1984 studio album by Gary Moore
Victims of the Future Gary Moore , released on 30 January 1984. It was the first album to feature former UFO guitarist/
keyboardist Neil Carter and bassist Bob Daisley . It was also the last to feature bassist Neil Murray , who rejoined Whitesnake , and drummer Ian Paice , who rejoined the reformed Deep Purple in 1984.
Background [ edit ]
Continuing Moore's path in the hard rock genre, Victims of the Future is a collection of straight-out rock n' roll anthems (such as "Teenage Idol" and "Hold On to Love"), a mournful love ballad ("Empty Rooms", which was later re-recorded by Moore for his 1985 album Run for Cover Yardbirds ' "Shapes of Things ", and two darker songs, featuring social and political commentary: "Victims of the Future" and "Murder in the Skies", the latter a protest against the Soviet Union's shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007 .
The album was released in North America with a different cover and altered content. The guitar solo intro to "Murder in the Skies" was removed, and "Devil in Her Heart", a single B-side, was added. "All I Want", omitted from the LP, was included as a bonus track on the cassette version.
Moore later dismissed Victims of the Future as "just one of my feeble attempts at heavy rock".[8]
