The Warning Reaction (Enter Sandman) The Warning covering Metallica hit Enter Sandman, my reaction. Join this channel to get access to perks: / @victorycast
Metalica asked them to do this for the Blacklist album (30th Anniversary of Black album). Them and Alessia Cara came up with this, and recorded AND submitted it in one week!! Its the first track on the Black List Album.
No they did NOT. Metallica asked Alessia Cara, NOT The Warning. She was stuck and didn't know what direction to go. This project wasn't really in her wheelhouse. She and The Warning share the same management company . Her people talked to The Warning's people, obviously they jumped at the idea. Management proposed the collaboration to Metallica and they approved. I do believe it was The Warning that asked to do Enter Sandman though. They took about a day and half to come up with the rearrangement. Spent I think it was two days in the studio laying down instrumental tracks, and a day doing vocals. Could be the other way around. It's been a minute since I watched the "Dany Day" video where she explains it all. Because they joined the project late, they only had about a week to do. They came in well under the deadline. I believe the Official Music Video was shot in the same week after the studio work was complete.
Chris Smith of 21 Entertainment Group suggested the collaboration to Alessia with TW. Metallica invited Alessia to submit a song from the Black album for the Blacklist album. She told Chris she didn't even know a single song from the Black album, so she liked the idea of the collaboration. Metallica also liked the idea and approved the collaboration. That is how this re-arrangement came about. Chris Smith is their International Booking Agent with 21 Entertainment Group out of Toronto.
@@ZWQ945 What a ridiculous story. A pop singer who doesn't even know Metallica is given the honor of contributing to their album. She has no idea what to do, so her management is like "I know some people" and calls three sisters in Mexico. The sisters are like: "We're geniuses, so the time crunch is no problem, and doing Enter Sandman will complete a circle for us that will satisfy the Rock Gods and bring balance to the universe. We'll completely rearrange this iconic song, and call you back after lunch when we're done." The fact that Metallica never contacted The Warning direct is so strange. It just made sense that they would have, given the 2014 cover, and then Alessia was brought in as the extra due to record company shenanigans. What a backwards world.
This completely reimagined masterpiece was composed and recorded in ONE week to meet the Metallica Blacklist Album submission deadline! They are extremely proud of this Metallica approved remake and perform it at every opener and headline show.
Metallica's Blacklist album invited artists to reinterpret the songs from the iconic Black-album. TW hooked up with Alessia Cara remotely due to COVID-19 precautions, and they jointly reimagined this song in about a week. It's a tour de force! 🤩
Dany channels James so well with her rasp and attitude. And then she absolutely slays me with her angelic “Hush little baby” lines every single time. IMO this is a brilliant reimagining of a classic…they turned it into a haunting lullaby.
They became Dany Hetfield-Hammett, Pau Ulrich and Ale Newstedt for this. I'm not a big Metallica fan either (at least not since Master of Puppets & Black Album, which is where everything really worthwhile is), but turning an iconic song like this around in such a way that it doesn't lose its essence and still sounds new is within the reach of very few. But of course, The Warning's talent is beyond question.
I love this! There spin on it does give it some cool originality! Im a little young to have been around for Metallica's but for the new generation this works for me! Its really cool to have girls doing rock! Im not into rap or country so this hits the spot for me! We actually played this before our football games at school because I showed the coach! Im thinking rock is going to live on!!
You picked Precisely the right word for this Beautiful version, sir...HAUNTING🌑 I've read that James Hetfield wrote this as a Lullaby for his son. The Warning have achieved it's meaning! Well Done You 👏 Thank You, 💖🐺
Metallica asked Canadian singer ,Alessia Cara , to contribute to the Blacklist album (30th anniversary of the Black album). This is track #1 on that album. Alessia and The Warning share someone in the business side, and decided to collaborate. They had 10 days to get it done (7 days of actual recording time). Done during quarantine, Alessia recorded in Canada, TW in Mexico. Metallica told them to rearrange it, told them they don't care if you turn it upside down or play it backwards, just don't change the lyrics. You hear Alessia's voice on backing track in this live version. Pau did the prayer in the music video, as you see Dany does it here. I've been a Metallica fan for decades, seen them on multiple tours playing this song. And I love this reimagined version.
They took just over a week (10 days?) I believe from start to finish (reimagining, rehearsing and final recording), as there was a deadline. It was a collaboration with a Canadian singer called Alessia Cara, done during lockdown at Metallica's request. It is the first track on "The Black List" album. A tribute to 30 years since the release of the Black album. They were asked to reimagine it any way they wanted "just DON'T change the lyrics" were the instructions! In the live version you just listened to, the "Aaaaaaaaaah" part between chorus, verses is a sample of Alessia Cara triggered by Pau via foot pedal (laptop running Ableton Live next to the drum kit), all other music, vocals, harmonies are The Warning. Like yourself, I prefer this version over the original to be honest.
