There were 8000 of us in that room the night this video was shot in Mexico City. The sound was huge. Fun thing about this song and the vocal backing tracks. The audience has very much now taken over the role of singing those with the band. I just got back from seeing them do three shows in Nottingham, Liverpool, and Dublin. The audience is very familiar with these vocal lines and really sings along with gusto. It is great to be in that kind of crowd with that level of engagement.

[@EdwardRLyons]

I was at the Dublin show, up in the balcony. The sound was immense, especially Ale's bass on Sharks! Second time seeing them, and can't wait for the third in London in April.

[@oldmanyeni1663]

@@EdwardRLyons I too was in the Dublin balcony. The sound up there was fantastic. Yes, Ale's bass in this album really shines (and pounds) on this album as they play the songs live. Great to see. Totally worth my crossing the pond to see them.

[@EdwardRLyons]

@@oldmanyeni1663 It just might have been their last time in such a small venue in Europe! Next year's venues are all much bigger so far.

[@Dave_Marks]

If you want to know what eqipment each of the girls uses, check out the videos they did on the Digitial Tour Bus channel where they each did a rig rundown. Their concert sound engineer is Lalo Plaza who has been with them for several years and is a genius.

[@mjc1389]

The problem with that is that they change up some of their equipment frequently. Ale has likely added another pedal to her rig, Dany has incorporated Fender guitars and Raven picks Pau has a second snare…all just for KMF as an example. I agree that it would give the basics though.

[@hardknox1917]

It’s outdated already for Dany , Dany has changed her main guitar for most the songs in the new album and it’s not on the gear rundown upload

[@gaefferson1]

Sensational band …one of the best bands in the world ..🤘

[@RDG4005]

All Three of The Warning are Classical trained at Panio.

[@pablosartor6715]

Great analysis! Absolutely EPIC live performance!! These sisters are overhwelmingly talented! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@elm6944]

You are very talented!! I just spent 2 hours checking out your stuff ... wow! I really enjoy your break downs in your reactions! Your smart but really cool too!

[@steveherman6909]

I originally found John through Jinjer a couple of years back and am thrilled to see him now breaking down another of my favorite current bands in The Warning. Glad you enjoyed dipping into some of his other videos too. Has both the music theory knowledge as well as being a skilled musician himself.

[@oregonlt3]

Yes, Pau (drummer) runs the click & stems thru Ableton on a Mac Book. She has start & stop pedals so she doesn’t have to fiddle with the computer. Also has controlled the video screens in the past.

[@elgonwilliams7624]

On the studio version of the song there is a slight delay on bass and guitar coming in at the beginning, using the upbeat. As they never do this in concert, I think they have rearranged the live session a bit to synch with the drums. FYI, Paulina, the drummer who usually initiates the composition of their songs, is a huge fan of classical music. So, I wouldn't be surprised if that was an influence on this song.

[@wolfgangwalk337]

The emphasis though stays on the upbeat - if only slightly. I sometimes use this to have an easier time getting into the groove: playing a somewhat more silent bass note to then hit the upbeat emphasis with precision. Sounds a bit like cheating, but it's obviously a legit choice you can make: sounds awesome.

[@patrickmasters7748]

Love the video and the analysis. The ladies are amazingly talented but so are you. Cheers. 🍻 Thanks for the great musical entertainment. 🤘

[@jluisg622]

Por hoy no se tiene en el planeta una banda de rock que en vivo sean tan buenas como The Warning ,no hay

[@RDG4005]

Nice Break Down, Please React to Evolve Live At MTV Music Awards. Or Automatic Sun live Video Studio Audio from Tecate Pa'l Norte festival or MTV Push live. Many Awesome songs to choose from. The Warning -The Best 🔥 🔥🔥

[@reactionsaccount3955]

She does use a Kemper pedalboard and the amp & cabs are profiled from the actual ones used by the producer of the album David Bendeth. I would be interested in you reacting to videos that each of them made showing their live rig rundowns for a KZbin channel called Digital Tour Bus. Another fantastic song of theirs for incredible guitar/bass sound is Automatic Sun and there is a video of them playing this live on the Jimmy Kimmel Show.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

@@Burnout_AU Not in the bass bridge, that's for sure, plus to me The Warning in front of an audience is always better than not.

