The fame and R&R badassery keep growing while they remain the nicest, sweetest young ladies they always were. Great parenting!

This 2022 Enter Sandman video was actually my introduction to The Warning...about a week and a half ago now. I immediately became interested in checking out their other stuff and have come to learn that a lot of people first found them through Enter Sandman, but a much earlier version. Working backwards through their KZbin uploads and watching them all shrink was wild, but even some of their earliest stuff is quite enjoyable listening.

Wave…Pau’s harmonies in this version are so in your face amazing. The feel they’ve given their version is so sinister and haunting but yet so beautiful. Dany’s vocals? Awesome. Did you catch Ale’s backing singing “grain of sand” during the prayer? Love that Ale’s vocals were finally higher in the mix. They SLAYED this. It’s their song now.

[@northof4912]

Thanks for pointing that out! Had to go back and focus on it!

[@northof4912]

@melmar prush And? The point is what?

[@northof4912]

@melmar prush If you’re talking about the “grain of sand” pretty odd that you can see Ale singing it…..

[@ronhall5395]

When Ale leans into that bass during the first verse, it made the hair on my neck stand up. Love this live version.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

They grew a lot last summer when they were touring with Halestorm and the difference showed during these two concerts at Teatro Metropolitan. But I think they gained a lot of confidence and swagger by playing at this venue as it is a historic venue where it is an honor for Mexican artists to perform. And they sold out two shows there playing before 3000+ in the audience each time. You could see the difference in the fall when they toured again with Halestorm and then in the late fall when they toured in Canada with Three Days Grace. Toward the end of their fall tour with Halestorm, Arejay Hale came out to perform on drums with TW for Narcisista freeing Pau to come out front and play diva. During their Canadian tour with 3DG Dany came out to perform vocals on Painkiller. So, yeah, if there was any doubt before, they have become legitimate Rock Stars in the past year. Most touring bands know who they are by now. And for their headlining shows for the US this year Plush and Holy Wars are opening for them. How cool is that? They are having their own female-fronted/all-female band tour.

[@LesDexia13]

It was a huge honor when Muse asked them to open 4 dates in their home country, which they had done for several other big groups, but it's an even bigger honor for Muse to have them open five dates in Europe this summer. The girls are going to get MASSIVE exposure from the old school European music press who are more receptive to new talent than the US corporate media, and the Muse fan base will hopefully create enough buzz to generate a big bump in sales.

[@oldmanyeni1663]

Wave, thanks for coming back to this song. 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 troups, 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. OMG, I never knew I needed these riffs in half time. So powerful. This version when played live has a huge impact on the crowd. It took them a while to really figure out how to do it, but man oh man, do they have it dialed in now. I really think that learning from Lzzy help Dany's vocals a ton. I saw them play their version in Arkansas (supporting Halestorm) a couple weeks before this video was shot. It left 6000 people breathless. There were many many new Warneros (those who have been warned) I talked to after the Arkansas show. The video from this show is mind-blowingly good. I think it is now in my top-10 favorite live recordings of all time. (Queen @ Wembly, Rush @ Rio, Who Live @ Leeds, Nightwish @ Wacken, Talking Heads Stop Making Sense, Johnny Cash @ Folsom Prison are others)

[@johnager6226]

I love how you get so excited over The Warning. I hope you get to see them again soon. I don't think it was an accident they went viral, but I get what you mean. ❤✌🤘 U.K.

[@TheUnderdogDe]

They tried to mail the video to their grandparents but the file was too big so they uploaded it on KZbin and sent the link. Then they went on vacation and when they came back their dad's mailbox was flooded and the number of views was insane. This was when the girls understood how much they liked the feedback on their video and they just wanted to play more and more.

[@nbrowser]

How it started versus how it's going and how The Warning is killing it...I learned about them less than a month ago...absolutely killer music and it's played with feeling and soul.

[@professorg9424]

Gotta catch all the Teatro Metropolitan videos. Really catches how great they are live.

[@danw1955]

Pretty cool that Lzzy Hale presented Dany with that Explorer... and that she uses it on this particular song. I just noticed a couple weeks ago that James Hetfield ALSO played an Explorer and you see it on at least one or two album covers. They absolutely nailed this at Teatro Metropolitan, and you can tell by the crowd's response that it's definitely a new favorite!!😍 🤘😎🤘

[@NoSmokingDogs]

Didn't realize the original 2014 version was up to 24.6M views. Seems like it was in the 22M range only 18 months ago prior to the release of their Blacklist version.

