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

Dude... It's always the last The Warning song you hear will be your FAVORITE 😂😂

"Malinchista" is a *uniquely* Mexican insult. It refers to the young Nahuatl woman called "La Malinche," who was sold to Cortés as a translator as a teenager, and helped the conquistadors and their Nahuatl allies defeat the Aztecs (in the end this did not go well for the Nahuatl people, either). She later had a child by Cortés, and married one of his lieutenants. She was and is a very controversial figure whose role in history has been debated and has changed considerably back and forth over the years. Was she a traitor or was she trapped unwillingly in a role she never meant to play? Anyway, it's very a deep and bitter insult in Mexican culture, and to say that the sisters were enraged by being called this in the press might be understating things just a little bit. They always say in interviews how much they love Mexico and Pau in particular has said she never wants to move anywhere else for their career. So yeah, this song could have been much more dark, but having it be a peppy sing-along just adds to the magnitude of the finger they were giving. :)

Fun fact: It's their first song with a co-writer... their mother ! "If we're gonna give them a big middle finger, it's gonna be in proper Spanish... Can you proof read the text, mom? " 😂🤣😂

Phil. How you don't have more subs is beyond me. There should be a RU-vid play button on that empty wall behind you! Your reactions are so engaging, informative, and ENTERTAINING! Other reactors are out there just nodding to the song and just saying "this is good", with like 100k+ subs! I AM A PHIL ZERO FAN!!!! 🤩 Awesome video as always!!!! Keep it up! You will be one of the best reaction channels out there. Mark my words!! PS - I DIED laughing at the bloopers at the end 😂😂😂

Believe it or not, there are a lot of haters, here in Mexico some people complain about how they were so "privileged", so "whitexicans" for having musical education, good instruments even when thery were kids, for having parents that cared about their children's dreams basically or just because they are beautiful women. The story of The Warning is kinda "different" from most mexican bands and people don't like that. Leaving that topic behind, It´s really great seeing how they are having now the recognition they deserve, not only in Mexico but worldwide! They are so talented! And I as a Mexican i'm so proud of them ❤

The key lyric in Spanish is “Malinchista”. If your wife is Mexican, she will know exactly what it means. This song is a response to their critics who criticized them for not singing in Spanish, so appropriately enough, they write their first Spanish song as a middle finger.

So much power in a 5 foot tall package. Pau kicks ass and takes ALL the names.

Pau could easily be frontwoman of any band. She's awesome.🔥

Understanding the word “malinchista” and its historical origin is super important to understand the song, which makes sense when understanding all the cultural implications of being called a malinchista.

Men, YOU wanna really hear Best song of Paulina? 23 Is the one YOU HAVE to react!!!

she was 15 when she wrote it..that's why

That is Beto Ramos,paus drum coach, and he was the sound engineer for the show

"Should we start over?".. Hell yes Phil.. let's start over.

This is what you get if you make Pau angry. An epic song comes out of her. With this one, when ‘Haters’ called them cultural traitors for writing and singing in English, Pau is unleashed! The fun part is you get to see the sisters together out front!

The girls were worried about walking around and hitting Paul with their guitars because she is all over the place and they had no idea where she would end up

Phil, hermano, ya eres Mexicano!! You got the full meaning of the song and you even learned what “malinchista” means. I enjoyed your reactions to The Warning a lot and I look forward to the next one. Viva The Warning! 🤘🏼♥️⚡🇲🇽

Nobody ever talks about Ale in this song. She is so powerful and controlled and glues everything together.

Not her teacher, he is her coach. She was born knowing how to play drums.

The Warning Effect: The last song you've heard is your new favorite.

The Warning has a hard rock core with other genres blended in. That makes their music more widely liked. That is why the Army is so diverse in multiple ways.

You are quickly becoming one of my favorite reactors, because not only you dissect the song in a manner non-musicians can understand, which adds to the listening experience next time I hear the song, but you also have such a good humor and genuinely enjoy it. As for the song, yes, this was a middle finger song to all those Mexican critics who said that they were "Malinchistas" because all their songs were in English when they were a Mexican band, so Pau got mad and wrote this jewel of a song, ha ha. Truth is: 1) they grew listening to Rock in english; 2) they attended a private bilingual school; 3) they live in Monterrey, very close to the US border and cultures kind of mix more because of that, so when they started writing, it just came natural to do it in English, no hidden agenda on it. As for not being Mexican enough, it is nonsense because at their concerts they always proudly say they are from Mexico, and in interviews too, also they have said many times that they want to show the World that in Mexico there is talent. But well, haters will hate no matter what, right?.... Great reaction and nothing to do with it but I like that you have some "Huichol" art on the back, those people make amazing crafts. Cheers!

