@@kmanick107 I can confirm that. I had the incredible pleasure to met him during a clinic in Rome, in the 96 if I recall correctly. He has been nothing short than lovely with his fan. A very polite gentleman and one of the finest guitarists that the 20th century gave us.
Vinnie Moore seems to be a tragedy of his time. Not old enough to be around when EVH or Randy rocked the scene, hit right after Malmsteen. So much of his talents arent appreciated.
I still can't imagine how guys like Kirk Hammett or Kerry King got famous and rich while this virtuosic beast is still relatively unknown to most casual guitar fans
I don't have time to write up the long story but I was at an unusual gig in Santa Barbara where there was only 24 fans in attendance. It was like a private show so we loved it. But the story involves how Moore told some bullies from Hollywood to stop messing with me and my friend from NC. He went out of his way to be cool and I still appreciate it. JD the bassist as well. These are truly cool people in addition to top world class musicians! I will always love Vinnie Moore and JD.
Don't be mad at me. I'm listening for the first time. I'm 67. He sounds amazing! But I think what has happened to Vinny, like to do many 80s guitarists, is that there were quite a few great guitarists that emerged then. I'm an Alice Cooper nut and he always had the best guitarists on his tours! Hell, Vinnie may have toured with him! But I agree with all of you, that was fuggin' amazing!
Vinnie was already the guitarist of Alice in the late 80’s, early 90’s. He also played on his many tracks on Stoopid album as well. Correct me if I’m wrong. Cheers.
We went to high school together.William Penn H.S.Newcastle De !! The nicest guy,never partied with us on the bus…just guitar guitar guitar.I was at his first “gig”. Church carnival,none of even knew he really played.Love the guy !!!
I just discovered Vinnie about a month ago when I started learning morning star From Warleyson Almeida- who’s a monster cover fellow. Then I found I like this tune even more. Why did I never hear it earlier? Anyway, I thank God. I now know what Vinnie is capable of. 🙂 There’s a lot more soul here. Plus I like the melodies better than 90% of Yngvies work
You rarely see a jazz bass being played in rock. I wonder why. I was more of a Racer X fan but I knew of him back then. This is cool. Need to go back and research.
Back when there was good hair in metal. In all seriousness though, what an amazing solo. How did he get his fretting hand so fast? (Maybe legato training?) One day I wanna play like Vinnie.
Your still the man Vinnie Moore,I absolutely love your playing style/tone/feel. Paul Gilbert is my other all time Favorite Shredder. I've been listening to your music ever since I've been a kid. I just started playing guitar again and have a small Recording/Practice Studio. I started a TH-cam Channel. Keep up all the great work my man.
I like some others. Greg Howe and Tony Macalpine are excellent guitarrists too. High Level in playing. Mike Varney defined Vinnie Moore using the right words. A legend of music and guitar.
@@tomrose1884 I am also working on Morning Star, And a little finger melter called Presto from my favorite priest 🙂 Without the benefit of learning to play classical music properly at age 7. 🤷🏼♀️
Who is the one pinhead that put a dislike on here???? I'm a bassist and it doesn't get much better than this in my opinion. When my Wife and I got married 25 years ago, she walked down the aisle with Vinnie's "April Sky" playing. Time Odyssey and Meltdown are my two favorite's, but I give a thumb's up to everything that Vinnie has put out there over the years.........
I absolutely love this cd and sooo glad you did this video too. Early to mid 90s in Chicagoland area there was a cable access show titled Rock Hard Videos I think. That show regularly played this video. The good ol days.
I am a big fan of yours!!!!! You were one of my inspirations and influences in my adolescence. Thanks to his techniques, I evolved a lot on the guitar and today I am a guitar teacher. Thank you so much master 🙏🙏 I play a composition of yours called "April Sky."
My idol why din't you mentioned me you played and made badass iconic solos with the power metal band Vicious Rumores? Your solos in that album are insane i couldn't even manage to over play the solo for soldiers of the night
U have any idea how many channels I've gone to where ppl list best guitarist and I have to raise hell in the comments cuz they didn't mention Vinnie Moore?! I'm not having it!
I just discovered the guitar in the video is called a Heartfield Talon, made in Japan by order from Fender. Only lasted until 93; seeming as I live in Japan I’ll keep an eye out for one.
Had a question? I noticed that John "JD" Deservio from BLS played with you at Namm Jam back in 2012. I went to see you on your Meltdown Tour in 91 twice & you introduced your bassist as JD before he would do his solo part. Same JD? I also know that Joe Franco who later went on to record with Blues Saraceno was your album drummer. Who drummed live on that tour? Just can't find anything of your live band from back then
Thankx for the reply man! Also, wanted to say- I have been a Heartfield Talon fan ever since you endorsed them on that tour & have owned many over the years from the II model all the way up to the V model which I still currently own today & they are IMAO the BEST GUITARS EVER! I had since hoped that Fender would re-release these for collectors seeing as how they still have a huge cult fanbase (like Gibson/Epiphone did with the Kramer Pacers & Stagemasters) However, I have realized that it appears to be a void desire since Fender today won't even acknowledge that these guitars ever existed:((( I know you went through Ernie Ball endorsement & are now with Dean, but do you still own any of your Talons? Also, noticed you always played the II model more than the flagship IV & V models, why was that exactly?
Saw Vinnie play this at a guitar clinic in Newcastle UK in the early 90s. He played a warmup solo at the start of the show, packed with chops and at the end asked the crowd "any questions?" A lone voice shouted "Yeah, do you want to join my band?" 🤣
I still remember when a fellow guitarist asked me “if I had heard Vinnie Moore” way back when and the odd look on his face when I responded with no… It was most likely not that much different than the odd look on my face once I finally heard Vinnie, because he absolutely blew my freaking mind
Awesome to see Vinnie as a young man, mature way before his years...easily one of the best, if not Thee best instrumental electric guitar songs/videos ever made. Thanks so much for the joy you give!
The most underrated guitarist of the world
I fucking love this song! Where's all the love for Vinnie!?....
and possibily the best...his debut album Mind´s eye is as good as Yngwie´s Malmsteen Rising Force
@@richardbates2344 and one of the nicest guys around
@@ninometalyears i like Minds Eye much more than evrything of IKEA BOY

