Whatever the industry thinks, their peers most assuredly recognize them. Halestorm and Muse were sufficiently impressed that they brought them on multiple tours, and Lzzy Hale and Matt Bellamy both gifted Dany new guitars (Lzzy on stage, no less). Three Days Grace was sufficiently impressed that after the first concert or two they brought Dany out to sing Painkiller with them, and when they were at festivals in Germany, TDG brought her out again -- she energizes the crowd that much. On the recent Shiprocked cruise, Michael Starr of Steel Panther used them as his backing band for the cruise finale for Highway to Hell and Dany played at least one of the solos.
Dude, you nailed it. Their dad says before each concert, " no matter if it is 10 people or 10,000, we give it our all."
Such a great track and after ten years their stage craft is now top notch. Saw them in the summer and they had 60,000 MUSE fans in the palms of their collective hands.
100% commitment
100% engagement
100% talent
THE WARNING!!!
These girls KICK ASS. I'm a 74 year old studio musician, arranger, sound engineer. These girls are the real deal.......and cute. 😇
These young ladies have an energy, passion and stage presence that many legacy bands would pay money for!
"Headliners"...there you go! How is it they aren't EVERYWHERE? On SNL, every night show and day show...3 Latina rockers and sisters...the story writes itself!
Because they don’t match the narrative. They don’t cuss on stage or in public. They don’t drink. They don’t dress like sluts on or off stage. They are beautiful, highly educated and don’t play the south of the border victim.
Because they are doing it like Rush did it. Their fan base is what help Rush gets to the top.
@@SDsailor7 They are doing it their way (as Frank Sinatra would say), which is the right way and there is no other way. They creating a rabid fanbase that will support them no matter what
@@user-sw9rn4rc9p Exactly! 👍
@@user-sw9rn4rc9p Right now their song S!CK needs help it is down in the Louder website new rock songs competition, they are at 43%
The song in the lead is at 53%
And the contest ends on Sunday. Not enough fans are voting for the song. I guess they don't like it. It used to be at 80%a couple of days ago.
You worded that absolutely perfectly. DPA said the same thing a decade ago. After they went viral with Sandman the entire “music industry” came for them. Think names like Disney, Glee, Simon Cowell. But they all wanted to change them. Everything but rock. DPA refused. The story goes one producer (Glee) asked it they would rather play for 12 people or 12,000. DPA’s response? I’d rather play OUR music for 12 people. Can you imagine turning down what? millions? Promises of anyway, As a teenager (& less) because you love YOUR music more. That’s something very. Missing in this world. But it’s exactly what The Warning is. (Reference the warning Agua Fria th-cam.com/video/xBXTkFDTN34/w-d-xo.htmlsi=VfBaho68eaePAvSF )
IIRC that producer story was during a meeting with Disney, but don't quote me on that.
@@JanneBernardsyup, I was just searching agua Fria looking for the quote & they said it was with Glee. I edited my comment and added the video link above.
That iron spine is going to take these ladies far. Those smug recording execs are already starting to eat their words.
@oregonlt3, Thank you so much for the link to that video, where DPA told the “12 or 12,000” story! I’ve been in the TW rabbit hole for 2-3 weeks and your comment, that video, and Eric’s 3 points confirmed what TW are all about. I absolutely *must* attend one of their shows, before the ticket price or my age stops me from going.
@@FranklinOPT glad to help. That whole aqua fria show is a wealth of information that doesn’t get seen as much as their TEDx’s & interviews & such. & Welcome to The Warning Army. It’s an amazing ride & they are a true inspiration.
Wow! Your in-depth analysis is thoughtful and in my opinion, accurate. This song, "Evolve", was one of the two songs they played at the VMA's in 2023. This exact song is what inspired me to go down "The Warning" rabbit hole. I can't get enough of these young ladies. The history of how they began, how their parents supported them, and how level-headed all three are is amazing. On top of all this they are down to earth and truly thankful and supportive of their fan base. True talent and true humility. They just love to share their music and I love them for it.