I'm from Chile and even though we speak spanish, we don't use "malinchista" (it is a mexican idiom) so I also didn't get all the meaning of the song at first and I had to look that word up What I found is that it comes from a mexican salve called Malinche and that she was an enabler for the spanish conquerors (even the lover to one of them)... so it's quite a heavy word their critics used, all because they choose to write their songs in english until this point And I mean, I get it, our ears are more acostumed to rock in english (except for the argentinian rock of the 80's ,like Soda Stereo, but Argentina was at war with the British at that time so...), and english is the dominant language nowdays... I don't see anyone criticizing kpopers and idols for havinmg english in their songs I don't like this thing about latam critics... they see one of our own being somewhat successful and they look for something to bring them down good for them to give them this "middle finger" BTW... ATRAS DE LAS COCINAS... I can't un-hear it now LOL

They wrote the song to call out Mexican people criticizing them for not singing in Spanish.

The song was written after Pau and the band were criticized for doing most of their songs in English. They were being narcissistic and kissing up to the Americans. Pau is singing front and center as a big middle finger to the critics. Pau could easily front the band but it's way too important to have her behind the drums. I always say, is anybody having more fun at a Warning concert than Pau? Oh, and you keep music nerding. Love the analysis. Right now my favorite song of theirs is Hell You Call a Dream, live, of course.

You are one of the few reactors that are both fun and informative! Well worth the watch as always!

Get used to the fact that the next song you listen to from The Warning is most likely your new favorite.

She usually sing this song behind the drums, in this case as a especial event she got down of the drums so one of her teachers play the drums. She also did this in their tour of 2022 when opening for Halestorm with Arejay Hale behind the drums. Yes, there is a track with a second guitar (played by Dany) There is a presentation with Eruca Sativa (an argentinan trio) in Monterrey where she get out of the drums to sing Olivia's Rodrigo "Brutal" The correct meaning is traitor to your culture. There were people critize them for writing only songs in english and their response were their first song in spanish being the middle finger to those people and critics.

They have a couple of songs that fit the "F-YOU" theme, of which "Animosity" has my favorite lyrics.

You are one of the few reactors that really have something interesting to share. Always fun and entertaining. Thanks for sharing!

She's a ball of dynamite on this performance. Love it so much.

Yes, they do use backing tracks on some songs. Sometimes that will include a 2nd guitar part. Sometimes it'll be keys or other sound effects. Sometimes backing vocals. It's all sounds recorded by the band and controlled through Ableton on a laptop attached to Pau's drum kit

Totally agree with the tiger kitten comparison 😂 great reaction !

For Pau’s ‘very special’ voice, you really should watch her solo cover of Creep (just Pau at their home piano). Brings us all to tears every time we listen

They perform their Spanish songs along with their English songs all over North America and Europe. No one gets off the hook, and we all love it! There is an After Movie with a German crowd chanting Otra! Otra! And Pau proudly says into the camera, "We got the people in Germany shouting Otra!" 😄

Most people eventually realize that their favorite The Warning song is the last one they listened too. Love your work. Keep it up.

Pau unleashed is always something to behold!

There's only one "Pau!". She is mesmerizing whether behind the kit, or as a front women! 🤘⚡🫶

"THE WARNING in our* opinion, are doing doing it right"

The rarest of occasions where the Teatro performance is not the definitive version. For me, this song just hits harder (literally) with Pau singing from behind the kit. Check out the pro-shot premier at Foro Didi. 🤘⚡️🤘

I hope you showed your wife this . She'd probably like it.

Tengo que agradecer a los Haters por esta canción, por que gracias a ellos por tanta crítica basura a the Warning, las chicas respondieron con una excelente composición "NARCISISTA", les respondieron con música de calidad! 🙃🤟🤘🇲🇽

The Warning - Revenant

The sisters make no bones about it. They use backing tracks where necessary. TW Rocks! I really appreciate your reactions of The Warning!

Two of Dany's influences are David Gilmour and Brian May , hence the bends .

You should react to the Foro Didi version at some point, so you can see Pau singing while beating the sh*t out of those drums. 😂

Two Guitars, no just Dany Guitar Magic. Using her Kemper Pedalboard she makes herself sound like 2 guitarists (something about a Harmonizer and an octave shift on the second signal). She briefly talks about it on this video "The Warning's Daniela Villarreal Vélez - GEAR MASTERS Ep. 471" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kMPWxinxmoI.html, Pau and Ale also have Gear Masters episodes.

You can tell Phill has a connection with Mexican culture by watching the ornaments in the back. Love it ❤️❤️❤️. He is actually trying to pay attention to the Spanish lyrics wich makes this reaction even more special. 🇲🇽

Song call "23" song It by Paulina Will make YOU cry!!

