by VHND — updated March 25, 2024 Leave a Comment

In a newly released video, Sammy Hagar and Michael Anthony look back on the making of the Van Halen album released 38 years ago this week – 5150.

Hagar posted the video, which you can watch above, along with his and Anthony’s thoughts on the album:

“You can hear the joy we had making this record when you listen back even now. You had four talented people on the same page, with the same goal, making rock ‘n’ roll! That’s 5150 time!” – Sammy

“This was a new beginning for Van Halen, the fire was definitely blazing. It was 5150 time!!!??” – Michael
