And they're using top-shelf pro gear, very pro, very serious. I would not be surprised if Pau's mic system costs about the same as one of Dany's guitars - serious business here.
She does the actual singing. She conditions herself by singing while running. The few backing tracks that they use are usually fill in guitars or piano.
@@BraindeadBreakdown Plus which they record their own backing tracks. All 3 play piano but it is often Pau, the drummer that plays keys as a backing track. Of course if they really need another guitar Dany does that but they use what they have so well that even if the backing track doesn't work it is often not noticeable.
It's more than a few backing tracks. But it makes sense since that's what they did in the studio. You can see it all on the drummer's laptop toward the end of the song.
The guitar has splitters and delays to make it sound so damn full. I've seen them live during soundcheck in a quiet empty club and when Dany picks up her guitar and hits the strings the floor and the walls shake. They are exceptional in every respect.
Not only that, I have see nlive performances when the laptop crashed or glitched out and other than Dany and Ale looking back to Pau (Who controls the click and backing tracks on her laptop) and shrugging, went on like nothing happened and the crowd was none the wiser.
Yeah the Kemper splits the signal and applies a 10ms delay to one side. One side goes straight to the board and the other goes to the backline amp and gets miked.
Yes, the drummer sister Pau (POW!) is 100% singing. There's a ton of footage of her out there, and she's always at 100% effort, energy, and accuracy. She almost never misses, Pau is a phenom. Like I said in another comment, check out the Tedx version to see her really giving it 110%, with no doubt she's singing. She's really moellowed out since those earlier days tbh.
I would say she has refined and economized her movement so as to conserve energy and preserve herself. Her arms used to flail a little in a way that she could have injured her elbows.
"Is she really singing"?? What kind of bands are you watching? This drummer is a musical wonder... The real deal.. watch 23, same show.. she's been drumming & singing since she was a little kid.... What these Young ladies are, is nothing fake. Yes they use some filler tracks, but when it comes to lead vocals, what you see is very special and unbelievable. 100% the drummer...PAU(POW).. 🤟🎶☮️
Modern electronics available to guitarists and recording studios can make one instrument sound like many. Adding delay, reverb, phasing, flanging, compression, etc. can help create that wall of sound. Yes, Pau sings and plays drums at the same time. Look up their 2018 Ted Talk video here, and watch her perform this same song there. Remember, this performance is from a concert in Mexico City, around 7300 feet above sea level. Drums? Vocals? Altitude? Attitude? Hell yeah!
Occasionally, when Dany forgets a lyric, Pau is suddenly right there singing it for her. I swear that she has multiple brains. Watch their performance playing "Unmendable", also during their 2017 Ted-x performance.
I actually just watched that performance, but I didn’t see Dany miss a lyric. Could you point out which lyric Pau sung for her? They’re so good I didn’t notice!
@@sparkly33 It wasn't that performance. It was when a fan chose "Ugh" from the jar, and they hadn't sung it live in awhile. Dany forgot a verse and Pau just chimed in like it was nothing. Maybe Google would know which one...
This song is very old, as is one other from this Teatro show, called When I'm Alone. The songs became fan favourites because they were part of the band's legendary 2017 Tedx performance when they were 12, 15, and 17. They performed three songs, and gave little speeches in between. It's definitely worth a watch as it gained them a huge following early on. Pau is a monster in that show. The songs are not nearly as strong as their later material for obvious reasons given their ages, but seeing them performed at that time gains them a little more appreciation maybe.
Pau has been singing this song while drumming (live) since she was 15. She sings the lead on several songs. Check out “23” from this concert for a great example. 6:04
The backing tracks; usually a piano when none of them can't play it in person. Sometimes a sound effect. Yes, all three are trained on the piano from very young ages.
I heard them do this in a small club here in Houston and I can tell you that is definitely her singing live, she is a great singer, a beast on the drums and writes most of their songs. PAU!!!
hi, yes. Paulina really sings live. You should see some of the videos where she is smaller and the breathing issue is more noticeable. But she has been singing and playing the drums practically since she started playing, since she was 6 years old. In addition, she has said more than once that to achieve that air control she usually sings while going out for a run. From this show in particular you can see 23 or Dust to Dust, where you can tell that he is singing live. I asked to see them in the recital they gave last October in Vuenos Aires, and, my God, it's amazing. The musical level of these sisters is unique. Generally the tracks they use are from a rhythm guitar or some keyboard, which they have also previously recorded. no more than that. Saludos desde Argentina. ⚡🤘⚡🤘⚡🤘
@@jhgrcJorge, I don't quite understand what you mean when baking is tape. You can even see Ale doing the baking and you can tell he's alive. But oh well. Since I could only listen to the fan cams, I didn't hear well what you were referring to.
@@Bebop-Nic those "oo oo ooo"' are clearly coming from tape aka computer. Ale is nowhere near the mic and Pau is mouth closed. She clearly could sing those parts but for some reason they decided to go for backing track. Watch for example Teatro Diana The Warning SLP at 2:21=> where clearly visible. Sometimes Pau is wording the lyrics but really cannot hear clear from audio track, as on her parts when she is filling during Dany's high notes you can easily hear her.
@@jhgrc The truth is that I didn't notice it, but oh well. The decision may have been because all three were suffering from the flu, one of the three was worse than the other. In those three shows the meet and greets were with masks for that same reason.
@@jhgrc I saw them live in Buenos Aires in October and they didn't play any of the two new songs. On that occasion I didn't hear any baking coming out of Pau's notebook. Yes, the usual, some guitar, some effect, some keyboard. But nothing more. pure live vocals.
Yes! It is Pau singing in all her glory. I saw them live three weeks ago and Pau was very sick with flu. She sang all the same and you could clearly hear she was in trouble. No voice tracks for lip singing and no auto-tune. Ever.
Three sisters from Monterrey, MX. They started in 2012. They became The Warning in 2013. Today they are Dany, guitarrist 23, Pau, drummer 21, and Ale, bassist 18. In 2022 they did over 100 gigs in North and South America along with Foo fighters, Halestorm, the Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace, and Guns ‘n Roses. Earlier this year they did four shows with Muse in Mexico and finished 18 shows on the first US leg of their world tour. They then did concerts throughout Europe including opening for Muse five times in the UK and France. Many of these had 30-60 thousand fans in attendance. They recently completed the second leg of their US tour, played at the MTV VMAs, and opened for Guns N’ Roses. They just finished a spectacular tour of South America and are touring Mexico for the rest of 2023. In February of 2024 they will play Shiprock, a rock cruise; in March 2024 they will play at the P’al Norte Festival in Tecate; and in August 2024 they will play the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany. All three are classically trained pianists and Dany & Ale have played sax in the past. All three sing lead and background vocals; but Dany is the principal singer. They were inspired by the video game Rock Band and two of their songs are available on Rock Band IV. They appeared on the Ellen Show in 2015. They are fully bilingual as they attended a bilingual Catholic school in Monterrey, Liceo de Monterrey. But later they all graduated high school through home schooling due to their touring schedule. They attended Berklee College of Music Summer Program in Boston in 2015. They started as a cover band. Their cover of Enter Sandman launched their career. They now have 49 original songs in an EP, three albums, two singles, and two unreleased but performed songs. No bad songs. Their newest released single, More, came out May 12th. Two new unreleased songs were debuted at their Guadalajara concert. They have a rich collection of live videos, music videos and lyric videos on their channel. There are also vlogs and individual performances. Any video from the August 2022 concert at the Teatro Metropolitan in Mexico City is gold! When not performing they are humble down to earth individuals. Dany is a goofball and sweetheart, Pau talks with passion like a machine gun, and Ale is an introvert and a perfectionist. When you fall down The Warning rabbit hole, you can’t go back!!
