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
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.
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.
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 '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.
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
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.
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
Warrior Soul Kicks GnR's ass imo. you'll get it when you get a grasp on reality! Look past the promotional BS & listen to the songs. Become 1 & you'll know!
I'm torn. Love the first Warrior Soul Album but GnR really kept hard rock going through the Grunge invasion. I do love Grunge but also love the early 90's metal. Axl makes me think of Aunt Jemima on Acid. I can appreciate the songs but sometimes wish he would just shut the **** up and get his voice out of the way.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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

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.
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!
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.
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.
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).
@@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.
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.
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!! 🤦♂️
Damn this video came out 26 years ago. I always loved this song and "The Losers". Didn't buy the album until a year or so ago. Too bad they weren't more popular.
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.
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 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.
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.
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!
I LOVE Warrior Soul! Could not find thier cd's in Tennessee...was so happy to move back out west where the great music can be found!! I did get a lot of TN people loving them though...who couldnt! :)
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.
Personally I love grunge but also loved the change in 'metal' that was happening at the same time. Warrior Soul Last Decade, Pantera Cowboys album, Annihilator, Suicidal Tendencies, Trouble, Forbidden etc. Grunge didn't screw up music the stations and labels did. There were fans ready for both and they beelined for the easy $$$$.
@@grumpygrump2639 The two genres should have been able to coexist, both in the charts and on the radio, but the industry killed metal and hard rock, the only survivors being Metallica (because they were so huge), AC/DC, and Pantera (who managed to adapt to the new sound and keep it metal. Total agreement that grunge didn't screw up music -- the industry did.
Warrior Soul, Saigon Kick, Mindfunk, Sven Gali, Metal Church and Circus of Power should have moved to Seattle in the early 90's they were all ahead of their time but displaced sadly and got overlooked, they all had the potential to have went down with the like of Nirvana, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden, should Warrior Soul have adapted to grunge? well that's a toss up, it probably would have gotten them more exposure, but I think being in Seattle alone would have gotten them noticed without having to sacrifice their sound,
the industry didn't know what to do with Warrior Sour or similar bands, Warrior Soul and the others should have toured with Nirvana or maybe even Rage Against The Machine or Downset, rather than Queensryche, somewhere they would have fit in better and been more accepted
i can agree the production over all sound is one of the drawbacks also this album was created in 1988 but delayed for 2 years so it was sort of stuck in the gap and sounded behind the times in some ways ahead in others like you said, which they fixed on their next album,, basically stuff like this is the bridge between 80's and 90's, the other thing that hurt Warrior Soul is their inconsistancy on the next two albums, if you combined the best songs on Drugs God And The New Republic, and Salutations From The Ghetto Nation, you'd have one GREAT album, instead of 2 really good but uneven albums
Brian Groves Ueah, but those bands were great to see in the underground, only certain people appreciate certain types of music, it's better than being huge, and being evil..Intensity is what I feel the 80's had, and now we lack that frequency.

i dont understand why this band never took off.this whole album was a masterpiece.still listen to it today
absolutely man...every time I listen to it, it's a time machine. Such awesome musicality.
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
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
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.
Kory told David Geffin of Geffin Records he was a asshole basically and Geffin got them blacklisted for a long time in America
if it weren't for RUclips I'd never know there were still Warrior soul fans. these guy never got the notoriety they diserved
they came at the end,,,,goodbye
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
One of my faves too. Saw them open for Queensryche in Long Beach '92
We are still out here, mine are on cassette tapes
Salutations from the ghetto nation brother! We are all over.
The first two albums are CLASSIC.
First three I would say. Salutations from the ghetto nation had some real amazing songs too.
@@magnusthimberg6836 Yeah. Awful production though.
This song, well the whole album really, actually ALL of their albums, should be played at a high volume, preferably in a residential neighbor!

This song is so criminally underrated...it hurts!
still listening to this band since 1990. Still as great as ever
Wish Corey could get that voice back.
I think they had a sound that bands today are playing and warrior soul did it 30 years ago...they deserved bigger success
Greg you are so right
Totally agree Gentlemans!!
Indeed. Amazing band.
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.
Yep, so True. It's October 2020 still jammimg to it !
I saw them at The Marquee Club May ‘90 and The Astoria London Dec ‘91 …. 🎸🤘
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.
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.
@@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.
One of the best bands in the early 90's . . . Along with Saigon Kick ;-)
good to see some others still remember Saigon Kick
Hell yeah!!! Florida native here, seen Saigon Kick at least 50 times, good to know people still rep SK after all these years.
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
Hell yeah, both were always rotating in my truck's player along with Love/Hate and Armored Saint
I couldn't agree more!!
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
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.