As a 68 year old retired guy that was in the music business my whole life in Nashville, and I still play in a weekend warrior band, I discovered The Warning about a year ago and have totally been blown away by these ladies. They leave no stone unturned. From vocals, playing, stage energy, production etc. On top of that they really enjoy what they do, and from their videos seem to be very nice people. I showed the guys in my band some of their videos and said, this is what music is all about. They are the real deal!
I truly feel The Warning are the future of Rock and Roll, 2024 will be their year!
I have been saying since around 2018 that these young ladies would one day dominate the world of music. Selling out any venue they choose to perform, including the largest arenas, stadiums, and music festivals. That they would, without a doubt in my mind, one day be recognized as the greatest power trio of all time. I stand firm in my conviction of this statement!
LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!
There's nobody better live. Raw, authentic, vibrant, in your face. These girls ROCK the socks off their audience!
I'm going to see them in concert in London in April -- and I can't wait!
They are great performers! I get a chill every time I Pau's scream in this song!
That huge breath she takes before letting it go.
When I Warn people about them, I start describing them as "the holy trinity of modern rock" ! Great reaction my friend.
The Warning will headline their own tour in Europe this year. When you look at their audience, you'll see kids and grand parents, they appeal to all. I see them more times last year and can't till April to see them even more times.
They deserve all of the success in the world!
That's a fact!
I have tried to get my 39 year old nephew on board with these ladies. He describes their music as the elevator music of rock and roll. I am like what the hell is wrong with you? Is there something wrong with me? I don't think so! I think he's bought into all the cookie cutter shit that's out there these days. I will admit I love a lot of it. But these girls are the real deal. And on the cusp of world domination.
Nothing wrong with you @spidernose!
This band should have a million followers…they are that good
Eric! Holy mother of all things reactable! That was the finest review ive seen, hands dow! Thank you for your knowledge, enthusism, and support of these awesome ladies!! I havent been this excited for music in roughly 30 years!!
30 years -- exactly! That's how long I've been waiting for this band to come along! It's been a long, long wait, but it's worth it!
I know right, all of us here know... The world needs to know, but I'm sure the world will get warned soon enough... All these talent cannot stay on the shadows much longer
I’m hopeful that 2024 is the year that propels their career. They work hard and honed down their skills all around…they deserve the success. Excellent reaction by the way.
You are right that the perform the same no matter where or when. I saw them in a small venue in Portland Oregon in 2022. This stop was added late between two other stops. You would never know it. The Meet n Greet was fun and they gave a full of energy show. Indeed they are the new standard. TH-cam as a lot of videos of little girls playing The Warning songs now.
Top 10 "The Warning " reviews of all time...BINGO baby!
The bass throughout this song is so bad ass! This is my favorite song by these young ladies, (so far), and I've been listening to them since the XXI Century Blood album. They've grown so much the past 7 years.
Absolutely EPIC live performance!!
These sisters are the present and future of rock!
They are overwhelmingly talented!
Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡
They are active, relevant, gorgeous and rock and play their instruments to perfection, their charisma is amazing ... vamos a Murcia por fa !
These gals flippin ROCK!
I´ll be watching The Warning in Madrid for the second time. Theirs are the only music shows I´ve been in more than five years. That´s how good they are!!
GREAT reaction! I couldn't agree more. You can go back eight years and listen to their Foo Fighters cover of *The Pretender.* They killed it! "Daid" like Raid. When you see where they were as kids, you understand where they are now. They are the hardest working band in rock today. And they love it!
I've heard it and agree whole heartedly, they have and old school sound that us older folks (50 here) have been missing for decades but they bring a nice fresh feel to it.
they absolutely deserve every bit of success that they are going to get.
