COUPLE React to The Warning - DUST TO DUST Live at Teatro Metropolitan | OFFICE BLOKE DAVE 

I've seen this band live 7 times already. Not a lot of post-production on the audio. They sound EXACTLY like this live. It's a massive wall of sound.

Dany explained what she does for her live guitar sound. She uses a Kemper Profiler pedal board and she splits the mono line out into 2 left & right channels with a slight delay into one of the channels, so that is why the guitar's soundstage sounds much bigger than normal. It is to be noted that they do use backing tracks to add some rhythm guitar parts when necessary, but they are all played by Dany. Also an interesting anecdote regarding their live performances, for the official music video of Money that was released by MTV, they used video recorded for the big stage screens, but the audio was replaced by the studio version and apparently the girls were so on point, that they were able to just drop the studio audio and only needed to do very minimal timing adjustments and the audio worked perfectly over the live performance.

I think this was the show where Pau was in tears at the end (and comforted by Ale) because the crowd showed so much love to them. We love them and they return that love, they are awesome ❤🤘

Ale's basslines for this song are amazing, especially when you consider she wrote them when she was 12 or 13. Pau doing Pau things, singing and playing drums at the same time. Dany seems to appreciate being able to walk away from the microphone to rock out whenever Pau is singing lead. Dany is a total guitar nerd and she uses several effects to create the wall-of-guitar sound. They have done videos explaining their individual rigs, though I think Dany has improved her set up a good bit since she did the last one. Dany and Pau coordinate on the guitar effects to run everything through the Ableton Live software that runs their backing track from their studio stems during their live shows. So, everything Dany does is something she created, whether it is a sampled or performed live. They did some editing of the audio and video for this concert recording between the two dates they performed at the same venue, but I'm pretty sure that anything they modified on the sound track was between the two master recordings that were captured from the sound mixer board and not anything done in studio after the fact. They may have adjusted the mic levels from the raw capture, but from what people who were there at the concerts have reported, this is what the concert sounded like for them.

Dany has a Kemper pedal board that can duplicate/triplicate her guitar signal in different octaves each with different effects/delays. She can simulate dual leads. Additionally, Pau has a laptop to her left that they use to add backing tracks/sounds. These are usually recorded of them in advance (except sounds like sirens and other non-instruments). Finally, they have a click track (also from the laptop) that keeps them synchronized.

Dany has an effect programmed on here peddle board that allows for an extra guitar. It's a small delay she has set up to give the illusion of another guitar while she is playing. In 2020 she did a rundown of her peddle board and the effects she can do with it.

Why the guitar sound is so "big"; In Dani's equipment rundown vid (on their channel) she explained that one of the things her pedal board allows is separate channels for the left and right speakers. This allows her to apply a delay on one channel of a couple milliseconds to give a fuller sound. Her setup does let her do far more than that but it's best just to watch it and see.

In my limited understanding, Dany takes the raw sound from her guitar and splits it three ways, one way has a pedal effect for the main sound the other two are delayed and routed left and right with a slightly fuzzier sound so that it sounds like three guitars playing off one instrument. Im not a tech guy but thats what i have gleaned from prior conversations on this topic. ✌️💖🎼

Pau is a five foot tall stick of dynamite! So much talent, drums, vocals, song writing, piano and producer! This whole band is next level!

The sheer joy on Ash's face the entire time is amazing.

Dave ..adding Ash has helped your channel so much ..love her …The Warning rules …

Pau also does a great job singing on their song 23 from the same concert

gr8 reaction ... when you get around to queen of the murder scene ... do the lunario cdmx live vids and do them in order ... they tell an epic story with this album ... r0ck 0n ... \m/ p.s. - dust to dust is the first song and prologue to that epic story p.p.s. - dany uses a stereo effect with most of her guitars that makes it sound like a wall of sound... coming from both sides and the center ... slightly out of phase ... BIG sound

Their sound is so big for a three piece! I saw them live this summer and it is incredible. Their tone is awesome and they have great sound engineering

I listen to The Warning, I smile, I watch your reaction, i see your wide smile, I smile... And my coworkers wonder what the hell I'm watching 😁

She uses a stereo effect on her guitar , Dany is big into the technical side of guitar effects and patches .

Every song in this concert is amazing. Pick another one at random. It'll be great.

In addition to the fat guitar sound produced by splitting the guitar channel, Ale continuously adjusts her play to shift between root notes, chords and leads depending on what Dany is doing on guitar, which makes it easy for her to add some depth while Dany is doing a lead (with or without a prerecorded rhythym track). For some songs Ale also adds fuzz distortion which allows her to easily play a distorted rhythym guitar tone.

