I NEED MORE!!!! | Music Teacher Reacts to More by The Warning | Live 2023 MTV Video Music Awards

[@paulrowe006]

Ale doesn't get enough credit but does some fantastic work. The main thing is they all play to serve the song. Not to show off.

[@garye4145]

I could not agree with you more Paul. They play in service of the song and they play because its what they absolutely love to do! There is no ego just fun.

[@nichep1]

Yep. Ale is doing those bass lines while she’s SINGING! She’s such an elegant badass.

[@randymarple9830]

When Ale was16 yrs old, Davis Bendeth, the producer of their 3rd album, said "Ale can hang with the best of them." The amazing thing is, she can play those bass runs and sing intricate vocals like it is second nature.....because it is. TEAM ALE!

[@wolfgangwalk337]

These women have 70 years of rock'n'roll history in their toolbox - and they are masters (mastresses?) of all the tools inside it. Those grungy bends downwards are killing me each time.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

The musical philosophy of this band is simple, only do what the song, the music is calling for, no ego, no virtuosic display for self-gratification, just the music. Also they have released a few live performances of new songs from their upcoming album. Hell You Call A Dream from Pepsi Centre and Automatic Sun from Tecate Pa'l Norte Festival are fantastic.

[@Caldyman]

You're absolutely right Shawka. "More" was used in The Warning's Pepsi Black commercial.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

It was also used during some sporting events, if I remember correctly

[@GregPourciau]

@@reactionsaccount3955 There cover of "Enter Sandman" was used on some sports channels not sure about "More".

[@reactionsaccount3955]

@@GregPourciau I know for a fact that More was used during Thursday Night Football back in November.

[@wchaza67]

Ale at just 18 years old here is so subtly nasty with that bass. Dany's little half smile at the end says it all - "Yeah, we killed it." Love it! Great reaction and breakdown.

[@DrasalKat]

I watched a video where Pau said she practiced playing the exact time when Ale would play her note. They time off Ale. Ale is their Entwistle and Pau is their Keith Moon.

[@DrasalKat]

@@Bulldbill I know, I always get The Who vibes from the official Evolve video with Pau making all the faces.

[@keithwillenson8314]

For this band, that's "Pau bell." Also, they write and play their own backing tracks. So insane coordination with the backing track is not surpising.

[@G-DOGBONEY]

Yo, Dr Willenson...are you like a feaking music doctor or some sh*t? You damn right you are...great comment!

[@yeticatcher]

As musicians, these girls tend to be underrated because they aren't flashy or over the top technical. They serve the song and don't look to be showy. Ale has had some funk and jazz bass training by Pablo Gonzales Sarre her longtime instructor and teacher of music theory for the band.

[@CarlD70]

Love to know who is underrating these Ladies....would be interesting to know.

[@yeticatcher]

@@CarlD70 I can’t pinpoint who, but I see ridiculous comments on some of the short videos of Ale or Dany saying things like “no talent or no skills”. Usually trolls.

[@MrJest2]

@@yeticatcher This is true - and it's mostly about them not being "showy". They don't need to be, and know it. They are pretty much their own thing, and they like it that way.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

It is very rare to find a band that can constantly deliver the goods, The Warning is one of those bands!

[@sergioperez2594]

Great analysis, thank you. What most impresive for me is that they and only them three are the FULL show, they do everything, sing, play, perform...and it's an amazing show. I have seen singers who step on stage accompanied with 15 more musicians and back up singers and they don't perform at this level, not even close.

[@louiebee6745]

Ale's intro on Burnout live...WOW!!🤘⚡

[@g.garcia7151]

I appreciate your excellent analysis and technical insights. One of the things I love most about TW is their taste and restraint, which they’ve had from the beginning. They don’t play just for the sake of showing off and know that staying in the pocket can be the most impactful choice.

[@ohTHATaaronbrown]

> leave me beggin' for more ^ it's right *there* :)

[@darrinashby9019]

I really like Ale's lick coming out of the bridge. It is easily missed because we all love to hear her sing. This is one addiction and can get behind. Just embrace it.

[@black-eyedNed]

Fingers flying !

[@mykemech]

Did you notice the "spoken" part was in one range the first time, then an octave higher the next time? They are the masters of the subtle build-up

[@thontor]

They have historically written all of their own music but for the first time they have started having others come in and write with them for this song and other songs off of their upcoming album, Keep Me Fed. I think they said they wanted to expand their horizons a bit and they have also been very busy touring while writing for this album. This particular song's writing credits include Dany, Pau, and Ale along with Danielle NIcole Rubio and Anton Curtis DeLost (who is also the producer on this album.)

[@brianslifeafterstroke5990]

you cant help by being pulled in by the music and personality oh the ladies...no worry I really appreeciate their music; because I haven;t really enjoyed anything like this since 70's-80's...I really like tour reactions...

[@mjeffn2]

Speaking as a fine artist, a painter, the hardest thing to learn is eliminating all of the information that is superfluous and doesn’t need to be included leaving only what needs to be there to convey the message. The Warning are far beyond their years in being able to do this.

