WARRIOR SOUL New Album -

WARRIOR SOUL Frontman KORY CLARKE On New Album - "I'm Not Changing The Title For All The Democracy In China!"

WARRIOR SOUL / TROUBLE frontman Kory Clarke is featured in a new interview conducted by Rock N Roll Experience. Following is and excerpt from the discussion:

Q: Warrior Soul did have a big underground fanbase, right?

Kory: "Underground, Smunderground...it's like, I've gotta make money, I have to buy these (lifts his beer), and also food, and so I don't give a shit, of course. I love the people that love my band, but the way Axl (Rose) fucked me over and Geffen (Records) with Bryn Bridenthal - this is all coming out in my book, by the way - Bryn Bridenthal fucked me up the ass, she worked publicity for Geffen and she is a fucking c**t! You tell her from me, if I ever see her I'm gonna kick her teeth out, I'm gonna leave it at that. She ruined my career."

Q: How?

Kory: "She did Axl's bidding. Axl didn't want me anywhere near his front."

Q: Why?

Kory: "What do you mean why?"

Q: I mean, Axl is Axl, you were not a threat to him.

Kory: "Apparently. I didn't think so, but he doesn't have enough. He doesn't have enough money, he doesn't have enough fame, he doesn't have enough anything."

Q: So is that why you are calling the new Warrior Soul record Chinese Democracy?

Kory: "No, it's because I watched the Olympics and I felt that it would be a very nice idea to say that, and I'm not changing the title of that album for all the democracy in China!"

WARRIOR SOUL Re-Record Chinese Democracy

WARRIOR SOUL has issued the following update:

"We are making the first copies of Chinese Democracy available to pre-order.

We want Warrior Soul fans who are unable to attend our fall/winter shows in the US/UK to have a chance to buy Chinese Democracy before this limited edition record sells out, which we can assure you it will. More info on how to pre-order your copy will appear on MySpace soon.

Last week we (WS) came to the conclusion that our new album didn't sound 100% like we wanted it to. Therefore we have decided to re-record pretty much the whole album. It sounded too much like an ass licking whore. It was too polished, too 'produced' if you will. We wanted to create something more honest, more true to life, something vital. This is something we feel is sorely missing from music today. This record should be a visceral thrill. We think we've achieved just that. Of course you and only you will be the ones to pass the final judgement. The media will not share this record before you.

The good news is that, due to our 'one take' policy, we can stick to our release date which is still October 16th.

The first pressing of Chinese Democracy will be a very limited edition digipack CD including tracks like 'Motor City', 'Don't Believe', 'Fuck The Pigs', 'Bad News (Rock n Roll Boyfriend)' and 'The Fourth Reich'. Clips will be posted on MySpace very soon.

The release date and party is set for October 16th and takes place in Chicago on the first date of our US tour.

For those who can't get enough there's an interview with Kory (Clarke), in which he talks about his new role in TROUBLE, Warrior Soul and the art of rock and roll, is posted here.

Please join us as we lay waste to the USA.
