He\u2019s made countless album guest appearances, and has even recorded the soundtrack for a PEPSI TV commercial. He\u2019s been a member of Alice Cooper\u2019s band and was opening act for RUSH on their ROLL THE BONES tour with his own band. His solo and UFO recordings as well as LIVE performances have amassed rave reviews all around the globe from both fans and music press, catapulting\u00a0 him into guitar icon distinction! He has been an inspiration for fans and guitarists worldwide.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Says Vinnie,<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cI have been touring all over the world extensively with UFO and my solo band for the past 16 years. I started this album a couple years back and have been working on it religiously between tours. It\u2019s quite different than any of my others. It has elements of things I\u2019ve done in the past, but has gone much deeper into certain areas. There is an overall sort of contrast between energetic upbeat songs, versus ballad-like soulful ones which has always been a big part of my style. There are some Jam elements in places too. This is likely the most emotional and soulful thing I have ever done. Very moody, with lots of feel\u201d. \u201cI wrote a song as a tribute to Carlos Santana, called BROTHER CARLOS, and another called GAINESVILLE STATION which is a tip of the hat to Steve Gaines. Both players were huge influences on me when I was learning to play, and continue to be now\u201d.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cHe\u2019s hands down the greatest Moore since Demi, Roger, Dudley and Mary Tyler\u201d, and the greatest Vinnie since Vinnie Barbarino.\u201d \u2013 Johnny JizzleJam, Planet Guitar Gods Magazine<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cWhen something moves me, what I am feeling flows directly into music. That\u2019s how I deal with reality. I woke up one morning to the news that Chris Cornell had passed and it really hit me hard. I went into my studio, picked up a guitar and immediately wrote and recorded MYSTIFIED. Without intending to do so, and because of what was going on around me at the time, this album in a way became a tribute to people who meant something to me. The Allman Brothers were always one of my favorite bands and I was working on a song called SOUL RIDER that was inspired by them. While writing it, unfortunately Greg Allman left us. A lot of heart went into recording that song. Also, I wrote a song called HEARD YOU WERE GONE for my friend and band mate Elliott (Dean Guitars) who left us unexpectedly a couple years back.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cThere are definitely some downhearted cathartic moments on this album, but they\u2019re balanced out with songs like KUNG FU GRIP and FUNK BONE JAM that represent the opposite side of my personality, which is my constant joking and goofball sense of humor\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Vinnie has done hundreds of shows all over the planet, including Europe, UK, Scandinavia, Brazil, USA, as well as India, S. Korea, Lebanon, Mexico, Russia, and Canada. The UFO \u201cLast Orders\u201d tour began in England in March, and will continue in the USA on October 9.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cAncient astronaut theorists suggest that Vinnie may have been spawned from alien DNA! Or at least his left index finger anyway\u201d \u2013 Giorgio Thessaloniki, Ancient Aliens<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">\u201cSolo records are a great vehicle because the canvas is totally open and I can paint whatever and wherever I want. There\u2019s total freedom in not having boundaries. All of my influences are on the canvas, from Rock to Blues to Be-Bop to Funk, even R&amp;B and beyond. I have always felt music deeply even before I played guitar. After I began playing, it became my vehicle to express and release what I feel inside. I love channeling my soul into melodies and songs.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">Pre-order &#8216;Soul Shifter&#8217; on <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/id1479017115?ls=1&amp;app=itunes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">iTunes<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/album\/id\/1479017115\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Apple Music<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">You can find Vinnie online on his <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vinniemoore.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">official website<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Vinnie.Moore.Official\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Facebook<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/vinnie_moore_guitarist\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Instagram<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Vinnie_Moore\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Twitter<\/a>.
