[@DIMEDAMAGE]

i dont understand why this band never took off.this whole album was a masterpiece.still listen to it today

[@sskalin30]

absolutely man...every time I listen to it, it's a time machine. Such awesome musicality.

[@chrisbrackin432]

I always love this band saw them once in ATL back in the 90s I think they were a little too political for the time that’s why they didn’t takeoff as big as some bands

[@CrochetRaven]

They were my first concert. I got a kiss from Kory Clarke. Technically they were the opening act for Queensryche, but I went for WS

[@NoineNoineNoine]

Record company fucked them. Lack of promotion etc. I was lucky enough to see Kory and the boys 20 times over the last 30 years.

[@jamesquick2429]

Kory told David Geffin of Geffin Records he was a asshole basically and Geffin got them blacklisted for a long time in America

[@jeremiahguthrie3326]

if it weren't for KZbin I'd never know there were still Warrior soul fans. these guy never got the notoriety they diserved

[@jamesworthingtonpost]

they came at the end,,,,goodbye

[@guitarzan8671]

i remember buying this on cassette tape at the swansea mall in massachusetts back in the day. popped it in my player in my 72 super beetle

[@charddaw6642]

One of my faves too. Saw them open for Queensryche in Long Beach '92

[@workingboat]

We are still out here, mine are on cassette tapes

[@liver72]

Salutations from the ghetto nation brother! We are all over.

[@newageopinions870]

This song is so criminally underrated...it hurts!

[@henrikharbin5521]

The first two albums are CLASSIC.

[@magnusthimberg6836]

First three I would say. Salutations from the ghetto nation had some real amazing songs too.

[@vuggish]

@@magnusthimberg6836 Yeah. Awful production though.

[@brokl26]

I see all these comments stating that Warrior Soul is very underrated and should have been bigger or various other, similar, comments. This is one of my favorite albums ever. The truth for me is simple. Warrior Soul was like me. Warrior Soul was speaking to me and for me. For those like me. Out of the status quo. Out on the fringes. Wondering why people look at me like they do. Wondering why no one else feels or thinks the way that I do. Those of us that were around when Last Decade Dead Century dropped were blown away. Speechless. Couldn’t believe what we just heard. We are all much older with kids, possibly grandkids. We work jobs we rallied against, vote, own boats, cabins and all those things we despised all those years ago. But inside, our minds and hearts, we still feel like we don’t fit. We would still feel more at home out on the fringes. Then we crank Warrior Soul, Last Decade Dead Century and we leave the status quo behind if only for a moment. Because we don’t belong there. And we never will.

[@grumpygrump2639]

I think what they were saying matters a whole lot less than how they were saying it. Too many bands go the way of saying something they think is powerful in an uninteresting way which IMO is most any band once they get past 40'ish. I'm fairly mainstream, though I don't look or act it. Warrior Soul said things in a very interesting way. The fact that most of the lyrics were on the fringe just made it all the more interesting to me.

[@pullyourluck]

still listening to this band since 1990. Still as great as ever

[@jonmallek7746]

Wish Corey could get that voice back.

[@timwade8629]

When Warrior Soul first came out, l played their first 2 albums all the time at parties and in my truck. I took alot of flack for liking them because they didn't sound like any other thing out there at the time! So ahead of their time. Still listen to them today.

[@raystheroof]

That's how it was for me when I played Smashing Pumpkin's first album at partys. A few month's later, everyone's telling me how good they are.

[@grumpygrump2639]

@@raystheroof 'At the time' still translates to today. I have been waiting 33 years to hear something similar to that first album again. They nailed a sound at about exactly the wrong time. Imagine the first Sabbath album coming out in the early 90's. It would have gotten lost.

[@steelerguy52]

I think they had a sound that bands today are playing and warrior soul did it 30 years ago...they deserved bigger success

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

Greg you are so right

[@alejandrobedoya796]

Totally agree Gentlemans!!

[@andreacarraro4853]

Indeed. Amazing band.

[@markshaver3814]

I bet this band has some awesome stories from back in the day. They still made it in my opinion. I bet they love all their underground fans haha.

