My Best was a real Surprise... 10/24/2024, *deep purple* in Munich, Germany, Olympiahalle. 97 Minutes, 21 Songs, good Sound, good Performance, good Lightning. It was an very good Performance at all! From that Band I've had the worst Rockshow in my whole Life! 1974, *deep purple* in Berlin, 137 boring Jazzimprovisations of 8 (only!) Tracks... 🤭

[@metalandrockzone]

Well it is interseting, i saw DP some 25 years apart and the second show in 2023 was much better! But I guess back in the 70's they did these crazy jams that I personally do not like.

Old guy here(70). I was fortunate in my lifetime to see hundreds of the great rockers live, many back when in their prime. Got onto The Warning a few years ago. Hadnt been able to go to a live concert for a few years for health reasons. Put The Warning on my bucket list and drove 10 hrs to catch their show this year. So happy i did. Hard work, dedication and TALENT on full display. One of the best bands i've ever seen. I completely concur with your evaluation. The Future Is Bright with and for The Warning.🎼🎶

[@metalandrockzone]

I love this story and so happy it paid off with the long drive you put in! Thanks for watching

Similar. Saw them close to home and then flew 4 hrs to see them headline. Wouldn’t think twice to do it again!! 🤘

[@KariSahla-h7s]

I am positively surprised you liked the Warning so much. They are not so heavy or metal, more like a hard rock/alt rock band to me, but very much fun, talent and energy in their playing and sound. And live is how you need to listen to TW. Also my best rock concert for ages. And I need to travel like 4000 km to see them play in Dublin. Next year 2025 I am hopeful to see them at least twice in Europe. Thanks for your video, appreciate it a lot cause there are not many who can compare 113 concerts a year. 🙏

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes TW have something extra that very few bands seem to have. And totally agree, they are best consumed LIVE! Thanks for watching

[@KabukiKid]

THE WARNING! I haven't been more impressed by a band in ages. I'm a female rock/metal guitarist who tried my hand at making music a career, so The Warning holds a very special place in my heart. I am so excited for them right now and wish them only the best. It only helps that they seem to be genuinely sweet and authentic people, as well. Easily one of the best live acts of the past few years! :-D

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes they have it all for sure, I really look forward to look at where they can take this in the coming years

It's a shame you don't live in Spain there are two young twins (Neyla - New Twins on The Rock) trying to get started in the rock scene who are very talented and huge Warning fans, they need a guitarist to join them, but they have already put out some amazing original songs along with many covers.

I don't believe they have played outside of western Canada (where they live) yet, but their fan base, the Cold Front, includes a lot of TWA members. Jesse in particular has given them a lot of support. They are very heavy for those who like that. Hopefully whenever The Warning does a headlining tour in Canada they will invite Freeze the Fall to open for them. They would learn a lot from The Warning and have a very friendly and receptive audience..

Old rocker here... I finally caught The Warning live in April after years of following them through their albums and live videos, and even having a long conversation with them on my channel... and they blew my mind. They are an explosion of passion, honesty, raw talent and true rock bewitching young and old at the same time. I also think they are the next great rock superstars.

I traveled to Cancun in 2023 and Madrid in 2024 to see The Warning. No other band has ever made me want to do that. They are absolutely built to be a live band, and now they got me for 3 shows in Mexico City in 2025. They will be a huge band going forward.

[@SvengaliDetroit]

Seeing's beliving! The Warning in Prague last April, was the best concert I've seen in a decade!

[@metalandrockzone]

yes it was an insanely good show

[@reactionsaccount3955]

I hadn't gone to concerts in about 20 years and had not been listening to new hard rock in about the same length of time, when I discovered The Warning a few years ago and when they came to my town in a small 300 capacity venue, went to that show and had my mind blown. Since then they have performed multiple times in my city, in bigger and bigger venues. Best live band that I have seen since AC/DC in their prime in 1991. Your prediction is becoming true, as The Warning is coming back to Europe in April with multi-thousands capacity venues and in February they will have their biggest headlining show to date in Mexico City, in front of 10k at one of the world's best venue, the Auditorio Nacionale, which sold out in April 2024 in an hour, then a second date was added which also sold out and they just added a third date recently, so that will possibly be 30k tickets sold in one venue for 3 shows inside of a week.

[@metalandrockzone]

It is so nice to witness this band blow up to become this big. Really happy that I saw them in a "smaller" 700 people venue so I can tell my grandpuppies!

