- Many of you requested we react to another song by The Warning, and we got many comments for Narcisista, their first song in Spanish. The bar was set pretty high with Dust to Dust... will this top it?

The journalist who accused them of being Malinchista is probably feeling a bit stupid by now I’d imagine!
No matter how much I listen them, those bass lines are killing me again and again. As well the fact that I never get tired of any of their songs.
I think the 2 songs have different drivers behind them. Dust to Dust is part of a carefully written concept album. Narcisista is a one-off middle finger gesture at critics. Regarding English vs. Spanish, Pau said in an interview recently that her English vocabulary is actually larger than her Spanish one. Their entire schooling was at English-speaking academies.
I personally love this song. It's full of attitude, and I really like Dany's guitar work in this one. The fact that their first song in Spanish is a clap back at their critics that call them narcissists and malinchistas for only singing in English is pretty rock and roll to me.
I think something worth noting is, this video is the first time they ever performed this song live. They just came back from a 3 week vacation where they totally disconnected from everything, Then they had 1 day of rehearsal for the show.
🤟⚡️🥰
As a long time Warning Army member, I appreciate your candid reaction to Narcisista.
Personally, it is one of my favorites even though I know only a few words of the Spanish they are singing. And yes, I think when they wrote the song, they had to think differently, creatively speaking.
I recommend you react to more of Queen of the Murder Scene (Dust to Dust was the first song on that album), preferably in order, and some, if not all, of the songs on XXI Century Blood (their 1st studio album). I'm sure other members of TWA will be commenting soon as well (we are legion). #YouHaveBeenWarned
You need to look up the lyrics. Anything but cute. They are basically giving the middle finger to the mexican media and anyone who criticized them. Btw, a majority of their fans are " middle aged".
(This is Ed) I speak Spanish so I did understand the lyrics. Definitely not cute. I did have to look up the word "malinchista" Which is what someone who prefers a different culture than their own is called. Deep stuff, actually.
Some of us remember back to when we were "middle aged" !!! :-)
LOL yeah, I'm in that looking back group.
@@markbell4017 A majority of their US & European fans were born in the '50s or '60s. I belong to the first group and consider myself "middle-aged". 😁
This song is quite different compared to the songs on the album *Queen Of The Murder Scene* but I like it because of the message in the lyrics and the guitar-work in the end. 😉
Here's a version with _almost_ well-translated lyrics. th-cam.com/video/ZueriCDqW7g/w-d-xo.html
@@skipvincent9778 These guys are so middle-aged they's layers o' dust on em.
You NEED to watch ANYONE of their songs from their ALBUM - Queen of a Murder Scene....You Have 'Ugh', 'Queen of the Murder Scene', or 'The END' or THE ENTIRE ALBUM!
I love QOTMS, i've listened to that album\masterpiece so many times and I just love it more with every listen. I get bored with most albums pretty quick and only listen to the good 2-3 songs, but with The Warning they have no bad songs.
The ladies have said it is different to get a rock song written in Spanish. They said it was a challenge (somewhat) to get the heavier rock and roll sound with Spanish Lyrics. They have said rock and roll is basically an English language phenomenon, world-wide, and there's probably a good reason for it. (or something to that effect)
I really dig this song. I too am a "middle-aged" musician, and for whatever reason, I really like Narcisista. I find myself listening to it often, and LOUD. I do understand the artsy side of music, and how Narcisista has a bit more of a "mainstream" feel to it, but what can I say?
It's in my top five of their 34 original songs for sure!
Perhaps you should have done the lyric video because then with context the "Na na na" part makes sense as the childhood mocking phrase they as rail against their critics.
These boys was so stoned when they did this react, one o' em couldn' even grunt out 'is name.
They were sending a message. Pau had some things she wanted to say to.their critics.
Musical taste is so subjective. Warning fans will have different views of this song. Reactors have different views of this song. Couple said what you said. Others like this song best. Great, honest reaction and I love that from reactors. 👍
Thank you! Being honest with our first listen is what a reaction is all about. Honestly, the more I listen to this song, the more I get it and the more I like it. The chorus is very strong.
