Rock Singer Reacts - The Warning - Choke Live At Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 

Phil is like The Charismatic Voice's unruly rebellious younger brother, and I'm here for it.

Ale plays a 5 string. Youngest artist signed by Spector with her own signature bass.

You started tearing up just before the lyrics say, "Wear your tears like jewelry".

That chorus was written by Pau an she asked Dany if she wanted to change it, Dany said "Nah, I think I can pull it off".

If you are a Megadeth fan, you have to listen to: "Queen of the Murder scene"

I thought rock music was dead... but then I started hearing songs from The Warning. Rock music is back alive.

Wait until you hear 'Hell You Call A Dream' LIVE @ CDMX Dany's vocals are NEXT LEVEL! Great reaction!

Told you. This one is all three of them flexing all their best stuff.

These girls leave me crying every other song. The composition, timing and tone hits your soul regardless of how many times you have heard it.

Phil, you have quickly risen to the top of my favorite reactor list................

Ale?...Ale??...Ale???.... Love it!!

Oh, they know exactly what they're doing. They couldn't create such awesome song after song by accident.

And that was at a very high altitude. Dany is music, Dany is passion, Dany is life.

Phil's eyes while cheering on Ale's vocals confirmed beyond doubt his membership in TWA ✌️💖🎼

First time I heard some one deconstructing the entire song and vocals in a perfect way. Another masterclass !!!.🙏

Classic rock (late 60s and early 70s) was developed by people who were extraordinary blues players that understood it’s the space between the notes that give the notes meanings that are conveyed. The multiple changing motifs within The Warning’s songs blow me away.

Repeat with me Phil: the last song I heard it's my favorite, always, anytime... That's The Warning Mantra

Every song you listen to from now on will be your favorite. They don't have a bad song....

Las Wawas is a nickname given them by their hispanic fans. They had trouble pronouncing The Warning. Some also called them Da Guarning. La Wawa (without an s) is the name TW gave their US tour bus in 2022 - it stands for Warning Wagon. In their video for Qué Más Quieres, TW were the wedding band as Las Wawas at Dany’s wedding.

never clicked a video so fast in my life

These ladies don’t believe in rules.

BAD NEWS for plenty reactors out there… if this reaction is the standard, wow congrats it had it all. “Ale, Ale, Ale…!!! Priceless. Greetings from México ❤️🇲🇽

I forget who it was that said, “Music is the space between the notes” The Warning is a band who embraces that Philosophy

No doubt about it, YT needs to find a way to give more than one thumbs up for Phil’s breakdowns of songs by The Warning!! 🤘⚡️⚡️🤘

Me cry? You cry! Everybody cry! Wait until you hear Martirio. I have never been able to sit through the entire song without breaking down. Dany’s haunting outro wail in that song, I am just a mess at that point.

Quickly becoming my favourite reactor.... not afraid to nerd out... not afraid to give us his insights and opinions - even when they really don't have anything to do with the music (Wait, Ale has light up frets???... How many strings is that???) Just your typical music nerd loving the music and hearing it for the technical masterpiece that it is Thank you sir.

Phil, I cannot express how much I appreciate you. As a graphic designer, when you start using terms like ‘letting it breathe’, ‘negative space’, etc. you’re talking my language. They are so incredible at composing with a disciplined “simplicity” that actually makes their songs so powerful. This song was actually the first release off their third album Error, and it wasn’t their favorite. Great reaction!

You, sir, are the one that has broken down the 2nd verse like no one else before. Masterful! 🤟

Thanks for another high quality reaction, Phil! So cool you got your tickets to see them live. You won't be disappointed!

I'm new to the fandom but I believe "Las Wawas" is the name they call their tour bus?

They're ⚡️THE WARNING⚡️ and their own style. That's what sets them apart from all other bands!

Ale’s bass line in verse 2 is so beautiful.

Dude! My teenage son and i are going to the Vancouver show! Let’s meet up!

