One of the things that really impresses me about Dani's guitar technique is how her left hand cradles the neck on the last joint of her thumb rather than in the pit between the thumb and the first finger. Aside from looking very stylish, it gives her a lot more "reach" above the fretboard than most players.
I've heard Dany say she has tiny hands. And so, she's adjusted her fretting to work for her. (Meanwhile, those with Hendrix-sized hands can use their thumb on the low e-string when barring chords.)
The choice of putting those armonics in the song is not very good for my taste. Second she made a mistake, not a tecnical issue. Third the acustic was ridicolous, the volume was too high and MR LARSEN was always ready... I was there, the song is amazing and Dany is a beautiful and human rockstar.
I love how Dany has never been afraid of volume from day one and her sisters tolerate her...:) Her composure playing those single notes while singing when her guitar is being so naughty is truly professional. Grace under pressure. I credit their Dad, a sound engineer, for getting mics on everything and shaping their sound through the years. Especially Pau's drums. He definitely has an ear for rock and roll.
Totally… i was watching a video of them doing a live stream concert in their basement and her guitar was so frickin loud that it wouldn’t stop feeding back but it was total rock and roll… and she had control over it as always
@@don-music There's one practice session or something where she accidentally hits her in ear volume to max that's funny too. If you're not stuffing every molecule in the room with sound it aint rock and roll.....
Dany was the Queen of the Feedback Scene to start this show. It seems to get a bit better later on. That must have been driving Ale nuts…lol. I couldn’t believe there were no eye rolls.
I literally fell asleep watching this video last night and woke up with it in my head. So i had to finish it before i started my day. No feedback dreams that i remember though.
HAHAHAHAHA I love that I'm your sleep machine. I actually had no feedback dreams either... which is odd, because I've experienced it live enough to have flashback seedlings in my mind waiting to sprout. ewe. ok, so I fail at metaphor... heck, is that even metaphor? not an english teacher either LoL
I've never heard a song with guitar feedback as prominent as this and I'm always fascinated to see how Dany manages it live. The rhythm section in this song as usual is fantastic and the beginning drum part always reminds me of the opening of the song That Thing You Do! from the Tom Hanks movie of the same name. That movie is a low budget movie from the 90s but is one of my all time favorite movies and they play that song over and over throughout the film. This song is one of the few The Warning songs that my dad likes and I think it's cuz of the groove and that it's not as heavy as some of their other songs.
what a musical intensity..as you said, they grow on you, a song that's "it's ok" on first listen become the "choice"..Pau's doubles and triplets sneaking in, and Ale's walking,, so complimentary to the whole..
I have been to see a lot of bands over the last 4 decades or so. Most of them have had an issue with the guitars at some point when they are pushing hard. You will not reach the edge until you approach it. That's what rock and roll does, that's why I love it. Thanks Don. ❤✌🤘
EXACTLY! I was trying to express that at some point in my long analysis.... I'm happy you are on the same page as me. I mean, let's consider this: I was comparing her challenge with feedback to two of the most legendary singing guitarists/musicians/songwriters: hendrix and townsend.
totally.. the expression on her face as she looked up to the feedback gods in heaven like "COME ON ALREADY!" was priceless... it is what it is, and to me it doesn't detract particularly... I was laughing with them about it, because, as Pau said, "that's rock and roll, baby." (or words to that effect, from my memory LoL)
Controlled chaos. It appears the feedback is how Dany chooses to play Amour live. Check out other Amour live performances. It's not a bug, it's a feature. ⚡🤘😎
Awesome reaction for an awesome song. Funny moments when Dany try to manage the feedback of her guitar . She seems a little suprised at the begining, but she stays very pro. Agree with you regarding Ale's bass sound, wich is better here than in other songs. But the mic volume for her voice is still a bit too low IMHO. Question of taste may be !. Btw, love all the harmonies with 2 or 3 voices. Have a nice day, Don 🤟😉, Gilles 🟦⬜🟥
thank you for stopping in to say hi Gilles! Yes, I think most of us are in agreement about the mic levels.... but it IS there, just in a curiously surreal way... every time pau and ale do harmonies in this concert as a pair, their levels are just very low. I'm beginning to think it is a conscious choice in the mixing for live venues. Why? There are probably reasons.... but it wouldn't be my decision if I were the producer of the live shows.
yea LoL she is... BUT that's pretty dang endearing. I'd rather see her fighting with her guitar live to put on an amazing show than someone playing flawlessly without the intensity and emotion of Dany.... any day any time.