@@UnhingedReactions This song ALWAYS gets cranked up in the car!
@@TimberWolf762 All of their songs are cranked up.
The first time i heard this song I was already addicted to this band. Now that I have heard their entire catalog I get this song. That being said if all I heard from them was Dust to Dust I would think this song was more of a record producer built song. It is definitely more commercial sounding. Listen to any song off their second album and you will start to get this band. They listen to pop music and it crept into Narcisista but they have no influence on them to make them go towards pop. I agree that this song would have been great on a show like Mexico's got talent but it is still a great song that has always reminded me of a song like the Dixie Chick's Not Ready To Make Nice. This band will never intentionally go towards commercial sounding music because they refuse to change their music for anyone. That is what the song is about in fact.
I really enjoyed reading, and I agree with, your comment.
Thank for your reaction! Respectful and honest, as it should be! I like your cool attitude! The girls are great. I think you may like a straight rocking tune. I recommend Unmendable from the same show, Foro DiDi, the ending is a pleasure for drummers, or Queen of the Murder Scene, from the Lunario show, their hardest und darkest song up to date. The Partridge family you mentioned would need a psychological family therapy after both songs... 😜🤘
Someone ( I already forgot who) was insulted by the American Idol comment. I thought the Partridge Family comment was even more ridiculous and insulting. Hey, I used to like the Partridge family. I was 10! The two are in no way comparable.
I like you guy's display setup with the video filling the screen and you guys at the bottom in the foreground. The viewer can see everything and you guys as well. That being said, I don't know if you read and understand Spanish, but they were anything but nice in this song. When a latin chick starts doing this: 2:50 , buddy, you're in for an ass-chewing.😁 I think JD from Carpool Reactions said it best (he's fluent in English and Spanish). "Somebody pissed this girl off something fierce!" Essentially this was the nicest way they knew to give the hardline Mexicans that dissed them about their English lyrics, a little piece of their mind(s). Basically, ok Cabrón, you want a Spanish song, *you got it!* 🤣 This is a real breakaway from their usual stuff, but it goes to show how versatile they really are, and it has become a crowd favorite, sort of like Survive.😉 Rock on brothers! 🤘😎🤘
(This is Ed) I am also fluent in Spanish so I did understand that this was an angry song based on the lyrics. I didn't call it cute, that was Doug :-) But that's understandable to me if you don't understand Spanish.
Yeah, I dated Latinas. If they start waving that finger then $#@( is about to hit the fan!
The thing about them that blows me away is the absolute command of the stage that Paulina displays. Both on this song and Dust to Dust. There are rockers who have been playing for decades that can't hold a candle to her.
A minor correction, Narcissista is not so much a “prove you wrong” as much as it is a “go fuck yourself” to the journalists who called them “Malinchista” (a cultural traitor in the context they were using it).
Well... the "na na na..." have a meaning... and it is when you don't want to hear what other people say... you cover your ears and say thar.."na na na na" like saying "I can't hear you..."...
Those were good times.
Hmmm. Thanks for doing this reaction, but I am surprised by your reaction. The attitude and passion they display in this performance is impressive. "Cute" is not an adjective I would use for this song. To each their own... Check out Sinister Smiles or Dull Knives next.
Rush's record label: "You should write more radio-friendly songs"
Rush: Releases 2112 which opens with a 20 minute song
The Warning's critics: "You should release a song in Spanish"
The Warning: "Be careful what you wish for, you just might get it."
🤘
Hey guys! I saw Doug’s comment on the Kel n Rich Scorpions-Still loving you video that I was a part of and had to check you guys out.I’m getting ready to binge watch your reactions since I’m late to the party..lol.
Hey Darrell! You did a great job on their show, it was truly moving. Welcome aboard brother!🤘
I would be interested in hearing your opinion again on this song after you explore a bit more of their catalog and see that their sound is more of an amalgam of influences and it's much more than just the darker, grungier sound of Dust to Dust. While they can certainly bring the fuzz and distortion with the best of them, their catalog is quite varied and runs the gamut of musical genres, although I think they would all fall under the category of rhythm based hard rock.