Legend has it that they were given a week's notice to submit the song for inclusion on the album, and in that week they rearranged the whole song, recorded it, collaborated with Alessia for her parts, and then mixed and mastered it. The song wound up opening the whole Blacklist album. Imagine the cajones to rework - and soften up - one of the most iconc songs in all of metal, for inclusion on an album that would be marketed directly to Metallica's biggest fans. Fearless.
The pressure to re-imagine such a classic, iconic song, for the band that first created it has to be massive, then to collaborate with someone you have never met over zoom, and then oh yeah, you have 10 days to do it! The Warning thrive under pressure and never disappoint !
I'm not a big Metallica fan either (especially after hearing this song probably a thousand times on the radio after it came out)🤪 But these young ladies, in conjunction with Canadian pop singer, Alessia Cara, turned it into a veritable masterpiece in a little over a week! They truly gave it a whole different feel from the original, and yet retained most of the elements of the original, albeit, in a different order. The music video is definitely worth a watch in your spare time, if you haven't seen it already!😄👍👍
This live version is the best version of this song. This is the first song on Metallicas recently released Blacklist album. The studio version includes Canadian pop star Alessia Cara but only mainly in the first verse and some of ooooooh in the background. I love that you loved this version. I've watched this video 1000 times and it never gets old 😅 yes I have an addiction to The Warning and I'm happy about it 😂😂
Metallica stipulated that they make the song their own but keep the lyrics. Dany has said that they wanted to go back to the original intent of the song which started off being a lullaby and morphed into what Enter Sandman eventually became. The Warning were able to make it into a haunting heavy metal lullaby with Alessia Cara's mournful vocals adding just he right tone to perfect the sound. My favorite version of this song by far. I like the original, but I love this version. ⚡
May not be a The Warning original, they sure made it their own though. I have to admit, I am not a Metallica fan, and I was sick of this song, until this version came along. A lullaby where Dany very sweetly puts you to bed, then rouses the troops, shares a little prayer, the angel chorus comes to sing you to sleep, then Boom, the hammer drops. I think of this very much as the female version of the Sandman tale. So good. Delicate, powerful, soothing, strong, gentle, fierce-all at the same time. I love this one.
Thiis is on the Meatllica Blacklist Album, not this live version but they did this in collabaration with Alessia Cara. They where told from Metallica, to make a fresh version, play it backwards, turn it upside down, just keep the lyrics. They did this in only ten days, writing, recording, with the Warning in Mexico and Alessia Cara in Canada, during the covid restrictions, so they had to record her part remotely.
*Total Backstory:* During COVID. Metallica wanted to do a charity project too celebrate their 30th anniversary of their *Black album.* The project is called *Metallica Blacklist Album.* They asked around artists to do a cover song from their *Black album.* Metallica told the artist they're allowed to do what they want with the song *EXCEPT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE LYRICS.* Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara was invited by Metallica to participate. The Warning got involved when a guy who works Internationally for both bands suggested both should do a collaboration. Alessia did her part in Canada. Warning in Mexico due to travel restrictions. The Warning had 8 day deadline when they were asked to participate. *React to the music video.* This song so far is only on the Blacklist album & a video game that didn't sell. *Maybe The Warning will release this song on their Greatest Hits album someday.* Otherwise it's the first song on the over bloated *Metallica Blacklist Album.* Only because the songs are listed in order of the Black Album & then by alphabetical by artist. Cara is first of the 6 versions of *Enter Sandmans* on the Blacklist Album. Followed by 7 cover versions of *Sad But True.* That's just Disc one of four. *Metallica Blacklist Album* didn't sell well since it was very over blouted. Alessia Cara & The Warning did perform this song live when Cara joined The Warning at the Troubadour club (second night) in LA during The Warning's headliner Mayday set in 2022. Now you know.
What makes you say the Blacklist album did not sell well? And then give a reason why it didn't sell well? The album did make the Billboard Top 200. Wikipedia says it got "generally favorable reviews." Maybe you have different information? Just asking the question out of curiosity - I think most everything else you said is accurate and informative. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this . . Its on the Black Album 30th anniversary album . .From invitation to do this till the time it was finished took 1 week . . Alissia Cara was in Canada , The Warning and producer were in Mexico. . Alissia and The Warning have the same international management . . Not 100% bit i think Alissia was asked to do a version but management put the 2 together . . Others may know for sure . . Till the next time . . Take care . Bye from NZ 🍻👍🇳🇿
The Metallica team was impressed with the TW version because when they were approached by Marvel Entertainment about using ES in an upcoming video game trailer, Marvel was recommended to use the TW version. The trailer came out a month before the album was released - ua-cam.com/video/Wz8Vw5tOf5M/v-deo.html - TW doesn't appear in the final game, only this trailer.
