This song was written because the Critics and Haters in Mexico were calling The Warning Malinchista which is a word that mean that they are Traitor to their Mexican Culture because they only sang in English so in this song The Warning are telling those People to Shut Up because they don't know anything.
I scanned through the comments and only saw one other mention of it, but seriously, you guy would LOVE to see this song done with a guest drummer so Pau can come up front. As you might suspect, she is a natural frontwoman too, and she prances around like she owns the stage. It is a joy to see. I'll check in the morning. If someone hasn't posted the link, I'll find it. You need to see it, doctor's orders!!
Lesson #1 : Don't piss off Pau. 🤣🤘🤘 Teatro Metropolitan CDMX is newer, August 2022. The Warning have posted 7 songs from that show so far. You've done Animosity from that show, and 4 others you've heard the song.(Disciple, Choke, Dust to Dust, and Evolve). Only 2 you haven't heard at all yet. The Metallica Blacklist album version of Enter Sandman, and their other Spanish language song, Martirio.

Criticize me a little more I find myself entertained to hear Everything you say All your badmouthing Let me laugh a little more Because you don't know anything You run your mouth and don't shut up I cover my ears and I simply say Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Let me refute the list I'm not crazy or a malinchista Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na They say I am selfish Condemned narcisist I don't know what to do anymore I don't see the point of pretending I'm not trying any more Because I already know That behind the curtains they keep talking Their good intentions always come out lacking Don't believe that you're fooling me with that disguise Because you don't know anything You run your mouth and don't shut up I cover my ears and I simply say Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na Let me refute list I'm not crazy or a malinchista Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na They say I am selfish Condemned narcisist I'll refute the list again I'm not crazy or a malinchista Na na na na na na na na Na na na na na na na na They say I am selfish Condemned narcisist
Luthier Rick Toone "Spearfish" guitar. He gave Dany 2 of them, a blond and a sunburst. Aircraft grade aluminum neck extremely thin and lightning fast. Narcisista is their response to latins complaining that they write their songs in English.
That song was created for various haters since they were labeled as narcissists and malichists, which is a Mexican word used to refer to someone who doesn't love their country, something like that, that's why they wrote that song on Na na na ra na na na, it's like when you You cover your ears and start to sing so as not to hear others. That's the reference of that song, that's why it's very good and catchy.
I think it's a reference to the press criticizing them for just writing their songs in English and not in Spanish. In short it was saying "screw you" we'll write the way we want to but they said it's very difficult to write their songs in Spanish because there are so many syllables and words compare to English.That guitar is a custom made " Rick Toone" guitar which she has two. A black one and the one she's playing. They have an aluminum neck which is removable so she can use them as a carry-on for plane trips.
The mexican press is unanimous in recognizing the talent and quality of The Warning. The accusations and negative comments are mostly from frustrated musicians.
There is literally an interview where they are asked "why do they sing in English" and "don't they think that they would have more success already if they sang in Spanish". Maybe now there is more of a positive consensus about them, but they had a few pointed questions earlier in their career.
@@cissyiniguez That is not a criticism from the press. That's what they ask to all the mexican bands that sing in English, because none of them are successful and they disappear after a few years. And they are right, in Mexico and Latin America they would have been more successful years ago if they sang in Spanish. The Warning is probably the first mexican band in English that you have heard, and it's not because they were the first, but because they are the only ones that have managed to succeed.
*Fun Facts:* Durning Dany's guitar solo. Pau broke a stick. Just before Pau started resuming her singing. You can tell by Pau's silhouette. She was reaching for another stick. *Narcisista* song is a polite middle finger to the Mexico critics. Who have stated The Warning are ashamed of their heritage since they released only songs in English. This song quieted those critics. *Martirio* have proven those critics wrong. There's a Mexico/Spanish slang word in the song. It's *Malichista* which means a person who is ashamed of their heritage. There are a few *Narcisista* English videos on the UA-cam. *Other Topic:* The jam group Phish. The guitarist & bass players did jump on those small singular trampolines while playing live. That was back in the 2000's when they started.
Damn I though you would catch Pau switching her stick right after the guitar solo. I guess that this is how smooth she is about it, that even musicians can miss it. 😀
The guitar riff where you were hearing the bass doubling the guitar is actually an effects patch that Dany is using where it is playing the lower octave as well as paying the natural note, which makes it sound really full. Add to that Ale's bass and you get a nice fat bottom groove.
