wolfgang those memories will live on fantastic photos
Thanks for sharing, this was absolutely fantastic!!
#RIPEVH 😢
As a die hard and lifelong Van Halen fan this was an absolute treat!! Did anyone else notice the red and white striped Ibanez Destroyer? That guitar is legendary!!
The " shark" guitar.
And the Rude
EVH guitars made a limited run of perfect replicas of it. It sounds otherworldly!
Wow…just hits me in the gut! What a wonderful place! So so much history for this band. Thank you for posting this…I miss EVH, and AVH and…I miss em all!
Nothing is the same anymore. To be a fly on the wall in there at any point. What a gift that would be. Andrew Bennett…I’m truly jealous of your time spent there…and other’s like Chris Bruck. I can’t imagine the things that got heard in that studio! I feel emotional…but not in a joyful way and can’t help it. Maybe I’m just depressed stm…but man…I miss this band. The current drama is ridiculous, and love Wolf for following his own path. Love his playing and singing. Just tremendous!
I need a hug with wings! ❤❤❤😢
If walls could talk. The magic that happened there Thank You
In the behind the music they showed Wolfgang pulling the Frankenstein out of the case which was regular Kramer case lol. The guitar is worth millions and it's in a $100 case
Most guitars are in $100 cases.
Unless it's getting shipped, does it matter what case it's in?
@gtdcoder no but some of those other guitar are in those bigger flight cases
I remember reading in an old Guitar World magazine he was going to a photo shoot and just tossing guitars into the bed of his pickup truck. No cases either! I think the issue was around 1990? He was on the cover with a black background.
@1autumnleaves1 yes I have that magazine
Seen all era concerts! Bought all the singles, imports and full length CDs. Learned all the guitar music on guitar! Thanks VH!
Awesome. So many great albums recorded there. Very nice. Glad to see Wolfgang carry on legacy. 🎸🤘R.I.P. Eddie
This totally made my day!!!
Wolfgang Vanhalen, please keep the studio alive brother.Your dad's legacy will always be on earth.
This is amazing, thank you!
Where the magic was created. I miss Eddie being here so much. His music was a part of my life from 1978 to this very day. It brings tears to my eyes.
You'll never know how much you've enriched my soul by posting this. You can almost feel Eddie's presence there. Thank you for posting!
Long live the King 👑❤️
This is very moving for any fan of EVH but also from the POV of Wolf and Al. Family First!!! There is not a day that goes buy in my life where I don’t here Eddie. What a legacy!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Love the old Ampex tape machines and Panasonic SV-S700 DAT in the older photos...killer tones .. those machines are rock n roll.
Wow! Great photos! Neat to see some Rockmans in the rack.
To be in there. A dream. EVH - Legend. RIP King. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸🔥
Thanks for making this I was thinking how cool the new footage of 5150 looked. There was some cool video when Matt Bruck was being interviewed and you could see Ed’s guitars hanging behind him.. That might be cool to add.. Again thanks ✌️🎸👑❤️🤍🖤
I was raised on these guys! My very FIRST song by van Halen,Jamie's crying. Wccc am 1290 and fm 107 in Hartford,CT. Way back when. 50+ years ago. We lived in great times lads!!
So I raise my glass...a toast to the G.O.A.T.
We sure did my kid has no clue how cool times were back then
Seeing WCCC mentioned is a blast from the past. I grew up in central CT and my radio dial was tuned to 106.9 from age 16 to 22 in the 80s and early 90s.
As far as I am concerned? This is a part of our American history…
Just like you...I miss him so much. I can't tell how much Ed inspired me in *all* phases of life.
Being a drunk and a racist? Any teachings there?
Yes! @2:02 and 4:30 a ROCKMAN unit, designed, built & sold by Tom Scholz (SR&D) of Boston. Since the 80's I still have all 3 of my Rockman amps with that gorgeous distinct Boston sound : )
Yea I spotted those in the racks. I also noticed that big ass Bob Bradshaw switching board on the floor. Thing was giant!
Thank You Wolfgang for sharing a little bit of Your World with us. I have to admit that I got a little bit teared up, just like when i remember friends and loved ones who are no longer here with us in the physical world...😢
However, I'm glad to see Wolf continue with the Van Halen legacy and please keep giving us fans a little deeper glimpse into the Van Halen universe! 🤘🏼🎸😎
BEAUTIFUL ,,,,,MOVING .....I get a lump in my throat when I see those images across history in the studio with the music of the track 5150 PLAYING on the soundtrack. Dear God. (Paul)
WOW I have actually seen the MA plate Zappa around here in MA
Awesome. Thanks for sharing.