TW are masters of ‘negative space’ - often verses are just accompanied by drums and bass (super well composed between them as you pointed out), then pre-chorus often just guitar (HYCAD a great example of this). Spaces/drops artfully placed - just wonderful writing. HYCAD (live version) will rock your world

Both Paulina and their album producer David Bendeth tried to convince Dany to shift down the chorus and Dany said "Nah, I can do it!"

Every new song will be your new favorite

I think any time Ale has a solo part singing in one of their songs, whenever she finishes, she steps back from the mic and smiles. It's almost like, "Glad that's over".

The Warning is so intentional with everything they do, I'm sure their combining old and new writing styles is intentional as well. Great reaction BTW.

That "drifting out of trust" bit hits me in the emotions too.

"The second verse is so tasteful"... Oh yes, indeed!!! 😉😊🎶

"Choke" has become one of my all time favourite rock songs in over 5 decades of listening to music. Apart from the message which means a lot to me, you said yourself it is just so well put together. Definitely my most listened to The Warning song of the last few years. Love your reaction, thank you. ❤✌🤘⚡🔥

When it comes to brilliant composition, this song surpasses everything produced by The Beatles, and that says it ALL. It has 5 distinct motifs: 2 verses (both of which are completely different... I count the intro as a verse), a killer guitar riff of ALL GUITAR RIFFS, pre-chorus, chorus, AND a bridge. These girls are other-worldly!!

These ladies bring tears to my eyes more than id like to admit! 🤫🤣😂 Another GREAT reaction dude!!!!! Loved it!

I loved he used the translator for us the hispanics

The bass is often overlooked in this song. THe fill ins and the figures during the chorus are great and just help you reaching the peak. Excellent Bass lines here.. and performance of course.

If this one gets ya teary. I think MARTIRIO will do it also.. it's in Spanish. I don't speak Spanish but I think it's one of their most powerful songs. The Vocals/harmonies/wailing at the end gets me teary eyed Everytime.. Someday Martirio is going to shake Stadium's, 60,000 people singing Oooo. whoo ohohoh (whatever that part) Yep powerful 🌎✌️

That bass is beyond cool.

For a long time this was my favorite vocal performance by far by Dany , then Hell You Call a Dream live from the Pepsi Arena came out, now that is my favorite.

For what it's worth, your "big sister" Elizabeth also reacted to and analyzed this one. She also was very captivated by the composition as well as the vocals and performance. If you haven't seen it, check it out. It's clear she admires these ladies.

Thanks, Phil, for another fantastic reaction! 🤘🏻👍🏻

Ale has talked about getting some of her ideas for bass lines from the classical music she loves listening too

I think you’re the best reactor I’ve seen. Very informative and extremely entertaining. Keep it up!

When you listen this song in a concert, Dany's voice hits you like a truck, this and hell you call a dream leaves you with a jaw wide open

OH I'm so glad I watched to the end. Phil you've called out exactly WHY I'm a The Warning fan. They BRING IT. Every time. No matter what. And they have done so since before they were teenagers. The songs are great, the performances are great, yeah. You can find that almost anywhere. But the amount of commitment they bring: emotional, physical, heck, *intellectual* - to every recording and particularly to every performance - you don't see *that* every day, if not ever. Like a lot of other commenters here I'm an old guy who came back to rock in a big way because of The Warning.

Your description of The Warning’s modern take on Rock music is exactly how I feel about AlterBridge. Some classic rock call backs , combined with modern metal overtones and undertones, creative songwriting and beautiful interesting bridges, great harmonies and epic soaring choruses. They just don’t write a bad song! 💪

Ale is an Spector artist, she plays an Spector USA NS-5XL Bass Guitar - Ale's Inferno

i believe i teared up the first time i listened to Choke, a live version ... so, i feel ya

Another outstanding reaction and analysis! One of the other hallmarks of their songs is some part where the audience can sing along after the first time they hear it. That's going to be mindblowing when they play huge stadiums.

Thank you Phil! Musical muggles like myself are very grateful for your simplified, understandable explanations of the complexities of a good rock song. 😁 Also...have you ever noticed how ALL songs from The Warning have a definite, often dramatic finish? Another sign of great songwriting, I imagine.

