Warrior Soul's 'Chinese Democracy' Due In October

Warrior Soul, the band fronted by legendary singer Kory Clarke, is the latest act to announce (jokingly or not) that it has selected "Chinese Democracy" — the name of the perennially delayed new Guns N' Roses LP — as the title of its new album. The CD will be available exclusively at shows on Warrior Soul's forthcoming U.S. tour, which begins on October 16 at the Double Door in Chicago, Illinois.

Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" will receive its retail release in January. UK fans will also have an opportunity to buy the album at shows during Warrior Soul's UK tour in December.

This is the first Warrior Soul studio album to include the new lineup featuring;

Kory Clarke - Vocals
Rille Lundell - Guitar
Johnny H - Guitar
Janne Jarvis - Bass
Rob "Stevo" Stephenson - Drums

Recorded and written over a five-week period in Stockholm, Sweden and in the UK, Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" was produced by Clarke, Lundell and Jarvis.

Stated Clarke: "I'm really proud of this album. It's been great to make another Warrior Soul record and this line up is the best I've ever had." He continued, "People have been waiting for a long time to hear this record and I'm thrilled to finally release 'Chinese Democracy'."

Co-producer and bassist Janne Jarvis had this to say: "This is an exciting, vital collection of songs. It's unadulterated and uncompromising. It is essential Warrior Soul."

Songtitles set to appear on Warrior Soul's "Chinese Democracy" include "Motor City", "Bad News (Rock 'n' Roll Boyfriend)", "Fuck The Pigs" and "No Respect".

Warrior Soul's current lineup has successfully toured Europe over the last two years and reports from both fans and media suggest that this is the band's strongest formation yet.

Video footage of Warrior Soul performing the song "Let's Get Wasted" at Ace of Clubs in New York City on May 31, 2008 can be viewed here. The show marked Warrior Soul's first American concert in twelve years.

Warrior Soul released a live album on April 14, 2008 through Livewire/Cargo Records. Entitled "Live In England", the CD was recorded in London during the band's October 2007 tour.

"Live In England" features many of the classic songs from the "Last Decade Dead Century", "Drugs, God And The New Republic", "Salutations From The Ghetto Nation", "Space Age Playboys" and "Chill Pill" albums as well as a brand new song entitled "Bad News (Rock 'n' Roll Boyfriend)".

Hahaha, TOO SLOW AXL

This was tried once by The Offspring and Axl sued them. The Offspring won the litigation so it will be interesting to see if Axl tries it again here.

the offspring was actually an april fools joke, they announced splinter as the real name the next day.

[pawnshopguitars]

Well it's all good. Axl's going to release the album on November 25th, or so I've heard, and that the negotiations with bestbuy are complete.

OH MY GOD I JUST SAW A FLYING PIG!!!!

"People have been waiting for a long time to hear this record and I'm thrilled to finally release 'Chinese Democracy'."

LMAO!!!! I honestly don't know if this was intentionally mocking Axl or if this is legitmate excitement for the new record on their part.....

[uberphreak]

That's hilarious.

It's what Axl deserves for making his fans (not me) wait 14 years for a goddamn album.

If Axl's forced to change the title...

Lulz will ensure.

[Skarson]

What was the exact wording on the whole Dr Pepper thing? Did they specifically say that they'd give out all the free Dr Peppers if AXL released Chinese Democracy, or just "if Chinese Democracy was released in 2008"? Warrior Soul might've got them on a technicality here.

[dethskar0]

^haha. Only problem is, the in-store release of this Chinese Democracy isn't until January 09.

[Aftertime]

lol thats funny

who cares Axl's not gonna do it anywayz :\

[Slash 555]

Lol. Axl must be pissed

Checked.

[Lamb of Deth]

lol this is the best chinese democracy news i've heard in years, and is it just me or does "Warrior Soul" sound more like a rap "band"?

[strat0blaster]

At least ONE album with the title Chinese Democracy will be released before I die.

[kranoscorp]

This is hilarious. Just imagine how much money people will make by mixing up the album title with the rea thing.

ALso, one of the songs is called "**** the pigs"? Are they TRYING to mess with us?

[Primus12]

HAHA ! I bet that got Axl's ginger braids in one hell of a twist !!

[scawti]

Actually, considering their song topics, it makes a lot more sense for a Warrior Soul CD to be called "Chinese Democracy" than a G n' R one.

[tim311mahoney]

there are going to be so many mistaken purchases with this record... i smell a lawsuit.

[Dio10101]

I want Chinese Democracy so bad. I've heard the leaks and its ****ing epic. I still love Axl and all of the band. Slash is awesome too though. And Duff. And Izzy, And Gilby. And Steve, And Matt. Paul Tobias sucks though.
