Dust to Dust - THE WARNING - LIVE at Lunario CDMX (A Blind Reaction)

[@RajunCajunTWA]

The newest live version from last fall is at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX

[@Dave_Marks]

Not adult TW - Ale was 13, Pau was 16, Dany was 18. Still teenagers. If you want adult TW then the Teatro Metropolitan performance of this song is it when they were 17, 20, and 22. The bass here is a Rachel Bolan (Skid Row) signature model Spector. Ale does not have a signature model, yet. Ale’s current bass is a custom five-string Spector with the color, Ale’s Inferno, named after her, as she designed it. Ale is the principal composer/writer of this song at the age of 13! It started life as a bass riff she composed. Their first songs that they wrote were the ones on their EP Escape the Mind from 2015. Four of these were written individually and one jointly. Most songs start with Pau coming up with a fragment on the piano. Then the three fill out the song together.

[@armandogarza6181]

I believe Ale was 9, Pau was 12 and Dany was 14 when they penned the songs for Enter the Mind right?

[@SilvanaOriani]

@@armandogarza6181 Escape the Mind EP is from 2015 so, 10-13-15 were their ages...

[@don-music]

@@armandogarza6181 at the time of composing the songs? yes, probably 9, 12 and 14, finishing them up at ages 10, 13, and 15 in the studio recording and release year.

[@armandogarza6181]

@@don-music Yea, I think I read somewhere that Ale was 9 when she wrote the lyrics, not when the EP was released. Cheers.

[@sergiodelatejaytejeda]

I suggest you continue reacting to their performance at "Lunario" and any of their songs will be perfect because all those songs are rock masterpieces. But the best thing would be that you continue in the order in which this great concept-album was conceived, created and presented, remember TW doesn't make mediocre songs. Thank you for reacting again to TW. Greetings from México !! 🤘😁✌️

[@randymarple9830]

Ale's bass teacher also taught all the girls music theory and one of his assignments to the girls was to write a song, each one of them, by themselves. They were(I think) 9, 12, and 14yrs old. They began to collaborate with each other when writing shortly after that.

[@allsomad19]

Aleh's ( & the ladies) teacher was Pablo Gonzales Sarre, base player for Los Claxons (award winning Mexican rock group)... He still plays with Los Claxons and many others and solo work...

[@mrwolfe67]

The bass player is Ale (pronounced Ah-lay). I am sure someone else has told you but their second album is a concept album and it tells the story of a woman who loves someone who doesn't love her back. The songs are in order and they tell the story of a woman's decent into madness and murder and suicide. It is an incredible feat of musicianship that a 13 or 14 year old (Pau) conceived of this story and then wrote songs and music in a second language. Dust to Dust is the first song on the album. You can watch all of the songs in order from this performance (I think) and watch them in order. In this video I think Ale is 13, Pau is 16 and Danny is 18. A 13 year old laying down this bassline is also insane

[@morthnadic1]

Great reaction! Ale` was 13 years old at the time of this performance. Drummer Paulina starts most of their songs on piano with a melody and a verse and chorus. She brings it before her sisters and together they transpose each individual instrument's part. They finish the arrangement adding lyrics, bridges, and additional verses until they arrive at a completed song. They started writing and recording seriously when they were 15, 13, and 10 years old. 🗣 Thank you for ALL your support! 🤘🤓🍿

[@legslark]

Thanks for the reaction Walter! In the concert at their school, where you watched Crazy Train, they started out with 4 covers and then did 7 songs of their own music. Started writing very early!🤯🔥⚡️

[@R-Mouse2299]

I am soooo looking forward to seeing your reaction to Pau singing. Make it a good day brother✌️

[@TimberWolf762]

Pau came up with the concept but it was mainly just murders. Her sisters asked in horror "why is it so bloody?!" So they all got together and came up with the concept album _Queen of the Murder Scene,_ which tells the story of a disturbed young woman's inner journey from desire to obsession to murder and madness. The songs are told from the point of view of either the young lady's inner psychopath or her good side, which has a conscience - until it does not. Dust to Dust is a prologue. The Spanish section is that of a preacher saying that you can receive salvation but it is something that you must work for. The lyrics have deeply religious undertones - life is short and unpredictable (“How quickly things can unfold”); there is an afterlife (“and we shall start again” and “the truth found in death”); we should distrust false prophets (“where are you going? Don’t trust all that you hear”); and judgement (“I don’t seek right or wrong”). The next song, 'Crimson Queen', introduces the love interest.

