Three solid back-to-back albums from this band in the early 90s. -Last Decade Dead Century -Drugs, God and the New Republic -Salutations from the Ghetto Nation Wore these out in my tape deck. Could not believe they were not getting more attention. "Charlie's Out of Prison", "Love Destruction", "Drugs, God and the new republic", all incredible jams.
I agree on those three of course. The Spaceage Playboys and Destroy the War Machine are killer too, and many great tunes on Stiff Middle Finger and Back on the Lash. Spaceage Playboys the band was awesome too. Along with a shoutout to Johnny Jetson and Tattooed Millionaires.
They were underground , and that's where the best bands where back then man , they where the shit !!!! They never needed mainstream success that's why they still are awesome , first couple albums still play on my shit today , shine , dimension , golden shore , etc , I'm glad they didn't get ruined shame bout the drummer though , I've been playing music 30 years I love these guys
Veronica & Brent Campbell ya kory voice sound like shit though the rest of the band no were to be found he plays with brits that are way younger too bad he won't get other 2 to play john and Pete marks dead sadly
Yeah me too! Saw them in London last year in an intimate recording studio. Kory is still one of the best frontmen ever! Salutations is one of my fave with Space Age Playboys being a sheer adrenaline rush!!
I watched them on Headbangers Ball back early 90's and I went and bought there album that same week. I never did see them again being played on HB but I did have the VHS recording of that one show!
Loudest show I've ever been to. Toads Place in New Haven. Singer says turn it up with around 50 people in the joint. You could actually feel that volume raise. Just an amazing show.
The irony is that the attitude, a lot of the messages in the Warrior Soul songs, and a lot of the sounds Warrior Soul produced would have fit in well with the Seattle Grunge scene music -- which, actually, was quite varied.
@@chriscampbell9191 yeah I agree, I think if Warrior Soul had signed with Colombia records to start with and had Dave Jerden who produced Alice In Chains Facelift and Dirt produce Last Decade Dead Century instead, it would have sounded a million times better and ahead of the curve, the ideas for the album are ahead of the time but the production is 80s it would have sounded much better and more intense with him producing, Columbia records was better at marketing and probably could have marketed Warrior Soul a lot like Alice In Chains and in with the Seattle Grunge sound and given them more exposure, Geffen had obstacles of Guns n Roses and later Nirvana to promote, so unfortunately Warrior Soul got pushed to the wayside, Geffen tried to put Warrior Soul with Queensryche to tour but they had more in common with the bands out of Seattle, Saigon Kick faced a similar issue, they could never escape being labeled as a hair band because of one ballad they wrote and sadly were too diverse for their own good, if they had focused on making more songs like Hostile Youth, Body Bags, One Step Closer, they probably could have win people over
I was jonesing to hear this song, cool that someone else showed up here too after 3 years! I was working at a record store when this came out and played it in the store constantly, a great album and great tune.
I never got to see Warrior Soul live but I did get to see Kory Clarke sing with Trouble on their last tour. It was only the second show on the tour but it was awesome!
This song smacked me in the face when I first heard it, I think it was a "random" buy in the Ws of cassettes. And, Holy God! That's how I found Guns N Rose's too. People responded by saying, "Wow, who are these people?" My brother sent me a bootleg concert video of a metal band from San Francisco and guess who they were:Metallica.
my younger friend turned me on to this band and others in turn me and my older brother turned him on to The Little River Band...the Universe wants to be in balance...it's not,but it wants to be
only 7,000 listeners on Spotify, that is insane one of the true mysteries in recorded music Chill Pill is patchy but almost everything up until Space Age Playboys is either pure gold or verging on classic. I'll never understand how this band is so underrated, but as some of you say they were perhaps black sheep, who never quite fitted into a scene and were lost between certain rises and falls of genres. Hail Warrior Soul!!
I did for a nite or two when i booked them around upstate n.y. 20 + years ago. the next day i found "Warrior Soul" written in sharpy all over the house in the funniest places, bottom of ashtrays, side of med. cabnet etc. kept finding for mths. great memories!!
One of my favorite bands of all time and hardly anyone I know have never heard of them.WHY!!!! They are like a huge chunk of gold that hasn't been discovered.They should have been a huge stadium show like Guns n Roses! WHY WASNT THEY??? I don't understand that at ALL!!
Love, love, love!!!! And Kory was in the top 5 singers of this era, and the hottest looking M'fer around. Miss The Cat Club, Miss The Scrap Bar, Miss Zone DK, The Wah Wah Hut, The Pyramid Club, Woody's, Spododee, The Marquee, Rock girl, Limelight......
They never hit. But be honest, that’s one of the things we dug about Warrior Soul. These guys were ours. Status quo is no place for our music. Outside societies fringes is where we were and it still is what we truly identify. We are older, have jobs we swore we’d never take. We have wives, ex-wives, homes in suburbs, mini vans, cabins and pretty much the same as our neighbors. All those years ago we didn’t want any more than just enough to get by. We were outside all day and night. The streets were ours. And now, we still feel that life, even if we can’t act that way. But we allow our kids to do a little of what we did. Warrior Soul was ours.
yep, also heard this song and went and got the record, introduced it to a few of my friends on LI, NY as a teen, we had our own little cult following. I think the major factor as to why they never got that popular was that they had an accessible , heavy rock sound yet the lyrics were about how decrepit of a situation that the world and our society was in and who was ultimately to blame. And you just can't have that. Undercut, undersold and undergound because of the content, sadly the masses weren't ready for a new revolution, they still aren't. Media children pacified...it's even worse now, people don't even like to hear human singing anymore..geez, it really is sad to see how it all came true but I'm glad the music survived and the holy children can still access the waters lonely, to get a taste of the days where rock culture died, we went down fighting.. This song (Downtown) was a bad ass song, it was pure Rock n Roll, yeah they were political but they could rock out and that's what originally drew me to the sound, the heart and soul. It's a beautiful moment captured in time forever, like a piece of prehistoric amber. I loved Warrior Soul - Last Decade was such a pivotal record for me, it shaped me growing up, all the songs will forever have a place in my heart.
This Band I remember when this song came out on Headbangers ball I always had to crank it up and sing along .Still to this day now 50 I still crank it up .
This is my favorite song on the record. I still can't figure out how a band this great and backed by David Geffen's bank account didn't become huge. They landed at the right time too. Just fuckin' strange.
I think had they went to Seattle instead of staying in New York and used Geffen backing to tour with Nirvana and Soundgarden and the Grunge band who they had much more in common with they would of done better, I would of been curious if Kory Clarke and Kurt Cobain would of gotten along, Kory was definitely more direct and outspoken but they seemed to both have similar values and were both pissed off yet sensitive artists too
@@cheapenstein When I bought DG&NR I remember there being a sticker on the CD that said "On tour with Public Enemy and Sisters of Mercy". That has to be the most strangely eclectic tour lineup I've ever seen in print. :)
@@jcw91371 oh man totally mismarketing at its finest, Last Decade was also delayed 2 years, I think had they gotten it out earlier before the whole Seattle scene exploded they may of had more time to gain a foothold, I love the debut but I would of loved if it had been recorded by whoever recorded Saigon Kick The Lizard or Water it would have given it less of a demo sound much more powerful but add some abrasiveness to keep the rawness, the guitar and drums on Saigon Kicks albums pack such a great punch, or maybe Steve Albini recording it
Me gusta mucho! Amo la música Hard Rock y Metal de los 90's. Pero no conocía a Esta banda. No sé como nunca la escuché en estos 30 años que llevo escuchando música pesada. siempre amare el Heavy-Rock !
I am 60 and was probably one of the 1st to thumbs up everyone of Warrior Souls videos...these guys ROCK
Three solid back-to-back albums from this band in the early 90s.
-Last Decade Dead Century
-Drugs, God and the New Republic
-Salutations from the Ghetto Nation
Wore these out in my tape deck. Could not believe they were not getting more attention. "Charlie's Out of Prison", "Love Destruction", "Drugs, God and the new republic", all incredible jams.
don't forget their album Space Age Playboys, a departure in sound but filled to the brim with energy
Chill Pill was as great
Your right it's all rite there
Me too. This was great palate cleanser when transitioning from 90s thrash into other genres.
I agree on those three of course. The Spaceage Playboys and Destroy the War Machine are killer too, and many great tunes on Stiff Middle Finger and Back on the Lash. Spaceage Playboys the band was awesome too. Along with a shoutout to Johnny Jetson and Tattooed Millionaires.

