The explorer was a surprise gift from lzzy hale when on tour with the warning, given to dany on stage during a guitar change… one of the greatest moments in dany’s life. Not what dany would choose but she rocks the guitar out of love for Lzzy
There are videos of Lzzy Hale appearing between a song, kneeling and presenting the Gibson Explorer to Dany on stage. Dany playing the guitar for the first time perfectly. You can see the effect of the audience enthusiasm to each sister. Dany’s face just comes alive. Ale’s slightest flick of the hair and shrug of the shoulder can elicit roars from the crowd, and she knows it! Pau takes command of the crowd like a boss, but the crowd has often made Pau tear up because of their enthusiasm. Your big smile and bobbing your head to each The Warning song, keep doing what you’re doing.
Dude great reaction and thoughts! Producers like you and me always have other ideas… but it is what it is lol This is one of my top 10 the warning songs, from my favourite album, Queen of the Murder Scene
Unfortunately Poland Rock Festival blocks videos from their show. Usually you’re good with anything posted on TW’s channel, which posts a lot of media anyway
A few have mentioned that the Explorer that Dany is playing was a gift from Lzzy Hale ( which it was) but in fact there is a whole backstory there. It was actually the fulfillment of a promise that a much younger Lzzy made in 2006. Early in Halestorm’s career, they were opening for Shinedown, Lzzy broke a string mid-show, and had no replacement. Jasin Todd, then guitarist with Shinedown, handed her one to use. After their set she went to return it to Jasin. He told her that the guitar was hers, he had bought it as a gift because she was such a fresh inspiration to him. She asked what she could do in return. He told her to “pay it forward, someday when you find a young guitarist who inspires you, do the same”. Sixteen years later, in Dany, Lzzy saw the opportunity to fulfill her promise. Dany has promised to do the same someday.
I never get tired of hearing this story. Lizzy Hale is a rock legend, getting that gift from her had to leave a powerful impression on Dany, I have no doubt that a talented (and fortunate) guitarist will be the benefactor of a similar gift in the future.
The title is Ugh because they had hell writing it. Every time they would try and get it right they would just say UGH!!! So that ended up being the title!
As far as live goes The Warning ladies say they love performing live, that it makes what they do worth it. I think that they have so much experience (even though they are still quite young) and practice so hard that when they are on stage it almost becomes automatic for them...
It's not their style to go off. AS is a fave of mine. It is also their favorite from the KMF album and their favorite to play live. "Ugh" is off of their second studio album "Queen of the Murder Scene." Say what you want musically and instrumentally. I've heard a little Cattle Decap on WSOU Seton Hall Pirate Radio. Not too familiar with them but they do go heavy and hard. I'm going to suggest an older song from a concert they performed in 2015 in front of their school. The song is "River Soul" live @ Liceo. They performed this song for David Ellefson, who was one of their music instructors and Alejandra's bass instructor when they attended the Berklee College of Music summer session in 2015. Some trivia about "Ugh": They said in VLOG it was the hardest song for them get right on the "QOTMS" album. They went through some 20 versions with different lyrics, melodies, etc. before finally settling on this one. In fact they were still finishing the song while they were in the studio recording. Two songs were created from all the throw aways from "Ugh", "The One" and "The Sacrifice", both of which are tracks on "QOTMS." "Ugh" started with a riff on guitar. Daniela was playing around in their home studio, "The Warning Cave", when this riff just came to her and they built the song from there. The song was going to begin with the riff on guitar but they switched it to the bass. Also, this was originally written for Alejandra's 4 string bass, so she had to make adjustments for it to be played on her 5 string. When they were happy with the song and it came time to name the track, they couldn't come up with an appropriate title so they left it "Ugh" because every time they went to work on the song they would utter, "Ugh" out of frustration.
This band had their 10,000 hours in when they where 13,15, and 16. Paying attention to every detail. With the help of their team of people, of course. They played in front of mirrors. What kid does that? Superstars 🤘
It makes sense that you are noticing the difference in songwriting as the girls have grown up. This track was still written by children and they really struggled to finish it, that's why the title. The next automatic sun, will probably come in the future... as that is currently the favorite song of the band
The weight of Dany's original Gibson Les Paul was one of the reasons she changed guitars. She is only 5'2" or 5'3" so she is a small person to support the weight of a heavy guitar. That's what she said was one of the reasons she said she likes PRS because they are light.
