Brothers REACT to The Warning: TEDx January 2017 

Now you are officially conscripted into The Warning Army!

This specific concert was the tidal wave that caused many of us to surf our way into the ocean of sound and everything else that The Warning has given to us as we all became diehard fans and followers of these lovely ladies. ❤️👍🎵🎼🎶⚡️💥🔥

The thing that stands out to me about this performance is that their words were just as impressive as their music. This band is dripping in talent. ⚡⚡⚡

These phenomenal girls, even at such a young age, have already created some of the most beautiful moments in rock history. This event at the University of Nevada is among them..

I'm a simple man. I see TedX 2017, I click! My favorite performance from The Warning!

Pau displaying her early beast mode! That got me and many others who have admitted it. Of course they are all super talented and showing it. 🤩

The second song was written by a 15yr old Dany, as an assignment, when the girls were at a 6 week summer program at the Berklee School of Music in Boston. Dany was feeling very homesick, and the song, When I'm Alone, was the result. This video is how I accidentally 'found' The Warning. Any small, short, or LONG video of the girls will always give insight into the personalities of these talented young ladies. As great musicians, they are even greater "people". Humble, appreciative, loving, driven, the accolades are endless.

This presentation and, in particular, Survive performance, it's been the culprit for many TWA to fall into the rabbit hole.

Ale is the time keeper and the rock they lean on during the performances, because she's aware of everything going on. At 19:05, after Pau breaks her stick and gets a new one, Ale notices the lack of snare and looks over quickly to see what happened. All of this at age 10 or 11.

The second song (When I'm Alone) was written by 15yo Dany as a solo homework assignment when the girls attended a 2015 summer session of the Berklee School of Music at Boston. After 5 weeks away from home Dany was extremely homesick, and she spent most of her school days isolated from her sisters in classes filled with older, English-only speakers. The assignment was due the last week of classes, and Dany was stumped until this masterpiece poured out of her soul during the night before she had to present it. Also known as "Dany's Song" by the danbase.

This TedX appearance will make you fall in love with TW if nothing else has.

This is the performance that hooked me, and many others in The Warning Army, into this amazing band!

Yep, you’ve done it now. You’ll never forget this one. It’s clearly impossible to watch without becoming a lifelong fan of these young ladies. Their family time was filled with watching concerts on TV of all the classics, Queen, AC/DC, Pink Floyd, as well as more current bands like Muse. Their sound, I’m pretty sure, will always pull from a wide spectrum of current and past rock.

Alejandra taking care most of the speech, something special at that age.

They are so well spoken here that it's too easy to forget that the three of them at their ages were giving this entire presentation in their second language!

As you can see Pau has been singing while drumming for years . Since the early cover days from the cave . . . Its become part of who she is now . . . 🇳🇿🍻.

This is the first time . . "You Have Been Warned" was said in a public setting . . And now adopted byTWA and The Warning fans world wide . . A bit of a fun fact . . Your wisdom grows stronger Grasshoppers . . . Till the next time . Take care . Bye from NZ 🇳🇿🍻👍

The music industry wanted to turn them into inflatable dolls, as Canserbero said, but thanks to their bravery and talent they did not stop fighting, these girls are great

*Clarification:* What Dany was talking about *"other people"* were Disney record label & shows like American Idol & American Got Ttalent. These entities told the girls if you do pop instead of rock. We can guarantee you will play in front of 120,000 people. Then Pau came back with *"I don't care if we play in front of 12 people just as long as we play the music we want".* If I'm not mistaken. The band, who was managed by their father. Decided to hire a Manager after the released of their first album. They hired Rudy Joffery.

Speaking to an audience at that age is amazing to pull off now add into it a foreign country and not in your 1st language....Mind Blown....

Versions of the last two sings are both in the Teatro concert as well so you can see the performance evolution and also the way their earlier work still stands up.

My favorite moment of the whole version of this TEDx is when Pau starts speaking out of breath and the whole auditorium chuckles because they were all witness to the display of skill and raw energy on that drum kit. 😂❤ I also love how articulate and confident Ale is speaking on the stage. She has it in pocket even if she chooses not to show it off always. Dany really came into her own here. 16 (?) and already standing up as the older, experienced leader . This is a nostalgia fest for most of TWA who many by and large began their hard-follow of the band with this video. Great reaction guys, good choice. I LOVE THIS BAND !! ✌️💖🎼

They famously turned down offers from Disney, Simon Cowell and various record labels because they refused to let anybody change their music or image, so they went the indie route and were financially supported by their fanbase (TWA) using crowd-funding drives and Patreon. That support allowed their dad to become a full-time manager, and helped pay for album-related expenses. They really didn't become self-reliant until their 2022 tours (with 101 stops) because initially they were too young for a big tour, and then they couldn't tour because of the pandemic.

