I do not think that is fair. If you are some simple reactor that just plays music and say you like it, sure. But you do so much more to add value and also support the artists. Silly to demonetise you. Shows bad judgement.
@@rolandkarlsson7072thank you. I have given up trying to dispute copyright claims (even though I’ve been led to believe that, legally, what I often do falls under educational and fair use). Every claim I’ve disputed on these grounds has always been rejected, with no reason given. And the disputed claims are judged by the people that claim them in the first place, so I fail to see how that’s an impartial ruling. I have been told that there are other channels that do similar content to mine who have managed to monetise their videos via disputing these claims. Thus far it continues to elude me. Therefore I must rely on patrons and donations for my time and effort instead. Thank you for your comment.
The Warning literally has a whole thread devoted to UA-cam reactions on their own patreon. So they are more sympathetic than most. They are a gen Z band after all, so they understand the importance of social media. But maybe their record company are the ones claiming.
@@JWSoundworks2 It is probably harder to dispute since you played the whole song without pause., if the video was all breakdown it would maybe be ok... maybe only show a small part of your first listen and see if that makes a difference.
That's bizarre as so many people have been able to share this concert in full or in part. They had just signed a record deal (IIRC) with Lava before this but they've always been super generous with allowing fans to use their content in the past and I felt certain this was likewise protected 'from being protected'. Anyways, great great reaction and analysis.
Excellent first reaction!! So glad you noticed the chord!! The songwriting and arrangement and production is phenomenal. Their stage presence is so engaging! My favorite band at present. These young ladies kick butt!❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤
The drummer's name is Pau (POW!) and she is also the bands primary songwriter, beginning most of their songs on piano before turning them into bangers like this. She's a bit of a phenom.
What drew me to The Warning was their throwback old school rock sound. Mixed with elements of punk, pop, grunge, even some metal, they create a sound that is familiar but unique. I actually left the house to go see them live, the first show I had been to in 40 years!
@@baxbax1763 No it was late last year. Pau visited the MD facility in south Florida when they opened for GNR in Hollywood FL. She did an interview and got to play a bit on Alex Van Halen's and Neil Peart's kits.
Alejandra, bass, is their nuclear weapon. Trained in classical piano, like the others, she took up her instrument at age 7, and is also schooled in jazz fusion. She has metronome timing and perfect pitch.
Jinjer army here. These girls are my favorite rock band. They're bringing back that deep sound and energy that rock has been missing. They just cracked the top 40 with S!ck.
JINJER army here too and I agree, these girls are throwing us back to rock and roll with elements from all over the genre. I’ve noticed their fan base has a huge age range like myself I’m almost 60 and I can see why now…
The Warning Army isn't ominous lol, you've already experienced the Nightwish Army, same concept. Welcome in. Daniela (Dany) on Guitar is 24 today, Paulina (Pau pronounced Pow) is now 22, and Alejandra (Ale) is 19. Dany sings lead on most songs, Pau sings lead on some. Ale will sing lead if needed, when Dany is sick or needs a break, but no designated lead vocal songs, she prefers the backing vocals. Love this song as an intro because you get all 3 with lead parts (the 2 3 Go is Ale's line). They have opened for Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Guns'N'Roses, Halestorm, 3 Days Grace and one of their favorite bands, Muse. Lzzy Hale was so impressed when she first heard them, that she insisted on getting The Warning on tour with them. This Teatro concert was in August, after having toured all summer with Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless. The PRS( custom 24-08) is her baby, but has been gifted guitars, an Explorer from Lzzy Hale, and a Manson from Muse's Matt Bellamy. If you're interested in their equipment, all 3 sisters have done gear masters episodes, posted on 'digital tour bus'. They do use backing tracks, and run the show on the laptop with Ableton. Those are also mentioned in Pau's episode. Dany and Ale talk a little about tunings as well. Their straight cover of Metallica's Enter Sandman, at ages 14 12 and 9, was posted for family and friends, and went viral. Metallica saw it, Kirk said that the drummer kicks maximum a$$. September 2023 they gave up 1 of 2 dates opening for G'N'R, to play at the mtv music awards. Check out those videos, "Evolve" and "More". And again, hope you had a Happy Birthday, and congrats on the new house.
The only thing I can add (and I think the story is) that Alessia Cara (a Canadian pop singer) was asked by Metallica to cover Enter Sandman for the Blacklist album. Alessia wasn't fully comfortable covering a metal song on her own and asked The Warning to do it with her. They arranged and recorded it in a week. They still play Enter Sandman at their own shows and if you'd like to see how they do it now, you should watch the version from the same show as Disciple.
@@reaper_fbb7052 Reaper is right. And it would be great if you analyzed how they did their rendition. It is definitely Enter Sandman and yet, so different at the same time. From what I have heard and believe, they opened it up to create space for Alessia Cara’s vocals, moved things around but retained the chord structures and made it more haunting and powerful at the same time. Certainly one of the best remakes (not really even a cover) of a song I’ve heard in a very long time.
This band of sisters has been so exciting! Im a younger person and my dad actually turned me on to them and now im addicted! More, Evoke and Sick are just some some of there songs that kick ass! I never knew that I would like Rock so much! There edgy and in your face! Thx to reacting to them! Your a cool guy and I enjoyed your reaction!
At 19-22 and 24 years old, their 4th album is dropping singles, a working band for over 10 years. When they put out XXI century blood, with several masterpieces, Ale was in 4th grade.
(not to say JW missed it) It amuses me how many reactors will say "She sings so well while playing" and "That was a great drum fill" but somehow that massive fill while singing has yet to be pointed out singularly; This isn't to say that people don't notice, but nobody has been explicit about it. If Pau had 2 more arms and 2 more legs she could play 8 instruments.
@@Biomirth True. But to be honest, it took me a couple of times to notice and appreciate it fully as well. First couple of times I was just loving the song as a whole, and how it punches you in the face. Not to mention focusing on the video or stage performance as well. It's a lot to take in. I feel that really good songs or performances make you discover more details the more you listen. And since drummer lead singers is so rare, maybe it could take even pros a while to really register what the heck that is actually happening. For an amateur like me, even more so.
@@niclasvestman Absolutely. I think 'that fill' happens at a point exactly when the brain is processing everything that just came before it. It's like the video of people not noticing the gorilla in the room.
The Warning reaction bingo... Wha...sisters? Whaaa...how old? Wha...Mexican? What...a singing drummer? Wha...they sound how good live? Wha...those harmonies? What...the future of Rock?... Fuckin A they are House! From UK North Ops Command...The Warning Army...we salute your reaction.
My favorite band of the last 30 years. I have not had one day go by in the last 5 years without having one of their songs stuck in my head at some point of the day. Becoming a Warning fan has become a lifestyle for lots of people I talked to through the years. They have also inspired my creativity for things I haven't done in years. Not one song out of their 3 albums and one EP of 6 songs that I don't like. Hope you enjoy your journey. They have their fourth album coming out this year and two new singles Friday.
Being a musician you might be interested in 3 videos posted recently from the UA-cam channel Digital Tour Bus, where each of them shows their live rig rundown. I sure would be interested in hearing your thoughts about it. Dany explains in her video how she gets that big sound even though their are a 3 piece.
They have been described as a (mostly) hard rock band with pop sensibilities, in that they know how to write very catchy riffs, hooks and harmonies. Agree with your assessment that while their music seems simple at first, their musical choices and song construction is actually pretty sophisticated. Enjoyed your reaction and analysis! 😎👍
Welcome, Thanks for checking out The Warning. My hope for you is, I hope these young ladies bring you happiness. Being a part of The Warning community makes me a better person everyday... That's all I've got... Have an excellent day..🤘🎶☮️
You made a reference to the diner scene in "Pulp Fiction", where she states "every last one of you mfers.." As the rest here will inform you, that you have no idea how On the Mark you are. Watch Pau's breakdown on "Evolve" specifically the VMA award show version. She reached a unique level on that one.
