The Warning - NARCISISTA - Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX | Reaction 

you won't see it at a concert, but Pau's cover of Creep is a can't miss. Keep it up!

Pau’s response to local media in Mexico that basically said they were wrong for singing in English and not Spanish. Don’t make Pau mad or she will write a song about you

"Malinchista" is a Mexican prejorative aimed at "cultural traitors". La Malinche was an Aztec woman who assisted the Spanish Conquistadors in the conquest of the Aztec Empire. She helped the invaders destroy her people. Imagine aiming that term at children. This song was Pau's response.

That Drummer is Beto Ramos, Paulina's Drum Teacher

The fact its in Spanish doesnt take away from how fkn awesome it is . . . . Never understood a word . . Just rocked out to the music . . . Oh i knew the na na na bits lol

That's Beto Ramos, Pau's teacher. And the end of the chorus is "condenada narcisista!" Meaning, "damn narcisist!" The band was catching flack from people for writing all their songs in English so Pau was like, "Ok, take this then." And it was done with respect and everyone loved it and removed the complaints but with nothing but pure Pau confidence and power. Pauer, if you will. ;) As a "gringo" please correct me if I'm mistaken, but that's what I've come to understand. :) All the love to The Warning and fellow The Warning Army members!

Now You Know Why Paulina Is Ms. PUH PAU !!! She Can Excite You She Can Make You Cry She Will Make You Defend Her... When The Nay Sayers Come Out.... She Is Perfection !!! 10 Songs In Young Lady I Think You Get It !!! From Were I Sit It Goes Like This !!! Dany... The Commander. In Complete Control At All Times !!! Ale The Crusher Of All Things Bass Snacks And Super Models. She Never Ever Misses A Bass Line !!! Paulina... She's Simply Ms. PUH PAU !!! You Are On Your Way To A Life Changing Concert !!! I Assure You It Will Be PUH PAU !!!

A very rare treat seeing Pau out from behind her drums. Beto Ramos is Pau 's drum teacher.

Beto Ramos is Pau's drum teacher, mentor. He is a double Latin Grammy nominated drummer with a band of his own. The Warning had to restructure Narcisista to accommodate Beto's solo in the middle. Its not part of the original song. Incredible how tight these 4 talented musicians were. Ciudad de Mexico is what she said when addressing the crowd. Ciudad = city + de = of + Mexico or Mexico City as we say it in English. Here is a link to their premiere of Narcisista in 2019 with English captions ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6Ay4RqhQB0I.html&ab_channel=RandomMusic%40TheWarning

Pau was always a superstar in the making. She did a couple of performances prior to this one where she was the frontwoman on stage. But every other time they came on stage with another band already performing. Ale and Dany plugged into the other band's amps. But since Pau is a drummer, she was the one without an instrument to play. So it made sense that she was up front, the one person out. But she also showed what she could do when unleashed and the fans responded to it. Dany has always encouraged her to do things like this. IDK, maybe it was her idea. Also, they wanted to showcase the talents of the people who served as their mentors, including Beto Ramos, Pau's drum teacher who plays with the band Jumbo. He used to be in a band called Los Claxons with Ale's bass teacher, Pablo Gonzalez, who was also the teacher who nudged them to try writing their own songs. They wanted to give those important people in their lives a public thank you in a way that would expose their talents to a worldwide audience. They obviously planned this show for a long time and they pulled it off spectacularly. Yes, the song was at the end of the second set. They had two encore songs, Maritiro and Evolve, that followed. Narcisista was their answer to their critics, essentially flipping all of them the bird for criticizing them by writing a song in Spanish. For the record, they write songs in English because they are more comfortable doing that. They learned Rock music by listening to English language songs. Yet, they are extremely proud of their heritage and they have had a long association with other Mexcian musicians as they were learning their craft. Musicians tend to know one another, especially in their local community. Fun fact, though, they struggled writing this song in Spanish to the point that they needed an assist from their mother to check it over to make sure the song made sense and was grammatically correct. They have since composed another song in Spanish, Martirio, which is my favorite song. And I believe they intend to continue writing some of their songs in Spanish whenever they have the inspiration. Over this past weekend, they participated as presenters at the MTV Latin American Awards. Obviously, they want to be successful in reaching fans all over the world.