As always your reactions rock, Eric! I've been loving the fantastic journey they are on since they were basically children. They are clean, tight, and driven. Their songwriting and polish set them apart, and their showmanship is top-tier. I'd like to live long enough to see them at the apex of the rock industry, and I feel they are getting there, although not as quickly as some might hope. Global Warning is a thing, baby! 🤩🌎🤘⚡🔥
I want them to perform QOTMS in its entirety like Pink Floyd did with the Wall or Dark side of the moon.
Wouldn't that be something to see now that they are grown up.
Great reaction and analysis! You got it right.
Often used as the show closer, as is the case here. One of the 2 songs they played at the 2023 mtv video music awards, check out that version later, Pau owns the crowd.
I agree with you Eric, they should be headliners sooner rather than later. I may be dreaming, but I can see them playing SB halftime one day.🤘🤘
Superbowl half-time? That'll never happen. Not unless you think "The Warning" is going up there to lip-sync. There's no time to properly set-up to do a live performance. None of those performances are real. It's all fake.
That's our Queens!!!😃😃😃
Reaction spot on Dude! They have "evolved" into "Rock Stars"! They have been climbing the ladder slowly but surely (by design) and I agree they are more than capable of "headlining" right now! Looking forward to seeing what 2024 has in store for these Beautiful and Talented Sisters! Much Love from West Virginia, USA! ❤❤❤
The Warning & Band Maid, best live rockers today.
The Warning will be headlining and selling out 20k+ seat arenas after they perform at Wacken 2024 this summer.
Very astute observations and comments, you, sir, are a wordsmith.
What you said about the music industry failing was perfectly illustrated when the ladies were asked to perform on a side stage for the MTV VMA show. They played this song and one other song a couple days before the live broadcast. The producer for their session exclaimed over a hot mike "Holy Shit". Later he told the band that he was a fan.
So, MTV had this 'in the can' a couple days before the broadcast and yet only aired a 45 second clip of each song late in the 'awards' show.
MTV KNEW what they had and yet they sat on it and instead showed..well, we all know what they showed. MTV knew that if they were to air the performance that The Warning laid down, the rest of the show would have been eclipsed and nobody would have remembered anything other than The Warning.
Thanks for your so very eloquent words, most all of us feel the same way and can't quite find the right words!
Great Reaction...incredible words...They deserved that....regards
Why the heck you don’t have at least 100 K subs man ?! Your analysis and reactions are always on point and you get it every single time! The same way you said TW’s performances should be the standard, your channel should be for reactors.
Totalmente de acuerdo, el mundo no está listo para THE WARNING, serán LEYENDAS, saludos desde Ciudad de México TWA CDMX, Dany🤘🤘🤘Pau 🔥🔥🔥Ale⚡⚡⚡
.. and the performance of this songs was simply STUNNING at VMA's 2023 MTV Music Awards! Trust me.... hundred times better!
I'm sorry Eric, but the meters are not full. 😉 Just watch their performance of this same song at the 2023 MTV VMAs and you will see that even in that one year, some of those gauges are even higher now. In 2023 they toured with Muse in front of stadium size crowds and by watching Muse and performing in front of thousands, like sponges they absorbed it all.
Love your words about my favorite band on the planet.
You get everything right, just like they do. Keep 'em coming, it won't be long before the scales are tipped and the world knows what's up.
Great job 🎯💎
I LOVE THIS BAND !!
✌️💖🎼
As a 68 year old follower of music, I could not agree with you more !!!
We have all been *_WARNED_* and _initiated !!!!!_
Very kind words that we (the Warning Army) feel to our core. I can say from my one live experience of The Warning in front of a crowd of 500-600 people that they rocked just as hard as what i have seen in videos of them playing in front of 55,000 people. Again, thank you for another in-depth Wyldeside review of a true class act that is these 3 amazing rockers, THE WARNING!✌️🤟🤘
Great reaction !!
I absolutely agree with you.
They are soooo tight.
They are brutal, but elegant and sophisticated.