They've just put up the video of their performance of this song from the Teatro Metropolitan show in which Pau´s drum teacher plays the drums so that she can come out front of the stage to sing the song. It´s incredible.
This song has so many great elements to it, definitely a fan favorite! Saw a fan vid of The Warning playing Narcisista in Berlin, and yes you can see a Mexican band singing in Spanish to a (mostly I assume) German crowd AND the crowd was singing it back to them. Maybe we all can get along together...
In any translated lyrics you look at, you will find one untranslated word: Malinchista. This is a key word in the song. If you run a search on it, you will find it is an insult term specific to Mexico and nowhere else. It is based on the name of a native Nahua woman, La Malinche, who contributed to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire -- look up her Wikipedia entry if you want to know more. It is a term used against cultural traitors who prefer foreign ways over that of Mexico. Similar to calling someone "unamerican", only moreso. Critics called The Warning malinchistas for writing and performing songs in English. Needless to say, they were more than a little angry about this, as Pau makes abundantly clear in this performance.
...and to make sure, none of their crtitics could misunderstood their message, they wrote the words in big letters on the screen in the back. Fearless as we know them.
To this day they (TW) go a bit harder onstage when they play this song. It really resonates with Spanish speaking audiences but is well received by English speakers as well, as many have learned the song at least phonetically. Lately TW have been playing their 2 Spanish language songs back to back in their set list (Martirio being the other). Martirio is best described as a cross between a rock anthem and a power ballad. It’s absolutely beautiful. It’s a song I’d recommend to watch the live performance and the OMV to catch the full effect of the song. If the ladies weren’t so classy, they could have included other certain hand gestures directed at the critics…lol
Way to go guys, this is a great song and they did it as a clap back to critics who called them cultural traitors for not playing their songs in Spanish. Keep doing The Warning.
There's something about this specific version of this song that gives me a super 70s vibe. Just the look of the 3 of them on the stage and the way she pounds those drums, it's very early punk rock looking and sounding.
I want to request The Warning “ Shattered Hearts” live from 2020 at the whiskey . This particular recording and performance I believe has the best break down of any warning song to date . Also there is a very special treat at the end courtesy of Pau. Btw you guys new stuff is spectacular, great songs .
NARCISISTA : Un tema de rock duro, de TW contra la critica por cantar en ingles ,el primer tema en español ,Pau interpreta este tema y toca la bateria al mismo tiempo, cuantos bateristas pueden hacer esto, excelente solo de Dany y una base de bajo de Ale maravillosa
Awesome analysis guys. This is Pau giving a big middle finger to people criticizing them for not writing and singing in Spanish basically. This song is still a huge fan favorite. I'm looking forward to the Teatro Metropolitan series, Woohoo! You guys are awesome... ,
" MALINCHE " was the name of a Mexican woman who, more than 500 years ago sided with the conquistadores from Spain against her own people, therefore the term " Malinchista ". I think that should've been the real name of the song, but, probably the girls thought it was a bit much...😎
The guitar is custom made by Luthier Rick Toone and is called a “Spearfish”. Dany has two of them. Not sure if she gave one to a Patreon or not. I believe she did.
I asked D in 2021 to purchase one at a fair price as she has two "Spearfish". NOPE ! She told me all of her guitars hold too much sentimental value to part with any of them. 🤘😆
From what I understand, the first one she had was loaned to her by Rick Toone and she used it in the studio and on tour in 2017-2018, I believe. I could be wrong, so please, someone with better knowledge of it, please correct me. Then it was signed by the band and Rick Toone sold it for nearly $20,000. I think she got another 2 since, if she indeed still has the original or another Swamp Ash sunburst version (I thought she only had the one), including the white one (Moby Dick). She also used a Rick Toone Conquistador and another 22 fret Rick Toone guitar in the studio recording "Error". Very Sadly, we have not seen her Rick Toone guitars since she became a PRS artist. I personally think the Rick Toone guitars sound better and are better suited to "The Warning sound".
Great reaction! The Teatro Metropolitan CDMX songs are the best recordings of The Warning. It's from 2022 and the mix is amazing. You won't be disappointed.
