Vinnie Moore - Meltdown

[@andrewbevard]

Not only was he the most underrated guitarist of the 80's and 90's, he also had the best hair.

[@Max-Mustermann46]

The most underrated guitarist of the world

[@richardbates2344]

I fucking love this song! Where's all the love for Vinnie!?....

[@ninometalyears]

and possibily the best...his debut album Mind´s eye is as good as Yngwie´s Malmsteen Rising Force

[@yurilucia2266]

@@kmanick107 I can confirm that. I had the incredible pleasure to met him during a clinic in Rome, in the 96 if I recall correctly. He has been nothing short than lovely with his fan. A very polite gentleman and one of the finest guitarists that the 20th century gave us.

[@GanjawarsLostPro]

I'm a simple man - I see Vinnie Moore, I upvote

[@tomrose1884]

I can't imagine the morons that gave him a thumbs down

[@nethbt]

I still can't imagine how guys like Kirk Hammett or Kerry King got famous and rich while this virtuosic beast is still relatively unknown to most casual guitar fans

[@ptose]

because having a better technique does not mean necessarily better music.

[@prof_jesus]

Vinnie ain't so good at live performances... That is one of the many other factors lol

[@ODPTV1]

Bad timing, 90s solos were out.

[@Bogeyman19DidNotScareMyAss]

Because most people don’t listen to instrumental music. I love it but most don’t.

I wore that album out. Every song on it is absolutely mindblowing.

Music like this used to be played on mainstream radio....let that sink in boys. Summer of '91!

[@JasminMusic1602]

After 28 years...still kickass !!! \m/

[@sharkswimmer7114]

I don't have time to write up the long story but I was at an unusual gig in Santa Barbara where there was only 24 fans in attendance. It was like a private show so we loved it. But the story involves how Moore told some bullies from Hollywood to stop messing with me and my friend from NC. He went out of his way to be cool and I still appreciate it. JD the bassist as well. These are truly cool people in addition to top world class musicians! I will always love Vinnie Moore and JD.

[@keithgarevich3931]

Don't be mad at me. I'm listening for the first time. I'm 67. He sounds amazing! But I think what has happened to Vinny, like to do many 80s guitarists, is that there were quite a few great guitarists that emerged then. I'm an Alice Cooper nut and he always had the best guitarists on his tours! Hell, Vinnie may have toured with him! But I agree with all of you, that was fuggin' amazing!

[@rhythmtreble7311]

Keith, a fan is a fan brother! Better late than never finding all this cool shit. If you stop finding jems you stopped looking. Rock on. \m/

[@cemsarioglu5947]

Vinnie was already the guitarist of Alice in the late 80’s, early 90’s. He also played on his many tracks on Stoopid album as well. Correct me if I’m wrong. Cheers.

[@alwimat1]

I have been listening to his cassette & Cds since the 80s and because of him i learned the lead guitar till now. Thanks Vinnie Moore

one of the few guitarists whose sound has evolved with the times and his music keeps getting better and better....thank god for Vinnie

[@schitzorage]

Been my favorite guitar player for a long time.

[@theworldsokayestmichigande851]

Until today I had never heard of him...

[@alexledesma1877]

Vinnie Moore! God bless you! 🙏 i love your music.

[@schitzorage]

The Maze album is my most favorite. But I love them all.

[@OmniscientVirtuosity]

schitzorage Facts. That album is truly incredible. Still awe inspiring to this day

[@nomad5375]

Vinnie is an amazing musician! This is my "Go to" jam to start my day. I love it!

[@Bo-Yan]

This was the first Vinnie's composition I have ever heard in year 1994. I totally love your music! Thank you so much Vinnie! Musical Genious!

[@Landofcorruption123]

Vinnie is good in guitar 🎸 truly a legend 🙏

[@norespectbassist]

Who is the one pinhead that put a dislike on here???? I'm a bassist and it doesn't get much better than this in my opinion. When my Wife and I got married 25 years ago, she walked down the aisle with Vinnie's "April Sky" playing. Time Odyssey and Meltdown are my two favorite's, but I give a thumb's up to everything that Vinnie has put out there over the years.........

[@kingsxkids]

I just discovered Vinnie about a month ago when I started learning morning star From Warleyson Almeida- who’s a monster cover fellow. Then I found I like this tune even more. Why did I never hear it earlier? Anyway, I thank God. I now know what Vinnie is capable of. 🙂 There’s a lot more soul here. Plus I like the melodies better than 90% of Yngvies work

[@anthonykajic124]

The precision and tone the feal is spot on

[@jayteesgear]

I remember when this came out! I was 15 and went with friends to see this show! 1991- I never realized how Alice in Chains it was! Just Brilliant

[@syiunshi]

Alice in Chains is my favorite band. That being said, they were basically born from the end of the 80s and kept metal evolving. This song is another example of the post 80s evolution. You can hear something similar in Warrant's Uncle Tom's Cabin and many others.

[@jayteesgear]

@@syiunshi fully agree! Uncle toms and We Die Young are almost identical

[@northnick3317]

How am I just now discovering this? That was amazing! lml

[@HuckFlynn]

Came here from Music Is Win since he said "I just can't describe how perfect I think that song is". Sounds pretty amazing to me too.

[@joshuamorris3137]

The main "chorus" lick with those crazy bends is so sick, get's me every time.

[@VnMJack]

I remember this one from the day!!

[@moeabertolucci]

Thank you for the memories Vinnie!

[@ivanmunoz2961]

I remember going on the bus listening to this in cassette on the way to my guitar lessons...thank you Mr Moore for the motivation

[@wattage2007]

Saw Vinnie play this at a guitar clinic in Newcastle UK in the early 90s. He played a warmup solo at the start of the show, packed with chops and at the end asked the crowd "any questions?" A lone voice shouted "Yeah, do you want to join my band?" 🤣

[@enriqueducasse9754]

Shadows of yesterday...

[@brianbergmusic5288]

I just heard this tune yesterday thanks to a compilation CD I received as a stocking stuffer. This diamond in the rough really hit the spot. I can't believe I never listened to this guy before. Gonna be checking out more Vinnie!

Terrific guitarrist, the best, ever.

[@g.attewell6085]

This, is just, LEGENDARY ❤ Thanks Vinnie !

[@denniswilliams9145]

I still remember when a fellow guitarist asked me “if I had heard Vinnie Moore” way back when and the odd look on his face when I responded with no… It was most likely not that much different than the odd look on my face once I finally heard Vinnie, because he absolutely blew my freaking mind

Your still the man Vinnie Moore,I absolutely love your playing style/tone/feel. Paul Gilbert is my other all time Favorite Shredder. I've been listening to your music ever since I've been a kid. I just started playing guitar again and have a small Recording/Practice Studio. I started a KZbin Channel. Keep up all the great work my man.

[@rangelitoguitar2816]

I like some others. Greg Howe and Tony Macalpine are excellent guitarrists too. High Level in playing. Mike Varney defined Vinnie Moore using the right words. A legend of music and guitar.

You rarely see a jazz bass being played in rock. I wonder why. I was more of a Racer X fan but I knew of him back then. This is cool. Need to go back and research.

I used to have have this album on CD back in college....great album. I wish Vinnie would resissue it on vinyl....that'd be killer!!!

I absolutely love this cd and sooo glad you did this video too. Early to mid 90s in Chicagoland area there was a cable access show titled Rock Hard Videos I think. That show regularly played this video. The good ol days.
