As such, Whitesnake frontman David Coverdale has small spoken parts on the album Coverdale, Adrian Vandenberg and Rudy Sarzo are credited with backing vocals. It was all recorded in The Mothership studio at his home in the Hollywood Hills, a 1,600-square-foot (150 m 2) building in which his guitar parts for Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue were also recorded. This album is a true masterpiece and a must for anyone guitarist or anyone who just enjoys a good tune to hum.Passion and Warfare was written based on a series of dream sequences that Vai had when he was younger, and in the guitar music book of the album, Vai sums it up as " Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur threw for Mel Blanc". Whether Vai is jamming to a rock powerhouse such as "Erotic Nightmare" or pouring his heart out on an acoustic ("Sisters") each song has it's on unique feel and story. Steve has a true passion for his music, and you can truly feel his love in each measure of this beautiful album. Yet at the same time, the tune "Blue Powder" seems to convey a series of emotiona better left for the music to display. Some songs seem to have been written purely for the fun of playing them, such as "Greasy Kid's Stuff," an up tempoed song build around a nice melody and a sweet guitar tone. From the nearly orchestral and highly patriotic tune "Liberty" to Steve's signature song "For The Love Of God" this album is full of every emotion one can express. Steve Vai's "Passion And Warfare" is a true show of technical brilliance, deep levels of compositional skills, and true musical inspiration. As Vai once said, "Kill the guy with the ball, ice pick in the forehead, rip off your head and shit in the hole but all with a smile." Pa Review Summary: From sweep picking to two-hand tapping bass fills this album has just about everything you could want and then some.
