When Eddie Van Halen said Jimmy Page was sloppy playing live
Eddie Van Halen that is considered one of the best guitarists of all time gave his opinion on another legendary guitarist, Led Zeppelin’s Jimmy Page, saying in an interview with Guitar World back in 1981, that the British musician was sloppy playing live.
“Jimmy Page is an excellent producer. Led Zeppelin and Led Zeppelin II are classics. As a player, he’s very good in the studio. But I never saw him play well live. He’s very sloppy. He plays like he’s got a broken hand and he’s two years old. But if you put out a good album and play like a two-year-old live. What’s the purpose?”
There are no records of Eddie talking about Jimmy Page or Led Zeppelin after this interview, only the video where he plays a snippet of “Whole Lotta Love”. But their were together in events and there was no hard feelings about the comment.
On the other hand, after the news of Eddie Van Halen’s death back in October 2020, Jimmy Page lamented the death of the musician and praised his talent and career.
