THE WARNING "DUST TO DUST" (LIVE) Old Rock Radio DJ REACTS!! 

Pau has just been officially voted Drumero Rock Drummer of the Year. Absolutely rightly so.

Rock is not dead; just moved to Mexico! ❤

This is the opening to _Queen of the Murder Scene,_ a concept album that tells the story of a girl going from unrequited love to obsession, stalking, murder, and then the battle against her evil side for her soul. And after this reaction, I am subbing!

Bands like this exist, and we get Usher at the Super Bowl. Too bad the "mainstream" doesn't know what real music is.

Pau is REALLY at her best on more sensitive material. Listen to 23, Breathe, and Revenant to understand how great Pau is as a singer. Also, listen to her sing Radiohead's Creep solo at the piano. It may be the best of all of the many covers of this classic song. The Warning may be the best songwriting band ever. If you look at their mature period beginning with the Queen of the Murder scene, ever single song is worth a listen. You and I will have our favorites, but you'll never hear a bad song or a filler. The Beatles have a catalog of great songs, but I don't think every song they did after they becaume popular was really a winner. And as time went by, how much was The Beatles and how much was George Martin. What they do share with The Beatles is writing songs swith hooks or earworms that you find yourself singing in the shower or humming while folding your laundry. There are or were more technically adept bands (Rush, Band Maid) but very few of there songs give you something to sing or hum on your own.

That's the Warning, the perfect combination : influences, creativity, intensity, passion, but at the same time delicacy and melody. I've never heard a band that brings it all together at the same time. That's why i say that they can unify all generations and all "labels" of Rock.

Ale actually came up with the bass riff that led to them writing this song. It is the first song of their concept album Queen of the Mudrder Scene. Wtitten, performed and released when they were 13. 16 and 18.

Edward “Lalo” Plaza is their sound engineer normally and is listed as the Production Manager for this show and if you see TW live at most shows, he and the sister’s father Luis are responsible for that wall of sound. However, I believe that Beto Ramos is the gentleman that deserves the recognition for the audio production as he is credited as the Sound Mixer & Master of this concert, as it pertains to the videos released. Beto is an excellent drummer in his own right (the band Jumbo and 6x Latin Grammy winner for production) and actually sits in for Pau in this concert when she goes up front to sing the song Narcisista in Spanish. Beto is a drum mentor to Pau and Pau credits him with first suggesting and then helping her learn and setup the Ableton software they use onstage.

That's two reactions in a row that your philosophical musings have resonated on a molecular level with me. 🤯 🎉🎉🎉🎯 I find myself agreeing with everything you say. Fun fact: most The Warning songs begin with that incredible bundle of energy (Pau) on a piano pulling the melody and rhythm from the Aether. Great job again. I'm 63 years old next week and apart from the supergroups I grew up with like The Beatles, Pink Floyd and Queen I have never been so enraptured by a group. Great job sir. I LOVE THIS BAND !! ✌️💖🎼

I love how The Warning compose their music exactly in this balance you are talking about: how they play the music, how they sing - it is all about the song and it's meaning and not to make anyone stand out or show off insane technical skills. I don't doubt they have the technical skill, they just place the music first.

Paulina is destined to be on the Mt Rushmore of singing drummers! The opening track to an amazing concept album!

"Harmonize" together with "The Warning" results in a song name: Revenant. Distinct, almost instrumental, another one where the lead vocals come from Pau and are supported by the angelic harmonies of Dany and Ale. It always brings a tear to my eye.

This is the song that made me a The Warning fan. Specifically, the youtube clip of their live performance at the Lunario in Mexico City in 2018 (yes, more than five years ago). It absolutely blew me away. Only later did I learn that Ale wrote most of the music for this song, particularly that hypnotic bass line, when she was, like, 13.

A few days ago my wife chided me about becoming a "groupie" in my 70's. I corrected her on that by telling her that, no, I've become a fanboy in my 70's. First time since I saw the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 when I was 14. And you are absolutely correct about the drive and energy of this song (and every song they do) corralled within almost perfect musical technique.

This is what has been missing for so long, and to come through three young sisters is just plain insane!! I love everything they do. Impeccable!!

gr8 reaction ... yeah you already have a deep understanding of what you are witnessing ... they are a once in a millenium treasure ... they compliment themselves so well ... namaste from canada ... r0ck 0n ... twa ... \m/

I think this is still my favorite song. I love all the warning songs, but I still think this is my favorite. It’s just a masterpiece in composition, singing, harmony, music I love it.