But some are more "poppy" than others, if you want to categorize this one as that. I actually think the structure of the song is genius and I love how Pau sings to the "wah" almost as if to mimic the "whining" of critics and haters who accused them of turning their back on their heritage and culture to write mostly English rock songs. I love the more staccato, rap-flow type lyrics and think it suits Paulina's style to a tee whereas Dany is more of the traditional hard rock singer with vocal fry, inflection and gravelly rock attitude. Paulina tends to excel in the more ballad type rock song and the sing-song, rapid fire lyrical style like this and in Survive, which starts out almost like a show tune.
Anyway, so much to analyze and I appreciate y'all giving us your honest and off the cuff reactions without really trying to sugar coat or puff it up. However, I think you're being a little bit unfair in your assessment of the verse parts of the song. If this were the type of music that we could hear turning on the radio, it would seem quite cutting edge and refreshing compared to most pop music nowadays that seems lifeless and overproduced. This has attitude, passion and imperfection, even though it's probably more of a pop rock song than most of what they have written. Look forward to more from you guys and further exploration of their varied and multi-faceted catalog.
Thanks Jason! I'm too tired to type all that. I was going to, (or something close) but you took care of it. : )
@@jafquist27 Haha thanks John. I thought I was too tired to write all that, but once I get going sometimes!! I get carried away when doing "analysis" of our beloved trio.
Queens of rock. Attitude. Rock!
Thanks for the reaction: I am a little bit uncritically as a fan, but although I don't speak any Spanish (besides hola...) I LOVE that song especially for the statement and the bass! Man that's putting cracks in the walls.
We need some more Warning! How about Pau doing Radiohead's Creep? She asked for suggestions on Instagram, chose one, learned it, and put this video out a few hours later. Yes, went from zero to this in a few hours! And watch it all the way to the end of the video! th-cam.com/video/A6Y4XpBxjU0/w-d-xo.html
Holly Molly he moved!!! For a moment I thought he was a png image xD
If you guys liked Dust to Dust, you should check out their recently released music video “Choke”, the first single from their soon to be released 3rd album.
Next one:
Survive (live at TedX).
Good song but a better video is HERE - th-cam.com/video/N-wl4uQTA7w/w-d-xo.html
@@PNTTVReacts Ok. The strengths of each video. TedX. 1. Much better audio mix. 2. Much better camera work. Lunario. 1. Better venue. 2. The girls are older. Things that are equal. The Warning rocks it. You decide which is better.
@@scottlafleur4148 If they look up *Survive (live at TedX)* they'll find a crappy 360p version. They need to watch the last song of the whole show there ( _in 1080p_ ).
@@TheUnderdogDe I understand that. But asking reactors to find a song within a show doesn't make it easy for them. I'm not too concerned with the resolution of the video. Even Lunario on TH-cam has artifacting. I'm more concerned with see the girls(camera shots) and audio quality.
I agree. Audio quality is key. I personally could care less about the video quality. As stated, shot selection is more important than quality. I just hate people hearing them for the first time and thinking they suck because the audio is trash.
You really need to listen to some of the songs where Dany Sings (she sings on most of the songs). Gives you another view of the band. XII Century Blood might be a good one for you.
Really long solos just aren't going to happen with this group. With one guitar, you are pinned more to the melody. A one minute tear leaving the rhythm to only the bass and drums is difficult. I would like like never solos too, but I don't see them lasting longer than 10 or 12 seconds.
God I hate auto correct! "I would like longer solos too" is what that was supposed to say.
@@markbell4017 You now that you can edit comments, don't you? 😎
LOL! I haven't figured that part out yet. If I could find that magical edit button it would sure help. I'd still hate auto correct though. It's the most useless program anyone ever came up with and it's everywhere!
@@markbell4017 Hold cursor over your comment and look for three dots to your right. 😉
@@TheUnderdogDe see, I have a phone and a tablet. No computer, no cursor. I did put my finger on the text. It highlighted one word but I couldn't determine my next move lol. I think I'll just stick to cursing auto correct and maybe proof read a little better before I send. It's the "you can't teach old dogs new tricks" thing.😃
This is my least favorite song they have written. I agree with your assessment. I love this band to death, and always will. This song, not so much.