"I don't care, I'm starting over" Good for you. I hate those "reactor" people who just nod their head for 4 minutes and say, "that was good". I really like your analysis because I know little music theory and appreciate your insights.

You mention the difficulty of writing a "na na na" song - and I love that this is the only such song I know of where the "na na"s are not just rhythm, but meaningful lyrics. Thanks for your great and informative reactions.

The one where Dany shines a lot is hell you call a dream, in that song you can see her shine as the incredible front woman she is.

The Warning is 100% 🔥 !!!🎵ole ole ole oleeee Warning Warning🎵¡¡¡. Greetings from Argentina.

Y hay un dicho entre los fans de The Warning, tu canción favorita de The Warning siempre es la última que escuchas 🤟🏻

Same concert, just look for the song "23". Its a fucking rock ballad from TW! THE VOICE FROM PAULINA ITS....SUPERB!

You need to check out 23 from the same show.

The song was created by Pau in response to criticism from people in Mexico accusing them of not singing in Spanish despite being a Mexican band. This was the first song in Spanish giving them their response xD.

They made this song after some music critic in Mexico accused them of "selling out" for singing most of their songs on english. Yeah, like how dare they try to get a wider audience!

Pau wrote this song as a response to some in the Mexican press saying that they were traitors to their culture, when in fact they never miss an opportunity in interviews to say that they are Mexican.

I usually shy away from reaction videos over like 12-15 minutes or so, but you kept me engaged the whole time. I'm sure others have mentioned, but you should do 23 next. My personal favorite is another gem thats in spanish called Martirio, I'm sure you'd love it too.

100% on the challenge of writing the second verse. I have a song it took me literally 10 years to find the second verse of. The Warning’s 2nd verse switch-ups are master-class.

Really appreciate you breaking down the songs from your unique perspective. I love The Warning and get a great amount of joy watching others experience them. 64 y.o. and just love the revival of rock from these gals.

They actually have no bad song from what I’ve heard from them which is really a feat. They have an extensive catalog and all songs are well written. My favorite ones are CHOKE and SURVIVE. I hope somewhere down this rabbit hole you get to react to one or both of them. Great reaction as always!

The Warning are 3 sisters who are all music prodigies, they combine being very instinctive and natural gifted towards music to also be excelent learners with immense artistic courage and very hard working with great working and personal ethics. They are a full package. That they also won the genetic lotery and are all good looking and effortlessly charismatic is the icing on the cake.

XXI century blood video is an award winning Warning video

YES !! MORE OF THE WARNING !!!

Thanks for the fun and illuminating breakdown. This concert was kind of a big deal for them, they brought out some of their teachers and mentors, like Beto Ramos and Ale’s bass teacher Pablo Gonzales Sarre and another guitarist friend, Pliego Villarreal (same last name, not related.) to play on a couple songs. It was highest production show for them at the time in a historic opera house in Mexico City. Thanks for the great reaction video.

I'll never be able to stop thinking in "DETRAS DE LAS COCINAS" whenever i'll hear this song in the future!!!!

Dude this is not just a reaction, it's an amazing and well done deep analysis of the song, from the composition, the song writting, to the staging of it. Really good job! Looking foward for more videos like this, it doesn't matter the artist, of course I'd like to hear what you have to say about TW, they got me really bad a few years ago with their first album, but I'll stay in tune for other bands too, really cool style and charisma. You kick ass! Hope the channel go huge, you earned a new fan. And yeah, you can go eyes closed with this sisters, all of their work is good stuff 🤘

She explained it so well. The short version is "Race Traitor" for singing almost all songs in English. They are too nice to double down on making fun of Spanish speaking critics (fans). Like Never!! Just a Na-Na-Na (thumb on nose fingers up) P.S. Pau's Drum Coach stand-in Beto Ramos, also was the sound engineer for this concert. He killed that too. Everyone loves the sound and lighting of this concert in Mexico City, (3,000 people).

You really need to see Pau behind the piano. Black Holes at Dakota Bar is amazing and she's 15!. Love your reactions. The first time I heard them as adults I loved it, but couldn't figure out why. They are very subtle in their sophistication. Everything that I thought they reminded me of (Joan Jett, Heart, Green Day, the Offspring, Muse) I went back and listened to and they are much more modern.

I can't get "Atras de las cocinas" out of my head. This is what the lyrics are in my head now. 😂

That motivational poster reference is 🔥. Also now you know why this song has been part of their setlist since it came out, even for non-Spanish speaking countries and those fans will sing it in Spanish still. Some Mexicans were accusing them of being traitors because at that point all of their songs were in English and as a reply, Pau wrote their first song in Spanish to give them the middle finger, epic!

