This was the most daring cover on TheBlack list by far.

[@big0bad0brad]

Daring to attempt it given the timeframe but a sure thing by the time it was done! Some of the other stuff I listened to from Blacklist I'd call daring, but not particularly enjoyable.

[@ronhall5395]

Metallic a liked this version so much, they moved it to number one on the black list.

[@roywall8169]

The arrangement was the girls’ doing. The filming and location was done by management.

[@krash66]

Yes, constantly impressed! Ryan, I think you coined a new word: "Warnified". They were given 8 days notice to give Metallica a song, so they could make printing time for the album. The Warning got the news, got in touch with Producer Matt Squire in LA. He few overnight and met TW the next morning in Monterrey and they all went straight to work. Alessia Cara (Canadian Grammy-Winning pop singer/songwriter) was in Toronto and worked with them remotely via Zoom. They took a metal song, stripped it to it's core elements, rewrote it as a Pop song, then Rockified it (their words) or "Warnified" it, in Ryan's terms. They recorded it and sent it to David Bendeth to mix it. Back to Metallica.... All done in ONE WEEK! It still amazes me.

[@manuelesquivel9732]

Warnified, love it

[@westmus]

Don't think having a tight timelime do necessarily have an negative influence on music. It seems musicians have an habbit of digging into details and use endless time on stuff that do not really make result better. Oasis' big hit Supersonic was written from scratch and finished recorded in less than a day. The band were actually in the studio to record an already written song but met problems with that and out of a little jamming grow Supersonic.

[@Highrider_Phil_C]

I love this version of Enter Sandman, it's the best re-envisioned remake of an all-time classic, now I feel it's even better, the Warning really know how to make songs, I love it.

[@roywall8169]

Call me biased, but this is the best effort on the album.

[@krash66]

I have not heard the entire Blacklist album, but so far, agreed. Nothing on that album comes close, IMHO

[@jafquist27]

I wouldn't call you, except to chat, and this is the crowning jewel of the album.

[@torresilk4277]

You’re biased! So am I. 😁

[@nukchuu1]

you ARE biased bud.. BUT I fully agree and join you in being biased lol

[@blaineoshaughnessy685]

Biased also, 🥲

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

*Correction:* Metallica asked Alessia Cara to join the blacklist album. Then someone in Alessia Cara's camp who is also involved in The Warning's camp suggested both artists do a collaboration. Then Metallica was informed and it was a go. The Warning had a week to record & videoed this track with Alessia Cara in Canada & The Warning in Mexico. Also note of interest. The guy who joined The Warning on stage at Lunario DMX for their song *Dust to Dust* was Rudy Joffrey. He directed this video, as well as the *Evolve* music video. And Rudy is also their manager.

[@roywall8169]

Both artists share an International Manager. His name is Chris Smith. He was the person who suggest the collab. Chris was at the Whisky shows in 2020, before he represented The Warning. He had heard about the band, and wanted to witness first hand if what he had heard was accurate. It only took him a few minutes to ask to be a part of the team. The girls won him over almost instantly with their performance. (He was also blown away by the packed house).

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

@@roywall8169 - wondering if Chris was blown away by the number of people who shown up for The Warning's half hr set during Rockville.

[@mundanus84imperium]

The video wasn't done the same week of the song. Metallica needed the song but not the video so this was shot after that week. Cheers!

[@allensaunders449]

It's the warnings arrangement and instruments. Plus about half the vocals. Alissa is a talented singer song writer

[@gsg1959]

What a unique arrangement of the song, sounds like a completely different song.

[@grahamhiggins3457]

Alessia Cara was the one asked by Metallica and she has the same international manager and he suggested the Warning. It took them a week Alessia recorded in Toronto also the video part. Its not a cover though its a total reconstruction. It is an amazing rendition with a great tribute at the end.

[@CarlosMartinez-kx3ny]

[@northof4912]

Alessia Cara was ALSO asked. The Warning did most of the legwork and asked her to join. As per an interview with her.

