#musicreaction #songreview #thewarning #thewarningrockband
The Warning did a faithful cover of Enter Sandman in 2014. They’ve done that. Metallica saw that and were impressed. They invited The Warning to REWORK Enter Sandman with Canadian Singer Alessa Cara for the 30th anniversary Blacklist album. Two different genres of musicians tasked by Metallica to rework Enter Sandman. Keep the lyrics, but turn the song upside down, inside out, make it their own. This was what Metallica wanted.
Exactly, rework, not duplicate. Got that Zep?
No Disrespect but most people disagree. Metallica wanted the music reworked but to keep the words the same for the 25th Black list album. In 2014 they did great cover especially for very Young kids... What an amazing Band.
I'm a huge The Warning fan, and actually a huge Metallica fan as well. My initial reaction to this song was very similar to yours. I didn't like it at all. However, I set it aside and cleared my mind. I went into it the first time with expectations of how it "should" sound, and they didn't meet those expectations.
I let it sit for a day or two, and came in with an open mind thinking of it as a new song. After 2 or 3 listens, it started growing on me, and I learned to love it.
Think about the balls it takes to take one of the most overplayed songs by one of the biggest bands in the world and put a whole new take on it to go on said band's 30th anniversary album. In the end, they understood the assignment. Take one of our songs from this album, put your own spin on it and send it to us. That they did, and they paid homage to the original in the end. Any decent band can do a faithful cover of this song. Not many can make it sound brand new in a week's time.
For me it was love at first sight in the music video. The intro surprising and fantastic with Alessia, then it was a tiny bit too long in the outdoor scene. But when they went in and then stood in the doorways, building it up, then I was totally sold and when the original riff came I just dropped my jaw. So perfect! I think it is best to see the music video first. Then you understand the live version better.
I did, indeed, almost click off. The only thing I can say is that a thundering herd of folks (including metal heads and first time reactors, not just rabid TW fans) would fundamentally disagree with your take on it. That is all. Appreciate the honesty, at any rate.
Metallica enjoyed it . . Thats really all that matters . .
@@rogerreed905 "That's really all that matters..." I think you meant to say "Nothing else matters." ;)
Song re-constructed per Metallica direction, and Metalica loved it. I respect their opinion over yours
This was a cover done for the Metallica Blacklist album which was a collection of covers requested by Metallica for the 30th anniversary of the Black Album. It features vocals as well from Alessia Cara in the original single. Metallica specifically requested that artists keep the lyrics but otherwise completely change up the song. I much prefer Dany's vocals in the live version to Alessia's in the single. They are more intense; Alessia's were even softer in the studio version. But the Ohhh ooohs in the background were the one part of Cara's vocals they kept for the stage version to keep her presence there. I believe they generally took the approach of keeping it more of a lullaby to pay homage to the original conception of the song, which was just that. Not every song will be for everyone, I get it. I like this one a lot, but I also don't completely love the drumming for some reason. But there is a good reason why it is SO different from the original.
thanks for letting me know!
*2014:* The Warning did a straight up cover of Enter Sandman as kids. When they were mainly a cover band. That's the version they played.
*2016-17:* When they added original songs in place of covers. Enter Sandman ws eliminated.
*2018:* The last cover the Warning played live as a band was Metallica's Atlas Rise at The Whiskey. It's their farewell of their cover band days.
*During Covid* The Warning dapped into covers since music industry was shutdown.
*2021:* Metallica was doing a charity project celebrating their 30th anniversary of their Black album called *Metallica's Blacklist Album.* Where Metallica asked 50 plus artists to record a cover of a song from the Black Album. The artist was free to do what they want with the song *EXCEPT THEY GAN'T CHANGE THE LYRICS.* Metallica asked Alessia Cara. A pop singer from Canada. A man who works for Cara also does work for The Warning. He suggested both sides do a collaboration. When The Warning got the okay from Metallica. *THEY HAD 8 DAYS TO COMPLETE IT. WITH CARA IN CANADA & WARNING IN MEXICO.* Covid travel restrictions.
The Warning decided to start their version where Metallica ended theirs in the nightmare lullaby. Then bring the song back to the beginning.
