of Rainbow’s Man On The Silver Mountain;
Michael Jackson guitarist, Jennifer Batten, ripped through The Firm’s Radioactive

Due to the airport closures caused by the volcano eruption in Iceland, the band and crew are stranded in Greece.
The flights to Germany have been cancelled, so we are waiting for transport to shuttle us all

"Our apologies to everyone who was planning to come to the Nürnberg show. We are aiming to reschedule it as soon as possible."

Vinnie Moore posted the following update on his Official Fan Page
First 2 UFO shows rocked. We are in full tour mode now, playing Thessaloniki, Greece tonight.
We are heading to Germany tomorrow but have had to alter our travel plans because many airports have closed.
We now have to fly half way and drive the rest on the tour bus, and i think the last 30 miles will be on a camel,
so a 2 hour flight has become a 24+ excursion. there goes our day off. volcanic ash? wtf man?

Second installment of Aquiles Priester's tour diary
Second installment ofdrummer, Aquiles Priester - posting his continuation of a tour diary, which again, continues on his own website: Vinnie Moore Diary Tour 2010 – Insane Flights at Dawn!!!It’s over!!! It’s over!!! What a shame. I miss it already... I’m writing at Madri airport before boarding to São Paulo. I think this is the fourth or fifth time I pass through this very airport. Another airport we visited a lot was Milan airport due to connections. After our day off in Cologne, Germany, we headed for Belgium by van and arrived there after about two hours. The venue was very cozy and in spite of all the snow outside there was a good heating system indoors and that cheered us up. The gig was one of the best of the whole tour and, in spite of all the snow falling in the region, more people than expected showed up. The owner of the pub said that people couldn’t even leave their houses due to past blizzards. The following day we were going to play in London and left at 7am to arrive there at 5pm. In the course of this trip we even caught a ferry to get there. We only had time to drop off our luggage at the hotel and head out to set up the equipment and do a sound check. As the equipment was ours, the whole process took no more than an hour and a half, after which Vinnie conceded some interviews. That gave us some time to stroll close to the pub and buy some souvenirs. That was the only day when something like that was possible. At this gig we met Tristan, an extremely nice guy who takes care of Vinnie’s designs only because he is a huge fan. The following day we flew from London to Madrid and after another connection we arrived in Munich at 4pm. The crew had left London at 4am right after the gig to meet us at the Munich airport. This was the only way the band could sleep a little longer and the three guys of the crew took turns driving and sleeping. We left Munich airport and went straight to a pub in the city of Wetzlar. It was very cold and we had no time to warm up for this gig. After the gig was over and all the equipment loaded we arrived at the hotel at more or less 1am and slept until 5am when we got up and set out for Las Palmas, Spain. This time it was only the band and the sound technician, Martin. In other words, this was definitely going to be another nightmare since there’d be a local backline for all of us. To be on the safe side I always carry my DW 9000 double pedal, a closed hi-hat machine, two hi-hats and two Paiste splashes plus a Mega Cup Chime. These would save me if there wasn’t a decent ride available. We arrived at the end of the afternoon, left our things at the hotel and set off for the sound check. We were all exhausted due to the trip, but before the sound check the local promoter asked Vinnie to visit a fan. This boy was one of Vinnie’s biggest fans in Spain, but due to chemotherapy treatment wouldn’t be able to attend the gig and was completely desolated. With a huge smile on his face – and very willingly as usual – Vinnie didn’t think twice and took his guitar to jam with the boy. I thought his attitude was very worthy and this comes to show his concern as to his fans. Once again, his humane attitude took me by surprise. This trip to Las Palmas was a nightmare for me in particular. As soon as I received my luggage still on the airport luggage conveyor – where all of my equipment was – I realized that all the straps and the extensor that rises so that the wheels can be used were all broken. I had to drag the damn bag around the airport because I couldn’t find a cart. People who saw me must have thought I was crazy because I was hugging my suitcase as if it were the most important thing in the world. Actually that was the only way I could carry it since it weighed almost 25 kilos. After all the hassle to set up a local drum set, I found time to buy another bag to transport my equipment the following day without looking like a madman at the airport.... REPORT, CONTINUED ON AQUILES's OFFICIAL WEBSITE.