For this Aug 2022 concert they was 17-19-21. They was 15-17-19 when they recorded this song off their 3rd full LP ERROR, but 1st LP under the Label Lava. The mainstream industry platforms call them ALT Rock. They do not know them like TWA does. I consider them Hard Rock, sprinkled with every other Genre out there. Classically trained Pianist's, they dabble and dip their toes into everything. They use click tracks, and some small amounts of backing tracks for instruments they played and recorded themselves. I only know of one song they use them for vocals, and that's from a guest singer on their Re-imagined Enter Sandman song with Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara that is on the 30th Anniversary Blacklist LP. Pau uses Midi Pedals to start & stop any track used, and why the laptop is on her side. Their first 3 albums they made their studio work mimic their live performances as best they could. When you hear them play Live, you know the songs from the studio versions, and can sing along head bang, & jump in time........every time. Playing Live is their Super Power. Check out more from that same concert. 22 songs in total!
Never heard of this band, but I'm excited they are from Mexico, since I'm in the States. Maybe I'll have a better chance of seeing them in concert! I wouldn't have heard of them without you reacting to them, John, so thanks very much. Hope you're well! Here's some liquid energy for ya- ☕️ Also, that chord progression you've heard before sounds a lot like 38 Special's Hold On Loosely to me. I'm showing my age. 😊
I'm sure you will, they tour the states a lot, and they are doing some big festivals. But you will have to wait until after their European tour. They are also doing some festivals here and I am seeing them headline in London (UK) in April. Second time for me. We had to wait many years before they came to this side of the pond, so a second European tour in 2 years is massive for us!
@@jen43072 Aww that's a shame, the Spanish crowds go hard, especially for Spanish speaking bands! Will be a great atmosphere I'm sure. But no need to worry. They are signed to a US record label. So they will do a lot of US gigs. As you haven't heard of this band before, you should check out the whole cdmx concert on their page. They just released a new song called Sick, the video is very cool. Also look in to their acoustic stuff. And Dani doing covers in her 'midnight sessions' Their album before this one was called Queen of the murder Scene. It's a concept album about a female killer and her descent in to madness. It's crazy they wrote it as teenagers. Also they have a lot of behind the scenes and documentaries on their page. They are really sweet people, it's hard not to fall in love with them. The rabbit hole is deep, lots to enjoy.
They've announced they will be at a few festivals this fall (Louder Than Life and Aftershock) in the states. I would expect a few tour dates around those as well.
You are about to be flooded with comments and information. There is a deep rabbit hole here. Almost everything they have done since inception as a band is out there to see on video. Early covers from their basement studio nicknamed The Warning Cave. Early performances at their school with both covers and their original music from their first EP. Clips of them at Berkeley School of Music in 2015. In which Ale and Pau had to get exceptions to attend due to their young age. Which they shot audition videos at a school concert. Their 2016 and 2017 TEDx performances at the University of Neveda, Other videos of them performing material from their first full album XXI Century Blood (2017) and their second album Queen of the Murder Scene. A concept album they released in 2018 and performed live several times before the pandemic shut everything down.
These sisters have always written with an eye to playing live. They also have utilized many of the audio techniques from past years, like panning the guitar left and right while using a delay and octave pedal to differentiate the sound coming from each side. Dany does enjoy taking her vocal to unusual places as well. They certainly do have a very Sabbath sound imo. Although the ladies are not reinventing anything, they certainly are refreshing a tired rock genre.
They also pull inspiration from a ton of genres. They listen to a lot of music and use what they like. Rock, punk, j-pop, etc. One of the reasons their songs have so much variety.
Dany does run a harmonizer set at an octave lower. Paullina runs the backing tracks and all video. Really like hearing a musician break down the song. Everyone has opinions and lots of reactions and those are cool, but I really enjoy the musician break down.
The drummer Pau, pronounced “Pow”, is the primary lyricist and she just won Drumeo’s award for Rock Drummer of the year. Pau writes the melodies on piano and brings them to her sisters to flesh the songs out as a band. They all were trained in classical music on piano at a very young age.
Their manager, Rudy Joffroy, once observed that in the real world they're just typical sisters who pick on each other mercilessly. But when they step on stage in front of an audience, they instantly transform into consummate professional musicians. That was the reason he accepted the job as their manager.
Welcome to The Warning! I really hope you continue with this amazing band, the have a very deep catalog fo great songs for you to check out! I have always enjoyed your reactions! The Warning Army will be here for it!
Great power trio of a band that has actually been playing live at least 10 years and actual touring in the last 5 or so. They have all the chops and are definitely worth checking out further.
They do use tracks for some parts, but other reasons for Dany's fat guitar sound she has explained in some gear videos. FIrst off, she often likes to use a octave pedal. Also she will split the signal with a delay to two different amps, to make it sound bigger.
Heed `The Warning'!!! (Their cover of 'Enter Sandman' may be the best cover of an epic classic rock song, ever!!) Their entire discography, to date, is immaculately conceived! They are, IMHO ... "The Best Hard Rock Power Trio of the 21st Century"🦉🤟⚡🪨🍩👍⚠💥
They are a great live band that has opened for Muse, Halestorm, Guns and Roses, Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace and The Foo Fighters. They covered Enter Sandman for the Metallica Blacklist album. Lzzy Hale gifted Dany a Gibson Explorer and Matt Bellamy of Muse gave her custom Manson. Pau was named The Drumeo Rock Drummer of the year for 2023. They have 3 albums, 2 EPs and 3 singles out, and 2 new singles will be released Friday. They will be playing Wacken Open Air 2024 and a second European tour. And they are only 24, 22, and 19. Any song from the Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022 concert would be a great next step; I love Animosity and for an acoustic sound try Revenant. Have fun learning more about The Warning. Thank you. TWA DPA ⚡🤘🔥
They are so sweet in person, they have documented their whole life on Utube and Patreon and interacted with fans since they were very young. I think that you will find that most long time fans love them more as people than as musicians, performers and composers ( you just saw how good they are) and if you do decide to dig into thier evolution you will likely feel the same way.
Daniela "Dany" 24 guitar lead singer, Piano Paulina "Pau" 22 Drums, lead singer (about 10 songs), Backing vocals, Piano Alejandra "Ale" 19 Bass, backing vocals, Piano Welcome to the rabbit hole of the warning 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico Trained from a young age in classical piano they founded the group in 2013 due to the game musical 'the rock-band' They will be noticed in 2014 following the release on UA-cam of the song Enter sandman of Metallica (originally intended for their grandparents to see their progress !! ) They have released 3 albums ( 2 independent XXI st century blood in 2017 and Queen of the Murder Scene, concept album in 2018) They signed with Lava/Republic records mid-2020, following a negotiation of 7 months.

You've been Warned !!!!
LIke you I became obsessed with Jinjer and I love this band for many of the same reasons even thought they are stylistically completely different. Both are three piece (instrumental) and use vocals and interesting mix of meter, chord progression and tension to fill out the sound. I think the thing that I love the most is their passion for the music (same for Jinjer). Best bands I've heard in years (i'm over 60 and a former jazz snob)
Been a while since I have seen any of your videos. First came across your channel (perhaps an older one?) with your discovery of Nightwish. Welcome to The Warning. Three sisters from Monterey Mexico who started playing together when they were children and who have now been making great hard music for more than a decade. With three studio albums, several live concert videos, and a new album on the way, we think there is plenty of material for you to choose from. This three-piece is: Daniela (Dany, 24yo, guitar) Paulina (Pau, as in POW-er, 22yo, drums) Alejandra (Ale, pronounced AH-lay, 19yo, bass) All three sisters sing and all are classically trained on piano. As you can see, live is their magic sauce. They put out hella noise for only three people. The Warning have a sound that is both new and familiar. It is certainly hard rock, but clearly influenced by their love of classic rock, metal, punk, K-pop, indie, grunge, funk, and many other genres including classical music. But they have taken those influences and forged a sound that is uniquely their own, and you know that it is them. At the same time simple and complex. What does it sound like to me? Refreshing. A sound that has caught my ear and made me interested in rock again after 25+ years of the same old playlist. While together their combined ages are about the same as mine, their musical maturity is exceptionally high. Need another suggestion? From The Warning’s UA-cam page you might choose from: - MORE or EVOLVE from the MTV VMAs - CHOKE, ANIMOSITY, 23, or any other song from this 2022 show at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX (aka Mexico City) - The official music video for XXI CENTURY BLOOD - SURVIVE from their 2017 TedX talk - The official music video for their new release S!CK There are really no bad choices. They are something special live. Their energy, charisma, and musicality really shine when in front of an audience. In the past two years I have flown all over North America and seen them 7 times. Can’t wait for the chance to travel and see them again. The only other band I have traveled like this for in more than 40 years of concert going was Rush.
