How they got their start! | Young Girls Love to Rock. | The Warning | TEDx | Reaction

[@TeemarkConvair]

i'm 79, a great g'pa, and these make ME tear up.. what a story,, so many of us are SO PROUD of them!!

[@jeffreygunn3530]

We're really fortunate to have all this video documentation of their early days.

[@timnye718]

I get emotional every time I see their TEDx shows. They are just so special and I love them like daughters and am fiercely proud and protective of them!

[@solarvanlife8177]

Both their TedX performances should be mandatory viewing in schools!

[@MirosTatarka]

As a Mexican one word!!! Proud

[@MrJest2]

More than one person has commented that Mony and Luis could - and perhaps _should_ - write a book on parenting, and supporting children's dreams.

[@ronhall5395]

I am not sure how many fans know it, but that first song , Rivers Soul was written primarily by a 9 yr old Ale. Awesome, I was climbing trees and crashing my bike at 9.

[@SDsailor7]

I had forgotten that Ale wrote River soul. Thanks for the reminder

[@knavekid]

Every time I see these two TEDx performance, I wonder how many people in the audience still follow their progress. Or perhaps rediscovered them more recently. It's so great that their musical development has been preserved so well in the many videos on KZbin, so even new fans can experience their journey from the beginning!

[@HarrymegamanDJ]

This is level 1 of knowledge of The Warning. It gives you the foundation of your fandom. They are still the same souls today, and have the same drive, having watched their TEDx performances you know the core of The Warning. TW is not just a rock band it is The Rock Band. Having watched these early and humble performances, you see that today they are still humans, not Rock'n Roll divas living the cliché Rock'n Roll life. They are on a road to the above and among other great bands of the past.

[@spaceknave]

I can’t imagine any other music video, 20 minutes long, that I’ve seen so many times, when it pops up I just automatically start watching. They are incredible back then and today and tomorrow.

[@alejandrovillela2400]

The mental bandwidth to multitask what Dany does it's just incredible at such young age and let's not even begin to mention Pau, is at least 4 times harder what she does playing and singing simultaneously and I love how Ale grooves so much to almost dance while playing that bass. These girls are amazing, Period. I just hope to live and see them become the biggest band in the world.

[@SDsailor7]

And don't forget the computer that sits next to her kit.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Ale’s talent, poise and confidence at that age was remarkable. 😎👍

[@SDsailor7]

Yes I agree.

Fun fact the parents actually tried to find a harp teacher for Ale so they where super suportive. Imagine if they found one there style would be very didrent today

Bass (and drums outside of solos) can be under appreciated but have gotten a lot more of my attention with the Warning. If you listen to the original "The Pretender", the bass gets buried under the guitars but in a trio Ale's bass work really stands out.

[@jimschoeff4185]

I feel the same as you about this foreshadowing their future. All of the hard work and sacrifices are paying off and they will continue to grow and climb to the top of the music world. We just returned from our vacation in Canada where we got to see them twice. It was serendipity for us because we planned our vacation last year before they announced their tour dates, so we had no idea we would get to see them live on our vacation. We had to change our itinerary a little to see them and it was worth it. This makes four times I have seen them live, and I will see them every time I get the chance in the future. As fans, we are lucky they have documented so much of their professional and personal lives and let us see so much of it. It makes them seem like members of our extended family showing us their home movies.

[@CarlD70]

Thank you so much Mrs. R for posting this up so quickly. After the 2017 TedX I realized that watching the 2016 TedX was a must. These young ladies are so damn inspiring, even to an old guy like me. They have given us so much of their lives to enjoy with everything they post for their fans, never ever seen anyone or any band like these girls. Appreciate the wonderful reaction from you and the insightful comments as well. I have older children now and proud of them and who they turned out to be. Watching these classy young ladies makes me proud of them and their wonderful parents. Cheers, stay well.

[@raymetalnegron9727]

This will always be so emotional for me . I am 57 and thought rock was dead ......LONG LIVE THE WARNING !!!

[@tomdillon9065]

They have an official video of The Pretender. Highly recommended. The talent at that age is mind blowing. Not a parent but I get teary watching them at this age. There’s something very special about these 3 that I can’t really explain. Can’t get enough of them.

