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.

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 🙏🙏

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.

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.

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 ...

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!!

Thank you Wolfgang those memories will live on fantastic photos

I am still having trouble getting through these type of compilations when it comes to Eddie. ❤

It has such an aura about it. Very special place.

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! ❤❤❤😢

Wolfie keepin the dream alive

Thanks for sharing, this was absolutely fantastic!! #RIPEVH 😢

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 👑❤️

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.

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.

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!!!!🤘🤘🤘🤘

If walls could talk. The magic that happened there Thank You

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.

Just like you...I miss him so much. I can't tell how much Ed inspired me in *all* phases of life.

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 ✌️🎸👑❤️🤍🖤

Awesome. Thanks for sharing.

just saw Wolf & the boys 5 days ago in PA. kicked ass....Intervals was awesome too!!

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

Thank you so much for sharing ❤️🤗

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.😞

This is great! Thanks for posting, hit me in the feels. A world without The Mighty Eddie Van Halen is rough. Rip Eddie!

This totally made my day!!!

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!

SAW THE 5150 TOUR IN PITTSBURGH PA IN THE CIVIC ARENA,,,,ILL NEVER FORGET IT !!!

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..❤❤❤

Seen all era concerts! Bought all the singles, imports and full length CDs. Learned all the guitar music on guitar! Thanks VH!

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!

Watched an interview with Eddie in the studio. He said it was permitted as a “racquetball court”. Coolest “racquetball court” I’ve ever seen.

This one hit me too. Imagine the music on all of those reels of tape sitting on the shelves…..we miss you Eddie.

If they opened this up for touring I would literally drive across country to see it.

This was really cool to view on Fathers day. Happy Fathers Day Eddie RIP.

Just fantastic

This is amazing, thank you!

Really enjoyed this! Thank you!!!!!

WOW I have actually seen the MA plate Zappa around here in MA

Interesting seeing a SRD Rockman rack unit in the cabinet. Awesome video !!!

Thanks so much for sharing this video. A forever grateful fan.

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.❤❤❤❤

Wolfgang Vanhalen, please keep the studio alive brother.Your dad's legacy will always be on earth.

Awesome. So many great albums recorded there. Very nice. Glad to see Wolfgang carry on legacy. 🎸🤘R.I.P. Eddie

Thanks for sharing.. nice collection

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.

We miss you Eddie! Cool studio.

To be in there. A dream. EVH - Legend. RIP King. 🤘🏻🇺🇸🎸🔥

As far as I am concerned? This is a part of our American history…

Thank you!

Wow! Great photos! Neat to see some Rockmans in the rack.

Im so fortunate to have grown up as a teen in the 80s and this band always brings back some of the best times of my life when its playing ❤🤟❤... A legend gone but definitely never forgotten.. rip mr EDDIE VAN HALEN 🫶

The art of a craftsman. Thanks for sharing.

Cool to see the section they added on for the tape machines.

It’s hard to hold back Tears 😭. The Mighty Van Halen ❤️ RIP King Edward

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! 🤘🏼🎸😎

oh the music on the walls that might not make it to our ears..so many tapes and not enough time to hear them. Miss his genius and his smile

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)

Thank you for sharing! Iconic

I grew up in the basement below 5150. It was maddening.

Wow! Thanks.

You picked a great song for 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.

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.

Thanks Wolf for sharing this amazing video..your pops had a major roll in my life and many others folks..gave us a chance to dream and even change our personal direction in life..I remember seeing the hide your sheep tour diver down I was a kid 14 I saw Edward and your beautiful mother Ms Valerie. .on the his side of the stage I was hooked..I went and purchased an Ibanez destroyer and a peavey amp..I took 4 lessons and I learned Pretty Woman Unchained little guitars...and in 6 months I was playing live at parties your Dad turned my nerdy goofball military kid to a rock n roll jamming dude ..I wouldn't change one thing from then on...I respect anc enjoy your music and most of all how you handle the people talking smack haha especially how you handle Roth haha my goodness he's so full of poo man..but Roth is Roth...Van Halen lives in all of us man...keep on killing it...and yes keep making them cameos w bands I just saw Loss control...my god you simply OWNED IT!! Pops is all grins!!! Love the V-H bloodline

love the history. Thanks for sharing!

👏🏼 thanks

Amazing some of these photos i've never seen yet !!!THANKS BRAZIL

Thanks Wolf.I love those music man’s! What great photos.

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 : )

Very strong connection in that place

Would love to see more of the guitar vault. Saw Frankie, Shark, and Rude, but there is sooo much more: the V, the ‘59 burst, just to name a few.

Man. I seriously miss the hell outta Eddie Van Halen. That building & studio should become a heritage building & preserved till the end of time.

Wolfie's father is looking down and smiling...

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 -

It's almost as if he just stepped out for a minute and will be right back. Thank you so much for posting this.

Absolutely love the Studers

Some of these are screen shots from Behind the Music. Nice though. Thanks! RIP EVH🎸

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.

Thank you Wolfgang.

Thanks, that was freaking awesome 👌

Thank you for the pix!!

I’m sorry for your loss, Wolfgang.

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.

Thanks for sharing your memories growing up in such a loving and Willy Wonka type place for musicians.

Awesome! Thanks!

5150 needs to be turned into a museum.

AWESOME!!! 😎🤟

That was great, thank you!

Saw your first stadium show with guns and roses Hersey park, fantastic

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?"

I remember when the debut album came out in ‘78 I ran out to Tower Records and bought the 8 track tape after hearing Running With Devil for the first time, my future wife was working the counter. After getting the courage to ask her out we dated four years & have been married 42 years.

THAT'S SUCH A COOL RACKETBALL COURT!!! ;)

This Band had a Buzz and vibe for the Time that was UNTOUCHABLE And Never will be Matched by ANYONE Not Even CLOSE!!! THEMIGHTY VAN HALEN!!!

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.

reminds me of a dream i had recording here with eddie producing it! best dream i will never forget!

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank YOU...

With so much there archived on tape, I hope Wolf eventually goes through it and releases the best stuff.

Amazing guy he was along with the rest of the band members; Mike and Wolfgang, Dave and Sammy.