Also in August last year before their show in Chicago, all three of them filmed gear rundown videos with Digital Tour Bus. With your background, you might enjoy looking at those as well
That strange E-chord divides the chorus into 2 very different parts with the second part only becoming possible due to that surprising chord, since the second part starts on A. I guess it was that tritone chord that made me a fan when I first heard the song.
I really enjoyed your thoughtful and informative reaction and analysis. I very much like that you didn't try to combine the reaction with the analysis as so many reactors try to do, which becomes a jumbled mess more often than not. 👍
TWA is very devoted. Ask the farthest we have traveled to see them live. Great reaction. Even their first test songs they wrote are good. Ale (bassist) was in 4th grade when thy recorded their first album. 10 years of great music.
Awsome that you finally discovered these Talented sisters I have always enjoyed your analysis of bands, eventho I am not a musician It does enhance my appreciation for what I am listening to.
Excellent breakdown! First time I've seen a reactor figure out the guitar parts on the spot for this song. Great technical explanation of what's going on musically, and going over their chord and note choices. I know Dany uses a harmonizer and octave pedal on her Kemper profiler, but not sure exactly what she uses on this song. So she could be playing some octaves, or the pedalboard is doing it. I see @concept226 has already provided the link to her gear breakdown if that interests you.
Very enjoyable analysis/reaction. Hope to see more reactions to my favorite band. It's always a nice bonus when the reactor is also a musician. Peace! 🤘
The Warning is a once in a generation phenomenon. I flew down from Portland Oregon with my daughter to see them live over 2 months ago in Tijuana where they started with Disciple. Ale’s bass kicked me in the chest and knocked me over, then Pau beat me over the head with her drums and then Dany finished me off by slaying me with her guitar and vocals. Once you go down The Warning rabbit hole there's no way out, like Black Holes (which is one of my favorite songs of theirs).🤘⚡
I think you may be right about Dany using that lower 5th, because the PRS she's playing is in E standard tuning, per her DTB gear rundown video. She does use drop D for some songs, but the lion's share of their music is in E standard. Aside from their musical prowess, they also have spines of steel when it comes to their artistic integrity. They were approached at a very young age by the likes of Disney, who thought they were dumb kids who could be strong armed into questionable contracts and then dressed up in a corporate-tailored image. One smug scout asked them if they'd rather play in front of 12 people, or 12,000, to which Pau (Paulina) replied that they would rather play the music they love in front of 12 people than play music they hate in front of 12,000. They did eventually sign with Lava Records, but only after months of negotiations that resulted in a contract allowing them to maintain creative control. That commitment to being true to themselves and their artistry resonates with their fans, and it'll be a key ingredient to keeping them relevant far into the future.
Adding to the DTB bit, she also uses an octave pedal to fill out their sound. I've also noticed that when she's soloing and Ale is mimicking the rhythm, Pau uses her floor toms quite often to fill in the low end. Not all the time, but often enough that it stands out as a bit of that sophistication he mentioned in their writing. It's a big part of why they don't sound like a typical trio.
Glad to see you got around to The Warning. I have always enjoyed your break downs of songs, even though I am not much of a musician myself I appreciate the demosntrations and analysis of how the songs come together. Not as intricate as a lot of band you react to, but they are great at what they do and add exactly what they need to the song. Not many solo's, as you pointed out a lot of the intricacy is in the vocal melodies and harmonies and the bands super power is really in the vocals and harmony (familial voices have that unique way of blending). But they are all very competent on their instruments and all trained in classical piano. Pau (the drummer) comes up with the basic chords and melodies for most of the songs on the piano. They each have a quick gear run down on the 'Digital Tour Bus' channel. The videos are fairly short, but they give you a feel for the bands professionalism and each sisters individual personality. This is Dani's video - ua-cam.com/video/kMPWxinxmoI/v-deo.html
Enjoyed your reaction, but really enjoyed your analysis of the song. The Warning is one of my favorite rock bands at the moment, and an absolute "breath of fresh air" in the genre. All three of them are obviously talented musicians, but what really makes them special is their vocals (especially their vocal harmonies) and their top-tier songwriting. It was really interesting to me hearing you point out all the really smart songwriting choices they made throughout this song.
Great reaction. Your analysis is on point. Very well done. Be prepared The Warning Army is coming to flood your comment section. Guaranteed. These talented young ladies are about to conquer the world. You got here just in time. If you don’t believe me, ask Matt Bellamy. He’s the one that personally invited them to open for Muse on their last tour of the UK and France. You will very much enjoy going down this rabbit hole. I suggest Evolve live from the MTV VMAs. Strap in and don’t forget to turn it up. As all Warning fans say, “You have been Warned!”
They use backing tracks, but primarily for instruments they don’t have on stage, piano,etc. they use split signals with harmonizers and octave dividers to thicken and faten up their sound. They run over the specifics on their tech videos. The reason the come off so tight and professional sounding is due to having been a performing as a band for 10 years. The Bassist Ale, pronounced Al-Lay or by many fans as Al- Lee, was 9 years old when she started with the band and playing Festivals by 11.
Nicely put. First reviwer that used the word "sophisticated" . Probably the most accurate descritption of their music. The bass is a Spector down tuned. That's why it sounds like a thunderstorm moving in.
Thanks so much for that great musical breakdown. I'm strictly an amateur so it's great to hear. Like you, I've followed King Crimson and Opeth for decades (Let's not get into how old I was when I bought my first King Crimson record but Robert still had a full beard.) It would be fantastic to hear you explore more from these amazing sisters. I really believe they will revitalize rock and have a huge impact on the music scene in the coming years. I will be watching to see where you go from here.
They have been touring for 10 years as group. The guitarist, Dany, and the drummer, Pau (Pow), have been playing piano at age 6. I am not sure when the bass, Ale (Aleh) started playing piano, but she started young. They are sisters from Monterey, Mexico.
🤘🏽Discovered your channel with Jinjer, and stayed for The Warning. My 2 favourite recent bands and surprised at how many other commenters have expressed the same - very different but both are infectious.🤘🏽
Great breakdown. These ladies are masterful songwriters. On the surface their songs seem simple, but they work in sneaky variations & catchy little hooks to engage the listener. On top of that, their musicianship is top notch & their vocal harmonies are the cherry on top. Agreed (after seeing them myself) that they even sound better live - and their energy & intensity is contagious. These ladies are the real deal. Subbed for more The Warning content & will check out the rest of your work as you seem to be great at this. Thanks!
great work and reaction, welcome to the warning world, and for sure the songs has not the complex structure of the king crimson and others but these girls at that age ,they bring us again the love for rock and roll, straight and pure rock and they write all their songs
Hi! If you do another reaction to The Warning, whatever one would be really enjoyable to listen to and analyse, but I guess DUST TO DUST will blow you away. ❤
Great reaction! Absolutel EPIC live performance!! They write very dark and deep lyrics. Awesome! These sisters are the best power trio of XXI century! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
Some react just for the cash (but you have to pay for the equipment, right?). Their reactions are usually short and sweet, and those of us from TWA are still happy to "like and subscribe" because we have a passion for this band! You, Sir, kept me to the end, and though I can't play a lick on any instrument, I loved your song breakdown and reference to "old bands" as to the "flavors" of their song writing. Stuck around for the whole thing, and that doesn't happen much for most reactors! Can't wait for another reaction to our lovely Ladies of The Warning
I would really love to see you do an analysis of their song Martirio. This song is in Spanish. I've played several instruments in my years, but I'm not adept at picking up on composition and structure like you. Since I first heard Martirio I have always felt that it is one of their best musically crafted songs, even though I don't understand Spanish. I would enjoy hearing your breakdown. I believe they did Martirio at the Metropolitan theater as well and there is a very stunning music video - both are great. Cheers.
