I would like to thank Krash66 for the link to Dany's Rig Rundown! Well done Krash!

[@Divedown_25]

Good to see that you've fixed your lights on yourself. You're a good reactor and knowledgable about music,

[@krash66]

I appreciate the shout out! I have some more surprises for you! Here is Pau's rig rundown, very shortly after she got her new DW cage Kit in 2020: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6rVqmiAZqlom8Usi=aSAQzWi7gHPTdB4T Here is Ale's Rig rundown, from when she still used a 4 string bass: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3XOaZ17gtdjn7ssi=Xzj0TfwpF0g2V_Mh Here is Ale receiving her gorgeous USA Custom 5-string Spector Bass: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oqKZomionqyXmKcsi=pVxJOJzKagddzb2C Funny that you mentioned using a Line 6, Dany used to use a Line 6 Helix pedalboard before her current setup! Rock On, My Friend!!

[@krash66]

Here is another short video of Ale showing off her Bass on the Official Spector channel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZiwiWylhayfn5Isi=y2FGI7b9ieR3JlLg

Hey, if you want to hear what Dany can do on the fly, check out Dany Surprise on their channel. They were on tour with another power trio, Eruca Sativa. At about 2:18 the lead guitarist gives Dany her guitar and Dany just rips it up.

[@professorg9424]

Dany's a rock monster on stage and a sweet, humble, and somewhat goofy young woman off stage. You said it at the same time I began to type: "Dany's a sweetheart."

[@ronaldmorgan7632]

Any rocker with a pulse should love that song. That's the kind of thing we strived for in our garage bands, and, since that song was from 2018, that means that these three kids 18,16,13 surpassed anything I ever did. I'm guessing that they'll own the rock world before Dany's the ripe old age of thirty. Sigh...

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Lol! I'm right there with you my brother in rock!

[@roywall8169]

Love Dull Knives! What a masterpiece it is.

[@kevinthetruckdriver353]

*Metropolitan Fun Facts:* Usually Dany starts playing the first note of *Dull Knives.* The crowd cheers. Then she'll point at a section. Plays the same note. They cheer. Then does that a few more times with different sections. Then the band starts up. At this show (was cut from the official video but not on the fan cam videos), Dany started to play the note. Then stopped. Called for her guitar tech. He took the guitar in the back. After about 3 to 4 minutes. Guitar tech fixed the problem. The band jumped right into Dull Kniives. It used to be. If there was no technical difficulty at a Waarning concert. You were lucky. Mostly every show there was some type of a technical difficulty that would happen. Today, they are a well oiled machine. Kinda miss those fun days.

[@jeffreyjameson5510]

I enjoyed your comments and explanations of the things she says that any of us who don’t play don’t understand. It’s cool that you are an old rocker and I can see you living vicariously through these young ladies. I have no doubt she would love sitting down and talking guitar with you and jamming a little. Because of how they were raised, they have nothing but respect for those that rocked before them.

[@Robertsmith-dy3sh]

Dull Knives is such a banger! Straight ahead Hard Rock delivered as only The Warning can! Also, what is not to love about Dany, talented, kind, goofy and she's a gear nerd!

[@carlosportillo2781]

She is a sweetheart!!! She was so kind during the met and greet I went (all of them were)

[@IAMisLove]

👍👍👍3 rocking ladies!!! 🖖❤

[@blaineoshaughnessy685]

This is a great song. It’s been awesome since 2018. ❤️✌🏻😎

[@mrh3578]

This song just kicks ass. Love the bass line in this. Ale just kills this. Dany's singing is masterful with Pau's backup vocals and amazing drums.

[@iiwdpn]

loved it. her previous pedal board was a helix line 6.

[@bjwnashe5589]

Dani and her sisters are such cool people. Very impressed with their intelligence.