[@williamburkholder769]

David Bendeth produced *Error.* Anton DeLost was the principal producer of *Keep Me Fed.* I'm sure some of each of their sounds are incorporated in Dany's current programming. The 08/29/2022 Teatro Metropolitan show was done with the rigs the ladies describe in the Digital Tour Bus breakdown videos. By October, 2023, when HYCAD at Pepsi Center was recorded, they had been working with Anton on several songs. Their tools keep evolving...

[@christopherkeller8189]

I always like a musician's perspective on the work of the girls as fellow musicians.

[@wolfgangwalk337]

Yes, that's Beethoven's 7th, second movement. One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever written.

[@stendek9]

Gran reacción...TWA México te saluda...gracias..!!

[@neilhilton8469]

Pau is very open with the use of backing tracks to help fill out the sound and even shows how she runs them from the laptop found just behind her kit. you can even see the laptop in this video behind pau. She also did say in an interview that they would love to have musicians back them but they are not in the financial place where that is possible. BTW, there are gear videos for each of them.

[@romeoromo-kt5vn]

My friend: DarWin and the Warning...2 de las mejores Bandas del mundo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@paulrowe006]

A lot of their songs start with Pau on the piano and then the group develops it from there. For this album they wrote and recorded between tours and worked with other writers but song concepts started with the band.

[@MinimumGnome]

I'm always here for the analysis.

[@The3dikson]

Girls who enjoy what they do on stage and transmit it to all their fans, they are simply great at it and for me it is their personal seal.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

Very happy seeing The Warning back on your channel! Awesome reaction as always!

[@LostHate]

Great analysis of a great song.

[@gregoryvlchek269]

FUN FACT: All three ladies began their journey as musicians playing classical piano. I believe that's why they as songwriters have an advanced (subconcious?) sense and understanding of complex melodic and harmonic movement, and a broader pallet from which to draw when writing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/epeYgYivoZxjgZosi=c6BNWLvfN1yCq0qX kzbin.info/www/bejne/nmrNnIaIZa6khNUsi=8CQA7QN4HEr3qQSz Both Dany and Ale' (Guitarist and Bassist) play saxophone as well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z6ClnoB9msR-eJosi=upHN7t-IWU8F88C1

Great Reaction. Please React to Automatic Sun at Tecate Pa'l Norte or MTV Push. Then Six Feet Deep OMV or Live At Wacken festival... Many great songs to choose from By The Warning 🔥 🔥 🔥

[@lauriep2018]

If you like different time signatures, you should listen to Evolve live from MTV VMA’ s last year. They go between 4/4 and 7/8 and it’s really funky and hard. Plus, they sure did turn a crowd with only a few fans into the entire audience bopping along with them!

[@batallasdeshorts4149]

Excelente analisis, eres un excelente músico y un buen comunicador. Siempre he mencionado que no se necesitan demasiados juegos armonicos, sólo los necesarios, ese prestamo modal en el puente es más que suficiente para cambiar el ambiente y dar el el contexto al build up que se está elaborando. Realmente su música es simple, sí, pero no es sencilla, y creo que esa es su gracia.

[@olemadsen2113]

Normally, Pau would be singing major backing vocals - she was ill this particular evening as I understand, so probably relied more on backing tracks.

Need to check out their Enter Sandman cover

[@KansaSCaymanS]

I’m not sure that Dany uses the expression pedal on her Kemper for tuning changes, since she frequently switches out guitars with different tunings during a set. I think she primarily uses the pedal for octave shift. She programs different distortions and effects (like delay and octave shift) sent through a second channel to fatten the sound for each song, and depending on whether she is playing a verse, chorus, or solo. Thanks for the interesting breakdown. 👍😎

[@RickSand-g1w]

Watch her gear video and you will know more as she explains her uses and I think you will OHYEAAAH I know, wow Impressed by your musical knowledge, yes they have two loyal engineers one is Lalo and the other one is their dad both music engineers (sound Engineers), so perfection is a must, from what I know the dad spends and acquires the best equipment for the band to sound great live

[@thelandshark8103]

They were fantastic in Dublin last month, I hope you got to see them.

[@paisa20]

Thanks

[@keenian6164]

😍 What a BANGER!