They ARE my new favorite band !!
Ale IS my new favorite bassist !! :))
The music world is a better place because of them. :))
All is not lost.
Thank you Eric for that reaction, your description of The Warning is totally spot on! I have no doubt this band would of been huge 30 some years ago. These ladies have the drive to keep Rock alive, cheers.
I've heard Evolve for 2 years now since the released it... Every single Live version the build up to Pau's scream still gives me chills. It's literally a musical interpretation of "evolving" and letting lose. Right down to the music video at the beginning of that transition, it goes from your normal white lighting to RED and stays RED for the rest of the song. Thats not only musical planning in the song writing but the production of the elements in the music video, which are what bands have used as a marketing tool since dirt... and they shot it using a couple of iPhones and a drone.
Hey Eric! You hi the nail on the head! I have often said, I don't know if the music industry deserves them. As for headlining, I don't think there is any band that wants to have to follow them on stage. And yes, having seen them play in front of 300 people a few times and I have seen them in front of 1500, and in videos I have seen them play to stadiums. They sound just as great and give 110% EVERY show! Speaking of headlining, another reactor put in one word as well: "Undeniable". You can't watch them live and think, "I don't think they are ready". I have personally seen them 5 times (once I few to Mexico to see them), and I can tell you, nothing prepares you for the WALL of sound they hit you with! Future Legends!
The Warning are headlining a European tour in April (2024). They're also schuled for 6 festivals this summer in Europe. Plus their new album is coming out this year. Be expecting them to tour North America in 2025.
You think they are going to skip NA completely, in 2024? Really?
I know they were exploring the possibilities of a tour in Asia, primarily Japan. IDK if that is in the works now or when it might happen. But I also think a NA tour this year is less likely or if it were to happen at all it would be a brief one in the fall.
@@gman125 - after what happened in. Canada with TDG. With the cold weather. They should do a South America / Australia tour this winter (it's their summer).
But after their April European tour. They are scheduled for 7 festivals in Europe (June - Aug). They could tour NA & fly over the pond at least 4 to 6 times to continue touring NA. But that's not likely.
They have all of May/June they haven't shared about yet. They are not going to spend 5 months away from home in EU either. LOL, C'mon! They also have 4 months after Germany to add NA dates. I find it extremely impossible for them not to play the States/Can at all, in any given year. Guess time will reveal all, and we can keep on making up shit as we go. @@kevinthetruckdriver353
My friend says that Shinedown is the complete band, I say The Warning is the perfect band! Thank You!
Eric, I wish I could like this ten times. THE best analysis I've seen. Can't really put my finger on it but Pau brings two Drummers to my mind; Keith Moon and Neil Peart. Ironically enough, like Neil, she writes most of the bands lyrics.
And LAST song of the night...incredible!
They kick ass Eric
Wow!!! Emotionally reactions and comments about these amazing ladies . Before 10 years they understanding each moviment from one or other🤘🤘🤘
They're playing here in Prague on April 14th at MeetFactory, my friend's art center. I can't wait. The theater is 750 capacity and they are nearly sold out.
I finally subbed! Enjoyed so many of your Warning reactions! American Jesus is one of my alltime favorite songs, and now I can’t overhear it in the intro… 🙈 They are a live band, it’s an experience! Only three tiny ladies, but big walls of sounds! Can’t wait to see them in April! Thanks for your reactions, greetings from Germany 👍⚡️🤘
Fantastic Band!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They have such a variety in their songs that every person who likes rock at all should find something of theirs to like. You want misty-eyed ballads? They got 'em. You want your face melted off? They got those too. I'm just wondering if they'll get as diversified as Zeppelin did. I'm old enough to remember the fan reaction when LZIII came out and many fans were scratching their heads, especially since the difference between LZII and III was so striking. All was forgiven when LZIV came out.