At this Teatro Metropolitan concert they did a costume change half way through the show. They started off in black outfits, then switched to white. When they walked off at the end of Narcisita, it was the last song before a two song encore.

Pau said in spanish "People of mexico make a lot of noise for our very dear friend Beto Ramos" He's one of the former Pau's drum teacher. and also a the former drummer of the Klaxons, the band of Pablo Gonzalez-Sarre ale's bass teacher and who is the man who learned and encourage the warning to write their own songs

Pau credits her mom, Monica with helping her with the lyrics in Narcisista.

This song was in response(actually an FU) to their critics in the Mexican media who condemned them for writing all their songs in English. Beto Ramos was Pau's drum teacher. I read or heard in an interview that Mony acutally was a ghost writer on this one.😉

Pau U.N.L.E.A.S.H.E.D.!!! TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

This was a great song at the concert. Pau actually physically reacted with a member of the audience too. They form Hearts with their hands. A guy in the audience did half a heart with one hand and Pau completed it(5:33) with her hand. It is not shown in the video, but immediately after, Dany and Ale are all SMILES because of it(5:35). When you watch the full Teatro Metropolitan CDMX concert, you will see it.

The original live debut of this song at Foro Didi is a top 3 moment for the band. To watch Pau clap back at the critics that attacked these young girls (4 years ago) as "cultural traitors" is amazing. They released the song as a stand alone single because they couldn't wait for an album to get out the message. Pau had something to get off her chest, and she did.

The seisters are world class musicians!! Pau is an amazing drummer, singer and song writer! This spanish song is a strong respose to the critics that called them cultural traitors (Malinchistas) for singing in english. Awesome! The drummer is Pau's drum teacher Beto Ramos Viva The Warning!! ⚡⚡⚡

It's so funny cause I find myself repeating "they're so cool" over and over every time I watch them. Just jaw dropped joy and awe 😊

Disciple live at Teatro is a must watch.

Seeing Pau come out front and singing lead is a personal dream come true .This is what i envisioned happening quite a few years ago .

0:30 God bless you, Mark Pride for the AMAZING MEXICAN GODDESSES OF ROCK!

This is a rare occasion, as usually Pau sings this from behind the drum kit, except in rare occasion where they would invite the drummer from the opening band or the band they opened for to join.

There are 2 TEDx shows. They did one in 2016 and the response was so positive they were invited back for 2017. They did 3 songs for each but the spoken parts between songs are well worth listening to whether you react to them or not. I was struck by their intelligence and how much insight into life they already had. Have fun on your journey and at the concert. 🎉

The Warning is deservedly recognized as excellent lyricists (among many other things, of course) and the instrumentation always goes accordingly, rounding off each melody with genius, making them masterpieces of true art. But in "Narcisista" the riffs and the guitar solo, the bass line, the different rhythms and "attacks" of the drums, the melodic structure of course, are so excellent that if we put all this on a quality scale the lyrics and theme will be below in comparison. It had to be said… I suppose it was because the message had to be specific, yes... but they "surrounded" it with really sublime and powerful rock music. Thanks and greetings from México!! 🤘😁✌️

TedX performances are each 3-song sets with the girls talking between songs, not an interview. The second TedX is an incredible video.

Excellent my friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You REALLY need to squeeze Disciple into that list before the show. It’s a banger and they’ve been opening the shows on this tour with this one. Plus it’s one of the best live vids. Lots of vocal trade offs between Dany and Pau.

I'm really enjoying your reactions of The Warning. I give a thumbs up before hearing you say a word.

Pau is a beast behind and in front of the drums! Thanks for all of the reactions your amazing.

