Actually they did complain before, there were like 2 remasters of the album which had "blep" noises on every curse word to censor it, which made the song useless for listening. They also altered the setlist order so "These Boots" was the last one, since everyone was going to just skip it.

Absolutely. That is such an insanely creative lick. I find it to be an incredible example of Allan’s alien ability to use both his incredibly unique rhythmic and harmonic approaches. Nobody else in the world would approach a “lick” like that while composing, much less while improvising. An indisputable musical genius. I think the thing I admire most about Allan’s playing is his fearlessness and absolute boundary-expanding mindset towards music. It feels like at any moment, with any lapse in improvisational intuition or technique, the whole thing could fall off the tracks, but Allan always perfectly controls that chaos and never falters. Always taking a risk with every line he improvises, but he always connects it perfectly and creates something both chaotic and cohesive. And he was always improving. Though there were some physical limitations he likely faced towards the end, he was still getting better. Though I imagine it wasn’t enjoyable for him, his attitude of never being able to just settle on “good enough” pushed him to heights I’d argue that no other guitarist has reached. In my opinion, he’s the best of all time, and his passing has left a gap in the music world that will likely never be filled again.

Malmsteen too. My only problem with " Red Alert" is the solo is too short

Same here.......

same same

Me too

Same haha

Ditto😀 First time seeing this line-up. Absolutely incredible music🔥

Yeap

Because of that interview, I'm checking out Allan Holdsworth & Red Alert.

I would put Frank Gambale on par.

@@arosalesmusic yes, Frank Gambale, Wes Montgomery, Pat Metheny and George Benson. That's it.

These guitars were made for shredding

Are you saying it's a PRS he's playing in this video? The logo on the headstock sure looks like "Fender" rather than "PRS" to me. On the other hand thecrest og the guitar looks like no Fender I've seen. I also went through Wikipedias listing of Fender guitars, including discontinued ones, and came out empty. It sure looks nice, though. And Robben ofcourse get a wonderful sound out of it (and his amp). But what is it?!?

@@davebowman6497 I guess it's not a prs but that misses the point

Oh, I wasn't arguing against your double take. And I wasn't looking for an _argument_ on the guitar make. I am just genuinely curious as to what guitar that Robben is playing here.

@@davebowman6497 Ok, I understand, what blows my mind if this is true, is he e says he doesn't practice.

@@davebowman6497 In this video he’s playing a Fender Esprit aka Robben Ford Signature. Made by Fender from the late 1980s thru early 2000s. He played an Esprit/RF Sig on Talk to Your Daughter and some of the Blue Line albums (and in live performances of the era) then moved on to other guitars around 1992ish. He reunited with one here in the early 2k’s. For some fans, Robben’s guitar tones when he was playing an Esprit/RF Signature through his Dumble amp are favorites.
