Jimi Hendrix Experence vs Van Halen?
Jarl Sigurd
If you had to compare them as individual musicians, how would the
lineups of the Jimi Hendrix Experience and Van Halen compare?
Who is the better musician in each category?
Guitar: Jimi Hendrix vs Eddy Van Halen
Drums: Mitch Mitchell vs Alex Van Halen
Bass: Noel Redding vs Michael Anthony
or Billy Cox vs Michael Anthony
Vocals: Jimi Hendrix vs David Lee Roth
or: Jimi Hendrix vs Sammy Hagar

Guitar - It is a hard choice between Eddie Van Halen and Hendrix, I like Van
Halen better, but I think Hendrix was the better Guitarist.
Drums - Alex Van Halen
Bass, not sure (not listened to the bass on hendrix records)
This is what I would say.

Nobody who ever spent any time listening to Hendrix would waste their
time comparing him & his bands to Eddy's, and I don't mean that as an
insult to EVH either, because I like him, but I sort of doubt that HE
wastes any time comparing himself to someone he doesn't resemble even
in a remote way.

I think Hendrix was a better writer, in that he seemed to have cover alot
more ground in respect to tone, riffs, chords, etc. Ed has been a bit
repetitive since Carnal Knowledge, and sometimes I just want to hear him
outside of his "thing" (because I know he could probably play anything
well).

equipment of the day whereas EVH benefited from the equipment of his day.
Jimi played out of tune due to the basic tremolos of the day. EVH had Floyd
Rose's. Jimi used Orange amps ( which really sucked ) but, eventually used
Marshall's which he was partly responsible for in the first place. EVH
played faster, cleaner. Jimi played psychedelic blues albeit as an innovator
( which he and Ed can truly be called ). If you compare them as musicians,
then EVH gets the nod. He was schooled and can read and write music. Jimi
couldn't but, there is no denying how gifted he was. Jim wrote timeless
classics which he could sing ( and sing very well indeed ). Ed, I have to
say, wrote tunes that will be locked in the 80's for the most part.
Remember, that without Jimi's innovation and equipment tweaking which
resulted in effects and amps being better, Ed couldn't have got the sound he
got. Jimi was also a studio wizard remember.
Musically? Ed. Innovation? Both but, Jimi innovated with hardware creation
as well. Overall? Jimi. No doubt.
Mitch Mitchell. Period.
Michael Anthony has the better vocals without a doubt. Slight edge to
Anthony. Against Cox as well.
Vocals? Jimi. He sang. Roth and Hager ( I luv em both ) had different roles.
Can you imagine Roth or Hager singing "Red House"? Ugh.

I believe that VH I and all the early demos were done without
the Floyd Rose "whammy bar" thing.

Neither.

They all fall into the "okay but not great" category. They kept good rhythm
but none stand out at all as exceptional bassists.
> Vocals: Jimi Hendrix vs David Lee Roth
Jimi obviously never intended to be a great vocalist, but if I have to
compare them then Dave tramples him. Neither one was a classicly trained
singer, but there was far more character in Dave's voice than Jimi's, though
Jimi had a lot of moments of his own during his slower blues numbers.
> or: Jimi Hendrix vs Sammy Hagar
Sammy was a generic screamer, Jimi wasn't technically gifted as a vocalist
but he could summon up some sincerity in his voice. I go for Jim.

Why because he could read music? By that reasoning, I was a better

Huh? You're kidding, right? Vai may be the best guitarist on the planet.
And what about Metheny, Holdsworth, Gambale? Ask Eddie himself if he's
better than Holdsworth.
Jimi and Eddie were both incredibly influential guitarists. Only Jarl would
come up with a thread asking to pick between them.

Mitch Mitchell, hands down. Could Alex have followed Jimi's mercurial

Billy Cox for holding down the bottom line, definitely.

3-way tie. Hagar's better technically, David Lee is the ultimate "rock
star" front man, but there's something menacing about Jimi's vocals on
"Fire"...