[@gladishernandez5102]

Wanna try a cherry on top for this performance?? React to Evolve next 😌 from the same MTV Music Award Show, that one is going to blow your mind!! 🤯🤯🤯

I know the band has dreams, but this is like our dreams as fans coming true of the music spreading and spreading.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

The song More was used as part of a Pepsi Black commercial campaign, but I thought it was only used in Mexico. Based on the comments, it sounds like some folks recall hearing it during the intros or outros of NFL games, which is awesome if true. Here’s a KZbin short of the Pepsi ad and the full length ad which has other artist and music. • ¿A qué te sabe Pepsi Black? - KZbin Shorts - kzbin.infoBs6JDeJkalc?si=qUBA72hFefhn_E17 • The Warning - ¿A qué te sabe Pepsi Black? - kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooiaXnaFirqld5Isi=cSyht3kuvjHaktm4

Come down the rabbit hole...

[@kunaekinslaughterer]

Why do you love them? Their energy and enthusiasm, on top of their raw skills.

[@100_Chris]

Great analysis! Interesting breakdowns! Look forward to “more” 😊. As you are a music teacher: they have 4 songs from a LIVE Session on their channel, the audio is very “honest” - I highly recommend ANIMOSITY. Keep up the good work!

[@ShawkaReacts]

Will do!

[@charleswharmbyiii8401]

If you've not seen them live yet, you gotta do it! I'm heading home to California after seeing them with Band Maid in Tokyo! What a show! They closed the show with both bands on stage playing a new song they worked out over the two weeks before the event! Seeing Pau and Akane scorching their drum kits side by side, staring into each other's eyes while Ale and Misa stood side by side hammering the bass, and Dany/Saike belting out the lyrics was an emotional/spiritual experience. I'm new to your channel, so I don't know if you're familiar with Band Maid. If not, check them out please. And, as Gladis said below, the next song you should react to is "Evolve" from the same VMA show! It'll knock your socks off!

[@oldmanyeni1663]

I think this may be my favorite song so far from this album. Why? The bass groove during the verse caught me from first listen. I also like the tasty little grace notes from the drums. Welcome to the world of the Warneros. This is a great rabbit hole to explore as you are finding out.

[@juannr4716]

Great analysis! 👍🏼

[@ShawkaReacts]

Thanks!

[@WaldoKitty]

when DPA/TW play *MORE* live, it hits harder and has a rougher, grungier sound than the studio version in the OMV... the OMV is a fun video with DPA/TW playing and dancing around on a set that has a huge number of hidden Easter Eggs that long time followers will spot easily... for me, that brings back some memories of the fun videos we used to see on MTV back when it actually was "music videos all the time"... yes, i saw MTV's first broadcast when they officially came on the air 😹 i'm quite proud and happy for DPA/TW for making these milestone appearances at two MTV functions, the MIAW in CDMX (back in Aug 2023) and the VMAs in NY&NJ (Extended Stage) (in Sep 2023)... three additional milestones are 1) they are the first Mexican band to perform at the VMAs, 2) they were invited to perform, 3) they were not nominated for anything... those speak volumes in a great and huge way! now add to that they have been doing this for 10 years... most of that was while independent... i would also be remiss if i didn't mention that this performance was real unlike the other groups that also performed here... DPA/TW did both of their songs fully live and in one take each while the other performers lip synced and took all three allowed takes... the ""best"" of those takes was selected for airplay... DPA/TW were also the only ones to be announced on the main stage when it was time to present their performances... they have been playing for about 16 years which includes while they were learning and starting to become proficient at their art and individual instruments... they celebrated their 10th Anniversary as a band in Aug 2023... they have certainly worked long and hard on their art... to think that this all started because of the game Rock Band 🤯😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@jimlaheta8864]

This was a lot fun - I think I learned a few new things, thanks! And I always like it when reactors point out everything that Ale is doing on the bass. For some recent song recommendations, I think you'll really like Hell You Call A Dream, and you are going to absolutely love Automatic Sun!! For some older song recommendations, Dust to Dust or Dull Knives or Queen of the Murder Scene really bring it.

[@ShawkaReacts]

Thank you so much! I really appreciate comments about people learning something from watching my videos. It's one of the main reasons I do this...along with listening to great music 😉

[@mjeffn2]

All of The Warning’s songs are compositions of motifs. DPA are insanely creative artists. Live, they got swagger.

[@GregPourciau]

They write and perform all there own music , all 3 sisters started with classical piano lessons at very young ages need to watch some of there documentaries of how they started (kzbin.info/www/bejne/qWjMgnpmqsxnfqs) there are more .