🤘⚠️🤘 Viva The Warning ⚠️

The last and only time I was ever blown away with talent that was totally different with sound, vocals, look and stage presence was The Beatles! These Three young ladies have it all. They have their own sound, they all sing, amazing talent, tremendous stage presence and connection, tremendous vocals, and are stunning to look at. Seems like every song you listen to is better than the other one and even the same one you listen to over and over, it gets better. The main ingredient for their recipe has been great family values. They are great young ladies with very modest ideals who don't cater to cussing, drugs, smoking and although 2 of them are old enough to drink, they prefer juice when they go out to party.

Fun Fact: Drumeo recently voted Pau 2023's rock drummer of the year. Well deserved and it shows how much they've matured since 2017.

These young ladies had no fear on stage even at this young age 👏

They are so inspiring, I'm Mexican 40+ and everytime I watch this presentation it warms my heart. Once you go through this TEDx gig you get utterly "Warned" and there's no turning back... there's no point to be cynical and as humans if we encounter "greatness", we just need to sit back and enjoy. On the first song is always a "damn that girl can drum!"

Hi. The album between XXI century blood and Error is Queen of the murder scene, which is a concept album, a novel. I recommend you see its presentation at Lunario in 2018, a year and a little more after this TedX. The interpretation of the album is incredible and it has very good sound and image, it is on their RU-vid channel. greetings Viva the warning! ⚡🤘⚡🤘⚡🤘

Later that year (Ale was still 12 years old) The Warning opened for Def Leppard in Mexico City. As Pau tells the story, Def Leppard's manager saw how young they were and thought that they were just going to pretend to play to a backing track, or something. After the show Def Leppard was so impressed that they invited them on to their next show in Guadalajara and came out to the stage to watch them.

A TWA favorite!

I’m glad you saw my comment about this performance! I started my journey with this band after seeing More and Evolve at the VMA’s and then clicked on this video. I was hooked halfway through the first song and have never rooted so hard for a band to succeed as this one. Led to tears of joy while watching them play Martirio to the sold out show at Teatro Metropolitan and I can’t speak Spanish😊 Speaking of tears Black Holes live at the Dakota Bar is a can’t miss experience!

⚡The Warning⚡ 🔥👸👸👸🔥 Rock🤘😎

My heart overflows with pride and joy each time I watch this video. There will be plenty of people who won't care for the music by these 3 sisters, but everyone needs to respect their commitment to their art.

Love your deep dives. More THE WARNING!!

Back when Ale was possibly the most extroverted of them all… Before the complexities and dangers of being a very young female celebrity who’s life is an open book on social media, and teenage growth made her seem almost self conscious 3 or 4 years later. And Pau is such a beast on drums, and Dany owns the rock star frontman role back then just as well as she does now!

Paulina the Hard hitting ⚡⚡⚡

Excellent my friends!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The concert at Lunario when they play the whole second album Queen of the Murder Scene in its entirety is a great concert if you want to check out the album. Note that the album is a concept album and has a story behind it. For The Warning to have written a whole concept album for their second album is truly outstanding and the album is a masterpiece. This reaction was great and keep it up.

I'm surprised that Pau didn't lift off that drummer's stool with that helicopter ponytail going round and round on the first song. BTW, I have all three albums and I find myself playing the first one through more than the other two albums. I love that first album. Oh, and don't forget their talks were in their second language.

Nice Reaction! They finally signed with Lava Records in late 2019 or early 2020. In the 6 part documentary Mayday In The Making, they said it took 7 months of negotiations before they signed with them. Then they went to the studio because of the pandemic and recorded the Error Album.

This performance had me hooked on them when I first saw it in 2020. The rabbit hole was deep and fun. The Warning is my favorite rock band today.

The Warning = Alejandra (Ale) 🎸🎤+ Paulina (Pau) 🥁🎤+ Daniela (Dany) 🎤🎸 Villarreal. Three talented Mexican sisters. !!!🎵ole ole ole oleeee Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡. Greetings from Argentina.

