Review: Good music - Great guitarist, some songs are great but some are meh. Review: The beginning of Vai's best works - Steve Vai's 3rd album Passion & Warfare is a gem. That being said, I feel this album along with Satriani's "Surfing with the Alien", pushed the bar for guitarists so high that technique and aesthetics have become hard to achieve. Guitarist like Trevor Rabin (formerly of Yes) have abandoned the "Space guitar" technique of 5 finger tappings for long melodic stretches with less shredding. In Vai's War & Passion, we see Vai inserting less popular finger tapping and the over-usage of his sustainer & tremolo bar for (again) long melodic stretches. Liberty is truly an "Anthem" song. I almost expect to hear it at the beginning of an NHL game. Animal is one of the tastiest shredding songs because Vai uses a very tasty "Back beat". My last two favorite Vai tunes also appear on this fine album "For the love of God" again, like "Liberty" Vai uses melodic sustaining riffs versus mind boggling shreds. The other tune that is worth the price of admission alone is "Blue Powder". This song was given away in Guitar Player as a "Sound Page" on paper thin vinyl. The song combines the most melodic riffs that define Steve Vai along with the smoothest 100 mph riffs that would make Eddie Van Halen envious. "Blue Powder" also features an amazing mind blowing bass solo by Billy Shehan also formerly of David Lee Roth's band. Like Vai, Shehan actually does finger tapping on his Bass solo. This solo puts him in a class with Chris Squire and Les Claypool. I paid $4.99 for my CD. It's worth $17.99. Unfortunately, the players of G3 (Vai, Satriani and Malmsteen) have changed how we define a great guitarist. The 3 guitarists of G3 are excellent at what they do. But to quote the late Stevie Ray Vaughan: "Man I was playing 1000 notes a minute then B.B. King hit that 1 note and held it". SRV was making the point that often, less is more. If you are a fan of guitar virtuosos; you will love Vai's War and Passion. This album was produced to make Steve's lightening fast riffs, palatable (commercial) to the common man. Job well done. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0060ANXP8 | | Best Sellers Rank | #10,475 in CDs & Vinyl ( See Top 100 in CDs & Vinyl ) #488 in Hard Rock (CDs & Vinyl) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (839) | | Date First Available | October 28, 2011 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 33950904 | | Label | Legacy Recordings | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Legacy Recordings | | Number of discs | 1 | | Original Release Date | 2010 | | Product Dimensions | 5.6 x 0.47 x 4.98 inches; 3.04 ounces | | Run time | 52 minutes | ## Images ![Passion And Warfare - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81srbRoiUGL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good music *by Z***A on February 17, 2026* Great guitarist, some songs are great but some are meh. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The beginning of Vai's best works *by A***S on April 12, 2015* Steve Vai's 3rd album Passion & Warfare is a gem.

Whoever mastered it for Vinyl did excellent work. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7740553-passion-and-warfare](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/7740553-passion-and-warfare) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
