InstruMentalCase.com has issued an interview with UFO guitarist VINNIE MOORE. The following is an exerpt:
Q: How is progress coming along on your next instrumental album?
A: "I’m close to being finished. Van Romaine (of the Steve Morse Band) played drums and John 'JD' Deservio (of Black Label Society) was on bass. All guitars are almost finished. I just need to do some keyboards and then mix it. But there’s no title yet."
Q: Any chance we’ll see a solo tour or some clinics to promote it?
A: "Yes... I think so. No definite plans yet though. It's too early to tell."
Q: How is the upcoming album different from your previous solo releases?
A: "I just chose some different notes this time! [Laughs] I don’t know… it’s hard to say! New songs. It's always hard for me to analyze my own stuff."
