Holdsworth joined U.K. after being recommended by a girl, and the band consisted of John Wetton, Eddie Jobson, and Bill Bruford. However, Holdsworth felt that the band's music lacked cohesion, and he found it frustrating to play the same solos every night. U.K. had two factions within the band, with Bill Bruford and Holdsworth on one side and Eddie Jobson and John Wetton on the other. This internal conflict led to a musical dilemma, and Holdsworth didn't enjoy the live performances. Despite his admiration for the individual band members as people, Holdsworth felt that U.K. was a miserable experience for him, mainly due to the musical differences and the pressure to play the same solos repeatedly. Ultimately, Holdsworth left U.K. because he wanted to pursue his own musical direction and found that the band's format didn't allow for the artistic freedom he desired. | |||