They are finally blowing up. Getting so many well deserved accolades and awards. They also are getting the main stage at many upcoming fests in Europe. Pol Rocks averages 250,00 a day on their main stage./they will be there the day after they play Wacken. On the recent shiprocked cruise they did the encore at the all star jam to close the cruise.
They wear all of their influences on their sleeves, with pride, and celebrate every single one of them with joy when they create and perform. Breathtaking.
This analysis is exactly correct. Excellent. You wrapped up all the emotion we feel seeing them expertly. And like you said, those who should have seen what we see and didn't, fire them. They are not doing their job. They are LAZY! Yes. Absolutely The Warning should be headlining. I would add to your "FULL" note, tight, confident, fearless, and something most people gloss over, respectful. Respectful of their sisters, respectful of the music, and respectful of their fans. I've seen so many bands come and go since 1960 that I can honestly say that there is nothing like The Warning and... there never was.
Another great reaction Eric. I have been following these ladies for 10 years. They are as humble today as they were then. They have had the benefit of being sisters and living in the same house with a rehersal studio in their basement so practise was a daily thing for them with other bands probably not so regular. I am 74 and have seen lots of bands before they became famous and these ladies are as good as any and better then most.
Thanks for that explanation Eric, now I know why I feel so good when I listen to their music and watch them perform!!!!👏😊⚡️
I loved that you said they would play like that weather it was 100 or 100,000 people, I've thought the same thing cause Everytime they play you can tell they love it all they want to to play and rock out doesn't matter the crowd these ladies play inspired rock and that is something that's missing from rock and has been for quite some time now the warning just has that feel of this is different this is special 🤟 great reaction bro!
Great reaction Eric. 🤘🙏
1st song I listened to was Choke, my reaction: That is a nice song
2nd song was Evolve, my reaction: Wow this is a great song and band. 🤟
3rd song was Dust to Dust and there was no way back from the rabbit hole...
Love The Warning.. 🤘💥🥰
Grtz from The Netherlands
How you summarized them as a band I think Jason Flom may have had a similar opinion about them. He only saw them once at The Mercury Lounge in NYC on December 10, 2019. He said he stayed longer and later and listened to more songs than he had ever done for a new band he was checking out. He spent the next 7 months in contract negotiations to sign them. And this was after he had closed his roster and finalized his budget for 2020. And they were negotiating during the pandemic when the industry was essentially shut down. He saw the talent and he saw that talent perform live. And he wanted them on his roster regardless.
They also don't rely on costumes and gimmicks. They don't put on a persona, they are the persona. They are genuinely having fun on stage. They consider each other 1st best friends and they like being with each other. They like their music and they like performing. Music and performing ARE their DNA. Music doesn't define them, they define their music.
Thanks, Eric, good comments as always.
Straight 🔥. Phenomenal guitar and drums.
DPA have been spoiling me for years and for other bands. You are so correct about the new standard🔥🤘
Thaks for your review! I go alog with you, these lovely and talented ladies are ready for the world. 🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡
Great reaction Eric, Couldn't agree more. Greetings from France 🤘🔥⚡😉
My single word is 'untouchable'.
Agreed hundred percent have said it myself, they have created a new genre I call it Warning Rock, it fits between Metal and Hard rock…TWA⚡️⚡️⚡️
AMEN!!!!!!!!!!
They are headlining in Europe this spring , but no dates for North America yet. I'm on the east coast of Canada and the local rock radio stations do not play The Warning at all, which I just think is insane. None of my friends or coworkers know about the band either, and they react with looks that say "if this band is so good how have I never heard of them?" When this band is this incredible, it just shocks me how people just aren't aware of them. How has lava Records not promoted the crap out of this band and pushed them onto the airwaves in every city in NA is beyond me. Maybe those days are over and everything is just so Spotify algorithm driven that people don't get exposed to anything new unless they decide to go looking for themselves.