I've been following this band on and off for a bit now, and I can tell you that it took them like a tour-and-a-half to figure out how to get Pau's mic to work consistently while she drums. It's actually kind of fun, there's full videos of their first US tour on RUclips, and you can watch them work the bugs out of their live show in real time. Their earlier shows were plagued with technical glitches (like Pau's mic never working right, IEMs cutting out, etc.). By the end of the tour, they had it all figured out and were like seasoned vets out there. Which is actually one of the reasons Muse invited them on the Euro tour, the whole The Warning team is very professional and really has it's shit together, and they don't need their hands held through every little thing like some opening acts often do. I think the trick to making a trio sound good live is all in the tone, which is something TW nailed early on. Which is particularly impressive with Ale, so many rock bassists just dump on the compression until it sounds consistent. Ale is actually just really damned good at bass. So you've got her full dynamic range and natural tone, not just a dull thump behind the guitar.
Pretty good random pick, my favorite song. Although you really could pick anything at random from their catalog and you'd have an excellent song. I think you need to give your girlfriend a more powerful amplifier and upgrade the speakers in her car. They use backing tracks, judiciously. They had an extensive discussion of this with Ryan Roxie. Their philosophy is basically that the song should stand on its own -- if the track fails (as it has), the song should still be the song. The piano here is a track. Originally the song opened on keyboard, with Ale playing it, but they haven't been taking keys on tour, so they reworked the opening for guitar and bass. However, the piano beyond the intro has always been a track, of necessity. Pau really does sing live. Dany forgot the lyrics to Ugh this spring when they played it on occasion, and Pau immediately jumped in. She has also sung other Dany songs on occasion to give her a break. You can hear her breathe a bit immediately after the breakdown in Dust to Dust. Furthermore, Pau did the recitation in their version of Enter Sandman in the studio, but she found that she couldn't do it while drumming -- it's not fast or heavy at that point, but the spoken line was too out of sync with the drum pattern, so Dany took that over. The only backing track vocals I know of that they use are are the breakdown of Dust to Dust (which is a male voice, their manager Rudy Joffroy) and during Enter Sandman (which was originally done jointly with Alessia Cara; they've kept some of her backing vocals in as tracks out of respect for her). Their vocals are their big performance strength; they have two full-fledged lead singers, and while Ale does not like singing lead, she will do so if Dany needs a rest. She also has a backing lead vocal line in one of their new songs, Hell You Call A Dream (aka HYCAD) in a passage that is more appropriate for her voice than for Pau's. Pau sometimes does stop singing like she did in the opening here, simply because she enjoys hearing the crowd singing back to her. You probably noticed that she removed her left in ear monitor so she could better hear. Dany does that on occasion, but less often.
You haven’t experienced The Warning until you’ve seen Evolve played live. They often close their shows with it, and it has 5 seconds of the most iconic Pau vocal. I recommend the performance at the MTV VMAs.
The first time I watched this concert I questioned the vocals during the first song and then I remembered, oh yeah, this is The Warning, there shouldn't be a question. People have told you about the treadmill, and the backing tracks going down, but there's one more thing add - the audio was taken straight from the soundboard so it's going to be a pretty clear audio. They don't go in and clean things up though, they leave the good and the bad in there too. You'll hear Dany plucking the wrong string on occasion, or a crack in their voice, but they leave it in because that's what they are… authentic. This song was in the first half of the concert, but if you listen to some of the later songs that Pau sings, you start to hear more of her breathing, but her vocals are still strong and controlled. I first saw them in Oct '22 and then again in May '23 and there was a marked improvement in their vocals and musicianship just from the constant touring they'd been doing and they've only gotten better. And I can't wait to see them again because I don't think they're even at their best yet.
Regarding releasing "cleaned up" performances there is no way The Warning could get away with this if they wanted to because several members of TWA (The Warning Army) record the concerts on their phones and the band is find with that.
Hey, brother, I think you may be underestimating Pau’s extraordinary talent. When you’ve watched enough of their performances and learned enough about this band, you will be stunned by how musically gifted these 3 musicians are. And you will enjoy the journey of discovery. Thanks for the great review. Cheers.
Pau is one of a handful of professional drummers in the world capable of singing lead and playing at the same time. Recommend 23 and Dust to Dust from this show as a couple more examples. 👍😎
You can hear the piano backing track. A couple of days ago, in Pachuco, Pau’s mic went dead in a song and you can hear Ale’s harmony loud and proud. The tech ran out and got Pau’s mic working again. The failures show that they’re love and also how chill they are when there’s a problem. Ale just sang her part as if nothing was unusual. You might like to check out Survive as played at their second TedX performance in 2017 (?) to compare to this one, about 5 years apart.
Backing tracks are sometimes a piano (in this very song in the instrumental breakdown there is a piano), occasionally a 2nd guitar, and only in the cover of Enter Sandman a voice chorus (that is Alessia Cara from the Music Video), Pau is really singing, she does lead several times. In this concert in "23" she starts singing but has to stop because of a problem with a guest Bass player (one of their teachers... other story). But very clearly no tracks or tricks, just her ability.
You can hear her grabbing a breath. Its just pure lungs. Dany says Pau runs on a treadmill and sings for breath control and lung capacity. Dany does use tricks on her guitar to make it sound bigger. Splits the output and use effects. Tuning. Ale is tracking both others on bass. She does a lot of work.
They'll use backing tracks but they'll never fake a performance. Throughout their tours there will be times when Dany forgets a lyric so Pau finishes the verse for her, or Pau's mic stops working and Ale fills in. These sisters are exceptionally professional, passionate, talented artists. If you ever see them touring near you, don't miss em!
Yep, she's singing. Occasionally you get little bits that come through confirming such. But yeah, some of the stuff she does, it seems impossible. I don't know what mic she uses, but it is perfect for her. You never hear the drums in it, you rarely hear her breathing, but you can hear her singing. I am sure it took them some time to get dialed into what works for her. I know it's not the same one she was using at the TEDx performance, because you can hear the differences.
The majority of backing that they do use is things like a short piano segment, as in this track. Sometimes it’s a siren and a scream or their manager preaching during the breakdown. For the most part, they are playing it, using various equipment to provide distortion.
Great reaction! You've already been filled in on the details of Pau singing; but I'd like to add that there is only one (as far as I'm aware) recorded instance of them lip-syncing. They were much younger (not sure on their ages, Dany was maybe 15 or 16) and doing a performance for a tv station, a daily show type-thing. According to the stories, the station didn't believe them when they said they could play live as well as their studio version and forced them to lip-sync. The result was immediately visible in their faces and body language. They absolutely *hated* the experience and vowed to never, ever do that again to the point where they would refuse to perform if they couldn't be genuine and play live music. It's in their blood and it is their passion to perform on a stage. When someone says "They were born to do this", you can hardly find another artist to which this applies more than to The Warning.
The drumming sister name is easy to remember Pau, pronounced POW! like the sound she makes. Guitar is Dany (Dan-nee) and the bass player is Ale (Ah-lay).
Another song that Pau sings while going hard on the drums is 23. She sings it flawlessly and you really have to Pay attention to catch her breathing. Her technique and stamina is amazing.
To my knowledge, these girls have never lip-synced a performance in their lives. When they perform, they f**king PERFORM. As others have mentioned, Pau practices singing while working out. This band is just amazing. And they're just getting started, my friend. They're just getting warmed up.
many reactors think she isn't - but that's why she's trained herself to sing that well whilst drumming 😉 so you're not the first nor probably the last that will question her 😉
Yes Pau is singing here. She does sing lead on some songs. Try Dust to Dust or 23 from this same concert. 100 percent singing. They do have backing tracks but they do not use backing tracks on vocals, except for Enter Sandman where they used a backing vocal of Alessia Cara for the chorus as she collaborated with them on that one..