*Ugh* *Ugh* is the 3rd song on the "Queen of the Murder Scene" (aka QOTMS) album released in 2018 when DPA/TW were an independent band... QOTMS is a concept album that tells a story from the first song to the last... hearing the album out of order makes it hard to follow the story... like reading a book's chapters out of order... two other original songs, *The One* and *The Sacrifice* , were spawned from *Ugh* ... *Ugh* was the working title because it was a hard one, they really had to work on it, and they actually wanted to shelve it... thankfully their father kept after them to complete it... they were like "ugh! do we have to?" and *Ugh* stuck as the official name, too... the result is great! this is one of their songs that you might want to think twice about playing when you are driving 😹 Fun Fact: one of their songs has/had the working title of "Gracias"... "Gracias" is short for "Gracias, K-Pop" which is a salute from them to the K-Pop genre which has some influences on their sound and style... when they are playing, sometimes Ale will ask which song is up next and she'll get the answer "Gracias" which she knows that song by instead of its official song title... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
Dany uses a Big Stubby pick from Dunlop - 3mm. She says it is more comfortable than thinner picks. She showed this on the Digital Tour Bus channel where she explained her guitars, pick, pedal board and amp th-cam.com/video/kMPWxinxmoI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qxcEe_qbTk6jQW02
she used to... apparently she now uses various picks... the one she used in the "You Oughta Know" cover wasn't a stubby at all... the one in that cover was quite bendable 😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
@@WaldoKitty From memory she got started on the big stubby by "borrowing" a pick from Ale. Ale commented somewhere that she always puts her picks up but when Dany "borrows" a pick it is hard to say where it will show up. 😅
@@lonelywind3511 yep... as i wrote, that was several years ago... take a look at the "You Oughta Know" cover video they made at the SiriusXM studio... in the closeups of Dany's guitar pickups when she is strumming the strings, you can see the pick she is using there is not a stubby... here's a link with the timestamp... th-cam.com/video/GDlhPlavlUQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FGbDeuMHhIEipByw&t=163 i think she has also mentioned switching up in a recent vlog made within the last few months but i'm not sure on that as i watch so much of what they put out... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
@@WaldoKitty I know she has switched though I think now it depends on the sound she wants what pick she uses. I am easily amused by the three of them and I got a kick out of Ale talking about Dany getting her picks. I don't know where that video is anymore. It was just a little aside, probably somewhere on patreon which is something I really seldom even look at anymore. Just when I was first learning about them I watched a lot of their vlogs and their monthly chats. Haven't even logged in for them for quite a while. But it was one of the few times that I actually heard Ale be a little irritated by her sister. Just a funny sibling thing to me.
The Pol'and Rock festival show was filmed by a Polish TV station that holds the copyright and enforces it pretty vigorously. There are always seem to be a few folks who aren't happy, but as you say most of us are just happy to get your thoughts. While no one is required to like everything, a considered explanation is always appreciated. Pirates! Heehee. 😊"Ugh" is the lament of a girl who has a crush on a boy who doesn't return the feeling. "I don't want to understand, I just want to hold your hand." It's off their 2nd album, writeen when they were teens. Other songs from Teatro Met concert are off their third album, while "Automatic Sun", "Sharks", and other recent songs are from their fourth album. Each album had a different producer. The Warning goes on stage intent on having fun. It's obvious that they do. And if someone messes up, they tease get teased about it, even in the middle of it. And the fans love it. They use backing tracks and are up front about it. "Automatic Sun" is the band's favorite.
The guitar is actually special made with all the things Dany prefers (strings, humbuckers...) and gifted to Dany by Lzzy Hale mid show as TW was opening for Halestorm. Lizzy was so inspired she told her band they had to practice some more because The Warning was so good! Fun fact. They wanted to scrap this song because they didn´t feel like it would mount to anything, but their father made them work on it and then they all said "UGH" and worked to the end. They tried to make it longer but it did not work, so they let it be what it was. In the work with this they came up with two more songs.
If you want to see how it feels to them to have thousands of people sing along, watch Pau do Black Holes at the Pepsi Center. See how she reacts when 8000 people sing a song along with her, that she wrote at 13. Not metal, not rock, just a young lady at a piano laying it all out on the stage. Even if you don't do it on the channel, watch it in the whole concert video along with the following Breathe. It is an amazing moment.
If you do react to the song, "Error," be sure to watch how Ale bounces between using her fingers and a pick back and forth several times. It's a fun tidbit in that live performance because she wants it to sound like the studio recording how she did it there. Ale starts playing bass with her fingers, then grabs a pick and plays for a portion of the song that way until she tosses it away to play with fingers again. Then she snatches another pick to play for a short bit and then she quickly "palms" the pick to play with fingers again and then quickly reproduces the pick from her palm to play with pick again. She has to do the "slight-of-hand" palming thing with the pick because she doesn't have time to grab a fresh one. She said it isn't truly hard to do, but it always makes her a bit nervous that she is going to goof and drop it. It's the song that flips between her using a plectrum and her fingers more than any other.
Great reaction! 🙏 Don’t get those negative comments, everyone is entitled to have their opinion and I think it’s interesting to hear what you have to say about a song or performance. 🤔😳 I think “Z” or “Disciple” would be great songs for the next video. “Z” is one of the few songs with a Dany solo and “Disciple” is such an high energy song…. 🔥⚡️🤘 Grtz from 🇳🇱
"Queen of the Murder Scene" is a concept album released in 2018 when Ale was 13, Pau was 16, and Dany was 18. The album tells the story of a young woman’s descent into obsession, murder, and madness, exploring her internal struggle between light and darkness. "Ugh," the third track on the album, captures the protagonist’s growing frustration and helplessness as her unreciprocated love becomes overwhelming. She feels trapped by the intensity of her emotions, unable to suppress them, and the song reflects the internal tension building as she struggles to control her feelings. According to their vlogs, the band had difficulty finalizing "Ugh." They experimented with different structures and melodies, but none felt right until they stripped it back to its simplest form. The title itself was inspired by their frustration during the writing process. Despite the challenges, the final version of "Ugh" captures the chaotic energy they were aiming for and became a key moment in the protagonist's journey.
Great reaction. The Warning have expressed many times in interviews the charge they get when they hear their audience singing their songs and even more so when they're in a foreign country and everyone singing in English or Spanish when they do their Spanish songs
Like your reviews. I’m an 8 yr fanboy of The Warning and don’t care if you criticize or do a difficult critique. Some people can’t handle it if you don’t support their preconceived opinions. Forget the haters and do what you do.
She uses a 3.0mm "Big Stubby" Dunlop pick. Once you try one you'll understand her picking style. It has a unique feature that is hard to explain until you try it. But I highly recommend every guitarist that likes to solo try it once.