Also you can see the laptop next to Pau. That's got Ableton I believe running, and they are using that to trigger the extra sounds, and also running the click track. But all the instruments are played by the band themselves.

Dany's main tone is mono from the miced Orange amp on stage to front of house and the kemper is run stereo DI to front of house with different octaves and effects on each channel to fill out the sound. The wife and I are have a lot of fun watching the two of you keep up the great work.

Yes, Dany does use octave effects, and splits the signal with a delay and a couple other adjustments gives an incredibly full sound. There are videos in which she's goes over her rig and explains things. Several, in fact, as she's changed her setup over the years. I don't remember full details, but I'm sure someone can fill in more specifics.

You need to do the warning “23” live from this show Pau the drummer puts on a show

There are enough of the Warning Army that actually know everything about the set up that someone in Chat will know what they have done to the track here but there is definitely some effect on Dany's guitar. As far as fitness these girls when they were younger would be knackered after performances now because they have purposely worked on their fitness they could perform 2 hours go out and run 6 miles then run it down mid. Most bands go out drink, party and go crazy The Warning hit the gym and listen to other bands.

Two channels from her guitar, slight delay between one channel and the other. My description may not be 100% accurate but that's the most basic way I can remember how I heard it explained.

I came upon your channel because of your reactions to The Warning. Your are showing a preference for the Warning's live performances which is fair because the are incredible live but there are to videos you should react too. Their video for EVOLVE was shot with 7 iPhones and a drone. It is bloodraisingly entertaining. It will raise your hairs!! Also, Metallica released an album celebrating the 30th anniversary of their self titled Metallica album, They asked 50 artistes to do interpretation of the songs on the album. Not covers but interpretations. They asked The Warning and popstar Alesia Cara to do an interpretation of Enter Sandman. The video is AWESOME. Don't start with the live performance because it's without Alessia Cara. While you're at it, Check out the video for Disciple has good production value. Very entertaining. Quick note. Paulina sings while she runs to increase her performance stamina and the 3 girls do weight training for the same purpose.

His lady has a 1000 diffrent facial expressions 😂

Hi from Sweden. Did you know that it´s Pau (the drummer) who write most of the songs and lyric on piano and then brings it too the two sisters and complete the songs with them.

The main power of them is harmonizing. Its something not so easy to achieve even in more expirienced musicians. Greetings from Panama

Ash has the happiest eyes I've ever seen!!! She has such a good time watching The Warning. Every time I watch her react to a new The Warning video it makes my cheeks hurt too!

The smile on your face during that song says it all!!

Excellent ear regarding the effects on Dany's guitar and the technical aspects of what is happening. I'm sure another TWA member will follow up with exactly what is happening but stereo effect, phase shift, etc., I think you're on the right track. Obviously the sound on this recording was straight to the board and mixed in post but there are fan recorded videos of this concert that you can find that show exactly how big they sound live and honestly its amazing. Great reaction. This entire Teatro Metropolitan concert was amazing and they have another sold out show in October that I'm guess will be just as well if not MORE so. Maybe some new music?

If you think Pau singing behind the kit was impressive in this performance, you should check out their song 23 also from this venue. IMO I'm more impressed by this performance seeing her ability to sing while playing the drums. Thanks for the reaction, guys. 👍⚡⚡⚡

Playing live really is their superpower. I have seen them 5 times now and been blown away every time. I expect you two would really enjoy seeing them next time The Warning come through the UK. Great reaction. Glad to see you have the same reaction many of us do as well.

Goooo PAU!!!!!!!!

Yeah Pau practices singing while running on the treadmill to keep herself even vocally while drumming. These young ladies really are amazing!!! 🤘😝🤘

Ale is so damn awesome to watch in this concert I watched multiple fan vids and she was just spectacular.

This song is the intro to their concept album _Queen of the Murder Scene,_ which tells of a girl going from love to obsession, stalking, murder, and then the fight with her evil side for her soul. You should do the whole album in order, with 'Crimson Queen' next. The Lunario and Foro Didi shows are excellent.

Probably my favorite The Warning song

One time last year after finishing a show Pau logged on to Patreon or Instagram because she needed to unwind, they had to get to sleep because they were on the road early the next morning. So she says "what's everyone up to?" If you can name another rockstar that dials up their followers after a concert to chat, let me know. No wonder their fans are diehards. They make everyone feel like family.

Paulina would run and sing while on a treadmill to acquire breath control and stamina.

I've always preferred the original live version of this song for reactions, feeling the energy was better when the song was fresh to them. I still love it, but today I concede that this version is amazing and I'm happy to see it take the place of the Lunario version. I still hold my ground that the original live Narcisista at Foro Didi is the superior version though. Pau's energy is just amazing there.