Paulina the Drummer has been playing that song while hitting the drums since she was a literal child, many videos of her doing it live and raw no editing or lip syncing
If you are at a Warning live show, you will probably hear slightly more moving around and breathing sounds from the drummer. Don't forget that this is a full concert that had its audio cleaned up to remove stuff like that and also some guitar sounds that you can still hear on the crowd versions of the concert. They also played a bit with the audio levels of some of the instruments and mics in certain songs. Just the stands post-processing that happens on releases like this where it is not aired live. It is also using the sound from 1 day, but the footage from two seperate days which is why it might seem that sometimes things don't completely line up.
Pau believes in staying in shape with singing while doing cardio workouts. There was a show they did were the altitude was taking its toll on them and you could easily tell their vocals were live. They normally rehearse so much they make being flawless look easy, but it hours of hard work that got them there.
A little info about the girls… They are 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico. They fell in love with rock music when their parents bought them the video game “Rock-band”. That’s how everything started 10 years ago. - 👩🏼 Daniela (Dany) Guitar and lead vocals. She is 23 years old. She plays piano and saxophone 🎷. She is sponsored by PRS. She loves donuts 🍩. She is a sweetheart, very loving girl and disciplined, she has the best voice for rock music in the industry today. Only Lzzy Hale can compete with Dany. On tour she always has to have fresh fruit. 🍉 🍎 🍊 - 🧑🏻🦰 Paulina (Pau) Drums and vocals. She is 21 years old. She is sponsored by Sabian. She plays piano. 🎹 She collects Anime and Vinyls. She writes almost all the lyrics for the band. She is a genius firecracker 🧨 She is an amazing drummer and she can sing while she plays, very difficult thing to do. She has a tremendous voice that transmits a lot of emotion. She is the lead singer in many of their songs. She is going to make you cry when she sings the song “black holes”. Prepare the tissues 😢. - 👧🏻 Alejandra (Ale) Bass and Vocals. She is sponsored by Spector. She plays piano 🎹. This girl is the youngest (18) but she is the tallest. Ale is a tremendous bass player, she is a clean, clear and consistent player. She sings well but she doesn’t like to sing. She prefers the backing vocals. She loves Takis chips (fire). NEVER put pineapple in her pizza 🍕, she will get mad 😠. She is very reserved, but very smart!. When things are going out of control in the band, she is the voice of reason. She has super strength powers, she can break an apple with her little bare hands 💪🏻 🍏.
Pau is singing 100%, this girl is built different than other people, she is very talented. They use some backing tracks to fill the sound, but as Dany said… “Everything we add as backing tracks is recorded by us!, so it’s not cheating”. Definitely not Milli Vanilli 👩🏿🦱👩🏾🦱😂
Truth. In Canada, Pau had food poisoning and Dany had the flu, and no backing tracks appeared. They powered through, and Ale took over lead on The Hunter.
@@RussInCanada And when Ale was too sick to sing even backing vocals later on that tour, Dany picked up Ale's line in Choke as quickly as she could (it's difficult, because it goes from the top of her range immediately to near the bottom), but the gap was there. They did not attempt to fill the missing words with a track.
The drumming sister Pau...I'll never believe that she's not doing it. She's a beast...been doing it for a long time!! Love The Warning...Live...they blew me away!!! Especially Ale's bass...(SHARKS) Man oh man!! 🤘😎
It's so sad, the state of the music industry that you have to question whether a person is REALLY singing or not... Yes Paulina is singing, yes Alejandra is singing and Dany is singing... they are all singing their parts LIVE. there is a doubled guitar and keyboards on the backing track. Pau took a page out of Miley Cyrus' playbook and sings out loud while exercising (doing her cardio workout).
I think it was more that people in the comments section to the previous video mentioned the use of occasional backing tracks, I was just curious where. Plenty of people have clarified in the comments so far as to where. I would usually assume that the band is playing because that is what musicians usually enjoy doing 😊
Pau is definitely singing. I saw them in a club last year. I was less than ten feet away from her, there was no doubt she was singing and singing exceptionally well too.
The headset is a DPA. A headset used in TV and theatre mostly. Thanks to In Ear Monitors it can be used here. They sound great. Re: tracks. I think it's mostly FX and extra keys here and there and a click. They're pretty organic. Brilliant band all around. I'm hooked.
I'm not sure if you've seen it yet but if you watch their re-imagined version of Enter Sandman (done at the request of Metallica for their Blacklist album) from this same concert then you'll really see just how incredible Pau's live harmonies really are. That live performance is more duet than just one lead vocal by Dany. You have to remember that they've been a band for ten years, have done several hundreds performances from clubs to stadiums and many with this in their set list, and have honed their sound over that decade. Actually, watch the entire Teatro Metropolitan concert. Pau does several songs as lead or in duet.
Pau does not make backing tracks for her voice, she trains on the treadmill singing to develop lung capacity and be able to sing fluently. It is not always possible to maintain the vocal standard but she almost always achieves it. You will be able to notice it in a song where she has to jump on stage singing Narcicista in this same concert. The fatigue is noticeable there.
As far as I know, the only thing on the backing track for this song is the piano (which they recorded themselves, they all play piano) because they don't have a piano/keyboard with them on stage, but they have done shows in the past where Ale played the keyboard part live at least in the intro while she wasn't busy with the bass as well. For the most part, they only put things in the backing track that aren't essential, so basically if the track failed, the song wouldn't feel lacking to someone who was unfamiliar with the song (of course people who know the songs may notice if something is missing). Tracks occasionally include vocals, for example their reimagined cover of Enter Sandman has vocals from Alesia Cara, their co-artist for that song, and Dust To Dust has vocals of a male voice recorded by their manager. They don't lip sync though, the tracks don't include their own vocals. There have been occasions where there was a technical error where microphones don't work, or someone forgets the lyrics, and in these situations, one of the other sisters comes in to cover the mistake. I don't believe there are guitars on the tracks either although I'm less certain of that. But usually the sound comes from Dany's guitar, either doubled and delayed or with an octave effect unless I'm mistaken. Yeah Pau's face mic is really good now, they've refined it over the years. if you go back to older recordings you can hear the difference, its a bit lower quality, it pops quite often, she's often adjusting its position. Nowadays they have sorted those issues.
They did a TED Talk a few years ago and performed this song along with a few others, It is worth a watch to see how much they have grown since then. Yes Pau's microphone has drastically improved over the years. Speaking of the backing track, did you notice the piano playing in the background? It adds a nice touch.
Yes, they use backing tracks (and a click track as well) but the backing tracks are only in the background. You'll sometimes hear a background voice when no one is singing or a keyboard when there isn't even one on the stage, There's a synthesizer sound that starts More and a male voice that comes in at one point in Dust to Dust. But you'll never hear a track going where they are only pretending to play or sing. They are 100% honest in that regard.
Pau does in fact sing. For one thing she's been singing and drumming since she was about 7 and she practices her breath control buy singing while running
The drummer is singing into a headset, not a stationary microphone. So it doesn't matter how much her head moves, the microphone moves with her mouth, and there's no fluctuations in volume because of that.
I've yet to find any of their songs lacking much, at all. Their sibling dynamic is magic, their talent extraordinary, their youth and experience, unmatched (?) ... I am in awe.
They have never been afraid of new technology. They have had banking tracks for a long time, as already written, as piano or guitar. But their songs are written in such a way that they also have their sound without.
I have never heard of this band before...do I have a new discography I can get obsessed with? Also--your confidence and presence doing all of these reacts has come so far since the beginning! Awesome!
Thank you so much for saying so dude! I have gotten a bit more used to it in the last couple of months! 🙂 I have you enjoy heading down The Warning rabbithole!
Enjoyed the reaction. She's definitely singing. Its crazy how good she is and how easy she makes it look. Check out Dust to Dust from this concert. Its one of the songs where Pau sings lead.
