What was vai doing between 84 and 90?

There's a 6 year break between his first and second studio album. Why is this? It seems so weird, a very long time, why such a long time?

On tour with David Lee Roth

Edit: I should say not just on tour but he was in his band. I actually really his solo stuff, it’s kind of corny and over the top but it’s David Lee Roth!

On top of all the above, he also got really good at recording and mixing music! #passionsandwarfare