[@gill2105]

Welp another great reaction.. The Warning and Alessia Cara ~ Walk off grand slam for The Blacklist album. 🤘⚡🤘

[@TimberWolf762]

This version starts out mellow and just gets angrier and angrier as it goes along. Awesome rendition, as always with The Warning! 🤘🤘🤘 Plus they got the call and then did this in one week, with Alessia in Canada and them in Mexico.

[@Nas_Khan]

I'm a huge Metallica fan and Enter Sandman is my least favourite of all the Metallica songs. This version is absolutely freakin amazing. The girls did this arrangement in a week. They surely did Warnify it Ryan. Alessia did a great job on the vocals and thanks to Alessia the girls got this opp and it was a great collab. But when Queen Dany took over the vocals, chills all over. Dany's voice is just perfect for rock & roll. Best front woman ever in my opinion :)

[@OGK_Show]

Interesting take on Dany's singing. Most fans of The Warning point to Paulina as having the perfect rock voice. I don't agree with either. They both just have great voices, but to your thoughts I do like Dany's voice above Pau. I could get into technicalities, but that's useless. I just love how well she sings and Dany has done an amazing job at cultivating her voice. She just gets better and better. I don't really know what a rock singer voice should be, but I know Dany has an amazing voice. I love the way you put it "But when Queen Dany took over the vocals, all over." Ain't that the truth? 🤘🏾

[@awadoma2702]

@@OGK_Show I've never heard anyone let alone "most fans" say that "Paulina as having the perfect rock voice" She has a good voice but far from "perfect rock voice"

[@fredhinckley8630]

Hey! Nice to see you guys back.

[@pissingelk]

Great reaction guys! Alessia Cara is a Grammy award winning Canadian pop star. She has a huge following compared to The Warning so great exposure for the girls! I can't remember who produced the song for them but I do know that David Bendeth mixed the song and TW team produced the video at a local abandoned warehouse. When interviewed, Alessia Cara was asked if Metallica gave any feedback to this cover. She responded “Not directly, but through the ‘team,’ we heard that they really loved it,” she laughs. “So thank God, as long as we got the stamp of approval from them, I’m happy.” Great job by all involved and I hope that TW makes this song part of their tour repertoire.🔥💖

[@aaceve]

They got Matt Squire (Arianna Grande, Panic! At the Disco) to produce it. He recorded the band in Mexico and Alessia's vocals via remote (she was in Canada.)

[@christinaalgate4899]

The band The Warning got the whole Black List Album and even got some photos shots as a gift from Metallica.

[@glengibbs1949]

Thanks guys! Couldn't agree more. This arrangement, performance and video are genius at every level. Everyone was astonished when this came out, and many still are!

[@robsorenson68]

Thanks for another fun reaction. Due to the circumstances (described accurately below in Kevin the Truck Driver’s comment), The Warning had exactly one week to put this together from start to finish. When you really think about it, that is mind-boggling: they had to come up with an arrangement, find a producer, book studio time, connect with Alessia remotely, record it AND mix it. As luck would have it, they’d been working with producer/songwriter Matt Squire on a different project when the official word came down. Thankfully he was willing and able to travel to Monterrey the very next day to produce and co-arrange this interpretation with the band. I think when you factor in those logistics with the creative risk involved with turning an iconic song completely on its head, this might be their greatest achievement to date. I still prefer their original material, of course…but this is pretty damn good. 🙂

[@abjbusti8586]

Beautiful and creative rendition of the song. Excellent reaction guys. 🤘😎🔥🔥🔥

[@p.gabrielguirao14]

Masterpiece.

[@timnye718]

great reaction guys! This reimagined version was their opportunity to reinvent this classic and iconic song into their own!

[@saltyshowers9356]

I remember: Warnified. Great job guys.

[@larrywhite2956]

Their own rendition is “Epic”! Creativity was off the chart! Was definitely rated the best of six that were done on the album. Was show cased as intro music. on major sporting events/networks right after it was released! Much love for the Warning! ❤️

[@DaveRod76]

They did a fantastic job on this rendition.

[@bubamaranovichok4901]

That’s right guys, they Warnified me !!! And you right both of you, that was their manager who made it happen, but we have to admit, without them that manager wouldn’t have that job!!!