I really enjoyed your reaction! You have a ton of talent and the way you look at music is really cool! My dad actually turned me on to the sisters and im so glad he did! More , Evoke and Sick are some of my favorite songs now! Will check out more of your reactions thanks Erica Scottsdale Az
I noticed the exorcist movie poster on your wall, I love horror movies too, You will love THE WARNING'S Concept album called (QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE) This masterpiece tells a dark story about a Girl that is obsessed with a guy that knows nothing of her, the story goes with the songs of the album like THE ONE, STOCKER AND RED HANDS NEVER FADE. At the same time She is fighting for her insanity as a dark entity tries to take over her mind and body. Enjoy. A good song to start with is the intro song to the album. (DUST TO DUST) PAU the drummer takes lead vocals as she kills the drums.
The middle sister, Paulina (Pau, pronounced Pow) was just voted Drumeo "Rock Drummer Of The Year" for 2023. It has taken The Warning 10 years to become an overnight sensation.
I know this is an older post... but as you mentioned, the backstory is SO AMAZING, but of the recent history of the band... They waste no opportunity. The Sisters needed very little help with stage presence and technique, but they have undoubtedly used each tour they were on with headliners to soak in anything and everything they could. They are not of MY generation, but their music has me captivated and they are reinvigorating rock. They are precise, they have fun with what they are doing and while following them via the internet on their current Euro Solo Tour, they don't let any conditions hamper what they give to their audience and fans. I LOVE The Warning!! As of a month ago when I finally found them, they are my favorite band. Thanks for taking the time to react to them and help spread the word of The Warning.
Great reaction! always cool to see musicians break down songs like this. If you're interested in the gear side of things, all three of them have a gear rundown video on the Digital tour Bus channel..
What a refreshing discovery! ive watched a hundred reviews of this song and exactly three of you discussed that odd chord and worked it out! loved your breakdown, so informative. its clear you know what your talking about and it was a pleasure to watch! Thank you! These girls are special!
Another reactor mentioned that the girls had a Black Sabbath feel to their sound. They grew up listening to a large variety of rock plus all the years playing Rock Band video game.
Muchas gracias - they are a gift to the rock'n roll scene - so incredibly talented! From their latest "Sick" to cover Metallicas "Atlas Rise" Live at the Whiskey a Go Go ....I think, if I remember it right, that Ale the bass player at the time was just 14 or 15 years old! The Warning Army is defently on their way by now... Great reaction and hopefully You will listen & react to some more! Saludos desde Valencia ✌💚
Their re-imagining of Enter Sandman (best live but the MV is good), Ugh, Revenant, 23, Evolve….loads of other great songs but those would be a good representation…
TWA is a huge fanbase. From kids to vintage rockers like yours truly, fascinated by the sound, the instrumental prowess, the energy and the flooring compositional creativity of the band. You have a great journey ahead of you, from their early 2 independent LP's with amazing songs like "Black Holes" or "When I'm Alone" or the concept story of the Murder Queen, to their latest album produced by Bendeth and the one we're waiting for in the following weeks. It's rock, man. The rock sound of today.
They have been touring for years, indeed! First time I saw them was in 2019 when they did a private show at Whisky A Go Go in LA that I was able to go to and they've been to many countries at this point, with Japan being the latest one I saw them in this summer!
This song is about how social media controls us with fabricated info. Pau, the drummer, got inspired about the main riff in a Canadian supermarket in 2019. She came home, composed the 1st draft on her piano including the bass intro and called her sisters. They were 19, 17 & 14 then. That is why Dany, guitarist, starts the song as an antagonist with "The sun is YOUR enemy today" while Pau picks it up as a disciple in the 2nd verse with "The sun is MY enemy today". The sisters trade off lead vocals as demanded by the script. You can make out the difference in their vocal textures. Ale, the bassist, mainly harmonizes in the lower frequencies with infrequent falsettos as required by the song. The Warning are masters in composing in minor scales. Quite often they introduce a full sequence of major chords for the same verse to break the monotony. And that downward bend in vocals here is typically The Warning. Every song from The Warning needs to be reviewed with the lyrics, innate message & back story, if available. Because they are the most intellectual band to emerge in decades. Their profound metaphorical songwriting on contemporary society sets them apart from the crowd. You can always read what the band says about their songs during your reviews. Their ages at the time of composing a song & playing it in public should be noted too in reviews. Among their 3 full albums & 2 EPs the girls have published a concept album in 2018 called Queen of the Murder Scene where they have mused over unrequited love, death, self harm, suicide & lunacy. Pau was in middle school going through her emo phase when she tabled the 1st draft in front of her sisters. Just to keep it in context, five decades back Roger Waters dealt with death, lunacy & depression in The Dark Side of the Moon. Dive into their rabbit hole that stretches back more than a decade to when they were playing classical piano as 6-8 year olds. Its all on YT. They have practically grown up on social media. After watching your reaction I am confident that you won't be disappointed.

I do not think that is fair. If you are some simple reactor that just plays music and say you like it, sure. But you do so much more to add value and also support the artists. Silly to demonetise you. Shows bad judgement.
@@rolandkarlsson7072thank you. I have given up trying to dispute copyright claims (even though I’ve been led to believe that, legally, what I often do falls under educational and fair use). Every claim I’ve disputed on these grounds has always been rejected, with no reason given. And the disputed claims are judged by the people that claim them in the first place, so I fail to see how that’s an impartial ruling. I have been told that there are other channels that do similar content to mine who have managed to monetise their videos via disputing these claims. Thus far it continues to elude me. Therefore I must rely on patrons and donations for my time and effort instead. Thank you for your comment.
The Warning literally has a whole thread devoted to UA-cam reactions on their own patreon. So they are more sympathetic than most. They are a gen Z band after all, so they understand the importance of social media. But maybe their record company are the ones claiming.
@@JWSoundworks2 It is probably harder to dispute since you played the whole song without pause., if the video was all breakdown it would maybe be ok... maybe only show a small part of your first listen and see if that makes a difference.
That's bizarre as so many people have been able to share this concert in full or in part. They had just signed a record deal (IIRC) with Lava before this but they've always been super generous with allowing fans to use their content in the past and I felt certain this was likewise protected 'from being protected'. Anyways, great great reaction and analysis.
Excellent first reaction!! So glad you noticed the chord!! The songwriting and arrangement and production is phenomenal. Their stage presence is so engaging! My favorite band at present. These young ladies kick butt!❤❤❤😊😊😊❤❤❤
The Army is coming.
You have been Warned!!!!
LOL indeed. Subscriber bump...even if it's only temporary.
High energy, absolute professionalism, stage presence, sisterly harmonies, awesome abilities - that's The Warning.
Y lo más evidente, su innegable belleza 😍
Hi Timberwolf
@@rogeliojuarezgonzalez5606 Verdadero!
The drummer's name is Pau (POW!) and she is also the bands primary songwriter, beginning most of their songs on piano before turning them into bangers like this. She's a bit of a phenom.
What drew me to The Warning was their throwback old school rock sound. Mixed with elements of punk, pop, grunge, even some metal, they create a sound that is familiar but unique. I actually left the house to go see them live, the first show I had been to in 40 years!
Exactly! 🤘💥
The drummer won two awards in 2023: Rock Drummer Of The Year and Up And Coming Drummer Of The Year
From Drumeo
I thought up and coming was the year before.
@@gabrielstratton1775 Rock Drummer was Drumeo, Up And Coming was Modern Drummer magazine.