You should watch this song from the “Rebel Lounge” in Atlanta. Black and white. Sorry to the person who shot that video who’s name I forget. It’s one of this bands best videos IMO 🕊❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Their Dad encouraged them to keep working on the song, as they were having trouble finishing it. UGH was said in frustration, and somehow it stuck for the title. From the 2nd album, Queen of the Murder Scene. Dany doesn't solo a lot, but she has some. For a guitar solo ,check out the song "Z" , from Pepsi Center CDMX 2023, or this same Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022 show. Btw, Pol'And' Rock videos can clear in a couple days and be posted. You may have to dispute, I've seen other channels have it clear, the copyright claim will stay, but the vid will be postable.
The poland festival was a fundraiser for a hospital in Poland. Some reactor are donating all thier proceeds to the hospital. The groups that played didn't receive money for playing .
Awww… hell no, bro! You'll say what you will. I have no problem with it… either way! I like this band for my own reasons. Getting mad at you would mean I'm trying to like this band for yours! Thank you for sharing!
Hey you love Ghost…..brilliant and you’re beginning to enjoy the Warning, I first heard them two years ago. Saw them support Muse and the following day saw them in a small venue (800 people) in London….both times awesome…..a great band…and a brilliant review!
I suggest Apologize, from same album as Automatic Sun. It’s heavy as well, a bit more progressive tho. Apologize along with Automatic Sun and Escapism ara my favorites from last album. The only thing is that they only have played it live once, at their last show, so you won’t find a good video of it yet. You will have to react to the production lyrics version. That song is going to be presented more and more in the coming months.
Very few, if any of The Warnings songs are long enough.. most reactors go "it that it.. I want more". But instead of a handful of songs at a gig, with some of them like a stuck needle trying to extend too much, TW give you song after song leaving you wanting even more after a 90/120 minute set. And they must have chosen the right route as they hook everyone who discovers them
Art, by nature, is subjective. No two people will have the same opinion on music. Then you add individual musicianship and experience which shape those opinions. So if that means you don’t like a song like I do, it’s cool. There are several songs by TW that I don’t care for (e.g. MORE) that others love.
Even the most diehard fans think about changing things up a bit. More solos, more Pau leads, less production, more piano, longer songs, etc etc. It’s cool. That’s what opinions are. 🤟🏼🎸🥁🎸🤟🏼
A lot of Warning fans wish the ending was longer to this song. The song was named "Ugh!" because they had a really difficult time trying to come up with an ending to the song. At least, that is what I have read from people more "in the know" than me.
You should try the intro song from this concert called Z . One of my favorites. That and Queen of the murder screen are their more metal type songs from their earlier albums
Most of The Warning songs are alternative rock and he's more into metal. Only some of their songs are hard rock like Queen of the Murder Scene, Dust to Dust, Dull Knives, Automatic Sun, Error, Sharks, Apologize, Disciple, Choke, Narcisista and Evolve.
I hold my pick with three fingers too... yeah, we're weirdos... and you are right, James Hetfield plays that way too. Dany doesn't... she picks with two. At this point, she was playing with those insanely thick (3mm) Big Stubby picks from Dunlop... they even have an indent where you can put your thumb. She's crazy, though... those picks are FAR too thick to play rock with, in my opinion. She has since (since this performance) moved to a thinner pick and even commented that she wished she did so sooner. I think her solos have improved since then.
That Explorer was actually a gift from Lzzy Hale when they were on tour with Halestorm. Dany plays with it, especially when they do "Enter Sandman" live, but it is a bit heavy for her and she has back issues. Dany also used to play with a Les Paul and moved away from it because of weight, amongst other reasons; remember that Dany is a petite woman. I think the Explorer has since been sort of "retired" from live performances... for one, it is just another guitar to transport on tour... taking up room, but I think the heaviness was a factor in her not using it live recently.
I agree that both the outro and the into could be stretched. Dany plays James Hetfield style with downstrokes, but unlike James, Ale is the timekeeper. They may find their way into more metal, but they are Maiden style prog metal, if you want to put them into the metal world. Un-fun fact. The Warning have trolls that follow them just to be jerks. They have nothing constructive to say. They're just sad little incels. If you are ever at a metal show in Atlanta, I might see you. Caught Jinjer on their way through. RIP Trevor from Black Dahlia Murder. Good dude, great band. Metal forever, but TW scratches my old rock love. ❤️⚡🤘
The thing is we "musicians" appreciate going "Ham", but TW sticks to studio click tracks and backing tracks. Every live performance is therefore identical, year in, year out. It fits the intended audience. IME, there is nothing better than a good song getting some extended tweaks. It's more of a unique experience and that's what I hope for in a live performance.
Given that the ladies have all said that "Automatic Sun" was their favorite from Keep Me Fed , its entirely possible that they may write more in that direction. But it really depends on what Pau is vibing on when they get around to writing the next album. Since they enjoyed writing with outside folks so much it will also depend on who Lava and Rudy come up with. And do they use Anton again or pick a new producer. Again Lava and Rudy.
Great reaction !! :)) One of my fav songs from TW. Check out the drum outro on Unmendable ... This one is going back a few years ... (off their first album) Unmendable - THE WARNING - LIVE at Lunario CDMX th-cam.com/video/UHzUjACrf1A/w-d-xo.html
Bro , keep it 100, for better or worse . The warning fans like myself understand not every song is amazing , I don’t like a handful of their songs. They definitely are not prog , my favorite warning song is escapism , you like automatic sun give that a listen
Shock, Horror, that you should have an opinion of your own! Imagine that! It's as if the critics haven't listened to Kool Aid Kids. Just keep on doing what you're doing.