After 28 years...still kickass !!! \m/
I'm a simple man - I see Vinnie Moore, I upvote
I can't imagine the morons that gave him a thumbs down
I wore that album out. Every song on it is absolutely mindblowing.
Drop D anger.
Not only was he the most underrated guitarist of the 80's and 90's, he also had the best hair.

because having a better technique does not mean necessarily better music.
Vinnie ain't so good at live performances... That is one of the many other factors lol
Bad timing, 90s solos were out.
Because most people don’t listen to instrumental music. I love it but most don’t.
@@ptose yeah ! but Metallica is shit as fuck :D
Vinnie is an amazing musician! This is my "Go to" jam to start my day. I love it!
The poodle hair adds at least 126 more horsepower..Man, I miss the 80s..Go Vinnie!

I have been listening to his cassette & Cds since the 80s and because of him i learned the lead guitar till now. Thanks Vinnie Moore

@cemsarioglu5947 You’re not wrong.

Then I found I like this tune
even more.
Why did I never hear it earlier?
Anyway, I thank God.
I now know what Vinnie is
capable of. 🙂
There’s a lot more soul here.
Plus I like the melodies better than 90% of Yngvies work
My dad has this cd. We used to listen to it all the time. This track kills.
Music like this used to be played on mainstream radio....let that sink in boys. Summer of '91!
Today on 3/1/24 I found this glorious song. What a day.
You rarely see a jazz bass being played in rock. I wonder why.
I was more of a Racer X fan but I knew of him back then. This is cool. Need to go back and research.
one of the few guitarists whose sound has evolved with the times and his music keeps getting better and better....thank god for Vinnie
Saw him live on this tour in MA and he was on fire! Such a great guitarist and a great person!
Been my favorite guitar player for a long time.
Until today I had never heard of him...
The Maze album is my most favorite. But I love them all.
schitzorage Facts. That album is truly incredible. Still awe inspiring to this day
This was the first Vinnie's composition I have ever heard in year 1994. I totally love your music! Thank you so much Vinnie! Musical Genious!
Vinnie is good in guitar 🎸 truly a legend 🙏
Very cooool♥️🙂song and sound👍
Back when there was good hair in metal. In all seriousness though, what an amazing solo. How did he get his fretting hand so fast? (Maybe legato training?) One day I wanna play like Vinnie.

...and this is just one
Thanks for pointing it out Tom 🕺🏽

I'm not having it!
that main riff is very grunge. AIC
Yeah, it’s a drop DTuning just like Ty Tabor from Kings X.
Vastly more sophisticated than the Seattle Gruners 🙂
Came here from Music Is Win since he said "I just can't describe how perfect I think that song is". Sounds pretty amazing to me too.
Shadows of yesterday...
My high school buddy.William Penn H.S Newcastle Delaware !!!
quality!
Alllllahhhh adam döktürüyor çok iyiiiiiiii
I think he is just good at playing the guitar godly
Savage!
I still have a tape of this album. Vinnie your the last of my guitar hero’s I’ve never seen live. I hope to catch you on the road some day!
How am I just now discovering this? That was amazing! lml
Damn, this is tough.
The precision and tone the feal is spot on
Epic!
Terrific guitarrist, the best, ever.
I'm a guitar solo nut and this one kicks ass!🤘
14 very jealous people
wow....i dont know this guitar until now !!!
Señor
Amazing
Vinnie own them all
the best guitar ot the world!

I still have one of them. I liked the 22 fret models better. thanks man
yes, was brian tichy, not sure if was anahaim or orange when i seen live, was a great show i catch a drumm stick brians signature, was a great night

Say to rock
I remember this one from the day!!
Saw Vinnie play this at a guitar clinic in Newcastle UK in the early 90s. He played a warmup solo at the start of the show, packed with chops and at the end asked the crowd "any questions?" A lone voice shouted "Yeah, do you want to join my band?" 🤣
so that was a f fender?
Yep! Fender Heartfield.
Por eso sustituye al gran Michael Schenker en UFO !!!
I downloaded wow
The main "chorus" lick with those crazy bends is so sick, get's me every time.
I remember going on the bus listening to this in cassette on the way to my guitar lessons...thank you Mr Moore for the motivation
Vinnie never associated with any decent vocalist. That was his downfall. Joining an aging UFO was not the solution.
Met VM at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport. Very nice guy. Amazing guitarist/musician.
looks like a jackson- looks like I picked a good brand too
MASTERFREAKINPIECE!
Awesome!

Un grande
love you vin man, youre my guitar hero and god bless you !!!
Fantástico. Me gusta muchisimo su sonido metalero al máximo, buenisimo trabajo de Vinnie, lo flipo mucho...
First saw this on a cable access show out of Lakeland Florida... fuzzy picture and all..great times

I used to own one of those Fender Heartfield guitars, I sold it and later regretted it... I still kick my own ass for it.
I don't know why people worship these guitars, I bought one and its not very great, could just be a bad buy on my part.
