Vai has added to the package Modern Primitive. wait… it is! First, Vai has remastered this release for the 25th anniversary from the original analog tapes, and has included 4 previously unreleased tracks from the same recording session! Now, to make this sucker even better… as if that were possible. He sees, hears and plays musically differently than anyone else on the planet, which is why this album will always be celebrated with wonder. He went from guitar hero to guitar god at once. With Passion and Warfare Vai created something the world had been waiting for but was not sure it could have. Even Steve, who is from outer space when it comes to musical talent, has never put this magic back in the bottle like this… though he has come close many times. Truth be told, it has not really been done as well since. He did what Edward Van Halen did with “Eruption.” Steve recorded a lot of shit that had never been done before. Steve simply did, with this album, what Hendrix did when he released his debut offering.

Yes indeed, 25 full calendars have been tossed in the garbage (some with kitties and puppies, others with wheelbarrows filled with flowers, or.) since Passion and Warfare changed how people looked at, and listened to, electric guitars. It has been a quarter of a century since Steve Vai told David Lee Roth to suck it and created one of the most definitive guitar albums of all time, celebrated here.