💥Pau💥 that's your Rock Drummer of the year at the 2023 Drumeo Awards . Yep... I loved your comments & break down of this sound & band.. truly extraordinary. Thanks for bringing awareness to this awesome band. 🤘🎶☮️

To paraphrase St. Lemmy: “They are The Warning. They play ROCK N ROLL!” Amen. I don’t know what’s better The Warnings music or your breakdowns of it. Ok, it’s The Warning of course! But hey, you’re right there with them so kudos! 😂 Anyway, I love your reaction/reviews. Best on You Tube. Keep on rockin & keep on The Warning.

Another great analysis. My favourite group next to Nightwish. Pau always blows me away, she is all power and emotion in your face. Dani is perfect as a front woman and guitarist, obviously very talented and her vocals have matured over the years. Both Dani and Pau are to the fore, they easily draw me in. Then there is Ale. On stage she is more the introvert as far as voice goes, mostly keeps to the background but having watched her over time including videos where they are at home, playful and relaxed, Ale isn't shy in any way. Her 'quietness' if I may call it that adds to her mystery. Yet, when one really listens, one hears brilliance on the bass, almost lost in the 'chaos' and 'power' around her. This group of exceptional song writers, vocalists and musicians are needed right now to keep the heart and soul of rock 'n roll alive. They draw upon their influences and mix to merge in a modern day anthem of brilliance. Also, their humbleness and ability to connect with their fans is awesome. Very rare. They live their music. Cheers, Rich

Dany, Pau and Ale have the utmost trust in each other. They know that each of them will do their parts to perfection. There are no distractions- just balance and perfection.

The Warning Dany - lead guitar player and lead vocals Pau - drummer and lead vocals Ale - bass and backup vocals Triumph Rik - lead guitar and lead vocals Gil - drummer and lead vocals Mike - bass and backup vocals All six are super talented musicians

At the beginning when Pau starts signing you can see she plays with one hand while she fixes something with her left hand, without missing a beat and signing at the same time. What a pro. 🤯

Just an awesome song and performance. If you want more of Pau singing lead, check out "23". ⚡⚡⚡

Eric you are by far one of my favorite reactors. Hard to believe you don't have 100k subs or higher. Love your TW reactions.

*Dust to Dust* *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... it follows her battles between good and evil over her soul... the Spanish speaking part is their manager, Rudy, playing the part of a preacher at the funeral... translated to English, this is what he says... Brother! Salvation is something that is earned! Let go of your hand of resentment and Wake up to a new light within you Although your brothers try Plunge into the darkness DPA/TW's _"Queen of the Murder Scene"_ (aka QOTMS) is one of those concept 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... their performance of it at Lunario was the first time the album was presented in full to the public... it had been released over time in chapters of three songs... i like Lunario because it was the first public performance, the animations on the big screen behind Pau, and the girls were in character... others prefer their presentation of QOTMS at another venue for various reasons... as a concept album, many of us members of TWA can easily see QOTMS 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

Watching the review as I type this but just gotta say they call her Pow for a reason.

Great reaction! Absolutely EPIC live performance!! These sisters are overwhelmingly talented! They are the best power trio of XXI century! Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

Thanks, love this song. 🤟 It has a permanent place in my top 5 The Warning songs. 🔥 Grtz from The Netherlands

If I'm not mistaken, Ale said Dust To Dust is the song on this record she contributed to the most. The bass lines are beautiful.

Great reaction and analysis! I think some people outside of TWA might question why Pau was nominated and voted Drumeo’s 2023 Rock Drummer of the Year (against some tough competition), but you touched on it when you mentioned only a handful of famous drummers who could sing lead while playing flawlessly. Throw in the fact that she is the initial songwriter and composer for the majority of their original songs and it is evident that she has a rare skill set. Plus, she is just fun to watch performing. 👍😎

Hi, excellent reaction. As for rock, wait until you reaches the song Dull Knifes... ⚡🤘⚡🤘⚡🤘

Mr Clark, your body language during the song was enough to get me to like and subscribe! I also get a physical reaction when listening/watching DPA. Usually tears, often a huge smile, I even sit quietly wondering if what I just heard/saw is even humanly possible! Something happens to ME, through THEM! I'm in it till the end! Long Live DPD, The Warning 🤘⚡🫶

Great reaction! Excellent commentary. Pau sings lead on about 20% of their songs (about 10 songs out of 50) and co-lead/backup/harmony on most of the rest. They are sisters so when they sing together they have that "family" voice blend that is always amazing. It is always chilling when the three of them sing together. Also, they work on their vocals and all of them can sing in different styles and voices. Dany can go from a rock growl to a pop voice. Pau can sing sweetly or roughly and rip your heart out either way. Ale can sing anything her sisters can including lead, although she does not like the spotlight.