[@josevillasenor9222]

I like your reaction to the Warning my favorite rock band ever DPA 4ever ❤❤❤

[@TerryParsons1724]

The ladies kill it here the end is so epic. Pau just destroys those fills and DPA jam and melt faces all over that theater. I knew you'd enjoy the rig rundown thanks for including it RC. 🤘⚡🔥 edit FYI They have Ale and Pau rig rundowns coming up soon I saw that in the comments from this video. There's a 2-3 minute video of Ale doing a Muse bassline for Hysteria from a few tears ago that's pretty dope blew me away. 🔥⚡

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thanks for watching!

[@pablosartor6715]

These sisters are overwhelmingly talented!! Dany is a total guitar nerd! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@jimlaheta8864]

Really great reaction - I like it when you comment on how The Warning gets their sound and all the things they are doing that the casual fan may not pick up on! Rock ON!!!

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you!

[@dreamcruzer4743]

Your commentary with the rig rundown was awesome.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you for watching!

[@richardmartinez2969]

Gear Masters said that they had a bass rundown with Ale, and a drum rundown with Pau coming soon. So, keep an eye out for that.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Will do! Thanks!

[@bjwnashe5589]

I think The Warning's version of "Enter Sandman" live at Teatro Metropolitan is their finest achievement so far. It is a superb piece of music.

[@TFT-JF]

So glad you did both of these. You also get a feel for Dany herself, which you can also do by watching Dany Day videos. Keep on rocking!

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you!

[@iamkerok]

Loved it!

[@gatekeeperTWA]

gr8 reaction sir... and i loved that you included dany's rig rundown, she absolutely kept it informational, given the time, dany would talk your ear off for hours about the why and whats of her gear ... i heard rumor that digital tour bus will be releasing vids for ale and pau as well, you may want to wait for those... there are older rig rundowns for all 3 as well ... dull knives is one of my favs as well! ... r0ck 0n ... twa ... \m/

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Glad you enjoyed! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@bjwnashe5589]

Pau's rundown is intense, because she's running Ableton on the laptop next to her drum kit.

[@Sly.L]

She didn't go into that particular detail in this video, but in previous rig videos she's done, Dany has said that she likes to have a very slight delay of about 10ms between the right and left channels going out to the PAs to help fill out her sound. She also usually puts slightly different effects on them to go even further to help create that huge sound that they have. Dany is a total guitar and tech nerd (and I mean that in the best way possible) and she loves to do those things and puts a great deal of time and effort into her sound. Also, the picks she uses, those are also (or at least something really similar) the picks Ale uses. Ale has complained before that Dany would come in and steal all her picks from her because she kept losing them 😂

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

LOL! It really did remind me of a Bass pick! I gathered she seriously thought out her sound when she said she used a Harmonizer as well. That's good info! Thank you vey much!

[@d4anzig]

I remember in a vlog ale said that dany uses her picks and makes them Dull and dany quipped back "dont you know that dull picks play better" omg i almost died ...

[@Scott_Diverscott]

@@d4anzigI think she was confusing picks with knives 🤣

[@jafquist27]

I'm really enjoying your content. Reactor after reactor are being turned on to The Warning, but some, that'd be you, stand out, for their knowledge, presentation, and general care about what they are doing. The Warning is my favorite band of all time, and I anxiously await the day they become a household name. A friend in TWA, If I could be so bold as to call him that, dubbed "Dull Knives", "The Mona Lisa of rock songs". I agree. It's got what a heavy rock song should have. Some would argue a solo is needed, but not all songs call for that.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

I agree. Solo's are great when called for but there are many Rock bands that rarely use them. "The Mona Lisa of Rock Songs".....awesome!

[@ripmcmanus773]

Always enjoy your reactions to the music, and Dull Knives is one of my faves, too. But I really perked up when you shared your insights on the equipment. Fascinating! I never played guitar, but was a brass player and this brought back memories of sharing thoughts with my fellow players about things like mouthpiece brands, materials, shapes, sizes, etc. Rock on!

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

It's a great way to relive one's glory days! LOL! Thanks for watching!

[@deanchong9009]

Excellent job of Ale with the bass!!.. The bridges and tempo of Pau on drums is very cool and the guitar's distorsion filling the song along is very good

[@user-rc8xj4vs2e]

Love this reaction. Thank you for showing and explaining Dany's rig. That was way cool! It would be great to see more of this.😆

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

More to come!

