CHECK OUT this BEAUTIFUL VIDEO - MARTIRIO!!

[@Dave_Marks]

So this was shot in the Icamole Desert about an hour north of Monterrey, Mexico. The ladies in the video are TW, their mom, a cousin and a friend. They originally didn’t intend on the fabric of the structure to be waving in the wind. When they returned home, they were covered in dust and sand. There is no such thing as “the Mexican Language.” Mexicans speak Spanish among many other languages. As with all Spanish-speaking countries the language has some differences in vocabulary and usage from other countries - especially with colloquialisms and slang. TW did a whole song about being criticized for not singing in Spanish - Narcisista. I’m glad you have recovered from alcoholism.

[@braunhausmedia]

He did say Spanish at first.

[@RockandRollRelic]

I know! I just watched it back and was shocked and embarrassed that I said 'Mexican' language. I know better. Just a slip of the tongue. No offense intended.

[@Shadowpuppet-jh9vn]

So that's what Narcisista is all about, OMG I just watched an version with english subtitles , I love it!!!!! How about that those girls are awesome!, Thanks for sharing, I would have never known!!! I love that song!

[@waynebenedict5785]

Music is the universal language! Yes, this so beautiful and I don't care about not knowing the words, it tells a story anyway!

[@gaefferson1]

One of my favorite songs from them ..🤘..they crush it every time .

[@tehawfulestface1337]

We all have songs in our past that when we hear it years later, we are transported back to that time or moment when we first heard the song. The Warning’s Martirio made me cry the first time I heard it. My mom and her side of the family all spoke Spanish. When she passed away three years ago Spanish is no longer heard in the house. Martirio made me realize just how much we had lost. The lyrics of the song fit my mom’s struggles and her strength, raising five kids on her own, dad worked overseas for most of their married life. Being the oldest I saw mom in her darkest hours, but not once did she hesitate or turn away from her responsibilities. Everytime I hear Martirio I remember another moment with mom. Over 50 years of memories I had long forgotten. Martirio brings it back, piece by piece. When Dany lets out that mournful wail at the end, I see mom in her darkest hours. I miss mom very much, and I love The Warning for bringing her back to me. Congratulations on your sobriety. I still hope that my dad will slow down on his drinking.

[@karig1994]

My husband stopped 23 + years ago when our first child was born, is the best thing he ever did for himself. Congratulations on your 4 years of sobriety.

[@apollok2997]

As fellow musician these young ladies have earned my respect they are badasses. Congrats on 4 years sober.

[@RcMcNutt]

Congratulations brutha!! It ain't easy. The last time I drank was August 19th, 1990. I woke up that morning UNDERNEATH my buddy's 72 Nova at a Music Festival. I had my guitar in one hand and a half empty fifth of Jack Daniels in the other. Lying there in the heat of an August morning, covered in sweat, puke and my own urine, a decision was made. I left that festival and hitch hiked to a recovery center one town away. I haven't had a drop since. I would love to tell you that I never want a drink. But I would be lying. It gets easier for sure but there are days (few and far between now) when I can taste it, like actually taste it. I just remind myself that my life is so much better today. I'm going to celebrate 34 years this August and I always tease my kids that "we're celebrating with a keg party this year!" LOL! In all honesty I would have been gone along time ago had I not quit when I did. AND the worst part? .........I never would have heard The Warning!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm proud of you man!

[@RockandRollRelic]

I truly appreciate your story and your well wishes! and congrats yourself!

[@cncs2806]

Martirio is a masterpiece.

[@TheEricBooth]

This song gives me some serious chills. The harmonies just hit my soul. Congrats dude.

