Building 5150 Studios | The Van Halen 1984 Documentary Episode 1

In 1984, Van Halen experienced great success with their album “Diver Down” and a highly successful tour. However, behind the scenes, the band members were facing internal tensions and conflicts. The album included cover songs due to time constraints. During this time, Eddie Van Halen connected with Frank Zappa and had a jam session at Zappa’s studio. Eddie also produced a song for Dweezil Zappa. Inspired by their experiences, Eddie and his engineer, Donn Landee, decided to build their own home studio called 5150. The band’s relationships continued to deteriorate, leading to their separation after the Diver Down tour.