The bass open by Ale was sick. Pau singing lead with Dany singing backup on this song is killer. These women rock! 🤟🤟

There’s drummers, there’s singers, there’s singing drummers…and then there’s Pau!

Dany uses a pedal board for the sound and tone your talking about. There's a video to explain how she does it she is a complete nerd when it comes to her sound. This song is fantastic Pau is a phenom to be able to drum those intricate fills etc while belting out so perfectly blows my mind every time she takes the lead on vocals. Ale is always so flawless with her basslines but she really stands out in this performance there's a video for her equipment as well. Dany's ending vocal is sick they are just so impressive. Love your reactions and enjoy your attention to TW so thank you both.🤟🔥⚡⚡⚡

Thanks for another reaction of TW! Can’t wait until the next one!!🔥⚡️

Others may have said this already but I believe Pau sings while running on a treadmill to help her with her singing and drumming. As for rock being dead, it has not been in the mainstream for a long while but there are plenty of good rock bands around, including The Warning of course. The Warning might be the band to bring rock back to mainstream success. Rival Sons is a really good band that has been around for a little while and The Answer is another that I follow. A lot of rock is disguised as blues rock these days too, but it's not recognized very much by the mainstream media.

I like your analysis of Dany’s guitar work. Dany is super underrated when it comes to her guitar playing. She does a lot of cool stuff with her pedalboard and switching between effects. Super underrated

Another excellent reaction from you two. The amount of talent, dedication, work ethic, and appeal that these three young women have is unheard of. Their live shows are all extraordinary in their own way, and all three of them have great stage presence and the ability to connect with the crowd. Bands like The Warning are rare in this day and age, and I feel like they are going to rise to the top of the music world in the next year.

I've been following them since 2014 and became a patron years back. They are incredible musicians and people, and many of us in the army will always back them, and it's almost feels like they are your daughters. I think we all get emotional when we see something good or a dream of theirs comes true. They make their fans feel like family and nobody else does that. They genuinely care about their fans

Hi Dave and Ash! Dany, along with being an incredible front woman, singer, guitar player and riff master, is a master of her guitar effects. She combines many effects and makes a wall of sound. I have seen them live 4 times, three times in small venues and watched them all up close. They are even better than you think they are. The wall of sound they hit you with is indescribable. Their playing is better than you imagine, their singing is better than you imagine, and their energy is off the charts. I have never travelled more than 2 or 3 hours to see a concert, but I travelled 9 hours for them, and I am flying to Mexico to see them again. They are THAT good!

Note for Ash. This song is the prologue to their awesome 2018 Queen of the Murder Scene concept album. Eventually you should react to the entire album live at Lunario CDMX. Reactors have either done this one at a time or as an entire live stream.

They have it all. Their youth… looks.. musicianship… song writing… consistency… and energy… The Warning is just the perfect live rock band. I’m sure their sound engineers and crew do their best to make adjustments to bring out the best sound for every venue but… the 3 sisters still have to execute every night. You can adjust and make plans as best as you can but without solid execution from the sisters… it can all fall like a house of cards. If I can only be in one concert for the rest of my life… it will be The Warning. Hands down. They came. They rocked. They conquered.

Back when you were doing office bloke reactions I messaged you to invite you to the UK private show but got no response, shame as I think you would have enjoyed it. The show was organised and paid for by fans and has a professionally shot video on RU-vid

This converted me from someone who would say they only listened to “classical music” to feeling like a spell cast over me that opened my heart and ears to appreciate so much more music, but it took three of the most talented artists and become a Warning army member.

Yes, Dany uses both octave shift and delay effects sent through a second channel to fatten the sound and give the illusion of a second guitar. She also typically programs different distortions and effects into her footboard depending on whether she’s playing a verse, chorus, or solo. Enjoyed your reaction! 👍😎

One thing you can rest assured about The Warning is their honesty. If you react to more songs from this concert at Teatro Metropolitan then you will come across minor glitches in some songs. Most bands would have taken audio tracks from concert to the studio and replaced those errors with recordings. But the sisters didn't. Knowing fully well that these songs published on RU-vid will remain forever open to scrutiny & criticism they just went ahead with uploading everything. As Dany said in "Mayday in the Making" documentary - this is me. this is who i am. do you like it?