[@LesDexia13]

In early 2021 somebody linked the video on a James Hetfield fanpage and it went viral again. 3.4 millions views in less than 4 days, and over 8 million views within a month.

[@carlossaraiva8213]

In any other band Alejandra would be the undisputed band lead thanks to her musicianship, effortless charisma and great vocal abilities.

[@AchimE]

Nice reaction! They made it a new song, these harmonies are absolutely perfect! In general, I‘d love if the backing vocals on their recordings would be so prominent as they are live! Their stage performance is on a new level! I‘m already excited to see them in Germany in June at a festival! They have new tour dates for the US too, together with Plush! Thanks, see ya 👍⚡️🤘

[@elgonwilliams7624]

I think they are going to blow away a lot of folks in Europe.

[@NealB123]

Oh, hell yeah. That was a vid for abuelo y abuela and darn if it didn't explode. They were off on a family vacation and weren't even aware it was going viral until a couple days later.

[@IAMTHEJUGGERNATE]

Ya having all the mirrors in their home studio was an invaluable tool for their stage presence, I think. I wonder if that was something their engineer dad came up with, because that was a really smart idea. If you just sit still and play when you're practicing, you're basically just practicing for the recording studio, not the live performance. But if you can see yourself playing and can actually work on how you look while you're playing, then you're practicing for putting on a show.

[@robertott1172]

I think the mirrors in The Cave are part of their successful stage presence. But added to that was 100+ live shows adding to their confidence, along with all the exposure of watching how the bands they toured with performed on stage.

[@TheUnderdogDe]

For sure, the girls hardly complained about the mirrors. We all know how today's youth love mirrors. Well, most of them anyway. 😁

[@krash66]

Hey Wave! I am so grateful that they are coming to my city, Atlanta, again this year (3rd time in 12 months)! This time as headliner (with Plush!) in a larger venue, but still about half the size of the theater in this video. AND, I have meet and greet VIP tickets! I am sure having a larger stage and stage setup, along with them honing their stage skills after 100 shows last year will make this tour incredible!! Oh, and BTW, Wave, 2 days later, at the same venue, I am going to see ... Band-Maid!!! Best month of May EVER!

[@WavePotter]

Not gonna lie, I’m a little jealous! 😂 But that’s so cool! Have a great time!

[@aliciawooz8417]

This version is by far my favorite! It's grittier and more compact than the studio version so it just keeps your attention the entire time. It's absolutely fantastic! ❤

[@robertott1172]

Nice reaction! The vocals on the backing track are Alessia Cara. Remember, this song was a collaboration with her, and Dany introduces the song as such.

[@larrywhite2956]

Dude when they first playing this song live it was very difficult to imitate the studio version . Over time they have worked on this live version and the changes made have now made the live version as you have witnessed DOPE!!!! Also, they appear to still be playing some of the smaller venues as I have tickets to see them on May 18 at the Underground in Charlotte, NC. Much love from West Virginia, USA!

[@paulallison6418]

Great Reaction Mr Potter! Even though I have heard this performance a thousand times and shared it with dozens of reactors you have still managed to bring some additional insight into this performance, thank you.

[@ersolmo]

Gran reacción mi estimado de las diosas del rock. Saludos desde México ❤

[@pablosartor6715]

Great reaction! These sisters are overwhelmingly talented!! EPIC live song ending in a supernova! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@gmantw]

This entire performance was so epic, and mind blowing goodness. They have no fear on stage, and they attack with that hunger we haven't seen in such a long time. I think touring with Halestorm was the best thing for them learning the ropes stage wise, but they always killed it up there. I'm with you tho, this song, this night, is absolutely incredible. Hits me the same way. 🤘⚡🤘

[@alejandrochapa2294]

Great reaction like always!! And yes there is a small 1 month USA tour but thats because they are heading to Europe for the summer!! UK, Switzerland, France, Germany, Scotland and Poland until now are booked!!

[@MarkLang61]

They have several other songs from this show at "Teatro Metropolitan CDMX". Top notch quality videos.

