    Hendrix and Van halen

    I think, had he lived to see it through the 70's Hendrix would have been a fan of Van Halen. Especially Ed's palying which he would have really loved.

    Well what do you guys think?

    I definately agree. But Hendrix also thought that Chicago's lead gutar player was amazing. So if that's the case, he probably would have thought that Ed was a god. Jim would bow down to Ed. Dave has even said in Crazy From The Heat that Hendrix was only repeating what BB King was doing before his time.

      I hope that I have not offended Jimi.

        I've never been a fan of Hendrix. Now let's talk about Stevie Ray Vaughn.

          How can you not like Hendrix but like Stevie Ray Vaughan. SRV's biggest influence was Hendrix all the way. If you listen to Testify from Texas Flood you can really hear a Jimi vibe.

          BTW I think you can also hear a fair bit of Jimi in Ed's playing although technically he's faster and better. But I hear more Hendrix than say Clapton who is supposed to be Ed's main influence.

              I guess I'm thinking about those whammy bar dive bombs and strange noises like feedback, but also those freaky string bends too.

                  I think he might have. Holdsworth played in Soft Machine in the 60's right?

                      So maybe he did get to hear some stellar guitar work...

                        I think if Hendrix were still alive, he would have said: Eddie's guitar playing started turning into shit when Spammy joined the band.

                            Who`s to say that if Hendrix had lived, he wouldn`t have developed some of Eddie`s inventions.

                            Like two handed tapping.

                            I mean, when you think about it, why had noone thought of it before?

                            Do you think that if Ed hadn`t discovered it then we still wouldn`t know abouy it?

                              Just my taste I guess. I always thought Hendrix was overrated.