I really enjoy your TW reaction vids!!. Three piece bands using a bit of backing tracks live is kinda necessary. I saw the Police's Synchronicity and Rush's Hold You Fire tours, both used backing tracks. These were extraordinary concerts and TW doesn't indulge in that practice any more than they did. The bottom line is all these 3 piece bands put on epic live shows for their fans!. edit: I didn't mean to imply Pau is lip syncing, she's not!.
You know what wolud be even better than a Like? Subscribe to their channel as I am doing to yours expecting more of The Warning. Thank you for the reaction. TWA.
Welcome to the Warning world. They are 200% every thing about. These beautiful ladies are exceptional and super talented. Rock is back. And is better than ever.
For the most mind blowing live performance, bar none, take a moment to react to their 2023 MTV VMA performance of "Evolve". My WARNINGs to you - 1) It will blow your mind and leave you speechless. 2) You will witness the re-birth of hard rock 3) If you are not physically affected, someone will need to check you for a pulse I know it changed my life and placed The Warning into my top 3 favorite bands after I reacted to it. Have a good one. Subbed.
Great reaction. It's true what you say about the variations in Pau's voice, but you should also note that the sound heard in this particular concert is mastered and improved, like all live audiovisual productions, (we could say that it is not 100% the one heard live). That said, if you want to clear your doubts, after watching these versions, look for the same song in the same concert but taken with the cell phones of those present and there you will know exactly how they sound. Pau sings in all the songs, either on backing vocals, harmonies or lead vocals. Greetings from Argentina
As others have said, most of the tracks used are for instruments. There are some vocal tracks used as well, but I think the only prominent vocal part that's a track is the Alessia Cara track during their unique version of Enter Sandman - they track in Alessia since she's not part of the band and all three sisters sometimes have vocal parts at the same time as Alessia's parts (not really able to be sung by one of the sisters when they're already singing). I think they use vocal tracks to fill in chorus sections sometimes if they want the vocals to sound extra big (at the end of Narcissista from this same concert, Pau is walking around with a hand held mic and lifts it to the crowd but you can still hear a Pau vocal in the mix, so in that instance, I think they layered in a few extra copies of themselves to make it sound bigger).
Pau sings and moves very rhythmically. This is still the case when she is no longer on the drums: The Warning - Narcisista Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022
I think the only voices I've heard from the tracks they use are those of Rudy in Dust to Dust and Alessia Cara in Enter Sandman, but otherwise, the three of them sing since they were kids. Cool reaction as always, keep going down the rabbit hole, please!
First listen since I watched them as young girls doing covers. Very talented! I am opening up to more music again. This song reminded me of road trip singing with my daughters. 👏🏻
Thanks for the reaction! From what I have been able to gather, in following them for awhile, their backing tracks consist of sounds, and other musical instruments, not the ones their playing! Might be exceptions, but haven’t seen anything! Also the only vocal track, I am aware of, is Alessia Cara’s in their cover of Enter Sandman. Throwing this out and see what comes back!!😊⚡️
Paulina is a beast. And many times I asked myself it was a playback, because they are so good...The back tracks are just to fill in, and many bands can`t do it because of the timing. By the way, Paulina activate them.
They also have a click track that is also controlled by Pau. The click, the backing tracks, and the "guide" tracks (the stems from the studio recordings but are only routed to their in-ear monitors) are all handled by Ableton Live and triggered by Pau via two foot pedals. The "on" pedal is two her left and the "off" pedal is just to the right of her right kick drum pedal. There are a couple of "Pau Cam" videos (shot from behind her during their performances) where you can see the trigger pedals.
Another comment about Tedx. This was the last song of the show. I think they had a lot of anxiety built up, knowing the importance of the opportunity that Tedx was for them at such a young age. Pau's energy in particular is at a 10. By the time they get to that outro part of this song, the show is over, they know they nailed it, and it's time to let the last of it all out. There was a sense of relief and release to it. Hard to explain, and maybe it's just me, but I still get that feeling from that ending even in this performance. That outro is tied to that Tedx show, and everything it meant to them.
Of course TW use backing tracks. You’d be extremely hard pressed to find a band out there that doesn’t to some degree. Obviously some use them much more than others. It’s really impossible to quantify how much a band uses tracks but if I had to guess, I’d say that 90-95% of what you hear from TW onstage is produced by them. If your interested in increasing your knowledge base about this band I would strongly recommend watching 2 videos that would help you out. The first is a masterclass from Pau from Soundcheck Xpo in CDMX (Mexico City) in 2022. It has a version with English subtitles. The second is a gear rundown from Dany where she explains how she uses her guitar processor to achieve her massive sound onstage. If I can figure it out I’ll edit and include links but both should be easily searchable on RUclips.
TED X 2017 - The Warning - Survive, from 12:12. And remember, this song was written 6 or 7 years ago... when they were mostly still kids..... AWESOME rocker. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
Check out their performance of Evolve from the VMAs. I think it's their best live recording so far, though this Teatro Metropolitan concert isn't far behind.
I’ve seen them live 3 times in the UK this year and they 100% sing and play live, They use backing tracks of like sound effects in some of the songs, but at no point did I think when I saw them there was guitar backing tracks, when the drums and guitar and the bass kicks in you can feel the floor vibrate and you can tell the difference between someone playing live and the backing track. they are simply outstanding live and Danys vocals never fail she’s absolutely pitch perfect on every song
Love the jam at the end it's so good and they are having so much fun. Check out the next song right after this one at this show Disciple they share vocals in that too. Dust to Dust is Pau the drummer singing lead vocals both are true bangers. Thanks for reacting to TW. ⚡🔥⚡
the all-female rock group , called The Warning, for my taste is a rare mix of legendary rock groups like Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett and the black hearts and Heart. greetings from Mexico.
Pau is singing 100%. She trains running on a treadmill while singing. She's been doing it since she was very young.
Absolutely
Yep. I've seen these ladies live three times, and they just keep getting better.
And they're using top-shelf pro gear, very pro, very serious. I would not be surprised if Pau's mic system costs about the same as one of Dany's guitars - serious business here.
@@billholder1330and Dani's guitars are not cheap.
Pau is built differently and wired correctly for Rock music.
If you are a non believer, there´s one way to find out, buy a ticket of one of their shows and see for your self, that they don´t lip sing.
Pau is the best singing drummer ever, period.
She does the actual singing. She conditions herself by singing while running. The few backing tracks that they use are usually fill in guitars or piano.
That is amazing! A great idea for any singing drummers too! 😊
@@BraindeadBreakdown Plus which they record their own backing tracks. All 3 play piano but it is often Pau, the drummer that plays keys as a backing track. Of course if they really need another guitar Dany does that but they use what they have so well that even if the backing track doesn't work it is often not noticeable.
It's more than a few backing tracks. But it makes sense since that's what they did in the studio. You can see it all on the drummer's laptop toward the end of the song.
The guitar has splitters and delays to make it sound so damn full. I've seen them live during soundcheck in a quiet empty club and when Dany picks up her guitar and hits the strings the floor and the walls shake. They are exceptional in every respect.
Not only that, I have see nlive performances when the laptop crashed or glitched out and other than Dany and Ale looking back to Pau (Who controls the click and backing tracks on her laptop) and shrugging, went on like nothing happened and the crowd was none the wiser.
Yeah the Kemper splits the signal and applies a 10ms delay to one side. One side goes straight to the board and the other goes to the backline amp and gets miked.
Fuckin awesome.,
Cheers from LA California 🇺🇸🤟🇲🇽
Even the piano track was recorded by one of them.
Pau 100% sings it all
What an epic concert that must have been.
