Re: PHOTOS: Shannon Forrest's new drum kit with TOTO!

Re: Allan Holdsworth R.I.P.

https://youtu.be/LKiq1e40CIM April 3rd at Alvas. I listened through the first 10 minutes of this. Actually, I didn't think Allan played badly - his solo wasn't as blistering as it's been in the past on that tune, but it's not like he was missing chord changes, or anything.

Do you think my man can read with good taste and musicianship ? :o Dam'... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RT8f7ErX42I Really noticing how little he moves his hands through all his fills.

I remember my first exposure ...

I feel bad for him there. In the time since Neil's foray into big b...