*Warnings Live Version:* The Warning took out Cara's pop vibe and gave it their signature Warning vibe.
*RECOMMENDATION:* Take a look at the original music video of The Warnings Enter Sandman with Alessia Cara.
Omg…seriously…. Wow…. You’ve got no sense of excellent music… ask Metallica what they think…. For now I’m outta here,,,, slaps forehead in disbelief….
What is your issue with Zep having a different opinion?
An opinion he is perfectly entitled to hold. Granted he did not have the information as to why this sounds like it does as opposed to a straight cover, but THAT is irrelevant as far as him liking it is concerned. Just because YOU and the majority of others (myself included) think it's great does NOT mean anything where another's opinion is concerned.
I actually appreciate Zep's honesty.
About the only reactor I've come across that has a problem with every Warning song that others really like. Maybe you're just a straight metal guy or something? That's all I can figure.
If you are more pleased by strictly rendition of a cover just check this one, a cover of Metallica "Atlas, Rise", when they where 18, 16 and 13 years old

As you can tell by now, there is a significant back story to this version of the song. This is not your "fault" but, that said, this is a good example of reaction channels not researching a bit before they react in order to have what is thought to be a "real" spontaneous reaction.
You had a real reaction but it was to your expectation of a standard cover and the Warning is no longer a "cover band".
I don't think it hurts a reaction to familiarize yourself with the artist or the history of the particular song then you can "react" to the song itself. Anyway, not to worry, read up on the Black List album and then you will get my point.
Take Care

This is the version they did for the Metalica album.
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.
The only thing I can say is that: it's not an obligation that you like everything, you have the right to say "I don't like it" and that's ok…
Let's just say that, Metallica loved this version (with Alessia Carey) so much that they made it the FIRST song on the Blacklist album.
ALSO -- in honor of your new look, i must direct you to a song called _If Your Dad Doesn't Have a Beard, You've Got Two Mums_ by a (now defunct) band named The Beards.
you're welcome.
Perhaps a bit more research on the context of how the song originated would change your perspective.
TW were really the only ones to actually complete the project as Metellica requested for the Blacklist charity album.
To be clear Metallica didn’t want cookie cutter covers.
The way TW did this is actually brilliant and you’re definitely entitled to your opinion even if you came into it with a different perspective.
this does change my perspective for sure! I am still not a massive fan of it, but I understand why they did it now.
While my opinions differs from yours, I appreciate your honesty and critique without being a jerk about it. Some reactors I can't say the same about. I personally love this version and I think knowing the backstory of how/why the song was rearranged probably helps drive my opinion of it.
It was insisted by Metallica that they play the music differently and keep the words the same but change up the Music. Most people disagree with your opinion expressly after they find that information. But that's just fine. You should go listen to their original cover they did when they were kids it's an amazing cover by kids it has over 25 million views on UA-cam. Great Reaction
And they did a spectacular job making it their own.
A critique on the song AND no beard... boy you are looking for trouble.
haha not making any friends today
@@zepreacts No you not!
It seems others have already pointed this out, but I'll reiterate it again. This song was done for the Metallica Blacklist album, a commemorative album of covers from the original Black album. Metallica asked many artists and bands to pick a song and cover it. But they specified they did not want a straight cover, but to put your own spin on the song. Turn it inside out, upside down or even mix it up, just don't change the lyrics. I have heard the entire album and only a couple of bands changed the songs they chose significantly but the only band that really recreated the song completely was the Warning and Alessia Cara, they did what was asked and more and did a brilliant job.
Also Alyssa Cara was first asked to do the cover, but she was unsure she could do it justice, so a member of her management team who also represented the Warning suggested a collaboration with The Warning and Metallica agreed. Alessia is a Grammy award winning Canadian pop singer, so her pop influences are evident, it fits the song as does The Warnings rock style, this is a true amalgamation of different genres and styles and a complete re-imagining of the song as requested by Metallica themselves. The Warning and Alessia were the only ones to really do what they were asked on that album with almost every other song being an almost note for note straight covers with a little flair here and there. It is fine if you don't like the song, not everyone will, but you should appreciate that The Warning and Alessia Cara did what was asked of them and did it damn well.
