Grunge Rock is Back | Worship Drummer Reacts to "Disciple" by The Warning

[@RandyTWA]

Disciple is a “warning” against blind devotion to whoever has the most appeal regardless of substance.

[@mykemech]

Dany says "The sun is your enemy today" and then later Pau said "The sun is my enemy today" Illustrating how a disciple will believe and repeat whatever her hero says, no matter how unreasonable or absurd.

[@LesDexia13]

They are not cookie-cutter lyric writers. This song is a sarcastic back-and-forth between two social media stereotypes, a malicious spreader and a blind follower. "Queen of the Murder Scene", their second album, is described as "a concept album 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."

[@Biomirth]

I like this. You're adding the right depth to give the context for their writing style. This isn't casual writing. It's refined, and for me at least, it's brilliant.

[@DiZastur]

@@Biomirth yay, positive output for positive responses, like a breath of fresh air, I was just gonna say it's about social media"s impact, but that was way better

[@thsc9119]

The meaning of the song is in the title. It's about blindly and unthinkingly following a leader. Their sound is HUGE and it's because of their rhythm section. Bass and drums alone can fill the auditorium if Dany stops playing guitar entirely. Pau, the drummer is a fully capable lead singer as well, and from behind the drum kit! Many people will recommend Dust to Dust to hear her sing and play, but really the song 23 is her best drumming plus singing performance. You'll be blown away! There is a song sung in Spanish, Narcisista, where Pau lets a friend take over drums and she sings from stage front. She's got stage presence out the wazoo.

[@CDMS_pt]

In an interview, Paulina Villarreal explained that the song is about how opinions are bought on social media and fed to people in a way that they don't even know, breeding ignorance and cultivating hate for power and money.

[@lancealot3867]

Dust to dust from this same concert. It’s incredible!

[@corneliuscrewe8165]

Dust to Dust is amazing. Sinister Smiles from just about anywhere is also top shelf Warning content.

[@northof4912]

And everything else…

[@WNYretiree]

This is such an intelligent song. Like a group that makes you sit and think.

[@ManicSloth24]

It’s about thinking for oneself and not following the herd

[@chriso6719]

Yes, that is the drummer singing, and killing it. Pau sings co-lead here with Dany. And , yes, that fill !!!, one of my favorites🤘🤘 . Disciple is from their 3rd album, Error. Love this song as an early reaction because you get lead vocals from all 3 of them. Co-lead from Dany and Pau, and the "2 3 Go" line is Ale's. Dany and Ale both have l.e.d.'s on the necks. One of the things mentioned in the gear master video rundowns on "digital tour bus'. each sister has an episode. No , not climate change. Here is what Pau said: "So Disciple is about social media and how opinions are bought on social media and are fed to us in a way that we don’t even know. And how by breeding ignorance and cultivating hate people gain a lot of power and money. So that’s what Disciple is about" Pau sings full lead on some songs too, try "Dust to Dust" or "23" from this concert to see that.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

It is not just the drum fill, which is great, it is performing the drum fill while singing lead and not letting it affect your vocals. 🤘🏻

[@GilbertClark]

Evolve from last years MTV VMAs is awesome. These ladies are keeping Rock'n'Roll alive.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

The talent level of this band is unreal! The Warning are the future of Rock music!

[@mafufo]

Well is not just grunge, they are special, like a mix of many things we rock lovers like!

[@tsunami-lightwave9395]

Disciple is about blind followers of any ridiculous things on social media. That closing line "You shall remain - inside your space - of ignorance!" says it all. Their song XXI Century Blood from their first album back in 2017 has a similar message about the dangers of getting completely absorbed into social media and ignoring reality. If you haven't checked out the video for that one yet, you really need to (also written by them when they were just between 12 and 16). It is absolutely EPIC.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

This was the second of two sold-out shows in a prestigious theater in Mexico City where it is considered an honor to perform. The venue seats somewhere around 3500 people. Last year they sold out an 8000 seat venue in Mexico City. They just put tickets on sale a week ago for a concert in February at a 10,000 seat nvenue and it sold out in less than a week. They are adding another date in the same venue. SO, they are becoming more popular in Mexico. They are currently on their first headlining tour in Europe were they have sold out every show in fairly good sized venues. Their audience is growing worldwide.

[@franciscodiaz183]

If Paulina's ability to sing while playing the drums catches your attention, I recommend two songs in this same "Teatro Metropolitan" concert. - Dust to dust. - 23 In my opinion, Paulina is one of the most brilliant drummer-singers of the millennial period.

[@pdxgrl1]

Dust to Dust is a must watch. They both share lead vocals on this song.

[@pjdambra]

This concert video maybe the best live concert I’ve seen and heard. The sound is incredible for a live concert. I’ve must have watched it a dozen times. Pau is a machine. I’ve never heard a better drummer / Singer than Paulina. She’s a Rock Goddess. The way she dances and performs behind the kit is mesmerizing. She such a Tiny Dramatic Dynamo that beats the hell out of those drums. I’m 74, and these kids make me feel young again. There’s so many videos to watch here on KZbin I can’t stop watching them all. Ten years worth of content.

