They arranged this song for the Metallica Blacklist charity album for the 30th anniversary of the Black album. They arranged, recorded, mixed, and submitted their version of ES to the Blacklist team in 7 days. The studio song was recorded with Alessia Cara as this was a collaboration between TW and Alessia. Some of the background vocals you hear is Alessia from a backing track TW uses to play live. The studio version was recorded during the pandemic, so TW were at home in Monterrey, MX; Alessia was in Canada; David Bendeth who mixed the song was in New Jersey, so everything was done remotely. When Alessia recorded her parts Matt Squire, who produced the song remotely took over Alessia's computer, as he was in Monterrey with TW. Alessia was going to go to Monterrey MX to record but couldn't due to the pandemic restrictions.

[@mcflyjp]

Sometimes it honestly takes a village. Not a bad thing. But I think quality sound engineers don't get the credit they deserve. The arrangement, though, is what's most impressive.

[@jimlaheta8864]

There is so much to love about how The Warning and Alessia Cara remade this iconic song - the reversal of the chord arrangement, the 'creepy lullaby' vibe, the time crunch, the first time meeting and collaborating between Alessia and The Warning, the remote collaboration during pandemic travel restrictions, and the shear fearlessness to carry all this out and send it to Metallica! Sure would have loved to seen Metallica's reaction!

[@mcflyjp]

I guarantee that they will be seeing this performance soon. It will be on their radar shortly.

[@BobbyAbernathy]

Thank you for getting back to The Warning. This concert could be a live album. The whole concert is sick. 22 songs in this concert. Thanks again. TWA

[@Beldvlmnt]

🫡

[@mcflyjp]

I gotta check out the entirety of the performance!

[@Scott_Diverscott]

Yes! The concert is incredible. The MTV VMA’s were also stellar

[@oregonlt3]

I would totally buy that. Actually I want it as a box-set with 4k blu ray so I can put it on the big screen & peg the Atmos

[@Beldvlmnt]

Bro that drop gives me chills too!! They finally give us that riff AND IN HALF TIME wtf

[@mcflyjp]

I actually wasn't ready for it in the slightest. LOL Coolest part of the song but the best part is how they rearranged it.

[@spaceknave]

There was undoubtedly post production, it was not recorded on a cell phone. From the multitude of perfect camera angles to the genuine quality sound it’s obvious this was set out to be a theater quality concert film. And it is. I can tell you though, when you’re standing right in front of them the sound is also amazing. They performed 2 shows this weekend and they use video and sound from both nights.

[@mcflyjp]

Well. Video editing and post sound production are two very different things. But yes, it's obvious there is some post audio engineering.

[@chriso6719]

The Explorer that Dany is playing is the one gifted to her by Lzzy Hale when The Warning toured with Halestorm last summer.

[@mcflyjp]

Awesome!

[@glenmartinez5158]

I've watched about every fan cam of them and they are that good live night in and night out and their sound engineer, Lalo Plaza, is top notch. Don't know how much post was done but the show was professionally filmed and recorded. They are like that whether in a club, small venue, larger venue, festival or stadium. Every song from that teatro metropolitan show is excellent. U gotta check out "more" & "evolve" from the MTV music video awards (VMA'S). Probably as good a performance as they've done. A one take performance.

[@Beldvlmnt]

I’ll have some videos around this stuff in a few weeks 👀

[@mcflyjp]

Yay!!!!! You are still my go to for which ones to react to next.

[@Scott_Diverscott]

The Warning are always noted to sound better live than in studio, which is insane, considering that their studio work is incredible.

[@mcflyjp]

That makes them unique as most bands can't do that.

[@Scott_Diverscott]

@@mcflyjp In several interviews they said that their current album, Error, is the closest that they’ve ever gotten to their live show sound, but it’s still not there, yet. The frustrating thing is trying to get decent fan cam audio because The Warning’s wall of sound totally overdrives cell phone microphones.