I heard that, Pau doesn’t have enough pick up under her ride, her bell hits are never heard. I noticed it awhile back and I can’t figure out why…I’ve seen here hit that bell many times but I did hear it clearly in one MTV vids and it kicks ass…
Most times a partial block, and sometimes a block, are confined to Belarus and Russia. Look deeper onto the copyright infringement by hovering over the copyright column in your video list. They are also often of no consequence to your channel = zero warning.
I’m the one who commented on Cattle Decapitation, listened to their latest album. Vocals are still lost on me…. Oh well, we are different minds listening. The music did invite me to write my own lyrics…. Which I find interesting…. Let me know if I’m full of shit! Entering the Atmosphere I’m here Circling earth Object in the sky Vessel in conjunction I’m a weapon Caught in the night sky A light in dark Mistaken for a star Venus in the horizon My weapons armed Arming the mind I circle ready for the fire Fire of the atmosphere A ember in the night sky The flame of our true existence Entering the atmosphere Burning across the stars My sparks of entry Laid across the horizon I’m a falling star Wishing for your salvation A comet of ice facing the end I enter the atmosphere Ghost of our future dominion The past is absolute Our future is our faith The ones just now entering the atmosphere
Since you keep bringing it up... Perspectives. For the most part, fans are following the videos. A smaller percentage may be your followers and may be interested in your criticisms of music that you react to, but by far, it's a transient audience of a fan base that are just following the videos to hopefully see someone get as excited as they are about their favorite band(s). While I haven't personally gotten upset with your comments, I did find some to be unnecessary.. Like, who cares what you would have rather done with a transition to the chorus or whatever. The fans watching love it as is. You have a whole bunch of videos with less than 100 views, whereas the warning videos are in the thousands. So, (with a few exceptions), the fans aren't here for you the reactor, they're here to support you in your musical discovery and share in that excitement of their favorite band. So consider that you're not giving a presentation to a generic audience on music theory or song writing where you may compare and contrast or whatever... you're speaking to the actual fan base. There are channels that do some fantastic analysis of the warning songs already. Like Phil Zero, and various vocal coaches without resorting to low effort, "i would have done it like this"
@@rockdariff I mean, it comes across as an off-handed and unnecessary.. Low-effort in comparison to say a PHil Zero analysis of their music. (you should watch one or two) it's a different style of reaction. But again.. Like, let's invite Taylor Swift fans to the house for a party, then then make comments about what we don't like about her music or what we would have done differently. It's probably not going to go over very well. lol You can do analysis/breakdowns, etc if that's what you want to do. But, IMO, trying to mix that in with a reaction video is probably going to go as it has been. Upsetting to some.. which leads to you addressing it at that start of multiple videos now. You seem to be as caught up by the reaction to your comments as the people are to you making them. So what do you do? Keep bringing it up? Change your style? Ignore it? *shrugs* I only brought it up, because you did.. again.
@ well saying it that way I was invited by some to check out the warning, all the tracks I check out react/review are requests from people who visit the channel and like how I go about making vids…and i read every comment and like I say most people are really kool and I learn new things but you saying Im low effort compared to other channels is the only issue I have…I never attack anyone I just speak from the knowledge I have and the likes/dislikes in my taste of music
@@rockdariff I think you misunderstood what I said. I didn't say your videos were low effort. I used to make content/vlogs on another channel.. I understand the effort it takes to put out videos and put yourself 'out there'. The context of my 'low effort' comment was directed solely at your criticisms (or your opinions) that you mentioned some people have taken exception to. Here is what I said with context. "There are channels that do some fantastic analysis of the warning songs already. Like Phil Zero, and various vocal coaches without resorting to low effort, "i would have done it like this""
@@rockdariff Most fans are of course here to hear what you think about the songs, and that includes what you think could have been played differently. Many of us feel like these sisters grandparents and some might even feel upset about a comment that you make in a video, but don’t get your panties in a twist because of that. Just accept that all people have different opinions about things and we all need to accept this. It will be like telling religious people that god is a fairy tale. It''s no use discusssing with them about that other than stating that you will continue to state your opinions in your videos and that they have to learn to live with that.

OK, so I play ukulele not guitar. However, when I do use a pic -which is not super often -I use three fingers as well. I just feel like I have more control with it and I feel like with two fingers , I’ll just drop it or something but everyone’s different Also, please just ignore the toxic Warning - they bite anyone who doesn’t think every single song isn’t the greatest in the world. I don’t necessarily always agree with your opinions but we just have different preferences. For example, I’m not really into heavy or thrash metal but it doesn’t mean I’m disrespecting their music. Same with you. You haven’t said anything offensive and if they’re butt hurt, they can go cry in the corner.
Ok so you and I disagree in opinion about solos but it doesn’t mean I mad that you want more out them. We can still be friends lol b I’m not a huge fan bc often times they just get dragged out and it’s seems more like the guitarist just showing off and I want to get back to the chorus 😂
For some reason my post about this version didn’t work, but I agree. This version also really shows Pau’s ride cymbal bell work and you can hear it clearly.

You can see the effect of the audience enthusiasm to each sister. Dany’s face just comes alive.

Pau takes command of the crowd like a boss, but the crowd has often made Pau tear up because of their enthusiasm. Your big smile and bobbing your head to each The Warning song, keep doing what you’re doing.