This version has evolved a even more since they originally released it as Alessia can't be there to perform it with them all the time, though they do use a track of her voice with the Whoa's that you don't seem to like much. I suggest you check out the original video (which by the way The Warning were also the only ones to get a video done as well) with Alessia Cara, done while the lockdowns were in effect with Alessia in Canada and The Warning in Mexico. Anyway that is the background and although it may not change your mind about liking the song more, at least you can understand why they did it this way and why it works, for most of us anyway 😁
I've always thought the Whoa oh oh’s are done as the original guitar riffs, I could be wrong.
The Warning = Alejandra (Ale) 🎸🎤+ Paulina (Pau) 🥁🎤+ Daniela (Dany) 🎤🎸 Villarreal. Three talented Mexican sisters. !!!🎵ole ole ole oleeee Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡. Greetings from Argentina.
Let's talk without knowing...lol.
This is a better version than the original for my taste.
No te tienen que gustar todas las canciones, pero a mi me encantan
My 2 cents: You have the right of not liking it, it is totally fine. The small issue is that you critizice based on ignorance, could have been good to do 2 mins research before reacting.
Did you compare The Warning to Imagine Dragons? Seriously.....
Hey, you didn’t bash. It was a good honest reaction. This was a collaboration with Canadian popstar Alessia Cara and she was probably responsible for those Whoa oh oh’s. Her vocals are included in the backing track of this live performance. This was also done during Covid and remotely between Canada and Mexico and they had a week to write their reimagined version
And they did it masterfully.
I didnt recognize you, thought I was on the wrong channel......😂😂😂😂😂😂
Look at it that way... while Metallica warned you to run away from the nightmare, the Warning is luring you in... And that's in keeping with Metallica's request to change the music and make it their own. On that front, it's a massive success. Now that version may not be to everybody's taste and that's OK too. Keep it up, mate !
I totally disagree with you on this song but that is ok as each of us have different opinions. Cheers.
I just knew this would be entertaining as hell.
It was reconstructed for Alessia Cara doing lead vocals. it was designed to accommodate here singing style. it would have been a disaster with a heavier version with her singing. check it out you will see why it was structured that way
ua-cam.com/video/9tKQgesCcTc/v-deo.htmlsi=cp9FiaocJhoQuesY
Wow!! Even Metallica liked this version. I've seen a lot of so called music "experts" act like this is American Idol!! Plus if you're doing reactions, and you've got adds interrupting your videos, enough said!!
Anyone has their own taste, and I think he motivated why he did not like it and gave pros to the 1/3 of the video he liked. I think it is totally fair. And in a year or so he might even change opinion 😀. BTW - I did not see him call himself an expert.
Regarding adds, yes that is kind of newbie. There are several ways of avoiding that.
* You can get an account.
* You can have some add blocker.
* You can download the video and play it off line.
But I have seen older videos of very good reactors where they had the same problem. It takes time to get everything right.
At least he had good audio quality. There are lots of reactors that have totally unlistenable audio.
@@rolandkarlsson7072 I feel that he should have at the very least listened to the whole song before making a judgement on it.
@@brentravnsborg2782 Maybe, but he listened longer than he usually do, just to be sure how he felt. You cannot always do exactly correct in all moments of life. And he did give props for the parts he liked. And, for a song to feel good for you, maybe the whole song needs to feel good. Songs where I like a small part but dislikes the rest never is added to my playlist.
HOW DARE YOU!!!.....shave your beard lol.
Seriously though, I have no idea how you don't like this version of Enter Sandman. It's almost universally loved by TW fans and its a gateway song for new fans too. Honesty is always preferred but I'm very perplexed.
Metallica themselves would disagree with you since this is the first song on the Blacklist album. They told them to rework the song, turn it inside out, upside down but to just remain true to the lyrics. They did that fantastically!!!
Subbed when you started reacting to TW❤🤘
I like this version quite a lot. So tired of the original. You look 10 years younger without the beard.
I think this is a brilliant version, and so do Metallica. Different, yes. More poppy, yes. I do understand your wish of it being harder earlier. And ... that would also have worked. But I prefer it as they did it. Personally I think these girls are geniuses regarding composition and arrangement. They made this version in one week! Both arrangement and recording.
