Alice Cooper recently discussed with BBC’s ‘The Rock Show With Johnnie Walker” where he opened up about the late guitarist Eddie Van Halen. During the discussion, the rocker revealed who Eddie Van Halen wished to take guitar lessons from:

“One time Eddie Van Halen called me up and said, ‘Hey, I wanna come to Arizona and play golf.’ And I went, ‘Okay, great.’ Now, Eddie, after the first game of golf, he said, ‘How’s my game?’ And I went, ‘Eddie, you are a great guitar player.’ And he says, ‘Yeah, but what about my game?’ I go, ‘Eddie, you’re a great songwriter.’ […]

“The real reason he came in, he says, ‘Okay, let me tell you the real reason I wanted to come in. I need for you to get me a guitar lesson with Glen Campbell.’ 

”Glen Campbell was such a great guitarist that other guitar players could hear what he was doing and go, ‘Oh my gosh, this guy’s amazing.’ So Glen Campbell was going to give Eddie Van Halen a guitar lesson.”

Alice Cooper was asked if Eddie Van Halen actually took any lessons from Glen Campbell:

“Oh yeah. He came over to the house. Glen lived pretty close to me, and they sat down, and he said, ‘Eddie, sit down. There’s a guitar right over there.’”