Dude great reaction and thoughts! Producers like you and me always have other ideas… but it is what it is lol
This is one of my top 10 the warning songs, from my favourite album, Queen of the Murder Scene
I agree about extending the outro but honestly, I think that about all their songs lol
This song is from the concept album queen of the murder scene.

The title is Ugh because they had hell writing it. Every time they would try and get it right they would just say UGH!!! So that ended up being the title!

As far as live goes The Warning ladies say they love performing live, that it makes what they do worth it. I think that they have so much experience (even though they are still quite young) and practice so hard that when they are on stage it almost becomes automatic for them...
It's not their style to go off. AS is a fave of mine. It is also their favorite from the KMF album and their favorite to play live. "Ugh" is off of their second studio album "Queen of the Murder Scene." Say what you want musically and instrumentally. I've heard a little Cattle Decap on WSOU Seton Hall Pirate Radio. Not too familiar with them but they do go heavy and hard.
I'm going to suggest an older song from a concert they performed in 2015 in front of their school. The song is "River Soul" live @ Liceo. They performed this song for David Ellefson, who was one of their music instructors and Alejandra's bass instructor when they attended the Berklee College of Music summer session in 2015.
Some trivia about "Ugh": They said in VLOG it was the hardest song for them get right on the "QOTMS" album.

If you like the crowd interaction, watch any song by them in teatro Vorterix - Argentina. We don't clap on drums, we sing riffs and solos
It makes sense that you are noticing the difference in songwriting as the girls have grown up. This track was still written by children and they really struggled to finish it, that's why the title.
The next automatic sun, will probably come in the future... as that is currently the favorite song of the band
The weight of Dany's original Gibson Les Paul was one of the reasons she changed guitars. She is only 5'2" or 5'3" so she is a small person to support the weight of a heavy guitar. That's what she said was one of the reasons she said she likes PRS because they are light.
5'4" in her words small 🤣🤣🤣
Also, she has had back problems. The weight of those guitars would cause her even more discomfort.
She also loves how stable the tuning on the guitar is (which is pretty important when touring!)
*Ugh*
*Ugh* is the 3rd song on the "Queen of the Murder Scene" (aka QOTMS) album released in 2018 when DPA/TW were an independent band... QOTMS is a concept album that tells a story from the first song to the last... hearing the album out of order makes it hard to follow the story... like reading a book's chapters out of order...
two other original songs, *The One* and *The Sacrifice* , were spawned from *Ugh* ... *Ugh* was the working title because it was a hard one, they really had to work on it, and they actually wanted to shelve it... thankfully their father kept after them to complete it... they were like "ugh! do we have to?" and *Ugh* stuck as the official name, too... the result is great!
this is one of their songs that you might want to think twice about playing when you are driving 😹
Fun Fact: one of their songs has/had the working title of "Gracias"... "Gracias" is short for "Gracias, K-Pop" which is a salute from them to the K-Pop genre which has some influences on their sound and style... when they are playing, sometimes Ale will ask which song is up next and she'll get the answer "Gracias" which she knows that song by instead of its official song title...

Dany uses a Big Stubby pick from Dunlop - 3mm. She says it is more comfortable than thinner picks. She showed this on the Digital Tour Bus channel where she explained her guitars, pick, pedal board and amp th-cam.com/video/kMPWxinxmoI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=qxcEe_qbTk6jQW02
she used to... apparently she now uses various picks... the one she used in the "You Oughta Know" cover wasn't a stubby at all... the one in that cover was quite bendable 😹
TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
@@WaldoKitty From memory she got started on the big stubby by "borrowing" a pick from Ale. Ale commented somewhere that she always puts her picks up but when Dany "borrows" a pick it is hard to say where it will show up. 😅
@@lonelywind3511 yep... as i wrote, that was several years ago... take a look at the "You Oughta Know" cover video they made at the SiriusXM studio... in the closeups of Dany's guitar pickups when she is strumming the strings, you can see the pick she is using there is not a stubby... here's a link with the timestamp...
th-cam.com/video/GDlhPlavlUQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=FGbDeuMHhIEipByw&t=163
i think she has also mentioned switching up in a recent vlog made within the last few months but i'm not sure on that as i watch so much of what they put out...
TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
@@WaldoKitty I know she has switched though I think now it depends on the sound she wants what pick she uses. I am easily amused by the three of them and I got a kick out of Ale talking about Dany getting her picks. I don't know where that video is anymore. It was just a little aside, probably somewhere on patreon which is something I really seldom even look at anymore. Just when I was first learning about them I watched a lot of their vlogs and their monthly chats. Haven't even logged in for them for quite a while. But it was one of the few times that I actually heard Ale be a little irritated by her sister. Just a funny sibling thing to me.
Great reaction! Thank you! The Warning, grandes músicos, letristas, intérpretes y aman lo que hacen.
I agree, Automatic Sun is a top The Warning song. I'd purr Disciple live at Pepsi Center right up there.
The Pol'and Rock festival show was filmed by a Polish TV station that holds the copyright and enforces it pretty vigorously.
There are always seem to be a few folks who aren't happy, but as you say most of us are just happy to get your thoughts. While no one is required to like everything, a considered explanation is always appreciated.
Pirates! Heehee. 😊"Ugh" is the lament of a girl who has a crush on a boy who doesn't return the feeling. "I don't want to understand, I just want to hold your hand." It's off their 2nd album, writeen when they were teens. Other songs from Teatro Met concert are off their third album, while "Automatic Sun", "Sharks", and other recent songs are from their fourth album. Each album had a different producer.
The Warning goes on stage intent on having fun. It's obvious that they do. And if someone messes up, they tease get teased about it, even in the middle of it. And the fans love it.
