A Guitar Classic Revisited
I had this back in the 90's and decided it was time for a new copy after the purchase of the Jem JR guitar. This is a great album of instrumentals. I am glad to have rediscovered it.

Sonically the album delivered. No complaints. By far my favorite solo album of Steve's.
Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2015
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.

So we have a very interesting situation here.
Amazingly written, amazingly executed songs, without "vocals", played by a guitar virtuoso.
Now, before you decide not to buy this cd, because you're thinking, "nevermind...it's a shred guitar record", STOP. think again.
Yes, there are moments of shred, and yes, there are guitars coming from every possible corner of the mix, but this is not your customary guitar record...it is simply, everything you could want a guitar record to be, only WAY MORE.
These songs are imagination come to life.
Even his experiments with sound are melodic, and every bit musical.
I can't even use a word like "experiment", because it has a slightly negative connotation!
If you are a fan of music itself, and you want something truly "good" to become addicted and preoccupied with, this is it.
Everything people say sgt. Pepper was, this record really is...and without one single verse!
really. it is that good.
period.

Vai doesn’t fail to deliver in this. It definitely reflects an older, maybe better, style of his.

I remember buying this CD when it first came out (Compact Disc was a fairly new technology then) and being blown away. Now, 23 years later, it still blows me away. Vai is proves on this recording that he is one of the most musical guitarists - scratch that, one of the most musical people on this here planet.
Steve combines wonderfully crafted and beautiful arrangements and out of this world fretboard wizardry to make one of the most listenable albums I've ever heard.
As luck would have it, Steve is playing in my hometown of Chattanooga, TN in a few months. I didn't have to brush this CD off when I was reminded by the upcoming concert - this CD has been in my rotation since it came out and it's still one I listen to quite frequently...

Wenn Steve Vai, „Gitarrengott“ und Virtuose, in Interviews von „Frank“ und „Dave“ spricht, meint er damit Frank Zappa und David Lee Roth. Mit beiden Ausnahmekünstlern stand Vai als junger Musiker auf der Bühne. Einem großen Publikum wurde er bekannt als Teufelsgitarrist im Film „Crossroads“ (1986). Im Jahr 1990, zu der Zeit auch sexy Rockstar, nahm er dann seine erste Solo-CD auf: „Passion and Warfare“, Instrumentalmusik mit kurzen gesprochenen Texten als Einsprengsel.
Zwei Stücke daraus wurden als humorvolle Videos verfilmt und sind auf Youtube abrufbar. „I would love to“ zeigt Steve Vai als Schwarm und Objekt der Begierde von drei Teenagern. In „The Audience Is Listening“ bringt der junge Stevie, noch Schüler, mit seinem Gitarrenspiel anarchisch sein Klassenzimmer, ja die Schule zum explodieren. Vom musikalischen Gegenpol „For The Love Of God“ gibt es Konzertmitschnitte im Internet. Vor der Aufnahme dieses Stücks für die CD hat Steve Vai einige Tage gefastet.
Warum also überhaupt die CD? Ich finde es schön, die CD vor mir zu haben, so wie sie beim Herausbringen konzipiert war. Als Gesamtkunstwerk mit Musik, aber auch Texten und Illustration, u.a. einem Foto von Vai als Rockstar der 80-er Jahre.
Vais Musik ist dramatisch, man sollte aufmerksam zuhören, Am eingängigsten finde ich „I would love to“ mit seinem pulsierenden Drive. In manche Stücke muss ich mich noch einhören. Der oft einzigartige Wohlklang und die phantasievolle Expressivität der Gitarre sind es wert.