fast and furious. Pick - em. Personally I like Eddie better, but on
reccord Jimi is "blusier" IMHO. FYI, Eddies best work is NOT on any VH
record. IN 82-83 He and Brian may teamed up for a blues based mini LP
called Brian May and Friends. Some of eddies best released work is on
this record. Tons of soulfull blues licks all over this record. I'm
glad I bought mine when I did because they havent released it on CD yet
as far as I know.
Drums: I like Alex VH a lot. I love his snare tone (fat and warm
sounding), technically they are both good players though. Backing some
of the most flamboyant musicians in history.
Bass: I like Noel redding as a bass player.
Vocals: Sammy has a very broad vocal range that I dont think DLR or
Jimi could even touch. BUT... i'm taking Jimi over either of them
because he plays guitar (Rythym / lead) AND sings lead vocals. Which in
itself adds some interesting features to his playing / singing. I cant
even sing backing tracks while holding a steady guitar rythym. For me
thats the f***in' hardest thing to do. Any one who can pull that off
gets my vote (SRV, Knopfler, billy gibbons are also amazing at singing /
playing).
As a pure vocalist, Sami wins hands down, but in the framework of a
band, and knowing how difficult it is to sing and pluck at the same
time... Gotta give my nod to Jimi.
Later,

I disagree,
the opening drum
solo for "hot for teacher"
is great.
Mitch mitchell played drums
about as good as Noel played
bass(background noise).
Even to this day,
guitarist are still trying
to cop two inovative guitarists
tone and technique:
Eddie Van Halen-Jimi Hendrix.
My guess from observing
some of the replys on this thread is,
some people like to bagg on
the artists work they cant play.
Give it a break.

True. The big difference is that with EVH, everything sounds alike. With
Jimi, NOTHING sounds alike. It's all different.

Mitch Mitchell, a jazz drummer in rock, was/is one of the finest drummers
the world has seen. Alex is just another "rock" drummer. Players like him
are a dime a dozen. Go down to your nearest rehearsal complex, and listen
outside each room from the hall. You'll hear these guys all day and all
night long, each guaranteeing a bigger headache than a bottle of tequilla.
Show me ONE other Mitch Mitchell. I've got a drummer who plays that style
better than anyone I've ever heard. He's the ONLY drummer I've EVER played
with, in all these years, who can convincingly (and naturally) flow in that
mode. There AIN'T many, I can tell you.

Jimi played a lot of the bass parts when Noel was in the band, as well as
when Noel wasn't around. (Listen to "Watchtower" for an example)
As far as I know, Billy Cox played almost ALL the bass parts after Noel
quit. Billy is one of the funkiest, root-bottom bass players ever. Always
going for the lowest notes, often times open notes, NO friggin' bass-wanker
pick in his hand, all fingers, always solid, chunky, funky, MOVING bass
lines that grooved. Without getting into the world of "funk" (then we get
to Johnny B Gayden (Albert Collins' Band) and Bootsy), he's tops. I wonder
why Yarl didn't want to try to compare him to Paul McCartney or Chris
Squire???? Stupid.

David Lee Roth is the single best example of Lord Valve's description,
"catfight in a dumster". Every time he lets out one of those queer screams,
he sound's like someone just goosed him by surprise. Annoying beyond
belief, he ranks near the top of my list of "All-time WORST singers". A
posing bleached blond who likes to squeal like a piggie. Just what we all
need.
Sammy Hagar, on the other hand, has LOADS of talent and ability. He's been
doing good things for many years. He made Montrose a success, and saved VH
form the pits for a while, after revitalizing them. I'd like to hear DLR
attempt "Tell me why can't this be love". That'd be good for a few laughs!
Jimi had an entirely different kind of voice. Melodically, he often coppied
the "talking" vocal style of Dylan. The difference being, Jimi had tone to
his voice. Dylan doesn't. Listen to his ballads, Little Wing, Angel, 1983,
etc. Like it or not, his voice was the best suited for his music. And
apparently, a lot of people DO like it. Jimi sells far more records today
than when he was alive.

I'll second this. Eddie's a vastly underrated blues player. In fact I
think it's his blues phrasing (especially finger vibrato) that makes all
that flash sound so musical. It's the mortar between his bricks -- it ties
everything he does back to Chuck Berry and earlier. That's where Vai is
weak, I think -- he has the technique, but without the phrasing it doesn't
sound like "rock and roll." Just my opinion.
BTW, you can get Star Fleet Project on Napster (or you could, before they
shut it down -- try MusicCity now). The blues jam is called Blues Breaker,
after the old Clapton album that influenced EVH and Brian may so much.
Clapton said it was crap, but it's the best thing I've ever heard Ed play
except for "Stompin 8H."

I dare say Hendrix would be one of Satch's biggest fans. If Hendrix doesn't
come close then why does a guy that's been dead for 30 years outsell a guy
still living like VanHalen?
BTW, Satch has put out consistantly better product that Ed has for 15 years
now. Ed has a LOT of catching up to do.

They weren't exactly in the pits. They took a year off and got a new
singer. AC/DC did the same thing. Not a big deal.