[@mrtaco9058]

Agreed, best concert I ever saw was AC/DC. The Warning is the only band I want to see live right now, but I live in Australia and the band haven't been here yet, I have been following them on You tube for 18 months now and I am obsessed. Every concert I have seen online is amazing even through fan cams. Hard rock music isn't going to provide mainstream hit singles anymore, just the way it is now, so to you need to be great live to get a huge following, The Warning will be headlining stadiums very soon, and they deserve to be there as much as anyone, even if they are 3 sisters from Mexico trying to revive Rock and Roll in their own way.

Yeah if this guy likes The Warning, he'd probably also like Band-Maid. Band-Maid needs to tour Europe. So hard for these incredible Japanese bands that don't speak English to punch through to Western audiences. So many Western music lovers have no clue what they're missing. Maybe the legendary Paul Reed Smith recently making a signature guitar for one of the members may help.

[@CraigCholar]

As mentioned in the video, The Warning's headlining shows have great sound. I saw The Warning a few years ago at a local venue that is notorious for having some of the most muddy, mediocre sound ever. That the old theater dating from the 1920s has a well-deserved reputation for bad sound didn't deter me; I simply HAD to see this up-and-coming band that somehow decided to swing by my sleepy home town. Anyway, the person responsible for The Warning's live sound setup is a miracle worker who transformed the usually echo-filled wall-of-mud sound into a rafter-shaking wall of pristine sonic bliss. The clarity and power of the music was shockingly good, and the band simply knocked me out. Despite a small crowd the three Villarreal sisters put everything they had into the concert. If you enter a skeptic, there's a good chance you'll leave as a new recruit into The Warning Army. The hype is well-founded. Edit: mostly dumb typos

I might be one of the oldest who goes to The Warning gigs, 73 just after Christmas. I saw them live the first time last year with Muse at Plymouth and at London and this year at Birmingham O2 Accademy, Nottingham and Manchester they were just so full of energy regardless of the venue size, you just couldn’t criticise their performances regardless! I have followed them for 11 years now, it’s been a joy watching them grow up and grow as a band. I think you’ve got it spot on about their future unless something gets in the way! Alice Cooper won’t stop until they put him in a box, he enjoys it too much 😂. When you saw him was Nita on guitar? I know that she’d been out of circulation for a while due to her injury.

I’m 75 and seen Alice Cooper a few times in his heyday. I can tell you this, of All the great bands I’ve seen in my life these sisters from Mexico are the best Live Act I’ve ever seen. I’ve seen 100s of concerts in my life. I thank God I lived long enough to see who I would vote to be the best ever. They have it All. Talent, Stage Presence, Beauty, Energy, Outstanding Material, they never recorded a bad song. All their Albums are Great, from their earliest when the were in their mid teens, to their 4th and latest this year, there’s not a single filler track among them. They are like an Addicting Drug, I can’t ever get enough of them. Since they have grown up on YoTube, I can’t believe there another band out there that has more of a documented history of themselves. Reading the tens of thousands of comments on them, you never find a negative one on them.

I was at The Warning show in Prague. The night is a weird one for me as the show was astonishing, but a few hours later my girlfriend and I came very close to breaking up (nothing to do with the show - she was astonished by how good they were too). The Warning is by such a huge margin the best band I've seen live for a fair number of years (dare I say it they even top my previous favourite small venue band of all time Marah - that nobody has ever heard of - for energy and passion). Now I really want to see them move to the next level - they played a bunch of festivals at crappy times this year, but should hopefully at least be doing main stage Saturday evening shows next year, because they are way better than most of the legacy bands that are getting the headline spots on name alone. Are they ready to headline Wacken? No. But they definitely shouldn't be resigned to an outside stage lunchtime slot ever again...

Thanks for watching

Absolutely agree about Obituary. Saw them opening for Seps in London in November, and they were excellent. Also saw Hellripper when he came to London in Oct 23, and that was an epic gig.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes this was the best version of Obituary I have seen, so tight and heavy. Only complaint is that I would love to see some more songs in the set but obviously when they are opening then there are limits.

[@javiermarin8565]

The Warning va pisando lento pero seguro, respaldado por talento, trabajo, dedicacion y mucha pasión y energía.

[@metalandrockzone]

🤘

[@aviationfalcon]

I went to a couple shows this year, but what surprised me the most was Dying Fetus. I don't really listen to death metal so to speak, but their energy was something else and got the small venue rocking. The intro with "Womb to Waste" had the crowd going with their groovy technical death metal. It is safe to say I was hooked.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes they have some pretty good tunes

[@dmphax]

Finally got to see Dark Tranquillity, they were incredible!

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes saw them this summer and that was by far the best version of them I have seen, they were close to my honorable mentions on this list.

