    You should be able to meet them, briefly.
    When they tour as headliners they normally have a meet & greet option when you purchase tickets online.
    It’s short and sweet but they are absolutely amazing to each and every fan that does it (they usually have a boatload of people to get through).
    Highly recommend.

    From drummer Paulina - Disciple is a song about social media, right? and how opinions are bought in social media and are fed to us in a way that we don't even know and how by like feeding ignorance and cultivating hate, like people gain a lot of power and money So that's what Disciple is about
    I have seen them LIVE 11 times and have met them 4 times. Aside from their music, they are just normal, sweet, intelligent, engaging, and fun-loving young ladies who are truely grateful and endearing to their fans.

    These sisters have reignited the flame for many old school rock fans, who had long lost interest in a genre that had become stale and predictable. They aren't doing anything new, but they are rocking hard, their songs are extremely catchy, and they are amazing people. They are the most improbable saviours of rock, but just watch them go.

      I'm a 56 year old rocker who cut my teeth in the late 70's, early 80's, and I love the energy these ladies put into their music. You can't help but get pumped up when listening to it. I've said it before, but it still holds true, the way these women write hooks and anthems reminds me of KISS in their heyday. Yeah, they had their gimmicks, but they also had a lot of easy to listen to and sing along to songs. And every member of the band sang.

I also think that Dani, Pau and Ale are each incredibly positive role models for young kids (hard work, dedication, drive, etc) especially young girls in this often destructive era of instagram and other negative social media. Prime example are the girls singing along from the front row during the Teatro performance of Animosity, another banger (b/c they all are). Viva La Warning!🤘🤘🤘

    The Warning have an interesting fan base. In the US and Canada it definitely skewed older when they were first gaining notoriety. ( Old Rockers in their 50’s and 60’s). However, they have started to pick up more younger fans. I saw them open for Three Days Grace in Canada. The TDG fans were mostly 30-50 year-olds and knew nothing of The Warning. It was amazing to see the “Holy Crap” response from them at the end of TW’s set. In Latin America, most of their fans are closer to their own ages. That said, they have big multigenerational appeal. I often see comments from Grandparents who took their grandchildren to see The Warning.

    • @RussInCanada

Later in the tour TDG invited Dany onto the stage to join them for their song “Painkiller”. They invited her on again when they were at the same festival in the UK this summer. I was wearing a The Warning ball cap at the Vancouver show, after their set I had everyone around me asking for info about the band. Some started to download their music while we talked… very cool.

    *Disciple* is one of their songs about social media and how it affects people in ways they don't even know...
    Dany sings the part of the "leader"... Pau sings the part of a "follower" or "disciple"... basically they're speaking about how people take what they see on social media and believe it, whatever it is... in this way, certain groups out there control the narrative and what is happening... this is a cynical song telling people to think for themselves and not believe everything they see or hear...
    *XXI Century Blood* , *Z* , and *Kool-Aid Kids* are three others that also speak about social media... the 1st one, XXICB, has an OMV that tells a story... it and the director were nominated for (and won?) several awards when it was released in 2017 when Dany was 17, Pau was 15, and Ale was 12 😹

    Thank you for your reaction to TW, mainly for spreading their art and supporting them.
    You're right...
    They have a formidable innate talent, each one of them. Innate but with practice taken to the sublime.
    Despite their youth, they already have a lot of experience on their path in addition to their great preparation since they were children.
    Their attitude, discipline and will to achieve their goals are leading them to great, well-deserved achievements.
    Daniela, Paulina y Alejandra…
    They are still on the road to the top, but with too much potential, enough to think it will be inevitable.
    Furthermore, the volume of quality that each of their creations implies is great… and the number of songs that carry said quality is enormous, which for me could be “The Warning label”.
    I’m sure that each of their creations is subjected to a meticulous quality process before finally seeing the light…
    And not only in the technical aspect, but we have also already proven that they have an exquisite taste for good music that emanates from them when they become inspired and creative.
    Added to all this is that they are surrounded by an excellent family and fraternal team totally committed to their project…
    And they have a fan base, “The Warning Army”, tremendously loyal to them that is decisively involved in supporting them because they have deservedly earned it for being incredible and surprising human beings.
    Knowing this will give you a much better perspective to better value Dany, Pau and Ale, and maybe you will understand that TW is not just a band of talented girls who make good songs…
    No, it's about music, really art with the brilliance of a "masterpiece" created and performed by three genius performers from an early age who have been developing and evolving by leaps and bounds.
    The beauty of their art lies in its simplicity.
    Each of these amazing rock masterpieces must be appreciated in all its dimensions and then be surprised again that they are creations of those who have wonderful talent but who, due to their age, still have much more talent to develop.
    They are already admirable but their potential increases exponentially as they achieve success.
    As long as all this continues to flow with this equation they will soon reach the top of the world where they deserve to be.
    We're always looking for more from our favorite band of all time.
    Thanks and regards from México!! 🇲🇽

    You right on the men part, but in actual numbers, their fan base reaches the masses from 6 yrs old to infinity, I’m a 63 yr old baby boomer and it’s all about the music, as a boomer we love that the girls have gone back to the roots of rock and roll and remind us how good rock and roll really is. I’ve said this before as a boomer and musician I’ve seen everybody come up in the last 50 yrs and the only band that comes close to the Warning was a young Van Halen. At this point it’s pretty equal, but I think if the Warning stay true to themselves and don’t fall to the corporate BS of the music industry and continue to give them the (indie band style)up yours finger attitude. But I’ll be honest here, I’ve seen some of their tour dates for 2024 and their going back to Europe in the summer and their are several stints were they will be playing 3-4 days in a row, I know they hit it hard this yr on their US tour with the girls getting sick several times and I’m sure fatigue contributed to that, as a Warning Army boomer I have never seen a band that can mainstay a pace like that for very long time with out crashing and burning… I hope that Dad, Mom, and Rudy see this and reevaluate the thinking process, I mean I know the girls want this and I want it for them but not at the price that they become another one of rock and roll casualties… TWA ⚡️⚡️⚡️

      Liliac doesn't even come close to The Warning!

      The Warning is untouchable as far as I’m concerned they just keep getting better and better if you get a chance to see them live you will be amazed at the talent they have

      A young band from my home town (Freeze The Fall) has patterned themselves after The Warning. The videos of their originals get 1200 views. Their cover of Evolve is at 25,000 views.