They never needed mainstream success that's why they still are awesome , first couple albums still play on my shit today , shine , dimension , golden shore , etc , I'm glad they didn't get ruined shame bout the drummer though , I've been playing music 30 years I love these guys
Veronica & Brent Campbell ya kory voice sound like shit though the rest of the band no were to be found he plays with brits that are way younger too bad he won't get other 2 to play john and Pete marks dead sadly
Yeah me too! Saw them in London last year in an intimate recording studio. Kory is still one of the best frontmen ever! Salutations is one of my fave with Space Age Playboys being a sheer adrenaline rush!!
Amen
I watched them on Headbangers Ball back early 90's and I went and bought there album that same week. I never did see them again being played on HB but I did have the VHS recording of that one show!
This band should have blown the doors off most bands back then. Just amazing! Who dropped the ball on this.GNR Soundgarden sound. No brains needed.
Loudest show I've ever been to. Toads Place in New Haven. Singer says turn it up with around 50 people in the joint. You could actually feel that volume raise. Just an amazing show.
That show rocked!
That's one of the best singers and lead guitar players in rock n roll
The guitarist is from Greendale, WI. A suburb of my home city of Milwaukee.
Fuckin aye !
What about the drummer 🥁 🤘🏻
Rip Mark and Pete.
Underrated band Underrated song 🤘WARRIOR SOUL🤘
Kory Clarke the real spokesman for the 90s who sadly was left in the shadows of Nirvana and the Seattle Grunge scene
The irony is that the attitude, a lot of the messages in the Warrior Soul songs, and a lot of the sounds Warrior Soul produced would have fit in well with the Seattle Grunge scene music -- which, actually, was quite varied.