@@don-music It is their humanity that pulled me in and has kept me there. I am not sure how many hundreds of performances I have given, and none of them have gone perfectly. That is life on stage. How you handle it. How you decide to go on. How you adapt and overcome. Those are the traits of great musicians, and these women are as good as I have seen about handling live issues with a smile and huge skill.
Ratatouille : La gran inspiracion de Pau y The Warning ,para el tema de AMOUR, amor toxico, pero amor, hasta en Fances , Pau un genio capas de crear una obra maestra al ver una caricatura ,solo Pau puede hacerlo
El problema del feedback , en Amour ,es ya recurrente en otros conciertos, Y si para la tranquilidad de Dany,simplemente esas 2 notas Armónicas las graban en una pista? Solo es una sugerencia. ❤❤Dany
Yea they could… but she can solve it with adjustments to her pedal board while playing it at concert volume in a sound check. Hopefully she will get to do that sometime
One of my Faves from TW. Such a beautiful hard hitting in the feels song. The nature of this tune, has to be a challenge for Dany, every time they play it. Imagine Lalo's nerves! LOL Ale always comes in on time, always! I do think she was turned down to low in the mix here, as I am used to her thunder being more prominent. Maybe it was just in your recording, I have to go and listen to the original again. (Have you seen the 2019 Grill Master HEB concert yet? If not check it, it's bad azz. ua-cam.com/video/B23Pn8qCa1w/v-deo.html ) Oh....... A Pro film crew was hired (by the organizers not the band) to record this "Private" KickStarter performance, and why they asked the crowd not to film any of it, as not to spoil what your seeing here. They waited 3 long years for this night, and the entire day of festivities was all planned by the Fans themselves.
One of the reasons I’m a Patron is the fact that they perform as humans. Having performed for 20 yrs professionally you make mistakes The trick is to continue and finish the song. The girls are human. Shit happens.
and they are BETTER than so many ohter acts in those circumstances.... this is why I'm not pulling punch about it. I've watched reactors pretend they didn't hear something happen.... and I mean, why? This is what makes this a REAL LIVE PERFORMANCE! When I perform live I'm much less accurate than in the studio... but I'm also MUCH more enthusiastic and emotional and driven by the crowd... and I prefer my own live recordings to anything in the studio. When I point them out with the Warning, I'm doing so out of respect for their honesty and their professionalism... either at pushing through, or even at them laughing it off. The one exception.. whcih was pretty dang funny honestly, was a cell video when Pau's mic went out during evolve, and she clearly was an Angry Drummer. But I mean, I love that also... it's awesome to see that driven and intensity, and she pushed through it.... although she destroyed a drumstick in the process ;-)
@@don-music just to be clear Don, my comment was not a complaint. I have no issue with your reaction. One of my favorite comments is from Dany during a concert. Her guitar quit working right at the beginning of a song. Her tech came out and took it backstage to fix the problem. Dany quipped to the audience that “it wouldn’t be a Warning concert if something didn’t go wrong”.
I believe you are the first one who made a remark about their teeth and her mum being a dentist. Absolutely no wonder that their teeth are in best condition despite they always are snatching unhealthy sweet things.
I am? wow! LoL..... that was one of the first things I think of when I see close ups of them... "man, those teeth are AMAZING", and "oh yea, their mom!". No, I don't have a thing for teeth... LoL... I just admire that every last detail of their visual presence happens to be well cared for, and it really helps with the overall presentation.
Thanks for all the description of the feedback and guitar. I love that they did this show and recorded it for those of us that could not make it. The performance was really enjoyable, and different from other shows. That is live music for you. I love any live performance, warts and all. I have to admit however, that I am disappointed in the mix throughout this show. The performance is great, but to my ears, the mix is no where near as good for the full band as the Teatro mix was. This song really points that out for me. As you pointed out, I think that Amour has perhaps the best Rush-like, musically interesting, bass-drum work in their entire catalog, especially during the "am I worth it, plead for me" section. And it feels quite buried behind the feedback, guitar, and Dany's vocals. Yes it is there, but it is behind the guitar and vocal in the mix. As you said, Ale's vocals are almost non-existent. To me this recording feels like two legs of The Warning's three-legged musical stool are not equal. Amour is one of my favorite tracks off ERROR because everyone is doing so many musically interesting things, but this recording does not convey that to me the way the album and other live recordings do. Just my $0.02. All that being said, I really like the feel of this performance of Amour. It is a bit darker with a different energy than the album for sure. I like that variation. I just wish the mix was showcasing all of them more equally because the writing and this performance deserve that. Thanks for your analysis Don. I had not picked up on the 6th down harmonies before. Yes, the vocals are so good in Amour.
cool, yes that's really interesting. I need to sit with the studio version more again.... now that this has opened my ears to some of the live moments, I will be checking to hear the differences in the studio.. partly in arrangement (Because overtracking) and partly because of a vastly superior mix in the studio where I can focus on the rhythm section and bg vox... whoever actually sings them in the studio. Thanks for the thoughts on this... really appreciate it!
