You’ve been warned! | The Warning | TEDxUniversityofNevada 

This was the performance that hooked many of us to The Warning. My thoughts were: can you imagine as teenagers, going to a foreign country, speaking in a 2nd language, and playing 3 original songs? So brave.

Just before Pau switches drum stick, if you look closely, you can see her breaking a stick and a part of it flying to the right landing on a cymbal.

With this video I was introduced to The Warning. To see a childish little Ale with bass and keyboard and giving lectures so self-confidently in her second language... wow! Then there's Pau, who, like the Muppet character "Animal", thrashes the drums, sings on top of it and plays over the break of a stick so professionally...damn! Dani is the big sister, who you expect more for that reason alone, but still knows how to shine through her singing and her guitar solos. If you've seen that, you know you've just seen rock stars of the future.

you understand, now, why they are so FANTASTIC today??

Exactly this performance made me warned more than 4 years ago… and now I hear them in our German rock radios and tomorrow will see them live in concert, another sold out show of their recent Euro tour! What a development! Thanks for your reaction, greetings from Germany 👍⚡️🤘

Pau could easily have a career as a motivational speaker. They were great even back then.

Dany’s last words before they play Survive, is always one of my favorite quotes ⚡️

They were 16, 14 and 12 at the time. Mindblowing. 🤯

It is my belief that this concert, and the way the girls present themselves between each of these songs is the biggest single reason why they have the most paying supporters of any Band on the entire Patreon platform ( by far).

This is the one that started it all off for me. The old RU-vid algorithm suggested this to me out of the blue back in 2017 and there hasn't been a day since where I haven't watched either a reaction to The Warning or one of their videos. Pau's sheer manic energy, Dany's facial expressions, and Ale's amazing composure at that age hooked me immediately. And the message that they delivered about sticking to your dreams and the power of music just resonated. And did I mention musical talent...?

That extended outrou is what sealed the deal for me. Outstanding performance.

Unmendable written, if I am not mistaken, as message to music industry executives sort of like Narcissista is to critics in Mexico. A big, polite, middle finger. Oh and remember these youngsters are not speaking in their home language. Awesome sauce, respect!

My observation was that the audience was so polite at first that the response seemed minimal. I’m so glad that the girls won them over…tough crowd! It really doesn’t take much to figure out that when they say you’ve been Warned, that you will easily fall down this rabbit hole! Even at such a young age, these girls were so personable, especially playing in the US, where English is their second language. I may be old, but I know talent when I hear it. These girls are the real deal! Great reaction today, Red!! 🎶 Cyd

Every time I see this (and it's been quite a few) it makes me think about what this must have meant for their parents. Now that I've been upgraded from grandfather to great grandfather myself, it just touches my heart to consider what a wonderful journey it's been for their mom and their dad and how they're still maintaining that family connection even with the way they're finally starting to get the attention they've deserved for so long.

This was the last time Pau was as tall as Ale on Stage.

Nice reaction ❤: The Warning is passion ⚡⚡⚡! The Warning is hope 🔥🔥🔥! The Warning is life 🌀🌀🌀!

Love your reactions to The Warning, Red. Three sisters, two young teens and one tween, casually dressed and not using any gimmicks. They are true rock prodigies and master storytellers. I am a very proud patreon for 3 years and can't wait to see them live for my 5th time.

This performance it's a jewel

I still get chills every time I see this performance (and this is probably about the 50th time)!!

I have watched this one probably 200 times+ and I still love watching them. I am so happy you got to experience thi8s one also.

Dany wrote the masterpiece, when I’m alone at 15.

They are still playing Survive on their current European tour and When I’m Alone is never far from the setlist and still played at longer shows. Unfortunately, Unmendable has been placed on the setlist back burner. I don’t even want to know how many times I’ve seen this TedX now…

This is when Pau was in her ANIMAL from the Muppets phase

This is the performance that hooked me (and many others) on The Warning! So much Talent, Poise and Intelligence at such a young age, Rockstars from the start!

If you will notice, their energy is the same today as it was almost 10 years ago. You can tell when they were talking, they give their everything to us. That’s why we love them. That’s the example we need. They are exemplary, they will never sell out, and they will keep rocking!