Ashlena please don't miss watching the version of Narcissista live from Foro Didi. That was the first performance they did of this song live and I think its just as good as this one.

one of the most pointed f us in music history!

This is the greatest F you rock song ever written.

Pau drum-less is a force of nature. Love them ❤

Paulina unleashed! Like a nuclear bomb going off! I can see why their neighbors complained when they were children playing Rock Band in their living room. Rock is Alive. Long Live DPA 🤟⚡️🫶

That Benito on drums. Her drum teacher.

@1:12 just one more hint for your list, is Disciple, which I can guarantee they will play at your show. Can't wait!

Love your reactions! You epitomize my journey. When I saw them the first time I was obsessed. Finally seeing them live Tuesday in Cincinnati and I'm so excited! Can't wait! Keep up the awesome work and enjoy your trip down the rabbit hole! :)

I believe someone actually called Pau a narcisist in a mexican critical review, or words to that effect. So yea.... Pau is someone you never want to call out or criticize in a way that isn't positive and helpful, because you'll go down in history as the subject of a song. The same thing happened with Animosity... it's written by Pau about a personal relationship/friendship gone bad, ironically about someone saying Pau spent too much time with the band rehearsals, rather than socializing with that friend.

The guest drummer is Victor Ramos one of Pau's drum teachers in another song they have Ale's bass teacher play with them only bad thing about that is that Ale' doesn't sing the song. This concert had a wardrobe change in it and a Encore' so this was the break for one of the 2 I can't remember what one it was though. Oh you said you're going to do the Ted Talk, to be clear there are 2 Ted Talks that they did one in 2016 and the other in 2017. the 2017 one is the one with the song Survive in it. You Have Been Warned!

This has been my favorite song for years. And I don't even speak Spanish but I know what it means now.😂

PAU IS A BEAST,🎸🥁🎤🎼🎶🎵

Nice to see Pau out front once in a while. She definitely enjoys herself. She usually sings this song from behind the drums, but every now and then she comes out front to sing it.

Viva The Warning!

-NARCISISTA : Un tema de rock duro, de TW contra la critica por cantar en ingles ,el primer tema en español ,Pau interpreta este tema y toca la bateria al mismo tiempo, cuantos bateristas pueden hacer esto, excelente solo de Dany y una base de bajo de Ale excelente

I've always loved her confidence. Pau was meant for the stage the day she was born❤

As many of the others have said, this is their response to some Mexican critics who called them "malinchista" (loosely translated as cultural traitor) for only writing songs in English. Pau usually does sing this song live from behind her drum kit, but there have been 4 times that I am aware of her coming out front. This was the first time I am aware of (there might have been one earlier that I haven't seen and i'm sure someone will fill in details if needed). The next two times were the last two shows of their fall tour with Halestorm when Arejay Hale came out to play drums. I was at the first of those shows and funny story. Pau's mic wasn't working at the start of the song. When she realized that, she swapped out and grabbed Ale's mic from her stand. Everything was great after that until the guitar solo was coming to an end and Ale realized she didn't have a working mic for the na na part so she had to run across the stage to use Dany's mic for that part. The next show Arejay, being the old pro that he is, made sure to test out her mic before the song started and praise the band to their Halestorm fans. The last one I'm aware of was at a show on their most recent US tour when their guitar tech Cachi (who is actually a drummer by trade) filled in. Whether she's behind the kit or out front, this song is an absolute adrenaline bomb dropped on the crowd as soon as Dany starts that opening riff.

Beta Ramos the guest drummer is Paulina drum teacher and mentor.

So far you 're doing great, I'm enjoying all your reactions, I literaly wait all day for you to drop your videos, greetings from Mexico!!!