Yes, the drummer sister Pau (POW!) is 100% singing. There's a ton of footage of her out there, and she's always at 100% effort, energy, and accuracy. She almost never misses, Pau is a phenom.
Like I said in another comment, check out the Tedx version to see her really giving it 110%, with no doubt she's singing. She's really moellowed out since those earlier days tbh.
I would say she has refined and economized her movement so as to conserve energy and preserve herself. Her arms used to flail a little in a way that she could have injured her elbows.
@@DadQuixote7 She breaks a few less sticks now too. A few lol.
Pick any song by this band, and it's a winner. They don't miss. Ever.
"Is she really singing"?? What kind of bands are you watching? This drummer is a musical wonder... The real deal.. watch 23, same show.. she's been drumming & singing since she was a little kid.... What these Young ladies are, is nothing fake. Yes they use some filler tracks, but when it comes to lead vocals, what you see is very special and unbelievable. 100% the drummer...PAU(POW).. 🤟🎶☮️
Modern electronics available to guitarists and recording studios can make one instrument sound like many. Adding delay, reverb, phasing, flanging, compression, etc. can help create that wall of sound. Yes, Pau sings and plays drums at the same time. Look up their 2018 Ted Talk video here, and watch her perform this same song there. Remember, this performance is from a concert in Mexico City, around 7300 feet above sea level. Drums? Vocals? Altitude? Attitude? Hell yeah!
Occasionally, when Dany forgets a lyric, Pau is suddenly right there singing it for her. I swear that she has multiple brains. Watch their performance playing "Unmendable", also during their 2017 Ted-x performance.
That is an amazing performance. The one where Pau affectionately became known as Pow.
I actually just watched that performance, but I didn’t see Dany miss a lyric. Could you point out which lyric Pau sung for her? They’re so good I didn’t notice!
@@sparkly33 It wasn't that performance. It was when a fan chose "Ugh" from the jar, and they hadn't sung it live in awhile. Dany forgot a verse and Pau just chimed in like it was nothing. Maybe Google would know which one...
This song is very old, as is one other from this Teatro show, called When I'm Alone. The songs became fan favourites because they were part of the band's legendary 2017 Tedx performance when they were 12, 15, and 17. They performed three songs, and gave little speeches in between. It's definitely worth a watch as it gained them a huge following early on. Pau is a monster in that show.
The songs are not nearly as strong as their later material for obvious reasons given their ages, but seeing them performed at that time gains them a little more appreciation maybe.
Pau has been singing this song while drumming (live) since she was 15. She sings the lead on several songs. Check out “23” from this concert for a great example. 6:04
The backing tracks; usually a piano when none of them can't play it in person. Sometimes a sound effect. Yes, all three are trained on the piano from very young ages.
As others have stated, yes, that is Pau's live voice. She sings while jogging or on a treadmill so builds up her stamina/strength.
I heard them do this in a small club here in Houston and I can tell you that is definitely her singing live, she is a great singer, a beast on the drums and writes most of their songs. PAU!!!
There are no casual Warning fans.
That's a fact.
hi, yes. Paulina really sings live. You should see some of the videos where she is smaller and the breathing issue is more noticeable. But she has been singing and playing the drums practically since she started playing, since she was 6 years old. In addition, she has said more than once that to achieve that air control she usually sings while going out for a run.
From this show in particular you can see 23 or Dust to Dust, where you can tell that he is singing live. I asked to see them in the recital they gave last October in Vuenos Aires, and, my God, it's amazing. The musical level of these sisters is unique.
Generally the tracks they use are from a rhythm guitar or some keyboard, which they have also previously recorded. no more than that. Saludos desde Argentina. ⚡🤘⚡🤘⚡🤘
Actually in hycad most backing tracks seems to be from tape, and that drum shaker
@@jhgrcJorge, I don't quite understand what you mean when baking is tape.
You can even see Ale doing the baking and you can tell he's alive. But oh well. Since I could only listen to the fan cams, I didn't hear well what you were referring to.
@@Bebop-Nic those "oo oo ooo"' are clearly coming from tape aka computer. Ale is nowhere near the mic and Pau is mouth closed. She clearly could sing those parts but for some reason they decided to go for backing track. Watch for example Teatro Diana The Warning SLP at 2:21=> where clearly visible. Sometimes Pau is wording the lyrics but really cannot hear clear from audio track, as on her parts when she is filling during Dany's high notes you can easily hear her.
@@jhgrc The truth is that I didn't notice it, but oh well. The decision may have been because all three were suffering from the flu, one of the three was worse than the other. In those three shows the meet and greets were with masks for that same reason.
@@jhgrc I saw them live in Buenos Aires in October and they didn't play any of the two new songs. On that occasion I didn't hear any baking coming out of Pau's notebook. Yes, the usual, some guitar, some effect, some keyboard. But nothing more. pure live vocals.
Yes! It is Pau singing in all her glory.
I saw them live three weeks ago and Pau was very sick with flu. She sang all the same and you could clearly hear she was in trouble. No voice tracks for lip singing and no auto-tune. Ever.
Three sisters from Monterrey, MX. They started in 2012. They became The Warning in 2013. Today they are Dany, guitarrist 23, Pau, drummer 21, and Ale, bassist 18.
In 2022 they did over 100 gigs in North and South America along with Foo fighters, Halestorm, the Pretty Reckless, Three Days Grace, and Guns ‘n Roses. Earlier this year they did four shows with Muse in Mexico and finished 18 shows on the first US leg of their world tour. They then did concerts throughout Europe including opening for Muse five times in the UK and France. Many of these had 30-60 thousand fans in attendance. They recently completed the second leg of their US tour, played at the MTV VMAs, and opened for Guns N’ Roses. They just finished a spectacular tour of South America and are touring Mexico for the rest of 2023. In February of 2024 they will play Shiprock, a rock cruise; in March 2024 they will play at the P’al Norte Festival in Tecate; and in August 2024 they will play the Wacken Open Air Festival in Germany.
All three are classically trained pianists and Dany & Ale have played sax in the past. All three sing lead and background vocals; but Dany is the principal singer. They were inspired by the video game Rock Band and two of their songs are available on Rock Band IV. They appeared on the Ellen Show in 2015.
They are fully bilingual as they attended a bilingual Catholic school in Monterrey, Liceo de Monterrey. But later they all graduated high school through home schooling due to their touring schedule. They attended Berklee College of Music Summer Program in Boston in 2015.
They started as a cover band. Their cover of Enter Sandman launched their career. They now have 49 original songs in an EP, three albums, two singles, and two unreleased but performed songs. No bad songs. Their newest released single, More, came out May 12th. Two new unreleased songs were debuted at their Guadalajara concert. They have a rich collection of live videos, music videos and lyric videos on their channel. There are also vlogs and individual performances. Any video from the August 2022 concert at the Teatro Metropolitan in Mexico City is gold!
When not performing they are humble down to earth individuals. Dany is a goofball and sweetheart, Pau talks with passion like a machine gun, and Ale is an introvert and a perfectionist.
When you fall down The Warning rabbit hole, you can’t go back!!
In what year did they released Queen of the murder scene?
Thank you
@@SDsailor7 November 25th, 2018
@@Dave_Marks Thank you
I've been following this band on and off for a bit now, and I can tell you that it took them like a tour-and-a-half to figure out how to get Pau's mic to work consistently while she drums. It's actually kind of fun, there's full videos of their first US tour on RUclips, and you can watch them work the bugs out of their live show in real time. Their earlier shows were plagued with technical glitches (like Pau's mic never working right, IEMs cutting out, etc.). By the end of the tour, they had it all figured out and were like seasoned vets out there. Which is actually one of the reasons Muse invited them on the Euro tour, the whole The Warning team is very professional and really has it's shit together, and they don't need their hands held through every little thing like some opening acts often do.