That outro on Survive made me fall in love with this group!!

I remember when they first put this out, what a powerful performance. This is the very first time “You have been warned” was ever spoken by anyone. I saw, even back then, that they were something very special, and would one day dominate the world of music! LONG LIVE THE VILLARREAL SISTERS!

That first track is Unmendable , Pau puts on drum clinic at 14

In Exterminated - Pau in full Animal mode - she still beat the sh.. out of her drums today, but she has learned to economise her energy and moves. "When I'm Alone" written by 15y old Dany while feeling homesick and as a homework at Berklee College of Music. "Survive" a TW classic now. Both "When I'm Alone" and "Survive" are normally on the setlist for longer shows.

I'm just endlessly amazed by these young women. Especially the stage presence of all three. Ale, 12 or 13 yrs, first to speak and does a great job. Dany, songwriting in WIA, encouraging the spotlight onto Ale and Pau. And Pau, just spectacular! 😊

Jim (Guitarist NYC - Philly 40 yrs) I can only dream to play on a level anyway remotely like world class Maestra Dany. Thank you very much. You are 1,000% correct. DPA and their entire organization are wonderful, wonderful warm-hearted, and caring people. They devote a great amount of time, effort and creativity rewarding fans in so many fabulous and unique ways. We are truly blessed to have ⚡The Warning⚡ enriching our lives especially during these "different" times. 🌎🌍 best 3 piece rock band. These Superstars are Rock Royalty 🔥👸👸👸🔥 Thanks for your great support Rock 🤘😎

If you like 80's rock, check out the concert they did at liceo in 2015. That concert will blow your mind.

Survive is still being played in their set list today on their European tour! It has stood the test of time even with all the other great songs they have written since!!!🔥😊⚡️

Both Survive and When I'm Alone are part of the Teatro Metropolitan concert, if you're interested in an update.

Redhead, me gustan mucho tus reacciones, tus expresiones de sorpresa, muy muy talentosas estas niñas y ahora de adultas son muy impresionantes, saludos desde México.

I just can’t get that gigantic smile off my face every time I watch these ladies. This is what got me hooked to The Warning. That’s the first time I ever seen a standing ovation at a Ted X talk

Pau’s death stare right off the bat 😳. And you see why she broke a drumstick at timestamp 17:10 where a piece flew off to the right to land on a cymbal, and launched to the back at 17:48. I sometimes wonder if Pau channels Keith Moon. Pretty sure that’s Papa in the close up of the dark-haired gentleman, but could be wrong. If it is, he sure looks proud. You’re absolutely right about their heart, soul, personality and stage presence, even at these young ages (16, 14, and 12 according to the original video). And already an album published! Amazing.

This is the video that got me sprung. I love me some the warning readings from the rock ‘n’ roll, Papaw from Memphis Tennessee love your work. Did do a great job.

Watching Unmendable and Survive reminds me of Pau's Digital Tour Bus interview talking about her gear when she said "I crash a lot".

I can't take credit for this comment (I saw it in another reaction vid), but Pau beats the drums like they owe her money. So True! Thanks for doing this one - it's one of my all time favs!

Ms Redheaded Neighbor, even at that young age they were kicking bodacious butt and not just regular bodacious butt kicking but industrial strength ! How could they be so talented at that age. Dany wrote "When I'm Alone" when she was only 15 tears old ! My heart filled with Mexican Pride (even though I'm American) when when Pau and Dany say "Muchas Gracias, Hasta Luego" Thank You Very Much, Until Next Time ! Another wonderful reaction Red

As a 65 yr old when I watched this my brain was trying too keep up with what my eyes and ears were looking at. Amazing at this age.

Survive, the song that hooked millions, the song that spoke to so many who had broken hearts..Survive, the song that is still is mainstay on TW tours. Still one of the best outros in rock and roll!

Hey Red! This is the performance that hooked may of us in TWA! I was just watching TEDx Talks on RU-vid 5 years ago and ran across this. I was Dumbfounded! I had the watch Survive like 5 more times in a row to believe what I was seeing and hearing! Not a day has gone by since, that I do not listen to TW! Future Legends!