[@jbartyparty7398]

Fantastic spot on reaction for a fantastic rendition / re-make of a classic song. Yeah, ES seems trite these days, but TW reminds us why the song is great at the end by crushing our skulls with the main riff. But this is so innovative and beautifully arranged...I'm pretty sure the girls were, ahem, instrumental in how the re-make was composed and arranged and wasn't force-fed to them by any corporate monolith creative voice in the sky. Speaks to their brilliance not to mention how seamlessly they can collab with another artist, even if it's one from a completely different genre.

It’s great to be back :)

[@amb3466]

Great reaction. Thanks again

[@DonKelleyMusic]

their management is also the guest singer's manager, I believe... and the warning created this arrangement themselves like everything they do... they don't let anyone else do their writing and arranging

[@juanjosearnedokidd4439]

I think it actually was Cara the one who was invited. The Warning and her share the same US promoter, and it was his idea to do the collaboration. BTW guys, after listening to 5 of your reactions, I am sold. Just subscribed.

[@WelpHereWeAreOnYouTube]

Very kind Ty

[@edintx]

What a great reimagining of the song. They really changed up the key, tempo, so many things. That said, not sure I’d agree that the point of covers is to gain an audience. It could be, but in the case of The Warning and several other bands, they didn’t have their own songs, and for some folks, the skills and discipline to write a song is beyond their abilities. I have a good friend who plays lead guitar in a cover band and for 3 years now they’ve struggled to write a good song - just not in their skill set. They all play very most, most having 20 years or more but composing an original song isn’t happening. Anyway, enjoy your remarks, guys. Rock on! 🔥🤘 #NumberlyGarfs

[@joaquinantoniogarciagonzal3395]

GENIALES COMO SIEMPRE LAS REVOLUCIONARIAS DEL ROCK DEL SIGLO XXI. ¡,VIVA THE WARNING!!

[@adamtrombino106]

U guys are right. By 1992, that song was worn the F out and everyone was sick of it. I myself haven't listened to the original since 1993. But TW and Ms. Cara just reinvented the song, made it fresh, and I agree, made it all their own. TW tends to do that ;) Great reaction and spot on conversation.

[@nukchuu1]

You hit it on the head.. tired of the original as much as I love Metallica. I was 16 when the Black album came out and was one of my favorites of the year. BUT 91 what a year for music! so many great albums came out that year! BUT back to today lol The girls did a great job of pulling AC from pop into rock. They did what Metallica could have if they weren't a heavy metal band. This has become my favorite version of this song now. I played it at a family get together and all my cousins (like 8 of em) agreed and enjoyed this version more than the original because it is so fresh and well done. And cant wait to see them on Jan 27th and be right in front between Ale and Dany for the show. will say hi to you as well Ryan and the other TWA cioa for now buds!

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

Was waiting for both of your reaction to this video. Unlike your reactions to *Martirio* & *Disciple.* Your reactions was a let down considering *Enter Sandman (2021)* was better than *Martirio* & *Disciple.* They took a metal song and made it a Pop/Rock song. The ending was not Metallica but made it The Warning sound. Cause when it was finished. They leave you wanted to hear more. A typical Warning song.

[@torresilk4277]

A reaction is reaction. They said they liked what was done with the song. 🤷🏻‍♂️ Personally I love this arrangement but still am more excited by their original stuff.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

@@torresilk4277 - I personally don't care for Metallica except for the song *One.* And The Warning's 2014 version of *ES* was good. I prefer when they played *ES* live in front of an audience. Plus I get they heard *ES* so many times. Like for me it was AC/DC's *Back in Black.* Your just sick of that song. I get that. But both of these reactors said they ending was the best. Guess it was too much of a change for them. Unlike us when we had that sneak peak snippet that was on the video game trailer. We were prepared for something dark & different.

[@FlashGeiger]

You guys are Canadian and don't know who Alessia Cara is? Do you need me to come over to your place and help lift off the rock you've been hiding under? Cancon rules had her stuff overplayed on the radio for years. She's even played at a couple Grey Cups (that's where I saw her live once)
