on the Operation Rock'N'Roll tour, and also performed on Alice’s album Hey Stoopid. A member of Alice Cooper's band, he toured the U.S. Other albums followed: Live (in 2000), with Shane Gaalaas (drums), Barry Sparks on bass, and Wayne Findlay on keyboards, and Defying Gravity in 2001 with Dave LaRue (bass), Steve Smith on drums, and David Rosenthal on Keyboards.Īs a performer, Vinnie Moore's resume is impressive. Vinnie also displayed a new-found maturity in his songwriting now, many of his diverse and exotic musical influences, including Latin, Jazz, and the Blues, began finding their way into his signature sound. The Maze was stunning, rooted in the progressive neo-classical style that had already generated legions of loyal fans. On The Maze (in 1999), Vinnie was joined by former MSG drummer Shane Gaalaas, bassist Dave LaRue (The Dregs and The Steve Morse Band) and renowned master musician Tony MacAlpine on keyboards. In 1996, Mayhem Records released Out of Nowhere, with Brian Tichy (Billy Idol) on drums and Dorian Heartsong (Powerman 5000) on bass. His third release was Meltdown, in 1991 (on Relativity/Epic Records) the song Meltdown received national radio airplay on both album-oriented rock (AOR) and hard rock formats. In 1988, Squawk/Polygram released Vinnie’s second effort (and major label debut) Time Odyssey, which solidified his reputation as a musical innovator. Vinnie was quickly heralded "best new talent" in Guitar Player, Guitar, and Guitar World magazines, and Mind's Eye sold more than 100,000 copies. In 1987, Shrapnel released Vinnie's breakout album, Mind's Eye.
#VINNIE MOORE DISCOGRAPHY TORRENT PROFESSIONAL#
This led to Vinnie’s first professional work in the music business which was writing and playing the music for a national Pepsi TV commercial. It was evident that he had found his calling this was the start of his journey as a songwriter.Īfter many hours of creating tunes with his 4 track, Vinnie sent a demo to Guitar Player magazine, and came to national attention via its "Spotlight" column, written by Shrapnel Records exec Mike Varney. He quit the band, got a 4-track tape recorder, and began experimenting by recording his ideas and building them into songs. After a few years of playing with different bands, Vinnie decided it was time to make the jump from covering songs to creating his own music. Vinnie took lessons with a private instructor and at 14, he joined his first band, jamming on cover tunes with drums, bass, 2 guitars and vocals. Once Vinnie Moore picked up his first guitar (a Kay) at the age of 12, he became, as he describes it, a “guitar freak.” His earliest influences included - among others - Jeff Beck, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, and Queen.