I love this presentation. It showed the band on their way to realizing their dreams. If you haven't seen the music video of the song, *21st Century Blood,* or their performances of the album from The Dakota Bar in 2018, they're worth watching. Of course, as they were promoting *21st Century Blood,* their first full crowd-funded album that came out in March of 2017, they were conceiving and writing their second - an epic double album, *Queen of the Murder Scene.* It would become a "rock novel," a story in four parts of three songs each, plus the opening prologue. QOTMS was their second crowd-funded album. Few record companies I know of would have touched that project. It was wildly ambitious, creative, dark, tragic, and brilliant. The modern "corporate record machine" just doesn't understand that. But The Warning pulled it off in spades! If you'll listen to it in its entirety, you'll understand its greatness. Their video of the November, 2018, Live at Lunario concert is the debut of the album. It's raw, dark, gritty, emotional, shocking, and amazing. Although they play better, later, the fact that they could manifest such a project AT ALL at such young ages is mind-blowing. It's the genius that results from hard work, great parenting, great management, and a huge group of fans and supporters who believe in them.

Their first album is amazing, so good.

For me and many others this was the moment we definitively fell down the rabbit hole. 😁 In this presentation you realize that these girls were born to rock! 🤘😎

The girls have stated their influence from Pink Floyd,Queen , Rush , which shows how their songs have a progressive element or a rock arena hooks , at the same time creating a heavy sound while being a 3 piece band.

They are just amazing…Can’t get enough of their live performances!

Their albums are XXI Century Blood, Queen Of The Murder Scene (Concept album), and Error. There is an earlier rrlease called Escape the mind that was, as Pau explains, were experiments not intended for public release but have excellent songs nonetheless as they were seeeking their own sound.

Psst. Hot tip: Freeze The Fall-Glitch. 16 year old guitarist/singer, 15 year old drummer and bassist, from Canada. This is their debut video single, dropped on February 1st, and it already has over 19,000 views and is getting play on 3 radio stations. They've been a band for a year and a half. The singer discovered The Warning at 12, and taught herself guitar by learning Dany's parts.

all three of these songs are off the 2017 album "XXI Century Blood", an album about how they see the world and things they want to change in it... i don't recall seeing anything from DPA/TW about what inspired *Unmendable* ... some of us think it had to do with their negotiations with numerous labels that they turned down... *When I'm Alone* is Dany's song written when they were at Berklee Music College in 2015... she wrote it while very homesick and needing a song to turn in for a class assignment... Pau and Ale joining with only their instruments is very fitting for the feelings the song is conveying... *Survive* is obviously about a relationship going/gone bad... some think of a boy/girl relationship but it could be about any relationship... especially a relationship where partyA is telling partyB that partyB won't make it without partyA in their lives... to me, this sounds very much like it was inspired from the failed negotiations with those labels "that wanted to change them for the wrong reasons"... i can see those label people trying to get them to sign by trying to scare them with words like that... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

Definitely check out their whole Lunario show from 2018, it is worth to make a whole video out of it or one video per song, mainly because it tells a story, after that you can jump right in to the Error era, they have a 6 part short doc called Mayday in the making, shot while recording Error, lots of insight in that one.

When I’m alone always hits home 🤘

Never tire of watching this performance. This was my introduction to The Warning 5 years ago, and I’ve been a fan ever since.

Welcome to The Warning Army. This performance is the one that got me recruited to this amazing sonic adventure. The charming sisters sound like a mix of Boston, early GooGooDolls with a kick of post pop and post grunge elements which make them sound unique and yet beautifully familiar. They came. They rocked. They conquered.

Yup. First, The Warning Live at the Dakota Bar showcases their entire XXI Century Blood album, with one or two from their first ever EP, Escape the Mind. Then, between XXI Century Blood, and Error, is the iconic Queen of the Murder Scene concept album. The story is masterfully told in concert live at The Lunario CDMX 2018.

Thanks for the reaction! Now on to their next album Queen Of The Murder Scene played “live” at Lunario CDMX, where they premiered it in 2018!! This a concept album consisting of 13 songs that tells a story of a young girl who goes from unrequited love, to murder, and eventually madness thru various steps before getting to the last song. A masterpiece considering their ages when written!!!🔥👏⚡️

this performance is simply beautiful

Don’t forget this is their second language.

