Rock Singer Reacts - The Warning - Narcisista Live At Teatro Metropolitan CDMX

[@marcbrault]

Fun fact: It's their first song with a co-writer... their mother ! "If we're gonna give them a big middle finger, it's gonna be in proper Spanish... Can you proof read the text, mom? " 😂🤣😂

[@PhilZero]

The best question to ask moms tbh

[@kineticvisuals2869]

Yup. This, Animosity and the live version of 'Evolve' make me scared of Pau. She is a 5 foot tall stick of dyno-mite!

[@alexj9603]

And legend has it that Mony (their mother) made them rewrite the whole thing, because it was full of grammatical errors. They are way better at writing lyrics in their second language (English) than in their mother tongue.

[@fourortwelvestrings]

"Malinchista" is a *uniquely* Mexican insult. It refers to the young Nahuatl woman called "La Malinche," who was sold to Cortés as a translator as a teenager, and helped the conquistadors and their Nahuatl allies defeat the Aztecs (in the end this did not go well for the Nahuatl people, either). She later had a child by Cortés, and married one of his lieutenants. She was and is a very controversial figure whose role in history has been debated and has changed considerably back and forth over the years. Was she a traitor or was she trapped unwillingly in a role she never meant to play? Anyway, it's very a deep and bitter insult in Mexican culture, and to say that the sisters were enraged by being called this in the press might be understating things just a little bit. They always say in interviews how much they love Mexico and Pau in particular has said she never wants to move anywhere else for their career. So yeah, this song could have been much more dark, but having it be a peppy sing-along just adds to the magnitude of the finger they were giving. :)

[@juanplopes]

Thanks for explaining that! That is a very interesting concept and word. I feel ashamed to say that, as a Brazilian, I have never heard that word before.

[@drumchris92]

I once read a book about Malinche, truly a fascinating figure - she was an integral part in what probably was one of historys key changes. Just think about what would have happened if she would have translated differently or betrayed Cortez - Malinchista would probably be a positive term today. Anyway, I completely understand why they were so furious about this insult - awesome comeback really, the biggest middle finger I can think of

Believe it or not, there are a lot of haters, here in Mexico some people complain about how they were so "privileged", so "whitexicans" for having musical education, good instruments even when thery were kids, for having parents that cared about their children's dreams basically or just because they are beautiful women. The story of The Warning is kinda "different" from most mexican bands and people don't like that. Leaving that topic behind, It´s really great seeing how they are having now the recognition they deserve, not only in Mexico but worldwide! They are so talented! And I as a Mexican i'm so proud of them ❤

The absurd thing is that their origins are like most of the famous bands from Monterrey. The different thing is that everyone saw them grow and stand out as musicians. It's quite ironic that what should give them legitimacy has attracted disqualifications from some fools.

The key lyric in Spanish is “Malinchista”. If your wife is Mexican, she will know exactly what it means. This song is a response to their critics who criticized them for not singing in Spanish, so appropriately enough, they write their first Spanish song as a middle finger.

[@grahamechambers6642]

Watch to the end

[@renemonroy214]

Another thing to point out is how the band got to compose and sing in English. Basically, it all happened by random circumstances. They learned music from English spoken bands because of their dad’s preference and they learned to speak in English at school (which is common in Mexico). They also got viral and got invited to Ellen’s show, where they took the opportunity to go to an American school to learn more. They were basically forced there to re learn how to compose music because they used to follow the solfège method in Mexico. That is important because they now got used to the language and how to compose following the common method in US. At the end of the day, they prefer English because it’s also an easier language for music (I know both languages fluidly). When they get asked on why they sing in English, their usual response is “because we can and want to”. It shouldn’t be a huge of a deal, but sometimes people are not used to things out of their zone of comfort. They are changing that mentality one fan at the time.