I shot baskets on the basketball court I was with my friend Skip Gillette (awesome drummer) who was friends with Eddie and he was visiting him there I was to shy to go meet Eddie (so stupid) there were 2 Lamborghini's in the driveway off to the side of this court -
If they opened this up for touring I would literally drive across country to see it.
If they did that you could probably never get in. lol. Plus they would have to remove me from the premise cause I would never want to leave.
@@b.snider6622 I'd probably get banned for breaking the "Do Not Touch" rule
just saw Wolf & the boys 5 days ago in PA. kicked ass....Intervals was awesome too!!
Couldn't have picked a better song for this video... 5150 is in my humble opinion the best Van Halen song ever... thanks for sharing a look inside 5150 studio..❤❤❤
The pictures of 5150 in 2024 with Wolfie look like Eddie never even left.....everything is still the same. You are looking around like, "Where is Eddie at?"
That shot at 1:48 made me laugh, the rack of 5150 heads marked 5150, 5151, 5152 and 5153. I'm so happy that Wolf is keeping that place alive with music!
Eddie passing is and was the hardest one to accept. I know many great Legends have passed, But for some reason this one really HITS Home. It feels like yesterday.😞
To think what might be on those tapes stored at 5150. Doubt I'll live long enough to hear the VH gems hidden away there.
I am SO thankful to Wolf for two reasons 1) for being one of the most incredible musicians walking the planet 2) for keeping his dad’s legacy alive. I still can’t believe we lost VH and Rush within 10 months of each other
Man I'm right there with ya. What a void losing them both at once.
We were on the Outer Banks of North Carolina when word came out of Eddies passing. We were on the ferry taking us to Ocracoke when my Brother told me and my Son he saw it online. I pulled out my phone and googled and saw it was true. I'm 61 and saw VH 8 times during their prime. 1979, 1981, three times in 1982 and three times in 1984. I saw them once with Cherone and again on the 2007 tour. 2007, we were at the first show in Charlotte. A young Wolf came out before the show and we called out to him and he walked over and signed an autograph for my Son. Fair Warning (1981) was the best show I saw. While on the ferry, I told my Son about Eddies solo on the FW tour. I was standing on the floor (general admission back then, no chairs) about 20 feet from the stage, dead center. When Eddie played the classical part of eruption, there was a huge cheer from the crowd and he looked up and smiled. As I told my Son that, my eyes filled with tears and my voice began to crack up. I saw that show in Charlotte also. It was at what was then the Charlotte Coliseum. It's the Bojangles Coliseum now. Many fun trips to see VH back in the day. Cherished memories. Where have all the good times gone? I enjoyed watching this video. Thanks for posting it.
I saw the original VH in Reynolds Coliseum twice. 82 and 84.
He's got Tom Scholz Rockman stuff
And it's probably the original .
Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🤗
Some of these are screen shots from Behind the Music.
Nice though.
Thanks!
RIP EVH🎸
I would cry if I walked through this sacred place
You picked a great song for this!
What’s the name?
@@sethharris32755150
@@sethharris3275 5150
Title track for the album 5150
Welp…this depressed the fuck out of me.
On the flip side…I literally just got home from driving slowly on my motorcycle with a brand new SA-126 tied to the back.
They’re absolutely wonderful guitars.
Thanks Eddie and Wolfie.
This is great! Thanks for posting, hit me in the feels. A world without The Mighty Eddie Van Halen is rough. Rip Eddie!
Wolfie's father is looking down and smiling...
Wolfgang is just an awesome guy. he looks like a person who is down to earth and just loves what he does and what he has done. He is by far one of the best musicians in today's era. His music his band. So awesome seeing these great photos of everyone.
reminds me of a dream i had recording here with eddie producing it! best dream i will never forget!
Should be made a national historic site so it will remain forever.
The only celeb who's passing really rocked me. RIP King Edward❤
I think that studio should be like the new Graceland and run tours through there for us, old-time rock ‘n’ roll rollers
Thanks for sharing.. nice collection
Watched an interview with Eddie in the studio. He said it was permitted as a “racquetball court”. Coolest “racquetball court” I’ve ever seen.
5150 looks very quiet with out Eddie. What a shame that when someone leaves every thing simes to go quiet. You don't no what you got until it's gone and there's no going back.
Thanks for the pictures wolf.. I miss your pop.. he was a great guy.. lots of memories back in the day in Pasadena..
5150 was such an amazing song that it didn't really need vocals. The music stood for itself.
I would of loved to have been a fly on the wall in that studio.
Interesting seeing a SRD Rockman rack unit in the cabinet. Awesome video !!!
Happy belated birthday Alex.
Just fantastic
Just look at the library of stuff that’s unused. Id buy a full album of just them jamming and Eddie noodling lol
We miss you Eddie! Cool studio.
It’s hard to hold back Tears 😭. The Mighty Van Halen ❤️ RIP King Edward
That was great, you can feel the Rock history of V.H. that was cool.