The album in between XXI Century Blood and Error is Queen of the Murder Scene, a brilliant and epic Rock Novel Concept Album about a girl who becomes obsessed with someone leading to stalking kidnap and murder and her own journey into psychosis. Each song tells part of the story and I recommend watching the Lunario CDMX concert footage beginning with Dust to Dust which is the prologue. The story is told from within the perspective of the girls own mind so you are seeing things through her eyes and what she is feeling. Written when these girls were barely into their teens it is a masterpiece of rock, ballads, cheerleader punk and other genres mixed in. Listening to the album in track order is best although each song works well as a standalone, but to get the whole story it is best to follow it in order. Each song from the Lunario CDMX is available on The Warning youtube channel as a single video or you can watch the entire concert which has the whole album interspersed with songs from XXICB in between each chapter. You should also check out their original music video for their song XXI Century Blood it is amazing how clued up they are to the problems within their own generation.

One of those "people" was Disney. Another business person asked them, "Do you want to play for 12K people or 12?" To which Pau responded, "We'd rather play for 12 people and keep out integrity then play for you."

While I’m glad that Pau more efficient drumming these days will likely cause less wear and tear as she ages… I still kinda miss the old Muppets Animal / performative style. Whirling dervish behind the kit back then.

They still play When I’m Alone and Survive when they headline. That might change because the new album will becoming out soon, I hope.

Don’t forget that they did all that presentation with English as their second language. Queen of the Murder Scene, a concept album was their second. The concert at Lunario is the live showcase. I’m sure you’ll hear much more about this from the TWA. Really loving your videos.

My friends... The Warning "Atlas Rise" Metallica´s cover LIVE in Whisky a go go please

They were definitely years beyond their age then. Still are. Today's music from them is soo refined and pure. They never miss a beat. I hear the 80s and 90s A LOT in them. And you are correct in that they listened to a ton of classic rock which is what the family listened to. Then the video game Rock Band came along and gave them a taste and it was nothing but forward since then. I have heard some other modern rock bands and they are good but the classic sound these gals produce produce is AMAZING and for me, that is their hook. We had the family together for game night, including my ex and I had rock playing in the background. Then The Warning came on and within seconds I saw my ex's head pop up and she said "who is that?". She thought I found some great unknown band from our era. Even with the classic rock background, they have the uncanny ability of making it sound new and fresh and their writing is off the chain good. By the way, you mentioned about the record companies wanting them to have a hook all the time. imo each of their tracks has a hook.

So inspirational indeed. 👀💯🔥⚡️

The Warning - Full Concert Live at "Teatro Metropólitan" (CDMX), Guys here is the link to a 1 hour 45 minute concert from 2022 the fully grown women of the band The Warning did. This concert is filmed and professionally produced by music experts. Every single song is totally worth watching and listening to for your channels review and reaction. The band has now arrived as truly masters of their craft as musicians and vocalists. To do and sound as they did here live, is astounding proof they are the future of rock music. I look forward to your reactions and reviews of this concert, it will blow you away. PS really liked your video review of The Warning, thank you. Oops the link did not go through, but look it up, enjoy.

IMO this was his first top moment! Amazing performance.

There are several reasons to like this but my favorite reason is that Ale, at age 12, is just finding her stage presence.

There was a moment when they met with a record label a record exec asked Pau would you rather play for 12,000 people or 12? Pau told them 12 if it means changing themselves.

17:15 And to all that I would add: «And they're doing it in a foreign language»

Actuaron con 3 canciones propias muy originales de ellas !! Increible verdad ?? Mas increible es ver a una niña de 10 añitos ejecutar el bajo tan profecionalmente y disfrutarselo a gusto en pleno concierto.. se divierte con su juguetito 😂 y Pau . ay dios mio !! Es dinamita pura en la bateria !! Dany es excelente guitarrista y vocal ... es la lider de la banda 👏👏👏👏⚠️⚠️ Estan advertidos ok ? Es Ale quien conmueve ❤❤❤

Gran reaccion chicos. Saludos desde San Luis Potosí. México.