[@braddentrujillo2050]

This is a duet of Dany playing the part of a cult leader and Pau playing the part of the disciple. Pau sings lead from the first chorus and ends her first part with the “Swimming with the fishes” stanza. This song is about blindly following people on social media and repeating what you see or hear on social media, whether it’s true or not. Pau ends the song with a final Warning…”You shall remain, inside your space, of ignorance!”⚡️🤘🏽

[@vanlepthien6768]

Pau said that a lot of work went into figuring out how to do the drumming while singing in this one. She pulled it off completely.

[@ichabodcrane2959]

It's about people being followers on social media

The band said it is a statement about those who profit from spreading hate and misinformation on social media, not climate change, though most of their songs have lyrics open to interpretation depending on the perspective of the listener. 😎👍

[@teckreactions]

Interesting.

[@AKFishgod]

Have to check out Pau in all her glory and watch “Dust to Dust” from the same concert. One of my favorites.

[@saltydroog854]

This entire set is absolute fire. This 1 hour and 40 minute set is on my every day playlist while I'm working. There is something about their song writing that is instantly and immediately familiar and catchy. They feel like songs you heard years ago and are just remembering then now, the first time you hear them.

[@aliciaa6203]

They never disappoint. TY!!! 🔥⚡️🤟🏼💖

[@cncs2806]

They have 3 albums and 1 EP: 45+ original songs, all written by them. Their soon to be released 4th album "Keep me fed" is the first time they worked with co-writers. They said they wanted to get out of their bubble and experiment trying something different but they still had creative control over their songs.

[@the_hetman]

I saw The Warning live on Sunday and they were amazing. They did the extended version that they did here with Dany getting the audience to participate and everyone was singing along. You mentioned the LEDs on Dany’s PRS. I noticed at the gig that her burgundy one has red LEDs and the blue one has blue LEDs. Ale’s basses are the same with the fire burst bass having red LEDs and her new blue one having blue LEDs.

[@jbk1961]

Check out Dust to Dust from the same concert. Pau the drummer is lead singer.

[@MULEHEAD73]

Dani and Pau were on fire but it wouldn’t work without Ale’s power and control. 3 tremendous musicians.

Please check out Dust to Dust live from Teatro Metropolitan next! Pau sings lead on it.

[@christerfurberg6538]

I read somewhere that Pau practices singing on the treadmill sometimes, to get used to controlling her breath with an increased heartrate

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

WOW! Brilliant devotion!

[@thontor]

1:04 Their reaction to finding out they would be opening for Muse is priceless. I would highly recommend checking out this video showing how every time they are asked "if you had your pick of any band, who would you want to open for" and they say Muse.. Muse is a huge influence on them and then at the end you see their reaction when they are told. It's great stuff. Only 1 minute long. Link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gYWweYVjgJ16o5o

[@joeturner1181]

Dust to Dust, Revenant, and Narcisista from this concert highlight Pau in different ways (and Revenant is a different style than they usually do.) Everything from this concert is gold. Enter Sandman, Atlas Rising, and The Pretender are about the only covers the band does. Pau did an absolutely stunning cover of Creep (on par with Haley Reinhart's and the original.) Everything else they do is their own material.

[@alfredobaraccomiller6257]

Drummer was singing since the beginning, she is the lead singer in some songs, in this one both sings. wanna see her sing, well from this concert you may watch 23, dust to dust, revenant,

[@elvwood]

I think I said before, anything from this concert is worth doing - _Dust_ _to_ _Dust_ may be a good next stop. I'm still buzzing from seeing them live on Monday, they were just awesome! Enjoy.

[@bjetpilot]

If I had to pick a character in a video game with the best of all stats, based on a song, like 4 out of 5 strength, 4 out of 5 spirit, 4 out of 5 everything else, The Warning - AMOUR Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022 would be the song.

[@mafufo]

The drummer is Pau, yeah sometimes she takes the lead vocals! Your are right, can be several things, social media, politics. They left the lyrics' interpretation open.

[@jcparker500]

You should check out "Dust to Dust" from the same concert. The drummer (Paulina/Pau) sings lead on that one and her voice is special. The breath control while drumming is something to see/hear. As you journey down the rabbit hole, you will discover that their lyrics are always really deep. Their song writing skills match their musical talent.

[@yeticatcher]

They write their all of their own material (50+ songs), with a few exceptions, especially lately on their latest album where outside writers and producers have co-writing credits. A few songs have been released as singles from the new album so far that is due to release in full on June 28.

[@Altanon]

Yeah, THAT fill - WHILE singing!