@@baxbax1763 No it was late last year. Pau visited the MD facility in south Florida when they opened for GNR in Hollywood FL. She did an interview and got to play a bit on Alex Van Halen's and Neil Peart's kits.
@@peterwaterford9482 thanks for the correction
They have played live shows since they were barely teenagers. Thats really where theyre at their best, rocking a crowd.
Alejandra, bass, is their nuclear weapon. Trained in classical piano, like the others, she took up her instrument at age 7, and is also schooled in jazz fusion. She has metronome timing and perfect pitch.
She's the second coming of John Entwistle
@@jasonremy1627and no pick on
@@WheresWhere-lx5ti she plays both ways depending on the vibe she's going for.
You'll probably be unsurprised to learn that all three sisters have some classical piano training from an early age.🙂
Jinjer army here. These girls are my favorite rock band. They're bringing back that deep sound and energy that rock has been missing. They just cracked the top 40 with S!ck.
Not in the billboard 100
JINJER army here too and I agree, these girls are throwing us back to rock and roll with elements from all over the genre. I’ve noticed their fan base has a huge age range like myself I’m almost 60 and I can see why now…
@@manuelmanuel2079Garbage 100 is too stuffed for a good song.
The Warning Army isn't ominous lol, you've already experienced the Nightwish Army, same concept. Welcome in. Daniela (Dany) on Guitar is 24 today, Paulina (Pau pronounced Pow) is now 22, and Alejandra (Ale) is 19. Dany sings lead on most songs, Pau sings lead on some. Ale will sing lead if needed, when Dany is sick or needs a break, but no designated lead vocal songs, she prefers the backing vocals. Love this song as an intro because you get all 3 with lead parts (the 2 3 Go is Ale's line). They have opened for Foo Fighters, Def Leppard, Guns'N'Roses, Halestorm, 3 Days Grace and one of their favorite bands, Muse. Lzzy Hale was so impressed when she first heard them, that she insisted on getting The Warning on tour with them. This Teatro concert was in August, after having toured all summer with Halestorm and The Pretty Reckless.
The PRS( custom 24-08) is her baby, but has been gifted guitars, an Explorer from Lzzy Hale, and a Manson from Muse's Matt Bellamy. If you're interested in their equipment, all 3 sisters have done gear masters episodes, posted on 'digital tour bus'. They do use backing tracks, and run the show on the laptop with Ableton. Those are also mentioned in Pau's episode. Dany and Ale talk a little about tunings as well.
Their straight cover of Metallica's Enter Sandman, at ages 14 12 and 9, was posted for family and friends, and went viral. Metallica saw it, Kirk said that the drummer kicks maximum a$$. September 2023 they gave up 1 of 2 dates opening for G'N'R, to play at the mtv music awards. Check out those videos, "Evolve" and "More". And again, hope you had a Happy Birthday, and congrats on the new house.
Chris, great summary. I now have nothing to add; only to echo your comments!
The only thing I can add (and I think the story is) that Alessia Cara (a Canadian pop singer) was asked by Metallica to cover Enter Sandman for the Blacklist album. Alessia wasn't fully comfortable covering a metal song on her own and asked The Warning to do it with her. They arranged and recorded it in a week. They still play Enter Sandman at their own shows and if you'd like to see how they do it now, you should watch the version from the same show as Disciple.
@@reaper_fbb7052 Reaper is right. And it would be great if you analyzed how they did their rendition. It is definitely Enter Sandman and yet, so different at the same time. From what I have heard and believe, they opened it up to create space for Alessia Cara’s vocals, moved things around but retained the chord structures and made it more haunting and powerful at the same time. Certainly one of the best remakes (not really even a cover) of a song I’ve heard in a very long time.
Welcome To The Greatest Band On Planet Earth !!! (And Hi to my fellow The Warning Army members 😅😅😅)
TWA!!!
Hi!!!
PUH PAU
Of Course Were Here !!!
This band of sisters has been so exciting! Im a younger person and my dad actually turned me on to them and now im addicted! More, Evoke and Sick are just some some of there songs that kick ass! I never knew that I would like Rock so much! There edgy and in your face! Thx to reacting to them! Your a cool guy and I enjoyed your reaction!
Typo: Evolve. 😋. I've never seen anyone sign off a youTube comment with their full name and location before. Very classy, maybe a little risky. 🤔
Yes… what concept said below.
Be very careful with personal info please.
At 19-22 and 24 years old, their 4th album is dropping singles, a working band for over 10 years. When they put out XXI century blood, with several masterpieces, Ale was in 4th grade.
Pau's "killer drum fill" while singing lead 🤯 Gets me every time. Just unreal talent 🤩
(not to say JW missed it) It amuses me how many reactors will say "She sings so well while playing" and "That was a great drum fill" but somehow that massive fill while singing has yet to be pointed out singularly; This isn't to say that people don't notice, but nobody has been explicit about it. If Pau had 2 more arms and 2 more legs she could play 8 instruments.
@@Biomirth True. But to be honest, it took me a couple of times to notice and appreciate it fully as well. First couple of times I was just loving the song as a whole, and how it punches you in the face. Not to mention focusing on the video or stage performance as well. It's a lot to take in. I feel that really good songs or performances make you discover more details the more you listen. And since drummer lead singers is so rare, maybe it could take even pros a while to really register what the heck that is actually happening. For an amateur like me, even more so.
Give Dany credit for singing while playing. Because that is every bit as hard as singing while drumming.
I love Pau but it's not "unreal"😂
@@niclasvestman Absolutely. I think 'that fill' happens at a point exactly when the brain is processing everything that just came before it. It's like the video of people not noticing the gorilla in the room.
They only use guitar backing tracks very rarely. Dany uses Octaver and more than one output to make the full sound.
My takeaway from your brilliant analysis;
You need more of The Warning in your life and we need more of your reactions to them in ours!
Subscribed!
The Warning reaction bingo...
Wha...sisters?
Whaaa...how old?
Wha...Mexican?
What...a singing drummer?
Wha...they sound how good live?
Wha...those harmonies?
What...the future of Rock?... Fuckin A they are
House!
From UK North Ops Command...The Warning Army...we salute your reaction.
Yep, This is pretty much how new fans almost ALWAYS get "Warned"!
Wha... 7/4?
Whaaaa ... Devil's chord?
Wha... another impeccable hook line?
Could go on forever.
@@wolfgangwalk337yup, it’s starting to feel like reaction by numbers for views now
My favorite band of the last 30 years. I have not had one day go by in the last 5 years without having one of their songs stuck in my head at some point of the day. Becoming a Warning fan has become a lifestyle for lots of people I talked to through the years. They have also inspired my creativity for things I haven't done in years. Not one song out of their 3 albums and one EP of 6 songs that I don't like. Hope you enjoy your journey. They have their fourth album coming out this year and two new singles Friday.
Being a musician you might be interested in 3 videos posted recently from the UA-cam channel Digital Tour Bus, where each of them shows their live rig rundown. I sure would be interested in hearing your thoughts about it. Dany explains in her video how she gets that big sound even though their are a 3 piece.
So here is my Warning: your favorite Warning song will be the last one you listened to. This is The Warning rabbit hole.
All True!
Brilliant break down and analysis. They don’t just write a song, they’re artisans shaping an experience.
And here we are.
You have been Warned!
Having seen them live, you have no idea how much energy they have.
🤘⚡🤘⚡🤘⚡
They have been described as a (mostly) hard rock band with pop sensibilities, in that they know how to write very catchy riffs, hooks and harmonies. Agree with your assessment that while their music seems simple at first, their musical choices and song construction is actually pretty sophisticated. Enjoyed your reaction and analysis! 😎👍
Welcome, Thanks for checking out The Warning. My hope for you is, I hope these young ladies bring you happiness. Being a part of The Warning community makes me a better person everyday... That's all I've got... Have an excellent day..🤘🎶☮️
You made a reference to the diner scene in "Pulp Fiction", where she states "every last one of you mfers.." As the rest here will inform you, that you have no idea how On the Mark you are. Watch Pau's breakdown on "Evolve" specifically the VMA award show version. She reached a unique level on that one.
