Victims Of The Future is an album by UK blues-rock guitarist Gary Moore, released in 1983 (see 1983 in music). Continuing his path in the hard rock genre, 'Victims Of The Future' was 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 also redone by Moore in his 1985 Run for Cover album), a cover of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things", and two darker songs, with some social and political commentary: "Victims Of The Future" and "Murder In The Skies", the latter being a protest against the Soviet Union's shooting down of Korean Air Flight 007. Moore performed at the 1984 Texxas Jam in Dallas, Texas on June 10, 1984 during this tour.