Isn't it an absolute masterful piece of genius!? The 'time crunch' (deadlines) and the distance and travel logistics with all people involved in the recording and making of the video makes it even more of a wonder.
This version of Enter Sandman is from the Blacklist Album recorded during the pandemic with Alessia Cara. The "Oh ah oohs" in the background is the backing track of Alessia's vocals from the studio recording. Bands were told to do whatever they wanted to for the song Metallica chose them to do except keep the lyrics the same. To me this is The Warning's song now. I really can't listen to the original Metallica version after this. EDIT: They recorded this in a about a week to 10 days. Fixed typo
Thanks for this one. Your no BS reactions are what we like. What a great version! This got my wife into these ladies. Haunting for sure. Dark and eerie, too. Really enjoyed seeing you enjoy this surprising track. ⚡⚡⚡
A breath of fresh air, that's how The Warning makes me feel when playing live :-) In the studio is where recent releases such as More and S!CK have left me confused with production, mastering and mixing decisions. Every band finds a producer that understands, compliments yet enhances the band's signature sound e.g. Tom Allom for Judas Priest, Eddie Kramer for KISS, Martin Birch for Iron Maiden. For the Warning that's been 'David Bendeth', producer / contributor / mixer for the excellent and consistent Error album which includes Choke and other The Warning projects such as Enter Sandman
The Enter Sandman OMV is pretty neat, watch that for your own edification. If you’re looking for your next favorite song by then, react to Dull Knives from The Warning Cave (DeTour)It’s the video that got Lzzy Hale interested in them. No effects, no light show. Just three blistering, face melting rock and roll minutes. Oh by the way, thanks for the Smoking Snakes reviews, they are pretty cool!
I prefer the live version a lotte more than the studio recording. The official video is very nice and well done. If you take in account that it was made mid pandemic with Alessia in Canada and The Warning in Mexico, it's crazy good. But this live is top!
You should give their Spanish song martirio a go..I think they did this version of enter Sandman in 10 days or something like that.nothing surprise me with these girls anymore.they are so talented
Dany, Pau and Ale understood the assignment. The song is available as a single on iTunes/Spotify and is part of the Metallica Blacklist album (4 disc set, or something like that).
DPA/TW and Alessia Cara certainly understood the assignment! Alessia Cara is a Grammy winning Canadian Pop and R&B singer... they had 10 days to rip this rendition of *Enter Sandman* from the ether and make it a darker, more eerie, and a more haunting lullaby than the original metal version... this was done because they, and many other artists from numerous genres, were invited by Metallica to take one of the songs from the original "Black" album, keep the lyrics and change it up how ever you like... play it backwards, upside down, whatever... this was all for the 30th anniversary of the "Black" album... all the submissions from 50someodd artists were put on the 2021 "The Metallica Blacklist" album... the proceeds from the album sales are split 50/50 with half going to Metallica's "All Within My Hands Foundation" and the other half being donated to a charity of the participating artists' choice. in the OMV, Dany (guitar) and Alessia share the lead vocals until they are in the three doorways when Dany takes over and Alessia does more of the background oooohs and aaaahs... the version they play in concert has Dany doing the vocals with a backing track of Alessia's ohhhs and ahhhs... of course Ale (bass) and Pau (drums) join in with their angelic harmonies in both... this is a fantastic reimagining of the iconic original... this 60+ year old rocker loves both versions of *Enter Sandman* but this one by TW and Alessia gets more airtime these days 😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
I would not concern myself with a letdown after a TW song that blew me away. You may well find the next one even more to your liking. There's a saying that one's favorite song by The Warning is the one most recently listened to.
If you want to erase any chance of a let down after Choke, do Dull Knives next. There's a video for it from this show, but you really need to do the version from their home studio. The Warning Cave is in the title on YT. You'll know it when you see Ale's black leather jacket. While it probably won't eclipse Choke as a song for you, it is a great song and the performance is pure energy from all 3 of them that I know you'll love.
This could have been part of a Three-fer Thursday, with their 2014 cover, and the OMV version of the song, which has a few small differences than this one. Let me know if you need more ideas like this (Four-fer Fridays, Six-fer Saturdays etc), and we'll have you pumping out dozens of Warning songs a weeks. 👍 Edit: Never mind, you already did the 2014 version. The rest of the offer still stands though.