Yeah guys, please do the series - back in time: anything live at Dakota Bar (where they play their first album and EP) AND live at Teatro Metropolitan (pro quality video and sound)
If you guys want to check out this song by yourselves, there are some really cool versions of it. My favorites are the lives in all the Latin countries, as the fans go absolutely bonkers for this one. While they are always energetic with their participation, and most sing along in English to the rest of the set list, this one really stands out! Argentina, Spain, Columbia, Peru, and of course Mexico. I guess you could include southern TX in that too. LOL 🤘⚡🤘
Thanks Chris & Sam! Great reaction! The Mexican history comment probably refers to the word "malinchista". If you Google translate it will tell you it means "melancholy" but that's not how Pau is using it in this song. She's referring to La Malinche who was a local Nahua woman in the early 1500's who actually worked for the Spanish conquistador Cortés thus helping a foreign army to conquer the Aztec Empire. Today Mexicans use it (usually derogatively) to refer to someone who values a foreign culture over their own, which some critics have accused The Warning of, since up to this song they always sang in English. Very clever lyrics indeed!
❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 you got the gist of it it is a classy frak off to the critics in Mexico who didn't like them doing songs in English another reason not to get Paulina mad at you she will write a killer song to take you down ;)
I wouldn't normally suggest this, but I say come right back to this song for the next reaction. This was the last show of their tour opening for Halestorm, and the last two shows Arejay Hale came out to play drums on this song and allow Pau to go out front on the stage. I think it speaks very highly of TW when members of the headlining band want to join the support band on stage. In their next tour supporting Three Days Grace not only did they invite Dany on stage to sing with them on Painkiller, Barry joined them for a few shows to play guitar on Choke and let Dany run around stage more freely. Here's a video of the Tucson show with Arejay - ua-cam.com/video/H1P6xuMIcwY/v-deo.html
The Tucson show was fantastic. I caught them in both Phoenix and Tucson with Halestorm, and the Tucson show was all-out because it was the last show of the tour.
Why was La Malinche important? La Malinche - Wikipedia 1500 - c. 1529), more popularly known as La Malinche [la maˈlintʃe], a Nahua woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast, became known for contributing to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519-1521), by acting as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. Malinchista is an insult meaning culture traitor
Well, seems the rest of the gang here gave a pretty good explanation of what this song is about, so I'll work on some of the others details.. I dunno if anyone else mentioned it, but they showed the lyrics to their Mom, and she laughed because the context was off quite a bit, so she helped them rewrite it a bit, so it made more sense in Spanish, which is kind of funny, since they SPEAK Spanish! Narcisista (Nar-si-sees-ta) is a real ear-worm of a song, even if you *don't* speak Spanish, and is definitely a crowd favorite! It was kind of hilarious that when they did this in Madrid, Spain, I'm sure they were probably holding their breath a bit, about how the crowd would react, considering the early Spanish conquistadors were the invading army at that time.😮 Yet, the crowd took the humor in stride, and the reaction was just over the top!!😂 The whole Madrid concert was over the top, and it was like one big sing-along from start to finish! They knew every word of every song The Warning did, and weren't afraid to sing along! This may be a good one for an extended reaction some time, and there are several good fan videos out there to pick from.😄 Thanks you guys for starting my day off right with another great review!😍♬♬ 🤘😎🤘
Narcisista is special for most Warning fans. Not only for it being an acerbic retort to critics but also for those few occasions when Pau comes out from behind her drums to be the front woman. Here she is from that landmark concert at Teatro Metropolitan on 29th August 2022. This is a fan recorded video. I am waiting for the pro shot clip to be released just like they have done for Animosity, Choke, Enter Sandman, Disciple, Money, Martirio & Dust to Dust hitherto. You can react to all those in that order. ua-cam.com/video/vJbRkFDetUA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ErickAlderete Beto Ramos is Pau's drum teacher, seen here playing the drums. A tribute from a student to her master, if you like. He was also involved with production of More.
I can't wait for the pro shot clip!! Another great performance of Narcisista is when Arejay Hale guest played the drums for Pau, but again the vids I've seen are from fans.