What an awesome reaction!! That makes me appreciate these "Musicians" so much more!! Thank you 👏🏽👏🏽 ⚡️THE WARNING⚡️

The mixing on these performances is top notch. Great performance

The entire concert that this song is from is just as impressive. Each song sounds different and each song stands on it's own. Dany the guitar player and lead vocalist (80% of their songs) is stellar and actually getting better. Pau, voted Drumeo's rock drummer of 2023 and can sing the hell out a song in either trading vocals with Dany as this song has and also her stand alone leads (23 from this show), and Ale, the pulse that drives the band as well as backing vocals. I'm 66 and have never seen a power trio that has all of these qualities that TW possess. Thank you taking the time to watch and react, TWA appreciates all of your insights and remarks...you get it! 👑💖✨🔥⚡🚀🤘🏽

Created by three girls 17,15, 12. The future is truly bright.

Their effect is indeed hard to put into words.

Hey Eric, love your eloquent and detailed reactions. You, like The Warning, ROCK! 🤩🤘⚡

I can still never figure out why she isn't gassed after that spoken word breakdown while she's furiously drumming and then transitions into that soft singing. Her cardio must be off the charts.

Redundancy. Yes. I’ve run out of words to describe The Warning. I sound like a broken record or in a loop in my words of praise. I have used ‘helicopter’ to describe Pau. There are moments with Pau drumming where her arms are a blur, like the rotors of a chopper.

Excellent reaction

The Warning plays lots of different ways, but in the end it is still, paraphrasing someone, pure, total, absolut rock n roll.

Damn. Very eloquent. You said what i think, but better. Well done!!

It's seems being able to play the drums well means you have to split your brain in to four parts, one of each limb as they're doing different things. Then you add singing to it, and breathing. Pau is absolutely brilliant in what she does!

With the amount of _really good_ songs they've recorded, they're in a creative realm with the best of the best.

As others have already commented, this song is from the girls' concept album, Queen Of The Murder Scene released in 2018. The album's songs were WRITTEN when Ale, Pau and Dany were 12, 15 and 17 years old, respectively. That means that the basslines you're hearing were created by a PRE-TEEN. Ponder that for a moment! When asked in a 2022 interview, Ale confirmed that, not only is this song's bassline her favorite that she's come up with, but also that she's responsible for the bulk of the song's composition. Again, think about that for a minute! A 12-YEAR-OLD basically wrote it! Mind boggling!

Dany singing the long note at the end while at the same time playing the guitar riff is impressive. These ladies are just incredible.

I would really be interested for you to watch their interview with Allison Hagendorf to hear you thoughts, so if you ever be interested in reacting to stuff like that, I'm there.

It's even more impressive that the album this song is from was written and recorded when they were 17, 15 and 12 years old, or even younger as far as the writing goes. Agree their sound man does a fabulous job.

What i like about the warning is it's heavy but not offensive no bad language, violence in tone... It's just nice clean rock and they look so happy and cheerful and that comes across

Thank you again for this, your reactions are like poetry to my ears, and thank you for continuing with TW, these sisters are incredible in what they do, the result of a lot of hard work, dedication and love for what they do. 🤘⚡

If you really want to blow your mind, think about how old they were when they wrote this song. This is from their second album, a concept album called Queen of the Murder Scene, and Dust to Dust is the prelude to the story that unfolds in the album. When this album was released, Danywas 18, Pau was 16, and Ale was just 13. They wrote these incredible songs when they were just teenagers. Talent doesn't even begin to cover it. Gifted would be a better word. ⚡

Pau is also the main songwriter. She writes on the piano. Her lyrics are deep. Her drumming is top-notch. She also programs all the Ableton Live tracks. Pau is a genius.