As you know, these ladies are going to smoke any song they play. It’s normal and natural for them, those are their standards. They are an elite band that doesn’t lower their standards. Their sound is quality, their talent is amazing, their shows are powerful and they are captivating to look at.
They themselves explained that the process was, very ingenious and practical from my point of view, they deconstructed the original and with this made a pop version, then they repeated the steps transforming it back into rock, and... Voilá.! Only geniuses like them (and with their talent, of course) could come up with something so practical and effective as a solution due to the rush, don't you think?! 🤘😁✌️
It took them one week between when Metallica asked Alessia Cara and she asked The Warning for help and they produced this and sent it back to Metallica for approval. This is on the Metallica Blaclist album, which is a 30th anniversary album to the Black album. The album features other groups and singers to do songs from the Black album. I believe this is the only song that was rearranged so much and it makes the song TW's instead of a regular cover. BTW that is Alessia Cara doing the chanting on backing track and not Pau.
gr8 reaction ... it took them a week, what??? lol ... the song fits the lyrics now ... they did an epic thing with this song ... namaste from canada ... r0ck 0n ... twa ... \m/
Hermosa versión dé un tema icono del Rock, por nuestras Diosas del Rock para la Black List de Metallica, excelente reacción hermano, saludos y bendiciones desde Monterrey México 😃👍👍👍
At about 3:48, they are piping in backing vocalists from Canadian Alessia Cara, who they collaborated with on this song, upon invitation from Metallica for the Blacklist album. While a lot of Warning fans will tell you to only watch them live, their studio versions are always excellent, as is the version for this song, with Alessia.
Oh, everyone likes this version better than the original. If no other reason than it’s a breath of fresh air for a classic. & the studio/video version is almost a whole other version with the full Alessia vocals and Pau doing the prayer super creepy. They’ve also done it live with strings because why not! ua-cam.com/video/qFTUU8KPh-4/v-deo.htmlsi=Ld6KHhGmCrryUovr (fan-cam)
You will also like the music video. The behind the scenes of recording the Enter Sandmand for the Blacklist album is very good. Dany wanted to make this into a lullaby. This song is on the Metallica Blacklist album from September, 2021. The arranged, recorded, mixed and submitted the song in 10 days.
It was a daunting task. Since they had already done it so many years before they had a head start. People already gave you the scoop so I won’t repeat. An enchanted version for sure.
Since this is on Metallica's Blacklist Charity LP, you do have options if you want to own the song. TW sells it as a single on download. Metallica sells the box set in both CD or Vinyl plus an MP3 download. Amazon has all of them. The box sets are pretty amazing. DPA did an unboxing of their box after Metallica sent it to them. The 7 LP set is done in alphabetical order for all the artists, and Alessia Cara & DPA was the first song, on disc 1.
While The Warning is always better live, you should take a look at the studio version of this song which is on Metallica's Blacklist album, it's a collaboration with Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara. The other music video you should also check out is their song XXI Century Blood.
If you to care to see how they deal with more Metallica check on "Atlas Rise" Live at the Whisky a GoGO. It is a pure energy performance after a two hour workout on stage. ua-cam.com/video/fhhG5EiFiyA/v-deo.htmlsi=-wZTUXT_WGVANUtz Otherwise dive back into The Warning catalog, there will always be something there to grab your attention.
There Are No Let Downs... You Talkin About. Dany... The COMMANDER Ale The Crusher Of All Things Bass And Fashon Models And Then Ms. PUH PAU Our Young Queens Of Rock Are Clearing The Way As They Go Straight To The Top !!! PUH PAU !!!
Just to clarify, can someone confirm for me that it was Alessia Cara that received the invite from Metallica, and her team brought The Warning on board? She is a Grammy-winning artist in her own right, and yet always seems to get written out of the lore of The Warning's re-imagined version of Enter Sandman. As someone who prefers her vocal part and the bigger contrast in style of the music video version, I like to remind those who dismiss her vocal contribution in favor of the live Teatro CDMX version that the song might not exist without her.
Yes, she was asked first and then reached out to them. They are the ones who actually picked Enter Sandman and she agreed wholeheartedly knowing they covered it before. And although some fans may not always credit her part, the girls always acknowledge Alessia every time they perform it live.
The Warning nuevamente demuestra su enorme capacidad de composición e interpretación con su cover original de Enter Sandman el mejor tema del album de Blak List de Metallica
I knew you'd love this one. It's off the Metallica Blacklist album, where multiple artists have done covers of the Black album songs. Here's some numbers for ya. This is one of 53 tracks on the album, on UA-cam Music it's the 5th most listened song on the entire album, the most listed to version of Enter Sandman, it's been listened to 4 Million times, beating the next version of Enter Sandman by by 1.1 Million. That's also the studio version on the album, who knows how many more times it would have been listened to if this live version was on the album, as with a lot of The Warning songs, a well recorded live version often is better than the Studio version.
