It was this version of their cover of Enter Sandman that made me love The Warning and become a fan. 3 days later i had already bought a ticket for their April 2024 show in Lisboa, Portugal. In my fntire life i only bought 5 tickets for a live concert and 3 of them were for Depeche Mode. The Warning show was amazing. It was a small venue but they gave it all, they dont slouch on the job.

This is the first track on The Metallica Blacklist, and is the only cover that truly followed Metallica's instructions, which were essentially, "Do whatever you want, take it apart, turn it inside out - just don't change the lyrics."

[@sergioperez2594]

They are only a three piece band but actually there are six intruments on stage because all three sisters sing.

[@MattKittredge2112]

Yep! Rush was the same way…just 3 musicians, but each member took on multiple duties on stage, and as a result they sounded like a 6-piece

When The Warning recorded Enter Sandman for the Black List album with Alessia Cara, Dani was 20, Pau was 18 and Ale was 15. When they did the live concert at Teatro Metropolitan in 2022 Dani 22 Pau 20 and Ale was 17 at this concert which happened August 29 2022 in Mexico City

[@mjc1389]

The US seems to be the only country sleeping on The Warning. They are a much bigger band internationally than they are here in the US, for now. Considering they just played very good time slots for both Wacken and Pol’and’Rocks, 2 of the biggest festivals in the world, I’d say they are a “thing”. Their first “single” off their 4th album Keep Me Fed, S!CK, made the Top 10 on Billboard’s Mainstream Rock chart and Hell You Call a Dream either debuted or entered the Top 40 in its 2nd week. They also had a hit single in Canada with the song Money. KMF also debuted as #1 album on one of the British charts. They are touring and playing festivals in the US for the rest of the summer then touring with Halestorm and Evanescence in Canada this fall. Who knows, maybe another VMA appearance next month? They were MTV’s Push Artists for July.

[@SDsailor7]

If they win the PUSH video of the year yeah they might make an appearance.

[@StrdFrgman]

They worked up the arrangement, recorded it in collaboration, in 9 days I think it was. Alesia has more of a following than TW (at the time anyway). They were never together for the project. The video is cool. Has Alesia projected onto the wall, to include her unit. Great reaction! 🤘🕊❤️🤘⚡️⚡️⚡️

[@saltydroog854]

I think you are right about the high-hat sounds you mentioned. They can be heard in the live version too, albeit much softer, and you can see that Pau isn't playing them. So they are part of the click track that orchestrates the show. I don't say that to throw shade. It's a 3 piece band, so they need to fill out, and a backing track is part of that. Also, they are more than just musicians, they are complete nerds when it comes to the tech side of their craft, so the overall production is IMO part of what makes them special.

[@richr6249]

Thanks for the lesson!

[@shawncooley5194]

Excellent reaction. Saw them open for The Pretty Reckless just before this show. At first skeptical about this cover, then about halfway into the song thinking it was spectacular. The lead singers voice and stage presence are fantastic, yet the drummers energy and back up voice is captivating. You cannot take your eyes off of her! It’s no surprise she’s the current drummer of the year. The second version you played is their video. It’s good

[@sb859]

You need to see the OMV version, it is wild! The Warning composed and recorded the song in only 7 days, and I think shot the video in that time as well. This is Track 1 on the Metallica Blacklist album! And don't forget, just 1 guitar!

[@bobby75044]

The music video with Alissa was first to come out, which is the version on the Blacklist album. The live version is from that one with Alissa backup on a backing track.

[@jodale1972]

One thing to keep in mind about this cover for The Warning, Metallica is a 4 piece with 2 guitars, 1 bass, and drums while The Warning is only a 3 piece but the sound is still just as full.

[@KansaSCaymanS]

11:53 ToadsNewMania didn’t seem to understand that the reason people request reactors to watch the 2014 version, is because that is what launched their career, and it went viral at a time when “viral videos” were not nearly as common as they are now; and if his/her grandkids can play that well at the ages The Warning were then (14,12,9), I would be very impressed.

Metallica gave the girls 1 week to do this all, and they are number one on the blacklist album. Alissa Cara was in Canada and The girls were in their Mexico home and it was still in lockdown. They rewrote it at Metallica's remastered it it and got it to them on time. The one guy that didn't like them is no skin off the Warning's back. It is good to go back to go forward.

The biggest difference between this version (and the official version commissioned by Metallica) is that the original viral video was a straight cover. THIS version was meant to be a reinterpretation without being a direct cover. The studio version with Alessia Cara is softer vocally; Dany adds some growl to it.

