METALHEAD ENVIES| THE WARNING| "QUEEN OF THE MURDER SCENE"

[@conrad98gtp]

"Ugh" from this same show would be another good one to suggest.

[@lauriep2018]

Dany was still getting used to that Explorer that Lzzy Hale gifted to her. Lzzy even mentioned how big it is for Dany- which I believe she’s still getting used to here. She’s been playing this solo for years so it’s definitely the guitar

[@KabukiKid]

Oh yeah... I've heard her do versions of that same solo dozens of times cleaner than here (not that this one was bad... just not as clean as she usually is)... the (new at the time) guitar is almost surely a factor on some level. Another thing that Dany did in only the past year or two is move to a thinner pick. I have no idea how she can do solos with those Dunlop Big Stubby picks. (Same ones Ale used, amusingly.) Dany did say recently that she wishes she moved to a thinner pick earlier. I play guitar and always shook my head seeing her play with those thick Stubby monsters. lol

[@SDsailor7]

​@@KabukiKidSo she is using a normal guitar pick now?

[@KabukiKid]

@@SDsailor7 Yeah... Raven picks... but they are now defunct, so I wonder if she got a good supply of them. ;-) Not sure of the thickness she settled on exactly, though... just thinner than those Big Stubbys. To me, they look like heavy picks from what I can see... not impossible that they are medium, but definitely too thick to be thin picks. She got custom ones with her autograph on them and the band name.. and a picture of a donut on one side, as silly as that is. She pitches them to the crowd after the show. Ale got Raven custom picks too... but hers have a picture of her cat on them. lol

[@SDsailor7]

@KabukiKid Dani said that she uses bass picks on her DTB video we're she shows of her guitars and pedal board. So now she's got thinner picks as you say.

[@KabukiKid]

@@SDsailor7 Yeah... she started using thinner picks for this last tour. There is a video somewhere out there were she is showing off her new picks.

[@DavidBerne-nx8uy]

I doubt it is nerves. I think it is more that she is moving around and putting on a show--as well as singing before and after.

[@chriso6719]

Title track to their 2nd album released in 2018 when they were 18 16 and 13. The record is a concept album, telling the story of a girl who goes from obsession to stalking, murder, descent into madness and her death. Last song in chapter 3(of 4), the evil side is taunting the Queen. The word Pau is singing in the pre chorus is "Korosu", a Japanese word roughly translating to kill or murder. The Gibson Explorer Dany is playing here ,is the one that was gifted to her by Lzzy Hale when they toured together in summer of 2022. Most of their songs it's Ale's bassline that grabs my attention, but I love the guitar riff in this song. You want newer stuff from them, try "Hell You Call A Dream" , live from Pepsi Center CDMX 2023.

[@StevOPelO]

This album deserves a full reaction with storyline. It's a concept Rock opera like Operation Mindcrime

[@StevOPelO]

Check out the metal band out of NJ 9dead

[@johnager6226]

Also the first song played on the Explorer was "Queen of the Murder Scene." 🤘

[@rk3257]

The Warning are musicians who take influence from literally everything. Chopin, Mozart, Heart, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin, pop, and on and on. One thing i have found in my 70 yr rock journey is that there is value in all genres. Great musicians can convey an emotional ballad, rock the house down, or strip a song to an acoustic presentation that shows their artistic ability. Opinions have value - especially the ones who "want to do right". Keep on rockin'!!! PS: try 'Automatic Sun' from their Pal Norte festival overlay - think it may be more in your wheelhouse.

[@Nolimitcam._]

Yep they’re influence is literally good music in general ⚡️

[@luistorres9331]

Even rappers, actually good rappers admit they take influence from other genres. I remember an interview with Methodman where he breaks down a song and his lyrics and adlibs are inspired by multiple rock ballads.

[@SO.CAL-D.Edwards]

From The Queen of the Murder scene concept album they wrote as young teenagers.. Brilliant Album..🌏✌️

[@KevinQ1989]

You should react to their cover of Metallica's Atlas Rise live at Whisky a Go Go in 2019. It sounds so powerful even with a single guitar.