These young ladies are phenomenal!
For this Aug 2022 concert they was 17-19-21. They was 15-17-19 when they recorded this song off their 3rd full LP ERROR, but 1st LP under the Label Lava. The mainstream industry platforms call them ALT Rock. They do not know them like TWA does. I consider them Hard Rock, sprinkled with every other Genre out there. Classically trained Pianist's, they dabble and dip their toes into everything. They use click tracks, and some small amounts of backing tracks for instruments they played and recorded themselves. I only know of one song they use them for vocals, and that's from a guest singer on their Re-imagined Enter Sandman song with Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara that is on the 30th Anniversary Blacklist LP. Pau uses Midi Pedals to start & stop any track used, and why the laptop is on her side. Their first 3 albums they made their studio work mimic their live performances as best they could. When you hear them play Live, you know the songs from the studio versions, and can sing along head bang, & jump in time........every time. Playing Live is their Super Power. Check out more from that same concert. 22 songs in total!
WikipediaWarning Army🙌🏽
Never heard of this band, but I'm excited they are from Mexico, since I'm in the States. Maybe I'll have a better chance of seeing them in concert! I wouldn't have heard of them without you reacting to them, John, so thanks very much. Hope you're well! Here's some liquid energy for ya- ☕️
Also, that chord progression you've heard before sounds a lot like 38 Special's Hold On Loosely to me. I'm showing my age. 😊
I'm sure you will, they tour the states a lot, and they are doing some big festivals. But you will have to wait until after their European tour. They are also doing some festivals here and I am seeing them headline in London (UK) in April. Second time for me. We had to wait many years before they came to this side of the pond, so a second European tour in 2 years is massive for us!
@@concept226 I'll be in Spain in late April, just missing their early April tour there! 😑
@@jen43072 Aww that's a shame, the Spanish crowds go hard, especially for Spanish speaking bands! Will be a great atmosphere I'm sure. But no need to worry. They are signed to a US record label. So they will do a lot of US gigs.
As you haven't heard of this band before, you should check out the whole cdmx concert on their page. They just released a new song called Sick, the video is very cool. Also look in to their acoustic stuff. And Dani doing covers in her 'midnight sessions'
Their album before this one was called Queen of the murder Scene. It's a concept album about a female killer and her descent in to madness. It's crazy they wrote it as teenagers.
Also they have a lot of behind the scenes and documentaries on their page. They are really sweet people, it's hard not to fall in love with them.
The rabbit hole is deep, lots to enjoy.
They've announced they will be at a few festivals this fall (Louder Than Life and Aftershock) in the states. I would expect a few tour dates around those as well.
You have been warned.
You are about to be flooded with comments and information.
There is a deep rabbit hole here. Almost everything they have done since inception as a band is out there to see on video. Early covers from their basement studio nicknamed The Warning Cave. Early performances at their school with both covers and their original music from their first EP. Clips of them at Berkeley School of Music in 2015. In which Ale and Pau had to get exceptions to attend due to their young age. Which they shot audition videos at a school concert. Their 2016 and 2017 TEDx performances at the University of Neveda, Other videos of them performing material from their first full album XXI Century Blood (2017) and their second album Queen of the Murder Scene. A concept album they released in 2018 and performed live several times before the pandemic shut everything down.
These sisters have always written with an eye to playing live. They also have utilized many of the audio techniques from past years, like panning the guitar left and right while using a delay and octave pedal to differentiate the sound coming from each side. Dany does enjoy taking her vocal to unusual places as well. They certainly do have a very Sabbath sound imo. Although the ladies are not reinventing anything, they certainly are refreshing a tired rock genre.
They also pull inspiration from a ton of genres. They listen to a lot of music and use what they like. Rock, punk, j-pop, etc. One of the reasons their songs have so much variety.
Dany does run a harmonizer set at an octave lower. Paullina runs the backing tracks and all video.
Really like hearing a musician break down the song. Everyone has opinions and lots of reactions and those are cool, but I really enjoy the musician break down.
The drummer Pau, pronounced “Pow”, is the primary lyricist and she just won Drumeo’s award for Rock Drummer of the year. Pau writes the melodies on piano and brings them to her sisters to flesh the songs out as a band. They all were trained in classical music on piano at a very young age.
"Sophisticated." Yeah, that's a perfect one word description of their songwriting.
Their manager, Rudy Joffroy, once observed that in the real world they're just typical sisters who pick on each other mercilessly. But when they step on stage in front of an audience, they instantly transform into consummate professional musicians. That was the reason he accepted the job as their manager.
Welcome to The Warning! I really hope you continue with this amazing band, the have a very deep catalog fo great songs for you to check out! I have always enjoyed your reactions! The Warning Army will be here for it!
Great power trio of a band that has actually been playing live at least 10 years and actual touring in the last 5 or so. They have all the chops and are definitely worth checking out further.
This might be the best breakdown I've watched yet, and I've watched a lot. Thanks for your insight.
This Teatro show was Epic.... The entire concert. Unbelievable talent.
They do use tracks for some parts, but other reasons for Dany's fat guitar sound she has explained in some gear videos. FIrst off, she often likes to use a octave pedal. Also she will split the signal with a delay to two different amps, to make it sound bigger.
They also mic her onstage amp and send that to the board as well. Pretty sure they do the same with the bass as well.
Great Breakdown man! More of The Warning!!!
Heed `The Warning'!!! (Their cover of 'Enter Sandman' may be the best cover of an epic classic rock song, ever!!) Their entire discography, to date, is immaculately conceived! They are, IMHO ...
"The Best Hard Rock Power Trio of the 21st Century"🦉🤟⚡🪨🍩👍⚠💥
They are a great live band that has opened for Muse, Halestorm, Guns and Roses, Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace and The Foo Fighters. They covered Enter Sandman for the Metallica Blacklist album. Lzzy Hale gifted Dany a Gibson Explorer and Matt Bellamy of Muse gave her custom Manson. Pau was named The Drumeo Rock Drummer of the year for 2023. They have 3 albums, 2 EPs and 3 singles out, and 2 new singles will be released Friday. They will be playing Wacken Open Air 2024 and a second European tour. And they are only 24, 22, and 19. Any song from the Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022 concert would be a great next step; I love Animosity and for an acoustic sound try Revenant. Have fun learning more about The Warning. Thank you. TWA DPA ⚡🤘🔥
They are so sweet in person, they have documented their whole life on Utube and Patreon and interacted with fans since they were very young. I think that you will find that most long time fans love them more as people than as musicians, performers and composers ( you just saw how good they are) and if you do decide to dig into thier evolution you will likely feel the same way.
Daniela "Dany" 24 guitar lead singer, Piano
Paulina "Pau" 22 Drums, lead singer (about 10 songs), Backing vocals, Piano

Welcome to the rabbit hole of the warning
3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico
Trained from a young age in classical piano they founded the group in 2013 due to the game musical 'the rock-band'
They will be noticed in 2014 following the release on UA-cam of the song Enter sandman of Metallica (originally intended for their grandparents to see their progress !! )
They have released 3 albums ( 2 independent XXI st century blood in 2017 and Queen of the Murder Scene, concept album in 2018)
They signed with Lava/Republic records mid-2020, following a negotiation of 7 months.
They record the album Error mid pandemic it released in 2022

This year they'll tour in Europe (Spain,France, Germany at Wacken, GB, czech Republic, Switzerland..)
You've been Warned !!!!
Speaking of *demanding* the crowd to participate, check out Evolve, live at the MTV VMAs!
I love your analyze phase. Learning so much. And you are so fast to pick what they play.
LIke you I became obsessed with Jinjer and I love this band for many of the same reasons even thought they are stylistically completely different. Both are three piece (instrumental) and use vocals and interesting mix of meter, chord progression and tension to fill out the sound. I think the thing that I love the most is their passion for the music (same for Jinjer). Best bands I've heard in years (i'm over 60 and a former jazz snob)
Been a while since I have seen any of your videos. First came across your channel (perhaps an older one?) with your discovery of Nightwish.
