Way too many interruptions for me, let the song roll for @ least a minute or two! I'm out. 👎
Welcome ⚡ ⚡ ⚡
Right away, as a drummer, you noticed that Pau is a theatrical and flamboyant drummer. Saw a reaction yesterday with the Foreigner guitarist Bruce Watson, who also singled out Pau immediately, saying she's the real deal, making it look effortless and natural. Even my non-musician daughter commented that the drummer was her favorite when she watched their Automatic Sun performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live. Couple comments: 1) the riff part of the song after the chorus sounds like half-time like you said, but it's actually 7/4 or 7/8 if you count it out; and 2) the fill you re-watched and said even a simple triplet fill is cool - I believe it's actually a pair of sextuplets over the toms and kick. See this "Pau cam" closeup from behind the kit: th-cam.com/video/vvJhJTqy79c/w-d-xo.html. Nice reaction and subbed for more.
❤✌🤘⚡🔥
Hey Middle Age Mike. This is coming from Old Age Pete. Great Reaction !! But I must say that I’m not surprised. It’s a mystery to me just how these girls are not a household name by now. I’ve never seen a single unbiased reactor not have a shocked opinion when first being introduced to The Warning. Their live performances are phenomenal. Their talent, stage presence, is as good as any band I’ve ever seen in my 75 years. This concert was in celebration for their 10th Anniversary, if you can believe that. Pau, the Drummer was also voted The 2023 Drummer of the Year by the Drummeo Awards Group. I’ve never seen a better Performer behind a Drum kit.
Thanks Mike for the reaction! Looking forward to more Band-Maid reactions! Cheers!
Saw them live in Boston in September, it was unreal.
Friend, you have been warned. This is what we the fans say when someone hear them for the first time and is impressed/like what he/she saw and is intrigued and wants to know more. And if you do want more of The Warning they do have a song called More. The puns write themselves.
THE👑🤘⚡🤘RORH
Band Maid is one of my favorite bands. Discovered them in 2019. Been lucky enought to see them a few times when they came to the US for a tour. Another Japanese band you should react to is Nemophila. All female band as well. I bit more hard rock than Band Maid. Excellent as well. Saw them when they came to the US in 2022. Awesome live band. Here is a link to a live video for their song "Revive". th-cam.com/video/xlIbcjqN5ao/w-d-xo.html
TWA in the house! You’ve been WARNED! 🤘🏻
Thanks to the solid bass Pau gets to play "lead drums" on a regular basis... and she does. And BTW, if you want the fullest taste of The Warning, I suggest the Dust-to-Dust/ Dull Knives video from the same concert. In it you get to hear both lead singers, a world-class jazz bassist and see a full range of Dany-faces.
I would recommend pau at 10 years old playing Kelly Clarkson , at the least watching is a must
"That halftime" is actually in 7/4. Just a bit of their songwriting skills 👍🏻🔥
You couldn't have gotten yourself a better christmas gift this year! Seeing the number of comments you probably received many background info and great suggestions already so mine is to watch it all, including interviews, aftermovies etc. You'll find out that these loveable/badass rockstars are some of the humblest and genuine artist in the industry. Oh and go see them live when you get the chance! As good as these recordings are it can't compare with experiencing it yourself. Enjoy the dive!
