Allan was the very reason this L.A. Californian guitarist was asked to work,tour and record in a well-known Vertigo Records signed Swiss progrock band Flame Dream.Flame Dream always loved my Holdsworth influence playing.
I recently talked with Allan again at a NAMM17 afterparty,and he enjoyed always living in my warm golden sunshine state;a true always dear gent dudeson http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/entertainment/music/sd-et-music-holdsworth-obit-20170416-story.html “If you fall in love with a woman,there's this unknown thing that gives you a force and energy,and music is like that, too.If I lived to be 2000,I'd never know anything about music.And that's great. ... I think the guy who tells you he knows about music is really dumb,or he's lying to himself".-Allan Holdsworth Edited by DaleHauskins - April 16 2017 at 21:45 |

RIP Allan....I was fortunate to see him with UK on their first tour (he blew the doors off!) and much later, in a small club as "IOU" with the amazing Jeff Berlin and Chad Wackerman.
Truly a one-of-a-kind, I cannot think of many imitators of his legato guitar style. Amazing.

Really sad news....always impressed by his playing and am glad that he was at least respected verbally, his music was probably too good for enough people to be able to pay him what he was worth.
R.I.P.

I was fortunate to see him with Pierre Moerlen's Gong in 1976, remarkably a sound-recording of that performance exists:

A sad farewell to another one of my prog icons. Very underappreciated except by those in the know. RIP.

This news really saddened me - more than usual, maybe because it was so unexpected? I can't imagine how his family feels.
Some of my favorite stuff is his work with Soft Machine, Gong and UK - cool to hear that some people here actually saw that stuff performed live!

Sad to see another legend pass, but such is life. R.I.P. I really enjoyed his work with Gong and Soft Machine, he was an incredibly gifted player.

And not too far behind John Wetton's passing. I'd hate to think of who is next. R.I.P., Mr. Holdsworth.