This record is a classic. Best thing they ever did. I love this record to this day.
Totally built a major chunk of my brain at 13, I listen to it and instant time travel. Love it.
Warrior Soul Kicks GnR's ass imo. you'll get it when you get a grasp on reality! Look past the promotional BS & listen to the songs. Become 1 & you'll know!
Disagree Dude, They are both badass.
Totally agree, GnR crap compared to the Mighty Soul!
Totally better than G'n'R as well as Nirvana.
I'm torn. Love the first Warrior Soul Album but GnR really kept hard rock going through the Grunge invasion. I do love Grunge but also love the early 90's metal. Axl makes me think of Aunt Jemima on Acid. I can appreciate the songs but sometimes wish he would just shut the **** up and get his voice out of the way.

MothaFunk'n 2020 Pandemic Music!!!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘 LOVE WARRIOR SOUL !!!!
Great band, super underrated.
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.
I still cry out! This song is still true today!
1 of my fav bands, sorely underrated
srw92831 Indeed!
Still. Gives. Me. Chills.
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.
stephen bennett because of lyrics that's why their were not big
they are still a band and tour
We havnt all died off. Still here enjoying your jams. ❤💋
You know, I forgot just how GREAT this music is! Love it. Last Decade Dead Century was one of my faves of all time.
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.
Kory Clarke should have been the spokesman for Generation X
I wish Warrior Soul had Toured with Nirvana instead, they fit in more with the culture and attitude of Seattle bands
I believe he is...
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...
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.
did love this band though, just saying.
And Kory is still rocking hard...the Soul are very much alive!!
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
Fuck this shit takes me back to when I had a loud as fuck home stereo and most of my hearing still
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
Warrior Soul always sounds new to me never fades away.
Criminally underrated band 🎸🎤🥁
so many ppl never knew about this band,this was my Fuck You album as a youth! lol : )
+Guy Man (evelskunny71) same here
I listened to this band in the 80_s...they kick ass!!
Saw them supporting Metallica at Wembley Arena in May 1990 and they were fantastic. Still love that album - nothing else quite like it.
Likewise awesome band then still are now should've been huge still my favourite band
Me too! Had never heard of them before and bought album that week.
On of my favorite songs of all time! Just jams dude is stacked with talent and the band was killer!
Heyyyyy lads thanjyou for that amazing night at the voodoo yous were so fuckin awesome abd thanjyou for the guitar picks rock on xxxxxxxoooooo
Waaay ahead of their time, I loved 'em back then... feels good to listen again. :)

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.
1990
Such a tragedy that they aren't more popular because this song is catchy as hell.
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…..”

that whole album was fuckin badass
Christopher Fish Indeed!
M A S T E R P I E C E!!
Damn this video came out 26 years ago. I always loved this song and "The Losers". Didn't buy the album until a year or so ago. Too bad they weren't more popular.