[@Achikatzin1519]

One thing about malinchistas is that they will always try to deny or justify their malinchista tendencies. Unfortunately it IS true that they are somewhat disconnected from their Mexican culture when it comes the musical aspect. However, they are not the ones to be blamed for how their parents raised them when it comes to musical preferences. Personally i applaud them for at least trying to sing and compose in spanish. I hope they investigate and delve deeper into their own Mexican musical heritage. What we as mexican society can and should work on is for our future generation of youth to break with the vicious cycle of malinchista tendencies in their own parenting. I am still waiting for the day when Mexicans proudly and publicly reference their own people as idols and role models instead of outside impositions and influences being their principal and constant reference

She also did this in their tour of 2022 when opening for Halestorm with Arejay Hale behind the drums. Yes, there is a track with a second guitar (played by Dany) There is a presentation with Eruca Sativa (an argentinan trio) in Monterrey where she get out of the drums to sing Olivia's Rodrigo "Brutal" The correct meaning is traitor to your culture. There were people critize them for writing only songs in english and their response were their first song in spanish being the middle finger to those people and critics.

[@DeanColding]

Most people eventually realize that their favorite The Warning song is the last one they listened too. Love your work. Keep it up.

[@dsnunez09]

I'm from Chile and even though we speak spanish, we don't use "malinchista" (it is a mexican idiom) so I also didn't get all the meaning of the song at first and I had to look that word up What I found is that it comes from a mexican salve called Malinche and that she was an enabler for the spanish conquerors (even the lover to one of them)... so it's quite a heavy word their critics used, all because they choose to write their songs in english until this point And I mean, I get it, our ears are more acostumed to rock in english (except for the argentinian rock of the 80's ,like Soda Stereo, but Argentina was at war with the British at that time so...), and english is the dominant language nowdays... I don't see anyone criticizing kpopers and idols for havinmg english in their songs I don't like this thing about latam critics... they see one of our own being somewhat successful and they look for something to bring them down good for them to give them this "middle finger" BTW... ATRAS DE LAS COCINAS... I can't un-hear it now LOL

[@JesusVillanueva]

Yes, If Mana, Caifanes/Jaguares, Cafe Tacuva, Motolov and other didn't fear of similar criticism they could have reached a wider audience. There are very few bands that have entered the world stage while not singing in English, actually the only ones I can think of is Rammstein and maybe BandMain (since they recently toured in Mexico and USA).

[@joeuncoolio]

The song was written after Pau and the band were criticized for doing most of their songs in English. They were being narcissistic and kissing up to the Americans. Pau is singing front and center as a big middle finger to the critics. Pau could easily front the band but it's way too important to have her behind the drums. I always say, is anybody having more fun at a Warning concert than Pau? Oh, and you keep music nerding. Love the analysis. Right now my favorite song of theirs is Hell You Call a Dream, live, of course.

[@runmiltality5230]

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors, because not only you dissect the song in a manner non-musicians can understand, which adds to the listening experience next time I hear the song, but you also have such a good humor and genuinely enjoy it. As for the song, yes, this was a middle finger song to all those Mexican critics who said that they were "Malinchistas" because all their songs were in English when they were a Mexican band, so Pau got mad and wrote this jewel of a song, ha ha. Truth is: 1) they grew listening to Rock in english; 2) they attended a private bilingual school; 3) they live in Monterrey, very close to the US border and cultures kind of mix more because of that, so when they started writing, it just came natural to do it in English, no hidden agenda on it. As for not being Mexican enough, it is nonsense because at their concerts they always proudly say they are from Mexico, and in interviews too, also they have said many times that they want to show the World that in Mexico there is talent. But well, haters will hate no matter what, right?.... Great reaction and nothing to do with it but I like that you have some "Huichol" art on the back, those people make amazing crafts. Cheers!

[@MrJest2]

I think it was Dany who also noted that it's just *easier* to write in English, because (largely because it's a mish-mash of several different languages) English is simply more _flexible_ than the more grammatically rigid Spanish. Lots more word-sounds to choose from as synonyms for rhyming, for example. Which isn't to say their offerings so far in Spanish aren't gems in and of themselves; I think Martirio is one of the most gorgeous rock songs ever recorded!!!

Something truly amazing is that usually Pau sings this song while playing drums!!