[@Dave_Marks]

Music recorded in Mar 2021 in one week. Then they had to sit on it until September 2021 when the video was recorded in an abandoned textile mill south of Monterrey, MX. Released as the first track on the Metallica Blacklist album. Teatro Metropolitan is a 3000 seat venue. They sold it out for two shows.

[@roywall8169]

Makes you proud, doesn’t it!

[@MrSudeepdas]

When this live version of Enter Sandman was released a month back I had commented about confusions that the videography created by focussing on Ale at certain times. She had mainly surfed the lower range in this song; at times almost inaudible when Pau had come in with her vocals along with the backing track of Alessia. We can distinguish all 4 singers by their tonal textures. In 1st iteration of "Hush now baby..." Ale's low utterings are distinctly heard on right side under Dany's melody. 2nd Iteration - Pau comes in with her earthy raspiness staying mainly within Dany's powered up grit. Ale is still there but almost inaudible as Alessia's crooning is introduced subtly along with Pau & Ale's ethereal harmonies from the original video. 3rd iteration - Pau ramps up the power at a higher range and we need to really strain ourselves to hear Ale's voice here. Its barely there in the mix. Thankfully in Disciple the video editing team focussed on singers relevant to the vocals heard. Pau had taken background harmonies to the next level in this concert, specially in this song. She had ramped up power on top of Dany, in various intensities & scale as demanded by the song. She had almost sung the entire melody here!!!

[@markgossman9350]

In the 3rd iteration I think the high part is Ale's falsetto not Pau, which is why the camera is on Ale. In the live version of Disciple Ale is doing the high part of the chorus, it's in the studio version too just not as noticeable as the live.

[@MrSudeepdas]

@@markgossman9350 As I said before the camera work in Enter Sandman has confused viewers. In Disciple the video editing team was more accurate. In 3rd iteration it is the raspy power of Pau that ramps up on top of Dany's increasing grit. Ale is still in the low range which is almost inaudible. The reason they focussed on her. While in Disciple we can clearly hear Ale's smooth falsetto riding along with Dany as you noted.

[@robertott1172]

​@Mark Gossman , it was definitely Pau. The high harmony continues even when Ale is nowhere near her microphone. Also, the high harmonies are from the same singer throughout the song, and it was Pau's distinctive voice.

[@markgossman9350]

@@robertott1172 yes pau was singing higher than Dany but We were only focusing on the 3rd iteration of the HUSH Little Baby section @ 3:02 in the live official video. it sounds like Ale's falsetto to me

[@MrSudeepdas]

@@robertott1172 Yeah that raspy earthy voice raw with emotion.

[@BayneUpton]

Watching her performing this song on the guitar that Lzzy gifted her.... awesome

[@jluisg622]

Enter Sandman de The Warning un tema renovado que puede ser mejor que el original

[@tunanorth]

Seems pretty apparent that the music world has realized The Warning is the "next big thing", though the general public has not quite gotten there yet [for unknown reasons!]. You are correct about getting to see them up close and meeting them while you can.

[@ripmcmanus773]

Great reaction! They're just fantastic live and, like you, nothing on their 2023 calendar anywhere near me. But as you say, DANG! Nice, too, that you went from their 2014 cover and to their OMV before you got to this later 2022 live version. Hoping at some point you go back to 2017 and analyze the OMV of XXI Century Blood, if you haven't already. Talk about how far this group had gone just 3 years after their first cover of Enter Sandman!

[@BryanRainey]

It's even better live. I heard this live last year in Houston.

[@TimberWolf762]

I checked my own recordings from the Troubadour last May and it is not as gritty as this version. I love it!

[@thsc9119]

Ale has finally grown into her role as a rock goddess. When she was a gawky kid in her teens, she played bass fine but looked like she was putting on an act as far as her behavior. It seems like she's actually feeling the music as well as playing it. She's got confidence and swagger now.

[@shadowfragment]

There are songs from The Warning that I wasn't a huge fan of when I heard the studio version, then absolutely loved when I saw a live performance of it. They just seem to be at their best playing live, and studio recordings don't always do them justice. I've had similar experiences with Band Maid; all of their songs sound like 20% better live.

[@randymarple9830]

Their Dad recorded the 2014 cover and the file was to large to email, so he put it on KZbin so the grandparents could see how the girls were progressing. They went on a family vacation(a cruise) and didn't have wifi. When they got home, they found out the video had gone viral.