Yes, as was stated earlier. The guitar Dani is playing is a Rick Toone. "Spearfish" the neck is billet aluminum (the neck is removable for travel) and can be taken as carry-on on planes. $16,500. Gifted two. Pages to be good.😊 The Na,Na,Na. Is Like sticking your fingers your your ears because you are not listening to someone (critics, in this case).
Great reaction video. I do appreciate your insights as musicians into The Warning's sound. And it's cool that your opinions are informed by experience. TW definitely have a sound all of their own, thanks for explaining what makes it so. Quick history lesson. (No claims as to this being definitive or even particularly accurate.) But other people have mentioned the origin of the name Malichista. The reason the Aztec Empire was overthrown by a few hundred Spainards armed with only marginally better than mediaval technology, was that the subjects of the Aztec Empire rose up against it the first chance they got. The Conquistardors were, even by the standards of the time, a bunch of bastards, but the Aztec Empire was built on slavery and human sacrifice. History and a county's cultural identity can be messy subjects. Anyway thanks for the vid, bust of luck to Offset Era!
Yes, there are two guitars playing on this, and many of The Warning's songs as they make no secret to using backing tracks when necessary. That is no secret and it is a Captain Obvious moment on your part. Ale' played a 4 string bass from the beginning up until 2020. Since this performance was from 2019 it is a given that she was on one of the 2 Spector Euro-4 basses that were gifted to her by a fellow bassist. It was around mid-2020 when she was first seen using a 5 string on the song Dull Knives (cut better). She was then presented a custom built (to her specifications) Spector bass from Spector US later in 2020 as a new (and youngest) member of the Spector family. Dany's guitar in this performance is a Rick Tune design with the unique head stock and tapered fret pattern.

A scathing rebuke of their Mexican critics that had accused the band of being “Malinchista” a Mexican term used to call out cultural traitors, because the group has only recorded English language songs. Well this song is in Spanish and it is full of attitude and angst fired toward those critics. The song was released in June of 2019 and performed live for the first time in Monterrey Mx at the Foro Didi and has become a show staple ever since. The reception of the song in Mexico, Central and South America has been overwelmingly positive as with non Spanish speaking regions around the world.
Nice reaction guys! FUN FACT: This is the first song (of two) that is in Spanish and because they were unaccustomed to writing a rock song in Spanish they enlisted their mother to help to make sure it made sense. 2nd/3rd FUN FACT: This was the first time it was performed as well as it's only available as a single. Check out a live from 2020 at The Whiskey A Go Go, the best version of the song "Shattered Heart". Also, keep watching to the end for a special surprise! ua-cam.com/video/QgaUuSoSxOw/v-deo.html
Watch this version, where Pau's teacher Beto Ramos sat in for Pau, letting her front the band. Sound isn't as good, since this is a fan vid, but it's so much fun: ua-cam.com/video/fhVeToCXX_4/v-deo.html. They've done this before; Arejay Hale sat in for Pau last fall a few times when they were touring together, and their guitar tech, Cachi (who's actually a drummer, but he understands guitars very well), also did a few months ago: ua-cam.com/video/-fet1xP_3Fw/v-deo.html As others have discussed, this is a diss song. It isn't the only one they've written. Animosity was about a falling out of a friendship with Pau, allegedly because she declined a sleepover party with some friends because they were playing the next day; the following school day, the erstwhile friend said that the band would never amount to anything. Unmendable is allegedly about a problem with a recording label, and I believe Fade Away was about people dismissing Pau. The sneering, mocking tone of this song is evident in the "na na na na na na na na", but the guitar tone is very expressive in that regard also. Dany is a true master of that aspect of electric guitar playing.
It’s calling out critics for being narcissists in a nutshell but if you don’t understand Spanish just look it up I guess. Lol translation won’t be perfect but
I’ll give you the chorus: because you don’t know anything, run your mouth(essentially) and you don’t shut up or stop (basically saying you keep running your mouth and never seize to stop) I just cover my ears and Simply say let me recite the list (now their saying everything they say about them that their not ) I’m not insane nor a malincista (hard to translate essentially cultural washed like white washed sorta but more so like you perfer america and English over your own culture essentially but it’s a Mexican term specifically ) it’s a slang term so it’s very difficult to translate(y’all can help in the comments please I have friends from mexico but im italiana) You say that I am egotistic condemned (I guess best translation like I’ve been condemned) a narcissist.
