In addition to his influence on musical inspiration and innovation, Vai began branching out into the business of music last year by launching his own record label – Favored Nations. Vai continues to work with Ibanez, and literally put himself into a recent collaboration dubbed the JEM VAI2K DNA guitar – a limited-edition release of the JEM. In 1987, Vai helped guitar-maker Ibanez design the JEM, and then in 1989, the Universe 7-String guitar, which provided the low-end rumble many guitarists were craving. Not only did Vai’s music have a huge influence on contemporary hard rock, so did his guitar. But Steve Vai is a reflective composer, and the 25th anniversary of Passion and Warfare is a product of reflection, both on that time in Vai’s career and on how that time relates to what he has. Ironically, two record labels dropped Vai while he recorded the breakthrough album. The album expanded the lexicon of rock guitar and ushered in an era of guitar virtuosos in the early ’90s.