I appreciate your thoughts on this song but more importantly the band overall and couldn't agree more. I'm a rocker from way back and TW have brought me back to my roots. I don't care how they are labeled I like what they do and how they write their music with meaningful lyrics including the hooks and riffs which are excellent. They are fun to watch because they have so much fun performing it's contagious AF. Thank you this was very enlightening and smart. 🤘

Want some facts that will blow your mind? Ok, 1. This song is from Alejandra(bass) and funny you mentioned the perfect timing because Alejandra has perfect pitch and also she's a human metronome(according to Pau). 2. This song was composed when Alejandra was 12/13 years old. 3. This is the prologue for their second album Queen of the Murder Scene a conceptual album arranged and composed when they we're 13(Ale), 15(Pau) and 17(Dany). cool right?!

Dude, your reactions are off the charts amazing! If feels like you’re in my head. You get it. You put into words what I’ve been noticing but unable to articulate. Bravo. Please do more of The Warning, you will not be disappointed.

Perfect reaction!

The Warning Army welcome you, Eric! Subs deserved... The Warning ROCKS!

First song and prologue of the Album Queen of the murder scene released in 2018 . Ale wrote the bass line when she was about 12 Ale has the perfect pitch she is the human metronome (Pau said in a masterclass she diid Ale sometimes scares her because she is always on time It's Beto Ramos former pau's drum teacher who made the sound mixing and mastering of the show

You owe it to yourself to check out Disciple live at Teatro CDMX. Pau throws down a great fill while singing at full throttle. It is a banger that if just absolute fire!

Brann Dailor from Mastodon is also another massive drummer who does vocal duties as well. Maybe not as incredible as Pau but nonetheless he is also great.

I honestly believe The Warning will single-handedly bring rock music back to main stream status. Yes, there are other good rock bands out there but none of them seem to have that “it” factor of which The Warning obviously have. I say this because I personally know of several people who have never liked rock music, or even considered listening to it, end up liking and following The Warning. LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!

Great reaction and analysis! And I'm SOOOO in tune with you on the whole "if it rocks, it's rock" idea. Looking forward to the next one!

Hey Eric, Dust to Dust is the first song (Prologue) to The Warning second album, called Queen Of The Murder Scene. This album is a concept album written by pre-/mid-teens (Ale, Pau & Dany). Pau came with the idea, when Dany and Ale show the first outline, both said "Wow, so much blood, less fix that".And, that is the way they work, all 3 of them work together on everything, lyrics, drum fills, bass lines, guitar riffs - and they are very opinionated, so 2 votes win. Ale has said Dust to Dust is song with her biggest fingerprint. Dany sings the last notes, because cannot reach these notes, so they seamlessly switch. You are right about it being rock - they mix genres as they please - in QOTMS, they actually incorporate K-pop elements, Chearleader Punk, Punk, Heavy metal (the title song QOTMS for example) Hard rock and more ... the whole album was a key change experiment for them.

A power trio for the new century 🤘😎

Great reaction and comments Eric....glad I found your channel and have subscribed. The sisters refer to Ale (Bass) as a human metronome...she is the ultimate time keeper. There is simply insurmountable talent on display here. Viva The Warning!!! ⚡⚡⚡⚡

Suggest having a look at the original live performance of this song on 25 Nov 2018, at a venue called Lunario which is also in Mexico City. It was also recorded off the board (as opposed to someone's cellphone). It's not mixed as well as this and they're not quite as polished (close though!), but it does go to your question about when they gelled as a 3-piece rock band - it was before 25 November 2018!

Pau practices her breath control by singing while jogging on a treadmill.

*_THE WARNING !!!!!_* Keeping ROCK & ROLL alive!!!!!

I saw a Vlog of the sisters yesterday and Pau spoke to how difficult this song, "Dust to Dust" is for her to play.

Pau is just a monster behind the kit. A wild machine.

Pau of The Warning is the 2023 Drummer of the Year

In order to manage this insane breath control singing lead while assaulting the drums, Pau sings while running on the treadmill. These ladies put in the work. And they have for a decade. Best technical reaction video I've seen. Nailed.

Ale the bass player is the time keeper. She has perfect timing and pitch.

I have always thought that Ale has the groove of John McVie, in addition to JPJ and Entwistle. They have a wonderful ability to pull together the best of rock over the past 50 years and roll into their own sound which is both familiar AND new.