[@DM80srock]

I do agree that they are so awesome live and can't wait for next month here in Cali (Santa Ana)

[@DadQuixote7]

Wave gets it.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

What they have done with this is nothing short of brilliant. I think it's simply a much better song than the original, and they can do things vocally that very few bands can hope to match. The way Dany goes from angry defiance in the recitative immediately to the gentle first "hush" phrase, through the majestic buildup into the final furious riff, which of course they don't simply copy either, is simply breathtaking.

[@TomTomson81]

Dany plays Lizzy Hale's guitar. It was given to her by her. She is a big fan of the three.

[@chrisegbertky]

Super! Thanks Wave!

[@reynaldorodriguez7981]

como siempre genial reacción hacia la banda, se ve que te encanta mucho como a muchos de nosotros!!! totalmente de acuerdo con tigo en tu opinión hacia la banda, gran trabajo tuyo y de la banda ⚡⚡🤘🤘

[@LaredoIsntSoBad]

The only reason I would want the girls today to do the original cover of Enter Sandman again is to see how improved Dani's solo is. :)

[@northof4912]

Disciple from this concert is even better!

[@jluisg622]

Grandes temas de The Warning que son muy poco reaccionados y poco aprovechados por los reactores y son :Show Me The Liht, Escape The Mind, Breathe, Revenant, Kool aid kids,Amour, SHATTERED HEART, UGH, HUNTER, BLACK HOLES, ,UNMENDABLE ,EXTERMINATED,PSYCHOTIC, XXI Century Blood solo algunas

[@romeoromo-kt5vn]

My friend... The Warning and Michael Starr LIVE/ Highway to Hell please

[@larryfox4915]

The Warning brings it, each and every time.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

To me, what happens here, is that since they are not collaborating with Alessia, who is a pop artist, they can unleash the beast, which confirms to me that, if they would have done the cover by themselves, it would have been even better and it was already by far the best one on the Blacklist album.

[@psychologyofrock]

♥️♥️♥️

[@pedrometal1597]

Love the warning 🤘

[@jonbowser4944]

Lizzy Hale gave Dani that Gibson guitar when they toured with her

[@vjordan1709]

Great touch using the " Lzzy Hale Explorer" for the Metallica song ala James Hetfield....

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

I didn’t like the original version of this arrangement, but once I heard it live without Alessia (aside from the backing track), the song clicked. No disrespect to Alessa, but her voice doesn’t have the edge that I look for in rock and metal. Regarding Ale, I’ve always had the impression that she has the widest vocal range of the three. It’s hard to tell since she so rarely does distinguishable vocals, but if they need a high harmony, they usually go to her. I’d love if she sang lead more. I know it’s her choice and I respect that, but it feels like a bit of a missed opportunity.

[@robertott1172]

Pau sang all the prominent high harmonies in this song. Ale sang the low harmonies. Frankly, Ale's harmonies are recorded so low that they hardly contribute to the song. Maybe it's intentional so her vocals don't clash with Dany's and Pau's vocals, but what's the point of having her sing if her voice can't be heard?

[@booradley8895]

To be fair to Alessia she was invited to partake in this charity album and without her there would be no new arrangement.

[@TheUnderdogDe]

@@booradley8895, I really like the accent Alessia has in her voice, but in my opinion, this song fits better with Dany's grit in the beginning.

[@PaleHorseShabuShabu]

@@booradley8895 I'm aware. Doesn't mean I have to like her voice.

[@sergiogonzalez1400]

I would also like to hear and see Ale sing as a leader. and I respect her decision, but since she is the youngest, just to this day her voice is maturing and her change has been more drastic than the change in voice of Dany and Pau, so in some of her live performances she has been exposed Due to these changes and considering her character and perfectionism and the fact that she is still a teenager, I think that she lacks some security to take the lead but she enjoys singing and it shows that she sings away from the microphone while playing so now that she has grown up She will gain more confidence and I hope that one day she will surprise us by recording a song as the main voice, that is my hope, but she will be the one who decides.

[@jamie_lb_]

I don't like Metallica's music, but I like this version by The Warning 🤟

Yes. The song was a collaboration with Alessia, and Dany introduces it to the audience that way.