*WOW!* "They should be a headline act this year" that statement coming from someone like you is no joke.🤟
I thoroughly enjoy your reactions because you keep putting into words what I feel when I listen to these insanely talented sisters, thank-you. Keep on rocking and you've been warned!
It gets so hard to describe how good they are. They simply don't have a weak link anywhere, and I'd add their team to that. I think 2024 is going to be absolutely nuts for them, much the same way 2023 was so much bigger than 2022 was and so on. I bet if you look up the term "meteoric rise" up, you'll find a picture of DPA right next to it. I really like the way you put it and I agree, they definitely are the new standard for that sound. Some have called it Melodic Hard Rock, and honestly I think that's a pretty good description of their sound. Nothing else sounds like The Warning, so i t makes sense to me. Thanks for another great reaction!
Melodic hard rock -- I like that!
A bit like how one of my other favourite bands, Unlucky Morpheus (from Japan), is described -- technical melodic speed metal!
I have to defer, there's a weak link on the band: PAU'S DRUMSTICKS! 🤣
Really good reaction. It's cool that you liked this performance, as all of TWA does, but the best part of your reactions is that you explain WHY it was good (or bad). Well thought out and well said. I just saw another reaction by 3 people to the live version of Evolve at the VMAs, and one of them just said something like, "I didn't like it. It just didn't do anything for me," without explaining why. What good is that?! Anyway, you did it the right way and that's why you're adding subscribers, including me.
I'm late to the party, but when I saw them perform Evolve live on the MTV Awards side stage, it was like when I first heard "Smells like Teen Spirit", that hey, this is something new and will be (and deserves to be) BIG!
"Who else you got?" Love that, and it's so true. They are just simply special and deserve to skyrocket.
"...They are so... " You almost said it! Best take I've heard man. Nailed it! This band has 2112 vibes on a whole new level. Reminds me of getting BS Paranoid on 8-track for my 11th birthday and wearing it out. This is an actual resurrection. I can die fulfilled now! :)
True that they were a headlining act starting around 2022, but they are taking a very cautious and calculated rise to the top. They are befriending many bands so that those bands may in turn open for THEM. I am methodical myself and would do the same as they are. Thanks EC.
Thank you for your insight on The Warning.
They are the 2nd coming. They are here to save Rock n Roll and take it to the next level.
A Spanish analyst compared the official video of the song with a live one. He broke everything down, leaving only the voice, later the bass, the drums and the lead guitar. Surprised, he said, astonished. The times and spaces are equal and identical, it cannot be!!!
...and that was the last song of a 1 hour 45 minute concert where every song had that same amount of passion! They are just incredible, especially live! 10 years of live performing brings you the comfort of being so in-sync with each other and the music.
👌👍 great reaction 👍🤘🤘
Wow you nailed how I feel so eloquently and to the point when I watch these ladies thank you for expressing the level they're at in such an easy way to understand. Every comment for TW in these reactions are usually they're best live or the harmonies are a 4th instrument. They write their music to include the fans in the show and you have made that clear with your reaction thank you look forward to seeing where DPA go next. 🔥⚡⚡⚡
Awesome analysis as always! I see big things in their future!! ⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘🤘
'Music is Passion, Music is Hope, Music is Life' - Daniela (Dany) age 16 @ TEDx talk at the University of Nevada at Reno in February 2017
Everything you mentioned, is EXACTLY how they felt in 2017, and moreso now. They are the epitome of their craft. Nuff said
They have been, and are currently headlining. You just watched one from Aug 2022. Check out their 2024 Tour schedule, and check it often as they add to it constantly. 😉
Gracias por pensar de esa manera de esta Banda....
... Saludos desde 🇲🇽🤘😎
I said it from the begining, they are already rock leyends!
Great analysis - yes The Warning absolutely loves what they do & would do it no matter the crowd size. I think 2024 will be a big year for The Warning - they will get tons of attention while touring Europe & playing the big festivals, which may spill over to the US. And I think bands that see The Warning understand immediately that they are a force to reckon with - Lzzy Hale said in an interview that she told her bandmates "we need to go practice more" after seeing them play live while touring together.