Welcome on board! This band is a gem! Truly worth of checking more. Greetings from the Nightwishland a.k.a Finland 🇫🇮
YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED !!!!! The Future Of ROCK from Monterrey Mexico, The Villarreal Vélez sisters: Daniela "Dany" (guitar, lead and backing vocals, piano) The Lightning riff maker. Paulina "Pau" (drums, lead and backing vocals, piano, and also songwriter for the band) Drum Bombardment from the heavens (Huge Pau Fan here). Pau won the Drumeo 2023 Rock Drummer of the Year award. Alejandra "Ale" (bass guitar, piano, backing vocals) Thunder Goddess. She plays a Spector 5 string that she helped design, it's called Ale's Inferno. She also has a blue Spector 5-string...fire and ice. Ale's been playing Spector since age 13, and signed with Spector at 15. The Villarreal Vélez sisters were raised in Monterrey, and all received training on various instruments at an early age. At some point in their childhood, Daniela and Paulina had selected guitar and drums as their primary instruments, respectively. When the youngest of the three, Alejandra, selected bass guitar as her primary instrument at about age 7, the sisters decided to form a rock power trio in 2013. They learned to play rock songs, often via the Rock Band video game series, and posted videos of their performances to TH-cam. In 2014, 12-year-old Paulina was profiled in the women's drumming publication Tom Tom Magazine. The band first gained widespread notice later in 2014 when, at ages 9 through 14, their TH-cam video in which they performed Metallica's "Enter Sandman" went viral among rock music fans, eventually earning more than 20 million views. The video received attention from Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett, who offered particular praise for Paulina, saying, "The drummer kicks maximum ass!" PS: This Band is exceptional in Live setting, The Energy is through the roof !!!!! ⚡Viva The WARNING⚡ NWSU/FloorFan/Epican/Ayreonaut/TWA/PauFan🤘😎🤘.
Damn good reaction sir 👍🏼🙏🏼
Queens of Rock. This is one of their encore songs, fan favorites, and yes, you can't help but rock to it. Welcome to best rabbit hole you'll ever fall in, enjoy your ride, 11 yrs and 4 albums of songs to discover and plenty of listeners who will be there to view your reactions. Rock on Mike
Ok, I'm just finishing up commenting, liking all the other comments, liking the video, subscribing.... Y'know, feeding that YT algorithm is hard work! [wiping brow] But seriously, the sisters of The Warning have put in so much hard work for over a decade now, honing their performing and songwriting skills to a razor sharp edge, and all of their efforts paying off. Just keep on reacting to them to see what myself and everyone in The Warning Army already knows. The Warning is an adrenalin shot in the arm to 21st century rock music. 🤟⚡🤘
All three sisters can take turns singing lead. In some of their songs, each sister has a solo part, like a vocal game of tag. You have witnessed the drummer Pau’s ‘scream of destruction’, a highlight of Evolve. She often takes command of the crowd giving instructions in English or Spanish. In one concert she orchestrated the fans to do the ‘scream’ on cue!
Great reaction, will check out more of your stuff, for yourself, check out this song at the MTV video awards, another kickass performance of this song
A nice review, and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge. Check out The Warning's Poland Rock concert. Look how this band won over the crowd after starting at midnight! Plus songs from their new album "Keep Me Fed": th-cam.com/video/VFviibKyyE8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3wJYBNBht7kd1LHB
This is a pigeon hole that you shall follow to the end. I'm totaly convinced that these girls will end up as one of the great legends one day. They are simply amazing in everything they do.
Great reaction from you and I'm excited to know that if you keep reacting to more of this power trio's material they will soon be your favorite band too, inevitably!! That's for sure... That's the warning!! Because as you get to know TW better you discover that their music is steeped in various rock styles but invariably it’s pure rock. And I continue to reaffirm my humble but very personal opinion that their structure, their cuts, transitions, rhythm changes, modulations, choruses, pre-choruses, drum attacks, their endings... All of it is masterful. The great beauty of their art is in its simplicity but all of this always seems to be at the right time and in the right way, bordering on perfection, with sophistication predominating. There could always be other options, but the ones they choose seem to be the exact ones to create a masterpiece of art. Also impregnating everything with a natural touch of inevitable sensuality that only adds improvements and with the feeling, sensitivity and passion of their blood, race and culture. Each of their pieces can be very different, but always with all the flavor of TW. It’s very clear that these sisters have no limits. They have that gift that only belongs to the geniuses that appear among us every certain period of time. This is the youngest veteran band in the world of rock!! Without forgetting that they are only three, yes, but three authentic geniuses in their specialization. Melodically they are the best, without a doubt, because they are the queens of the hook, the riff, the changes of tonality, the contagious rhythms, the catchy melodies, the sublime voices, the unbeatable harmonies and the ambiguous but deep and powerful messages. And this happens song after song… INCREDIBLE!! All of the above is exponentially believe it or not, in each of their live performances. Individually there is also a lot of material to tell about the band, about this power-trio of sisters who are the new "masters of Rock": The Warning ⚡ For now I subscribe to your channel because I hope to see many more reactions and opinions from you, Mike, about my favorite band of all time. Thank you and greetings from México!! 🇲🇽 🤘😁✌️ .