[@ThisUsernameIsAlreadyInUse]

Great reaction! Martirio is one of my favorites. For me as a "Gringo" from the other side of the world, it somehow pours mexican soul. Congratulations to your four years and I am happy that you have found a way to laugh about it. This may be bold, but since you mentioned addiction, maybe you want to react to Black Holes sung by Pau at the Dakota Bar and see how you relate to this. 🙂

[@raiderfan346]

Those of us in The Warning Army appreciate your loyalty and support of our favorite band. This video is a classic and Dany's vocals are ethereal on this track. Hell yes we are all proud of your journey to sobriety. Stay strong Scott, life is good! ⚡⚡⚡

[@pablosartor6715]

Absolutely EPIC song and music video!! This awesome song is a rock anthem! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@raiderfan346]

To be honest this song is so great that I didn't even remember that it was in Spanish. These ladies sound great in any language and it is scary to think that they are only going to get better. ⚡⚡⚡

[@MrJest2]

I think the overall message of this tune is "sarcastic rebuke". Have you ever known someone who is doing something stupid, and you tell them they're stupid, but they keep doing it, and finally in frustration you just say, "OK, fine - if that's what you want to do, go ahead... but don't then friggin' _complain_ about it as you're doing it!!" It's like that. Without getting too involved, I _was_ the subject of this song for far too many years. And yes, I'm sure my own friends were fed up with me crying "woe is me!" all the time about a situation of my own making. Fortunately, I finally did wise up and correct my choices... but I spent WAY too many years in love with my own "martyrdom". I just wish this song had been around back then; it might have made me snap out of it sooner. Sadly, I think the lady's _parents_ were teens back then and probably hadn't even met yet... 😋

[@mjc1389]

Rudy, their manager, has experience in Hollywood. I believe he worked on Titanic. TW have found a way to create pretty high quality videos on a shoestring budget stemming from their years as an independent band. Martirio is just a beautiful song complimented by an equally stunning video.

[@kikegavilan3873]

BEAUTIFUL SONG!

[@randymarple9830]

We have all done things we're not proud of and more than less, alcohol was involved. Glad to say I never hurt any one, glad and lucky.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Damn straight. Things, at so many points, could have easily taken a much darker turn than just a peeing on the pillow story. I'm also glad and lucky :)

[@abjbusti8586]

I cut back drinking substantially. You should react to The Warning song Black Holes which is a song about addiction written by 13 year old Pau. Many grown men have shed a tear on that one.

[@RussInCanada]

I love how they're able to make epic videos on a budget.

[@renehernandez3712]

I Love This Song! As many great songs the Warning has written, this to me is the Best!!!

[@christinaalgate4899]

Congratulations on your Sobriety. You have to react to this song at Teatro.

[@braunhausmedia]

Congratulations. Last time I got drunk was thirty years ago when I completely embarrassed myself, wound up on my boss's bathroom floor, and ultimately dragged myself into my house doing the walk of shame when I saw my two children waiting up for me with my wife. I'll never forget the looks on their faces. I wouldn't classify myself as having a drinking problem, but I did drink, and I haven't been drunk since that night. What I learned is that alcohol can be extremely destructive for me if I allow it to be, and I admire anyone who manages to get sober. Stay strong.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Very kind words. I think I got this one... :)

[@darrinashby9019]

Good on you my friend. The Warning is a far better addiction. I dont speak any Spanish but the music is amazing. Danys vocals are incredible, and the cadence of the lyrics is fantastic. Dany pours herself out on this song at the Metro show. You can feel the passion.

[@WaldoKitty]

in the OMV, the covering over the building frame was not supposed to be shredded... it was assembled whole but the winds had other ideas so DPA/TW and the team decided not to fight it... the flapping canvas makes for a nice atmosphere and works pretty well for this for the video and what the song represents... this is not the first time they've had to deal with the winds, either... one or two of their other MVs that were shot outside were also on windy days... their Foo Fighters cover of *The Pretender* comes to mind... there were also comments about how the blowing sand stung and caused them to feel like they had a sunburn... they did a great and professional job, that's for sure 😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@mrh3578]

My favorite video of theirs. Beautiful production and wonderful song

[@stillracer2514]

One day at a time!

[@waynebenedict5785]

"Martirio" is one of favorites along side "Kool Aid Kids". Congrats on four years and to many more!

[@loydgeorge639]

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Stay strong, Scott. God bless!!

