Passion And Warfare
The Story
"Passion And Warfare" is a total guitar album from top to bottom, in which Steve Vai creates brilliant instrumentals of every kind. This 1990 release is so good, it's impossible to pick a highlight -- just listen to the whole CD, start to finish. "Passion And Warfare" contains brilliant compositions, astonishingly deep guitar playing and even examples of Vai's sense of humor. Critics have called this record, "...arguably the richest and best hard rock guitar-virtuoso album of it's time." You be the judge.