DUST TO DUST : El primer tema del album conceptual QOTMS ,una gran interpretacion de Pau , cuantos bateristas podran cantar y tocar lineas de bateria complicadas al mismo tiempo como Pau y gran base de bajo de la talentosa Ale, son el mejor trio de rock 2023, ,el mejor grupo de rock en vivo ,con el tiempo seran leyendas de la historia del Rock ,su album conceptual de QOTMS pasara a la historia como una obra maestra del rock

You really should listen to Revenant from this same concert, Pau sings, no drums, just acoustic guitars, a base and harmonies. It is really beautiul and Pau's vocals are fantastic.

❤❤❤

RE: The guitar tone.. I remember Dany talking about how the signal is split and one side has like a 10ms delay which really adds to the thickness of the 1 guitar. There are 1 or 2 of occasions where a guitar backing track plays, but it's not a duplication, it's playing the rhythm while Dany solos. She also uses a harmonizer that will play an octive higher or lower sometimes as well.

They just give me goosebumps every single time. They basically evolve the genre to an incredible point, it is obvious that they will be one of the biggest bands in the world soon. So much energy, so much talent, great compositions, just outrageous. Their parents must be soooo proud, can you imagine ?

The band is best experienced live, so here is a fan-created sequential playlist of ALL the clips from their now-legendary 2022 Teatro Metropolitan (Metropolitan Theatre) concert, plus a link for the entire concert (all taken from the band's offical RU-vid channel). It includes all the songs from their recent album ERROR plus highlights from their prior two albums and their Blacklist version of "Enter Sandman" - ru-vid.com/group/PLVJLlyTsgzsagBKPKlKNKt6W62rMbyjsQ

TW does use backing tracks, very subtly and tastefully, but on this track Dany's effects loop is EPIC (octave, chorus, delay just a bit?) and you're hearing live performance. This remains my favorite song of theirs after three years.

PPau has been singing and playing the drums at the same time since...she started playing the drums. It was one of his first drum teachers who encouraged him to do it. It's Ale at 12-13 who compose the main part of this song)

You two are wonderful! The ladies do use backtracks, usually a second guitar, sometimes a keyboard, and rarely a vocal. The thing is that if all that goes to hell, you still get a great-sounding song. As they have said, backtracks are ok as long as they do not become the song.

Dave, even though you have already heard this song, it is okay to smile and show a little bit of emotion. LOL As for backtracks, yes, they do use them, but sparingly. Enter Sandman has Alessia singing in it. That is why they always give her full credit when they announce the song. When they add more guitar, it is Dany playing. Some of the songs have keyboard piano and some organ as well. Not sure which sister does those tracks as all 3 are excellent pianists. Having said that, they have had full backtrack failures during a concert, and the audience was not aware of it. The extra sound they add is for the listening enjoyment of the audience, and not because they can't sound good without it. They sound great, just a little more of their own sound, made by them. It's the same with Nightwish, except NW uses the London Philharmonic and The London Adult and Child Choir in their backtracks at their concerts, and not recordings of the band playing all of the different instruments. You and Ash should do more first time reactions of TW together!!! "First Time"!!

There is a published video where Dany the guitarist explains how the entire guitar show works, first the pedal board has a phase shift programming, which causes a second guitar, increasing the noise of the first, another is that the pedal board itself has one click connected to Pau's laptop, where they place only a rhythm guitar and sound effects, only to accompany only the sections where they need strength, but everything controlled by Paulina the drummer, in fact everything is 100% live, it is only for boost force in a short section. If you listen to the entire concert, there are songs without any harmonic effect, just them, their instruments and voices. And yes bass have distortions effects too, keep rockin.

Dany's end vocal wraps up this song with a beautiful bow ...

In my opinion, Paulina's best performance is the song 23 from this same concert. It is mindblowing how good she is..

I couldn't count how many times I've seen and heard this and it still feels epic.

Dany uses a Kemper pedal board and often splits her input to include two different octaves that will be played on two different channels to get that "wall of sound" that you hear. Pau triggers the board from her drums and the Mac sends the programs to Dany's board so that she can get different tones for each part in each song....❤

Thanks for the reaction. As far as I know they have some backing tracks here and there. For example you can (barely) hear another rythm guitar in the background when Dany is playing a solo or a specific riff. Or they have some piano parts in a few songs which you can hear very clearly in Survive. But it's all their production and adds a kick to the whole show. They don't do much of a post production, they sound the same live.

Hello Dave & Ash. Geat reaction as ever. If you look carefully, Pau has a laptop onthe left of her drum kit. Throughout the concert we hear both piano and ghost baking vocals, which I am sure are played through the computer. These days, a pre-rcorded track negates the need to employ an extra musician, although on the tracks 'Narcissista' and 'Revenant' drums and acoustic guitar is played by an additional male musician. Take care both. Cheers

Did you notice at 3:26 that Pau is playing single-handedly? She is adjusting something in her back, maybe the volume of her in-ears. The fact that almost no one notices is amazing, since she does not miss one beat.