[@Sparky003]

The Tidal Rising Documentary is required viewing for all The Warning fans. It’s only 20 min and you really get to know the girls better. They go into the history of the band and all the albums. Very informative and entertaining.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

I will watch it! Thanks!

[@legslark]

Thanks for the explanation of Dany’s rig rundown for those of us who are not musicians and need tutoring! I noticed that Dany had a new blue PRS, and Ale had a new blue Spector during their recent tour thru Mexico. Hopefully they will be included in future rig rundowns!!😊⚡️

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Awesome! My favorite color!

[@mjc1389]

I don’t think the blue PRS is new? I thought she got it around or at the same time as her red PRS.

[@awadoma2702]

Blue PRS is not new, she has been playing it for over a year. She has at least 4 PRS's that i know about Red, Blue, Black, she has used all of them on stage for over a year, the 4th is a honey/brow that she keeps at home and has never used on the road. She also has used a few others on Music videos such as a yellow one on Evolve, not sure if she kept those or were just loaners for the video. All the PRS she has are similar so she is not going to do rig rundowns on the diff colours, one will do.. last count a few years ago she had 10-15 guitars at home

[@lootier3203]

Yeah, what a rocking song! I never saw Dany's tech video before, but that was cool too. Tnx Mr. Rock Candyman!

[@ez68eldo]

That was awesome. Another like for a fellow AARP member who loves The Warning.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Love it!

[@mechtime]

Loved your real-world musician experience analysis.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you for watching!

[@danszczesny4405]

So good! Ale's base is an absolute freight train in this recording! Might I suggest for your own edification to take a look at them doing Dull Knives in the Warning Cave from a couple years ago. If I'm not mistaken, that was the performance that Lzzy Hail saw and invited them to open for her.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

I will do it!

[@clawsteph]

​@@RockCandy-ix3nnYeayyyy! Can't wait! My fave version of Dull Knives ✌️🤘

!!!The Warning = 10 😀¡¡¡ Greetings from Argentina

[@MrJest2]

You are both total guitar nerds!! I love it! 🤘😁🤘 A comment I read somewhere (presumably here in KZbin) put it quite well: I'm paraphrasing here, but the essence was "Most bands try to replicate their live sound so it is like their recorded sound. _The Warning_ does exactly the opposite." I think that's a perfect description of how this band operates, and is part of "the secret to their success". They are *genuine* , whether it is live or in the studio. That's not nearly as common as one might imagine.

[@johnhawkins_twa]

Absolutely love this song, especially the bass. I think its become my favorite TW song....well... along with Martirio, and QOTMS, and Evolve, and Dust to Dust, and Narcisista, and XXI Century Blood, and...

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

LOL!

[@MrSudeepdas]

Point to note about Teatro is that The Warning mixed songs from their earlier albums while promoting their latest one, Error. Dull Knives is the 8th song from their concept album Queen of the Murder Scene, which is their 2nd LP, published in 2018 when they were 18, 16 & 13!!! Unthinkable that a band has the guts to publish a concept album in their 2nd venture. Queen of the Murder Scene is about unrequited love of a young woman who goes through various emotional phases on the verge of lunacy. IMO the dark metaphorical poetry penned by Pau is 2nd only to Roger Waters musing over death, lunacy & despair in The Dark Side of the Moon some 50 years back from now. In Dull Knives the protagonist considers suicide when she realizes that she is losing control of everything. That's why Dany begins with "The rush that's in my veins, I can't control it Tell me why This voice that's in my head is getting stronger Tell me how The aching in my bones is taking over Tell me why My blood ain't spilling red I'm freaking out!" We know that sharp knives cut better. Why dull? Because the poet, in this case Pau, wants it to be a messy affair. A sharp knife will cut clean but not a blunt one. Next comes the use of the word "dull". In English "blunt" is the adjective used to describe a knife that is not sharp. But Pau used dull to make us think & relate to bluntness of a knife. Intellectualism at its best!!! And then she goes on to write - "I am plucking roses but keeping the thorns". We have come across numerous references to thorns in a bunch of roses in literature. But seldom had any poet said that she preferred to keep the thorns as a prickly reminder of her misery & desperation. How dark is that poetry!!! How dark is Pau's mindspace!!!