[@nichep1]

Having seen them live. I can attest to the fact that they sound just like this.

[@mcflyjp]

I believe it! Just amazing how good they sound!

[@randymarple9830]

I concur!

[@richletram539]

I've seen them live twice. They were Amazing! This was definitely a live show. They really sound like this when they are live.

[@mcflyjp]

Definitely know this was a live show. Glad they sound amazing even love. Hard for bands to do that.

[@Beldvlmnt]

LETS GO

[@mcflyjp]

This was so good!

[@montrealcrew1528]

5:35 - "Oh I like the harmonies." 7:10 - "Hold my beer"

[@billholder1330]

I don't think there's much post-production on this - they have VERY good sound guys, they always sound great live. They do use backing tracks for some of the "accessory" parts (harmonies, special guitar effects sometimes, etc.), but it's all them even on the backing tracks (might be one exception on this tune, I think the "woah-oah-oah-ohs" were Alessia Cara on the backing track). But their live production is always top notch these days.

[@mcflyjp]

I mean they sound amazing regardless.

[@WaldoKitty]

DPA/TW and Alessia Cara certainly understood the assignment! they had 10 days to rip this rendition of *Enter Sandman* from the ether and make it a darker, more eerie, and a more haunting lullaby than the original metal version... this was done because they, and many other artists from numerous genres, were invited by Metallica to take one of the songs from the original "Black" album, keep the lyrics and change it up how ever you like... play it backwards, upside down, whatever... this was all for the 30th anniversary of the "Black" album... all the submissions from 50someodd artists were put on the 2021 "The Metallica Blacklist" album... the proceeds from the album sales are split 50/50 with half going to Metallica's "All Within My Hands Foundation" and the other half being donated to a charity of the participating artists' choice... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

[@carlnietoweise4653]

AND! It's the first song on the finished album!

[@mcflyjp]

Amazing. I think they definitely did a fantastic job.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

@@carlnietoweise4653 It's fair to say that the Blacklist Album saves the best for first, but the actual reason it's first is more prosaic: all of the tracks are in the order of the original album (so all of the Enter Sandman versions are first), and within each song, it's ordered by artist name (Alessia Cara is the headline artist on it).

[@WaldoKitty]

@@carlnietoweise4653 by virtue of them being listed in alphabetical order by song and artist...

[@Cheezyxyz]

I love everything about this! You're awesome brother 🤘🤘🤘

[@mcflyjp]

Thank you very much, Cheezy! Appreciate the support!

[@TomTomson81]

Dany doesn't imitate Hatfield. That's their voice. That's how she sings many of her other songs.

[@mcflyjp]

Having seen another song from that show today she does sound a lot like that naturally. But she's definitely embellishing a little to sound like Hetfield.

[@gman125]

Audio was straight out of the sound board. What you heard is what everyone heard in that audience. This was a full production show, with the intention of making the full length recording in HDR 8.8k & HQ audio. Watching this on YT, isn't even near what the true recording looks/sounds like. Their super power is, they are a Studio quality live band. I didn't hear you mention it, but this was done from an invite, to be included on Metallica's 30th Anniversary Blacklist LP. Side 1, track 1. 21 more songs to checkout from this show alone. You coming back?

[@mcflyjp]

Is there somewhere I can watch the Raw (uncompressed) footage? Also yes. I will be listening to more of them, VMAs Evolve is probably next then some more from this show.

[@gman125]

I wish! We was all hoping they would make a BluRay version so we can get closer to the master recordings. They tend to hold onto things for a little while and surprise us tho, so never know if they will sell the master cuts or not. The entire 22 song show is about as good as it gets for YT. @@mcflyjp

[@johnkennedy963]

My understanding is this pair of concerts were pro shot, and produced using video from both concerts with the audio from the soundboard from the 2nd concert.

[@mcflyjp]

Understood. Really cool and the sound is incredible!