They use backing tracks and are up front about it. "Automatic Sun" is the band's favorite.
My favorite tracks are from their latest album, Automatic Sun, Escapism, Satisfied, Apologize, Consume, Six Feet Deep, Sharks.
Tres verdaderos genios de la música compositoras y grandes interpretes y uno de los mejores tríos de rock del planeta o tal vez el mejor,The Warning
Ugh is a great song. Recorded on QOTMS when Ale was 13.
very underrated song! They said more times the difficulty to find a good closure for this song and from this, the title of the song!!!! 🤣
They were still children when they wrote this so I think the future looks bright for some of the things you wish for in their music🤘🏽
Great reaction my friend. Keep Rockin' my friend 🤘⚡🤘.
The guitar is actually special made with all the things Dany prefers (strings, humbuckers...) and gifted to Dany by Lzzy Hale mid show as TW was opening for Halestorm. Lizzy was so inspired she told her band they had to practice some more because The Warning was so good! Fun fact. They wanted to scrap this song because they didn´t feel like it would mount to anything, but their father made them work on it and then they all said "UGH" and worked to the end. They tried to make it longer but it did not work, so they let it be what it was. In the work with this they came up with two more songs.
I would recommend 'Deciple" then "Z" Both from the Pepsi Center...
Anyone who can't accept other peoples' opinions, shouldn't really be looking for them. Great reaction, great channel, thanks very much. ❤✌🤘⚡🔥
Yes! I agree!
If you want to see how it feels to them to have thousands of people sing along, watch Pau do Black Holes at the Pepsi Center. See how she reacts when 8000 people sing a song along with her, that she wrote at 13. Not metal, not rock, just a young lady at a piano laying it all out on the stage. Even if you don't do it on the channel, watch it in the whole concert video along with the following Breathe. It is an amazing moment.
Excellent my friend... excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If you do react to the song, "Error," be sure to watch how Ale bounces between using her fingers and a pick back and forth several times. It's a fun tidbit in that live performance because she wants it to sound like the studio recording how she did it there. Ale starts playing bass with her fingers, then grabs a pick and plays for a portion of the song that way until she tosses it away to play with fingers again. Then she snatches another pick to play for a short bit and then she quickly "palms" the pick to play with fingers again and then quickly reproduces the pick from her palm to play with pick again. She has to do the "slight-of-hand" palming thing with the pick because she doesn't have time to grab a fresh one. She said it isn't truly hard to do, but it always makes her a bit nervous that she is going to goof and drop it. It's the song that flips between her using a plectrum and her fingers more than any other.
Great reaction! 🙏
Don’t get those negative comments, everyone is entitled to have their opinion and I think it’s interesting to hear what you have to say about a song or performance. 🤔😳
I think “Z” or “Disciple” would be great songs for the next video. “Z” is one of the few songs with a Dany solo and “Disciple” is such an high energy song…. 🔥⚡️🤘
Grtz from 🇳🇱
"Queen of the Murder Scene" is a concept album released in 2018 when Ale was 13, Pau was 16, and Dany was 18. The album tells the story of a young woman’s descent into obsession, murder, and madness, exploring her internal struggle between light and darkness.
"Ugh," the third track on the album, captures the protagonist’s growing frustration and helplessness as her unreciprocated love becomes overwhelming. She feels trapped by the intensity of her emotions, unable to suppress them, and the song reflects the internal tension building as she struggles to control her feelings.
According to their vlogs, the band had difficulty finalizing "Ugh." They experimented with different structures and melodies, but none felt right until they stripped it back to its simplest form. The title itself was inspired by their frustration during the writing process. Despite the challenges, the final version of "Ugh" captures the chaotic energy they were aiming for and became a key moment in the protagonist's journey.
Great reaction. The Warning have expressed many times in interviews the charge they get when they hear their audience singing their songs and even more so when they're in a foreign country and everyone singing in English or Spanish when they do their Spanish songs
Enjoy your reactions 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼
Like your reviews. I’m an 8 yr fanboy of The Warning and don’t care if you criticize or do a difficult critique. Some people can’t handle it if you don’t support their preconceived opinions. Forget the haters and do what you do.
She uses a 3.0mm "Big Stubby" Dunlop pick. Once you try one you'll understand her picking style. It has a unique feature that is hard to explain until you try it. But I highly recommend every guitarist that likes to solo try it once.
You should watch this song from the “Rebel Lounge” in Atlanta. Black and white. Sorry to the person who shot that video who’s name I forget. It’s one of this bands best videos IMO 🕊❤️⚡️⚡️⚡️
Their Dad encouraged them to keep working on the song, as they were having trouble finishing it. UGH was said in frustration, and somehow it stuck for the title. From the 2nd album, Queen of the Murder Scene. Dany doesn't solo a lot, but she has some.
For a guitar solo ,check out the song "Z" , from Pepsi Center CDMX 2023, or this same Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022 show.
Btw, Pol'And' Rock videos can clear in a couple days and be posted. You may have to dispute, I've seen other channels have it clear, the copyright claim will stay, but the vid will be postable.
Locura!!! UGH
The poland festival was a fundraiser for a hospital in Poland. Some reactor are donating all thier proceeds to the hospital. The groups that played didn't receive money for playing .
On the studio track, Pau's ride bell is more prominent 😉
Pirates of the Caribbean good song for it nice reaction later man.😎🇺🇸
This song is even better in context of the album because its a concept album.
Awww… hell no, bro!
You'll say what you will.
I have no problem with it… either way!