[@rexwave4624]

I've read that people who cut themselves prefer dull knives because they are more painful. It's a dark, sad world of desperation.

[@el34superlead]

The Kemper is a profiler. You actually make a profile (capture) of an amp(s) and cabinet. It's like having the actual amp sounds in the board. She then sends that out to front of house. The Line 6 comes with amps, cabinets, mics and effect simulations. Dany use to use a Line 6 Helix.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thanks! I kinda gathered the Kemper was different when she said it cloned the studio amp sound but it's nice to have it confirmed.

[@rogerreed905]

Great reactions . . Great levels i can hear you . . Awesome . . Danys equipment run down is awesome . . .hi from NZ . . . Take care . . 🍻

Wonderful video RC....first off absolutely Love Dull Knives....just a rocking song and yes their music is so so tight, it is amazing what they produce. Secondly, Dany is an absolute sweetheart as they all are. Loved the rundown and your comments on it as well....I learned a lot. Cheers until next one. ⚡⚡⚡⚡🤘🤘

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thanks!

[@SO.CAL-D.Edwards]

Love that song, wish it was longer.. the rig rundown was awesome.. I use the same 10-46 strings on my PRS Mira they cover all the bases for me.. great reaction 🤟🎶☮️

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Rock on!

[@mjc1389]

I completely second the idea of watching Dany’s gear rundown video when she was using the Helix Line 6 as well. Dany gets much more in-depth on how she sets up the signal chain for each part of a particular song? What exactly is the difference between a Helix Line 6 and the Kemper profiler in layman’s terms? There’s still a lot of TW fans that think Pau “programs”Dany’s equipment from her laptop for each song. Pau also has a masterclass on KZbin with English subtitles that explains a bit about the Ableton software and she even lets the audience hear the click track and everything else she hears in her InEarz.

[@ericdarlington2332]

Hell Yeah ! enough said ;)

[@MTH58]

Nice review. Keep an eye out for gear reviews of Ale and Pau. I commented on Dany’s video that Digital Tour Bus should do them too. They responded with “ Those videos are coming”

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thanks for the info!

[@wjones1499]

Enjoyed that reaction to Dull Knives! Especially liked your perspective as a guitarist in your own power trio. Dany is such a guitar nerd. She knows the sound she wants and she absolutely gets it from her gear and technique. As soon as she cranks that volume knob to begin songs in live shows, that PRS produces a wall of sound that's killer. As far as the string gauges, I always played lighter strings - either 9 or 9.5 to 42 usually. When I heard Dany used 10 to 46 Daddario NYXL, I actually tried them myself. They seemed to have a thicker sound, but now I'm convinced it was just psychological on my part. I watched a video from Rick Beato's channel where he compared string gauges in his studio using sound meters and concluded that thicker strings don't really sound thicker. :) I only kept them on my guitar for a few months and went back to 9 gauge because the 10 gauge are so much harder for me to play and bend. Thanks for sharing the rig rundown!

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

I saw the same video. I used 10 gauge when in the Trio's so I could "Hammer" the strings. I have more reluctance to do that on a lighter gauge. lol Hence, many of us believe the heavier gauge "lends itself" to a "Thicker" sound. Make sense?

Great reaction RC. I Really like how you explain things and add flavor from your own experiences as a musician. Really like the recap on Danny's Gear! Like her comment on the "battle scar" on her Gipson guitar.

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Cool, thanks! Yes, lol. I got a kick out of that. It's like being given a brand new car and then scraping the side of the garage on the way to park it. I feel her pain.