I laugh at that song because it sucks. It's a pussy song. If DLR sang

Fuck Clapton. He stopped progressing as a player after 1968, and
hasn't played anything worth hearing since then either.

a moot point, considering the most successful popular artists of the past
century couldn't read a note either. Beatles, Elvis, Hendrix, Clapton, and

Oh, REALLY??? When and where was THAT? I thought I'd read everything about
his gear, the Fenders, the Sunns, right down to the serial numbers of his
guitars and Marshalls. I must have overlooked something. I'm sure that at
jams, he played whatever was there . . but can you provide a reference to
the source of this information?

I can't imagine Roth singing *anything*. He's like nails on a chalkboard.
One of the worst I've ever heard. At least Hagar can sing, albeit a
different style. I've never heard DLR do anything more than squeal like a
little piggy. Most impressive. A squealer and a neck tickler. Holy shit!!

THAT makes a lot of sense.
My guess was always Perry and Blackmore. Eddie met Perry and
Blackmore early in his career and pissed them both off, so I guess
that's why he never cited them as an influence.

His technique was probably the most advanced out of all the players to
come out of the late-60s (besides Beck), but I would still have to say
by comparison, technically speaking, Euro-metal players from the
early/mid-70s totally blow him away, as well as any of the other
British blues players.
Sven Milliam
That's because those were the only players before him that he could
cite as influences. Schenker is one of the players before Van Halen.
Schenker didn't have Schenker or an Akermann to influence him.

reading this somewhere. really. Hey, I was a kid when Hendrix emerged ( make
that exploded ) on the music world. I gobbled up every magazine at the time
and devoured all I could about the guy. I remember reading Creem magazine
after school in a drugstore newstand and being shocked at seeing Jimi
drinking a can of beer! I was sooo naive!
My mom surprised me last week by pulling my old 'Axis Bold as Love' and 'Are
You Experienced' albums out of a box in the attic. I listened to those
albums night and day on an old RCA player. Here it is some 30 years later
and Hendrix is just as fresh IMO. If only I had all those old Creem mags
though.......

Jan Akerman from "Focus," right? I got several of his albums in later
years, liked his mix of music that was usually pretty eclectic - classical
to rock to hybrid/fusion and back. What's he been doing lately? Do you
follow him or know much about what he's been sounding like now? Thanks

Yep, and I'll take Gary Moore any day. What a guitar player ! Of

you. Most of my friends who hear me play will attest to that as well. Yep,
I'm stuck in that old era for sure. But I'm happy being there and I'm
playing the best of anytime in my life, so it just goes to show you, you can

Interesting, the word "consumption" in Merriam-Webster's online
dictionary http://www.m-w.com/dictionary.htm :
"Main Entry: con·sump·tion
Pronunciation: k&n-'s&m(p)-sh&n
Function: noun
Etymology: Middle English consumpcioun, from Latin consumption-,
consumptio, from consumere
Date: 14th century
1 a : a progressive wasting away of the body especially from
pulmonary tuberculosis b : TUBERCULOSIS
2 : the act or process of consuming
3 : the utilization of economic goods in the satisfaction of wants or
in the process of production resulting chiefly in their destruction,
deterioration, or transformation"
So, being "literate enough for consumption" doesn't necessarily make
it good.

sandwiches: mayonnaise or mustard?". Answer: They're both an essential
part of the sandwich landscape and I'm glad we don't have to pick.
Even if you don't like one of the two, you'd have to be a total
goofball (ie Jarl) not to recognize their importance or influence.
Eddie (specifically the day I heard the VH1 album the first time) was
the reason I learned to play and he's a complete guitar genius but
then again so was Jimi (in a different way) remove either one from
history and rock guitar would be different than it is today, IMHO.
BTW: Eddie's VH1 Tone (combined with his technique) still blows my
mind, I'm going to go spin that disc right now.

Are you harmonically impaired?
Jimmy and Randy were pioneers, but EVH had a better sense of technical
music than both, by far.
I have always thought Jimmy and Rhodes couldn't build a phrase in a solo if
they had a blueprint IMHO.
Don't get me wrong, I like Jimmy and Randy Rhodes tunes. I really like
Randy Rhodes Paranoid variations, and love the popular Hendrix tunes.
In contrast I think Eddie VH is a conceited, horses ass who thinks all
should worship him, when he should be thanking his fans for his fame. (I met
him at a production job in St. Paul, MN). But I still think he has a better
technical sense of just what sounds good.

hard to say, look at SRV, as soon as he died he turned into some

Yeah, but when I heard Al play with *restraint* with Chick and