[@rexwave4624]

Pau's timing is crazy. Like the wizard, her kick and sticks arrive precisely when she intends. The pocket is huge. And yes, the bass is very loud and stitched into the drums. Again, Ale's timing is when she wants it. Standing in front of the band, it's 110dBA+.

[@jimlaheta8864]

Thanks for the in-depth examination of The Warning's Hell You Call A Dream - I liked it so much that I've subscribed. I really like it when you show how the girls will have little surprises in their songs.

[@alfonsogutierrez1392]

They just released a video of this song with vevo, great sound. They had two great live recordings that got pulled from KZbin, one at wacken, the other one at pol and rock

[@tay13666]

If you really want to have some fun, check out their song Automatic Sun. Dany uses a baritone strat tuned to drop A Ale also has her bass tuned to drop A to go with it. The official video is live footage with studio audio. If you want to hear live I would suggest the MTV Push video of them playing live in studio. They also did the song live on Jimmy Kimmel, but that mix is pretty crap. Drums are thin, backing vocals are really low and the bass is almost absent. It's like all the show cared about was guitar and lead vocals.

[@donnyyanavich4720]

These girls are great''

[@thontor]

I'd love to see your analysis of their song "Evolve" the performance of that song at the 2023 MTV VMAs is the one to see.

[@MaddogJones]

Dany does use a Kemper pedalboard. She also uses a couple baritone Fenders for a couple songs off their new album. You check out her "Ger" video with Digital tour bus. All three sisters produced a "gear" video, they are quite informative.

[@markdicesare7936]

My favorite song and performance so far

[@TheDunadan01]

The ladies are big enough at this point to have a guitar tech and Dany goes through a half dozen guitars with different tunings and sounds every show. No need to tune between songs or use 'tricks' to down tune. As someone else said, this song was new when they performed it here so the backing track "ahhs" stand out. Now-a-days the crowd do the ahhs and the backing track takes a back seat. A very popular song off their newest album.

[@hardknox1917]

Your a talented musician . I prefer I tan ate breakdowns like yours j oh we a avg Joe reacting to a song .

[@cesarmarchant4712]

They do in fact use backing tracks and are not shy about admitting it they record everything and Paulina in the drums is in charge of the triggers it helps when they all play piano some saxophone and all 3 ladies are lead quality vocalists they also play to a click track

[@matshovelkicker6716]

Hi ! You could try to react to "Sharks", which may be my favourite "Keep Me Fed" track. ;)

[@HDaudio_Travel8104]

I recommend six feet deep from the warning it’s a great song

[@ottokirk2325]

The majority of fans think they sound huge for a trio. Rarely can you hear them as a trio. Watching their latest "acoustic" live set ppl could get an idea of what parts are missing. For stage, Dani can also do a lot of doubling and cabs with stereo Kemper programmed settings as you know. You'll find Queen of the Murder Scene song and album more interesting, as there are many key changes and Dani singing over intricate riff-age. Again, not much for guitar solos, of course.

[@tay13666]

You are not wrong about QOTMS. So many key changes. So many riffs that in no way match the vocals.

[@ottokirk2325]

@@tay13666 Very impressive that all the sisters are strong in singing melodies over their playing. Dany can sing and start soloing simultaneously! Classical counter point piano technique must have wired their brains for this multi tasking.

[@lonelywind3511]

Yes to a Kemper. If you are interested the channel Digital Tour Bus has a Gear Masters series. All three did an episode. EP 471, 473 and 475 are theirs.

I saw a joke recently - I don’t know why Ale plays a 5 string on KMF, she only uses the lowest two.

[@coffeeninja8128]

They made this joke 25 years ago about Fieldy from KORN....

[@PhilAndrews-m8l]

Didn’t know that.

[@CraigCholar]

During the live performances of HYCAD it would be interesting if Dany played a four-note riff to replace the "oh-ohhhhh-oh-ohhh" vocal backing track. To me those vocals sound out of place live.

[@SBRemotes]

Actually a drop A baritone guitar.

[@Qyngali]

You been on vacation mate? :) I'm sure you already know that Jinjer released a new song so I wont tell you. Oh wait... I love the drummer here, she's so... bubbly.
