Steve Vai
Biography.:1990s.
From 1985-90, Vai recorded "Passion and Warfare" at his home studio, his second studio solo album.   After leaving Roth's band in 1989, Vai bought out of his Capitol Records contract and signed on with Relativity Records for the release of "Passion and Warfare", which was completed shortly after he began recording the guitar parts for Whitesnake's "Slip of the Tongue" album, where he replaced the injured Adrian Vandenberg.
 Upon its release in November 1989, "Slip of the Tongue" sold over three million copies worldwide, reaching number 10 on the "Billboard" 200 while Vai joined the band on their thirteen-month world tour. 
 In September 1990, Vai released "Passion and Warfare" through Relativity Records, and within the first week of release, the album had reached number 18 in the "Billboard" 200, selling over a million and a half copies worldwide.