I accidently stumbled across The Warning just a few weeks ago and I've been captured. They traffic in a genre that is not the pool into which I routinely dip my toes, but they perform so well and with a kind of delight that draws me in. I immediately notice that the style they've already mastered doesn't sync with their presentation except for the verve with which they perform it. Pau often exudes enough energy to rival plutonium, and often while simultaneously singing her lungs out. Guitarist and lead singer Dani shows a complete command of both her instruments, and the Ale meshes perfectly with her sisters in a way that reminds me of the sibling synchronicity of the Corrs, although their niche was far from this in folkish Celtic pop. What is jarring to me about the Villareal sisters, is their edge while (still seeming to be sweet people in a supportive family. The band name perfectly set us up for their assault, the ferocity of their playing, command of stage space along with enthusiastic audience participation, the lyric darkness and sonic aggressiveness of so many of their songs (which belies their contrasting personal upbeat and happy lives offstage), the amount of air they and their amps move to keep you pressed back into your seat, and the time signatures (often 7/8) and being ambushed by the silent spaces used to keep the listener off balance just enough to feel that he or she has indeed been warned. Usually metal heads go out of their way to look unhappy, dour, menacing and like they can't wait to get old enough to properly join the 27 Club and meet Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison and many others...or that they're depressed because they're now aging hippy rockers who were once upon a time important but now can be found only on the diminishing number of classic rock FM radio stations or end up on the bill of one of the too often just sad shows of "Aging Dinosaur before I Die of Old Age and Turn into Crude Oil" tours.
The Warning, on the other hand, projects a youthful (they are, after all only 24, 22 and 19) enthusiasm and energy, a positive and happy enjoyment of the music and their ability to have already learned to play so well after having worked so hard to achieve the accomplishment. They obviously revel in the appreciation and love their fans shower on them. They club me over the head with the incongruity of embedding themselves in a genre often so dark if not even nihilistic without displaying the accoutrements of anger and despair to the point of cliché with which that music catalog is typically draped. There are no visible tattoos, let alone being inked from head to toe and bathed in black makeup. While their current ages all but "consign" them to being fit and, dare I attempt to say without sounding like a creepy old guy, nubile, I'm glad to find them not garishly sexualized. (Their parents and some other good and healthy mentors still have some good and healthy influence, or so it would seem.) They smile enough while performing as if to admit that they're having too much simple fun playing very hard-edged music to have room for the anger and angst their lyrics would otherwise convey or to be confused with some of those with whom they've shared a stage (like Guns n Roses and The Pretty Reckless). Thankfully, none of them would be mistaken for Taylor Momsen (I suspect to their parents' relief.) As a parent and grandparent, I hope the music industry doesn't chew them up, leaving them hardened and damaged.
Fantastic review (as are all of your reviews!). That smile/laugh after Pau’s Scream of Destruction said it all! They did this song recently at the MTV VMAs and it was even better! Check it out in your own time if you are so inclined.
MTV hasn’t featured a Rock Band in DECADES and jaws were dropping during the performance. Afterwards, the MTV Producer (who didn’t know he was on a hot mike) said, “HOLY SH!T…”. When Pau was told about it she said, simply, “That means we did our job…”.
The World better GET READY for them, because they are about to go Supernova!
I have no idea why they haven't been asked to play Nashville, I know it's the home of Country Music but I know there's also a huge Rock and Roll base there, As a DJ maybe you can influence promoters there, These young ladies deserve much more attention than they get BTW you almost quoted Pau word for word If I can find that quote I'll add it here.
Their rise is grassroots. I believe they’ll get their dues in time and shouldn’t be rushed IMHO. They shouldn’t seek invitations to anything, but instead wait for invites when and where they’re wanted. Good reaction.🤘🏼❤️🔥🤘🏼