[@TheSpelledMilk]

Yep, so True. It's October 2020 still jammimg to it !

[@SimonMarley]

Absolutely a amazing band, they optimise the late 80s early 90s, both in the studio and live, so underrated but lorded by most of the biggest bands. Long live Kory Clarke and the mighty Warrior Soul

[@tullbokk]

One of the best bands in the early 90's . . . Along with Saigon Kick ;-)

[@cheapenstein]

good to see some others still remember Saigon Kick

[@rollergoalie16]

Hell yeah!!! Florida native here, seen Saigon Kick at least 50 times, good to know people still rep SK after all these years.

[@rmac0019]

YES! Two bands that hit the scene just when grunge was spreading to all the music scenes, I was playing in a band in the scene in Philly at the time and loved Warrior Soul and Saigon Kick but both in my opinion got overshadowed by the grunge movement

[@charddaw6642]

Hell yeah, both were always rotating in my truck's player along with Love/Hate and Armored Saint

[@DalleyMusic]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@ronny-2112]

Great band, super underrated.

[@superjanesaddiction]

I saw them at The Marquee Club May ‘90 and The Astoria London Dec ‘91 …. 🎸🤘

[@DennisAlvey]

This record is a classic. Best thing they ever did. I love this record to this day.

[@audiogus2651]

Totally built a major chunk of my brain at 13, I listen to it and instant time travel. Love it.

[@thediehardarkansasrazorbak7288]

As an 80s metalhead these guys were ahead of their time but that doesn't mean they didnt know what they were doing this band was very underrated

[@coldistheshoulder]

I saw this video on headbangers ball in April 1990 and rushed to the store the next day to buy it on cassette....yes cassette. I wore it out and 30 years later I still think this entire album is pure genius, its in the top ten of the best albums from the 90s easily, across any genre, and one of the all time best debut albums in the entire rock genre. Real head scratcher why it never took off. He had the 90s attitude before everyone else did. It likely was as someone else here said that they were just ahead of their time and perhaps located in the wrong city, amongst so many other well known NYC acts they probably got lost in the shuffle.

[@joescott3232]

Whole album is underrated as well as the band

[@jonathanbarents-vonhohenha3761]

I remember to have seen this clip in 1990 when Skid Row, Winger, Poison. Warrant, Kix etc were on the up. This was absolutely different, musically and lyrically. The perfect bridge between 80s glam metal and 90s alternative rock and grunge

[@tommymontoya3066]

Criminally underrated band 🎸🎤🥁

[@ValerieKirkwood]

Heyyyyy lads thanjyou for that amazing night at the voodoo yous were so fuckin awesome abd thanjyou for the guitar picks rock on xxxxxxxoooooo

[@violeteyes5255]

When this song was released, it was just so different from anything else out there. We were so force-fed by the record labels and radio with bands and songs they wanted to push down our throats that Warrior Soul was ultimately passed on by the powers that be. I was always looking for something different and I remember discovering Warrior Soul and just couldn't believe how many people had never heard of them. I was always introducing new music to my friends but sadly so many of them just went with the cookie cutter trends of the day and never ventured outside of the box. I have thousands of LPs and CDs of all different genres of music, but "We Cry Out" by Warrior Soul has always been one of those songs that just stood out. What a great song and what a great period of time to have lived.

[@grumpygrump2639]

The only reason I ever heard the song was due to the fact that I was working college radio. None of the commercial radio stations here (NE USA) would touch something this good.

[@truthhurts79]

Well said 😎👌

[@morriscolautti9822]

First heard this song in the early 90's on a late night music video show on Aussie TV. (RAGE..ABC). It was this video between a Pearl Jam song and a Screaming Trees song. Something sounded different about them. Years later discovered that they weren't a grudge band, but hailed from New York. They had a harder edge, a punkier sound. THE most underrated, under-appreciated band of the period. I will fly their flag always.

[@MrOngbak82]

saw this band in 91 when they opened for queensryche, was instantly hooked. great socially aware band, who's music is more relevant now then ever.

