POUND LIKE for more from The Warning! Thanks for watching!

[@darincampbell5440]

We really need to get The Warning & BAND-MAID together on the same stage together! It would be epic.

Thanks, WP. I really appreciate your technical expertise

[@roywall8169]

On the studio version, Dany is singing all the vocal parts in the song. As you can see, Pau provides most of the backing vocals live (Ale does sing the one line).

[@abjbusti8586]

Really enjoyed your reaction especially with all your knowledgeable observations. Love The Warning and looking forward to more of your reactions to this great band. 🤘😎🤘❤️

[@pablosartor6715]

Great reaction! These sisters are overwhelmingly talented and will become rock legends!! FYI on november 10 they will open for Foo Fighters at Foro Sol in Mexico City. Amazing! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

[@ferossan]

Great analysis. Thanks!

[@RobertLindabury]

Superb analysis reaction. So great when a musician reacts. Love it and loved the comparisons between the three versions. Looking forward to your next!

[@saltyshowers9356]

Informative & entertaining. Great job!

[@gill2105]

That was really cool going through all 3, you make some good observations and since you're a multi musician that plays well to your insights to the band for sure. The Warning def Rock.

[@krash66]

Dany is actually using the tiny Orange on top of the Mesa Boogie. The Mesa may be for boost, but Dany travels and does gigs with that baby Orange. BTW, Dany did not have her PRS yet when this was recorded in the studio. But, she did have probably 20 guitars to choose from in the studio. So, maybe when the album is released we can finally know what guitars she used on each song.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

I'm wondering what she's going to be using live. Every performance they've done since she got it she's used the PRS. She used to trade off between the two Rick Toone Spearfishes and the Manson, but (other than of course acoustic) she really seems to like that PRS. Will she be using it on older material that she originally played on different guitars?

[@kfh1]

@@robertkrawitz8237 Yeah, the PRS seems to her new favorite for sure! Her first Spearfish seems to have disappeared.

[@tomcruise8603]

Thanks for the triple reaction really enjoyed watching all three in one I’ll be watching out for your next Warning reaction cheers

[@roywall8169]

The band hired a full time sound engineer before the pandemic. Not sure if he is still part of the team or not. That first live performance was from their home studio, where as this one was filmed at a recording studio.

[@anthonyfisher1670]

I enjoyed your break down and anaysis. Three superstars no doubt .

[@roywall8169]

Cool. Thanks for putting in the time to do all three performances. 🤘🏻❤️

[@robertkrawitz8237]

Top flight review, and I really like the comparison aspect. Some notes: 1) The big fill by Pau at the start of the second chorus is my favorite such by her, hands down. It's not only terrific to listen to, it's a visual treat as well. There's something majestic about what she's doing; she looks fully in command, not just in the sense of having it down, but really of commanding the drums like a military officer. And you probably noticed in the most recent one that she was singing her harmonies perfectly in time and with spot on intonation while executing the fill, with a completely different rhythm than the vocals. You were spot on with it becoming an iconic fill. 2) Ale! Ale! Seeing Ale singing lead is a bit of a holy grail among The Warning fans, because she seldom does. Dany sang it on the recording, but Ale seems to sing it live, I believe I heard because Dany can't change her vocal register that quickly. Regardless, she has a Stevie Nicks like huskiness in her deep register, and a lot more fullness in her vocal tone with some vibrato added in the recent recording, more so than in the Cave. 3) When Ale gets more comfortable singing extended leads, think about what they can do with three powerful lead singers. I can't think of a lot of bands with three strong lead singers (yes, all four of the Beatles sang, but George and Ringo were just spot singers). Dany's developing into a top tier rock diva with range and power that she hasn't shown before, Pau has more of a husky high voice that makes for interesting duets when she trades off with Dany, and Ale sounds like she's developing a low alto range, and if she can develop more power there, watch out. 4) This was done in one of the top studios in Mexico (or at least Monterrey), Victoria Records. So they really could do a lot there. But recording them live and doing other work in post really seems to suit them; as you said, they play off each other and their sister bond really shows. They're always spot on, and if you go back to Enter Sandman and We're Not Gonna Take it, you won't notice it simply because it's errors that you spot and there aren't any of note. Dany mentioned recently that she's taking an online course in music production that Alan Parsons offers. Even if she isn't producing their recordings, understanding how the process works will only benefit them. It speaks to their professionalism. They're not simply prodigiously talented youngsters having fun. They're full on professionals dedicated to their craft, who understand the importance of detail and that it's essential to always uplevel their skills. 5) The most recent one is IMO much better than the original, which of course was recorded late last year and mixed over the winter. Some of that is probably improvement in their skills and some is probably playing live, but I don't think that that's all of it. However, there's one thing I really like about the Cave version (both, actually -- there's also a recording they did for their patreon supporters earlier in the day than the public Cave version), and that's the tremendous dynamics in the bass and drums. I have reasonably good mains (B&W 603 S2), a solid Marantz AVR, but also a Hsu Research ULS-15 sub for which 30 Hz is nothing. The Cave version isn't as strong of a mix overall, but it's really something to feel the drum hits and low notes on the bass. I think that both of the studio versions compress a lot of that out. Over my computer speakers, even with a respectable sub as such go, that effect is of course lost, but I really like hearing the drums and bass practically live.