Malinchista means someone that prefeer another country's tradition than ours(mexican) It comes from "La Malinche" a mexican woman in 1500 that get "married" with Hernan Cortés (spanish conqueror of mexico)

This is going to be a Whirlwind Warning Week! 😀 Sooooo many songs to react to, so little time! Your reactions are so much fun and will make this week leading up to the Toronto gig very enjoyable! Narcisista was The Warning's stinging reply to some critics in Mexico who were complaining that they sang only in English and therefore were "cultural traitors" or "Malinchistas"

This song was to answer those Mexican critics that called them out for not singing in their native Spanish or singing the more traditional Mexican music! Now think about this- Paulina normally sings this while drumming! Her old drum teacher Beto Ramos honored her by stepping in to drum so she could step up front and sing!

Pau is amazing as always,with her strong powerful vocals and stage presence.

Glad to be following your journey down the rabbit hole. You definitely need to react to Disciple live from Teatro Metropolitan before the concert, they will for sure play that song on tour cause its a massive banger. Also should react to Dull Knives live from The Warning Cave for De(Tour), its a crowd pleaser. 😎🤘Keep rocking, and have a blast at the concert.

I love this performance, seeing Pao unleashed is so cool, natural born rockstars all of them! Love watching your The Warning journey!

I'm really enjoying your reactions ashlena. I like that you get it, TW has a great sound, but then you hear the lyrics and they just seem to draw you in. TW is just a great talent. Cheers.

You think the audience sings here (Mexico). They played in Germany in July. When things calm down. Try a German concert. Later is fine. Later after this concert, while touring with Halestorm. Arejay (Lzzy Hales drummer brother) Played the drums for Pau.

Yes definitely need to do Disciple this week. It will most likely be the opening song and one of there most popular. There is a Teatro version of course.

So much fun they sound awesome in Spanish and Pau was released to Rock out with her sisters front stage I love it. Thanks for reacting to this song.

These CDMX shows were special: 5000(?) seat theater, “hometown” crowd singing every song, a few guests like this drummer (Pau’s drum teacher), and a big stage for Dany and Ale to run around on. As has been said, after the show on August 29th, Pau was overwhelmed with emotion and Ale comforted her on stage. I also suggest that you search RU-vid for “Lzzy gifts Dany a guitar”. Very touching the on stage scene, and you can see how small these girls are. BTW, you’re 5’3” and Pau is 5’0”.

Disciple will have to be a pleasant surprise.

Pau is such a bundle of energy, whether behind the set or out front. She makes it difficult to absorb how wicked Dany's guitar part is.

Apparently, in a lot of non-English as first language countries like Mexico, it's a way of honoring the band by singing their songs with them. Being from Mexico The Warning feel so honored when it happens. Apparently, this custom never caught on in the English as first language speaking countries like the United States and Canada. Please, feel free to help usher it in at your show. They love it when you do. 😊

Pau is a 5 foot stick of dynamite behind the kit, as a front woman or even in the studio while disputing with production staff how the song is going to go!

It's cool to see Pau at the front of the stage for once but it's also cool when she kills this on both vocals and the drums =)

The energy of this song live is insane! Narcisista has been one of my favorites from them ever since I saw them perform it in Pittsburgh last year, my first show. That was Pau's drum teacher Beto Ramos filling in for her and the little drum solo he did is not in the studio version, it was a special treat.

Pau 👊😠 to the haters. 🤘😎❤️⚠️

Pau really flexing her theater chops on this one again. I see a full length Broadway play in their future. Written and performed by "The Warning"

1:33 crème de la crème!

Great reactions again, tedx is not an interview but a 18 minute video of the 3 sisters talking about their journey thus far. They talk about family, about their refusal to join major recording deals( one being Disney but not named ) and why they did not sign. Also 3 songs are performed. As mentioned in comments, Disciple is one you should squeeze in. The song, Amour. The best live performance with great video and good audio can be found on RU-vid under 'The Warning UK Private show' time for the video is 20 minutes and 05 seconds. This was a great show I attended in London in a small venue. It was a very intimate atmosphere with 280/300 people attending. The show was meant to happen 3 years ago just before the pandemic struck and was mainly for the contributors to their kickstarter appeal to raise funds for recording Queen of the murder scene album. They needed to raise $26000 US, and I think they achieved their goal in a couple of days. Although their current label was against this concert, they still honoured their promise 3 years later. Looking forward to reactions, thanks Ash 🤟