I think the trick to making a trio sound good live is all in the tone, which is something TW nailed early on. Which is particularly impressive with Ale, so many rock bassists just dump on the compression until it sounds consistent. Ale is actually just really damned good at bass. So you've got her full dynamic range and natural tone, not just a dull thump behind the guitar.
Pretty good random pick, my favorite song. Although you really could pick anything at random from their catalog and you'd have an excellent song. I think you need to give your girlfriend a more powerful amplifier and upgrade the speakers in her car.
They use backing tracks, judiciously. They had an extensive discussion of this with Ryan Roxie. Their philosophy is basically that the song should stand on its own -- if the track fails (as it has), the song should still be the song. The piano here is a track. Originally the song opened on keyboard, with Ale playing it, but they haven't been taking keys on tour, so they reworked the opening for guitar and bass. However, the piano beyond the intro has always been a track, of necessity.
Pau really does sing live. Dany forgot the lyrics to Ugh this spring when they played it on occasion, and Pau immediately jumped in. She has also sung other Dany songs on occasion to give her a break. You can hear her breathe a bit immediately after the breakdown in Dust to Dust. Furthermore, Pau did the recitation in their version of Enter Sandman in the studio, but she found that she couldn't do it while drumming -- it's not fast or heavy at that point, but the spoken line was too out of sync with the drum pattern, so Dany took that over. The only backing track vocals I know of that they use are are the breakdown of Dust to Dust (which is a male voice, their manager Rudy Joffroy) and during Enter Sandman (which was originally done jointly with Alessia Cara; they've kept some of her backing vocals in as tracks out of respect for her). Their vocals are their big performance strength; they have two full-fledged lead singers, and while Ale does not like singing lead, she will do so if Dany needs a rest. She also has a backing lead vocal line in one of their new songs, Hell You Call A Dream (aka HYCAD) in a passage that is more appropriate for her voice than for Pau's.
Pau sometimes does stop singing like she did in the opening here, simply because she enjoys hearing the crowd singing back to her. You probably noticed that she removed her left in ear monitor so she could better hear. Dany does that on occasion, but less often.
Now for doubting my girl Pau you need to react to "Dust to Dust" and "23", both live from this very concert! 😉😁
You haven’t experienced The Warning until you’ve seen Evolve played live. They often close their shows with it, and it has 5 seconds of the most iconic Pau vocal. I recommend the performance at the MTV VMAs.
I'm just going to say, you're ready for Dust To Dust!!!
The first time I watched this concert I questioned the vocals during the first song and then I remembered, oh yeah, this is The Warning, there shouldn't be a question. People have told you about the treadmill, and the backing tracks going down, but there's one more thing add - the audio was taken straight from the soundboard so it's going to be a pretty clear audio. They don't go in and clean things up though, they leave the good and the bad in there too. You'll hear Dany plucking the wrong string on occasion, or a crack in their voice, but they leave it in because that's what they are… authentic. This song was in the first half of the concert, but if you listen to some of the later songs that Pau sings, you start to hear more of her breathing, but her vocals are still strong and controlled. I first saw them in Oct '22 and then again in May '23 and there was a marked improvement in their vocals and musicianship just from the constant touring they'd been doing and they've only gotten better. And I can't wait to see them again because I don't think they're even at their best yet.
Regarding releasing "cleaned up" performances there is no way The Warning could get away with this if they wanted to because several members of TWA (The Warning Army) record the concerts on their phones and the band is find with that.
Hey, brother, I think you may be underestimating Pau’s extraordinary talent. When you’ve watched enough of their performances and learned enough about this band, you will be stunned by how musically gifted these 3 musicians are. And you will enjoy the journey of discovery. Thanks for the great review. Cheers.
Pau is one of a handful of professional drummers in the world capable of singing lead and playing at the same time. Recommend 23 and Dust to Dust from this show as a couple more examples. 👍😎
Or the rare Copper Bullets only a couple of times that she sang it instead of Dany.
You can hear the piano backing track. A couple of days ago, in Pachuco, Pau’s mic went dead in a song and you can hear Ale’s harmony loud and proud. The tech ran out and got Pau’s mic working again. The failures show that they’re love and also how chill they are when there’s a problem. Ale just sang her part as if nothing was unusual. You might like to check out Survive as played at their second TedX performance in 2017 (?) to compare to this one, about 5 years apart.
Yep that was during Z when Pau's mike went out and Ale kept singing her part, almost like it was planned that way!🤘
Once again, another thoughtful reaction from a guy who knows his sh!t. Maybe time to change your channel name to 'Brainiac Breakdown.'
I am sure I will have plenty of silly moments along the way too 😉 Thanks for watching!
Spread the LOVE. Introduce The Warning to people as often as possible. The rest of the world needs to be WARNED!!!!
Backing tracks are sometimes a piano (in this very song in the instrumental breakdown there is a piano), occasionally a 2nd guitar, and only in the cover of Enter Sandman a voice chorus (that is Alessia Cara from the Music Video), Pau is really singing, she does lead several times. In this concert in "23" she starts singing but has to stop because of a problem with a guest Bass player (one of their teachers... other story). But very clearly no tracks or tricks, just her ability.
You can hear her grabbing a breath. Its just pure lungs. Dany says Pau runs on a treadmill and sings for breath control and lung capacity. Dany does use tricks on her guitar to make it sound bigger. Splits the output and use effects. Tuning. Ale is tracking both others on bass. She does a lot of work.
They'll use backing tracks but they'll never fake a performance. Throughout their tours there will be times when Dany forgets a lyric so Pau finishes the verse for her, or Pau's mic stops working and Ale fills in. These sisters are exceptionally professional, passionate, talented artists. If you ever see them touring near you, don't miss em!
Yep, she's singing.
Occasionally you get little bits that come through confirming such. But yeah, some of the stuff she does, it seems impossible.
I don't know what mic she uses, but it is perfect for her. You never hear the drums in it, you rarely hear her breathing, but you can hear her singing. I am sure it took them some time to get dialed into what works for her.
I know it's not the same one she was using at the TEDx performance, because you can hear the differences.
The majority of backing that they do use is things like a short piano segment, as in this track. Sometimes it’s a siren and a scream or their manager preaching during the breakdown. For the most part, they are playing it, using various equipment to provide distortion.
Great reaction! You've already been filled in on the details of Pau singing; but I'd like to add that there is only one (as far as I'm aware) recorded instance of them lip-syncing. They were much younger (not sure on their ages, Dany was maybe 15 or 16) and doing a performance for a tv station, a daily show type-thing. According to the stories, the station didn't believe them when they said they could play live as well as their studio version and forced them to lip-sync. The result was immediately visible in their faces and body language. They absolutely *hated* the experience and vowed to never, ever do that again to the point where they would refuse to perform if they couldn't be genuine and play live music. It's in their blood and it is their passion to perform on a stage. When someone says "They were born to do this", you can hardly find another artist to which this applies more than to The Warning.
These 3 are growing on me 🌱😸
Cheers to that! 🎉
I am enjoying them a lot! They are an amazing trio!!! 😊
Power Pau (Drummer) Rocks Da House!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
The drumming sister name is easy to remember Pau, pronounced POW! like the sound she makes. Guitar is Dany (Dan-nee) and the bass player is Ale (Ah-lay).
😂😂
@@BraindeadBreakdown If you can say Alex without the x then you can say Ale. There's no Y.
She sings on almost every song but sometimes she likes to mouth the words even when not singing.
Another song that Pau sings while going hard on the drums is 23. She sings it flawlessly and you really have to Pay attention to catch her breathing. Her technique and stamina is amazing.
To my knowledge, these girls have never lip-synced a performance in their lives. When they perform, they f**king PERFORM. As others have mentioned, Pau practices singing while working out. This band is just amazing. And they're just getting started, my friend. They're just getting warmed up.