[@reactionsaccount3955]

They just did live concerts in Colombia and Chile, and there are fan made videos that you can check for this cover and it will confirm that they do indeed sound this good live. You can keep reacting to all the performances from this show on their KZbin channel, as they are all 🔥, except for Evolve for which I would suggest the performance from the MTV VMAs which is even better to me.

[@mcflyjp]

The ks for the tips. I appreciate it.

[@CarlD70]

This is Live at it's very best....superlative sound engineering. 20+ songs all sound like this!!!! Cheers.

[@mcflyjp]

Sound engineering was top notch. They better pay them! The girls are fantastic too!

[@CarlD70]

@mcflyjp Agree...a Grammy for these folks...hopefully

[@NathanAllen]

I like covers that take a song and re-imagine it, like this, they did it like how it would be if The Warning wrote the song. Another example would be Cash's Hurt, who took Trent Reznor's song to another place.

[@mcflyjp]

I prefer the original Shirt over Cash's but you are absolutely right. He remade it and made it his own and gave a whole new feel to it! Great comparison.

[@MusicLover-TW]

Sound guy needs a raise🤘

[@Beldvlmnt]

Sounds guys always need a raise

[@mcflyjp]

100% they do. Unsung heroes of these performances for sure!

[@user-sr9dd3nd6m]

I love this band, and I love that my other favorite band "band maid" are fans of them and Visa versa. They got to meet at a festival they played together! Please react to band maids "shambles" work backwards, I hope you do and I hope you have fun!! Hi the warning army, and masters and princesses ❤

[@mcflyjp]

Bandmaid coming soon.

[@glenmartinez5158]

My favorite two bands also.

[@brenoalmeida4024]

🙋🔥🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡

[@allancustodio2274]

😊

[@KansaSCaymanS]

The mixing was obviously post-production, but the audio was taken directly from the sound board (which is why you don’t hear a lot of crowd noise) plus they do use some stems and backing tracks for sound effects, keyboard, or in this case the background “Woh,oh,oh,ohs” which were performed by Alessia Cara who they originally collaborated with on the studio version. 👍😎

[@mcflyjp]

Right. I think my question was if they redid some of the takes post. But after hearing q few more times you can tell that is not the case.

[@ignacioporchas7305]

They have one heck of a good sound man, and their dad approves the mix. Carlos said bionic ears on one of their aftermovies.

[@mcflyjp]

Their sound engineer(s) are top notch!

[@johanadiaz4501]

I can tell you with complete confidence that it is totally them, they only edited so that the public would not be heard so much in this song they using the backing track with the voice of Alessia for chors of course the tree can sing but the original it was with Alessia. I was lucky to be there that second night because the first day sold out very quickly and I saw many cameras I thought it was interesting I never thought it would be for posterity It was the first time I saw them live and it was surreal. I have videos of a few songs, they sound great, Daniela's voice is so powerful, the truth is that to sound like this, the 10 years of career are noticeable and they are so young. They have a great future!! Long life to The Warning!!!

[@mcflyjp]

Pretty incredible they are in their 20s and already been performing for 10 years.

[@mikew1991YJ]

The Warning!! 🔥🤘 Subbed for more...

[@mcflyjp]

Glad to have you!

[@yeticatcher]

I loved this arrangement the first time I heard it. And they play it to the hilt live. It's a bit tamed in the studio recording with Alessia Cara, not taking anything away from their efforts, but live it really hits harder. Thanks for the reaction. Subbed!

[@lookiloo100]

"MORE" is the same way. It's almost sounds like a different song. It hits so much harder

[@yeticatcher]

⁠ Indeed it does.🤘

[@mcflyjp]

Glad you enjoyed. Sometimes I feel like I enjoy live renditions better because you get the visuals of how the musician feels about the song.

[@Scott_Diverscott]

If you can see them live, go do it. Their headliner show tickets were around $35 on average. Don’t go see them when they’re opening for Guns N Roses, in Hollywood Florida, though GNR had ticket prices up around $600

[@mcflyjp]

As much as I'd love to see GnR too, I feel they are past their prime (I could've went to another day at Aftershock to see them but didn't really want to). I'd LOVE to see the Warning.