The first time I listen to "Choke" I was literally choked up. It was the first single out of Error album. Not only the production is waayyy up there compared to their previous albums, but the song writing is also enhanced significantly. "Choke" hit the soft spot in my soul since the first listen.

Thanks for joining us in The Warning Army, Phil. There is a lot of ground to cover before your shows. Yes, that second verse is so tasteful. Dany's voice. I love Ale's bass line in there. Pau just back there not getting in anyone's way. Perhaps next could be the Enter Sandman Double (or Triple) Play. The Warning have a wonderful relationship with Metallica’s Enter Sandman. 1) They did this video cover in their basement when they were 14, 12, and 9 that their father uploaded to RU-vid for the grandparents to see. 25M+ views later.... 2) Metallica invited Alessia Cara to participate in the Blacklist 30th Anniversary album during COVID. The international management agent that represents both Alessia and The Warning asked Metallica if both groups could be brought together for this project. The two groups wrote (Alessia in Canada, The Warning in Mexico), recorded, and produced an entirely new version of Sandman in only ten days that ended up being the lead track on Metallica’s anniversary album. The official music video for that is a great second video. (Or you could jump straight to #3 if you only care to do the double play). 3) The Warning then did their Sandman version at a 2022 concert at the Teatro Metropolitan in Mexico City (aka CDMX). This live performance is epic. Several reactors have done these back to back in the same reaction video and been blown away. By your reactions so far, i think you might really enjoy this.

Everyone cheers really loud when Ale sings and it's every time. They Warnify the songs.

prepare to say the same thing again and again with their songs! The last is damn always the new favourite song !! That's how it works with them! 🤣😘

“Disciple” from this same concert is one you will enjoy.

I was lucky enough to get a front row spot right in front of Dany & Saiki at the BandMaid x The Warning show in Japan! Sang my heart out during CHOKE with tears in my eyes! Getting to see two incredible singers from two different bands at the same night from front row was overwhelming. I later also cried during BAND-MAID's performance of YOLO 😭😭😭

Ale's bass sound is so tasty in this song.

"The last TW song you listen to is your favorite TW song." ⚡️🫶🤘

Good to see you at it again Phil.

Thanks for a great and comprehensive breakdown as per usual. This band has a unique way of composing their music and it hits the spot every time. 🤘🏼🤘🏼

This song was my first introduction to The Warning, actually the OMV, but there was no turning back! Love your reactions, and how you dive into the song! Keep it up...waiting for the next one!

Respect bruh! What a great video! Today I just learned a couple of things thanks to you. TWA let's take this channel high where it's meant to be. Thanks Phil!

Second verse bass is everything

"You've been Warned!" means that the last Warning song you hear will be your new favorite. It's really common. They are excellent writers, composers, and performers. None of their songs sound the same.

I love your reactions to The Warning. I learn a lot about their music that no other reactor does. You break down their music so I can kinda understand how they come up with their music. These ladies are a special band to me. To be so talented, skilled with their instruments, skilled in song writing, an amazing stage presence and wonderful personalities at such a young age is just amazing to me. Remember Ale at only 19 and the youngest of the sisters is an amazing bass player. She not only has a signature bass but her own color for that bass. Pau at 22 is absolutely one of the best drummers I have ever seen. And of course at 24 Dany is an absolute incredible front woman, guitarist and lead singer. These ladies are going to be rock legends in my opinion. 🎸🤘🏻⚡️

No cambies en tú forma de reaccionar, eres de los mejores.

Absolutely a great reaction, I just love how you break everything down with such humor and wit. 👍👍🔥🔥🤘🤘

Insane bro! This was the first song that i listened from TW over a year ago, after the first chorus i became a fan! Viva las wawas!!! ⚡⚡⚡

Muy buena reacción bro, gracias por seguir con las reacciones a The Warning, espero que pronto reacciones a "hell you call a dream" de igual forma se destaca la voz de Danny, Gracias, saludos desde México ❤

Your reactions to TW are priceless!! Thx Phil!

