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."

Moore is working on his upcoming solo album which will feature BLACK LABEL SOCIETY bassist and drummer Van Romaine. 11 songs will appear on the long-awaited follow-up to his 2001 Shrapnel release Defying Gravity.