A kind soul has put subtitles for those of us who don't speak Spanish. This explains Pau's single handed theatrics during certain verses of the song. Narcisista, the word, has the feminine aspect to it with the suffix "ista". A man would be a narcisist. ua-cam.com/video/6Ay4RqhQB0I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RandomMusic%40TheWarning How many 16 year olds have the courage to stand up to her critics with an acerbic riposte like Narcisista instead of cowering down? Fed up with constant criticism for singing in English, Pau came up with this angry retort. Her mother asked the girls to tone it down when they showed the 1st draft for grammar check. That is why Pau is saying "No soy loca na Malinchista" or "Neither am I mad nor Malinchista". And herein comes the history part that one commentator had talked about earlier. Malinchista is a Mexican term for a traitor, a cultural turncoat who prefers alien culture to own roots. Malinche was an Aztec / Nahua woman who got friendly with the Spanish invaders & facilitated the conquest of Mexico. A treacherous soul to some. Ah, the delicious irony of time when a packed house in Madrid sang these same lines with Pau a few weeks earlier. The conquered have become the conqueror now!!!

👍 Good reaction. 🖖 ❤
Dany had two of those guitars from Luthier Rick Toone, one of them was autographed by the band and sold 6 years ago for about $17k dollars.
Think she still has the other as it was used to record Enter Sandman and ERROR
@@edwasintx Yes, you are correct, she still has one of them, and you can bet she's never gonna get rid of that one haha.

Yes! A series of the Teatro Metropolitan videos is a GREAT idea!
I want to request The Warning “ Shattered Hearts” live from 2020 at the whiskey . This particular recording and performance I believe has the best break down of any warning song to date . Also there is a very special treat at the end courtesy of Pau. Btw you guys new stuff is spectacular, great songs .
Special treat? More like deadly weapon LOL
NARCISISTA : Un tema de rock duro, de TW contra la critica por cantar en ingles ,el primer tema en español ,Pau interpreta este tema y toca la bateria al mismo tiempo, cuantos bateristas pueden hacer esto, excelente solo de Dany y una base de bajo de Ale maravillosa
Awesome reaction. As usual.🤘🤘
Awesome analysis guys. This is Pau giving a big middle finger to people criticizing them for not writing and singing in Spanish basically. This song is still a huge fan favorite. I'm looking forward to the Teatro Metropolitan series, Woohoo! You guys are awesome...
,
" MALINCHE " was the name of a Mexican woman who, more than 500 years ago sided with the conquistadores from Spain against her own people, therefore the term " Malinchista ". I think that should've been the real name of the song, but, probably the girls thought it was a bit much...😎
thank you.. great info
This song is Paus response to criticism that they sing their songs in English
The guitar is custom made by Luthier Rick Toone and is called a “Spearfish”. Dany has two of them. Not sure if she gave one to a Patreon or not. I believe she did.
I asked D in 2021 to purchase one at a fair price as she has two "Spearfish".
NOPE !
She told me all of her guitars hold too much sentimental value to part with any of them.
🤘😆
@@jimijamessegoviafeerick1355 how in the world you ask an artist to buy one of her/his instruments? jeez!
I googled Rick Toone's web site......the going price for a Spearfish is $13,000!
From what I understand, the first one she had was loaned to her by Rick Toone and she used it in the studio and on tour in 2017-2018, I believe. I could be wrong, so please, someone with better knowledge of it, please correct me. Then it was signed by the band and Rick Toone sold it for nearly $20,000. I think she got another 2 since, if she indeed still has the original or another Swamp Ash sunburst version (I thought she only had the one), including the white one (Moby Dick). She also used a Rick Toone Conquistador and another 22 fret Rick Toone guitar in the studio recording "Error". Very Sadly, we have not seen her Rick Toone guitars since she became a PRS artist. I personally think the Rick Toone guitars sound better and are better suited to "The Warning sound".
@@krash66 I totally agree
Great reaction! The Teatro Metropolitan CDMX songs are the best recordings of The Warning. It's from 2022 and the mix is amazing. You won't be disappointed.