Having added that qualifier, I saw them do another version of this song in NYC, with a guest guitarist. That second guitar was epic, and fixed the problems I have with this song, musically.
Don’t give up on The Warning. I would suggest Dull Knives, or Psychotic.
But your favourite is their most country sounding song!?! LoL!!!
Maddog Jones yep. 😜. It is, but for sentimental reasons. Their best song is of course Dull Knives! 😀
@@roywall8169 Oooohhhh... Cool, Dull Knives is awesome for sure but I personally believe Exterminated is their best.
I'm sorry to butt in on you're conversation especially since I'm the new guy, but you're both wrong. It's The End. 😉
Mark Bell but away! All are welcome in this huge family. 😉🤘🏻
Apparently you guys didn't take in the lyrics and what they trying to say in rebuttal to the critics. Missed the message guy's.
Yes we likely did because it was our first listen. As I listen to it more and read the lyrics, yes, it's a very powerful song.
Love how Ale attacks the bass riff at 5:12
Thanks for your reaction; we all have different views and it's fair. Well, I love this song, and I think it's a rocking song. Mostly serving the purpose for what it was written for, although I wouldn't say it was like a play for American Idol. Their songs from their main albums are awesome and are equivalent or better than Dust to Dust. I hope you get to those songs. Try Queen of the Murder Scene for your next reaction.
Indeed, QOTMS kicks maximum ass and the solo in that one sizzles boys! Of course the whole album rocks, but it builds to a big hard rock crescendo at the end with a classic sounding and awesome "PAUer" ballad to finish it (or her) off. Get after it boys, you won't be disappointed.
Hey Doug. Said in the voice of the Judge on My Cousin Vinny: "Are you on drugs?"
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thank you!
🤘😎💯💕
If you're familiar with the band Muse, this is totally in that vibe. Also, musically, the construction of the song is brilliant, very mature, great changes, textures, huge sound palette for a three-piece. They are true creators with a completely unique sound as a band, and individually with their instruments.
Come back to this song, because it sounds like you literally couldn't hear some of what was happening musically in it because it was, maybe, too unfamiliar.
They said FU to all their critics - the important people (the target audiance) got it - even if some don't.
These girls produce the greatest rock music I heard for a long time. Your patronizing was misplaced. Add some Na-Na-Nas and make your reaction videos a hit. It's so frickin' easy as you know.
Check all their videos, you will come back and redo your critique!
Still a good reaction. Try some of the recommendations.
Kind of dig this track a little bit more than the first one, despite only comprehending this song's title (that's what I get for only taking French
throughout my less-than-stellar-academic career!). Sorry to be my usual curmudgeonly, contrarian self in that regard, but that's just how this
loveless loser (not affiliated at all with the LBR's awesome "Lonesome Loser",sadly) will be rolling (quite literally!) from here on OUT!!!
Sorry, obviously meant LRB (Little River Band, natch!, above).
Great comments, and remember... he's a loser but he still keeps on trying!🤘
He might, but I'm just about ready to take my ball and head home from the proverbial romantic park!!
I think you don't give yourself enough credit. I'm willing to bet that like me, you also were able to comprehend " na na na" quite clearly.
This is in my top three from TW. Admittedly, I’d happily listen to them singing the alphabet song. Yes, I’m a rabid member of TWA.
Another Drummer lead Singer! Powerful Song, though I thought the production could have been better. (Headphones)
You need to check out their music video for 21st Century Blood.
Thanks for your reaction. I think the exact opposite. I think this song is way better than Dust to Dust (which I also love). "Cute" song? Really? SMH
You need to listen to any other song off of Queen of the Murder Scene. every other song on it is better than Dust to Dust. IMHO
Ah, the Latin female temper!
WOW! Brady Bunch! American Idol! Wow. They turned down AI, AGT, and other talent shows to do their own thing. Wow! lol BTW, the song says keep talking, and let me laugh at what you have to say. lol
come on! is rock and tha´s good ! and how many hit´s did you have at your teens?
