„Widely acclaimed as his best album, Passion and Warfare finds Steve Vai coming into his own as a composer, as well as bypassing vocals almost entirely. Vai says it best when he characterizes this album as 'Jimi Hendrix meets Jesus Christ at a party that Ben Hur threw for Mel Blanc.' The album was recorded in his home studio, the Mothership, and released on Relativity/Epic Records. The album was inspired by sequential dream patterns Vai experienced earlier in his life, and results in one technically electrifying ride filled with vivid mysticism and groovy instrumental imagery. The one and only Satriani-taught and Zappa-tested virtuoso, Steve Vai, returns with his self-produced 1990 release, „Passion & Warfare“. Newly remastered in 96 kHz, 24bit from the original analog tapes, the Passion and Warfare 25th Anniversary Edition disc includes, as bonus tracks, four previously unreleased recordings from the Passion and Warfare sessions. The now-classic album, which took several years to record, features 'For the Love of God,' 'Liberty,' 'Erotic Nightmares,' 'The Animal,' 'Blue Powder,' 'The Riddle' and several other legendary Vai tracks. To commemorate the 25th anniversary of his landmark 1990 album, Passion & Warfare, Steve Vai has announced an extensive world tour that will celebrate the groundbreaking recording. Steve Vai celebrates the 25th anniversary of his 1990 album, „Passion & Warfare“, with reissuing a remastered version of it with a companion album, titled „Modern Primitive“.

This satanic evil would never enter her home, and also what the hell was wrong with me? The next time we went to Pathmark, which was probably less than 12 hours later, I slipped Number of the Beast inside Dire Straits Brothers in Arms and put it in the cart. One day I worked up the courage to ask my mom to buy it. I was so scared shitless of this record that I would challenge myself to look at it before closing my eyes.

I'd spend the entire time staring at one single album.

I didn't care because Pathmark had a small record section next to the toothpaste. My mom used grocery shopping as an excuse to have two-hour conversations with everyone in the store. I spent my childhood inside a supermarket called Pathmark.