Great reaction! Thank you. Esperando por todo lo de The Warning. Gracias
Yeah guys, please do the series - back in time: anything live at Dakota Bar (where they play their first album and EP) AND live at Teatro Metropolitan (pro quality video and sound)
If you guys want to check out this song by yourselves, there are some really cool versions of it. My favorites are the lives in all the Latin countries, as the fans go absolutely bonkers for this one. While they are always energetic with their participation, and most sing along in English to the rest of the set list, this one really stands out! Argentina, Spain, Columbia, Peru, and of course Mexico. I guess you could include southern TX in that too. LOL 🤘⚡🤘
⚡✌️🤟⚠️⚡ Rock On TW Army!⚡✌️🤟⚠️⚡
Best song
Thanks Chris & Sam! Great reaction! The Mexican history comment probably refers to the word "malinchista". If you Google translate it will tell you it means "melancholy" but that's not how Pau is using it in this song. She's referring to La Malinche who was a local Nahua woman in the early 1500's who actually worked for the Spanish conquistador Cortés thus helping a foreign army to conquer the Aztec Empire. Today Mexicans use it (usually derogatively) to refer to someone who values a foreign culture over their own, which some critics have accused The Warning of, since up to this song they always sang in English. Very clever lyrics indeed!
Thanks! I didn't know about the origins of the word nor the story of La Malinche.
❤🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘 you got the gist of it it is a classy frak off to the critics in Mexico who didn't like them doing songs in English another reason not to get Paulina mad at you she will write a killer song to take you down ;)
I wouldn't normally suggest this, but I say come right back to this song for the next reaction. This was the last show of their tour opening for Halestorm, and the last two shows Arejay Hale came out to play drums on this song and allow Pau to go out front on the stage. I think it speaks very highly of TW when members of the headlining band want to join the support band on stage. In their next tour supporting Three Days Grace not only did they invite Dany on stage to sing with them on Painkiller, Barry joined them for a few shows to play guitar on Choke and let Dany run around stage more freely. Here's a video of the Tucson show with Arejay - ua-cam.com/video/H1P6xuMIcwY/v-deo.html
That was a great version but I like the new one at Teatro better with Beto on drums better because I think Pau's performance is better
The Tucson show was fantastic. I caught them in both Phoenix and Tucson with Halestorm, and the Tucson show was all-out because it was the last show of the tour.
Why was La Malinche important?
La Malinche - Wikipedia
1500 - c. 1529), more popularly known as La Malinche [la maˈlintʃe], a Nahua woman from the Mexican Gulf Coast, became known for contributing to the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire (1519-1521), by acting as an interpreter, advisor, and intermediary for the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. Malinchista is an insult meaning culture traitor
Well, seems the rest of the gang here gave a pretty good explanation of what this song is about, so I'll work on some of the others details.. I dunno if anyone else mentioned it, but they showed the lyrics to their Mom, and she laughed because the context was off quite a bit, so she helped them rewrite it a bit, so it made more sense in Spanish, which is kind of funny, since they SPEAK Spanish! Narcisista (Nar-si-sees-ta) is a real ear-worm of a song, even if you *don't* speak Spanish, and is definitely a crowd favorite! It was kind of hilarious that when they did this in Madrid, Spain, I'm sure they were probably holding their breath a bit, about how the crowd would react, considering the early Spanish conquistadors were the invading army at that time.😮 Yet, the crowd took the humor in stride, and the reaction was just over the top!!😂
The whole Madrid concert was over the top, and it was like one big sing-along from start to finish! They knew every word of every song The Warning did, and weren't afraid to sing along! This may be a good one for an extended reaction some time, and there are several good fan videos out there to pick from.😄 Thanks you guys for starting my day off right with another great review!😍♬♬ 🤘😎🤘
As others have said this was a big F you to their critics who complained they were writing in English and not Spanish.
Don't have to know Spanish to figure out that Pau is pi$$ed when puts down that drum stick and waves her finger/hand. And what a beat!
Narcisista is special for most Warning fans. Not only for it being an acerbic retort to critics but also for those few occasions when Pau comes out from behind her drums to be the front woman. Here she is from that landmark concert at Teatro Metropolitan on 29th August 2022.
This is a fan recorded video. I am waiting for the pro shot clip to be released just like they have done for Animosity, Choke, Enter Sandman, Disciple, Money, Martirio & Dust to Dust hitherto. You can react to all those in that order.
ua-cam.com/video/vJbRkFDetUA/v-deo.html&ab_channel=ErickAlderete
Beto Ramos is Pau's drum teacher, seen here playing the drums. A tribute from a student to her master, if you like. He was also involved with production of More.