I like this band for my own reasons.
Getting mad at you would mean I'm trying to like this band for yours!
Thank you for sharing!
Hey you love Ghost…..brilliant and you’re beginning to enjoy the Warning, I first heard them two years ago. Saw them support Muse and the following day saw them in a small venue (800 people) in London….both times awesome…..a great band…and a brilliant review!
Way under appreciated.
You owe it to yourself to check out Automatic Sun from the Tecate Pa'l Norte festival. Amazing showcase of the talent in the entire The Warning team.
I suggest Apologize, from same album as Automatic Sun. It’s heavy as well, a bit more progressive tho. Apologize along with Automatic Sun and Escapism ara my favorites from last album. The only thing is that they only have played it live once, at their last show, so you won’t find a good video of it yet. You will have to react to the production lyrics version. That song is going to be presented more and more in the coming months.
Very few, if any of The Warnings songs are long enough.. most reactors go "it that it.. I want more". But instead of a handful of songs at a gig, with some of them like a stuck needle trying to extend too much, TW give you song after song leaving you wanting even more after a 90/120 minute set. And they must have chosen the right route as they hook everyone who discovers them
Art, by nature, is subjective. No two people will have the same opinion on music. Then you add individual musicianship and experience which shape those opinions. So if that means you don’t like a song like I do, it’s cool. There are several songs by TW that I don’t care for (e.g. MORE) that others love.
you would probably like the song Apologize!!!!
The song comes of their concept album!! Go back and do "Atlas Rise "at the Whiskey a gogo.
Even the most diehard fans think about changing things up a bit. More solos, more Pau leads, less production, more piano, longer songs, etc etc. It’s cool. That’s what opinions are. 🤟🏼🎸🥁🎸🤟🏼
A lot of Warning fans wish the ending was longer to this song. The song was named "Ugh!" because they had a really difficult time trying to come up with an ending to the song. At least, that is what I have read from people more "in the know" than me.
You should try the intro song from this concert called Z . One of my favorites. That and Queen of the murder screen are their more metal type songs from their earlier albums
I mean not only are you respectful but you also seem to like them, even if it's not your exact cup of tea. so right on 👍
⚠️❣️⚡️❤️🔥⚡️❣️⚠️
Queen of the Murder Scene
Maybe try Survive from Pepsi Center or Queen of the Murder scene from Teatro. Queen is a little harder
Love queen of the murder scene. Excellent metal tune
He already did Queen Of The Murder Scene.
Most of The Warning songs are alternative rock and he's more into metal.
Only some of their songs are hard rock like Queen of the Murder Scene, Dust to Dust, Dull Knives, Automatic Sun, Error, Sharks, Apologize, Disciple, Choke, Narcisista and Evolve.
I hold my pick with three fingers too... yeah, we're weirdos... and you are right, James Hetfield plays that way too. Dany doesn't... she picks with two. At this point, she was playing with those insanely thick (3mm) Big Stubby picks from Dunlop... they even have an indent where you can put your thumb. She's crazy, though... those picks are FAR too thick to play rock with, in my opinion. She has since (since this performance) moved to a thinner pick and even commented that she wished she did so sooner. I think her solos have improved since then.
I play ukulele and sometimes use a pick. When I do use it, I use three fingers as well😂
One of my favorite. I prefer the Lunario version, though.
That Explorer was actually a gift from Lzzy Hale when they were on tour with Halestorm. Dany plays with it, especially when they do "Enter Sandman" live, but it is a bit heavy for her and she has back issues. Dany also used to play with a Les Paul and moved away from it because of weight, amongst other reasons; remember that Dany is a petite woman. I think the Explorer has since been sort of "retired" from live performances... for one, it is just another guitar to transport on tour... taking up room, but I think the heaviness was a factor in her not using it live recently.
I agree that both the outro and the into could be stretched. Dany plays James Hetfield style with downstrokes, but unlike James, Ale is the timekeeper.
They may find their way into more metal, but they are Maiden style prog metal, if you want to put them into the metal world.
Un-fun fact. The Warning have trolls that follow them just to be jerks. They have nothing constructive to say. They're just sad little incels.
If you are ever at a metal show in Atlanta, I might see you. Caught Jinjer on their way through. RIP Trevor from Black Dahlia Murder. Good dude, great band.
Metal forever, but TW scratches my old rock love.
❤️⚡🤘
🤘🏻🤘🏻
🤘🏻⚡️🔥
The thing is we "musicians" appreciate going "Ham", but TW sticks to studio click tracks and backing tracks. Every live performance is therefore identical, year in, year out. It fits the intended audience. IME, there is nothing better than a good song getting some extended tweaks. It's more of a unique experience and that's what I hope for in a live performance.
Given that the ladies have all said that "Automatic Sun" was their favorite from Keep Me Fed , its entirely possible that they may write more in that direction. But it really depends on what Pau is vibing on when they get around to writing the next album. Since they enjoyed writing with outside folks so much it will also depend on who Lava and Rudy come up with. And do they use Anton again or pick a new producer. Again Lava and Rudy.
Escapeism next
Great reaction !! :)) One of my fav songs from TW.
Check out the drum outro on Unmendable ... This one is going back a few years ... (off their first album)
Unmendable - THE WARNING - LIVE at Lunario CDMX
th-cam.com/video/UHzUjACrf1A/w-d-xo.html
Bro , keep it 100, for better or worse . The warning fans like myself understand not every song is amazing , I don’t like a handful of their songs. They definitely are not prog , my favorite warning song is escapism , you like automatic sun give that a listen
Shock, Horror, that you should have an opinion of your own! Imagine that!