One comment though ... there is a music video of this, the one they made in one week, together with Alessia Cara. It is more consequent than the live footage. There you see and hear more of Alessia Cara. And you see the dynamics better and maybe understand the buildup better. A warning though, it is even more poppy. But I think that makes the buildup so much more sharp and evil.
Yes, for me is different, but also is better than original version
Sorry, I like your reacts in general, but TW is not a cover band. And this song has a story and this version is one of the best "revisit" I have ever heard.
Metallica put this The Warning take on their 30th anniversary Black album, so there's that.
Your reaction to it is interesting. Metallica loved it. See what happens when you cut your beard off!
. Metallica must of liked it as its track 1 side 1 on the Blacklist album . .
You need to remember theyve been a band for over 10 years and while newer bands do a cover when theyr about 20-25 years old . . . The Warning were doing covers as kids . . . Ale doing Muse bass rifts at aged 9 .
Covers for them are old hat. . .
Bye from NZ🍻👍🇳🇿twa
No worries, if it's not your thing, it's not your thing. If you listen to the other covers on Metallica Blacklist album, of which this one is first on the album, you might agree that most of the other covers are pretty much note for note with a few stylistic changes. The Warning took their directions to Metallica to make it their own and this version completely re-imagines it and is one of the few truly unique covers on the album. Still, I hope you don't write off The Warning based on a cover. Their original music is much better than Metallica and is a fresh, Gen Z look at the Rock genre. Check out Evolve from their performance at the 2023 VMA awards. If you thought this performance was good, Evolve is levels higher and an amazing song.
I respect your opinion, however, metallica asked for bands to reimagine their songs and make them their own. They were one of a handful of bands who did renditions instead of covers. So they did exactly what was asked and metallica loved it enough to make it track one on the album. But to each their own we can agree to disagree, thank you for praising what you liked even when you dislike the song as a whole.
It just seems like you're very unsure about whether you like the band/music as a whole. I went through to your old reactions on your other channel, as well as watching these and if you don't necessarily enjoy it or have to nitpick & find something wrong with every song; why continue reacting to them? I understand you're meant to have an opinion but if it's not your thing.. it's just not your thing. That aside, the reactions are appreciated, lad.
TW is my one of favorite bands and TWA brings a lot of views to YT reaction channels, so that could be part of why he is reacting to them or just trying to find his favorite song… but i think he likes some of their stuff with honest reactions… plus TW is the most viewed on this channel
I do really like the band. They are probably in my top 10 even top 5. I'm just picky af 🤣 even my favourite bands there are some songs where I just tear them to pieces. It's just my style. Plus for the sake of videos I want to add substance by trying to find things to talk about and sort of think out loud. Too many reactors just clap and say everything is great to farm views. The warning fans literally made my "UA-cam career" and I want to give the respect to them by being honest and opening the floor up for discourse, at the risk of them no longer liking me, rather than rinsing them all for views. I hope that makes sense 🤣
You have never liked The Warning, even if your comments are very bad and lack objectivity, you should not react to what you don't like even if TW gives you many views, you need to be more humble and more positive in your comments even if you don't contribute anything
how presumptious of you
Please get your ears checked.
I do not mind you giving your honest opinion, but has most of the time it just doesn't fit mine at all, I do not see the point in continuing to give your channel a chance, so we will have to agree to strongly disagree on what is important in good music and leave it at that.
Gave the song 100 present and you a thumbs down will never watch you again!
Your reaction is honest love it but it shows you lack of artertistry, they are not Metallica also shows me you lack knowledge of the band and the story behind, and for your knowledge it's not a cover and whether you like it does not matter what counts Metallica loved it the made it its #1 song on the Black album 30 anniversary. learn how to play music before you criticism
What is wrong with this guy lol
If I were you I would just stop listening to a band I clearly don't like. Unsubbed.
This version is from The Metallica Blacklist Album 2021 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Metallica_Blacklist
They didn’t intend to cover it faithfully, been there done that, they have re-imagined it and frankly I prefer the ladies’ version. The original is boring and repetitive. Appreciate your honesty, in my opinion you have got this one wrong.