[@robertor4531]

Very good comments.

[@pissingelk]

@@robertor4531 Ale's vocals are not as strong as Dany's. So does an ok job in the most recent live version but the song suffers here. Dany's combined low and high parts, with the high register pushed in the background and echo effects are magic. Just having Ale sing is a disservice to her and to the song. I realize that Dany can't sing this part, not because she can't change into the lower register fast enough but because what she sings right before that part carries into that section of the song. It's accomplished in the studio version because those parts are overdubbed and Dany can do all those parts easily. Hopefully they will pump in Dany's high register background vocal for concerts similar to the P.S.Y.C.H.O.T.I.C. scream (also do the same for the Evolve scream!) so that this part which is epic in the studio will be as strong in concert. Also, Ale does not want to do lead vocals. How any times does she have to say that? Respect her wishes already. Thank you. 😎

[@robertkrawitz8237]

@@pissingelk Point taken about Ale's having expressed a desire not to sing lead, especially since I've noted the same thing. Mea culpa on that. That said, I do like her voice, and it is unique within the band and adds something of interest.

[@Ron898]

Agee with your comments except about George. He was not just a spot singer. He was an integral part of the the Beatles harmonies and towards the end of the Beatles he was a great lead singer.

[@cheneyrobert]

I love the new live version 🔥🔥🔥🔥this band is on fire 🔥 gotta see them live 😎🥂

[@professorg9424]

I started with the live stream and had to leave. 😢 Love what you're doing playing several versions of the same song and I look forward to even more reactions to The Warning!

[@scottlafleur4148]

Wave, you have a way of picking apart a song and telling us the details you hear. I've seen other reactors do this but the difference between them and you is you still enjoy the music. Which sometimes with others I'm like " but did you enjoy the song?" Great job.👍

[@4thArmoredVet]

Agreed! He knows what he’s talking about

[@AchimE]

The new live version has such a crispy sound, especially the bass sounds awesome! You‘re absolutely correct about the mix! Again, a nice review, not just a reaction! Thanks! If you like this slower rock sound, compared to Evolve, you will be amazed by their coming Spanish song Martirio… well, I only know it live, but it will be awesome! Greetings from Germany 👍⚡️🤘

[@artefakto.9yearsago301]

Great video reaction. Does not matter if you paused it a few times to listen to other versions, that was very cool and shows you were really interested. Thanks.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

Yup. Nothing at all wrong with pauses to add information. That's what a review or analysis properly should be.

[@glengibbs1949]

That was fun! Thanks!

[@jafquist27]

At about 24:20 you touched on the thing that makes Dany so spectacular to me... She can sing while playing a lead part! Who does that?! I've been playing and singing for decades and, as soon as I attempt to stray from the rhythm, it gets ugly. I can't even fathom that. Many go ga ga over Pau's singing while drumming, which is no small feat, I'm sure, but I propound singing while playing lead is an equally superhuman achievement.

[@TimberWolf762]

You should go through The Warning's 2nd album, Queen of the Murder Scene, which tells the story of a girl who goes from love to obsession, stalking, murder, and madness. Dust to Dust is the intro, then Crimson Queen.

[@kfh1]

Great Reaction Mr. Potter! Fun Fact, just so you know, Dany started out with a slightly larger version of the white metal cased Orange Amp head unit similar to your little beauty. You can see it in their early videos such as the ones at their school, LICEO, or early Cave videos.

[@WavePotter]

Oh that’s awesome! I gotta try to find that. I’m guessing it’s the Tiny Terror, whereas mine is the Micro Terror. But I’ve really been wanting to check out more of their early stuff. Thank you for sharing!

[@MaddogJones]

Dany is now a Signature PRS Artist, she is also sponsored by Manson Guitars (Matt Bellamy's company), Fender Guitars and a Rick Toone Artist. She and Ale are also sponsored by Orange Amplifiers.

[@robertkrawitz8237]

I wonder how that's going to work out with Manson and Rick Toone (she plays a Fender Acoustasonic, which is obviously something for a different purpose). Is she still going to play those? Because it looks like she really has gone for the PRS.