[@davidspriggs5024]

I give a shit, congratulations.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Thx, brother

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

I generally prefer seeing the live performances when it comes to The Warning, but this video is amazing! Congrats on being sober, just over 3 years for me, and yes I do miss it at times, I am glad I quit!

[@markdicesare7936]

Congratulations on 4 yrs and many more. Also I don’t speak a lick of Spanish but this is one of my favorites heavenly vocals killer drum beat heavy bass and smoking guitar plus the ending, holy crap

[@tomcanfield705]

My SO is recovering, for...i don't actually remember how many years, but that police stop was the beginning of recovery. Evidently I am an Earth person.

[@jamessummerlin9516]

Love the production on this video, The Warning know how to get it done. As for your story, as an old Rock musician I’ve heard and seen about a dozen variations on this theme. I quit drinking for 28 years, so congratulations on your 4 years, really, it can be done. I agree, I enjoyed some aspects of drinking and kind of miss certain parts. I think those that say they miss nothing of their drinking days are either lying or were never drinking for the right reasons to begin with. But, I consider it like a bad relationship with a person, it’s okay to miss the good times, though you definitely don’t want to forget the bad ones so you’re never stupid enough to though that crap again. I think The Warning are addiction enough for me in my old age.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Wise words... thx for the encouragement

[@paramisony618]

Felicitaciones! Tu esfuerzo vale la pena. Martirio es una hermosa y potente canción con una gran mensaje.

[@carlnietoweise4653]

Congratulations! Life is tough enough but it's tougher when you're always drunk. believe me, I know.

[@marting.h.9417]

Thanks for your reactions to The Warning. Me, too, recommend “Black holes” (live) Greetings from México.

[@LostHate]

Congrats on 4 years. Just over 7 for me, not alcohol but other stuff. The part of this video that always gets me is the slow motion parts of the video, if you notice they are still playing on the beat and in time with each other. That means they had to change the tempo of playing when recording but not look like they were playing faster. If that makes sense.

[@oregonlt3]

Martirio in Mexican Spanish also translates to torment. So to me the lyrics read as SELF-torment or martyrdom. People in perpetual “victimhood”. “You suffocated with your own hands”. “In your martyrdom (torment) drown”. Of course as always they leave the interpretation up to the individual listener & their unique experiences. “Music is that one companion …the one who will know exactly how you’re feeling.” Daniella Villarreal 2017

[@ricks5360]

Congratulations 👏 Hopefully it will get easier over time and your life will be full!

[@RockandRollRelic]

Yes it will

[@lasombra68]

Congratulations!. I know where you're coming from. I quit cold turkey 30 years ago. I switched to edibles (😂 just kidding). I was in the Army for 16 years. Drinking was part of the culture. Had a lot of fun drinking. Also a lot of problems. Got married and started a family that helped a lot to give it up. Good luck on your sobriety.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Thx for the well wishes.

[@Altanon]

Congratulations! I was doing stuff a lot worse, in many ways, than drinking and I quit October 23, 1982. Hang in there.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Thx, brother

[@jeffteague3096]

I’m enjoying your journey with The Warning very much. Martirio is an amazing anthem that has grown on me a ton. The Teatro version gives me chills. I, too, am a friend of Bill. Thanks for sharing and congratulations on four years. We’ve got today, brother, and I’m so grateful.

[@lasombra68]

There is a live version of Martirio from Teatro Metropolitan concert. It's totally awesome. Check it out!.

[@TerryParsons1724]

Well done I give you a lot of credit and kudos my friend it's 14yrs for me and I liked drinking too. It's a daily struggle that is ongoing and I wish you success in your recovery. This video is very cool they sound so awesome as with most TW songs the live version is very good too. Thanks Scott great reaction.

[@RockandRollRelic]

Thx Terry. And congrats on YOUR 14 years! Awesome :)

[@mithrandir1102]

Eyy dear friend, thanks for your great reactions to The Warning music, I think you would enjoy this particular song live from the Teatro Metropolitano, I'm eager to see your reaction on that, and of course, congratulations on your anniversary, keep it up!

