UFO guitarist Vinnie Moore is featured in a new interview with Sleaze Roxx. An excerpt is available below.

Sleaze Roxx: There will be a new album coming early next year. Do you have stuff written to present the guys when you see them next?

Vinnie Moore: "I'm always writing. I always have song ideas laying around, I've gotten quite frustrated over the years because I know I will only live for so long and I'll never get to all of them, that kind of stresses me out sometimes. I have a whole batch of new song ideas and riffs ready to go. I'm about to go into my studio to demo them so I can send them to Phil Mogg. So we are just in the beginning stages of the writing process."

Sleaze Roxx: When I last spoke to you it was prior to the release of The Visitor. At that time you mentioned that Phil has responded better to your bluesy riffs. Is that the direction that the new material will be headed this time around too?

Vinnie Moore: "It's really hard to say. When we start writing the songs take on a life of their own and we just go with the flow. We have no plan, we start to get creative and it just grows into whatever it turns into. I have no idea what the new music will sound like stylistically. I know I have a lot of ideas; some bluesy and some heavy. We'll see what's chosen and we'll see what Phil decides to write lyrics to and we'll see how things shape up."

Sleaze Roxx: What do you wind up doing with ideas or riffs that aren't selected? Do you archive them and keep them for yourself or do you reintroduce them to UFO at a later time?

Vinnie Moore: "I archive a lot of stuff that hasn't been used. I once read a Pete Townshend interview where he was talking about his songwriting. Pete said that he has used every idea that he has ever had, so everything has turned into a song. That to me is pretty amazing. That's like to opposite of me, I really envy Pete for that."