[@LesDexia13]

With reference to your closing statements about how integral each instrument is, they learned songwriting AND arranging at the same time, back in 2013-14 when Ale's bass teacher Pablo González Sarre suggested they start writing their own music, so they began holding weekly meetings. At the end of each session he'd ask them to write a song in a specific genre for their next session, starting on piano to work out the melody and lyrics, then figuring out how to arrange it for a 3-piece band. Pablo says he would guide them by asking questions about what they are trying to say or how does the music convey their feelings instead of making his own opinionated recommendations. They became remarkably gifted at making it look and sound easy. No flash or wasted effort, every note necessary and heard clearly, proper use of silence and pauses, all done with microsecond timing. All this while they were still teens. Those "homework" songs were never intended to be released, but after their cover of Enter Sandman went viral in 2014 they decided they wanted to attend Berklee School of Music and released some of the songs as a fund raiser on the April 2015 iTunes EP "Escape the Mind". After they attended Berklee that Summer the remaining "homework" songs became the starting point for their first album, XXI Century Blood, released in 2017 when they were only 17-15-12.

[@jorgecolon2014]

They warm my heart, they are so humble and well spoken for their age. Ale is just so damn adorable at that age! Their musical talent is undeniable. They were already writing great songs and imagine how hard that is. I couldn't come up with something that good as an adult let alone as a kid.

[@gmantw]

They have always been something special, and these videos of them are like Ancient scrolls of history proving it. Generations to come will watch these, and they will be inspired all the same as we are now. Viva La Warning! ⚡

[@giovsant3049]

I also drop a few tears watching TW's videos, and not only at their slow songs, but because I also see these girls, now women, as an example of many things, leaving aside their musical talent, we are witnessing: 1. Extraordinary parents, thank you Luis and Monica for giving the world your greatest treasure. 2. Three loving, intelligent and grateful daughters, thank you Dani, Pau and Ale for being an example for young people and letting us, who are no longer so young, enjoy their talent and affection.

[@terrydoll91]

Excellent reaction, thanks for giving me the excuse to watch this performance again! I am so very impressed by these girls and love watching their content and seeing others find them as well. The first song was River Soul, there is a version of that song from their home studio with Ale on the lead vocals. Check that one out!

[@wannabedane4046]

The camera loves Ale, she was the most animated by then!

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

I'm with you on the tears. Gets me every time. I wanted to point something out. One of your pauses caught Ale with Pau in the background. Seeing them in a still like that after bother play so well, I found it striking hiw they were just little kids at that point. So impressive. Great reaction.

[@shrikepilgrimage5524]

“They don’t let it bother them…” Just listen to the lyrics of “Animosity” and “Apologize”. It REALLY bothered them! …but it didn’t stop them 😁

[@DarrellW_UK]

Having been followed them for so long now (way before this performance) I can say that when this was released it was 🤯, especially with everything else going on too! The next Tedx was better but this one should never be ignored, it shows so much about how good they were even then! Yeah, I get the peeling onions effect too, it’s only natural when you think so highly of them; to me they’ve always been like my favourite granddaughters, yeah I am that old 😂. It’s good to see how much you appreciate them, very heartwarming!

[@SDsailor7]

And some people queep dismissing this presentation and only recommend the second one.

[@DarrellW_UK]

@ yes unfortunately, it’s just misguided advice which is wrong because if you do this one first when the second one comes up it’s another level; the start of the exponential growth of their abilities.

[@SDsailor7]

@DarrellW_UK Yes exactly, it has a bigger impact to see the progress they had in just one year, and seeing Ale gow so tall. I wish more people recommended this one first. If DPA would have messed up the first one they would have not been invited for the second presentation, people don't think about that. That is the reason this one is so important.

[@SDsailor7]

Ale could barely hold on to her bass 😊 but look at her now. The goddess of thunder.

[@jeffreykuska7877]

Amazing and as tight as any band out there !!

[@boba6890]

Dany, Pau, and Ale come from a middle class family, definitely not wealthy. They have wonderful parents. Their dad's one prized possession was a limited edition BMW motorcycle; he sold it because his daughters said they wanted to start playing Rock, used the money to begin buying equipment necessary to make that dream come true, and also convert a family room into "The Warning Cave". Their mother, fiercely protective of her daughters, reviewed all the contracts they were offered by huge companies which would have led to instant fame yet destroyed who they are; their mother called these "Slave Contracts". This inspired the song "Money"; those contracts would have been a "Diamond noose at your throat" for these 3 remarkable sisters.

[@spidernose]

That's Pau's Death Stare. You don't see it a lot these days but you saw it all the time back then!

[@RockMusic1959]

I never get tired of watching These Ted Ex shows. Dany is covering 3 grown Men on Pretender. These young girls are not The norm. They have musical capabilities that are so incredible, BECAUSE of their hard work and deacation at a level very few have...