Pau and Dany are unbelievably fit. I cannot speak to Ale' because I have not seen her doing the workouts that Dany and Pau are doing (RU-vid videos of their workouts). Pau also sings while running in order to build and keep her cardio strength for this kind of singing!

Pau blows my mind every time I see or listen to The Warning...she is insane.

I have been to one of their concert in Toronto in August 2023. Yes, they are this loud live just 3 of them and the venue they perform was a small bar that did not have a lot of musical accessories to complement their performance.

From what I understand Pau rehearses while working out - singing while on a running machine - helps her breathing and to control her voice during physical exertion!

Pau the drummer just one an award for best aspiring drummer of 2023!

Dany and Ale do use a LOT of pedals to fill out their sound.

You're not wrong they are a band you have to see live, managed to earlier this year in London and they didn't disappoint

Dust to Dust is the intro song on DPA/TW's "Queen of the Murder Scene" concept album (aka QOTMS)... it is inviting you in to hear the deep, dark, and foreboding story of a young woman apparently in love with someone that doesn't even know she exists... QOTMS is one of those albums best experienced by listening to it from beginning to end in order... listening to each of the songs piecemeal and out of order is like trying to figure out a movie by catching a portion near the end, one from near the beginning, and one near the middle... yeah, it won't work out very well... as a concept album, many of us members of TWA can easily see it as a movie or Broadway stage performance... it is that good and to think it was written by them at a very young age and released as their 2nd album! i mean... whoa! who does that?? 😹 TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

The reason her guitar sounds so full is that Dany uses a Kemper Profiler pedalboard, where she layers multiple effects that run to the mixer as a stereo output. It's literally a wall of sound (I've heard and felt it live, amazing.) From time to time, you may hear a fill guitar line, sound effects, or keyboards. Pau manages those from her drum kit and laptop running Ableton Live. Other than a compressor effect and occasional distortion, Ale mostly plays a clean bass sound.

Last TW song you hear, is always your new favorite. It's a real thing. LOL

The bass is going to be playing the root notes of the guitar...You seriously underestimate the virtuosity of Ale...

One of the only other 3 piece bands that I can think of that can pull off so much sound is Chevelle. These girls have a terrific concert hall sound. I can't wait to see them again this fall.

I saw in one behind the scenes video, for live shows to fill the sonic space, they split the signal and put a 10ms delay on the split signal to make it sound like two guitarists playing in unison.

Dany's pedel board is doing a delay 10ms, so the guitar sound Is bigger, she have explained in a video.

These young ladies are amazing. Each of them shine every show. Pau is a beast behind that drum kit, in fact during an interview her sisters said she's like that Muppet, Animal, during a show. Fun fact, Jim Henson the Muppets creator fashioned Animal after John Bonham of Led Zeppelin because he was a huge fan.

El bajo es uno de los mejores instrumentos que existe sin la entrega de el las canciones no tienen cuerpos y vibración. Y Ale lo sabe tocar de manera magistral.

As someone whose been a Death Metal/Power Metal guy for the better part of the last 20 years, I wasn't feeling The Warning first time I heard them. I thought they were a bit basic or mainstream or whatever blah blah me just being an A hole. After giving them another listen tho they're actually so good. Yeah they're not the most technical band but their ability to write catchy songs that stick in your head and that will stand the test of time, all while performing them with such a genuine passion and energy takes a lot of skill in itself and is something even the most seasoned of Metal musicians today seem to have trouble capitalizing on. Regardless of your music taste if you don't like them youre missing a part of your soul. These three ladies are such great people and Rock musicians, the way the good underlord intended. 😇 It brings me so much joy to see Z'ers keeping the spirit alive and the joy they bring others. Wish them the best of success they deserve it. 🔥🤘🔥

The power of Orange Amplification!!! LOVE This band!!

They do use effects on the pedal boards. Some songs do run a second guitar track when Dany switches to lead from rhythm.

The Warning; No auto-tuning... EVER! Just to clarify.

excelente reacción, THE WARNING presente y futuro del ROCK!!!🤘🤘⚡

Ale uses a five string Spector base using a drop d tuning. Gives it a heavier sound.

Ahh and I was there!! And that was a night amazing!!! They sounds amazing.

Thank you both for such a good, entertaining, interesting and fun reaction, as usual with TW, my favorite rock band of all time (and it hasn't reached the top yet, but they will get there). Greetings from México!! 🇲🇽 🤘😁✌️

Very pretty. You can't go wrong with the Teatro concert.

Best band I have heard in years. Love it!
