I remember being just blown away by it the first time I heard it. The first I heard of AH though, was when he was with the band UK (KSHE again, Sans). The first Holdsworth record I bought was I.O.U., it still sounds fresh. I thought “Metal Fatigue” was a good record. I remember being just blown away by it the first time I heard it.

I read in guitar mags that Eddie Van Halen was influenced by AH, and because it was the 1980s and I was way into EVH, I decided I wanted to get <i>Metal Fatigue</i>, so I went to the record store and special ordered it, saving my money so I could buy it. The record store sent me a postcard saying they couldn't get it, so I bought something else. Then, next time my head was in the jazz section, I saw <i>Metal Fatigue</i> staring back at me. I finally found it on a download site. It's been played, but I haven't given it the focus I really should. <em>Sans Direction's last blog post..<a href='http://sansdirection.blogspot.com/2008/05/lou-reeds-new-guitar.html' rel="nofollow">Lou Reed's New Guitar</a></em> My Allan Holdsworth story is less about Holdsworth than about how record stores suck.