I think the critiques levied here show a lack of context. Dust to Dust is a song which was part of a concept album that they labored over for a year, crafting their greatest work to date.
Narcissista came about a year into promoting said album, when they weren’t recording or working on new material, as a quick response to something that pissed them off. They played it live and recorded it to make a “video” and posted it.
Comparing a fun “fuck off” bonus song to someone’s arguable best release kind of serves no purpose
It’s like giving Green Day’s “Fuck off and Die” (which was kind of a hidden bonus at the end of an album much like “Narcissista” is an “extra bonus” song) a “meh” because it doesn’t measure up to “Jesus of Suburbia”
That observation would be both true and besides the point at the same time.
The American idol reference was just insulting and lame.
This 55 year old musician and rock snob is more unimpressed with the quality of the critiques than you were with the song.
Not your vest video
Yes, the American Idol reference was insulting and lame. Especially given the fact that they turned down American Idol.
@@krash66 Wasn't meant as an insult, and we didn't know about them turning down Idol when we recorded this.
@@UnhingedReactions It's all good, guys! It just seemed like you were expecting that Neil Peart came back to life and you were expecting to react to Rush, and were disappointed. LOL. . If you think the song was "cute", then let's see the Mousketeers, or Hanson, or The Partridge Family pull off a song like this. From a song structure point of view, this song is Top Notch. If you think it is simple, listen to The Beatles first two albums, or Nirvana Nevermind... All simple songs, but Great. I guess it's all subjective. We all appreciate you giving them a platform, and your honest opinion. Don't let me or others make you stop reacting to more of The Warning. You will definitely find much more to like.
We still love their sound and will keep listening! And honestly, this song has been stuck in my head since we recorded this, so it's definitely growing on me!
@@UnhingedReactions Their songs do that to you. One reactor had is 13yo daughter listen with him. She said, it was OK but not her kind of music... Then he said later... I caught her humming it in the kitchen an hour later. LOL. Check out this professional drummer's take when he just happened to go to The Whiskey-a-go-go the first time The Warning Performed.. it is really funny and puts them into perspective: th-cam.com/video/rabTkPeGjGg/w-d-xo.html
While I agree the song takes a bit too long to get going, I thought the second half was very very good. The key to this song is the meaning of the lyrics and what they are trying to say. The NA NA NA are an integral part of this message and not just something they threw in randomly because its catchy.
ya the criticism was kinda harsh. And honestly I think the first negative I've heard.
TW is the next level... Listen "Evolve"... 💪💪💪
An observation. Think of how many songs you now like but didn’t on first hearing. Then think of how many songs, *by your favourite artist,* you now like but didn’t on first hearing. So I’d give these guys a break if they don’t immediately say wow! I love TW but there are certainly songs that, to me, sounded average on the first listen but which I now think are superb.
Totally agree, and Narcisista has certainly grown on me!
This is the downside of not researching before you watch (It get why you do it and agree with your reasoning). Sure wish you could have known the meaning behind this song before you reacted to it. This is their answer to the critics that said they were not Mexican enough and were cashing in on writing and performing American style. Their answer- you don't know us, you just talk behind the curtain... and basically to stick it up you a@@! And note this is the only song they sing in Spanish and it was done just so those critics could understand exactly what they had to say to them!!!
Thanks for that non-reaction, Lum n' Abner. Word of advice - nex' time, try NOT getting stoned first. Go'on, back t' sleep now boys,.
I don't understand ... Why compare diferent songs? ...
Just the only reference we had at the time. But you're right, totally different, can't compare.
You should of listened to more warning songs befire this one. Songs like queen of the murder scene and the the end, the one etc. You don't speak Spanish i assume that might be your real problem with the song. I don't either but i heard this song after listening to every song THE BAND has. I love this song. Maybe just not so early in the warning catalog for you.
⚡⚡⚡👸👸👸⚠⚠⚠
I think the criticism wouldn't be as bad if the song had been in english. Just saying.
No, had nothing to do with it.
Pau started the song in English. She said it was really bad.
