Sketches and concepts for the record started as early as 1982 but were shelved after Vai joined David Lee Roth's band. When they parted ways, Vai was determined to finish it and ended up recording it in his home studio The Mothership while also working on the guitar parts for Whitesnake's 1989 album Slip of the Tongue.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe album includes the classic track “For the Love of God\", cited as one of the best solos of all time in a Guitar World magazine reader’s poll.

To boot, it has been remastered from the original analogue master tapes by the legendary Bernie Grundman, one of the best studio engineers in the business.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePassion And Warfare (25th Anniversary Edition) is available as limited edition of 3000 individually numbered copies on yellow, red and black marbled vinyl.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hundred Records","offers":[{"title":"Yellow Red And Black Marble Vinyl 2LP","offer_id":58181387518332,"sku":null,"price":41.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0283\/9012\/9750\/files\/image003.png?v=1794402487","url":"https:\/\/hundredrecords.co.uk\/products\/steve-vai-passion-and-warfare","provider":"Hundred Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
