| Vinnie Moore:
Shredding to the Core
by Tommy Hash
Vinnie with DEAN VM2000 SIGNATURE Guitar
Photo taken from www.vinniemoore.com
He is one of the quintessential shred guitarists who released a string of heavy & intricate guitar albums from his debut Mind's Eye back in 1986, to keeping the spirit of technical axework alive with 90's albums such as The Meltdown & Out of Nowhere to his latest offering, To the Core among other records. Having made a handful of appearances on albums by Alice Cooper, Jordan Rudess, & Vicious Rumors, Vinnie Moore was primarily known for his six string attack. But that all changed when he was given a chance tom join UFO in the early new millennium, after Michael Schenker left for good. Out of this came The Visitor in 2004, and since then there have been two more studio albums and a double live album.
However, his involvement with UFO wasn't simply being a sideman/guitarist, this involvement immediately led to the his co-penning of most of the material the band has released since he joined, where Moore brings more to the table than just his guitar prowess. Now a new compilation has been unleashed by the band focusing on their latter material titled Best of a Decade (SPV Records), spanning the band's years as a hard rock powerhouse after the turn of the millennium, where even some added live recordings of classics such as "Lights Out," "Let it Roll," & "Doctor Doctor" are thrown in representing the recent lineup.

I have set up a page for this Fund and you can visit it at the link below, for more information on how you can contribute.

When someone talks about a melodic rock and AOR band, there are always comparisons to Harem Scarem - as they were the band helped lead the way for guitar driven pop/metal that brought that types of music up to a level way beyond the hair metal gloss and glam. After multiple releases spanning years, the band decided to call it a day in 2008, with their final album Hope being unleashed by Frontiers Records that same year. Fans abroad, took it to heart when the band that helped provide the blueprint for modern melodic rock bands would come to the end of the road. However, it would not signal the end of the music, nor the recognizable vice of frontman Harry Hess
Two years later, Hess returns with First Signal, one of the finest melodic offerings that could bear the title, "best Harem Scarem album not by Harem Scarem." The album is filled with heaviness, a diverse array of tunes, big harmonies and a high sensibility for the pop sweet tooth, making it one of the contenders for best melodic rock albums of 2010 - and looking at how everything has been this year for melodic rock, it's been a great year.

Silence is Golden

Hailing from the New York area with a hard edged melodic penchant, Voices of eXtreme have unleashed their second offering of in-your face riffage known as Break The Silence. With the Sabbath meets Priest wall of sound, meets the dark aggression of Alice In Chains with a slight bit of thrash tendencies built in, the album rumbles through the assault of "Apocalypse," "Numb," & "Blown Away" to easing things down a bit on "Made of Stone," "Break the Silence," and the ballad "Tell Me What it Takes."
Having caught the ear of Anthrax's Dan Spitz, as well as Iron Maiden's Nicko McBrain and David Swales from Affinity Management (where the two co-manage the band), Voices of eXtreme were making a mark. Co-founded by vocalist Don Chaffin, who has many road & studio stories, having sung for Ram Jam, Ace Frehley, and The Vibes among others, the band has found solidarity with their sound as well as lineup changes.