G'day World from TWA Perth Western Australia as enjoy R.D.O Tuesday after workin' roastin' hot W.E emptyin' bin's on Scarborough & Trigg Beaches + carparks 👍🙃🍺🦘 lovin' Life with D P A + The Warning Team helpin' provide Soundtrack i choose ☝️ Apparently they created this version fairly quickly as i was V.I.P Patreon back when this came out 🤔
I like this one better than the original too. I actually started liking the original because of this one. Not a big Metallica fan either 🌠🔥👍🌎🌏🌍🥁🎶🎯☠️💀🇲🇽🇺🇸🎸🕯️🙏🌪️🤘🌌🎵✌️🎼🎹⚡⚠️⚡⚠️⚡⚠️
LOL, surprise! You thought you were reacting to a cover but you got a legit The Warning song instead! One of my favorite comments ever was when someone said "It sure was nice of Metallica to write such a great song for The Warning!" 🤣
Old school Metallica fan, but damn. I like this version better. Recorded to the Metallica blacklist album. Track one. Side one. Album one. Yep. 🤟💯❤️⚡⚡⚡
Hey brother, I'm not sure if you do band documentaries - Anyway, it would be really cool if you could check out the Tidal Rising documentary from The Warning.
Do people watch reactions to that kind of thing? I guess I just figured people would want to hear the stars talk... I do not see how some no name chump like myself could add any gravy.
Such a great rendition of this song. I like it more than the original. Which for me has been overplayed, and probably my least fav from the black album. Rock on \m/ (TWA)
Metallica Who...This was Extremely good the first time and spectacular the 300th time... Metallica should cover a The Warning song.. it's only fair.. Thanks again, good job. See ya Tuesday?🤘🎶☮️
A masterclass how to remake a iconic song🔥🤘
Indeed !
The Warning is fearless, taking an iconic song like this and completely rebuilding it.

yeah, it is definitely not a cover 👍
@@WaldoKitty definitely not a 'cover'...a full reimagining of an iconic song. The Warning own's their version.

They did this in only ten days, writing, recording, with the Warning in Mexico and Alessia Cara in Canada, during the covid restrictions, so they had to record her part remotely.
This version is spectacular 🤘
Love the sound of that Gibson explorer. Yes this sounds darker than the original.
Released as a single, listed as the warning with alessia cara who did some of the vocals on the studio version with them as a collaboration
*Total Backstory:*
During COVID. Metallica wanted to do a charity project too celebrate their 30th anniversary of their *Black album.* The project is called *Metallica Blacklist Album.* They asked around artists to do a cover song from their *Black album.* Metallica told the artist they're allowed to do what they want with the song *EXCEPT THEY CAN'T CHANGE THE LYRICS.*
Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara was invited by Metallica to participate. The Warning got involved when a guy who works Internationally for both bands suggested both should do a collaboration. Alessia did her part in Canada. Warning in Mexico due to travel restrictions. The Warning had 8 day deadline when they were asked to participate.
*React to the music video.*
This song so far is only on the Blacklist album & a video game that didn't sell. *Maybe The Warning will release this song on their Greatest Hits album someday.*
Otherwise it's the first song on the over bloated *Metallica Blacklist Album.* Only because the songs are listed in order of the Black Album & then by alphabetical by artist. Cara is first of the 6 versions of *Enter Sandmans* on the Blacklist Album. Followed by 7 cover versions of *Sad But True.* That's just Disc one of four. *Metallica Blacklist Album* didn't sell well since it was very over blouted.
Alessia Cara & The Warning did perform this song live when Cara joined The Warning at the Troubadour club (second night) in LA during The Warning's headliner Mayday set in 2022.
Now you know.
What makes you say the Blacklist album did not sell well? And then give a reason why it didn't sell well? The album did make the Billboard Top 200. Wikipedia says it got "generally favorable reviews." Maybe you have different information? Just asking the question out of curiosity - I think most everything else you said is accurate and informative. 🙂
Glad you enjoyed this . . Its on the Black Album 30th anniversary album . .From invitation to do this till the time it was finished took 1 week . . Alissia Cara was in Canada , The Warning and producer were in Mexico. . Alissia and The Warning have the same international management . . Not 100% bit i think Alissia was asked to do a version but management put the 2 together . . Others may know for sure . .
Till the next time . . Take care .
