The Warning - Black Holes (Live from Pepsi Center) Reaction | Metal Producer Reacts to

[@oldmanyeni1663]

Whew. 13-year old Paulina writes this song. Now nearly 10 years later, they add an all-female string section and Pau lets us in the 8000-strong choir help her sing. One of the most memorable and touching live performances I have ever attended. What a special evening that they captured so very well.

[@reylynx]

Thank you so much for sharing that incredible background! It's amazing to think that Paulina wrote this song when she was just 13, and now, after nearly a decade, they’ve elevated it with such a powerful live performance. I can only imagine how moving it must have been with the string section and the crowd joining in. Were you there for this special performance? I'd love to hear more about your experience! If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family.

[@oldmanyeni1663]

@@reylynx I was indeed there as one of the 8000 member choir. One of the most memorable live events I have attended in more than 45 years of concert going. This particular song left nearly all of us in tears of many emotions. They pulled out all the stops for this concert, and everyone in the hall that night walked out with a huge smile on their face.

[@roywall8169]

Pau wrote this song about the struggles of addiction. She captured the despair, loneliness and longing for something better in its composition. “All alone in an ally way staring at my face, in the reflections of broken bottles. Didn’t know I had so many scars…..I thought I had won my different battles…..”. She is a genius. A once in a lifetime talent.

[@reylynx]

Thank you for your insightful comment! Pau's songwriting truly does capture deep emotions and struggles with remarkable intensity. The imagery of broken bottles and scars adds a powerful layer of vulnerability to the song. What aspects of the song do you think resonate most with listeners who have experienced similar struggles? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

Piano is the first instrument that all 3 learned. They played classical music recitals when very young before going down the rock path. Pau still writes on piano for most of her songs.

[@legslark]

Pau is amazing!! This song, written by Pau at 13, makes me cry every time I hear it! There are singing drummers and then there is Pau, who doesn’t just sing a song, she makes you feel the song!!!💔😂👏⚡️

[@reylynx]

Absolutely! Pau's ability to convey emotion through her music is truly remarkable. It’s hard to believe she wrote "Black Holes" at just 13! What part of the song hits you the hardest? 💔 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! If you like my other video, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@stephenb4703]

I cry every time also.

[@cncs2806]

She was feeling sick that day and her voice wasn't at 100%🤯BTW, she wrote that song when she was like 14. These girls are the real deal.

[@reylynx]

Thanks for the insight! It’s impressive to hear that Paulina wrote "Blackholes" at such a young age, especially considering her condition during the performance. Do you know if she’s mentioned any other songs from that period or if they have special significance to her? If you like my other videos, I’d be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@cncs2806]

@@reylynx I believe the inspiration for this song in particular was an article about addiction that she read. Fortunately, it wasn't anything personal. They've always had a very caring and supportive family and they've never done any drugs or anything like that.🙂

[@zroter]

This song is full of emotion. If you liked Pau on the piano, be ready for the next Pepsi Center video that will come in a few days. The song is Breathe, a song that Pau said she would NEVER play live because it is very personal to her. She did, this ONE time, at the Pepsi Center.

[@reylynx]

Thanks for sharing that insight! It's amazing to hear that "Breathe" will be featured in the upcoming Pepsi Center video, especially since Pau mentioned she would never play it live. It must be a powerful performance. Do you know if there's a specific reason why "Breathe" is so personal to her? I'd love to hear more about that. If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@randymarple9830]

@@reylynx Some things are to personal to reveal. The fact that she played it LIVE for us should be enough. You will understand once you see and hear the song. If you don't, you shouldn't be a reactor.

[@Ramvek33]

She lost a friend.

[@keenian6164]

You can't resist to cry when you'll react to Breathe from the same concert! It's almost IMPOSSIBLE!!

[@reylynx]

Thanks for the heads-up! I’m definitely curious now to see what “Breathe” has in store. Did it hit you in the feels too when you first watched it? I love how The Warning's live performances are so full of emotion. If you like my other video, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family! 😊

[@MaddogJones]

Fun fact, Pau was playing piano WAY before she started playing drums, in fact all three are virtuoso pianists...

[@reylynx]

Thanks for the fun fact! It's amazing to hear that Pau and the sisters started as pianists. Their musical talent really shines through in everything they do! Do you have a favorite piano piece or performance from them? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@Scott_Diverscott]

It’s just one amazing song after the next with the warning.

[@reylynx]

Amen bro. %100

[@SirCamsmorethanalot]

How can every song be astoundingly great!?!?!?!?!?!!!

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Written by her when she was like 13 years old about addiction/alcoholism. Not your average rock drummer. ❤️

[@reylynx]

Wow, that’s incredible! I had no idea Paulina wrote it at such a young age-what a powerful topic to tackle so early on. It really shows her talent and depth as a songwriter. Do you have a favorite moment from the live performance? ❤️ If you like my other video, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!Wow, that’s incredible!