[@justjulie37]

❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertkrawitz8237]

IMO a power trio is to rock what a piano trio or string quartet is to chamber music -- the most basic form, where there's no room for any kind of weak link. A lot of people, including their father, complained that this song is too short. So they tried adding some things, decided that all of them made the song worse, and announced that if people want it to be longer than they should play it on repeat, which legions of The Warning Army have taken to heart. I've seen (available to patreons) what happened when somebody tried to foist more elements onto the song. It made it sound like a formulaic hard rock song, which in my view trivialized the song within the storyline of the album. They said no. Another famous performance of this song, in The Warning Cave, is also worthy of watching even though you won't have any interest in reviewing it. They performed it for (De)Tour, a virtual concert to raise money for struggling venues during the pandemic (it was repeated at the show by popular demand, the only song to be replayed). When Lzzy Hale saw it, she immediately said that she wanted to take them on tour, which took about 18 months to arrange, but they did. For their part, DPA are huge fans of Halestorm and were a bit blown away. For her part, Lzzy finds them to be inspiring, to the point where she presented Dany with a brand new guitar, on stage (there are plenty of videos of that).

[@mjeffn2]

It makes me happy to hear The Warning growing and catching on after years and years of over tech’d, over produced, and overly sentimental garbage that is at the top of the charts today.

[@reactionsaccount3955]

I may be wrong, but I am pretty sure that Dany meant to say that she uses a 3mm thick BASS pick, not a jazz one. Dany used to have a Line 6 Helix LT and has a video where she explains how she setup all the profiles, if you would be interested to react to it. She just switched to the Kemper and added the studio profile from their latest album. The Warning: Dany's Line 6 Helix LT pedalboard kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5Xdi3uCaJeSf7s

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Thank you very much! As I said to another here, It really reminded me of a Bass pick. However, I remember the thick polished stone guitar picks from the '80's and assumed it was from that family.

[@spaceknave]

Yes I think she meant Bass pick. I have a few jazz picks and they're generally smaller and pointier and I'm not a big fan.

[@RandyTWA]

I would watch Dany read the phone book…English or Spanish!

[@nichep1]

Next legit super group.

[@spaceknave]

Two new episodes of Digital Tourbus are coming soon with both Pau and Ale. They haven't been released yet and It sounds like this was taped about 6 months ago and I imagine the other two were recorded at the same time.. I see Krash66 gave you a couple links there too. They've done a number of these things over the years and they are always fascinating. Thanks.

[@salsaucedo]

I seriously thought you were going to check out the entire album Queen of the Murder Scene (a Concept album) one song at a time. It's okay anyway it is The Warning awesome job as always

According to Ian Paice, playing with a click can be more difficult, but he had to learn it because that's how music is recorded these days.

Yes, I got tired of the heavier sets pretty early on. Once I started playing more lead fills it just got frustrating. I read somewhere that Gibbons uses 7's on occasion so I thought it safe to drop to 9's. lol

[@Scott_Diverscott]

Awesome reaction. Dumb question for you: Do they make volume knobs with a detent in them, so you’d have to put more pressure into it to move it to the next click? (might help with not turning down the volume with your pinky, if they have them)

[@RockCandy-ix3nn]

Not a dumb question at all. There might be something like that available but in truth most guitarists are constantly playing with the volume knob at one point or another so it might not be something in big demand. Certainly not when I played years ago. Many knobs have a push/pull feature that puts the pickup it's controlling "out of phase" for a different sound. But I suppose that feature could be used instead to "lock" the volume knob in place. Maybe someone could invent that? lol. I know more than a few guitarists who experience what I do with Fender placement of the knobs.

[@Scott_Diverscott]

@@RockCandy-ix3nn LOL - so.. I got interested, because it seemed like something that a lot of people would experience, yet it's still a problem. So, I did a KZbin search. Apparently, a decent trick is to get rubber washers from the hardware store, remove the knob, put a washer underneath it and re-install the knob. The pressure from the compressed washer keeps the knob from spinning, when you hit it with your fingers. Who knows - maybe you can play without a problem, now :-) (Here's a link: kzbin.info/www/bejne/d3bch5-kqdiGfc0)
