Well what was done to me this morning must surely rank as a contender. The stupid chav must've imbibed rather freely over new year because she butchered me. Damn near took my ear off :roll:

I heartily agree ; for as deft as that is from a technical viewpoint, it is the sort of Jazz that I studiously avoid. As the late Joe Pass once remarked to a 'shredder' in one of his classes : " We play TUNES in here son " ...
On the haircut front, surely the style dammed forever is the dreaded 'Mullet'.

I've got to say, I'm a fan of Holdsworth. Never really thought about it as shredding - he sounds like a sax or even a clarinet player to me. But with an overdriven guitar!

In fairness to Alan Holdsworth, I would never accuse him of 'shredding' as such. Joe's comment to a true 80s Rock 'shredder' at that time, merely reminded me that there tends to be a bias amongst Jazz players towards either a more traditional / song based form - and leans toward harmonising the melody line in a more predictable fashion ( which in turn better lends itself to comping ) - or a more evolved ( Allan Holdsworth / John Coltrane / Pat Martino / Miles Davis ) form, where stretching the melody itself predominates - and (in the case of Allan holdsworth ) a parallel quest towards very sophisticated and physically challenging voicing of intervals / chords - as a musical statement in it's own right.
I remember seeing an absolutely blistering sax player in a local bar - who must have had the mental agility and physical speed of a mutant ; but I was just waiting for the other guy to take a couple of choruses, so I could hear something tuneful and emotive.
Allan Holdsworth does however have sensible hair - AND is from Yorkshire. :)

i think i can still claim worse haircut ever from my young school days, but ya know what - who cares. there is still an old woman around the corner from my parents house who asks what colour my hair is now!! i shaved my head in the very hot summer of 1996 and have never really grown it longer than a few inches since.
so if we are going to have a worst haircuts ever, lets at least make it personal ;)
spot me in my year at school:

they had banned me from having any 'unnatural' colours for the photo so its very blond here and also pre dreads so very curly and bouncy (my mother always tells me she would kill for my hair ::) )
and a few weeks later with fading red and tatty dreads with my roots making it all look like its placed on my head

Let me guess, your the one in the front row, just off centre with the beige floral print & your feet in the tramlines? :)

that was my art teacher - i think she was crazy!!

They're not the best haircuts, that's for sure. But it also illustrates something else about the '70s - nearly everyone was as thin as a rake. Couldn't we afford food, or were we just less idle then?
I actually quite liked the track. Wouldn't want to listen to it all the time, but it's nice to hear Holdsworth playing something I can almost understand.

No internet, Playstation or peadophile panic... So we went outside and ran about or rode bikes while drinking "pop" full of E numbers and artificial colour that gave us even more energy to run about or ride bikes.... :)

We didn't have kebabs, burgers and pizza being sold in every other shop like a lot of north london is now and yes we we're more active, less cars ect. I was thin in the 70s :lol:

the haircut is probably the best think about the whole video.
y'know when people watch a great guitarist and say they might as well cut off their hands and give up - well I wish thats what would happen to AH, what a load of pointless noodling.
there seems to be no beginning, middle or end - just a constant stream of w**kery.
just in case anyone is still confused, its a thumbs down for the music, but a thumbs up for the hair.