[@MaddogJones]

@@robertkrawitz8237 I think she plays whatever she's in love with at the moment. She hasn't played the Mason (Live anyway) in a very long time and her Sunburst Sprearfish hasn't been played live in ages as well. She has in the past kept separate guitars in different tunings to play during live events maybe now with their larger budget and a road crew she will have more guitars available on stage... Also I hope Ale doesn't retire her Rachel Bolan and brings it out on the road too.

[@professorg9424]

I'm still a big fan of that Manson. Her Lunario solos on that guitar were incredible.

[@Nas_Khan]

@@professorg9424 you are absolutely right Professor. She made that Manson cry and sounded so good in lunario especially in The End.

[@anthonyfisher1670]

Totally agree about the manson guitar it had a beautiful tone to it , like musical honey to my ears .

[@gizmotis]

my favorite Mexican all-sister power trio! it's a genre that I never knew existed until I heard them! if you've not checked it, dust to dust is an amazing song.

Thank you Phil! Glad you enjoyed it! And I'm definitely going to watch more Warning!

[@mrwolfe67]

Love your reaction and analysis!

[@farkenmayhem6951]

Dude loved your analysis. You clearly know what you're talking about unlike so many other "reactors". Really enjoyed your insights. Subbed! As for The Warning I couldn't agree more, they're bringing back "rock" which is a wonderful change from all the awful overly processed garbage out there. I've supported The Warning ever since their first album and I'm so impressed with all three sister's talent and growth over these years. This new album of theirs is going to be so good, their new sound is harder and more gritty than before. They deserve all the praise and accolades for what they've achieved so far.

[@WavePotter]

Thank you Farken! I’m happy to do anything I can to support a band that’s keeping rock alive and well!

[@juancarlosarzillier2256]

Best power trio in the world! Period!

Queens of Rock. My first time to see the lyrical version. The cave, nice.

[@fredhinckley8630]

The little solo that Ale sings in the live version is actually Dany in the studio version. When they sing live, Dany is just finishing when Ale comes in. It is not possible for the same person to do both live.

[@fotografo4295]

She's a PRS artist

[@DonKelleyMusic]

subbed because you have so many excellent musician-oriented comments on the warning

[@edwasintx]

Take a look at the floor for her Line6. She did a whole video of how she programmed it and can do multiple simultaneous feeds to board and house PA and add delay and many other effects in the chain. I like review(s) even with the stops, as you’re talking about the music, mixing and more that many folks do not. Rock On!

[@KansaSCaymanS]

Entertaining review! The audio on the “Cave” version isn’t the best because it was recorded from a livestream interview they were doing before they played the song, so it sounds kind of compressed (at least to me). The live studio version was obviously recorded in a professional recording studio in Monterrey. 👍😎

[@scottlafleur4148]

You are correct. That version is what was sent over the internet to Los Angeles where the interviewer was. Kind of compressed is an understatement.

[@roywall8169]

All three sisters sound so similar, it can be difficult to tell them apart even for long time fans.

[@awadoma2702]

Maybe for some fans... I've always found it so easy to tell them apart, They complement each other but easy to tell who is singing without visuals

[@DaveRod76]

That sounded like a Bandmaid ending?!?! Blasphemy! Sacrilegious! LOL!

[@robertkrawitz8237]

@@eaglezone45 They did two live (one public, one Patreon-only) performances of Choke the day of release, three months ago.

[@markmauro3731]

To see a comparison of Pau's growth as a drummer, you should watch the 2017 TedX performance of Unmendable. She just destroys the drums in that performance, where as in Choke and Evolve, to me, she has developed a more polished technical style of drumming. Don't get me wrong, she still kills the drums, she just seems smoother now.

[@nukchuu1]

he has watched Survive from TedX already so ye #Unmendable is a great choice

[@anthonyfisher1670]

Or Pau drumming at their school concert at The Liceo , The Foo Fighters Everlong cover , an epic performance , even better than Taylor Hawkins , imo.

Thanks for the 3 in 1. It's a shame not to do the mv though. I hope you will watch it on your own. It's really good. I also enjoyed your knowledgeable commentary, although I will have to disagree with you on one point. I don't think the head is the part that does the processing. My head processes nothing.

[@Muddyposa]

Look! Look with your special eyes! 🤣

[@syrius1]

Probably someone has noted (or not) but check EARLY songs sung by Ann Wilson of the Rock band HEART and tell me if I’m wrong or do they have almost same vocal register?

[@p.gabrielguirao14]

Dios, qué buenas son!

[@frapiani]

I'd like to suggest u their whole previous album, Queen of the Murder scene. It's a psycological concept album divided by chapters and characters with many interpretations to the story. (I honestly suggest it live at Lunario, but even the studio version is fine). It's quite the experience.

[@WavePotter]

That sounds awesome! I definitely need to spend more time with The Warning!