Bye from NZ 🍻👍🇳🇿
The Metallica team was impressed with the TW version because when they were approached by Marvel Entertainment about using ES in an upcoming video game trailer, Marvel was recommended to use the TW version. The trailer came out a month before the album was released - ua-cam.com/video/Wz8Vw5tOf5M/v-deo.html - TW doesn't appear in the final game, only this trailer.
Isn't it an absolute masterful piece of genius!? The 'time crunch' (deadlines) and the distance and travel logistics with all people involved in the recording and making of the video makes it even more of a wonder.
This version of Enter Sandman is from the Blacklist Album recorded during the pandemic with Alessia Cara. The "Oh ah oohs" in the background is the backing track of Alessia's vocals from the studio recording. Bands were told to do whatever they wanted to for the song Metallica chose them to do except keep the lyrics the same. To me this is The Warning's song now. I really can't listen to the original Metallica version after this.
EDIT: They recorded this in a about a week to 10 days.
Fixed typo
Black*list* album 😉
you can't get disappointed watching and listening to ANY song on the Teatro Met concert
Thanks for this one. Your no BS reactions are what we like. What a great version! This got my wife into these ladies. Haunting for sure. Dark and eerie, too. Really enjoyed seeing you enjoy this surprising track. ⚡⚡⚡
A breath of fresh air, that's how The Warning makes me feel when playing live :-)
In the studio is where recent releases such as More and S!CK have left me confused with production, mastering and mixing decisions.
Every band finds a producer that understands, compliments yet enhances the band's signature sound e.g. Tom Allom for Judas Priest, Eddie Kramer for KISS, Martin Birch for Iron Maiden. For the Warning that's been 'David Bendeth', producer / contributor / mixer for the excellent and consistent Error album which includes Choke and other The Warning projects such as Enter Sandman
The harmonies are so good it makes this version for me. Great reaction DPA always deliver. 🤘⚡🔥
If anyone asks me to play Enter Sandman on my stereo, I will play The Warning’s version. I really love it. 🤘😎❤️⚠️
The warning the best band of rock 2023-4-5-6-7-8.........forever !! Legend !!
The Warning's rendition of Enter sandman, it's awesome and unique. TWA❤
one week... included mixing, mastering and video!!!!!!!!! In the full middle of pandemic period and with alessia cara thousands miles away from them!
Well, the video came later. Not many of the Blacklist songs had a proper video but it made absolute sense for TW to do one.
The Enter Sandman OMV is pretty neat, watch that for your own edification. If you’re looking for your next favorite song by then, react to Dull Knives from The Warning Cave (DeTour)It’s the video that got Lzzy Hale interested in them. No effects, no light show. Just three blistering, face melting rock and roll minutes. Oh by the way, thanks for the Smoking Snakes reviews, they are pretty cool!
You should check out the Enter Sandman video they did with Alessia Cara. That’s the version that’s on the Blacklist album
I prefer the live version a lotte more than the studio recording. The official video is very nice and well done. If you take in account that it was made mid pandemic with Alessia in Canada and The Warning in Mexico, it's crazy good. But this live is top!
This song belongs to them now.
You should give their Spanish song martirio a go..I think they did this version of enter Sandman in 10 days or something like that.nothing surprise me with these girls anymore.they are so talented
Excellent reaction
Thank you man.
They have done at least 5 versions of ES now. In Oct they did 3 shows with a string section from a symphony backing them.
4 renditions... original cover, reimagined w/ AC, reimagined live, reimagined w/ 10piece string section...
@@WaldoKitty Original live had Pau do the prayer, switched to Dany doing it.
@@phsjockstrapDon't forget that Ale has done the prayer live last year.
Excellent choice to ease back into after Choke 👍🏼
Dany, Pau and Ale understood the assignment. The song is available as a single on iTunes/Spotify and is part of the Metallica Blacklist album (4 disc set, or something like that).
DPA/TW and Alessia Cara certainly understood the assignment!
Alessia Cara is a Grammy winning Canadian Pop and R&B singer... they had 10 days to rip this rendition of *Enter Sandman* from the ether and make it a darker, more eerie, and a more haunting lullaby than the original metal version... this was done because they, and many other artists from numerous genres, were invited by Metallica to take one of the songs from the original "Black" album, keep the lyrics and change it up how ever you like... play it backwards, upside down, whatever... this was all for the 30th anniversary of the "Black" album... all the submissions from 50someodd artists were put on the 2021 "The Metallica Blacklist" album... the proceeds from the album sales are split 50/50 with half going to Metallica's "All Within My Hands Foundation" and the other half being donated to a charity of the participating artists' choice.
in the OMV, Dany (guitar) and Alessia share the lead vocals until they are in the three doorways when Dany takes over and Alessia does more of the background oooohs and aaaahs... the version they play in concert has Dany doing the vocals with a backing track of Alessia's ohhhs and ahhhs... of course Ale (bass) and Pau (drums) join in with their angelic harmonies in both... this is a fantastic reimagining of the iconic original... this 60+ year old rocker loves both versions of *Enter Sandman* but this one by TW and Alessia gets more airtime these days 😹
TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
I would not concern myself with a letdown after a TW song that blew me away. You may well find the next one even more to your liking. There's a saying that one's favorite song by The Warning is the one most recently listened to.