[@MrJest2]

All their songs on their albums, even for "Escape the Mind", are careful and meticulous _compositions_ - not just "song writing" that a lot of rock bands do. They have always been very careful about the details of _constructing_ a piece. They notably do very little improvisation on stage; outside of some "audience participation" and otherwise "organics" that happen in any concert, pretty much what you hear on the studio album is what you get in concert. One commenter I read a long time ago put it perfectly (I'm paraphrasing slightly here): _Most bands struggle to duplicate their studio sound on stage. The Warning does precisely the opposite... and often kind of fails at it. Live they are _*_better_*

[@cncs2806]

They have 3 studio albums and 1 EP, 40+ original songs and they write everything themselves: melody, instruments, lyrics. Their upcoming album "Keep me fed", which this song is part of, is the first time they worked with co-writers. Now, this is pure speculation on my part based on interviews and random tidbits here and there, but I think that even though they worked with other people, the girls still did most of the heavy lifting in the writing process for this new album.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

I’m pretty sure this song was used in the NFL as bumper music before commercial breaks during some games

[@maximusaurelius9906]

That would be great if they got invited back to perform at Raiders event. The Warning | Z || Raider Nation Fest 2022 CDMX - kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4K5f41nq6isrrssi=QAR9kNePIqt6aDkQ

[@Transgressorassessor]

More Paubell!

[@MarkBtvd]

One of the interesting things about this performance is that only two or three people in that audience knew The Warning, let alone heard their works. But they were quickly drawn into the performance and were absolutely hooked by the end, They were well and truly primed for TWs performance of "Evolve" next (which you already reviewed).

[@chriso6719]

Lead single, released last year, from the upcoming 4th album, Keep Me Fed which is due out is a couple weeks on the 28th. The studio version was recorded with a wooden block, but the "Pau-Bell" is used live, Pau had to add it to her kit. This song has been played on the radio ,as well as the album's 2nd single "S!ck". 6 singles are out, "Hell You Call A Dream", "Que Mas Quieres", "Automatic Sun", and "Burnout" are the others. Next for TW, suggest Pau singing lead on "Dust to Dust" live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 2022.

[@ineptblue8876]

Great analysis, and love your reaction. Thanks for your take on it.

[@biglew1161]

this song has a pop feel to it that kinda alienated a few fans at first. to me for some reason it reminds me a little bit of mid 90's No Doubt Gwen Stefani. I don't know if the MTV crowd is what they had in mind writing this song, but to me it was the perfect fit for MTV and the pop crowd. draw them in with something somewhat familiar to them then hit them with Evolve for their second song. only a few fans their knew who they were at the time. The warning left with a lot more fans. More loosened the roof, Evolve blew it into orbit.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

There was quite a bit of time between More being released and the MTV VMAs, so I think More was very carefully selected for the audience and because of its performability. I seem to recall hearing the band talk about how More, is a fun song to perform.

[@biglew1161]

I know that More was released quite some time before the MTV performance, and that it was probably specifically chosen for that crowd. I'm just wondering out loud if it was written for that type of crowd on purpose. It has such a powerful crossover appeal, that can draw the pop crowd in and expose them to rock music at the same time. It has a sound that can be played on both rock and pop stations.

[@maximusaurelius9906]

@@biglew1161 This was the first of their songs we heard that came from the co writing sessions, which I think is one of the 2 main reasons the feel of it varies from the previous 2 albums, but it still has what is becoming the unmistakable style of The Warning which I can't resist. I'm ready for more of what they have offer it's like their first, second, third or this upcoming fourth album.

[@xki3000]

Oh sure. The sisters could show off. But part of their track's magic is what they DON'T play. And their grooves (thank you Pau) are relentless. Just for the heck of it, check your heart rate when you are listening to one of their songs. I did. It was identical to the beat. And it stayed there for the entire song!

[@Double_J_48629]

as for your "deja vu" moment .... go listen to Blondie's _Heart of Glass_ and then report back to me. i also have a deja vu moment in their song _Hunter_ -- the intro riff always makes me think of _Aqualung_ . the half-step slide seems to be a staple in their songs, and they always leverage it in the most effective way i've ever heard. as a former aspiring bassist, Ale's style really fascinates me ... her lines seem accessible enough to want to try to learn while at the same time is complex and busy enough to keep you from getting bored and you'll feel like a badass when you hit it. that's a hard balance to hit consistently.

[@alejandrovillela2400]

🔥⚡️🤟⚡️🔥

[@scouter192]

They sounds amazing because they have to much talent and some special features like the exclusiva Ale's Inferno Spector bass, the incredible Dany's voice and the drums sound is just the Pauwer ⚡⚡⚡.

[@MarkBtvd]

Regarding my earlier comment, search for "how I ended up right in front of Dany". This should turn up a video of the fan in the checkered shirt (Soul Exchange) in the "Evolve" video from the MTV VMAs, in which he talks about the experience and how the unknowing audience became The Warning fans. Also, there's a video "aftermovie" or vlog of TWs experience there. A couple things to note: They may not have played to a click track -- tech difficulties. They rely on Ale in cases like that. And the show producer swore (literally) that he was now a fan. YT is random about posting comments with links; I'll try in a separate one.

[@MrAlejandroco]

Yes in a Pepsi commercial!

[@140977tavo]