[@ZWQ945]

In 2023, TW opened for Muse 4x in Mexico, then Matt Bellamy invited them to open for Muse on their European tour for another 5 shows. Matt Bellamy, a co-owner of Manson Guitars, gifted Daniela a custom yellow Manson "Onyx" guitar as well. They switch harmonies and lead on several songs. Ya gotta keep up if you don't know the difference in their voices. Paulina has a distinct timbre to her voice different from Daniela. Both the bass and the lead guitars have led's on their necks.

[@teckreactions]

Insane.

[@lonelywind3511]

@@teckreactions Also note that they did two tours in 2022 with Halestorm. Lzzy Hale was impressed enough she got with Fender and had an Explorer guitar set up for Dany which she surprised Dany with mid-concert during a planned guitar change. BTW, The Warning is joining Halestorm again this October for a Canadian tour headlined by Evanescence & Halestorm. Both the bassist and the guitarist have LEDs on the necks of their instruments. You should check out the Digital Tour Bus Gear Masters episodes 471, 473 and 475.

[@Flatspare]

They have some slower, emotional songs too. Like "Revenant", or "Breathe". Pau won't do "Breathe" live at their show's, but did it for their 10th anniversary show at The Pepsi center in Mexico city as a thank you to all their fans who have followed them from the beginning. ( or at least that's what I read somewhere.) It's powerful. Both songs are just as amazing as the bangers.

[@tenfodaddy4351]

Goosebumps

[@andreamoya5569]

It is not about climate change lol. It is about following ideas without thinking (becoming a disciple) Dany starts singing the sun is Your enemy today, and then Paulina the drummer sings the sun is My enemy today, like a good disciple who is just repeating like a monkey what the other said. They said this is about following social media ideas without a critical mind. I always thought it was also about cov**d cause when was the sun our enemy? Meaning that we couldn't get outside of our houses. Anyhow, it is not about climate change.

[@mjeffn2]

The only way to describe Pau’s fills is flat out kick ass, but that’s just the really noticeable part of her performance. When she seamlessly flows syncopation in and out of the pocket is truly where her brilliance is on display.

[@teckreactions]

[@maximelesperance4132]

The “EnterSandman” is not their very first video on YT. It just happens to by their 1st viral one. They have a few older performance of them as a band on their page.

[@EllieAngharad91]

Any song from this concert is great but you should definitely check out their reimagination of 'Enter Sandman'. They also performed two songs at the MTV VMAs and blew the roof off! And they just dropped a new music video two days ago for 'Qué Más Quieres'.

[@knavekid]

I think the 2017 TEDx performance where they introduce three songs from their soon to be released first album would be an excellent next video to react to. A bit longer, but well worth it as they talk about themselves briefly between songs.

It is a warning to us not to follow all we hear or see on social media or tv. Yes, they write most of their own songs and no longer do covers except for the re-imagined Enter Sandman they collaborated with Alessia Cara and made it their own. Any song you play from this concert is fire. The whole concert is on KZbin and is a must see. My suggestion for what to play next is the songs Dust to Dust or 23 to see Pau the drummer sing lead. Yes, she sings lead while drumming. They also just released a new music video today for one of their latest songs Que Mas Quieres in which Pau, the drummer created and directed the video. I would also do a reaction to the video as it tells a story. All the lyrics in the video are in their native language and Mexican.

[@jasonremy1627]

A new video by The Warning just dropped TODAY. You've got to check it out. It's tons of fun. It was co-written and co-directed by Pau. It's great.

[@ManicSloth24]

I suggest the Enter Sandman cover live at teatro, it will blow you away

[@krash66]

Hahaha. I love how it took you half way through the song to realize that Paulina (drummer) has been singing the whole time. She is singing background harmonies, half the chorus, the whole second verse and the acapela breakdown. LOL. But, I hate the way they cut this video that had almost NO closeups of Paulina singing, not even her acapela solo. Yes, they wrote the song to be about social media and how it divides people into their information bubbles to make them "disciples". But, they purposely write their lyrics vague enough so they can be interpreted by the listener. Their songs are about what the listener gets from them and not necessarily their original intended theme.

[@teckreactions]

She wasn't singing the whole time though. The camera is on the guitar player and she's clearly singing the first verse and chorus.

[@danw1955]

Their chord progressions are reminiscent of Steely Dan back in the 70's and 80's. They had chord progressions and vocal harmonies that were off the wall, but they just worked! If you watch some of their vlogs and interviews, Pau sort of explains their musical (and composing) progression throughout three different full albums (soon to be 4). 'Queen of the Murder Scene' it was all about key changes! That sort of carried into 'Error', which this song is from. Guaranteed you won't run out of material to react to for quite a while, between the studio albums, pro-shot live stuff, fan videos, interviews, vlogs and more!!! You can pretty much pick any song you want and it'll be good.😄 They're almost a unicorn in the rock world, since I don't know of any other band in existence that doesn't have at least one or more crappy tunes.
