GlamMetal.com has issued an interview with WARRANT rhythm guitarist Erik Turner, conducted by Deb Rao. The following is an excerpt:

Q: Erik, first of all let me congratulate you on the release of Born Again. This is Warrant's first album since 1997. Tell me about the direction of the music on the new CD?

A: "Yes, it is the first all original record. There has been a bunch of stuff live records and re-recordings. It has been ten years since we put out Belly To Belly. It has all new original material on it. We are pretty proud of it."

Q: Tell me about the title? Does this symbolize the rebirth of the band?

A: "Yes, that is kind of where the title came from. We got a new singer. It kinds of feels like a fresh new beginning. It would be nice for our musical careers to be born again. It has that kind of double meaning. A lot of people think of Christianity, when they think of "Born Again". 80's rock being born again, that is where the title came from."