That riff is a beast, sounds like something the mighty Motorhead would write!🤘
I fortunate enough to see 3 live shows.,...... to this day I still love them!!!!!!! Kinda glad they are ours!!!!
I was jonesing to hear this song, cool that someone else showed up here too after 3 years! I was working at a record store when this came out and played it in the store constantly, a great album and great tune.
Smells like Superpower Dreamland
Yeah they´re great and I also love John Ricco´s guitarplaying!
Nearly 30 years since I forgot about this video. Man, I went down memory lane!
I remember reading a Interview in german metal hamer, next day i bought the Album. Stil hearing
my friends brother played bass with some of these guys
In Detroit
another instance that life is not fair , these guys should have made it
if ya looked at headbangers ball when you were young ...this was on it ya gotta love it
When Music And MTV was awesome
I never got to see Warrior Soul live but I did get to see Kory Clarke sing with Trouble on their last tour. It was only the second show on the tour but it was awesome!
Saw them open for queensryche on the Empire tour....so fucking amazing!
Freaking great song 🤟 This reminds me of Motherlove Bone don't know why just get that vibe
Kory and Andrew do sound similar.
I wasn't even a heavy metal fan when my friend turned me onto these guys and even I saw the talent
I had this MV recorded in a VHS tape back in the 90's, recorded it from MTV.
Those were great days, i miss it badly.
Yes they were
I was hooked 1st time I heard them
but I know good music
I love this band. Normally, it’s Death Metal for me but I got turned on to Warrior Soul by a buddy during sone dark times and this band is special
Kory is a great song writer, a lot of his lyrics are pretty intense.
Rocky Dennis Don't think so. Even if he was would it matter shit two of the best singers ever are gay Freddie Mercury and Rob Halford.
sure gay boy
Heavy Metal Hitman face book \m/
remember when music like this was considered the "problem" now it's our "leaders" that are the "Problem"
finally found some comments on theses dudes dammm THERE FUKIN AMAZING!!!! been jammin this since it came out ROCK ON WARRIORS SOUL
Ran sound for these guys in the 90's. Such an Awesome Band! Bought the album that night. Love these guys!!
This song smacked me in the face when I first heard it. That's the way we live...downtown. You got a Marlboro? ❤❤❤❤

I got to see them live once at Studio 1 in Newark. Awesome band
I was in Atlanta for a convention and just happened to see in Creative Loafing that they were opening for Flotsam and Jetsam at Masquerade!
Has it been 30 years already??? Oh my, my.....where does time go? (2020) Excellent live band too.
What the fuck. That is the sickest song I've heard in years. Why have I never heard these guys before? The song gets better up to the end.
my younger friend turned me on to this band and others in turn me and my older brother turned him on to The Little River Band...the Universe wants to be in balance...it's not,but it wants to be
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Песня детства
only 7,000 listeners on Spotify, that is insane
one of the true mysteries in recorded music
Chill Pill is patchy but almost everything up until Space Age Playboys is either pure gold or verging on classic.
I'll never understand how this band is so underrated, but as some of you say they were perhaps black sheep, who never quite fitted into a scene and were lost between certain rises and falls of genres.
Hail Warrior Soul!!
I wish I could go back to the day I saw this on mtv headbanger’s ball 1993
Still in my regular rotation🤘
25 years ahead of their time.
+jason kranzberg yeah. This band releases this song in 2015 they are the rebirth of hard rock.
When I lived in NYC I worked out to this song and album. They rule
I'm already down town
I did for a nite or two when i booked them around upstate n.y. 20 + years ago. the next day i found "Warrior Soul" written in sharpy all over the house in the funniest places, bottom of ashtrays, side of med. cabnet etc. kept finding for mths. great memories!!
The only real band of NY.
Bass Player was from Detroit
That's how far they had to go
Biohazard, Agnosic Front, Shootys Groove... You need some culture bro.
@@unoefxz Carnivore, Type O Negative.....
One of my favorite bands of all time and hardly anyone I know have never heard of them.WHY!!!! They are like a huge chunk of gold that hasn't been discovered.They should have been a huge stadium show like Guns n Roses! WHY WASNT THEY??? I don't understand that at ALL!!
you are right sir shoulda been selling out arenas
my radical band was The RAMONES
I was told by a reliable source the Bass player was from Detroit,I hear a sound of the Motor City!
Love, love, love!!!! And Kory was in the top 5 singers of this era, and the hottest looking M'fer around. Miss The Cat Club, Miss The Scrap Bar, Miss Zone DK, The Wah Wah Hut, The Pyramid Club, Woody's, Spododee, The Marquee, Rock girl, Limelight......

This band deserved way more commercial success than what they got. Fuckin awesome music.

Sad that these guys didn't get the recognition that they deserved. Glad to hear that they came back. Looking forward to more.
Brilliant song...