[@mikelipke9404]

Ale the bass player is only 17 here

[@The3dikson]

The mistakes show us that they are human and that not only do they always play live even on MTVs, beyond small details it is impressive that they can sound even better than in the studio versions, which not everyone achieves that level of quality even with more members in a band.

[@MarketplexDistributors-u5u]

Em ésta canción es evidente que Ale transmite toda la oscura influencia del bass al mas puro estilo del bajista de Black Sabath. Impresionante ❤

[@tehawfulestface1337]

Title track with Dany as ‘The Queen’! The chanting is Japanese for ‘kill, kill, kill’! After Dany’s solo, did you hear blood-curdling screams in the background track? Dany recorded herself screaming, freaking her sisters out when she did it. Dany is playing with Lzzy Hale’s gift, the Gibson Explorer.

[@rodneyramirez603]

Yeah I heard that Ale and Pau actually were afraid of Dany when she did the scream, it’s unbelievably high pitched and blood curdling!! I saw a vid where she was warming up her vocals and she was able to go way up there like that.

[@elah1023]

LOL. Japanese for "to kill" is "korosu". That`s what They sing.

[@philwrichtube]

Their songs are really melodic. But still hard rock. Love the combination ! 🤟🏼🎸🥁🎸🤟🏼

Probably they'll never write a song with a thousand riffs like old school great players guitar, but , man , with those excellent transactions, bridges, changes, melodies and armonies, really you don't need it.

[@dalatina911]

This is my favorite song too! I’m sooo happy you reacted to it, cause I don’t see many reactions to this one! The toms section when Dany says “I’m a machine, no emotions” gave me chills dude. Love this so much, thank you ❤

[@StevOPelO]

Lizzy Hale gave Danny that Sweet Gibson Explorer specked to Danny. It's not her regular usage guitar... That's why it's clunky in the solo lol

[@trex9263]

Exactly.

[@keenian6164]

Mindblowing.. the '90 vibes are unbelieveble!!1

[@luistorres9331]

It’s def the guitar. That’s the only thing that changed in a song they’ve played many times. It was a gift, and she’s stated in many interviews during that time she was still getting used to its dimensions. That guitar is huge.

[@davestr7031]

Reminds me a little of "The Ripper" by Judas Priest. Lots of their stuff reminds me of various Judas Priest albums.

[@RockMusic1959]

A must listen is the Live At Lunario version (Solo is dead on) they were 5 Years younger. Not many artists have to worry about Lead guitar and Lead Vocals at the same time. She plays riffs and Lead lines all the time and she is really good at it. Try reacting to "Hell You Call A Dream" LIVE At the Pepsi Center next (Newer)...

[@Jonno2summit]

I love these sisters. They don't yet have the technical proficiency as Eddie or Lifeson on guitar, as Neil Peart, or Geddy; but their songwriting is SO good at the same ages as The Beatles when them boys hit it big. They are SO young and SO good already! I can't wait to see them mature over the next decade or many more, hopefully. Tons of talent in this band. Seriously, they are the real deal. Edit: I would say that we have been warned. The best is yet to come. I can't imagine what that will be, but it will be mind-boggling I'm sure. I mean historically epic.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Dany’s solos aren’t always flawless, partly because she is usually moving across the stage while playing them and not just standing in place, and because she switches between 4 different brands of guitars (PRS, Gibson, Manson and Fender) during a long show. On the plus side, you know she is playing live and not miming to a track. 👍😎

[@Frisco40]

Qotms álbum is masterpiece.

[@armandogarza6181]

Good reaction dude. I think most here want an honest reaction from your perspective. I may not agree with you on everything, but everybody's taste in music is different. I think we can agree that the talent is there, cheers.

Excellent my friend... excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@knavekid]

For a newer song you might appreciate, check out "Six Feet Deep" from their most recent album. The official music video has an '80s horror movie theme.

[@oregonlt3]

New, new? ‘Automatic Sun’ @ MTV EMAs (on MTV channel). Though they like to copyright it if not obscured. Pol’and’Rock version is awesome too but same problem. The live on Jimmy Kimmel is a great version & the OMV (video from PAL Norte) is a great choice for the studio version. & of course ‘Sharks’ I mentioned last time for some “Nu Metal” The Warning. But there’s not much official live videos out there yet.