[@elah1023]

The Warning in Prague? It was 🔥🔥🔥 Can`t wait for 2025 Europe schedule.

Yes Prague, hope they come around again soon

"The Warning is Passion...The Warning is Hope...The Warning is Life." Dany, probably. These three Ladies are true Unicorns.

[@metalandrockzone]

yes they for sure are special

[@MetalProfessor65]

Great video, man! I saw only four concerts in 2024, but the clear winner was Dogma, the metal sex nuns, in Chicago in November. The band had evolved in their stagecraft and their energy in 4 months (I also saw them in July in Peru) to an extent I would never have imagined. And they had essentially--no, literally--zero stage props or effects to bring into the show. It was just the women and the music, and they put on one of the best concert experiences I have ever had.

[@metalandrockzone]

Ok I need to check them out! Thanks for the tip

[@notwokevikingrules401]

Lovebites was my best concert this year

[@metalandrockzone]

seems like most people who saw them were super happy with them, I need to see them one day

@metalandrockzone they are great especially if you like me fan of old 80 and 90s heavy metal and trash 🤟

[@thomaswilliams8487]

The Warning is my favorite band. They are great in studio and live. I’ve seen them twice and look forward to seeing them again. Haven’t been this stoked or into a band like this since Van Halen. VH will always hold deep places in my soul. However, thank God for the Villarreal sisters. I love them

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes they are bringing hard rock back to where it belongs

[@jeffrielly]

One of the top for me was Lovebites (I saw them when they played their first us show in Atlanta)

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes really hope to see them one day

[@dregeye]

​@@metalandrockzone LOVEBITES formed in 2016 in Japan, were in UK 2017, EU/UK in 2018 & 2019. Metal Hammer "Best New Band" 2018 2024, played 10 shows all over EU/UK in June/July. They alternated Festivals and small clubs. Their first time in USA in September. I saw them in a club in San Francisco, California, 330 of us jammed against the stage. Best performance I have seen, my list begins with Cream, Zeppelin, Tull, etc. My list will end in my final days with LOVEBITES. All songs in English, btw. Considering where they played this year, it appears you chose to NOT see them. Unfortunate. (imo) Leaving LOVEBITES out of a worldwide lineup? Unfortunate. Though it won't hurt IF you get to see them with a full stage show... someday 🤘 1st song of 1st show March 2023 after 2yr (c0v!d) hiatus, "The Hammer Of Wrath": kzbin.info/www/bejne/pnnViIWKZa-Yl8U btw, I saw Alice Cooper once, March 14, 1969, The White Room, Buena Park, California. A tiny all-ages club, $2.50 entry. I had to save up my "lunch money" !! Also saw Chicago w/ Terry Kath there! Like an idiot, I skipped Alice Cooper (band name at the time, Vince was still Vince) opening for Zappa at Cal-State Fullerton on the 15th ! 🐺 dreg👁

[@rexwave4624]

I saw Alice fifty years ago, as did my wife. Im glad he still has it.

[@metalandrockzone]

Oh man that must have been amazing

[@tackle47]

Hanabie, most fun show I have seen since my 1st show (Maiden in 1985). Unbelievable energy and so damn heavy compared to what you think they will sound like.

[@metalandrockzone]

Well Hanabie are a great band and for sure one of those you look at and thing "this can't be heavy stuff"

[@Rollermonkey1]

Headliner was definitely more a J-Rock band, but the opener was their J-metal alter ego. My concert of the years was an easy choice: Gacharic Spin / Doll$Boxx @ Zepp Haneda, Tokyo, Japan December 8. Flew Vancouver to Tokyo to see it, and it was worth the hassle. Doll$Boxx has really only come together three times: December 2012-January 2013, 2017-2018 and now December 2024-January 2025. I'd been wanting to see them perform since 2014, so it was a bucket-list opportunity. Second place was easily ProgPower USA.

[@metalandrockzone]

I see I got myself some more Japanse music to check out! Thanks for watching

[@pwithers2]

Hirax, Exumer and Exodus at a sweaty little O2 gig in London. Absolutely amazing gig

Saw the Warning live in a small venue, and the place was just jammed to the roof. I agree with you that they may well be the future of rock. I think Band-Maid are even stronger musicians but the cultural barrier may limit how big they get. The astounding thing is how women are finally breaking through in a big way.