[@mickypescatore9656]

Well, I like it more than the original, really! ... Studio or live? I don`t know. I cannot decide!....🙄🤩

[@paulrowe006]

Metallica's guidance to artists for the Blacklist album was to change things up and turn things inside out, just don't change the lyrics. The Warning definitely understood the assignment! It was during the pandemic so Alessia Cara was in Canada and they were in Mexico. If you check out the OMV you'll see Alessia appears as a projection since she couldn't travel.

[@LostHate]

This is the one song I always recommend the music video for. It'll give a better idea of who's singing what parts with 4 very talented singers. Plus it's a awesome and beautiful video.

[@curtellingboe2949]

David Bendeth may have added the trap high-hat when he mixed this track, he had earlier produced their third album. It remained in the backing track during live performances. Pau doesn’t appear to play them in this behind the scenes video showing the girls recording this song in studio. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f5u6i5-QgtOkoJYsi=9qjUmDuQDkGEWDAK

[@scottlafleur4148]

If you watch the live version Pau plays her snare and toms in that part and would need a third arm to play that high hat. It's a track live. Not sure if it's digital or not. My guess is it is

[@thancrow]

The Explorer that Dany is playing was gifted to her by Lzzy Hale during their set when they opened for Halestorm.

Your chat missed the point of the rearranged version of ES. It was for the Metallica Blacklist charity album celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Black album. 53 artists were invited to choose a song and arrange it however they wanted. Just don't change the lyrics. This was Alessia's and The Warning's contribution to that project. The producer for their version was Matt Squire and producer David Bendeth mixed it, as Matt had a prior commitment and had to leave before he could mix it himself. David Bendeth was the producer for The Warning's "Error" album.

[@josephparra231]

Metallica asked The Warning to remake the song. Miley Cyrus has her own version of Enter Sandman. I think at least five other artists have Enter Sandman’s versions and other artists have other songs. They have Juanes, which I believe he is a Spanish singer, The Hu, Mongolian band, country I think, I’ve only listen to The Warning’s version. For those people that say that is sacrilegious to change the original, you must remember that this was Metallica’s idea. I wouldn’t call The Warning’s a cover but a rendition and the cover they released to KZbin in 2014 was pretty good for ages 9 thru 14 and they only had one guitar, whereas Metallica has 2 guitars. Metallica to me were really good the early years once they started to change the lineup. They seized to be a top tier band!

[@Divedown_25]

For the Metallica Blacklist album with 53 artist doing their own rendition of a song from the Black Album the question was asked to Alessia Cara if she wanted to contribute on the album and she is on the same agency as TW and someone suggested to Alessia Cara a cooperation with TW. The rest is history as they say. From Metallica’s point of view in an interview with Rolling Stone “We said, ‘Pick a song. Do what you want with it. If you want to play it backwards or turn it on its head, we respect and appreciate it.’ ” -Lars Ulrich

[@richr6249]

there's another interview with Lars where he said he was amazed at where people took it. He didn't name names tho.

Hey AR! You really should check out the official music video for this. This version was made for the Metallica Blacklist Album. It is an album for charity celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Black Album. 53 different artists were invited to do covers of their favorite song from the album in their own style. Metallica's instructions were to turn it upside down and inside out, but don't change the lyrics. Metallica asked Alessia Cara (Grammy-Winning Canadian pop singer/songwriter), and she shares the same international management firm as The Warning, and they suggested the collaboration. This was during Covid, so Alessia was working from Toronto and Producer Matt Squire went to Monterrey, MX to work with The Warning and work with Alessia via Zoom. They did this all in 8 days to meet the publishing deadline. Absolutely astonishing! BTW, since this album was done for charity, it will not be blocked if you react to the official video.

Alessia Cara is much "bigger" than The Warning, but not a heavy rock artist, so the management looped in The Warning. In the studio version, AC's vocals are most present in the first half, then the vocals transition to Dany, with AC singing the ah-ah's. Live, TW play AC's vocals as a backing track. They always say her name when introducing the song. There's a fan video of AC singing this song with TW at a famous LA club. It's a bit erratic and lotsa fun.

This was a colab with 53 different artists for the black list album for Metallica’s 30th year anniversary of the black album. Alessia Cara is a Canadian Pop singer and I just think that Dani and Pau could have handled all the singing parts.

I NOW prefer this version to Metallicas, mainly because over the last 30+years we've heard the original so many times, often over played on local radio stations. So this version is a breath of fresh air. Sure it was Alisia who was invited to the Blacklist album BUT it was the mind of Pau who came up with the format. and saying so I prefer the studio as well as Pau saying the prayer is more haunting and fitting. And then the last 30 seconds is a nod to the original like saying SEE we COULD have done a note for note cover