[@knavekid]

I absolutely loved this reaction. I don't speak any Spanish, but learned the history of this song after seeing the Foro Didi concert video which was the premier of Narcisista. I highly recommend you watch that version of your current favorite song!

[@HotBranch]

Might I suggest, while you're in the rabbit hole, that you check out XXI Century Blood next? It's one of my favorites and they were 17, 15, and 12 when they released that song.

[@randymarple9830]

And the Official Music Video.

[@HotBranch]

@@randymarple9830 it's a very powerful short film

[@OliverFortea]

They actually have no bad song from what I’ve heard from them which is really a feat. They have an extensive catalog and all songs are well written. My favorite ones are CHOKE and SURVIVE. I hope somewhere down this rabbit hole you get to react to one or both of them. Great reaction as always!

[@krash66]

Hey Phil. Usually when I see 25 minute videos for a 4 minute song, I see them with sort of dread. LOL. But, I like the way express yourself using your musical knowledge without being arrogant or judgmental about the band or your viewers. Well Done! Yes, Pau is absolutely a sweetheart, but a monster on stage. I say she is like the Energizer Bunny on Red Bull. She is definitely a 5' stick of dynamite! I do not speak Spanish, and this is still in my top 5 Warning songs, since it came out 5 years ago! In every song they do, they mix elements from different decades and different subgenres of rock, into a familiar, yet fresh package. I honestly think they will one day be regarded as the best songwriters of their generation. It is remarkable the wide range of talents that all three possess. Future Legends!

[@LorraineBaker-vm9vl]

my thoughts exactly. I know Phil gushes over how Pau has something special, but I don't think Phil realizes that HE has something special. I can't remember the last time i watched a 25 minute video and been this engaged

[@TheDunadan01]

Pau wrote this song as a response to some in the Mexican press saying that they were traitors to their culture, when in fact they never miss an opportunity in interviews to say that they are Mexican.

[@CraigCholar]

They always tell non-Mexican concert audiences that they are from Mexico, as well. Their clueless critics in Mexico can shove it.

[@publius2000]

"And though she be little, she is fierce." --Helena from Shakespeare's Mid Summer Night's Dream obviously talking about Pau.

These ladies always bring the energy! You are going to love Martirio. ⚡⚡⚡

[@Ieeho98]

Nice Reaction! Yes, Pau is bundle of energy for sure. When all 3 are interviewed, poor Ale can't hardly get a word in sometimes. Wait until you hear Pau's voice when she sings one of the ballads she has written. A whole other side to her voice. (Revenant @ Teatro)

[@shinyplaid]

100% on the challenge of writing the second verse. I have a song it took me literally 10 years to find the second verse of. The Warning’s 2nd verse switch-ups are master-class.

[@Malkavon]

Phil, you have rapidly turned into one of my favorite "reaction" channels - your insights into the musicianship and craft that goes into writing, recording, and performing is super interesting even to someone who's entirely ignorant of that side of things. Add +1 vote to the "Please nerd out about random music things" pile! For another The Warning song (who I've only recently fallen in love with and now have tickets to see them in September), I'd highly recommend the live performance they did just a couple months ago of 'Hell You Call A Dream' from Pepsi Center CMDX. It is so incredibly good, and might be Dany's best vocal performance I've seen thus far.

[@LorraineBaker-vm9vl]

agree. It looks like Phil just started and he's kinda just doing this for fun, But I don't think he realizes how engaging his videos are

[@mikelipke9404]

Hey bud. Finally found one of your posts. 😂 you’d think as many as you do I’d see more.

[@PhilZero]

@@elah1023thank you all! It’s funny, I wasn’t sure whether to call my videos reactions or reviews or breakdowns or analysis.. I settled on “reacts” only because it’s my first time hearing the songs, and I wanted it to have that fun and spontaneous reaction element. Me going on about the analysis stuff is the stuff that naturally sticks out to me when I listen to music, so I guess that still counts as a “reaction?” 😂 If I were to do full on breakdowns, it would be like hour-long videos 🤣🤘

[@marianogonzalez1977]

Always fun and insightful to see your reactions. Keep digging the "The Warning" rabbit hole... Cheers from Buenos Aires, Argentina! PS: off topic... do you know anything about a band called Nightwish? May I suggest you to react to their song "Ghost love score" live from Wacken 2013?