[@SDsailor7]

They wrote Queen of the Murder Scene (a concept album) when they were 12, 15,17 album came out in 2018

[@mondobyondo4425]

This is my favorite song and I wish they do more like it. It has a heavy groove that I like kinda reminds me of Judas Priest back in the day. I agree the solo isn’t perfect but she’s moving around to entertain the crowd. All in all I’m 100% behind this band

[@RamonLopez-iz9qc]

From there newest album I recommend Automatic Sun, and thanks for your honest reactions and not being fake, like most other reactors who just do it for views❤❤

[@jeffteague3096]

Definitely their most prog song to date. Also dark af! In the context of the QOTMS album, it’s flawlessly written. Simply perfect.

[@carlosmr1846]

No entiendo por qué se hacen la vida tan difícil y no disfrutan de una banda o alguna canción sin tener que buscar lo negativo y solamente disfrutar, la vida es corta para perder el tiempo buscando errores, es tan fácil disfrutar que lo hacemos tan difícil.

[@KabukiKid]

That was probably me that mentioned the harmonizer with the 10ms delay to the second channel from her Kemper profiler pedalboard last time. lol Yeah... I play guitar (rock/metal) too and love all the tech that goes along with it. ;-) I adore Dany and really aim to have better stage presence because of her. I was always the only girl in the band, so I also marvel at the concept of being in a band with your sisters! Man... I wish I had that! lol :-) I also mentioned in another post here about Dany playing with those Dunlop Big Stubby picks... and she has since moved to a thinner pick. THANK GOODNESS! I think those Stubbys were sort of "holding her back" a bit... especially with solos. Watch the performance of this same exact song at say the Shiprocked performance from 2024 Feb 9th and you'll see the difference. PRS guitar... with better guitar picks. Solid version of that same solo. The right equipment matters!

[@roywall8169]

That's live music baby! It never comes out perfect, and if it does, it isn't really live.

[@rodneyramirez603]

Idk know bud, but the other live versions her solos are the same to me, it might be the little runs q she’s playing is intended to sound that way, plus she was extremely young when that was recorded. I’m gonna check it out to l see if I can spot what you’re saying. 🤘🏽⚡️⚡️🤘🏽

[@sergiodelatejaytejeda]

Without a doubt, your next reaction should be to "Automatic Sun" in their OMV of their performance at the Tecate P'al Norte Festival (footage of that gig and studio sound) or the version in their spectacularly epic presentation at the Europa Music Awards on MTv, of "Automatic Sun" as well. Thanks and greetings from México!! 🇲🇽 🤘😁✌️ .

[@lauriep2018]

I’m with you about lyrics. When I first listen to a song, I’m listening to the actual music. Now, if it’s a super catchy chorus or lyrics that I can easily decipher and hear at first, then I’ll listen to them but lyrics aren’t top priority for me either. I do look them up after of course

[@MTH58]

Appreciate your insights. Your comment about the vocals sitting a little above the instrumentals is interesting. As you mentioned, you’re not that into lyrics, but remember that this is the Title Track from their Concept Album. They’ve described it as a “ Novel” telling a story from beginning to end, so the lyrics are key.

[@KevinQ1989]

The keyboard backing tracks are manually triggered by Pau on a pedal.

[@keenian6164]

It can be seen that you are relatively "new" to these girls because otherwise you would know their "legend"! The last song you listened to is always your new favorite! think that after YEARS of listening, none (or almost, of us fans), are able to draw up a rating without hesitation! 🤣

[@cncs2806]

You should watch their Digital Tour Bus gear rundown videos, specially Dany's. They're a little bit outdated but you'll still get an idea of what they use.

[@KevNpton]

I suspect the solo would be perfect if she stood still, but she’s sacrificing for the performance and moving around and being dramatic.

[@markdicesare7936]

Dani can shred but they only do what the song requires song and not put in anything that would take away form it.

[@Chuckles..]

One of my top ten favorite songs by TW. Dany is worth her weight in gold at playing riffs and singing at the same time, it's a special talent, but she's not really a lead guitar solo player.

