Steve Vai played all guitars on the album. However, Adrian Vandenberg was credited as a bandmember and included in the group photoshoot in the album sleeve. David Coverdale's wife (1989–1991), Tawny Kitaen was on a video for the song "The Deeper the Love". Adrian Vandenberg has revealed in several interviews he thinks Vai's flamboyant guitarplaying was somewhat inappropriate. He thinks a more bluesy approach would have suited the album better.
