Step inside Sunset Sound with legendary rock photographer Neil Zlozower as he remembers one of his wildest Van Halen shoots. Those previously lost photos of the band were taken at the world-famous Sunset Sound. Watch Zloz talks about what it was like to get an all-access pass to the band's rehearsal space and what it was really like watching the band create some of the most iconic music ever.

In this clip, Neil talks about Eddie’s famous “bomb” on the floor of the studio – an old airplane bomb shell he used to hide his electronics, with his pedalboard laid out beside it – and David Lee Roth’s bare feet and bandaged toes, still wrecked from the high-flying jumps he’d been doing for the Van Halen II photo shoot. This short is taken from the full Gibson TV episode where Neil Zlozower, one of the greatest rock and roll photographers of all time, shares his Van Halen stories, studio memories, and the moments behind some of the most legendary images in rock history.