[@Amaranthine1000]

God, I'd love to see and hear a Pau directors cut version of Queen of the Murder Scene (or should that be Author's preferred Edition)

[@eduardoe.1821]

[@jimlaheta8864]

Their first song written together is Free Falling, which is on Rock Band 4; a good live version is the Liceo performance at their school.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

Lunario is a nice, large modern performance arts entertainment facility in Mexico City. This concert was a huge deal for them. The crowd, largely long-term fans came literally from all over the world to watch this show. Ale composed the bassline of this song and the rest of the song evolved through the collaboration with Pau and Dany. The usual way they compose their music is Pau starts it off with the beat, the main riff and some lyrics. Not always, because each of them has composed complete songs. Shortly after their cover of Enter Sandman went viral and they gained a lot of media attention, Ale's bass instructor and mentor to the entire band challenged them to compose their own songs. That's really how their original compositions started. Then they attended a summer session at Berklee College of Music in Boston where they learned music theory and song composition among other things that further refined their skills. They recorded a six song EP called Escape the Mind which is comprised on their earliest compositions demonstrated their search for a music style and genre. Their first album, XXI Century Blood further defined their sound as hard rock. All throughout this time they were also arriving at their composition process. Although each of them were coming up with material, they were assisting one another in completing the songs. But it was during the composition of the songs for their second album, Queen of the Murder Scene, a concept album structured as a Rock novel about a troubled girl whose obsession turns to stalking and then murder and eventually madness for which Dust to Dust serves as a prelude, that The Warning arrived as their current method of creating their music. It is usually a Pau initiated process where she will create a rough demo on a piano or a midi keyboard plugged into her laptop. She presents it to Dany and Ale and they decide whether to work on the song or reject it and move on to something else. Pau is the primary lyricist, but both Ale and Dany contribution other lyrics in their process. QOTMS was pivotal for them as a band in that it was not only an ambitious undertaking for three teens to tackle, but it also pushed their limits at the time. The experienced a great deal of frustration with the songs but persevered to make something that is astonishing. Many of us fans believe it is their best album, though personally I am of a mind that whenever they create something new that immediately becomes their best.

[@danszczesny4405]

This is the song and version that started me on my TW journey. If you want something current(ish) - last fall - and live then literally anything that they have officially released from Teatro Metropolitan CDMX will blow you away!

[@danieljodrey]

I think you're ready now for Black Holes @Dakota Bar. It is kids playing at a bar for starters, but I'm not giving you any more spoilers than that. I will say that it is a song about addiction that Pau wrote at 13 and may give you some of the insight you are looking for. 🤯 You WILL be surprised. I LOVE THIS BAND !! 🤘😎👍

[@KansaSCaymanS]

They started writing their own songs while at the Berkeley Music School summer program which was made possible by an appearance on The Ellen (DeGeneres) Show in 2015. Their first EP Escape the Mind (released 2015) features the first songs they each wrote basically as assignments from their teachers, at the ripe old ages of 15,13 and 10. 😎👍

[@lonelywind3511]

Before Berklee. They started writing their own music when Pablo González Sarre was their teacher at home. He was originally Ale's bass teacher but he taught them as a group about the music business and pushed them to write their own songs. By the time they got to Berklee they had already written some but especially When I'm Alone was written at Berklee by Dany. That's how they were able to have a preview of RockBand 4 during that same trip & find that one of their earliest songs was already on it.

The Album where this song is taken from, 'Queen Of The Murder Scene' is a concept album, or Rock Opera if you will, that Paulina the drummer wrote when she was 14. It's a story about unrequited love that leads to obsession, stalking and finally murder and suicide, told from the point of view of the murderess, the 'Queen'. Dust to Dust is the prologue where the Queen meets the girls in a bar and tells her story. The guy who appears during the bridge is their manager Rudy Joffroy, preaching about sin and forgiveness. Paulina is the main composer of the band. Whenever she has an idea for a riff or a melody line she plays it on her keyboard and records it on her phone. She told in an interview that she has, at that moment, over 700 different snippets of sound and melody on her phone.... The process of composing and developing lyrics is then, after she presents a song idea or even a complete song to the others, undergoing disassembling and reassembling by all of them until they have a consensus that all of them like. Daniela has composed a few songs, When I'm Alone for example and Alejandra wrote River's Soul, I think.

