@fatskunkripz420: He's so darn good that I must confess -- I didn't notice if he was drunk (or not) :-) Saw them on 9/17/11, and chatted after the show. Incredible, as usual. My only wish is that more local radio stations would support UFO. If they feature anything at all, it's from 1977-79 (Lights Out, Obsession, and the live Strangers in the Night), and that excludes so much of what has been so wonderful, including Vinnie's soaring work of the past several years. He's terrific.
@cjds18 Ok I thought instead of being lazy I'd look it up. Turns out he used DiMarzio Double Whammy in the bridge and a Di Meola model in the neck... not sure if his signature Deans still use these.
I think one of the most 'Beautiful' guitar instrumentals EVER written is "As Time Slips By", --Vinnie Moore- On the 'Time Odyssey' album. Really, anything he does is fantastic, and he's always been different from the rest of the shredders, never tried to emulate or copy any of them. True to himself, and his fans.
@rondill65 Although Yngwie Malmsteen is adamant that Vinnie ripped him off and has always disliked him. You must admit some of their playing is very similar. So whether he was really that original is questionable. But of course he is very talented. Tony Macalpine sounds quite different to most.
@segitary , that's what everybody thinks, but Moore made Mind's Eye in 1986, one year later Malmsteen's 'Rising Force'. If it is as you say, he's still a genius for making an album that can compete or even outshine 'Rising Force'.
Moore's influence is more Al Di Meola, if you don't believe that, you need to check out Di Meola 'Tour de Force'
@luigiperso Rising Force was released in 1984. You're right his influence is more Al Di Meola (as far as phrasing & technique) but his neo-classical era albums were without question influenced by Yngwie, as well as all the other neo-classical shedders of that time. Before Yngwie there were only hints of classical influences in hard Rock music, with Blackmore & Rhoads as main influences. After Yngwie the flood gates were open. Still Mind's Eye is AWESOME, one of my favorite shred albums.
lolz when he said "traditional guys like Jeff Beck, Ritchie Blackmore" I was like he didn't name the God of Rock ... and immediately he said "Jimmy Page of course" I was like Okay I dig you fully now Vinnie lolz
My band shared a trailer with UFO and Vinnie at Rocklahoma and he is one of the coolest and most incredible players out there. The amazing thing was is that he remembered my name from 10 years prior. Truly a class act!
I must fez! He transcend from unfinished shredding s without feelings to a more joyfully rithms adding all the knowledge he has. (without diva attitude) such as his early beginnings
@chuckyinges Not really, all of those chords are in the key of Eb Mixolydian (he's tuned half a step down). The chord progression only changes changes keys at 2:41 when he's not playing a drone.
@drone713 Correct me if I'm wrong. In order to have pitch axis, I need a drone note, and the drone note can link different random chords by having the drone note in them. As the chords progress, the tonality changes because they are not related to each other. Therefore, different modes are required for soloing?
@chuckyinges Almost. The chords chosen to be played along with the bass note are usually chords of the same note as the bass drone, for example bass drone = A; chord = A major 7, A major 6 #11, A 13, etc. You wouldn't play a B chord over an "A" note, although you could play a B minor chord over "A" but it wouldn't really be functioning as B anymore, it'd really be a harmonization of the Dorian scale as B Dorian is the second mode of "A."
@papisNY Yngie and Vinnie are from virtually the same time period (they were born in respectively 64 and 65). Beck, Page, et others were playing either before they were born or during their childhood; so, he mentioned the true pioneers (note that I am not putting Malmsteen down, he is an excellent guitarist).
I feel so shocked at how Vinnie has aged. Last time i saw vinnie was on his mode VHS tape from years ago (there he looks like a kid) lol. So basically i saw vinnie as a kid and now as an older man. its kinda funny.
I have always liked Vinnie. He's awesome & what a cool guy too. I really enjoy his music / playing and think he's really under rated but love to see that he's kept playing & putting out music all these years.
One of my favourite guitarists ever but apparently he gets hell angry for no reason. A friend told me he came to Perth for a clinic and was really moody. Mind you he probably got sick of all the dumb questions like "so how do you play fast?" etc.
@cfv22 yngwie was around just 2 years after vinnie in usa (83), recording whit steeler and vinnie record whit vicious rumors - soldiers of the night in (1985) so i think that they are from almost the same years... and can i say that they play very different and both are my favorite guitarplayers around!!! see you!!
@ shystylzyt, i would totally agree with you. his minds eye days where honestly his glory days. he is playing stuff right now thats to comfortable and mainstream. his work from Minds Eye was so Melodic/technical/interesting a shame he sold out to mainstream i reckon its his personality though, his current direction settling with UFO when he could have replaced malmsteen in the spot light and perhaps even attending G3 too??? god knows Minds eye album put malmsteen to shame.
Not to acknowledge those that layed the foundation is just not right. This guys plays as if he was trained and no doubt he was. He is a bad boy.. he makes everything sound good. got a little country there but he is not limited like most that call him a shedder. He maybe but he does alot more with melody than I hear from shredders. If it doesn't sound good clean then distortion and the rest is just a cover for bad playing.
Love Vinnie to death, but c'mon... Albert King? Hendrix? wow...Talk about restyling your past to stay hip... A lot of people still remember all those GW interviews where you praised Bach and piano concertos... VM...You didn't build your following based on slow clean tone blues licks... You didn't score that Pepsi gig because of any Albert King bends... it was your blazing technique. Respect your beginnings. Just keep it real VM... burn on.
@catapei - Considering he was around at the time or before Yngwie I don't see how he could be "influenced". If anything most major players these days have been influenced by Vinnie Moores soulful, classical, tasteful, melodic guitar work.
and I got into ... him and him... and YNGWIE MALMSTEEN lol... so funny how he bypasses the guy who made it possible for him to sell his neo classical stuff.. ;-) btw, I love his playing.. vinnie moore's that is.. but come on, be honest right? :-) like his van Halen meanstreet rip off riff at 1.40 ... not very original, but competent player for sure.
i want to reply to why question as to why vinny never mentioned malmsteen as his influence,
fact: regardless if Malmsteen released Rising Force before Vinny released a record Vinny is still a Veteran when it comes to the post Blackmore neo classcial electric guitarists,
It would be like saying Eddie Van Hallen already did what Jimi Hendrix did before Jimi because one believes VH records where heard of before Hendrix over in Japan.
Great interview, really surprised he never mentioned Yngwie in his list of infuences though.. considering how neoclassical mind's eye and time odyssey were
Err.... Malmsteen was not after V Moore.... mind's eye was released 2 years after rising force.
I'm well aware than Yngwie is more popular than vinnie moore, dude. I was just saying I'm surprised vinnie didn't mention him in his list of influences