I forgot to comment, you should (in your own time) watch this song performed at En Vivo en Foro DiDi Monterrey. They had the lyrics to this song on the back screen for all to see. Pau face showed grit and anger, she even pointed at the lyrics midsong while singing and drumming. She was there to let everone know how she felt. It was gold to see at a young age they're not taking shit from anyone.

You should put XXI Century Blood on that list and include the music video particularly on that one because it's like a movie lol

Sometime after the concert you should dive into the Lunario full concert. They played the entire Queen of the Murder Scene album live which is a concept album with a story and you should check the meaning of each song to follow along with the story. Also who does a concept album as their second album?

If they did all their songs in Spanish. I wouldn't care. BTW, Pau is probably one of the few drummers of either gender who plays in heels. The replacement drummer is killer, too, especially considering he's playing on someone else's kit.

This song, its backstory and this particular performance really captures so much of the spirit of The Warning!

Another song that they will play for sure is Survive which is also from the concert at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX, so dont let this slide!! If you do TEDx it will be on there too, but the newest version sounds the best it has yet.

That drummer is her teacher.

They will def sing Disciple at your (your!😁) concert, Dany and Pau trade off lead vocals. Fair enough on the mvs, makes sense 👏🤘

This is one of my favourite songs from them! When Pau gets hacked off about something it doesn’t take long to get the desired response from her (usually several fold more). Great reaction, looking forward to hearing about Sunday! 🌹

I really enjoy you and your reactions.

beto ramos, pau's drumming teacher. two ted talks out there, both great, but 18 and 20 minutes long.

As much as I want to see all your reactions, I almost feel like encouraging you to save Evolve for the concert, so you can be completely surprised, and pleasantly shocked! 😁

The other song that has spurred me to learn Spanish. I love that Pau's reaction to criticism of making songs in English was to call those people out in a Spanish song. Their reason for making songs in English is simply that it fits into rock songs easier. They can use fewer words to get their point across using English, but it is clear that when they take the time to do it they can make a killer song in their native language.

Great reaction!! Beto Ramos was a special guest Drumer for this song!! Beto Ramos was one of Paulinas teachers!! He is the Drumer of Jumbo another spanish rock band. And he started at The Claxons another great Mexican band!!

Your reaction at 3:34 is priceless, love it. Pau is an absolute dynamo. I have really enjoyed watching your journey with these incredible young ladies.

There is this Mayday in the Making series they put out about their recording of the Album Error that's really good. It's 6 parts each about 5 minutes long. I think you'll like it. It talks about them as people.

So "malinchista" is a uniquely Mexican insult. It refers to "La Malinche," who was a young Nahuatl girl who was sold to Cortes as a translator, and as such helped Cortes and his native allies defeat the Aztecs. She ended up having a child with Cortes and married one of his officers. Her reputation has gone up and down over the years, as a symbol of collaboration with the colonizers - and as a victim of such. Basically it's bad, and hearing journalists use this term to describe them REALLY made Pau angry. And when Pau gets angry, she (with her sisters, of course) writes a KILLER song. "Animosity" is one example, "Unmendable" is another - that's one of my favorites, it's like a 2 1/2 minute thunderbolt of pure rage. (for your future list!)

Probably one of the rare occasions that a different live version of a song should be reacted to besides the magnificent Teatro Metropolitan versions. They premiered this song at Foro Didi (also pro shot) and, for me at least, the song just hits harder with Pau singing it from behind the kit. Check it out!

I love this band so much! As a fellow Canadian Ashlena I have to say I love your reactions. These ladies are pure energy and they love to give all that energy to their audience. You will absolutely love them live because they hold nothing back! Thanks again for your reactions and now subscribed and looking forward to more of your reactions!