The warning named their tour bus La WaWa and from their the fans started calling them Las WaWas its that simple cheers buddy for this and all your great reactions to The Warning 👍👍🤟🤟🔥🔥

Interesting use of the word “submersive”. Watch the official video now and you may get goosebumps. ⚠️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Aloha Phil, happy to see you back!!! You have a lot of time to educate yourself about The Warning, unlike your compatriot, Ashlena, who discovered them one week and in the next, found out they were coming to Toronto in 2 weeks time. So she had to really cram a lot of music into that time. Speaking of educate...please check out The Warning documentaries and find out about their history and personalities: TIDAL Rising - The Warning; and MayDay in the Making episodes 1-6; these will give you more about them in their own words as well as their family and team members. Great analysis on your part!! Salud! #APDVillaReality

Great reaction and analysis! They have better vocabularies than many Americans their age. When was the last time you heard the word rapacity used in a song (Money)? Recommend Hell You Call a Dream live from Pepsi Center CDMX to see Dany really stretch her voice. 😎👍

A lot of their songs give me chills or make me want to tear up. So powerful. And on a side note, I've recently bought my 4th pair of headphones and with these I can really pick out the things you mentioned happening between the three of them. These headphones really match up well with my hearing. Also, now I have to go back and listen to every song I've ever heard lol

Thanks, Phil, for another superb breakdown. Your reaction didn't seem like a 20-minute video. In fact, it went over so quickly, making me realising oh no, I have to wait at least another week for your next reaction. I am so happy that you got your tickets for The Warning. I actually flew 3742 miles for my first The Warning concert from Liverpool to Texas. I am sure you will enjoy the headlining show by The Warning more than the supporting role as there is something about a smaller venue, making the whole experience more intimate plus their set list will be longer. 3 songs from the 'ERROR ' album, 1 song fro 'queen of the murder scene ' album. Let's try a recent one of their forthcoming album releasing June 28th. He'll you call a dream live at the Pepsi centre or Automatic Sun at the Pal Norte Festival. A studio track over a live performance. Hopefully this will give you an indication of where they are now with their music although this is the first time they worked with other people writing songs as an experiment. 4 months to catch up on 10 years of music by The Warning before the concert. Best ramp up those reactions, mate😊. Thanks Phil, yet again. 🤟

This was my initial song to the band and it is still in the TOP 5 without a doubt, to hear Dany's voice so clean in those ascents is simply impressive because of how often he makes them without much time to breathe and recover.

In the studio, Dany does that part. It's only live that Ale sings that part.

This was the lead single off their 3rd album, which was after a long-ish (incl. Covid) break and the first album with the backing of a label. And it was a perfect statement single that if you thought they were bad asses before, you weren't wrong, but they had whole other levels to reach

This song, and this performance, give me chills every time! What an amazing band.

She's used "Debase" in two songs!!!! I ABSOLUTLY Love them.... Hopefully I'll see ya in NY! I have tix for NY, Toronto, and Monterey MX!!!!

Boy, you really know your job and you enrich every reaction with your knowledge, too cool.

Animosity is a great song. Hunter, Sinister Smiles, and Ugh are also great songs. Also, check out Black Holes, Show me the Light, Survive, 23, When I'm Alone, and Revenant. You really won't find a bad song by these terrific ladies.

Welcome to the “The Warning makes reactors cry club”. It’s a good thing. 🤘🏼❤️‍🔥🤘🏼

I think this is why Dany doesn’t do guitar solos because their songs just don’t need them to fill space! Wait till you get to songs Automatic Sun and Hell You Call A Dream!

This live video showed up on my feed last September and instantly fell into the rabbit hole. Seeing them this September and I am stoked. The song 23 from this concert might make you cry also

One of the greatest songs ever made holy crap

These girls are simply incredible musicians, song writers, and performers. I can't wait to see how good they will become.

Phil - my god- your reactions are so eloquent and robust- love you bro

Las Wawas is from the video for Que Mas Quieres where they are pseudo band players with that band name in suits in the story.

When Ale sang my eyes got wet and stuff. She is destined for greatness.