[@metalandrockzone]

[@StevOPelO]

@@metalandrockzone it was in Lizzy's hometown Philadelphia PA this September when they were touring together with The Warning. But this was a local radio station's festival concert. It was my introduction to The Warning!!! I've seen Lizzy multiple times! But The Warning absolutely stole the show mid lineup with about 8 amazing other bands including The Offspring, Halestorm, Nothing More, The Warning, POD, Silver tide, Sleep Theory and Jersey Calling! The Warning opened up the second half of the show and left me mind blown! Then Lizzy came on and tore down the house with her voice. I would HIGHLY recommend checking out her performance there, that local radio station was one of the first to play their music! The show was the MMRBQ 2024! Lizzy got to open that show 20 years ago when she first started! Just like my friends in Jersey Calling didn't this year!

One reviewer, commenting on a live performance by The Warning, noted that his big takeaway is that their concerts are just plain fun for everyone, including the band. That's certainly a big part of their appeal.

Have you listened to Band-Maid yet? Do you listen to Japanese rock and metal? There is some good stuff over there. I HIGHLY recommend the Maids. They did a song with The Warning.

Yes had featured Band-Maid on a "new band" episode earlier this year. I also do a radio show on J rock and Metal every two weeks called Radio Rokku Sokuho where we play and talk about J rock and metal. It is on a holiday now but will start in January again, I post here on my channel when it starts again.

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

For me The Warning did not blossom until EVOLVE when they when they ceased being a cover band and played original material. Since then I have seen them twice and both were excellent shows. please do not wish big venues on them :p . I have really enjoyed the intimate venues they have played and will always choose a small show over a big one.

[@KariSahla-h7s]

The Warning started to write and play their OG music at the very beginning in 2015 when the sisters were 15, 13 and 10 years old. Their first EP and two first albums were indie releases. True that they have made covers when they were children but only one recorded cover and more than 60 OG songs.

[@PANIC_aka_PinD]

@@KariSahla-h7s Yes, I have had this discussion with other The Warning fans ... not recognized by many for their original material until EVOLVE though they may have had some. Mostly known for covers until then.

[@SDsailor7]

Check out their second album Queen of the Murder Scene (a concept album) that they composed when they were 12,15,17. It was an independent release. They performed the whole album in 2018 at Lunario CDMX if you haven't. The album is in 4 chapters and in-between the chapters they play songs from their first album XXI Century blood

[@metalandrockzone]

I totally agree, there is a risk that they "lose" it when they go bigger but I guess its a force we can't fight.

[@williamburkholder769]

@@PANIC_aka_PinD Anyone who watches the Live at Lunario, November 25, 2018, concert will be amazed. That was the debut date of the entire *Queen of the Murder Scene,* a rock novel concept album. It is freaking phenomenal! Who creates a musical murder novel about unrequited love at ages 13, 16, and 18? Oh yeah, The Warning! ALL their work before Evolve deserves attention. It may not be as heavy or as complex. It can be heavier! I have and still play all four of their albums, and a download of *Escape the Mind,* their first EP.

[@balgus82]

I didn't go to many this year. Steel Panther was fun, but my favorite of the year was Avatar. They were really tight. The singer had great stage presence and crowd control and it was just a wonderful show all around. Ive also seen Alice Cooper twice (but not this year) and he really does put on a hell of a show. And his live band is super tight. Not a missed note in the show.

[@metalandrockzone]

You need to go see LOVEBITES or BAND MAID , they don't do copies ! Hahaha

Both great bands and both on my bucketlist

[@j0hnn13K]

Honestly, i am not surprised with the #1 pick, i've seen Alice perform years after hearing his music (which i liked to some degree), and it was then at the first concert i saw him at (a festival) that it all clicked for me, he blew me away, i've seen him a couple of times after that and it was always great. As i see Alice Cooper, he's a podium act, the albums are just there because of demand (and ofc to help his fame and finances, let's be real), but yeah.. he's a stage beast who gives you more than a rock show, he gives you rock theater, and he excels at it.

[@metalandrockzone]

yes he puts on a show that is unlike any other I have seen.

[@haroldmurrayDFW]

Just saw King Diamond omg. His band off the hook, crazy good.

[@metalandrockzone]

[@jimlaheta8864]

Seeing The Warning on their headlining tour this September in my hometown was the best of the year for me! I thought you'd like them for this list but wasn't sure - but The Warning has a way of winning over just about everybody, especially with live performances! And in the US a lot of the crowd consists of guys 40 and up - we remember when the radio was on all day every day and had great music, something that seems to have slipped away but The Warning may bring back to us.

[@metalandrockzone]

Yes they are bringing Rock n Roll back to where it should be

I am impressed that 99% of the comments are related to The Warning, as a Mexican they fill me with pride, they have been an example of tenacity for 11 years, it is incredible that Alejandra is 20 years old, the next album will be the consolidation, I hope.