[@rogerreed905]

The crowd is excited for her because she rarely sings this and to make it all the way without her emotions grabbing her is awesome . .

[@spidernose]

The emotions will get her (and all of us) tomorrow when we all get to see her perform Breathe, for the first and most likely only time.

[@MrJest2]

Pau's predilection to crying aside, I believe the main reasons they don't often play this one live is that it's difficult to lug a keyboard around on international tours (at least, at their current level of traveling budget) and also it's a bit older - they'll generally want to showcase their newest music. Not that this has ever stopped them from performing "fan favorites", no matter how old the song is!! They know very well fans love this tune; which is why I think it's rarity live is more logistical than anything else - similarly to "Revenant", because it kind of _requires_ a second guitar player. I'm sure they'd love to play both of them often.

[@stevel4265]

If they drop the song that followed ... that one is just as tear-full (Breath)

[@spaceknave]

All three had a bad case of flu over the couple weeks that they performed these three 10year anniversary shows. They carried on and it was nearly impossible to tell they were sick. They also performed their version of Enter Sandman with strings. It’s pretty epic. No, doing things ordinary isn’t something they do.

[@reylynx]

That's incredible to hear! It’s amazing how they pushed through being sick and still delivered such a powerful performance. I can only imagine how epic their version of "Enter Sandman" with strings must have been! Did you have a favorite moment from those anniversary shows? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@philwrichtube]

All one can say is "Wow" !!

[@reylynx]

Right?! That performance really blew me away too! What was your favorite part of the song? I'd love to hear your thoughts. And if you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family 😊

[@davep5788]

No one was ready for this.

[@reylynx]

Right? It hit differently live! The energy was off the charts! What surprised you the most about the performance? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

Such an awesome song but even more when you consider she was 13 when she wrote this! And her voice always hits right in the feels!

[@juanpallautapulido200]

Usually, Pau writes music on piano. She have said that many of The Warning songs have an origin as a piano ballad. As a drummer she is a blast of enegry, but when she sits on the Piano, she lets her more vunerable side to appear.

[@reylynx]

Thanks for sharing that insight! It’s fascinating to hear how Pau’s songwriting process starts with piano ballads-definitely adds another layer to their music. I love how artists can show different sides of themselves through their instruments. Do you have a favorite song from The Warning that highlights that vulnerability? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family!

[@TerryParsons1724]

Amazing song the next one is Breathe and it's emotional AF. Thanks dude nice reaction. 🔥⚡

[@reylynx]

Thanks so much for your kind words! I’m really looking forward to reacting to "Breathe" next; I’ve heard it’s super emotional! What about that song hits you the most? If you like my other videos, I would be happy to have you as part of my KZbin Family! 🔥⚡

[@mrh3578]

She gave it her all. She looked exhausted but so happy. Absolutely stunning performance with the string section.

[@reylynx]

Absolutely! You could really see how much energy she put into that performance. It was so moving to watch her connect with the audience while being backed by the string section-it added such a beautiful depth to the song. Did you have a favorite moment from the live performance?

[@dvalentino1]

Another great reaction Rey! You’re starting to find out that The Warning is full of surprises. Just when you think you’re getting a handle on their style of music, they release another groundbreaking original creation. When they released the lyric video to Revenant, my jaw hit the ground. There’s also an incredible live version from the Teatro Metropolitan concert. Might be cool to do both on one reaction, starting with the lyric video. ✌️❤️🔥

[@reylynx]

Thanks for the awesome feedback! I totally agree-the Warning's ability to surprise and innovate keeps things exciting. I’ll definitely check out the "Revenant" lyric video and its live version from Teatro Metropolitan for a future reaction. What did you think of the live performance compared to the studio version?

[@rogerreed905]

Most of TWs songs are started by Pau on the piano . . They are all claasicaly trained pianists and in music theory . . Checkout Pau doing . . Creep . . 👍👋NZ🇳🇿🍻twa

[@reylynx]

Thanks for the insight! I love learning about the background of The Warning's music. It’s impressive that they’re all classically trained pianists! I’d definitely like to check out Pau's rendition of "Creep." Do you have a favorite performance of hers?

my spanish is bad but ¡Hola! Qué increíble tu experiencia de vivir esa emoción tan de cerca. Me imagino la energía de estar a solo cinco metros del escenario y cantar junto a Paulina y las chicas. ¡Eso debe haber sido épico! Es genial ver cómo The Warning se ha convertido en leyenda para tantos. ¿Cuál fue tu momento favorito de esa presentación? Y ¡feliz Día de la Independencia! Espero que disfrutes los shows en el Auditorio Nacional en febrero. Si te gusta mi otro video, estaría encantado de tenerte como parte de mi KZbin Family. ¡Saludos desde aquí!

How can anyone listen to this and nor comment on the vocals. The orchestra arrangements are good nothing crazy, but her vocals steal the show.

[@reylynx]

Absolutely! The vocals are truly mesmerizing and really do elevate the entire performance. I love how the orchestra complements her voice without overshadowing it.
