A week ago I never heard of this band. But I happened to see a concert performance video and was blown away! Their command of the stage was incredible. Since then I've been trying to digest their song writing. And I think it's brilliant, especially for musicians so young. Your videos always educate me. Thanks for sharing and adding interesting elements to my enjoyment of The Warning's music.

I have not seen Ale's "signature bass" available anywhere online or on Spector Bass website personally. Maybe you've seen it. What I do see is the color scheme called "Ale's Inferno" which matches her Bass color and you can get her model in that color which may be pretty close to what Ale uses.

So many people say that there's no good rock out there. There's lot of it. You just have to dig a bit deeper to find it. It's not on the radio. It's not on the top of streaming lists.

Fil - The show in the UK was part of their Kickstarter campaign back in February, 2019. I am almost positive that they will come at some point. As you know, every time things get better, there is another downturn. They have vowed to fulfil all of the promised Kickstarter rewards, so I would bet my house that they will come over as soon as they can. We all hope you are part of the show too.

[@dj1rst]

What you wrote is slightly wrong. The concert was organized by a different Kickstarter campain from fans that are patreons of The Warning with very good relationship to the sisters but non the less I am very positive that Dany, Pau and Ale will try their best to catch up to make the concert happen.

[@mauistevebear]

[@mjc1389]

Even though I don’t have Patreon I do follow the bands Instagram and KZbin channels. The band does a great job of going behind the scenes and breaking down how they do various things. I recently watched a Instagram live feed with Dany and Pau filming for Dany Day. She broke down her newest pedal board and used the song Narcisista as an example. That video and how Fil mentioned some of the same techniques in his analysis is so interesting. Watching them play live and see Dany constantly changing settings make so much more sense after watching their Instagram live stream. Also watching Pau’s masterclass at Soundcheck Xpo and listening to her explain a bit about their click track and how she controls the show on her laptop was really cool.

I must admit that have been so anticipating your analysis to The Warnings new music. I still watch your interview with them every so often. After all you are my go to. Looking forward to your analysis to Evolve!!! Awesome video Fil thank you!

[@warrenschulze350]

as an old Front-man from a mid-sixty's rock band, who, by the way can't play a lick on a guitar, I am amazed that I can still spend half an hour watching and listening to you breaking down songs! Your analysis of singers is what I usually come for, but you make it so damned interesting! I got "warned" a couple of months ago, and I could kick myself that I have missed out on so much, but I am catching up fast. I have been looking for this for 20 years, and I didn't even know it. I'm looking forward to more from you on The Warning, as I think they are the best thing to happen to music......ever! And, by the way, next time a little more...no, a lot more, on Ale's bass playing, which is the only instrument I wish I could play!

[@edwasintx]

Another insightful and excellent analysis. Not only do you break down the song construction but add in the why element and how all the instruments fit. Dany did do a video showing her Line6 settings which show how much went into building the effects for the different sections. No, I’ll never approach your level of playing a guitar, but I sincerely appreciate a chance to understand techniques which are new to me. Bravo!

[@ChopBassMan]

In my opinion The Warning is the best rock trio since Rush. Rush had one of the biggest live sounds of any band I'd seen in concert - They also used a lot of 'backing tracks' live to make it sound closer to the album, especially from the 1980s forward. I also really appreciate and love that the ladies don't use auto-tune in this age of "pre-programed electronic disco" as the Blues Brothers commented during their shows.

[@Nas_Khan]

Thank you so much Fil, it was a great great reaction. I thoroughly enjoyed the whole 30 mins. Great breakdown and analysis and loved it when you played the chords too.

[@timspeakman4555]

They have pledged to still do the London gig as soon as can be arranged around the covid travel rules etc and is safe to come. It was from a kickstarter campaign to get them to London and part of the negotiations with the label when they signed was to have it written in to the contract that they will honour these commitments. Hope to see you there when it happens.

[@professorg9424]

Thanks Fil! I always enjoy your analyses. This is my favorite version of this song because you can very clearly hear each girl's contribution to the song. I especially like the way Ale's bass is very clear and prominent in the mix.

[@tomcruise8603]

Thanks for coming back to the Warning after about a year like they say better late than never but great analysis and guitar playing of my favorite Rock Band The Warning cheers Phil

[@lengould9262]

The amount of work these people have put into their craft is just stunning. Dani learning to sing well as high as she does while playing quite complex guitar as Fil demonstrates. Pau (nuff said!). And the always ignored Ale who gets little credit for acrobatic bass playing. And their prolific songwriting, complex melodically, thoughtful comparatively non-repetitive lyrics, carefully arranged. Astounding, esp their volume of output at such young ages.🎉

[@Highrider_Phil_C]

I love this song, for being a live studio performance, it sounds really close to the original. This was recorded at Victoria Records in Monterrey, Mx. The next song you should react to is "Evolve", fast pace and high energy. They also did a collaboration with Shauntrack, a famous Spain KZbinr, same song with a slightly different sound. I'll see you in the comments as soon as you can react to it, thanks.

[@rexwave4624]

Having seen The Warning live a week ago, fifteen feet from centre stage, and having had my head crushed by the bass and drums, while the audience sang all the songs, I see a bright future for these girls and the stadium-ready anthems they write. For full transparency, I’m at retirement age, I’ve played bass for fifty years and I’ve done my time playing complex stuff live in front of audiences. I’m gob-smacked by the power of these young women that far exceeds what I could ever do.

Wonderful breakdown of the song, thank you. These girls are great! I love that heavy riff in the song, to me it's reminiscent of something like a cross between Zeppelin's "The Ocean" / kind of fused with a sprinkling of Black Sabbath. It sounds WAY beyond their years! They really have a keen sense for the dynamics of a song, as well... kind of Nirvana-like. These girls are fantastic musicians, plus, I really like the heavy-handedness of the drummer! I can't think of another female drummer who even compares to her. Imagine what they will create in the future...

Just a few days ago, I saw your recent analysis of the band Fanny as the first all-female [rock] band to be signed to a major label, and here we are fifty years hence with another all-female rock band signed to a major label. Listening to your analysis of that band, I was able to draw several parallels to this band. I am glad to see you getting back to The Warning. I hope you will be able to see them in London when they can re-schedule that concert. I hope you'll get another opportunity to chat with them again soon.

[@wjones1499]

I had listened to this version of Choke quite a few times, but never noticed the underlying guitar solo notes in the pre-chorus, where Dany is doing the chugging rhythm. You pointed this out about 21 minutes into your video saying it might be hard to hear without good speakers. But now that you have pointed it out, I hear it clearly. That makes me realize that I was listening to this with my own pre-bias since it's "live" and I was not listening for overdubs or layers - but of course, there's that laptop next to Pau controlling exactly those things. This is the best analysis of this song on the Internet. :) Great job!

Never even heard of them? Awesome! Grunge roots? Thank you fil🌷

[@FullTexanEffect]

Not so much grunge, but they do have many influences from all over and they tend to lean towards that 90's era rock as a vibe. But, I think Queen was the predominant band played when they were young. They have said that watching Queen concerts weekly as a family was a fond childhood memory. They are very versatile. They are on their third album in their 8 or 9 years as a proper band. They are a fantastic rabbit hole to fall down. 👍