A lullaby for nightmares! First track of the Metallica Blacklist album. All done in just one week. Yes, that's how good DP&A are.
So enjoyable to see a reactor genuinely bask in the ambiance of a great number.
🔥🔥🔥🔥ROCK ON THE WARNING 🤘🤘🤘🤘
If you want to erase any chance of a let down after Choke, do Dull Knives next. There's a video for it from this show, but you really need to do the version from their home studio. The Warning Cave is in the title on YT. You'll know it when you see Ale's black leather jacket. While it probably won't eclipse Choke as a song for you, it is a great song and the performance is pure energy from all 3 of them that I know you'll love.
Great reaction! Thank you. Épico cover de un clásico
This could have been part of a Three-fer Thursday, with their 2014 cover, and the OMV version of the song, which has a few small differences than this one.
Let me know if you need more ideas like this (Four-fer Fridays, Six-fer Saturdays etc), and we'll have you pumping out dozens of Warning songs a weeks. 👍
Edit: Never mind, you already did the 2014 version. The rest of the offer still stands though.
😂
As you know, these ladies are going to smoke any song they play. It’s normal and natural for them, those are their standards. They are an elite band that doesn’t lower their standards. Their sound is quality, their talent is amazing, their shows are powerful and they are captivating to look at.
They themselves explained that the process was, very ingenious and practical from my point of view, they deconstructed the original and with this made a pop version, then they repeated the steps transforming it back into rock, and... Voilá.!
Only geniuses like them (and with their talent, of course) could come up with something so practical and effective as a solution due to the rush, don't you think?!
🤘😁✌️
An absolute masterpiece!
It took them one week between when Metallica asked Alessia Cara and she asked The Warning for help and they produced this and sent it back to Metallica for approval. This is on the Metallica Blaclist album, which is a 30th anniversary album to the Black album. The album features other groups and singers to do songs from the Black album. I believe this is the only song that was rearranged so much and it makes the song TW's instead of a regular cover.
BTW that is Alessia Cara doing the chanting on backing track and not Pau.
gr8 reaction ... it took them a week, what??? lol ... the song fits the lyrics now ... they did an epic thing with this song ... namaste from canada ... r0ck 0n ... twa ... \m/
YEEAAAA🤘😎
🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hermosa versión dé un tema icono del Rock, por nuestras Diosas del Rock para la Black List de Metallica, excelente reacción hermano, saludos y bendiciones desde Monterrey México 😃👍👍👍
It is so nice of Metallica to have written a song for The Warning 😊😊😊😊
Breathed new life into a worn-out classic.
The Warning = Alejandra (Ale) 🎸🎤+ Paulina (Pau) 🥁🎤+ Daniela (Dany) 🎤🎸 Villarreal. Three talented Mexican sisters. !!!🎵ole ole ole oleeee Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡. Greetings from Argentina.
At about 3:48, they are piping in backing vocalists from Canadian Alessia Cara, who they collaborated with on this song, upon invitation from Metallica for the Blacklist album. While a lot of Warning fans will tell you to only watch them live, their studio versions are always excellent, as is the version for this song, with Alessia.
Oh, everyone likes this version better than the original. If no other reason than it’s a breath of fresh air for a classic. & the studio/video version is almost a whole other version with the full Alessia vocals and Pau doing the prayer super creepy. They’ve also done it live with strings because why not! ua-cam.com/video/qFTUU8KPh-4/v-deo.htmlsi=Ld6KHhGmCrryUovr (fan-cam)
You will also like the music video. The behind the scenes of recording the Enter Sandmand for the Blacklist album is very good. Dany wanted to make this into a lullaby. This song is on the Metallica Blacklist album from September, 2021. The arranged, recorded, mixed and submitted the song in 10 days.
While live is always better, the video for this is pretty good. Alessia couldn't be there for that shoot either, so there are some projections of her.
This live version is better than the studio version for the Blacklist album. Just an incredible performance from the sisters.
💖✨🔥⚡🚀🤘🏽
It was a daunting task. Since they had already done it so many years before they had a head start. People already gave you the scoop so I won’t repeat. An enchanted version for sure.