[@srw92831]

1 of my fav bands, sorely underrated

[@compens]

srw92831 Indeed!

[@compens]

I still cry out! This song is still true today!

[@muzikkraz]

Such a tragedy that they aren't more popular because this song is catchy as hell.

[@mickybianco8496]

We havnt all died off. Still here enjoying your jams. ❤💋

[@declanoshaughnessy7733]

I saw this band twice in support to the Almighty and Warrior Soul sole act an absolute brilliant band 👍👍🤘🤘🤘

[@dreamwarriorthresh]

And Kory is still rocking hard...the Soul are very much alive!!

[@markshaver3814]

Hello!! Warrior Soul fan from vevay indiana. I discovered these guys on Headbangers ball when I was 14 in 1991. I'm 43 now and still rockin..haha

[@mydayis5]

Warrior Soul were my religion for a while back then. One Xmas I spent the whole holiday painting a huge replica of their logo on my bedroom wall. I even tried to send tapes of my guitar playing to Kory ‘if you ever need a new guy etc…..” …..I now work in insurance!! 🤦‍♂️

[@MarvelDcImage]

They were the last gasp of the New York rock scene

[@michaelschmidt9708]

Not true. The NY scene was very healthy then - White Zombie, Prong, Helmet, Quicksand, Raging Slab and others moving from indie to major labels and releasing great stuff bin the early 90s. And for a while it looked like Mind Funk might hit the big time.

[@thookman08]

Still. Gives. Me. Chills.

[@uzi978]

Waaay ahead of their time, I loved 'em back then... feels good to listen again. :)

[@beerjitsu]

One of the most.criminally overlooked bands of the 90's by far. This whole album (especially this song and Lullaby) kicked some major ass. And Corey Clark had phenomenal hair, heh

[@almaguervera8015]

M A S T E R P I E C E!!

[@ljwhitmire200]

I remember when I first heard this on my college radio station, WKNC in Raleigh, I had to have it. Unlike today I couldn't go online and get it. I went to all the local record stores and came up with nada. I searched for months. Finally I think I found it in a small Record Bar. I pestered the manager to go through all the cabinets and dig it up for me. Still love all of their songs. They've held up very well all these years!

[@argonwheatbelly637]

I used to queue this up on the radio show I had at 2:00 AM on my alma's station. Had a show for a week while the regular guy was away. Changed the format big time.

[@wulfsden865]

You know, I forgot just how GREAT this music is! Love it. Last Decade Dead Century was one of my faves of all time.

[@travisdomine1240]

Love this song it's nostalgic. My brother Paul passed away few years back, but he introduced us to this bands music. So, in a sense it's bittersweet to relive the times.

[@hmackie6823]

they were unique

[@grumpygrump2639]

Still are

[@stephenbennett4941]

i bought this in 1990,i followed them until they split,i listened everyday,every album is brilliant,they should've been huge,they had everything,a major label,a great sound,look,everything,oh well,at least we've got they're albums.

[@mishishpee3723]

stephen bennett because of lyrics that's why their were not big

[@catrinab3294]

they are still a band and tour

[@sethkaicer319]

I was 18 when this came out and hated the world so this album spoke to me.

[@theneverendingstage]

On of my favorite songs of all time! Just jams dude is stacked with talent and the band was killer!

[@TheReincarnatedDeath]

The bridge in this song is great.

[@Jioti_Parcharides]

One of the best songs ever written. Imagine a melancholic teen hearing this first time back in 1990. This was cure, man! Don't know why but for me they always have been the American U2.

[@grumpygrump2639]

I threw up a little since you compared them to U2. I don't compare them to any other bands as I have never heard anything similar enough. Classic. Not quite Metal, definitely not Grunge (which I love, YMMV).

[@Jioti_Parcharides]

@@grumpygrump2639 well, you are right, the U2 comparison is bullshit and unsuitable. I was 14 in 1990 when LDDC came out, so I compared WS with the early new wave inspired U2 stuff, since WS didn't sound any near 80ies hard rock or any metal, although they kept it very heavy. Grunge was not established in 1990 as a separate direction (at least in Germany, I don't know about the US). But WS melancholy reminded me much of new wave bands as to be found in some early U2 songs.

