Adrian Vandenberg is one of rock’s finest yet most underrated guitarists, known for his melodic fire, songwriting chops and four decades of influence. His band Vandenberg first hit the UK in 1982 on the Michael Schenker Group tour, turning heads with a debut album recorded at Jimmy Page’s Sol Studios and packed with hard‑rock standouts like “Ready for You,” “Your Love Is in Vain” and “Wait.” In 1983, “Burning Heart” became a major U.S. hit, leading to tours with KISS and Ozzy Osbourne and two more albums, “Heading for a Storm” and “Alibi”.

Everything changed when Vandenberg played the iconic solo on Whitesnake’s 1987 smash “Here I Go Again.” He joined the band full‑time in 1986, co‑writing “Slip of the Tongue” and “Restless Heart” and helping drive Whitesnake through a 12‑year run of global success, sold‑out arenas and millions of albums sold.

Bassist Marco Mendoza has recorded and toured with some of the biggest names in music such as David Coverdale, Whitesnake, Thin Lizzy, Ted Nugent, Neal Schon, Dolores O’Riordan of the Cranberries and more. Self-described ‘guitar freak’ Vinnie Moorerecorded and toured as a member of Alice Cooper’s band. He joined the legendary group UFO in 2023.