This cover is better than the original in my opinion and I’m a metallica fan!
I respect you do or don’t like something but you are kinda confusing in what you are saying you like that they made it their own but it would have been better if it was more like the original not being ugly here but doesn’t make sense to me enjoy and have fun
I mean that I appreciate in what they are trying to do, by being more unique with it, but what they do doesnt land for me.
@@zepreactswhy keep reacting to TW if don’t like what they do, and I’m not trying to be mean i promise 😂 you’re definitely gonna get your views up though ⚡️
1st and foremost: yes, the original riff is iconic ; on that front, it's basically the modern-day _Smoke on the Water_ .
HOWEVER, afaic, this slowed-down haunting atmosphere actually fits the *theme* of the song better than the original composition (i.e., how it _should've_ been done to begin with).
(personal bias alert: i have a quite complicated relationship with this song, and pretty much was already sick of it as of 25 years ago)
that being said ... to the people saying "just ask Metallica how _they_ liked it" -- it shouldn't have to be explained how/why that's a bit of a fallacious argument.
/2¢
They were told by Metallica not to do a cover . This is intentional . Dude your in the 1 percent that don’t like this remake .
Not a cover. Never meant to be a cover. Do your research....
No
Not in agreement but respect.
Greetings from México ❤️🇲🇽
Maybe do better research on songs before inserting shoe in mouth. Metallica loved it and it is number 1 song on the blacklist album
in my opinion researching a song to then talk about it is a review not a reaction. I enter in completely blind to purposefully not let external factors sway my opinion. In this unique instance I do respect a lot what they have done. And its objectively good, i know that. its just that I do not like it that much. I know I am in the minority in that opinion.
@@zepreacts The thing is, Metallica asked them to do it that way. That makes a very big difference. They only had a week to do it all. They rewrote it had to include Alessia Cara in it and get someone to fly to Canada and record Her parts and then record it all. 1 week. Do yourself a favor and watch the MV of it.
Totally re-imagined version of this song...and most of us get that. Been a Metallica fan for Decades....this is better. So Sorry...😎😎...not sure what you are listening to. TW/DPA
Welp, if you don't like this version, that's your preference, but then I question your evaluation skills.
Gotta admit, a hairless Zep is a little disconcerting. But I'll get over it.
Did you start another channel?
You already reacted to "Error" a while ago.
Yes! this is a new channel that focuses on reactions given that my other channel name is more associated with other content. This reaction series is to run through there current live performances as I had not seen anything really of them post 2020
You have the right to your opinion and I have the right to disagree. I think it is one of the best covers of a rock song.
Interesting take - to all the Warning fans and TWA members out there, remember that ART IS SUBJECTIVE. Its OK to not like something - keep it respectful.
I reckon you'll get a bit of flak for this one mate, but as much as I was dismayed by your comments (I am/was) - this is your opinion based on personal taste and I get that. DO NOT THINK OF THIS AS A COVER - rather consider it as a re-imagining, or Enter Sandman 2.0 if you will. The original was a form of lullaby with a hidden meaning around Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) and has been mentioned a number in interviews with Hetfield. TW's version fits more into the lullaby theme as it's slower in parts (but quicker in others) and less violent (musically), and with the harmonies, almost ethereal in its tone and meaning. As an entry for Metallica's 30th anniversary of Metallica (the Black Album), The Blacklist (2021), the only instruction was to do anything they wanted except mess with the lyrics. Basically, TW reversed the song with the intro being the outro and vice-a-versa all the while respecting the song and Metallica.
Now onto you :) Stay Honest - maintain integrity. If you don't like something, say so and give valid reasons (no guitar solo is not a valid reason - TWA knows who I'm thinking about here) - this is my advice to anybody on anything that is subjective. You did that which is why I have no issue - you are respectful, again something I appreciate, and for a new reactor, taking on The Warning can be a task especially if you want to be honest (some fans can be vapid pests but most are like the girls - understanding)
Cheers from OZ 🦘
Why don't you listen to the whole thing before you decide. My reaction to you is why is this guy so arrogant and joyless.