[@ripmcmanus773]

Great reaction! The only authoritative information I've seen about the recording is that it's straight off the mixing board. If I were producing the videos, I'd do some postproduction anyway, since what goes to the speakers at a concert where you need to tailor output to fit the acoustics of the hall generally isn't ideal for a video recording. Either way, I love every video from this concert. Just flat awesome. Man, do these ladies rock!

[@mcflyjp]

I'm going to be watching the whole thing in its entirety. Probably song by song, each one being a reaction video? We'll see.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

Whatever post production they may have done, they didn't clean things up. Dany's voice broke on a high note at the end of Martirio, and they didn't fix it. This is very much representative of what they sound like in person; they really are that clean. If I recall correctly, Lalo Plaza (their sound person) joined up when he saw just how intense their work ethic is. Watching aftermovies from this year, he's treated as part of the family, along with the rest of their team; they go out and have fun together. Their technical staff (Carlos, Cachi, etc) are not anonymous people toiling in the background. Well, they are toiling in the background, but they aren't anonymous. They have a way of attracting top notch people to their team, which starts with them.

[@mcflyjp]

Usually happens with an outstanding work ethic.

[@randymarple9830]

Every member of the stage crew is top notch. All are constantly paying attention to Pau's drum kit, because she has the tendency to beat it to death. Their first Muse concert they opened for in Mexico, Carlos was on stage behind a speaker, checking Pau's kit to make sure it was looking good, when Ale fell backwards on the stage. He was helping her up within 2 seconds.

[@FullTexanEffect]

🤘⚡🔥

[@oldmanyeni1663]

I have to admit, I am not a Metallica fan, and I was sick of this song, until this version came along. A lullaby where Alessia very sweetly puts you to bed, then Dany rouses the troops, shares a little prayer, and the angel chorus comes to sing you to sleep, then Boom, the hammer drops. I think of this very much as the female version of the tale. So good. Delicate, powerful, soothing, strong, gentle, fierce-all at the same time. I love this one.

[@mcflyjp]

I honestly like the original but musically (and of course vocally) I think I like this one better! It's just arranged so well.

[@figuerio1]

[@TerryParsons1724]

Every song at the venue sounds this good you should check out the others 21 more of them. They did 2 shows and probably used different parts of songs from each night. I figured this out by the guitar pics on the mic stand is different at points during the song. Try Disciple from this show Dany and Pau share lead vocals and it's a banger. Thanks for reacting to TW 🔥🔥⚡⚡⚡

I will be checking out the others as well!

[@saltydroog854]

I'm an old school Metallica fan. But unlike many old school Metallica fan, I actually like the Black album. However, Enter Sandman is one of my least favorite songs on the album. Probably just because it seems so commercial. IDK, maybe it just played out for me. but I LOVE this arrangement. These ladies have such incredible stage presence. I'm just blown away by them. Not necessarily in the way they sound, but they remind me of The Pretty Reckless. Obviously because the female vocals, but they also both have such instantly recognizable and familiar songs. If you aren't already familiar with it, you should do Evolve from the 2023 VMA awards. Their energy is fire.

[@don-music]

Post? This was obviously recorded extremely well in multitrack and then mixed and produced and mastered professionally. That being said, they did NOT go back and redo parts, fix vocals, etc…. At most they took the best section of each song from either of the two nights they performed this show, which is common sense. The warning does NOT fix their lives errors… they can’t, really, because there were tons of cell phone videos of these shows and would have proven if they edited any messed up parts out.

[@mcflyjp]

1) this is essentially a blind reaction. I don't go looking for countless other videos and listen to them first. 2) many artists when they release livr video releases do, in fact, redo parts in post. 3) My initial thought was that they sounded incredible, so it's quite possible that there could've been post. But believed there wasn't.