Drummer, Aquiles Priester posted a tour diary, mid way through the VM Solo tour - interesting reading, which continues on his own website: Vinnie Moore Diary Tour 2010 – Carnival in Germany!!!We travelled six hours by van from Salerno to play in Pisa, also located in Italy. As soon as the gig was over and all the equipment into the van, we went straight to Milan airport to catch a flight the next day at 10 am. We left Pisa at 4 am and I didn’t even have time to see the tower that doesn’t fall. It took us another sleepless six hours to get back. We caught a flight to Budapest and then a connection to Istanbul, Turkey. Lucky for us, the hotel was located on a busy avenue and the pub where we would play was right across the street. We dropped off our luggage in our rooms and half an hour later – without having slept properly for the third night in a row – we started the whole process of the tour’s first gig without our equipment, which was still in the van in Italy. As I had already expected, it was no easy accomplishment… But all of this had started a week before… Mike Dimeo and I had met at Rome airport on the 1st of February where we were received by Gabrielle, who works with the company that was managing all of the gigs. We hardly knew what a nice guy he’d prove to be. As the days went by, we began finding out. Mike had already been extremely nice the first time we met him. He had already played with bands such as Riot, The Lizards, Masterplan, among others. He was very experienced as to tours in Europe, since he’d done several of them. As soon as we arrived at the hotel, we took a shower and went after something to eat. At the reception we were informed that Vinnie Moore was already at the hotel, but we decided not to call him since we thought he might be sleeping. We did the right thing. He called us later and the three of us went out to dinner. Right after dinner we discussed the repertory to define the order of the songs and then went to sleep. Vinnie was always very open to our ideas and this was an indication that it would be a very easy tour, even though the schedule would be very hectic. The following day we had our first rehearsal where we met bass player Lars Lehmann – who plays with Uli Jon Roth – and UFO’s sound technician Martin Leisner, who is also German just like Lars. Both of them arrived at the rehearsal straight from the airport, already getting used to the tough schedule we’d have to face during the tour. After all the equipment was set up, we began rehearsing the repertory, playing each song two or three times already on the stage of a venue called Cross Roads, where our first gig would take place. During the first day we rehearsed for about five hours, not counting the setting up of the equipment. Later we had dinner at a great pizzeria where we took our first photo together. The following day would be our first gig. We arrived at the venue at 5 pm and rehearsed the whole gig one more time. We were ready for our first gig. Even though we’d only done two rehearsals and one sound check, things went well and everyone was satisfied with the outcome of the first gig… especially Vinnie’s fans. It was so cold during the second gig that when we played Saved By A Miracle, during which I have a drum solo, I wasn’t even working up a sweat yet. But anyways, I did it. I had to do it. It is different playing a solo when Vinnie is introducing me before the song. It is a lot of pressure. Another factor that causes pressure is that the drum solo is in the middle of the song, so the rest of the musicians are on stage waiting for my drum lick (which is always the same) to return to the song. The problem was that Tommy Aldridge had recorded the solo and I was playing it my way, but remitting to his solo in some parts. I had to respect the great master of the double bass drums. Besides him, Vinnie also had played with Joe Franco, Steve Smith, Shane Gaalaas, Van Romaine among others and Mike had already played with Bobby Rondinelli, Bobby Jarzombek among others. That is without mentioning Lars. In other words, they had already played with fantastic drummers I admire very much. This time I’m playing a free drum solo, without bridges. When it’s time for me to begin the drum solo, I think about what I’m going to do and then I just play whatever comes to mind. A free solo is always risky and sometimes you’re not very lucky when executing it. Other times things simply flow naturally. It is a good way to practice improvisation, but it is very difficult doing this while those guys are standing on stage watching me every night. After the third gig we went to Terano, still in Italy, where Vinnie would be doing a workshop. It was great to be able to observe him playing all the songs I was already used to listening to on my iPod. His punch, precision and feeling are amazing...

The European VM Solo Tour 2010, ended in Athens last night after an exhaustive 11 consecutive nights,
covering 9 different countries: Belgium, England, Germany, Gran Canaria, Spain, Lebanon, Austria, Italy and Greece
(with six Italian and two Turkey dates at the start of the tour) making it a total of 10 countries over 22 days!!

7th November 2009
It has been several years since we last heard a solo record from Vinnie Moore, but now the wait is finally over for his fans as “To The Core” has been just released to wide spread acclaim. “To The Core” features shred guitar, which Moore is known for, but this time around he has fused a lot more interesting musical passages, riffs, solos and a picking style that’ll leave the listener in a state of awe. Oh yes, it’s not just technical, it’s well played and executed instrumental rock music that’ll get you tapping your feet to his every beat. Musically, Moore has definitely taken the pains to put together something very well produced and out of the ordinary. Seeing that the album was recorded at his home studio, “To The Core” speaks volumes of musical perfection and bliss.
