I've seen him (as in, sitting near the sound board) twice. It blows my mind how he just sets up, even if they weren't given the opportunity for a full "sound check"... and will just lean back with his hands behind his head and watch the show. Occasionally he might make a small tweak. But that's about it - there's no frantic thrashing about you might see with other bands. He knows all the songs, and knows the capabilities of whatever system he's working, whether it be the venue's or their own. It's absolutely amazing!!!
Playing live is their thing. This video is really good, and Dany's belt near the end brings tears and chills. And it's even better in the live version. We can feel it deeper.
They did tell Producer David Bendeth that they wanted to capture their sound playing live on the Error album. They came away after recording the album, feeling that the finished product is closest to their desires.
My guess is that Bendeth probably had Dany's leads a little higher in the mix before it was sent to master. What can happen is when it goes to mastering, the entire song gets compressed to even out all the instruments. Being a guitarist myself, I want that lead to scream and obviously Lalo does too in their live performances.
They try to not do things in the studio that they can't do onstage. I remember seeing one big-name band in the 1970s that did a miserable job live vs. studio. The Warning is _better_ live than studio because you get all of their high-energy and stage presence. I had to dodge out of the way once because Dany jumped up on a speaker stand that I was leaning on.
@solarvanlife8177 Of course I do. How's this for starters? The sisters are all excellent musicians and performers or their performance at Pol'and'Rock was truly exceptional or how about QOTMS is one of the very best concept albums out there. Is THAT enough praise for you or would like more (no pun indended)? Cos I have more. Like I said, I criticise when it is warranted. Likewise I praise when it's warranted.
I think they won't need to wait 5 years to headline festivals. More like 2 or 3. By the way, at Pol'And'Rock they did not even know that they were practically headlining the giant festival. The organizers had talked about them in Polish media as one of the highlights of the festival which officially had no headliners.
Mine too! And that says a lot because I frigging love everything they've ever done. Number two spot belongs to the song Ugh. And then about twenty songs tied for third place.
@brianbowes1978 If I really put some thought to it, I could probably list all their songs in order of preference but Martirio would still be a clear favourite.
@davidrees4218 not an easy task. Just too much excellence. But I can rank their albums easily: QOTMS, KMF, Error, XXI Century Blood. And what's really surprising about that is that XXI Century Blood is an amazing album and it's in last place!
@@davidrees4218 I never tire of praising them so this conversation will continue until I have the last word 😔. Haha. Nice you QOTMS in the top spot. I think there is really extra special about that album, even though their technical skills have obviously improved since then. Just so much emotional power. Plus I'm a horror movie junkie so this is right up my street.
This video was recorded in the desert outside of their hometown, Monterrey. They were there all day. It was windy as hell making it uncomfortable for them because of all the blowing grit that was getting into their eyes and their clothes. It was 45 degrees C (113 F) which didn’t help. And they were fighting off random wasp attacks. The tent stature was erected to protect them and their instrument from the blowing grit but the wind shredded the fabric stretched over the frame in very short order. It looks cool, but it was problemic for the to doge the sheet as it whipped around, especially where Pau was playing.
Can’t argue with anything you said here. I think this song at the Pepsi Centre show is pretty close to perfection, though the ones at the shows I was at were pretty close!!! I don’t like to wish time away, but roll on April!!!
The first thing I notice when I listen to the original recordings is how Dany's voice sounds so different. I’m not sure if it’s due to filters, compression, or whatever they do, but I definitely enjoy her voice more live. As for the instruments, there are also changes in the mix, and in that aspect, there are times I prefer how they sound in the original recording and other times how they sound live. The girls' dad was a sound engineer and has a very clear idea of the sound he expects from the band in a concert; Lalo Plaza mentioned this in an interview.
Dany has also made tremendous progress vocally in the past two-three years. She was good from the start, but it’s getting more and more effortless, and she’s got a box of tricks in her throat that she can pull out at will. On the songs recorded for Error and the previous albums, it just becomes more obvious when you compare to recent lives. She must have a pretty good voice coach, also considering how many gigs they play, where she’s always cranked up to 11.
@@thomasalbrecht5914 I agree with what you're saying. I remember a Spanish interview where she mentioned receiving advice on correcting bad habits she had while playing the guitar, which led to hand pain, as well as tips on taking care of and developing her voice. What I was trying to say is that, in studio recordings, her voice, although it sounds good, feels very "processed" compared to her live voice, which, in my opinion, sounds much better even with any imperfections it might have.
@@deamonlite I think both play a part. Yes, her voice continues to get stronger and more accomplished. But they also like to hear new things in studio when recording. I remember in one interview Anton saying he really had to hold them back when it came to using effects and filters while recording Keep Me Fed. They are still young, and inquisitive. Every time they work with a new producer they are like kids in a candy shop with all the toys they have for recording. And I think that is great. Let them experiment. Let them explore. Let them have fun. We know it's going to be big and sound amazing when they play it live.
The OMV and studio is just a warm up for what they do live. They take what they've made and take it to another level when they have to perform it. ❤️⚡🤘 Loved it!
I once read a comment (and I'm sorry I can't give proper attribution), that succinctly put the best way to understand _The Warning_ . It went something like this: "Most bands strive to reproduce their studio sound when live on stage. _The Warning_ does precisely the opposite... and often fails." We fans like to quip "Live is their super-power", and that's true... but rarely mentioned is the _reason_ it is true. The reason is, they are a *live band* first and foremost. In-studio recording is almost an afterthought. They live to feed and be fed off the energy of a live performance; it's quite literally what keeps them going. ⚡🤘⚡
They write music in a way that is better suitable for live performance, I think when they write they are thinking in their fans in a concert enviroment, so naturally their music is for life performances.
I think her voice is also more powerful than it was when they recorded it. The big jump (en-TU martirio) sounds a bit shrill here, but the added power of her contemporary voice makes it more passionate. Regardless, an incredible song.
Yes, the studio and live versions hit differently, but I think the key take-away from that, is that they both do hit. For me, the studio version sounds great when I am in a certain mood. Other times nothing scratches the itch better than the live version. Though, for me, personally, the Teatro Metropolitan performance is the one I go to. It holds more emotional weight for me. They were younger. They were overwhelmed by the crowd and emotions. Pau almost breaks down crying behind the drums while Dany is feeding so much on the crowd she pushes too far on the wail and cracks. For me, that flaw brings more beauty to the performance. More emotion.
Agreed about the guitar volume in the mix, live versus studio. The guitar is louder live no doubt. Technically the studio version has proper balance and everything else - David Bendeth knows what he's doing to say the least. But live it should be more exciting, and the live mix does that. It's a great song, killer in stadiums, and it becomes like an anthem at the end.
The Warning is better sonically on live recordings, but don't sleep on the videos. They are frequently very well done, from a visual and narrative point of view.
Studio songs from Error are great and totally comparable to live. Studio versions of Keep Me Fed are way too poppy - the live versions are all better, more powerful. HYCAD is the perfect example.
The sound engineer they travel with, Lalo, is a freaking genius at getting their sound correct no matter the venue!!
I've seen him (as in, sitting near the sound board) twice.

This makes me even more excited to see them in April! 😁🤘
They went against that with Sharks then! With it's obviously tracked drums and vocals

Yes, they will headline arenas some day, maybe Taylor Swift could open for them.
I am sure the Swifties would love that 😉
Oh hell yeah....way more talent right here!!!! MHO, a whole lot less than 5 years or "some day".
Maybe Dany can gift Taylor a Gibson Explorer!🤘🎸