[@MeeechiganGoBlue]

Saw this show in Detroit when they were touring this album. Good stuff!

[@g-dcomplex1609]

i was lucky enough to see em live at the arrogant brawlroon chicago illinois early 1990's on the drugs, god and the new republic tour, the band members were way laid back and all of them signed my warrior soul poster, they rocked the house.

[@chrisfrancz]

Have not heard this song since 1990. One of my first CDs. Great song!

[@JonMaida]

2018 and still play them once a week. Been listening to them since their first record dropped. Their music is timeless it still kills anything out today.

[@travisdomine1240]

blows away most of the music today

[@MegaHellstrike]

Oh wow, this sounds great! Never heard of Warrior Soul before but just found out that they'll play in my small, local live concert bar. Definitely going to that show!

[@benemery7770]

Found and I will be jamming this often this point forward

[@timeverly8717]

I saw this band open for Soundgarden at the Troc in Philly.

[@Liam8VIII]

One of the many great hard rock adjacent bands from the 80s/90s transition period that sadly slipped through the cracks. Saigon Kick, Life Sex & Death, King's X, Galactic Cowboys, Atomic Opera, For Love Not Lisa, The Almighty, Phantom Blue, Circus of Power. There's many more.

[@Spudicus07]

WARRIOR SOUL= The Best Music Of That Era. Thank God For KZbin. I Can Re-live Some Of My Youth. LOL

[@paperock]

Love this song!

[@pkdiddy]

These guys were just a hair away from breaking it really big. Such a good band.

[@MikeSwirled]

[@grumpygrump2639]

Poor timing, poor promotion. So much better than the crappy hair metal that was dominating the scene.

[@gumbochamp]

Saw them supporting Metallica at Wembley Arena in May 1990 and they were fantastic. Still love that album - nothing else quite like it.

[@steveferguson9949]

Likewise awesome band then still are now should've been huge still my favourite band

[@machidaman]

Me too! Had never heard of them before and bought album that week.

[@micheldionne8939]

Why where they not popualr

[@mishishpee3723]

Zillaman67 how you know this?

[@stuartjenkins3039]

F**k man, EVERYONE knew this. FFS Kory f**king slated Geffen every chance he had. Geffen gave WS NO support at all, the only support the band got from the label was the European branch, and even that was stymied by head office. WS managed to give a big FU to Geffen with their contractually obligated "Greatest Hits" LP, this from a band that released what, 2 singles for Geffen, by calling it "F*cker". Also WS were way ahead of the pack in pissing on Trump. "Donald Trump is just a money whore." The Wasteland.

[@stuartjenkins3039]

Zillaman67: Trump WAS bought. He was in debt up to his eyeballs, and then, suddenly, after some of his people talked to some Rusian mafiyachics who happen to be supporters of Putin, he wasn't. I'm no libtard, but if you think that a sborn-rich, serial-lying, tax-dodging 1%er ISN'T part of the elite that he claims to stand against, well I've got this bridge in Brooklyn that I'm thinking of selling, make me an offer.

I wish Warrior Soul had Toured with Nirvana instead, they fit in more with the culture and attitude of Seattle bands

[@metalguru413]

I believe he is...

[@andreacarraro4853]

Man, he had peers such as Perry Farrell, Kurt Cobain and Axl Rose. It was a very high call and he never managed to have as much visibility as these other three guys did. Didn’t lack the talent to be though...

[@guitarzan8671]

yeah he was warning 30 years ago we would be destroyed in 30 years. 30 years from now we will still be around watching aoc videos that we will be destroyed in 30 years......yeah, see a pattern. been watching this my whole lifetime.

[@guitarzan8671]

did love this band though, just saying.

[@jemheys2409]

Just superb, a band that deserved more recognition, loved them, Love/Hate and Claytown Troupe, all great live.