Pau's wearing a headset mic.
you have been Warned ! 🤘🤘🤘
many reactors think she isn't - but that's why she's trained herself to sing that well whilst drumming 😉 so you're not the first nor probably the last that will question her 😉
At least I talked myself round before the end of the song eh? 😉
Yes Pau is singing here. She does sing lead on some songs. Try Dust to Dust or 23 from this same concert. 100 percent singing. They do have backing tracks but they do not use backing tracks on vocals, except for Enter Sandman where they used a backing vocal of Alessia Cara for the chorus as she collaborated with them on that one..
Paulina the Drummer has been playing that song while hitting the drums since she was a literal child, many videos of her doing it live and raw no editing or lip syncing
Cool reaction, keep em coming ! TWA🤘🏻
If you are at a Warning live show, you will probably hear slightly more moving around and breathing sounds from the drummer. Don't forget that this is a full concert that had its audio cleaned up to remove stuff like that and also some guitar sounds that you can still hear on the crowd versions of the concert. They also played a bit with the audio levels of some of the instruments and mics in certain songs. Just the stands post-processing that happens on releases like this where it is not aired live. It is also using the sound from 1 day, but the footage from two seperate days which is why it might seem that sometimes things don't completely line up.
Pau believes in staying in shape with singing while doing cardio workouts. There was a show they did were the altitude was taking its toll on them and you could easily tell their vocals were live. They normally rehearse so much they make being flawless look easy, but it hours of hard work that got them there.
A little info about the girls…
They are 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico.
They fell in love with rock music when their parents bought them the video game “Rock-band”. That’s how everything started 10 years ago.
- 👩🏼 Daniela (Dany) Guitar and lead vocals.
She is 23 years old.
She plays piano and saxophone 🎷.
She is sponsored by PRS.
She loves donuts 🍩.
She is a sweetheart, very loving girl and disciplined, she has the best voice for rock music in the industry today. Only Lzzy Hale can compete with Dany.
On tour she always has to have fresh fruit. 🍉 🍎 🍊
- 🧑🏻🦰 Paulina (Pau) Drums and vocals.
She is 21 years old.
She is sponsored by Sabian.
She plays piano. 🎹
She collects Anime and Vinyls.
She writes almost all the lyrics for the band.
She is a genius firecracker 🧨
She is an amazing drummer and she can sing while she plays, very difficult thing to do.
She has a tremendous voice that transmits a lot of emotion.
She is the lead singer in many of their songs.
She is going to make you cry when she sings the song “black holes”. Prepare the tissues 😢.
- 👧🏻 Alejandra (Ale) Bass and Vocals.
She is sponsored by Spector.
She plays piano 🎹.
This girl is the youngest (18) but she is the tallest.
Ale is a tremendous bass player, she is a clean, clear and consistent player.
She sings well but she doesn’t like to sing.
She prefers the backing vocals.
She loves Takis chips (fire).
NEVER put pineapple in her pizza 🍕, she will get mad 😠.
She is very reserved, but very smart!.
When things are going out of control in the band, she is the voice of reason.
She has super strength powers, she can break an apple with her little bare hands 💪🏻 🍏.
Pau is singing 100%, this girl is built different than other people, she is very talented. They use some backing tracks to fill the sound, but as Dany said… “Everything we add as backing tracks is recorded by us!, so it’s not cheating”.
Definitely not Milli Vanilli 👩🏿🦱👩🏾🦱😂
Truth. In Canada, Pau had food poisoning and Dany had the flu, and no backing tracks appeared. They powered through, and Ale took over lead on The Hunter.
@@RussInCanada And when Ale was too sick to sing even backing vocals later on that tour, Dany picked up Ale's line in Choke as quickly as she could (it's difficult, because it goes from the top of her range immediately to near the bottom), but the gap was there. They did not attempt to fill the missing words with a track.
The drumming sister Pau...I'll never believe that she's not doing it. She's a beast...been doing it for a long time!! Love The Warning...Live...they blew me away!!! Especially Ale's bass...(SHARKS) Man oh man!! 🤘😎
It's so sad, the state of the music industry that you have to question whether a person is REALLY singing or not... Yes Paulina is singing, yes Alejandra is singing and Dany is singing... they are all singing their parts LIVE. there is a doubled guitar and keyboards on the backing track. Pau took a page out of Miley Cyrus' playbook and sings out loud while exercising (doing her cardio workout).
I think it was more that people in the comments section to the previous video mentioned the use of occasional backing tracks, I was just curious where. Plenty of people have clarified in the comments so far as to where. I would usually assume that the band is playing because that is what musicians usually enjoy doing 😊
Pau is definitely singing. I saw them in a club last year. I was less than ten feet away from her, there was no doubt she was singing and singing exceptionally well too.
The headset is a DPA. A headset used in TV and theatre mostly. Thanks to In Ear Monitors it can be used here. They sound great. Re: tracks. I think it's mostly FX and extra keys here and there and a click. They're pretty organic. Brilliant band all around. I'm hooked.
I'm not sure if you've seen it yet but if you watch their re-imagined version of Enter Sandman (done at the request of Metallica for their Blacklist album) from this same concert then you'll really see just how incredible Pau's live harmonies really are. That live performance is more duet than just one lead vocal by Dany. You have to remember that they've been a band for ten years, have done several hundreds performances from clubs to stadiums and many with this in their set list, and have honed their sound over that decade. Actually, watch the entire Teatro Metropolitan concert. Pau does several songs as lead or in duet.
Pau does not make backing tracks for her voice, she trains on the treadmill singing to develop lung capacity and be able to sing fluently. It is not always possible to maintain the vocal standard but she almost always achieves it. You will be able to notice it in a song where she has to jump on stage singing Narcicista in this same concert. The fatigue is noticeable there.
It was very obvious in this same video, as Pau interrupts her singing to let the audience sing. That cannot be done with a recorded track.
As far as I know, the only thing on the backing track for this song is the piano (which they recorded themselves, they all play piano) because they don't have a piano/keyboard with them on stage, but they have done shows in the past where Ale played the keyboard part live at least in the intro while she wasn't busy with the bass as well. For the most part, they only put things in the backing track that aren't essential, so basically if the track failed, the song wouldn't feel lacking to someone who was unfamiliar with the song (of course people who know the songs may notice if something is missing). Tracks occasionally include vocals, for example their reimagined cover of Enter Sandman has vocals from Alesia Cara, their co-artist for that song, and Dust To Dust has vocals of a male voice recorded by their manager. They don't lip sync though, the tracks don't include their own vocals. There have been occasions where there was a technical error where microphones don't work, or someone forgets the lyrics, and in these situations, one of the other sisters comes in to cover the mistake. I don't believe there are guitars on the tracks either although I'm less certain of that. But usually the sound comes from Dany's guitar, either doubled and delayed or with an octave effect unless I'm mistaken.
Yeah Pau's face mic is really good now, they've refined it over the years. if you go back to older recordings you can hear the difference, its a bit lower quality, it pops quite often, she's often adjusting its position. Nowadays they have sorted those issues.
They did a TED Talk a few years ago and performed this song along with a few others, It is worth a watch to see how much they have grown since then. Yes Pau's microphone has drastically improved over the years. Speaking of the backing track, did you notice the piano playing in the background? It adds a nice touch.
Yes, they use backing tracks (and a click track as well) but the backing tracks are only in the background. You'll sometimes hear a background voice when no one is singing or a keyboard when there isn't even one on the stage, There's a synthesizer sound that starts More and a male voice that comes in at one point in Dust to Dust. But you'll never hear a track going where they are only pretending to play or sing. They are 100% honest in that regard.