This song always seems a bit problematic in live performance because Dany has to play that feedback harmonic in the pre-chorus to try and reproduce the effect on the studio recording. Having watched most of their live performances of this song, it doesn’t work about half the time, and I find it detracts from an otherwise great song. Wish she would come up with a way to make it sound more pleasing and consistent.
agreed.... I honestly think she needs a guitar like her old manson wiht the sustainer pickup..... she could do that effect much more quietly with better control. she could have any of her other guitars modded to have that kind of pickup in the neck position, if she was willing to do that...
One of the things that really impresses me about Dani's guitar technique is how her left hand cradles the neck on the last joint of her thumb rather than in the pit between the thumb and the first finger. Aside from looking very stylish, it gives her a lot more "reach" above the fretboard than most players.
I've heard Dany say she has tiny hands. And so, she's adjusted her fretting to work for her.
(Meanwhile, those with Hendrix-sized hands can use their thumb on the low e-string when barring chords.)
Uncontrolled chaos. Sometimes when they play this it goes fairly well, but it is always a challenge for Dany to manage the feedback.
Yea it seems that way here
The choice of putting those armonics in the song is not very good for my taste. Second she made a mistake, not a tecnical issue. Third the acustic was ridicolous, the volume was too high and MR LARSEN was always ready...
I was there, the song is amazing and Dany is a beautiful and human rockstar.
🤘rock and roll forever 🫨
The first time I heard this performance, it was a WTF moment. Nice to hear your "feedback" on this performance. 🤘🤘😁
hahaha I see what you did there ;-). Awesome!
A feature of ths band is how they cope with technical issues. They stay calm and keep going.
Totally... I love how Dany looks up at the feedback gods with a look of WTH, laughs, and moves on. love it!
Dany is the Queen of the Guitar scene!!
Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
Awesome!!!!! She is!!! Rock on
I love how Dany has never been afraid of volume from day one and her sisters tolerate her...:)
Her composure playing those single notes while singing when her guitar is being so naughty is truly professional. Grace under pressure.
I credit their Dad, a sound engineer, for getting mics on everything and shaping their sound through the years. Especially Pau's drums.
He definitely has an ear for rock and roll.
Totally… i was watching a video of them doing a live stream concert in their basement and her guitar was so frickin loud that it wouldn’t stop feeding back but it was total rock and roll… and she had control over it as always

If you're not stuffing every molecule in the room with sound it aint rock and roll.....

It seems to get a bit better later on.
That must have been driving Ale nuts…lol. I couldn’t believe there were no eye rolls.
yea I'm wondering if Ale told them to turn Dany's guitar off in her in ears LoL.. she was oddly calm about the raunchy out of tunes feedback noise
I literally fell asleep watching this video last night and woke up with it in my head. So i had to finish it before i started my day. No feedback dreams that i remember though.
HAHAHAHAHA I love that I'm your sleep machine. I actually had no feedback dreams either... which is odd, because I've experienced it live enough to have flashback seedlings in my mind waiting to sprout. ewe. ok, so I fail at metaphor... heck, is that even metaphor? not an english teacher either LoL

I LOVE that movie!!! I need to watch it again, thank you!!!
Cool about the groove thing and your dad… i can totally understand that
@@don-music That's awesome! I have the entire soundtrack for that movie on my iHeart Radio playlist. One of the best movie soundtracks imo.
what a musical intensity..as you said, they grow on you, a song that's "it's ok" on first listen become the "choice"..Pau's doubles and triplets sneaking in, and Ale's walking,, so complimentary to the whole..
TOTALLY! I still have this song even after working in a music store all day
I have been to see a lot of bands over the last 4 decades or so. Most of them have had an issue with the guitars at some point when they are pushing hard. You will not reach the edge until you approach it. That's what rock and roll does, that's why I love it. Thanks Don. ❤✌🤘

At 15:07 Dany's definitely trying to stifle a laugh!
hahaha you might be right! LoL
A little wobbly, but as long as you stick the landing (and Dany did), it was great.
totally.. the expression on her face as she looked up to the feedback gods in heaven like "COME ON ALREADY!" was priceless... it is what it is, and to me it doesn't detract particularly...