So young...at every level they conduct themselves with class and confidence beyond their years....just wow

I was recommended this video in my RU-vid feed while watching classic rock reactions during 2020 lockdown. Was blown away and immediately shared it with friends and family, “do you see this? I mean it, are you seeing what I’m seeing?” We talked about it for days and then I was lost in the rabbit hole. Thanks for sharing your thoughts. It’s obvious that we love it.😊

Hola Red, y esta es la presentación por la cual muchos nos hicimos fans, ver a 3 jovenes, aun sin ser mayor de edad, tocando sus canciones, ver Ale que todavía su monitor y bajo eran mas grande que ella pero su actitud y seguridad eran aun más, A Pau con ésa forma teatral de ejecutar su instrumento de manera maravillosa, y Dany madurando para convertirse en lo que es ahora una frontwoman, la calidad que tenian a ésa edad me conmueve y digo como es posible tanto talento. Aun me dan ganas de llorar al verlas en esos videos antiguos luchando por su música. Y ahora es la mejor banda para mi. Saludos.

Hello redheadedneighbor. This particular video dragged quite a bunch of The Warning Army in...including me. Beside the awesome music it's also their personalities. It is a deeper dive into the history and world of Dany, Pau & Ale. They were already great songsmiths and live performers back then. And only got better and better. In addition - from my point of view - they teach what rock or even music in general is supposed to be. Last weekend I travelled in total around 1100 km to experience them live twice. What they bring to the stage is...elite (...stealing from your AS reaction 😁). Rocking hard (& loud), but keeping it happy and family-like. Thank you very much for the great reaction. Get a comfy room in the rabbit hole, because now you've been warned...by Pau herself. 😁🤘 Subbed.

6:02 - The Warning have replaced Rush (only because Rush retired) as my current obsession Everytime I seem to see you RHN, I get a Rush vibe from you, So pleasant . . . .

Los temas de rock de The Warning son muy diferentes entre si pero todos están llenos de energía ,llenos de fuerza el rock de TW es tremendamente adictivo ,TW utiliza todos los sonidos del rock hasta metal es un rock moderno ,con poderosos riff muy duros jamas se escuchan mal y dominan sus instrumentos como verdaderos maestros ,años de practica,trabajo duro y dedicación han echo de TW un trío de rock de mucha calidad ,TW es un oasis fresco en el desierto de la música actual ,sus temas son inteligentes y sus letras actuales

Although I am very new fan to this group, Pau is still my absolute favorite !!! Amazing band and beautiful souls. I have been Warned 🤘⚡🤘

Pau was angry when she wrote that last song. Makes you wonder if she’s gotten over it. Until you see drumsticks splinter and fly off like shrapnel!

This was their second TEDx TALK performance. I've always felt that for the sake of seeing their growth, progress and evolution, one should watch the 2016 TEDx first, then the 2017 TEDx performance. Hopefully you can react to the first one with us, I think you'll luv it as well. 👊❤⚡️

👍 I've seen this many, many times. It never gets old.

Five days to go before I see them live, all being well! I do hope they keep _Survive_ in the set, it's one of my favourites. The way Pau handles the broken stick is just so professional, even at 14. I guess she'd already had a lot of practice...

I never knew you had three beautiful talented daughters but how you love these girls you remind me of a loving beautiful mom ❤❤❤Red you have the most tender beautiful heart and soul of anyone I have ever met ❤ #thewarningband #redheadedneighbor #bestreactor #beautifulcountrygirl #redsarmy #youmakemesmile

I’ll be seeing them over here at a festival in the uk in july can’t wait 🤘👏

This was so incredible to get to know these young ladies through this video the fact they were doing it in their second language on top of everything else was stunning. I got to this later in my journey down the rabbit hole and was so impressed with these young ladies poise and intelligence. Thanks for checking this out if you're like me you'll watch DPA with a better understanding of them after this and appreciate them even more. 🔥⚡

This is the very first performance I saw from the warning. I hadn't even been a major rock fan prior to this. I was somewhat of a fan back in the '70s for classic rock. Nothing really caught my interest until the warning decades later. I am now a huge fan! When I'm alone was a song written by Dany reflecting a personal struggle. The three girls attended Berklee School of Music summer program when Dany was 15. During the several weeks she became very lonely and homesick and depressed, missing her friends at home. She had a final exam to complete which was to write her own song. And this is the result! Omg!