[@reactionsaccount3955]

That motivational poster reference is 🔥. Also now you know why this song has been part of their setlist since it came out, even for non-Spanish speaking countries and those fans will sing it in Spanish still. Some Mexicans were accusing them of being traitors because at that point all of their songs were in English and as a reply, Pau wrote their first song in Spanish to give them the middle finger, epic!

[@gilbertoguerrero184]

“Which song can take the crown as Phil favorite the warning song” Pick anyone, thats easy, and the next will be also your favorite.

[@attateck]

Hola Phil, greetings from Venezuela, very good reaction as always, thank you, Pau playing front woman is amazing, the drummer who replaces her is her drum teacher Beto Ramos. I recommend that you see, even if you don't react to it, "Narcicista (Live Foro DiDi Monterrey)" (it's my favorite) so that you can see Pau in his environment 🤟, in that presentation it was the debut of that song.

[@spaceknave]

Thanks for the fun and illuminating breakdown. This concert was kind of a big deal for them, they brought out some of their teachers and mentors, like Beto Ramos and Ale’s bass teacher Pablo Gonzales Sarre and another guitarist friend, Pliego Villarreal (same last name, not related.) to play on a couple songs. It was highest production show for them at the time in a historic opera house in Mexico City. Thanks for the great reaction video.

[@adderalli]

YES !! MORE OF THE WARNING !!!

[@robertkrawitz8237]

They did this at the Mercury Lounge in NY with Jay de la Cueva also on guitar. Dany played her usual solo and Jay played a very long one. It had a real Iron Maiden feel with the dueling lead guitars. Definitely listen to 23 from this concert next. You'll love it.

[@renemonroy214]

Next song: Queen of the Murder Scene (live at Teatro Metropolitan). It has everything: badass bass, badass drums, badass riffs, solo, harmonies, stage presence, nasty vocals, evil, background screams recorded by Dany, really catchy, etc. It’s basically the climax of their concept album with the same name. You will be forced to do a bit of research to understand the song. But oh man is worth. You’ll find Dust to Dust is from same album and you’ll want to react to all of it.

[@Chip-dm5uw]

Another great reaction Phil, liked the end of video bloopers. I think it is time for Automatic Sun. A live performance with studio audio. This is a very recent song released on 5th April 2024. If you like fuzzy guitars and fuzzy bass with crazy Pau drum fills, look no further than the Pal Norte Festival video. If you are currently in the USA, The Warning has released some N.American dates. You must watch them live. If Canada? Because you say ZED and not ZEE, then The Warning will be in Canada in October, supporting Halestorm and Amy Lee's Evanescence. I personally am from Liverpool, England, so I prefer ZEE and see them in Liverpool, in July and Dublin in Ireland too.😁🤟

[@LorraineBaker-vm9vl]

he's Canadian I believe

[@Jmg831]

Wait till you listen to their other song in Spanish “Martirio” to me that song is a masterpiece and they played it in this very concert 😊

[@eduardoromero2611]

Dude this is not just a reaction, it's an amazing and well done deep analysis of the song, from the composition, the song writting, to the staging of it. Really good job! Looking foward for more videos like this, it doesn't matter the artist, of course I'd like to hear what you have to say about TW, they got me really bad a few years ago with their first album, but I'll stay in tune for other bands too, really cool style and charisma. You kick ass! Hope the channel go huge, you earned a new fan. And yeah, you can go eyes closed with this sisters, all of their work is good stuff 🤘

[@LorraineBaker-vm9vl]

this is exactly what I've been spamming Phil with 😂. He has a very deep understanding of music, and imo he's not giving himself enough credit. His videos are better than 99% of "reaction channels" out there

Great job again Phil. This is “fierce” Pau. Watch her cover of Creep for “vulnerable” Pau. Also, this was part of an encore after a 20+ song performance. The energy levels for all three ladies was incredible. Keep the analysis coming!