Mike the Pigeon hole refers to BAND-MAID not the Warning , although BAND-MAID has a song Titled Warning , also BAND-MAID and the Warning did a collaboration song titled Show Them .
@RogerChance5309 told me to mention the carrier pigeons and I screwed up in the title calling it a pigeon hole. Ha Ha
The Queens!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
❤️⚡🤘 TWA swinging through to show the love!
You have been warned! ⚡⚡⚡
You said you’re a father of five and producer go check out the Young band called Liliac doing an original song called not afraid the extended. Their dad is their manager and producer. They’re an independent band.
Great reaction Mike ⚡⚡⚡ New sub I LOVE THIS BAND !! ✌️💖🎼🎶
You can just stick reacting to the 23 songs from the Pepsi Center show. Bro, I'm a top-tier live FOH audio engineer of 30 years. These gals put on the best pure rock concert I have seen in decades. No joke. This show is one of the best pure rock performances, and I rarely get the chance to say that. They don't seem to write any bad songs. They are all catchy, well written and performed to perfection. As an engineer myself I'm fairly jaded with the state of rock music these last few decades. These gals are the saviours and future of rock music. Just be aware, they write for the song, not their egos. So you won't see any extreme solos or over-playing. They can do it, but they concentrate on what the song needs; no baggage or gratuitous sweeteners added.
Hey middle-aged Mike, this is middle-aged Joshua here. I've just gotten into their music a few months ago (though I've known about them for years), and they rock out man. Their songs, like this one, are catchy and fun. While many of their songs are not always insanely technical to play, these ladies are more than capable of playing highly technical stuff. Their songwriting isn't for lack of skill. Enjoy sir.
Love The Warning! I definitely recommend reaching to each song of this concert (do Black Holes and Breathe together). Better yet, react to the songs of the concert at the Teatro Metropolitan in August 2022 first, then do the Pepsi Center concert from October 2023. You will not be disappointed! PS - also just posted is a 2024 concert from Poland featuring many of their songs from their latest album Keep Me Fed.
Thank you and welcome. Subbed for more of The Warning. TWA
Great to hear a Fugazi reference! Much respect. The Warning are brilliant songwriters and performers. Their catalogue is so diverse that even a few songs won’t give you a full sense of their range. But their Pepsi Center concert as a whole will give a nice showcase of why they’re a special band.
These young ladies actually did dare to dream. And to go along with those dreams they have put in hundreds of thousands of hours into what they love doing, becoming in the process the greatest power trio on earth. Watch out, everything they do is addicting….You Have Been Warned! LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!
Paus fills are more involved in the official video.
Halftime? 7/8
It was a first listen. Not counting the time signature. But there was a time signature shift that felt like half time in the moment.
The Warning “..is phenomenal…baddest gals in the land ..🤘..that drummer was rock drummer of year 2023
Solid, thoughtful, detailed reaction. Thanks for taking the time & I look forward to your next reaction to The Warning
Welcome to The Warning! The Warning Army will be here to welcome you!
This particular concert is brilliant - great sound, great mix, and great visuals, so you might want to just start from the beginning of this show with 'Disciple' and just go on from there. Have fun falling down the Rabbit Hole.
Great Reaction! Get ready for this ride! Suggest DUST TO DUST/ DULL KNIVES from this same concert next! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED! Subbed for more of The Warning
11yrs content and music ❤⚡⚡⚡🎶🤟🏻🤘🤟🏻
Subbed for more of The Warning. 🎄🤘🤘🤘🔥🔥🔥🎄
man, this band could be one of the best musical and life influences for your kids. Check their history carefully, they are probably the most documented band on the net.
