After seeing the hysterical responses here, let me clarify...this video is not really about The Warning. This is why I got a few facts wrong, for which I apologise, as I have been told I need to show more respect. But I listened to them as much as I could stand. This video is really about getting told repeatedly to listen to this band in the comments on my channel, then getting hounded for not thinking they are the second coming. I had noticed something strange with these Warning fans, so I decided to explore...and here we are! My audience is my age, and so on this video I tracked that journey for a Heavy Rock fan from 1980 to now, to show how much has changed in that time, and hopefully to draw attention to why these old fans react so angrily when anyone sullies the reputation of their little rock princesses. The comments here will be used to create another video which most here will find, I hope, amusing in the same way this was intended. And before I get the obvious replies, the views ARE through the roof on this, so I thank you. And although all The Warning fans are unsubscribing like a BBC employee under investigation, subs are also up on this video. Perhaps there are a whole lot more non Warning fans out there enjoying this immensely!
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Hahaha you're not wrong in your assessment of The Warning fans. My take, if you'll indulge me for a moment, is that many of their older fans (me a 56yr old) grew up on bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, VH etc etc. During the 90's and since then, with some exceptions of course, music kind of lost that element, imo anyway. The Warning came along and though in no way are they reinventing the wheel or anything, they sound fresh too our over seasoned ears 😉 Throw in the fact they're a trio of sisters with English as their second language who not only write their own songs, but the covers they do just sound different. I reckon that's likely due to the fact they are generally covering songs that have a male vocalist, and a four piece. I could go on and on ad nauseum but I won't. I reckon they have more uncle's and grandfather's out there than any band in history. I am genuinely invested in their future and well being Hahaha, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Thank God music is subjective and not a sport where there is a winner and a loser. These girls hit it hard, only COVID slowed them down, although they still recorded an album 'Error' during that time. I honestly don't know how anybody that's not a hater that likes any kind of rock music, is not at least appreciating what The Warning are throwing down. Well I can see why some chicks might not like them, jealous and all how they can be, y'all know
Don't take it too personally. The Warning Army is a thing. There is a VERY interesting story in how they used the internet, and social media to beat the record industry. And there are a whole lot of girl bands... GenZ women bands trying to emulate what they did. It's all very intentional. Brilliant marketing.
It also reminds me of the late 90s/early 00s when I recall some of my young male peers and a number of middle aged men became a little too obsessed with the Corrs. You realise that the immense enthusiasm has little to do with the music, put it that way. Have some attractive young women, sisters, and have them playing guitars, to a certain demographic it's like moths to a flame. OK, The Warning rock a little harder than the Corrs did? Big extra bonus for men who enjoy a particular type of music from a certain era.
I'be been following the girls since 2018 . Very respectable people and very hard working right from the start .They are still young and have achieved alot and write all of their own music until very recently whereby they used other songwriters ,their drummer is their main song writer , exploring different ways how to write .What i like the most about them is that they are not tied to one main genre , mixing rock , metal and punk in to their songs .They are still learning and the best is yet to come , and i think that they are doing a fantastic job so far , cheers fella ! Try watching their mid school concert at the Liceo to see their musicianship and talent at a very early age .
As a 54 year old Mexican, with all due respect you did many assumptions here, and some are completely wrong. Rock in Mexico is HUGE! And has been huge since its inception. Don't asume that just because we don't speak English as our native tongue wouldn't appreciate English Rock. When I was only 6 my favourite group was Queen. Then before I was 10 I was already listening to AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, etc., etc. not to mention Mexico has had great rock bands just not recognized abroad as much, but Rock is a big deal here. One thing I do agree with you though, is UK Rock is king vs American Rock, but once again, there is plenty of great American Rock bands too and, yes Mexican Rock bands, Spaniard Rock bands, Argentinian, etc. Most may play in Spanish, but once again, we all grew up listeting to UK / American / Canadian Rock and we LOVE IT! Lastly, and this in regards to my fellow Warning Mexican gals, how do you compare a XXI century "Hard Rock band" to a XX "Heavy Metal band"? Even if they were both from the same century, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal are not the same! Is like if you also want to compare Heavy with Dead Metal, etc., not the same. Anyway, cheers from Mexico City Mate.