[@CraigCholar]

[@JaimeMartin724]

I am a native Spanish speaker, and I didn't know what the word "malinchista" meant. It is a very Mexican word. This song was the first time I had heard it. But as you said, really makes all the difference in why they wrote the lyrics the way they did! VIVA THE WARNING!!!!!!

[@PhilZero]

🤠💜🤘

[@aleirazia]

Soy mexicana, la palabra "Malinchista" viene de "La Malinche", que fue una mujer nativa de México que traicionó a su pueblo y fungió como interprete, consejera, intermediaria y amante de Hernán Cortés. Prácticamente ella facilitó muchas cosas para que se lograra la conquista del Imperio Azteca. A las chicas de The Warning se les criticó muchísimo porque todas sus canciones estaban en inglés, por lo mismo tenían más éxito en Estados Unidos, y hacían más presentaciones allá. La Malinche prefirió a Hernán Cortés, y The Warning "prefería Estados Unidos", para los haters de TW tenía sentido decirles malinchistas, pero en México AMAMOS a the warning, canten en el idioma que canten, la música es el idioma universal, y ellos supieron callarlos así La voz de Pau es única, fácil de reconocer en donde sea, y las canciones que ella interpreta por completo te impactan * 23 Teatro Metropolitan * Revenant Teatro Metropolitan * Breathe - Pepsi Center (es la unica vez que la ha cantado en vivo) y un plus, es que hay un cover de ella más joven de Creep - Radiohead, te deja sin palabras (y como recomendación, ve hasta el último segundo de video) PD. The Warning hará una gira en Norteamerica en sept-oct, por lo que sería genial que fueras a alguno de sus conciertos! y si hicieras alguna especie de vlog para compartirnos la experiencia de verlas en vivo sería genial!

At 11:24 Pau completes a heart with an audience member(fan cams show it the guy was close to fainting) but Ale and Dany both smiled in the next few frames for that reason. I agree Pau is a beast no doubt. To quote one of my favorite movies she may be small but she is strong her first baby came out sideways and she didn't scream or nothin. 🤣 edit: ironically this is one of the few songs that Mony(mama) helped write. Also I keep seeing people reacting and saying in a roundabout way but not realizing that The Warning has their own unique sound...they are creating their own genre of rock imo which does not happen very often. Ironically the Mexican press is embracing them now as the new rock godesses of Mexican rock.

[@billyholderman1691]

Ramos playing the drums is one of her drum coaches..I think it's called a repeater switch when you activated and play a section of guitar then when you switch it off it keeps repeating the same thing over and over until you hit the switch and it cuts it off and you're back to only one guitar song..,...ZZ top Band there guitar player used to use one all the time

[@The_Link-Rocks]

Phil I really enjoy your Reactions. I have to say you were spot on with Pau being the Tiger. Here are some observations I have written about these young woman. I think you will enjoy. I call it my reading of the room. Something I have done for some time. Here is the shortened version. Each member of the rock band "The Warning" possesses distinct qualities that contribute to their collective success on stage and off. Ale, (The Panther) with her air of mystery and elegance, exudes a subtle yet potent presence that draws others in effortlessly. Her keen sense of observation and adaptability allow her to navigate various situations with precision, making her a valuable asset both professionally and personally. Operating discreetly in the shadows, Ale quietly achieves her goals, leaving a lasting impression on those around her. Danny (The Lioness), on the other hand, radiates a regal presence characterized by confidence and natural leadership abilities. Her fearless determination and unwavering loyalty make her a pillar of support for her sisters, while her magnetic charisma captivates audiences, bringing a thrilling energy to every performance. Lastly, Pau (The Tiger) embodies strength, endurance, and self-assuredness, particularly evident behind the drum kit where she confronts challenges with unwavering confidence. Her sharp focus, problem-solving skills, and willingness to take calculated risks make her an indispensable part of the band. Pau's independence and adaptability allow her to excel in diverse environments, while her boldness and determination inspire admiration from her bandmates and fans alike. Together, these sisters form a formidable team, each bringing their unique strengths to create unforgettable music experiences.
