Vinnie Moore has played with Alice Cooper's band, on the "Operation Rock 'N' Roll" tour, and performed in Alice Cooper's album "Hey Stoopid" in 1991.

His band has been an opening act for Rush, on their northeast leg of their "Roll The Bones" tour.

He has been the guitarist of the hard rock band UFO, since 2003, and they have released 4 albums together until October 2014.

Vinnie Moore's earliest influences include - among others - Jeff Beck, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple and Queen.

In January of 1985, a production company in Los Angeles was looking for a guitarist to play in a Pepsi TV commercial . They found Vinnie Moore in Mike Varney's "Spotlight" column, in Guitar Player Magazine.

As Vinnie Moore recalls: "I was initially supposed to "act" in the commercial, but the part was eventually given to someone else. Fortunately, they liked the tracks that I recorded and used my music/playing in the ad. Close-up shots of my hands playing the guitar were also used in the ad, and so I always used to joke that my hands were famous."