Pau does in fact sing. For one thing she's been singing and drumming since she was about 7 and she practices her breath control buy singing while running
The drummer is singing into a headset, not a stationary microphone. So it doesn't matter how much her head moves, the microphone moves with her mouth, and there's no fluctuations in volume because of that.
Thank you.
I've yet to find any of their songs lacking much, at all. Their sibling dynamic is magic, their talent extraordinary, their youth and experience, unmatched (?) ... I am in awe.
They have never been afraid of new technology. They have had banking tracks for a long time, as already written, as piano or guitar. But their songs are written in such a way that they also have their sound without.
I have never heard of this band before...do I have a new discography I can get obsessed with?
Also--your confidence and presence doing all of these reacts has come so far since the beginning! Awesome!
Dive in-trust me, you WILL get obsessed.
Thank you so much for saying so dude! I have gotten a bit more used to it in the last couple of months! 🙂 I have you enjoy heading down The Warning rabbithole!
Enjoyed the reaction. She's definitely singing. Its crazy how good she is and how easy she makes it look. Check out Dust to Dust from this concert. Its one of the songs where Pau sings lead.
I really enjoy your TW reaction vids!!. Three piece bands using a bit of backing tracks live is kinda necessary. I saw the Police's Synchronicity and Rush's Hold You Fire tours, both used backing tracks. These were extraordinary concerts and TW doesn't indulge in that practice any more than they did. The bottom line is all these 3 piece bands put on epic live shows for their fans!.
edit: I didn't mean to imply Pau is lip syncing, she's not!.
You know what wolud be even better than a Like? Subscribe to their channel as I am doing to yours expecting more of The Warning. Thank you for the reaction. TWA.
I love the Survive outro!!
Welcome to the Warning world.
They are 200% every thing about.
These beautiful ladies are exceptional and super talented.
Rock is back. And is better than ever.
For the most mind blowing live performance, bar none, take a moment to react to their 2023 MTV VMA performance of "Evolve". My WARNINGs to you -
1) It will blow your mind and leave you speechless.
2) You will witness the re-birth of hard rock
3) If you are not physically affected, someone will need to check you for a pulse
I know it changed my life and placed The Warning into my top 3 favorite bands after I reacted to it.
Have a good one. Subbed.
Great reaction. It's true what you say about the variations in Pau's voice, but you should also note that the sound heard in this particular concert is mastered and improved, like all live audiovisual productions, (we could say that it is not 100% the one heard live). That said, if you want to clear your doubts, after watching these versions, look for the same song in the same concert but taken with the cell phones of those present and there you will know exactly how they sound. Pau sings in all the songs, either on backing vocals, harmonies or lead vocals. Greetings from Argentina
Ai can we talk about the best right hand in rock these days? DANY!
As others have said, most of the tracks used are for instruments. There are some vocal tracks used as well, but I think the only prominent vocal part that's a track is the Alessia Cara track during their unique version of Enter Sandman - they track in Alessia since she's not part of the band and all three sisters sometimes have vocal parts at the same time as Alessia's parts (not really able to be sung by one of the sisters when they're already singing). I think they use vocal tracks to fill in chorus sections sometimes if they want the vocals to sound extra big (at the end of Narcissista from this same concert, Pau is walking around with a hand held mic and lifts it to the crowd but you can still hear a Pau vocal in the mix, so in that instance, I think they layered in a few extra copies of themselves to make it sound bigger).
Pau sings and moves very rhythmically. This is still the case when she is no longer on the drums:
The Warning - Narcisista Live at Teatro Metropolitan CDMX 08/29/2022
I LOOOVE how they jam-out at the end of this song !!
Don't piss off Pau, or she will write a song about you! ❤😂😂
Been to 2 Live Concerts and Pau does sing
I think the only voices I've heard from the tracks they use are those of Rudy in Dust to Dust and Alessia Cara in Enter Sandman, but otherwise, the three of them sing since they were kids. Cool reaction as always, keep going down the rabbit hole, please!
First listen since I watched them as young girls doing covers. Very talented! I am opening up to more music again. This song reminded me of road trip singing with my daughters. 👏🏻
Thanks for the reaction! From what I have been able to gather, in following them for awhile, their backing tracks consist of sounds, and other musical instruments, not the ones their playing! Might be exceptions, but haven’t seen anything! Also the only vocal track, I am aware of, is Alessia Cara’s in their cover of Enter Sandman. Throwing this out and see what comes back!!😊⚡️
Paulina is a beast. And many times I asked myself it was a playback, because they are so good...The back tracks are just to fill in, and many bands can`t do it because of the timing. By the way, Paulina activate them.
They also have a click track that is also controlled by Pau. The click, the backing tracks, and the "guide" tracks (the stems from the studio recordings but are only routed to their in-ear monitors) are all handled by Ableton Live and triggered by Pau via two foot pedals. The "on" pedal is two her left and the "off" pedal is just to the right of her right kick drum pedal. There are a couple of "Pau Cam" videos (shot from behind her during their performances) where you can see the trigger pedals.
Another comment about Tedx. This was the last song of the show. I think they had a lot of anxiety built up, knowing the importance of the opportunity that Tedx was for them at such a young age. Pau's energy in particular is at a 10. By the time they get to that outro part of this song, the show is over, they know they nailed it, and it's time to let the last of it all out. There was a sense of relief and release to it. Hard to explain, and maybe it's just me, but I still get that feeling from that ending even in this performance. That outro is tied to that Tedx show, and everything it meant to them.
Of course TW use backing tracks. You’d be extremely hard pressed to find a band out there that doesn’t to some degree.
Obviously some use them much more than others.
It’s really impossible to quantify how much a band uses tracks but if I had to guess, I’d say that 90-95% of what you hear from TW onstage is produced by them.
If your interested in increasing your knowledge base about this band I would strongly recommend watching 2 videos that would help you out.
The first is a masterclass from Pau from Soundcheck Xpo in CDMX (Mexico City) in 2022.
It has a version with English subtitles.
The second is a gear rundown from Dany where she explains how she uses her guitar processor to achieve her massive sound onstage.
If I can figure it out I’ll edit and include links but both should be easily searchable on RUclips.
Don't worry about links in comments, YT doesn't like it. I will find them though, Thank you!
TED X 2017 - The Warning - Survive, from 12:12. And remember, this song was written 6 or 7 years ago... when they were mostly still kids..... AWESOME rocker. "YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"
That drummer is the golden goose , she writes most the lyrics and writes most the melodies on her piano
Simple answer - Pau is just awesome.
Pau jogs and sings in order to learn to control her breath while singing.
One of Top 3 songs for me...that interlude is epic,.
each of them have done gear vlogs... Pau shows and talks about her mic in one she did when she also talks about her drum kit...
TWA ⚡🤘😸🤘⚡ TWA
Check out their performance of Evolve from the VMAs. I think it's their best live recording so far, though this Teatro Metropolitan concert isn't far behind.
I’ve seen them live 3 times in the UK this year and they 100% sing and play live, They use backing tracks of like sound effects in some of the songs, but at no point did I think when I saw them there was guitar backing tracks, when the drums and guitar and the bass kicks in you can feel the floor vibrate and you can tell the difference between someone playing live and the backing track. they are simply outstanding live and Danys vocals never fail she’s absolutely pitch perfect on every song
Love the jam at the end it's so good and they are having so much fun. Check out the next song right after this one at this show Disciple they share vocals in that too. Dust to Dust is Pau the drummer singing lead vocals both are true bangers. Thanks for reacting to TW. ⚡🔥⚡
Yes! "Disciple" next. Same concert.
The backing track in this would be the background piano for instance
the all-female rock group , called The Warning,
for my taste is a rare mix of legendary rock groups like Suzi Quatro, Joan Jett and the black hearts and Heart.
greetings from Mexico.
That's what you call TALENT! Paulina is 100% singing we are built different! Viva MeXicO 🇲🇽