Welcome to The Warning. Three sisters from Monterey Mexico who started playing together when they were children and who have now been making great hard music for more than a decade. With three studio albums, several live concert videos, and a new album on the way, we think there is plenty of material for you to choose from.
This three-piece is:
Daniela (Dany, 24yo, guitar)
Paulina (Pau, as in POW-er, 22yo, drums)
Alejandra (Ale, pronounced AH-lay, 19yo, bass)
All three sisters sing and all are classically trained on piano.
As you can see, live is their magic sauce. They put out hella noise for only three people. The Warning have a sound that is both new and familiar. It is certainly hard rock, but clearly influenced by their love of classic rock, metal, punk, K-pop, indie, grunge, funk, and many other genres including classical music. But they have taken those influences and forged a sound that is uniquely their own, and you know that it is them. At the same time simple and complex.
What does it sound like to me? Refreshing. A sound that has caught my ear and made me interested in rock again after 25+ years of the same old playlist. While together their combined ages are about the same as mine, their musical maturity is exceptionally high.
Need another suggestion? From The Warning’s UA-cam page you might choose from:
- MORE or EVOLVE from the MTV VMAs
- CHOKE, ANIMOSITY, 23, or any other song from this 2022 show at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX (aka Mexico City)
- The official music video for XXI CENTURY BLOOD
- SURVIVE from their 2017 TedX talk
- The official music video for their new release S!CK
There are really no bad choices. They are something special live. Their energy, charisma, and musicality really shine when in front of an audience. In the past two years I have flown all over North America and seen them 7 times. Can’t wait for the chance to travel and see them again. The only other band I have traveled like this for in more than 40 years of concert going was Rush.
Also in August last year before their show in Chicago, all three of them filmed gear rundown videos with Digital Tour Bus. With your background, you might enjoy looking at those as well
That strange E-chord divides the chorus into 2 very different parts with the second part only becoming possible due to that surprising chord, since the second part starts on A. I guess it was that tritone chord that made me a fan when I first heard the song.
Exactly! You don't expect to go from Bb to E (and the verse/chorus key switch from Dm to A) but damn they nail it! (And Pau doesn't like major keys?!)
I really enjoyed your thoughtful and informative reaction and analysis. I very much like that you didn't try to combine the reaction with the analysis as so many reactors try to do, which becomes a jumbled mess more often than not. 👍
Excellent group. Going to see them next month.
TWA is very devoted. Ask the farthest we have traveled to see them live. Great reaction. Even their first test songs they wrote are good. Ale (bassist) was in 4th grade when thy recorded their first album. 10 years of great music.
This is the best breakdown and least annoying review I've ever seen of Disciple. Thank you so much for this. I hope you do every one of their songs.
Awsome that you finally discovered these Talented sisters I have always enjoyed your analysis of bands, eventho I am not a musician It does enhance my appreciation for what I am listening to.
Excellent breakdown! First time I've seen a reactor figure out the guitar parts on the spot for this song. Great technical explanation of what's going on musically, and going over their chord and note choices. I know Dany uses a harmonizer and octave pedal on her Kemper profiler, but not sure exactly what she uses on this song. So she could be playing some octaves, or the pedalboard is doing it. I see @concept226 has already provided the link to her gear breakdown if that interests you.
Very enjoyable analysis/reaction. Hope to see more reactions to my favorite band. It's always a nice bonus when the reactor is also a musician. Peace! 🤘
The Warning is a once in a generation phenomenon. I flew down from Portland Oregon with my daughter to see them live over 2 months ago in Tijuana where they started with Disciple. Ale’s bass kicked me in the chest and knocked me over, then Pau beat me over the head with her drums and then Dany finished me off by slaying me with her guitar and vocals. Once you go down The Warning rabbit hole there's no way out, like Black Holes (which is one of my favorite songs of theirs).🤘⚡
I think you may be right about Dany using that lower 5th, because the PRS she's playing is in E standard tuning, per her DTB gear rundown video. She does use drop D for some songs, but the lion's share of their music is in E standard. Aside from their musical prowess, they also have spines of steel when it comes to their artistic integrity. They were approached at a very young age by the likes of Disney, who thought they were dumb kids who could be strong armed into questionable contracts and then dressed up in a corporate-tailored image. One smug scout asked them if they'd rather play in front of 12 people, or 12,000, to which Pau (Paulina) replied that they would rather play the music they love in front of 12 people than play music they hate in front of 12,000. They did eventually sign with Lava Records, but only after months of negotiations that resulted in a contract allowing them to maintain creative control. That commitment to being true to themselves and their artistry resonates with their fans, and it'll be a key ingredient to keeping them relevant far into the future.
Adding to the DTB bit, she also uses an octave pedal to fill out their sound. I've also noticed that when she's soloing and Ale is mimicking the rhythm, Pau uses her floor toms quite often to fill in the low end. Not all the time, but often enough that it stands out as a bit of that sophistication he mentioned in their writing. It's a big part of why they don't sound like a typical trio.
Glad to see you got around to The Warning. I have always enjoyed your break downs of songs, even though I am not much of a musician myself I appreciate the demosntrations and analysis of how the songs come together.
Not as intricate as a lot of band you react to, but they are great at what they do and add exactly what they need to the song. Not many solo's, as you pointed out a lot of the intricacy is in the vocal melodies and harmonies and the bands super power is really in the vocals and harmony (familial voices have that unique way of blending). But they are all very competent on their instruments and all trained in classical piano. Pau (the drummer) comes up with the basic chords and melodies for most of the songs on the piano.
They each have a quick gear run down on the 'Digital Tour Bus' channel. The videos are fairly short, but they give you a feel for the bands professionalism and each sisters individual personality. This is Dani's video - ua-cam.com/video/kMPWxinxmoI/v-deo.html
Enjoyed your reaction, but really enjoyed your analysis of the song. The Warning is one of my favorite rock bands at the moment, and an absolute "breath of fresh air" in the genre. All three of them are obviously talented musicians, but what really makes them special is their vocals (especially their vocal harmonies) and their top-tier songwriting. It was really interesting to me hearing you point out all the really smart songwriting choices they made throughout this song.
Great reaction. Your analysis is on point. Very well done. Be prepared The Warning Army is coming to flood your comment section. Guaranteed. These talented young ladies are about to conquer the world. You got here just in time. If you don’t believe me, ask Matt Bellamy. He’s the one that personally invited them to open for Muse on their last tour of the UK and France. You will very much enjoy going down this rabbit hole. I suggest Evolve live from the MTV VMAs. Strap in and don’t forget to turn it up. As all Warning fans say, “You have been Warned!”
Chuckle. You ain’t heard nothing yet. You have been Warned! Welcome to the party. Buckle up. The next legit super group.
You have to see their 2 song live performance at the VMA’s in 2023. Amazing!
Great reaction! Love The Warning ❤️ You'll love your concert
They use backing tracks, but primarily for instruments they don’t have on stage, piano,etc. they use split signals with harmonizers and octave dividers to thicken and faten up their sound. They run over the specifics on their tech videos. The reason the come off so tight and professional sounding is due to having been a performing as a band for 10 years. The Bassist Ale, pronounced Al-Lay or by many fans as Al- Lee, was 9 years old when she started with the band and playing Festivals by 11.
Nicely put. First reviwer that used the word "sophisticated" . Probably the most accurate descritption of their music.
The bass is a Spector down tuned. That's why it sounds like a thunderstorm moving in.
What's really cool is that their musician fans are already starting go cover their tunes on UA-cam !! :))
Thanks so much for that great musical breakdown. I'm strictly an amateur so it's great to hear. Like you, I've followed King Crimson and Opeth for decades (Let's not get into how old I was when I bought my first King Crimson record but Robert still had a full beard.) It would be fantastic to hear you explore more from these amazing sisters. I really believe they will revitalize rock and have a huge impact on the music scene in the coming years. I will be watching to see where you go from here.