[@allsomad19]

👍👍 !!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@ginasottile9747]

That explorer was gifted to her by the one and only Lzzy Hale. Fun fact

[@scottwood5515]

Automatic Sun is their favorite to play live, try that next.

[@jrlaudio]

Judas Priest, "You Gotta Another Thing Coming". I think that's what it reminds you of, ya know, old school metal. Dany is not a shredder, she a riff player. So they write to not have lead breaks very often. This song, due its old school nature needed one. But that is one technique Dany is still learning. She'll get there. Her most recent leads are a bit more polished.

[@Democratic_Republic_of_Iacon]

Hell you call a dream live from the Pepsi center is a good warning song. For other recommendations, I recommend deriving a distance by Magna Carta Cartel. It’s not a metal song, but Tobias Forge is the bassist on the album so maybe you’ll be interested.

[@Axel019mg]

React to "Sharks" their most recent heavy song

[@mjc1389]

Dany doesn’t always play a solo note for note from the studio version. If you watch different versions of the song “Z” you’ll see Dany plays the solo a small bit different each time. Dany never will be considered a shredder, she excels at the more melodic solos. Her stated biggest guitar influences are David Gilmour, Matt Bellamy and Lzzy Hale. Dany doesn’t play the Gibson live much anymore for whatever reason but her Fender Baritone(s) are pretty big guitars as well. Dany’s pretty petite compared to Lzzy Hale for example and she tends to favor lighter guitars. Obviously being a 3 piece limits Dany’s opportunities to solo during songs for the sake of the live performances and not being completely reliant on backing tracks and that also affects their writing styles by finding different ways to fill out songs without the cursory solo that is so prevalent in most of todays rock/metal. If you try and look at TW through a metal prism then you’re probably not going to care for Dany’s guitar work in their newest album much. It’s very different as Dany really experimented with different styles in KMF.

[@hardknox1917]

Solo being a lil clunky is because she is walking around the entire stage while soloing , she is not standing still , try playing wand waking around then try soloing while walking around , way harder

To be absolutely honest, we know that Dany isn't really a shredder. She does do decent solos, but she isn't a natural lead guitarist. She doesn't really need to be. What she is, is a phenominal front woman/vocalist/rhythm guitarist. Basically she fits the band perfectly as guitar solos are low in their list of priorities. I'm glad about that. The obligatory guitar solo is so 1980's!

[@braddentrujillo2050]

So Halestorm fans are going to come for me for what I’m about to say. I blame the clunkiness of the solo on her playing that Gibson guitar. Lizzy Hale gifted that guitar to Dany, so Halestorm fans want to see Dany play it on stage. Dany’s style and small stature is more conducive to her playing her PRS, Monson and Spearfish guitars. The studio version was recorded with Spearfish guitars, and she used a Monson guitar during live shows until she switched to PRS guitars during the Pandemic. As you dive deeper into the rabbit hole, you will see the difference in her performance with those guitars vs the Explorer. Check out the song Z from this same concert to see her solo with her PRS. Finally, I disagree with your guess of nerves playing a role. She has been doing this live in front of crowds since she was a teenager. They have opened for some major artists, most notably the Foo Fighters in Mexico in front of 50,000 fans. They are seasoned professionals. 🤘🏽⚡️

[@braddentrujillo2050]

One more thing. Imagine being an all female rock band performing at a Metal festival in Mexico, while being only teenagers. Everyone staring at you like, “what are a bunch of little girls going to do at a metal fest.” Not only winning over the crowd, but building a strong foundation of their fanbase. They may look cute and sweet, but they are the most badass women out there today. 🤘🏽⚡️

Yeah people hate hearing it but Danys talent lies in creating killer riffs and being able to sing at the same time, a lot of her riffs are very difficult to play and sing at the same time . She does it effortlessly. But solos no.

[@jc-aguilar]

I don’t understand how people can sing, walk, move, interact with the crowd, and play the guitar at the same time. Maybe they are not perfect but they still amaze me, and perfect execution is so boring anyway. Looking for perfection is taking us to AI, pitch correction and all that…