Y ahora tienes que escucharla con unos buenos audífonos ⚡️⚡️⚡️

Im so glad you mentioned Ginger Baker. I myself hear Ginger in a lot of Pau's playing. Ginger never gets enough credit because Cream had Bruce and Clapton. But Ginger was phenomenal

Eric, the fact that you don’t have a million plus subs is criminal! Sadly those who act like clowns with all fluff and no stuff and absolutely no music knowledge are what a short attention span majority of people gravitate towards. Thank you for your well thought out and insightful analysis of the first band to get me excited about new music in decades!

Great reaction! Love this band ❤

Enjoyed your reaction and review of The Warning Dust to Dust. The warning rabbit hole is deep. I'm sure The Warning army will fill you in on their history. 10 years worth. It's long and distinguished 🤟🤟🤟

A few years ago Pau could pick up singing for Dany in mid-verse and you couldn't tell the difference. Their voices have grown to be different now.

Great reaction you've been Warned 🤘

Ale is the metronome for the band . During rehearsals Ale keeps the other 2 in time . . Danny and Pau both aknowledge this . . Even on stage if they stray of by a little shel get them back . . . Have subbed . . .twa . .

Omg you mentioned Imani Coppola, I have had her CD "Chupucabra" for over 25 years now, and I have never heard anyone else ever mention her.

I'll always consider Dust to Dust as one of The Warning's crown jewels - the first all-original song I saw by The Warning was a performance of Dust to Dust at the Whiskey A Go Go. I was stunned, numb - for me Ale's bass line is up there with AIC's Would as one of the best bass lines in rock. And, I like the thesaurus idea - the girls have a lot of amazing performances

This is the most next-level analysis of a Warning song I've ever heard. I could've not said it better myself, and in this case, I mean it. Thanks for a very informative and entertaining reaction.

You are absolutely right in saying that rock is rock. The girls are asked what genre they identify with and they say, we just play rock!

That’s Rock n Roll. Yeah, that’s exactly how I felt and feel when I listen to The Warning. ✌🏻😎

You eloquently described what I was struggling to verbalize. I love, respect and admire the Warning. What a gift we’ve all been given.

You are correct again. They are rock! You can't pigeonhole it, because everything they do is different. They draw from so many influences and let the song go where it needs to go, instead of trying to force it into something it's not. They don't care if it is rock, or if it's punk, or if it's pop. It is what it is. And yeah, Ale is scary good. And her sisters know it. They both fear 'the look' she gives when they mess up. And she always catches the mistakes. It's one of the reasons Ale doesn't like singing. She is too critical of her own talents. The dark side of having perfect pitch. As for the sound on this video. The whole show is like this. It is the most recent gold standard of what a live concert video should be. I'd really love to see you react to 'Sinister Smiles' ACOUSTIC from Autentico Hotel. The sound is amazing, and so is the performance. Another one that really highlights Dani's pipes.

Eureka moment - I believe was this entire concert (Teatro Met 2022). You can see it in their faces throughout - they just know they are in the groove, the pocket of 'who they are'. And if you watch the end credits of the concert, you can see Pau, her back to the audience, Ale with her arm around her - and Pau is crying softly. THIS is their EUREKA MOMENT. They are musicians, they are talented, and they are loved

Fantastic reaction/analysis/breakdown Eric! 👊☺️

It's easy to run out of superlatives to describe this band bacause The Warning is just so awesomagnifamazing.

And that's why Pau was voted Best Up and Coming Drummer 2023 and Best Rock Drummer 2023 😉😄🤘

Really can't get enough of these sisters. Without a doubt my favorite rock group from the past 20 years. Really, really interested to see where they're at in the next few years ahead.

The Warning had another great honor this past Friday. They were on the Shiprocked cruise and did a set Monday and Friday afternoon. The cruise closes with an all star jam session. The Warning and Steel Panther were chosen to close the cruise with Highway to Hell as the shows encore. The last minute or so they were joined on stage by members of many of the bands on the cruise.

This song is the prologue to Queen Of The Murder Scene. It takes place at the protagonists funeral, and is narrated by her (Pau). She invites the listener to hear her tale of destruction, and warns not to follow her example. Dany portrays the side of her that descends into madness. Her wail at the end is her soul leaving her body.

The song that sent me down The Warning rabbit hole 3 yrs ago. ⚡️🤘