This video Warned me in 2017. I haven’t been been disappointed since. ♥️✌🏻😎

🤩Paulina "Destructora" Villarreal. 18:56 Pau rompe su Baqueta. 19:03 Cambia la Baqueta dañada. 19:24 Pau la rompe nuevamente. Esa es una completa Power Girl ✨⚡😎

About their sound being different back then. It was 7 years ago now. The girls were good back then, but they have learned a lot more along the way. They never stop learning and trying new things. Also their equipment has changed a bit. Ale now has the 5 string Spector bass that adds so much dimension to the bass sound. Dany now has lighter PRS guitars that are a lot noisier than that Les Paul she played here. And their voices have matured so much. Dany was a good singer here. Now she is amazing, and so much stage presence. The harmonies they sing now are heavenly. The album in between is Queen of the Murder Scene. A concept album about an obsession that turn into murder and death. What 14 year old wouldn't want to write something like that. :)

Absolutely EPIC live performance!! Besides being rock stars they are smart, humble, funny and the nicest people on earth! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

*Suggestions:* The Warning You seen the 2017 TedX Talk video. Now see them one year earlier doing a 2016 TedX Talk. Would be wonderful if TedX Talks contact The Warning & ask if they will come back in 2026. 10 years later talk. -------------------------------------- Another *all female teenagers* rock band from *Ukraine (residing in Germany)* called *The Sixsters* released two fanstastic songs this year alone. They do have a Wikipedia page with info. Songs are ....... *Feels* & *I stare out you...* Both in English. They do have some rocks in Ukraine. All original material. No covers.

A mi en lo personal me encanta y me fascina mucho este concierto por que es surpreendente como estas niñas pueden ser tan profesionales y dueñas del escenario a tan corta edad. Eso es irrelevante y fantástico!! Ademas de lá energia y poder que transmite en cada una de sus próprias canciones . .. imagine se eso.. Amazing !!

❤❤❤❤❤

This is the one! Do I need to say more?

Dese pequeñas The Warning mostraron su gran capacidad,calidad y talento para tocar temas y covers de grandes bandas en forma excelente ,pero sus temas originales son excelentes mas de 46 temas y ninguno malo y sus contenidos siempre dejan algo en que pensar

Great reaction guys! You need to check out the performance live at Lunario CDMX , there they presented their album Queen of the murder scene, a concept álbum, full of old school sock sound, it worth it every single minute. Saludos desde México

DPA are incredible people and awesome performers very impressive.

as a Rush fan I'm impressed about the end of Survive, amazing!

The most interesting part of watching these older performances is seeing how small Ale was. Now she's the tallest of the sisters, by quite a good bit. She's a good few inches taller than Dany and half a foot taller than Pau lol.

They so adorable and cute here i love Ale speaking here her english is so good to listened 😊 i love the confidence of the 3 sisters..

I love the talkative Ale here😊

After you guys had finished watching survive, the third song in this video, you said that it sounded like it came right out of the '80s or the 90s but you're completely wrong it came right out of the warning, haha. Just kidding man we all love them and I love to see the smile on everybody's face, you guys, the people in the crowd and them themselves it's all great.

FYI Ale was in grade for when they were recording 21st Century Blood. When I'm Alone is all Dany that's why there's no Pau or Ale

The Warning!! 🔥 🤘

Ale saying family is the most important part still rings true today. Luis Mony Dany Pau Ale Rudy Carlos Ivan Charles and the rest of the crew are their family now and work as a united force watching each others backs and protecting each other. There really has never been another band that is this united and focused on what they want. Music is passion Music is hope Music is life. Even if they stopped now they have earned their place in music history. 🤘🤘edit: Queen of the Murder Scene is their 2nd and best(imo) album concept album which most reactors will react to the entire Lunario debut concert in chapters, it has 4 chapters. 😉

Thank you! Quería ver esto con ustedes! Ha sido genial!

they are so brave at that age, is not easy talk to all people and show wharever you do a that age.

Now you need to watch the first part of this presentation or you are left with the incomplete story.

that early When I'm Alone start with music background, now is acappella

Wanted to add that you're the first one to agree that there is a hint of Neil Young here. I hear it in several Dany solos on the first album and especially on the short (Would have liked it to be longer) solo in The End which wraps up the QOTMS album. No one else has ever agreed with me on that. I know Neil's work pretty well so I don't think I'm just imagining it.

Another awesome Mexican band you might want to check out is Descartes a Kant. "After Destruction" and "The Mess We've Made" are their latest singles.

They did a 2016 Tedx