[@cncs2806]

They've always been wise beyond their years. 👏👏

[@williamburkholder769]

Playing and singing is a learned skill. It takes years of practice to do it right. These ladies have 11 years of that experience behind them, including hundreds of performances and thousands of hours of practice. One of my musician friends once said it's a lot like driving. Eventually, your subconscious takes over, and it's an autonomic function. You program your brain when you practice. My favorite part of this is Pau's speech after *The Pretender.* Finding your life's goal at 8, 11, and 13 is scary cool. YES, they spoke it into existence and practiced the hell out of it. They understand the process of manifesting their dreams. These early shows are really cool because they show the progress all the way. Pau's drumming on *Exterminated* is next-level stuff.

[@scottbradley6953]

And this was waaay before Anton told them to learn to play together as a band!?!? I definitely get what he saying,but this tell me that they were well on their way😊 Listen to Ale at age 11! She wrote those bass lines! But sadly I kinda miss our tiny punker & little queen of the ponytail whip😂 Though there's a Lot tot be said for Elegance these days,right?

[@LesDexia13]

My first exposure to TW was their music video for "The Pretender" and I was astonished at Pau's microsecond timing where she makes two or three separate strikes mere fractions of a second apart, and she does it here also, in a live performance. Not a musician, but holy smokes that seems like impressive talent for a 14 year old kid.

[@wannabedane4046]

Always love to see young Ale so animated - the bass is very heavy for her, she gets overwhelmed (who wouldn't at that age) she's magnifiient. So, are Dany and Pau also, magnificent, of course - you can already see the potential.

[@LesDexia13]

Ale and Dany both playing with wide finger spread (including pinky) and doing slides like it's no big deal.

[@LesDexia13]

I think Pau's speech is the back story of the caustic lyrics in the recent song "Animosity" which are allegedly about a former friend who wanted Pau to hang out with her instead of wasting so much time in a band that was never going anywhere.

[@kfh1]

What's cool for me is that I watched this video when it first came out back in 2016, and I've been along for the ride as their dreams became reality. I knew back then that these young Girls had real talent, and that they possessed the true passion to follow through with their dreams... And look at them now, as a supporter, I couldn't be happier for them!!!

[@christopheralan4845]

There is nothing for me to add here. Everything the commenters have said is on point, perfect actually, but I do want to recognize what Mrs. Realistic said. Your commentary throughout the video is perfect. I could not have added anything or said it any better. I too had privileged friends that took their lives and parents for granted, and never realized how lucky they were. My family struggled. My mother was a single mom working two jobs to provide for myself, and my two younger siblings. I would have given anything to have an Atari (now I'm aging myself), much less a guitar. Part of me is living through these young ladies, and their dream. I am a proud life-long fan of The Warning, and so proud of their accomplishments thus far. More so, I am even prouder of Dany, Pau, and Alé, the human beings. They are world-class role models, and I have no doubt that someday a little girl and boy will pickup a guitar or sit down at the drums and follow their dream because of them. Thank you ladies for breathing life back into the music I enjoy the most. ⚡️🤘⚡️

Sweet little Ale always gives me tears. Speaking in front of a strange audience in the US in English. They played this song for David Ellefson, original bass player for Megadeath. He suggested a single note change in a part of the song hearing it for the first time. They are speaking in their second language in front of this crowd.

[@vernhoke7730]

As I watch this video probably for the tenth time or more, along with the second Ted Talk, Alé is more animated. In later interviews, she's more reserved as she got older. Out of the three of them Alé, of course, has changed the most growing taller than both of her sisters. Dany has changed a little, but Pau, even though she's older now, looks exactly the same. Same fierceness, same look coming from behind her kit.

[@rgbenge7580]

They killed it at the MTV EMA's. Just saw them on MTV Network TV doing Automatic Sun.

[@davejohnston2197]

Exterminated has that metal sound from the 80s. They consistently get mixed up as a metal band, even to this day, but they're just playing hard rock. Even at this young, they played crossovers that 30 years earlier would've made them metal gods, and that wasn't their thing. It's a weird world we live in, but thankfully we have them to keep hard rock/old school metal, alive. ❤️⚡🤘 Loved the reaction as always!

Genuine is the word I use when describing DPA.

[@wannabedane4046]

"You're a girl, playing drums, is only for boys" - out of this came "Survive" that you show in the second TedX Talk. Moral . don't piss Pau, unless you want to end up at the song subject!

[@northof4912]

Having grown up with Led Zeppelin, The Who, Supertramp, etc, the importance of drums in rock music was possibly at its greatest time ever. There is a Zeppelin song, one of their maybe 7 minute varieties, where Bonham never repeats the same pattern in any one chorus, or even within each individual chorus. In the 80s, they became exactly what you said - just a backing rhythm. But not with these girls, and IMO, despite all of their other amazing talents, their use of drums as an equal instrument sets them aside from almost anyone else in rock music today!

[@TFT-JF]

🤘Don’t forget that English is their second language.