Since this is on Metallica's Blacklist Charity LP, you do have options if you want to own the song. TW sells it as a single on download. Metallica sells the box set in both CD or Vinyl plus an MP3 download. Amazon has all of them. The box sets are pretty amazing. DPA did an unboxing of their box after Metallica sent it to them. The 7 LP set is done in alphabetical order for all the artists, and Alessia Cara & DPA was the first song, on disc 1.
You should watch their video of enter Sandman I thought it was brilliant
While The Warning is always better live, you should take a look at the studio version of this song which is on Metallica's Blacklist album, it's a collaboration with Canadian pop singer Alessia Cara. The other music video you should also check out is their song XXI Century Blood.
If you to care to see how they deal with more Metallica check on "Atlas Rise" Live at the Whisky a GoGO. It is a pure energy performance after a two hour workout on stage.

Otherwise dive back into The Warning catalog, there will always be something there to grab your attention.

Just to clarify, can someone confirm for me that it was Alessia Cara that received the invite from Metallica, and her team brought The Warning on board? She is a Grammy-winning artist in her own right, and yet always seems to get written out of the lore of The Warning's re-imagined version of Enter Sandman. As someone who prefers her vocal part and the bigger contrast in style of the music video version, I like to remind those who dismiss her vocal contribution in favor of the live Teatro CDMX version that the song might not exist without her.
Yes, she was asked first and then reached out to them. They are the ones who actually picked Enter Sandman and she agreed wholeheartedly knowing they covered it before. And although some fans may not always credit her part, the girls always acknowledge Alessia every time they perform it live.
The Warning nuevamente demuestra su enorme capacidad de composición e interpretación con su cover original de Enter Sandman el mejor tema del album de Blak List de Metallica
It’s on Spotify, not an album. Narcisista is the same.
It's on the Metallica Black Album, track 1. It's not on a Warning album.
The Metallica Blacklist album - available on iTunes, etc. or limited edition vinyl sets.
@@RussInCanada Yes song 1 on album 1 of the box set.
I knew you'd love this one. It's off the Metallica Blacklist album, where multiple artists have done covers of the Black album songs. Here's some numbers for ya. This is one of 53 tracks on the album, on UA-cam Music it's the 5th most listened song on the entire album, the most listed to version of Enter Sandman, it's been listened to 4 Million times, beating the next version of Enter Sandman by by 1.1 Million. That's also the studio version on the album, who knows how many more times it would have been listened to if this live version was on the album, as with a lot of The Warning songs, a well recorded live version often is better than the Studio version.
🤘⚠️🤘
🤘🤘🤘💥🤜🤛
G'day World from TWA Perth Western Australia as enjoy R.D.O Tuesday after workin' roastin' hot W.E emptyin' bin's on Scarborough & Trigg Beaches + carparks 👍🙃🍺🦘 lovin' Life with D P A + The Warning Team helpin' provide Soundtrack i choose ☝️ Apparently they created this version fairly quickly as i was V.I.P Patreon back when this came out 🤔
I like this one better than the original too. I actually started liking the original because of this one. Not a big Metallica fan either 🌠🔥👍🌎🌏🌍🥁🎶🎯☠️💀🇲🇽🇺🇸🎸🕯️🙏🌪️🤘🌌🎵✌️🎼🎹⚡⚠️⚡⚠️⚡⚠️
I personally prefer Dani doing the vocals over Alessia Cara on the studio cut.
This is electrifying, being live also.
LOL, surprise! You thought you were reacting to a cover but you got a legit The Warning song instead! One of my favorite comments ever was when someone said "It sure was nice of Metallica to write such a great song for The Warning!" 🤣
The Warning being The Warning.
It took a week ! Under a dead line to get it on the Metallica black list album.
Took a week to re-arrange, record, mix and master this for the BlackList album.
👍
♥♥♥
Are you sure it’s not a The Warning song? 😂
Old school Metallica fan, but damn. I like this version better. Recorded to the Metallica blacklist album. Track one. Side one. Album one. Yep. 🤟💯❤️⚡⚡⚡
Hey brother, I'm not sure if you do band documentaries - Anyway, it would be really cool if you could check out the Tidal Rising documentary from The Warning.
Do people watch reactions to that kind of thing? I guess I just figured people would want to hear the stars talk... I do not see how some no name chump like myself could add any gravy.
Such a great rendition of this song. I like it more than the original. Which for me has been overplayed, and probably my least fav from the black album. Rock on \m/ (TWA)
Metallica Who...This was Extremely good the first time and spectacular the 300th time... Metallica should cover a The Warning song.. it's only fair.. Thanks again, good job. See ya Tuesday?🤘🎶☮️
Martirio is going to knock you over.