[@rexwave4624]

Martirio = Victimhood. Apparently the wind tore the shelter to shreds. Serendipity! Recoded at double speed for smooth slo-mo. My favourite Warning song that I yell as best I can when I see them live. Your story is poignant. It means a lot.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

Love this song. Has a very anthem like quality. Very powerful. As far as the lyrics go, TWA will either confirm or correct me but their mom helps write the song lyrics in Spanish. The girls say writing in Spanish is much more difficult with the grammar structure. I can see on Spotify that Monica Velez (mom) has a writing credit on the new song Que Mas Quieres

[@scottinokc]

Regardless of the language, Martirio is just a beautiful song; I have NO idea what I'm singing, but you simply can't help yourself. While the Teatro Metropolitan version is amazing of course, my favorite is the ladies performing Martirio in the SiriusXM studio. There's something magic when those three are in a small area wailing away on their instruments, kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKOQdXuabcqmo8U

[@gmantw]

Out of all their Official Production videos, This is my favorite. They put a lot of work & effort into the making of it, and it came out superbly. Congrats on 4 years. It's a disease of the mind, and everyone is different, when it comes to full recovery. The cravings and Urges never go away for some, but for others, they do. One Day at a time Brother. 🤘

[@RockandRollRelic]

Thx for the encouragement. I think I've got this one :)

[@gaefferson1]

They do have a live version from teatro

[@tomcanfield705]

Narcisista, about those who put TW down for writing and singing in English, has a Mexican slang word. Malinchista is a term some Mexicans use to describe other Mexicans who show a preference for foreign things, speak gushingly of the order and tidiness to be found abroad, or are critical of Mexico and Mexican ways vis-à-vis their foreign counterparts. So, na na na na na...I'm not crazy or a malinchista, sings Pau

[@lonelywind3511]

Martirio and Evolve are generally their set closers for their headlining shows though with newer songs they will have to change it up. Too many good songs to fit, especially in 30 or 45 minute sets.

[@syrius1]

Congrats on your stop drinking anniversary, please keep on going, not just your friends and family will thank you, but also your liver.

[@jluisg622]

Martirio : un buen riff y un bello solo de los mejores temas del album ERROR , un himno de rock,The Warning y sus excelentes temas ,Martirio un rock que se escucha y se disfruta

[@johndziadyk8624]

It is live at Teatro Met.

[@beriben]

Yes, congrats on the anniversary of your life altering commitment!

[@TFT-JF]

Congratulations on your sobriety. It’s worth it.

[@Shadowpuppet-jh9vn]

Dude, I love this song, I don't speak Spanish but this song is awesome, it reminds of an anthem song, anyhow I've listened to it a few dozens times now and I'm an old Day on the Green guy. 1978 Day on the Green #5 Ted Nugent, Blue Oyster Cult, Journey, AC/DC and Cheap Trick, I was there. I got one better December 6th 1969 Rolling Stones Free Concert Altimont Raceway Livermore Ca, Greatful Dead, Santana, Jefferson Airplane, Crosby stills and nash, Young flying Burrito Bros. Me and my buddy climb part way up one of the speaker towers, clear view of the stage. Watched the Stones Helicopter come in for a landing.

[@spidernose]

If you think that was good check out the Teatro Metro performance. Just greatness.

[@pattyraczynski9566]

Congrats on the sober anniversary. I also quit in 2018…so this year is 5 years for me. I miss it at times, but would rather live. Whatever you do…..no alcohol. Give kratom or CBD a try. Kratom is also addictive…gotta be careful with that. As far as this music…not my cup of tea. Still waiting to see your response to The Driver…by Måneskin. Im obsessed! Stay sober my friend! 👍🏻

[@genboyer]

Aloha "Old Fart" it occurs to me that you were born several centuries too early. You would have been happier in the Star Trek era where they had synth-ahol...all the euphoric feelings but when needed you can completely regain your faculties. And none of the deleterious effects on the liver. LOL TMI dude!