This was really cool to view on Fathers day. Happy Fathers Day Eddie RIP.
Really enjoyed this! Thank you!!!!!
can anyone read what is written on the cymbal at 2:16 ? i assume the hard to read part is "find Ula" or "find Uli" or something similar but i don't know who AVH is referencing. Thanks
Practice… practice… Find oil!!
@@vanhalenbrasil5150 thanks!
3 Easy Steps to becoming a great musician: 1. Practice 2. Practice 3. Find Oil
Signed Alex Van Halen 02
Thanks for answering - I was wondering. What's the "find oil" about? I'm not a drummer.
@@kristinfield-macumber5899 i think it says "3 Easy Steps to becoming a wealthy musician: 1. Practice 2. Practice 3. Find Oil
Signed Alex Van Halen 02". so its a joke that you will never become wealthy by being a musician. so instead find oil (like strike it rich by finding oil on your property with an oil well).
Aww I started out watching this with cold chills and ended up getting teary eyed. The best of the best miss these guys so much there will never be another van Halen love and miss you guys rip Eddie van Halen.😢❤.
Now we have another awesome band mammoth wvh hope to see him in concert sometime.❤❤❤❤
Cool! I guess there wasn't any songs with DLR singing available huh.
They could literally create a museum with with of the Van Halen stuff, it'd be awesome to visit!
There are no DLR songs named 5150, no. Song was appropriate since the DLR version only did one record there, and 5150 is literally the name of the first Hagar fronted record.
@@SealofPerfection That's how much I disregard Sammy Hagar that I didn't make the connection. I was just thinking Eddie Van Halen.
This one hit me too. Imagine the music on all of those reels of tape sitting on the shelves…..we miss you Eddie.
NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank YOU...
Thank you for posting this. That was FANTASTIC! In my opinion also one of the GREATEST Van Halen 🎉 ever…PERIOD! So many on that 5150 album actually…but that one quickly takes me back to 1986 and the best times of my life! What a time to be 18! Saw them in Washington DC on 8/8/86. $15 and to this day one of the best shows I have ever seen! It will be very interesting to see over the course of the next 5, 10, 20 years what will surface (if any) of all that sacred material inside 5150 studios!
Thank you!
I guess Dave and Sammy were never there..
Nice of him to throw a single pic of Mikey
And Gary too👍🏼
@@gilbertgarza1089
I was being sarcastic.
Who's Gary?
5150 needs to be turned into a museum.
We need a documentary. Please.
THAT'S SUCH A COOL RACKETBALL COURT!!! ;)
Thanks so much for sharing this video. A forever grateful fan.
Too bad theres a hagar song over this
Wolfgang is doing amazing things there still. Wolfie is such a talented guy in his own right. It's awesome to watch him grow as a musician. Hopefully one day, he will catalog on release all of those tapes from the 5150 Archives before they get damaged from time.
Long live EVH! Go get it Wolfie
As in my life time I can only think of 5150 studios as the basis of the new generation of Van Halen with Sammy. I was always a Sammy fan for years but I'll never forget the first time I heard, "Why Can't This Be Love". I actually was having sex with a woman when I heard that song and jumped out of bed and blasted the stereo. I couldn't imagine what I was hearing. It was magical. In my opinion, Sammy and the band brought life to 5150. I only have one wish is that Sammy, Mikey and Alex could one day embrace again in the friendship and love they all shared in Eddie's name. Please guys. Don't let a life long fan down ❤
Would love to hear whats on all those tapes on the back wall.
So sad seeing all that, a lifetime to make and so much music came from it. Now with Ed gone its haunting to see all that over. I know his son will carry on but Ed was a special cat, RIP.
SAW THE 5150 TOUR IN PITTSBURGH PA IN THE CIVIC ARENA,,,,ILL NEVER FORGET IT !!!
Wait to see I Wolfgang ever does any thing beyond covering others.
Wow! Thanks.
I think we can all agree that most of those 2 inch tapes on the wall are ruined and would need baked and fixed to even play😢😢😢😢
Na I bet Eddie kept them in a proper environment to slow any decay. I’ve heard that happen to other artists, they go to remaster old reels and the tape turns to goop on the heads. Shame.
@@sparks2spare782 that wall in that hot tiny room isn’t a proper environment. They haven’t been touched in years
Awesome to see a tribute to Frank Zappa with Thingfish and plooked! 4:39
Awesome. I do hope one day that Wolf reconsiders and releases some of the Material his Dad and Uncle recorded from the past 40 years.
Amazing some of these photos i've never seen yet !!!THANKS BRAZIL
Cool to see the section they added on for the tape machines.
thank you
👏🏼 thanks
The art of a craftsman. Thanks for sharing.