[@Amaranthine1000]

While they started writing their own songs a little younger, it was after the explosion of the Enter Sandman video that they really began to focus on not being a cover band, they used the success of Enter Sandman to help propel their own original music. Escape the Mind was an experiment in trying to find their sound, XXI Century Blood gave them the direction they wanted and Queen of the Murder Scene, well that was just a masterpiece of rock and story telling. They took it several more notches higher with Error.

[@jafquist27]

They, the ladies, wrote ALL the lyrics, and ALL the music for EVERY SINGLE ORIGINAL SONG, until their latest single, "more", which was releases in late June 2023, and was their first time recording a song they had written in collaboration which other writer(s). How could you underestimate them? Self composing? Almost from the get go. Around the time of the original "Enter Sandman" cover, they started writing and recording songs as a band. I think Ale was still 9 when she was credited with the creative juice behind "Take Me Down", one of the songs off The Warning's EP "Escape The Mind", released in 2015. "Take Me Down" is the only song from the EP which was included, for a time, in set lists, after "XXI Century Blood", The Warning's first LP.

[@jimijamessegoviafeerick1355]

Love that you picked up on the awesomeness that is Alejandra ! Ale rules 🔥👑🔥 Thanks Walt 🤘😎

Man, you have a lot to watch... When you get to the Teatro Metropolitan performances, your brain will explode.

[@hantek1]

They recorded an album at home which is released in 2015 and their first studio album XI. Century Blood followed 2 years after. So it's safe to say that they were already on writing when they posted the Enter Sandman cover

[@timnye718]

at the time of this performance they were 18, 16, and 13 years old. Here is a documentary made by the girls. Here is a video documentary in their own words explaining this journey thus far (made in 2021): kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWjMgnpmqsxnfqs

[@reactionsaccount3955]

They have been self composing their music and lyrics since their first EP in 2015. Most of the time Pau comes up with a base for a song on the piano, then they all work on finishing the song together.

[@ignacioporchas7305]

It's been said that Ale is the pillar of strength that both Dany and Pau rely on.

[@zackashley7492]

You should start reacting to their interviews. The one with Allison hagendorf.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

For future reference, if there is a performance of a song from Teatro Metropolitan on their channel, I would recommend reacting to that, as this is by far the best pro shot live recordings.

[@jimvanderpool2946]

There is a short Warning documentary called Tidal Rising it will answer a few of your questions

[@davecalvin5105]

If you want to be impressed by their song writing, try Black Holes. The Live @ Dakota Bar version is great. It's a song about alcoholism written by Pau when she was 13.

[@dark.cheshire.1065]

Any of their music videos are great and very well produced. When it comes to The Warning, though, it is ALWAYS better live. That said, you might consider doing BOTH the video version and the live performance of one song each reaction video. For example, you've yet to watch the music videos for XXI Century Blood, The Pretender (Foo Fighters cover), Enter Sandman w/Alessia Cara, Evolve, Animosity, Martirio, Error, Money, and More. You could do a reaction to the music video and then the live version from Theatro Metropolitan CDMX or another venue. Can't wait for you to fall deeper and deeper in this rabbit hole of rock.🤘 😃🤘🎸🎶🎤

[@chrisflyingv]

Can't wait for your reaction to their version of enter sandman with alessia cara, and also their latest single "more"! Also "p.s.y.c.h.o.t.i.c" and "queen of the murder scene"

[@bloodybutunbowed291]

I'll just leave this here...all from that same night... I hope you are going to consider reacting to "Queen Of The Murder" in order. I don't know if you want to do it this way or not, but I went ahead and got all of the links from the same Lunario CDMX concert. I believe that this was actually the concert where they first presented their album to the public, live for the first time. It was recorded on November 25th, 2018. So at the time they played this concert, Ale was 13 years old, Pau was 16 years old, Dany was 18 years old. It's interesting how as the story progresses, you can see Dany getting more and more into character. If you consider they are performing in Mexico City at an elevation of 7300 feet, I think by the time they got to the end of the show they were pretty worn out but they still finished VERY STRONG!!!

Well yes, that's not a bar, but actually by then they had already been playing in bars for around 3 years, so that means that in fact they did play in bars as little girls even younger than in that video, And how did it work? Well, they just played their set and left, it was the protocol both in Mexico and in the United States

I'm sure you've already had every song they ever played suggested to you. I'm not planning to allow myself to be whipped into a frenzied clamoring for what you should react to next. It's a cheap ploy, it's common to other reactors, and it's disappointing.
