There was a period in time when he was really pimped on this forum. Things go through trends and bands rise and fall as the centerpieces of discussion.

I actually thought this was going to be a thread asking why he's so revered on this site.


LOL!!  -"pimped" - now there's a term of endearment Alan would probably find very fitting!

Just a note: Holdsworth's playing especially on "Metal Fatigue" is awsome, as well as in Jean Luc Ponty albums. And should be recognized more.

But he also played on Alex Masi's "Attack of the Neon Shark" which was great, as well as Jeff Watson's "Lone Ranger" on the track "Forest Of Feeling" (he just shreds) very cool hearing him outside of the fusion style.

at this point it's quite possible he's appeared on well over 100 albums

Frank Zappa said this:
"There's one other guy whose work I know who should be included in that list who I respect and that's Allan Holdsworth."
and if Zappa said it there is nothing else to discuss
All hail Zappa and Holdsworth!