In the 2016 TEDx presentation the girls talk about the negativity they received for forming the band, and they also talk about the making of their first album. A lot of people dismiss the first presentation and only talk/recommend this one but the first one is also very important and you can also see the tremendous improvement from one year to the next not to mention Ale's growth spurt.

Hi neighbor, Great pick for The Warning reaction. Yeah from Guadalajara Mexico!

I saw this one early on after discovering what was at the time their newish videos Choke and Evolve, and this really solidified the idea that these ladies have a special presence and charisma that stands out from everyone else. No turning back, I’d support them no matter what.

Nice job, love, your tears held out longer than mine did! Every time I see these girls play at this age, my heart swells as I try to imagine the strength, courage and determination they needed to overcome all obstacles in the path to where they are today… KICKING doors open, and tearing down stereotypes! TW4EVR ⚡️❤️⚡️

At the end of Survive I was shouting at the screen for you not to close your eyes and miss Paulina's insane drumming LOL! Another thing to notice on rewatch is that P. has her drumsticks in her back pocket during her a-cappella section and pulls them out at EXACTLY the correct moment to begin her bombardment. She's something else…

Ya.. This performance of Survive get's me every time!! What a heartfelt Goovin' Jam. ⚡️⚡️⚡️

This was the one I started with as well. Ale, sixth grader playing bass and keys. Pau pounding away as she does. Dany the front woman singing and rocking out. I would have been scared just saying something in front of an audience.

These girls are so impressive, they made it on my spotify, and I don't have many from these days on my spotify. Them and Nightwish, and The Warning has quite a future ahead of them. Pau beats that drum like it owes her money.

Thanks for reacting to this, very enjoyable watch before heading off to work. The drum kit versus 14 year old Pau was never a contest! Still amazes me how well aware and level headed they were even at those young ages. If I could travel back in time and show my lazy, obnoxious teenage self one video it would probably be this TedX talk. 😝Only two more days and then I finally get to experience them live myself!

Great reaction Red! Yep, I went down that rabbit hole after this one also. They are special, I just don't how else to say it, peace.

Never gets old watching reactors do this performance. I could see you were moved by it. I still get moved by it dozens of times later. Seeing Pau out of breath in that first interview segment is always funny. 🙂 Seeing her stick break only to land on the cymbal and then be sent flying later also never gets old. Little Ale on the keyboards, wise beyond her years. Classic and a must-watch for all fans of The Warning.

It’s always nice to see this performance again since this was my introduction to The Warning over 5 years ago. ❤❤❤

I think that is the most I've heard Ale talk, ever

I always like this performance because it shows so much of The Warning's level back in 2017 -- songwriting, public speaking, performing, stage presence. And I point to their talking points whenever people fear The Warning is/will go pop or sell out -- they didn't do it as an independent band as teenagers, sure as $h!t not doing it now. Last fun bit: Pau coining the phrase "You Have Been Warned!" because that is so Pau!

Now you can see why _Survive_ is a fan favorite that they often play even to this day in concerts, even though the tune is pushing ten years old at this point... ⚡🤘⚡

You and Victorycast are fire reacting to The Warning, we can see in you both how we became TW fans too. This video was the one hooked me up the DPA. Cheers from Mexico!

I have watched this at least 15 times, now. It NEVER gets old. They played with unusual intensity and passion. They killed a couple of Pau songs with a Dany song in between. Pau breaks a stick. It lands on a cymbal. She grabs another one and keeps going. A few bars later, she launches the broken piece into the offstage darkness when she plays that cymbal. It's hard not to understand why when you hear that the song is about a broken friendship. Someone didn't understand why Pau had to leave a party to go to band practice and said some demeaning and hurtful things to her. They all spoke with maturity, wisdom, and conviction, here - especially little Ale, who was 12 at this time. I'm sure a lot of folks there were doubters, but if they are paying attention today, they have to be proud.