It's as if the critics haven't listened to Kool Aid Kids.
Just keep on doing what you're doing.
I heard that, Pau doesn’t have enough pick up under her ride, her bell hits are never heard. I noticed it awhile back and I can’t figure out why…I’ve seen here hit that bell many times but I did hear it clearly in one MTV vids and it kicks ass…
Most times a partial block, and sometimes a block, are confined to Belarus and Russia.
Look deeper onto the copyright infringement by hovering over the copyright column in your video list. They are also often of no consequence to your channel = zero warning.
I’m the one who commented on Cattle Decapitation, listened to their latest album. Vocals are still lost on me…. Oh well, we are different minds listening. The music did invite me to write my own lyrics…. Which I find interesting…. Let me know if I’m full of shit!
Entering the Atmosphere
I’m here
Circling earth
Object in the sky
Vessel in conjunction
I’m a weapon
Caught in the night sky
A light in dark
Mistaken for a star
Venus in the horizon
My weapons armed
Arming the mind
I circle ready for the fire
Fire of the atmosphere
A ember in the night sky
The flame of our true existence
Entering the atmosphere
Burning across the stars
My sparks of entry
Laid across the horizon
I’m a falling star
Wishing for your salvation
A comet of ice facing the end
I enter the atmosphere
Ghost of our future dominion
The past is absolute
Our future is our faith
The ones just now entering the atmosphere
Since you keep bringing it up... Perspectives. For the most part, fans are following the videos. A smaller percentage may be your followers and may be interested in your criticisms of music that you react to, but by far, it's a transient audience of a fan base that are just following the videos to hopefully see someone get as excited as they are about their favorite band(s). While I haven't personally gotten upset with your comments, I did find some to be unnecessary.. Like, who cares what you would have rather done with a transition to the chorus or whatever. The fans watching love it as is. You have a whole bunch of videos with less than 100 views, whereas the warning videos are in the thousands. So, (with a few exceptions), the fans aren't here for you the reactor, they're here to support you in your musical discovery and share in that excitement of their favorite band. So consider that you're not giving a presentation to a generic audience on music theory or song writing where you may compare and contrast or whatever... you're speaking to the actual fan base. There are channels that do some fantastic analysis of the warning songs already. Like Phil Zero, and various vocal coaches without resorting to low effort, "i would have done it like this"
So because the way I word things and my low view count on other vids means Im putting in low effort?
@@rockdariff I mean, it comes across as an off-handed and unnecessary.. Low-effort in comparison to say a PHil Zero analysis of their music. (you should watch one or two) it's a different style of reaction. But again.. Like, let's invite Taylor Swift fans to the house for a party, then then make comments about what we don't like about her music or what we would have done differently. It's probably not going to go over very well. lol You can do analysis/breakdowns, etc if that's what you want to do. But, IMO, trying to mix that in with a reaction video is probably going to go as it has been. Upsetting to some.. which leads to you addressing it at that start of multiple videos now. You seem to be as caught up by the reaction to your comments as the people are to you making them. So what do you do? Keep bringing it up? Change your style? Ignore it? *shrugs* I only brought it up, because you did.. again.
@ well saying it that way I was invited by some to check out the warning, all the tracks I check out react/review are requests from people who visit the channel and like how I go about making vids…and i read every comment and like I say most people are really kool and I learn new things but you saying Im low effort compared to other channels is the only issue I have…I never attack anyone I just speak from the knowledge I have and the likes/dislikes in my taste of music
@@rockdariff I think you misunderstood what I said. I didn't say your videos were low effort. I used to make content/vlogs on another channel.. I understand the effort it takes to put out videos and put yourself 'out there'. The context of my 'low effort' comment was directed solely at your criticisms (or your opinions) that you mentioned some people have taken exception to. Here is what I said with context. "There are channels that do some fantastic analysis of the warning songs already. Like Phil Zero, and various vocal coaches without resorting to low effort, "i would have done it like this""
@@rockdariff Most fans are of course here to hear what you think about the songs, and that includes what you think could have been played differently. Many of us feel like these sisters grandparents and some might even feel upset about a comment that you make in a video, but don’t get your panties in a twist because of that. Just accept that all people have different opinions about things and we all need to accept this. It will be like telling religious people that god is a fairy tale. It''s no use discusssing with them about that other than stating that you will continue to state your opinions in your videos and that they have to learn to live with that.

OK, so I play ukulele not guitar. However, when I do use a pic -which is not super often -I use three fingers as well. I just feel like I have more control with it and I feel like with two fingers , I’ll just drop it or something but everyone’s different
Also, please just ignore the toxic Warning - they bite anyone who doesn’t think every single song isn’t the greatest in the world. I don’t necessarily always agree with your opinions but we just have different preferences. For example, I’m not really into heavy or thrash metal but it doesn’t mean I’m disrespecting their music. Same with you. You haven’t said anything offensive and if they’re butt hurt, they can go cry in the corner.
Do more $b papi 🙏
And again: Please watch "Six Feet Deep"!
Ok so you and I disagree in opinion about solos but it doesn’t mean I mad that you want more out them. We can still be friends lol b I’m not a huge fan bc often times they just get dragged out and it’s seems more like the guitarist just showing off and I want to get back to the chorus 😂
To me this is the best version of this song. th-cam.com/video/AIgA9SDwu1I/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
For some reason my post about this version didn’t work, but I agree. This version also really shows Pau’s ride cymbal bell work and you can hear it clearly.
Grew up on biscuit and corn? Does not sound very healthy.