So fucking great - one of the best, so ahead of time, masterpiece!
Still ahead of it's time to this day IMNSHO
This band should of been more recognized...They are talented!
Saw this show in Detroit when they were touring this album. Good stuff!
Have not heard this song since 1990. One of my first CDs. Great song!
They were the last gasp of the New York rock scene
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.
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!
Saw them open for Queensryche in Baltimore on the Empire tour
damn i dont even remember them being relevant at that time
This came out just before the Seattle grunge scene became the in thing. I think the grunge crazed hurt this band's chances of being better known.
Ya n everybody was thinking they where from Seattle, fuck Seattle
Found and I will be jamming this often this point forward
What a GREAT BAND !!!!
(The frontman is kinda hot)
pɐs ǝupǝ Super hot!!!
Man, this takes me back over 30 yrs. Freakin' awesome!
I actually remember this song when it first came out !!
WARRIOR SOUL ORIGINAL GODFATHER OF GRUNGE!
The bridge in this song is great.
This album...as a late teen...hit me hard.
❤️❤️❤️🤟🤟🤟
I loved this band back in the day. Shared the bill with them on a few occasions. I wore this album out.
These guys were just a hair away from breaking it really big. Such a good band.
pkdiddy Pun intended?
Poor timing, poor promotion. So much better than the crappy hair metal that was dominating the scene.
Been Listening to these guys since the early 90's they rock no doubt about it.
Just superb, a band that deserved more recognition, loved them, Love/Hate and Claytown Troupe, all great live.
I had the chance to see them live here in Québec City hell of a show🤘🤘🤘
WARRIOR SOUL= The Best Music Of That Era. Thank God For RUclips. I Can Re-live Some Of My Youth. LOL
Love this song!
When Music was still real !!!
hydraIX true
WE STILL CRY OUT!!
been listening to yall for 30 years now...yall helped me sooo much...
I LOVE Warrior Soul! Could not find thier cd's in Tennessee...was so happy to move back out west where the great music can be found!! I did get a lot of TN people loving them though...who couldnt! :)
Great sound, & the lyrics have always made sense 🙏
Wish I would have seen these guys..This Album still Kicks Ass..Love it
blows away most of the music today
Ah, I love this song. I love they chime in together. Beautiful song. They really are good!!!
I saw this band open for Soundgarden at the Troc in Philly.
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.
I was like 16 when I first seen this on MTV's Headbanger's Ball ,!,,!,
This band was awesome.
and they are still playing to this day ! NEW music coming soon
Love this song. Totally forgot about this then somehow found it again. Love it!!
I loved where the whole groove rock metal thing was headded before grunge wrecked it all.
I couldn't agree more. Grunge f*+Ked Rock music up hate grunge then and still now.
Personally I love grunge but also loved the change in 'metal' that was happening at the same time. Warrior Soul Last Decade, Pantera Cowboys album, Annihilator, Suicidal Tendencies, Trouble, Forbidden etc. Grunge didn't screw up music the stations and labels did. There were fans ready for both and they beelined for the easy $$$$.
@@grumpygrump2639 The two genres should have been able to coexist, both in the charts and on the radio, but the industry killed metal and hard rock, the only survivors being Metallica (because they were so huge), AC/DC, and Pantera (who managed to adapt to the new sound and keep it metal. Total agreement that grunge didn't screw up music -- the industry did.
This band should have been way more famous than they were. Warrior Soul fukking rocks!!
Saw them support The Almighty in Dublin when they released space age playboy album great band to watch 🤟🤟👍👍
Damn, that would have been a great show. She destroys me, she destroys my soul....
I was 18 when this came out and hated the world so this album spoke to me.
Seen these guys with Bonham , Dio and Metallica in Hannover Germany in 1990 ! Helluva show ❤️
Warrior Soul, Saigon Kick, Mindfunk, Sven Gali, Metal Church and Circus of Power should have moved to Seattle in the early 90's they were all ahead of their time but displaced sadly and got overlooked, they all had the potential to have went down with the like of Nirvana, Alice In Chains and Soundgarden, should Warrior Soul have adapted to grunge? well that's a toss up, it probably would have gotten them more exposure, but I think being in Seattle alone would have gotten them noticed without having to sacrifice their sound,
the industry didn't know what to do with Warrior Sour or similar bands, Warrior Soul and the others should have toured with Nirvana or maybe even Rage Against The Machine or Downset, rather than Queensryche, somewhere they would have fit in better and been more accepted
i can agree the production over all sound is one of the drawbacks also this album was created in 1988 but delayed for 2 years so it was sort of stuck in the gap and sounded behind the times in some ways ahead in others like you said, which they fixed on their next album,, basically stuff like this is the bridge between 80's and 90's, the other thing that hurt Warrior Soul is their inconsistancy on the next two albums, if you combined the best songs on Drugs God And The New Republic, and Salutations From The Ghetto Nation, you'd have one GREAT album, instead of 2 really good but uneven albums
Brian Groves
Metal Church is from Aberdeen. They didn't need some bullshit scene to be legends.
Well, Sound Garden came out in the 80s. WS just didnt make it.
Brian Groves Ueah, but those bands were great to see in the underground, only certain people appreciate certain types of music, it's better than being huge, and being evil..Intensity is what I feel the 80's had, and now we lack that frequency.
Epic Epic Epic sounds.... There's so much creativity on this disc....So ahead of it's time! But so fresh and relative still to this day!
Rings true today....a blistering album
Top 5 CD of all time.