I can't wait for the pro shot clip!! Another great performance of Narcisista is when Arejay Hale guest played the drums for Pau, but again the vids I've seen are from fans.
Yes, as was stated earlier. The guitar Dani is playing is a Rick Toone. "Spearfish" the neck is billet aluminum (the neck is removable for travel) and can be taken as carry-on on planes.
$16,500. Gifted two. Pages to be good.😊
The Na,Na,Na. Is Like sticking your fingers your your ears because you are not listening to someone (critics, in this case).
Great reaction video. I do appreciate your insights as musicians into The Warning's sound. And it's cool that your opinions are informed by experience. TW definitely have a sound all of their own, thanks for explaining what makes it so.
Quick history lesson. (No claims as to this being definitive or even particularly accurate.) But other people have mentioned the origin of the name Malichista. The reason the Aztec Empire was overthrown by a few hundred Spainards armed with only marginally better than mediaval technology, was that the subjects of the Aztec Empire rose up against it the first chance they got. The Conquistardors were, even by the standards of the time, a bunch of bastards, but the Aztec Empire was built on slavery and human sacrifice. History and a county's cultural identity can be messy subjects.
Anyway thanks for the vid, bust of luck to Offset Era!
Great reaction guys. I suggest Survive live at TEDX, even the complete performance of 3 songs, its amazing!!!
Definitivamente
🔥🤘🏼
Great reaction guys! Really fun😅
New Teatro performance with Pau out from behind the drums worth one of her drum 'teachers'filling in 😉
Yes, there are two guitars playing on this, and many of The Warning's songs as they make no secret to using backing tracks when necessary. That is no secret and it is a Captain Obvious moment on your part. Ale' played a 4 string bass from the beginning up until 2020. Since this performance was from 2019 it is a given that she was on one of the 2 Spector Euro-4 basses that were gifted to her by a fellow bassist. It was around mid-2020 when she was first seen using a 5 string on the song Dull Knives (cut better). She was then presented a custom built (to her specifications) Spector bass from Spector US later in 2020 as a new (and youngest) member of the Spector family. Dany's guitar in this performance is a Rick Tune design with the unique head stock and tapered fret pattern.
English translation:
They say they have to pray for me
So worried but I do not see
That they are praying so much
It's not for much
Quit your judging already
Stay away from me
Please!
Criticize me a little more
I find myself entertained to hear
Everything you say
All your badmouthing
Let me laugh a little more
Because you don't know anything
You run your mouth and don't shut up
I cover my ears and
I simply say
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Let me refute the list
I'm not crazy or a malinchista
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
They say I am selfish
Condemned narcisist
I don't know what to do anymore
I don't see the point of pretending
I'm not trying any more
Because I already know
That behind the curtains they keep talking
Their good intentions always come out lacking
Don't believe that you're fooling me with that disguise
Because you don't know anything
You run your mouth and don't shut up
I cover my ears and
I simply say
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Let me refute list
I'm not crazy or a malinchista
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
They say I am selfish
Condemned narcisist
I'll refute the list again
I'm not crazy or a malinchista
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
They say I am selfish
Condemned narcisist
From Genius:
Narcisista. A scathing rebuke of their Mexican critics that had accused the band of being “Malinchista” a Mexican term used to call out cultural traitors, because the group has only recorded English language songs. Well this song is in Spanish and it is full of attitude and angst fired toward those critics. The song was released in June of 2019 and performed live for the first time in Monterrey Mx at the Foro Didi and has become a show staple ever since. The reception of the song in Mexico, Central and South America has been overwelmingly positive as with non Spanish speaking regions around the world.
Dany's guitar at that time was a Rick Toone Spearfish!
Now you'll be react to Narcisista at Teatro Metropolitan is fantastic, epic version them in live. Saludos from Argentina.
BANDOTAAA!....HUUUGGEEE sound!
Hey Guys! Please react to the cover of Atlas Rise (Metallica) live from the Whiskey 2020 concert. Thanks!