They have been touring for 10 years as group. The guitarist, Dany, and the drummer, Pau (Pow), have been playing piano at age 6. I am not sure when the bass, Ale (Aleh) started playing piano, but she started young. They are sisters from Monterey, Mexico.
🤘🏽Discovered your channel with Jinjer, and stayed for The Warning. My 2 favourite recent bands and surprised at how many other commenters have expressed the same - very different but both are infectious.🤘🏽
Great breakdown. These ladies are masterful songwriters. On the surface their songs seem simple, but they work in sneaky variations & catchy little hooks to engage the listener. On top of that, their musicianship is top notch & their vocal harmonies are the cherry on top. Agreed (after seeing them myself) that they even sound better live - and their energy & intensity is contagious. These ladies are the real deal.
Subbed for more The Warning content & will check out the rest of your work as you seem to be great at this. Thanks!
great work and reaction, welcome to the warning world, and for sure the songs has not the complex structure of the king crimson and others but these girls at that age ,they bring us again the love for rock and roll, straight and pure rock and they write all their songs
Hi! If you do another reaction to The Warning, whatever one would be really enjoyable to listen to and analyse, but I guess DUST TO DUST will blow you away. ❤
Dust to Dust from this same concert.
Great reaction!
Absolutel EPIC live performance!!
They write very dark and deep lyrics. Awesome!
These sisters are the best power trio of XXI century!
Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
Some react just for the cash (but you have to pay for the equipment, right?). Their reactions are usually short and sweet, and those of us from TWA are still happy to "like and subscribe" because we have a passion for this band! You, Sir, kept me to the end, and though I can't play a lick on any instrument, I loved your song breakdown and reference to "old bands" as to the "flavors" of their song writing. Stuck around for the whole thing, and that doesn't happen much for most reactors! Can't wait for another reaction to our lovely Ladies of The Warning
I would really love to see you do an analysis of their song Martirio. This song is in Spanish. I've played several instruments in my years, but I'm not adept at picking up on composition and structure like you. Since I first heard Martirio I have always felt that it is one of their best musically crafted songs, even though I don't understand Spanish. I would enjoy hearing your breakdown. I believe they did Martirio at the Metropolitan theater as well and there is a very stunning music video - both are great. Cheers.
I really enjoyed your reaction! You have a ton of talent and the way you look at music is really cool! My dad actually turned me on to the sisters and im so glad he did! More , Evoke and Sick are some of my favorite songs now! Will check out more of your reactions thanks Erica Scottsdale Az
Welcome on board! This band is a gem! Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
I noticed the exorcist movie poster on your wall, I love horror movies too, You will love THE WARNING'S Concept album called (QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE) This masterpiece tells a dark story about a Girl that is obsessed with a guy that knows nothing of her, the story goes with the songs of the album like THE ONE, STOCKER AND RED HANDS NEVER FADE. At the same time She is fighting for her insanity as a dark entity tries to take over her mind and body. Enjoy. A good song to start with is the intro song to the album. (DUST TO DUST) PAU the drummer takes lead vocals as she kills the drums.
The middle sister, Paulina (Pau, pronounced Pow) was just voted Drumeo "Rock Drummer Of The Year" for 2023. It has taken The Warning 10 years to become an overnight sensation.
This was a very detailed analysis. Thanks.
they've been playing with each other almost there whole lives, they've been on stage as a band for ten years now.
¡Ciudad de México 🇲🇽 déjenme escucharlooooooosss!!!🤟🏽
Sí vamooooooos!!!
⚡⚡⚡🇲🇽
I know this is an older post... but as you mentioned, the backstory is SO AMAZING, but of the recent history of the band... They waste no opportunity. The Sisters needed very little help with stage presence and technique, but they have undoubtedly used each tour they were on with headliners to soak in anything and everything they could. They are not of MY generation, but their music has me captivated and they are reinvigorating rock. They are precise, they have fun with what they are doing and while following them via the internet on their current Euro Solo Tour, they don't let any conditions hamper what they give to their audience and fans. I LOVE The Warning!! As of a month ago when I finally found them, they are my favorite band. Thanks for taking the time to react to them and help spread the word of The Warning.
This band does no wrong ..🤘
Great reaction! always cool to see musicians break down songs like this. If you're interested in the gear side of things, all three of them have a gear rundown video on the Digital tour Bus channel..
What a refreshing discovery! ive watched a hundred reviews of this song and exactly three of you discussed that odd chord and worked it out! loved your breakdown, so informative. its clear you know what your talking about and it was a pleasure to watch! Thank you! These girls are special!
Another reactor mentioned that the girls had a Black Sabbath feel to their sound. They grew up listening to a large variety of rock plus all the years playing Rock Band video game.
Muchas gracias - they are a gift to the rock'n roll scene - so incredibly talented! From their latest "Sick" to cover Metallicas "Atlas Rise" Live at the Whiskey a Go Go ....I think, if I remember it right, that Ale the bass player at the time was just 14 or 15 years old!
The Warning Army is defently on their way by now... Great reaction and hopefully You will listen & react to some more!
Saludos desde Valencia ✌💚
SHREDDERS! They are amazing live. Seen them three times and I can't wait for the next time! 👯♀️⚡️🇲🇽❤️
THIS BAND IS BEAUTIFUL AND DANGEROUS AT THE SAME TIME❤❤❤SO MUCH LOVE FOR THEM
Their re-imagining of Enter Sandman (best live but the MV is good), Ugh, Revenant, 23, Evolve….loads of other great songs but those would be a good representation…
TWA is a huge fanbase. From kids to vintage rockers like yours truly, fascinated by the sound, the instrumental prowess, the energy and the flooring compositional creativity of the band. You have a great journey ahead of you, from their early 2 independent LP's with amazing songs like "Black Holes" or "When I'm Alone" or the concept story of the Murder Queen, to their latest album produced by Bendeth and the one we're waiting for in the following weeks. It's rock, man. The rock sound of today.
I remember seeing them doing metal covers on youtube seems like a decade ago? Cool to see them playing to such a huge audience now.
They have been touring for years, indeed! First time I saw them was in 2019 when they did a private show at Whisky A Go Go in LA that I was able to go to and they've been to many countries at this point, with Japan being the latest one I saw them in this summer!
Loved you pointing out Dany singing the tri-tone. So cool!
Dany's playing her PRS 35th Anniversary Custom 24-08 in Fire Red Burst. Or, as Dany calls it, "my baby." 👶 🎸🤘
This song is about how social media controls us with fabricated info. Pau, the drummer, got inspired about the main riff in a Canadian supermarket in 2019. She came home, composed the 1st draft on her piano including the bass intro and called her sisters. They were 19, 17 & 14 then.
That is why Dany, guitarist, starts the song as an antagonist with "The sun is YOUR enemy today" while Pau picks it up as a disciple in the 2nd verse with "The sun is MY enemy today". The sisters trade off lead vocals as demanded by the script. You can make out the difference in their vocal textures. Ale, the bassist, mainly harmonizes in the lower frequencies with infrequent falsettos as required by the song.
The Warning are masters in composing in minor scales. Quite often they introduce a full sequence of major chords for the same verse to break the monotony. And that downward bend in vocals here is typically The Warning.
Every song from The Warning needs to be reviewed with the lyrics, innate message & back story, if available. Because they are the most intellectual band to emerge in decades. Their profound metaphorical songwriting on contemporary society sets them apart from the crowd.
You can always read what the band says about their songs during your reviews. Their ages at the time of composing a song & playing it in public should be noted too in reviews.
Among their 3 full albums & 2 EPs the girls have published a concept album in 2018 called Queen of the Murder Scene where they have mused over unrequited love, death, self harm, suicide & lunacy. Pau was in middle school going through her emo phase when she tabled the 1st draft in front of her sisters. Just to keep it in context, five decades back Roger Waters dealt with death, lunacy & depression in The Dark Side of the Moon.
Dive into their rabbit hole that stretches back more than a decade to when they were playing classical piano as 6-8 year olds. Its all on YT. They have practically grown up on social media. After watching your reaction I am confident that you won't be disappointed.