Pau sings while playing the drums. However sometimes she comes in front to sing. They sometimes don’t play this song. Of course in Spanish speaking countries they definitely play it.

"Na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na, na Dicen que soy egoísta, condenada narcisista" Ashelena, this is the part you want to learn so you can sing along during the concert!!!

Narcisista is such a fun song in concert. Everyone sings along to the NA NA NA NAs. Pau doesn't usually get a chance to get out from behind the drums, but occasionally someone takes over drumming for Narcisista. At this show it was actually her drum teacher. There were a couple of shows when they toured with Halestorm that Arejay Hale played drums so Pau could get out front and run around the stage for Narcisista. They have such amazing energy. I hope that you manage to get some sleep this week. You certainly have a full schedule planned.

Hey Ashlena! This song was written as a response to some in the Mexican media giving The Warning crap for writing their songs in English. This is a big middle finger and FU to them, in the nicest, classiest way! hahaha. Yes, Malachesta is essentially a cultural traitor. I believe it originated in the Spanish conquistador days of the Aztec Empire's collapse, and derived from someone's name that was thought to be a traitor to the Aztecs. (If I remembered correctly) Yes, watch the TEDx talk from 2017 (Their second one). Not that both aren't great, but 2017 is just a bit better, IMHO. In 2017 they played 3 originals and in 2016 they played two originals and a cover of Foo Fighters: The Pretender. (They have a music video of their cover of The Pretender, so watch that instead) I was very jealous of you getting to see them this weekend, until I realized I may be able to see them over Thanksgiving (US Thanksgiving Nov. 25th) weekend in Cancun, MX. YES!! Have a great time Sunday! I know you will be blown away!

Awesomesause Ashlena! They caught a lot of flack from critics in their homeland for singing in English. So this was their 1st song they wrote in Spanish: a middle finger to their naysayers! Please do NOT forget to react to DISCIPLE before you go to the concert. It has been their opener for quite a few of their recent shows and it is to me one of their best songs (it's my favorite one). 👊🤓

I get your super excited for their concert... but you should see their Queen of the Murder scene full concert at Lunario. This concert is Fire!. I compare this concert to Tommy Rock Opera By The Who. That's how good it is. I predict that in time Queen of the Murder Scene will be one of the greats of this decade.

The drummer is Pau's drum teacher

I always love your reactions. Question is the Painting behind you, you? It is well done. I have a feeling after paying attention that Saturday is your Day for rest and I say Kudos to that. Can't wait to see more from you on The Warning, I look forward when you do.

This was their set closer; they played Martirio and Evolve as encores. *SPOILER* (if you care) They will play one song that they didn't play here, because it's too new: More. Otherwise, they'll play most of the songs on this set list (they won't play Breathe, but they didn't actually perform it; they're most unlikely to perform Revenant; it's a toss-up whether they'll play Amour or 23, but they will surely play Amour in Montreal). I expect 9-10 songs from Error (I'm assuming they play both Error and Kool-Aid Kids and possibly one or the other of Amour and 23, in addition to Choke, Martirio, Evolve, Disciple, Animosity, Z, and Money), their two singles (Narcisista and More), Enter Sandman, and 4-5 from XXICB (Survive they almost surely will, and probably When I'm Alone) and QoTMS, totaling about 17 songs. The songs they have most commonly performed since 2022 from that are Dust to Dust, Ugh, Red Hands Never Fade, Dull Knives, Queen of the Murder Scene, Psychotic, and Hunter. If they do the jar as they did this spring, there will be an added song that isn't on their regular set list, but until the tour starts we won't know if they're going to do anything like that. They generally had children pick the songs from the jar, and the fans on the rail were letting the kids get up front. The person who picked the slip of paper was allowed to keep it.

🙋⚡⚡⚡🔥🔥🔥

Na na na na na na na na… is the same in Spanish as it is in English. 😁