🤘🤘⚡⚡
🤘🔥💯
From QOTMS you can go back in time to XXI Century Blood or you can go forward to Error. I'll be here for any of it.
Nice reaction guys! FUN FACT: This is the first song (of two) that is in Spanish and because they were unaccustomed to writing a rock song in Spanish they enlisted their mother to help to make sure it made sense. 2nd/3rd FUN FACT: This was the first time it was performed as well as it's only available as a single. Check out a live from 2020 at The Whiskey A Go Go, the best version of the song "Shattered Heart". Also, keep watching to the end for a special surprise! ua-cam.com/video/QgaUuSoSxOw/v-deo.html
therse something spellbinding about the tone of all 3 voices, its like crack cocaine
🙋⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥
Calvo , sabes como muere el pez. Por la bocas
Just a base for the critics who criticize who criticized for making the music in English and not in Spanish
this is what happens when you piss Pau, you get a big middle finger/FU song for the ages
Watch this version, where Pau's teacher Beto Ramos sat in for Pau, letting her front the band. Sound isn't as good, since this is a fan vid, but it's so much fun: ua-cam.com/video/fhVeToCXX_4/v-deo.html. They've done this before; Arejay Hale sat in for Pau last fall a few times when they were touring together, and their guitar tech, Cachi (who's actually a drummer, but he understands guitars very well), also did a few months ago: ua-cam.com/video/-fet1xP_3Fw/v-deo.html
As others have discussed, this is a diss song. It isn't the only one they've written. Animosity was about a falling out of a friendship with Pau, allegedly because she declined a sleepover party with some friends because they were playing the next day; the following school day, the erstwhile friend said that the band would never amount to anything. Unmendable is allegedly about a problem with a recording label, and I believe Fade Away was about people dismissing Pau. The sneering, mocking tone of this song is evident in the "na na na na na na na na", but the guitar tone is very expressive in that regard also. Dany is a true master of that aspect of electric guitar playing.
👍🏼
I🖤TW🤘
Great reaction guys but you should react to this song during the Teatro Metropolitan concert. It is definitely better and performed differently.
They're criticizing the people specially men who criticized them for being a girl band
It’s calling out critics for being narcissists in a nutshell but if you don’t understand Spanish just look it up I guess. Lol translation won’t be perfect but
I’ll give you the chorus:
because you don’t know anything,
run your mouth(essentially) and you don’t shut up or stop (basically saying you keep running your mouth and never seize to stop) I just cover my ears and Simply say let me recite the list (now their saying everything they say about them that their not ) I’m not insane nor a malincista (hard to translate essentially cultural washed like white washed sorta but more so like you perfer america and English over your own culture essentially but it’s a Mexican term specifically ) it’s a slang term so it’s very difficult to translate(y’all can help in the comments please I have friends from mexico but im italiana)
You say that I am egotistic condemned (I guess best translation like I’ve been condemned) a narcissist.
Would like you guys to react to 70s all Girl Rock Band Fanny and i wonder if the Warning know who they are?
The Warning got to meet the founder of Fanny in L.A.
Seriously? After 5 minutes of talking about that this is a song in spanish you still try to butcher "Narcisista" so hard it made me cringe...
A kind soul has put subtitles for those of us who don't speak Spanish. This explains Pau's single handed theatrics during certain verses of the song. Narcisista, the word, has the feminine aspect to it with the suffix "ista". A man would be a narcisist.
ua-cam.com/video/6Ay4RqhQB0I/v-deo.html&ab_channel=RandomMusic%40TheWarning
How many 16 year olds have the courage to stand up to her critics with an acerbic riposte like Narcisista instead of cowering down? Fed up with constant criticism for singing in English, Pau came up with this angry retort. Her mother asked the girls to tone it down when they showed the 1st draft for grammar check.
That is why Pau is saying "No soy loca na Malinchista" or "Neither am I mad nor Malinchista". And herein comes the history part that one commentator had talked about earlier. Malinchista is a Mexican term for a traitor, a cultural turncoat who prefers alien culture to own roots. Malinche was an Aztec / Nahua woman who got friendly with the Spanish invaders & facilitated the conquest of Mexico. A treacherous soul to some.
Ah, the delicious irony of time when a packed house in Madrid sang these same lines with Pau a few weeks earlier. The conquered have become the conqueror now!!!
