What did Van Halen think of Hendrix?

So this sounds a little bit too ridiculous to comprehend so let's just take this with a grain of salt: apparently Eddie Van Halen thought fellow guitar god Jimi Hendrix was a bit too “sloppy” for his taste. At least that's what former Whitesnake guitarist Adrian Vandenberg says.

Don’t shoot the messenger here but a Whitesnake guitarist says Eddie Van Halen once told him that Jimi Hendrix was just a bit ‘sloppy’. So this sounds a little bit too ridiculous to comprehend so let’s just take this with a grain of salt: apparently Eddie Van Halen thought fellow guitar god Jimi Hendrix was a bit too “sloppy” for his taste. During a chat with Kylie Olsson (via Ultimate Guitar), Vandenberg talked quite a bit about Eddie and anecdotes about hanging out with the legendary guitarist back in 1994 when he was recording Manic Eden’s debut (and only) album. When asked what it was like playing with Eddie, Vandenberg says they “didn’t really play-play, we just were there with guitars on the left.” Instead, the pair ended up chatting about who their favourite guitar player was. “I said, ‘Well, it’s Jimi Hendrix'” recalls the Whitesnake guitarist. “And [Eddie] thought Jimi Hendrix was too sloppy; his favorite was Eric Clapton.” Interesting. Again, don’t shoot the messenger, we’re just passing on what Vandenberg said about what Eddie said about Jimi Hendrix. Love Classic Rock?

Eddie has been known to perform some of Hendrix’s songs during gigs and he recently covered ‘If 6 Was 9‘, which was released posthumously. So in short, Eddie may or may not have said he thought Hendrix was “sloppy,” but it looks like he sure did respect the hell out of his fellow guitar god.

There are few more famous guitars in all guitardom than Billy Gibbons’ 1959 Les Paul, known to guitar aficionados worldwide as Pearly Gates. The ZZ Top guitarist acquired the instrument in 1968, just as the band were starting to make a name for themselves in Texas.

Pearly Gates has played a starring role on every one of the band’s records from ZZ Top’s First Album in 1971 to the present. So, how did big, bad Billy G. get his hands on this little slice of heaven?

“There was a rancher outside of Houston, TX who played in a country band but turned his attention towards wrangling cattle,” explained Gibbons. “It was rumored he had the guitar under one of his beds in his ranch house and wanted to sell it.” Without wasting a minute of time, the guitarist drove until he found the elusive rancher. “I had $250 in my pocket, and when he pulled out that ‘59 Burst, the deal went down,” he said.