FYI The Warning will be in JAPAN on June 12th to open for BANDMAID and as some of us know, the 2 great bands are big fans of each other and managed to meet back stage at the AFTERSHOCK festival in 2022. I can't wait to see if Bandmaid gets to introduce them to the Japanese crowd and give hugs and cheers to each other after the performances. It is shaping up to be a must see event in Japan and the videos on RU-vid when they get released to the world, will get big view numbers. What a dream team concert for the fans and promoters to be part of.

Thanks mate 👍 ❤❤❤

If you have not yet, I highly recommend seeing them live. They are amazing

Thanks Red! I’ll be sending more nuggets!

excellent reaction, thank you

all three of these songs are off the 2017 album _"XXI Century Blood"_ , an album about how they see the world with their GenZ POV and things they want to change in it... i don't recall seeing anything from DPA/TW about what inspired *Unmendable* ... some of us think it had to do with their negotiations with numerous labels that they turned down... *When I'm Alone* is Dany's song written when they were at Berklee Music College in 2015... she wrote it while very homesick and needing a song to turn in for a class assignment... Pau and Ale joining with only their instruments is very fitting for the feelings the song is conveying... *Survive* is obviously about a relationship going/gone bad... some think of a boy/girl relationship but it could be about any relationship... especially a relationship where partyA is telling partyB that partyB won't make it without partyA in their lives... to me, this sounds very much like it was inspired from the failed negotiations with those labels "that wanted to change them for the wrong reasons"... i can see those label people trying to get them to sign by trying to scare them with words like that... TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA

Major hints in this performance that Dany was on track to become a great vocalist! And you made me misty-eyed when you started to tear up. They are role-model citizens of the world!!!

I am so glad you reacted to this presentation!

Ale is absolutely the coolest, I just turned 11 year old that’s ever been.

And that is where . . You Have Been Warned . Started . . If you watch after Paus stick breaks ,the tip ends up on a symbol ans a cpl of bars later you can see the tip fly as she hits the crash . . Its ok to cry . . I spend alot of time watching reactors and The Warning videos . Interviews and vlogs and rarely do i not shed a tear . . Their talent and who they are as people just washes over a person and ready or not ,theyl get ya . Great reaction . Till next time take care . Bye from New Zealand 💐🤟🇳🇿twa

😮 💦 The O for sure😂 I never get tired of that performance. Survive is always the best but you gotta the various version of When I’m Alone especially Dany solo at Teatro💪🏼❤️🤟🏼

❤❤❤🤘🤘🤘⚡⚡⚡WHACK , WHAM O..... KA-PAU !!!

Such a great story! Thanks!

They still play survive, been playing it all over Europe last couple weeks.

These girls, besides being so talented, are very endearing. Most of the music that I listen to, of course I like it, but I don't have the same connection with the artists as I do these three young ladies. Great reaction RHN

You've seen Pau grab a new stick. You missed how the one before broke. That was Pau's previous camera angle.

They are still to this day the same sweet young ladies they were back then.

You can see how Paulina's drumming has changed. She is now much more economical with her movements. Indeed, playing as she did at the time of the video was very energy-consuming and caused her pain, so she changed the way she played. also watch the teatro metropolitan version of when i'm alone

This video is how I found them, when I was looking through TEDx videos…! 🔥🤘#NumberlyGarfs

Pau is Animal from the Muppets reincarnated! She’s a beast!

Classic and always inspirational. ❤

Dont forget to do the 2016 presentation, if you don't you will miss half of their story at that time. And Ale is so small and can barely hold her bass😊

Hi Now you have to do the one from 2016. These girls are awesome. This is Dany's song

The title track of XXI Century Blood is a great song with an amazing music video. The 2nd song 15 year old Dany wrote while they were at the Berklee College of Music, that Ellen DeGeneres gave them scholarships for. When I'm Alone, was an assignment towards the end, and she was homesick . There's a video diary of their time there.