"And though she be little, she is fierce." --Helena from Shakespeare's Mid Summer Night's Dream obviously talking about Pau.

These ladies always bring the energy! You are going to love Martirio. ⚡⚡⚡

This song is just fire. Love Pau commanding the stage. BTW I really appreciate your analysis of the music. Very nice job.

Phil you just got posted in under a minute my friend. You’ve been WARNED and You are LOVED!! ⚡️❤️⚡️

I absolutely loved this reaction. I don't speak any Spanish, but learned the history of this song after seeing the Foro Didi concert video which was the premier of Narcisista. I highly recommend you watch that version of your current favorite song!

They did this at the Mercury Lounge in NY with Jay de la Cueva also on guitar. Dany played her usual solo and Jay played a very long one. It had a real Iron Maiden feel with the dueling lead guitars. Definitely listen to 23 from this concert next. You'll love it.

"... and she's the drummer!" ... Phil, you know better, she's that and soooo much more. ;)

This is the best Fuck You rock song ever written.

“Which song can take the crown as Phil favorite the warning song” Pick anyone, thats easy, and the next will be also your favorite.

Wait till you listen to their other song in Spanish “Martirio” to me that song is a masterpiece and they played it in this very concert 😊

I'm looking forward to your reaction of "Choke." It has 6 distinct motifs: 3 verses (all of which are completely musically different), killer guitar riff, pre-chorus, chorus, AND a bridge. It's brilliant!

History will see Pau as a prodigy, drummer, singer, composer, songwriter, entertainer Your kidding me

Respect for bringing your drum coach in to play this one. And Beto Ramos slayed it. They all look like they are having such a a blast.

Dude, you have to see Pau not only singing, but also playing the drums in this song!! Is super awesome!!

Another great reaction! ⚡️⚡️⚡️🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

Might I suggest, while you're in the rabbit hole, that you check out XXI Century Blood next? It's one of my favorites and they were 17, 15, and 12 when they released that song.

I am a native Spanish speaker, and I didn't know what the word "malinchista" meant. It is a very Mexican word. This song was the first time I had heard it. But as you said, really makes all the difference in why they wrote the lyrics the way they did! VIVA THE WARNING!!!!!!

I too am a huge Phil Zero fan! Keep rockin to The Warning!

At 11:24 Pau completes a heart with an audience member(fan cams show it the guy was close to fainting) but Ale and Dany both smiled in the next few frames for that reason. I agree Pau is a beast no doubt. To quote one of my favorite movies she may be small but she is strong her first baby came out sideways and she didn't scream or nothin. 🤣 edit: ironically this is one of the few songs that Mony(mama) helped write. Also I keep seeing people reacting and saying in a roundabout way but not realizing that The Warning has their own unique sound...they are creating their own genre of rock imo which does not happen very often. Ironically the Mexican press is embracing them now as the new rock godesses of Mexican rock.

Calling her “Pau”! You really are going down The Warning rabbit hole! It’s a good one my man!

The last line is "Condenada narcisista" "damned narcissist". This song elevates The Warning to a top band. They have others, too, that you've noticed or will soon.

Yes. I love the analysis! If you want to continue breaking things down to a "music nerd" level, I feel a musician myself, who isn’t primarily a vocalist, you’ll notice things I wouldn't, and teach a "non-musician" and myself something. You break it down easily enough to understand and, who knows, may give someone the confidence to pick up an instrument or start singing that may never have. And that’s beautiful. Viva The Warning! ❤🫶

Phil, we will gladly play by YOUR rules here !!!!! Really enjoy what you do !!!

Great reaction! These sisters are overwhlemingly talented!! Pau is a nuclear reactor! Awesome song with a powerful message! They are the best power trio of XXI century! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

If you want their heaviest song, Queen of the Murder Scene is a must, obviously from the same concert you've been reacting to 🤘

Nice Reaction! Yes, Pau is bundle of energy for sure. When all 3 are interviewed, poor Ale can't hardly get a word in sometimes. Wait until you hear Pau's voice when she sings one of the ballads she has written. A whole other side to her voice. (Revenant @ Teatro)

Hola Phil, greetings from Venezuela, very good reaction as always, thank you, Pau playing front woman is amazing, the drummer who replaces her is her drum teacher Beto Ramos. I recommend that you see, even if you don't react to it, "Narcicista (Live Foro DiDi Monterrey)" (it's my favorite) so that you can see Pau in his environment 🤟, in that presentation it was the debut of that song.

The girls use backing tracks, and like someone's said before, they're not shy about it. That's what gives us that big wall of sound. These ladies are awesome. Some musicians never get to this level with way more years behind them. 10 incredible years behind them have given us this and I wonder what they'll gives us in the next 10 years...