I believe the correct term is Death Metal even if it sounds dead to me. 😉 Carlos Santana became pretty popular over here in Sweden and I saw him perform in Stockholm in the mid '70s. Kiss was great during the '70s as well, then I lost interest.
@@TheUnderdogDe To be honest I wasn't sure which one to use, if Dead or Death...English is confusing some times. 😅 Yes, Santana was big here too of course, also the Beatles, Rollling Stones....heck, my dad (RIP) was super fan of Glen Miller, my mom of Elvis...my point is, to assume that non-English speaking countries wouldn't know much about such prime English speaking artists tells a lot. Cheers to Sweden from Mexico!
Yes, I've heard a lot of great Mexican rock music, most of it from the last twenty years, though I know it goes back much further. Unfortunately, people here (in the U.S.) hardly know or listen to music of any kind in Spanish or any other language but English, unless of course they speak Spanish or are Latino.
I grew up in the 70's and 80's listening to the music of Black Sabath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc. In the mid-70s, when groups like Queen and Pink Floyd came out, my friends and I compared them to the Eagles or the Bee Gees, and even to country music, they were pop groups with beautiful but boring music. We thought the same thing later about Metallica, they were a copy of Judas Priest, As time went by things changed. This is what happens with new bands that have musical quality. They will be recognized after many years. And maybe we will already be dead
Please note their fame is an accident (as in not planned), they just uploaded the video of their Metallica cover because it was too big to attach in the email to their grand-parents.
Thanks Andy. Everything you said and I've already seen about 3 The Warning videos and have a crush on the drummer! You've done nothing but promote them mate!
Paulina is definitely the cute one IMO. Until she starts talking then she won't shut up. Promotion isn't a bad thing and I expect Andy knows exactly what he is doing.
Everybody underestimates the warning, other female vocalists will be covering some of their songs like blackholes and breathe while my favourite album from them is queen of the murder scene especially the title track got a nice solo toward the end, lyrically very good and thats mostly down to paulina she is a very creative musician a generational talent imo.
Why are we talking about the “new wave of British metal” in a video about The Warning? Why are we saying The Warning has no riffs? Have we slipped into some strange alternate reality?
@@MrSudeepdas No, I have great respect for Andy as a musician. I happen to disagree with his approach on this video. It’s no big deal. I think The Warning is a great young band that plays melodic hard rock very well. They have never presented as “heavy metal.”
You Know Your Band has Made the Big Time when People Make Videos Saying The Don’t Like You!!! ( funny thing because you have The Warning in the Title you will get more Views than your other videos) Clever!!!
@@rastaptc By default when learning any instrument you're going to start by playing an already established piece/song, otherwise how else can you really gauge your progression. The first song I learned on guitar was The Animals 'House of the Rising Sun' My uncle felt it was a good one because it has about five of the standard open position chords every guitar player needs to know. Learning to change chords cleanly and in time is crucial, without that you can't play songs, period. When I started their was no Internet, it was all hands on with your teacher playing along with you. Instructional books were also an invaluable tool when your teacher wasn't available
It is totally fine not to like their music. Some people do, some don’t. Are they the greatest band ever, no, but a really good band nonetheless. I think we need to give them some credit for what they have accomplished at such a young age. The oldest sister is 24 years old (youngest 20). They have been a band for 11 years. They write their lyrics and music. They recorded 4 albums, more than 60 original songs and performed hundreds of live concerts. They were invited to open by bands such as Muse (twice), Foo Fighters and G&R. They performed at the MTV VMA’s, MTV EMA and were nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. All this before 25. One may not like their music, but we have to admit this is quite impressive. Also, based on several interviews, videos on their RUclips channel, numerous Instagram/Patreon live sessions, etc. they appear to be genuine good people and have a great relationship with their fans. I think this fuels the passionate and overprotective nature of their fan base.
@@andrepires7687 Come on! Sure it's fine to have a different opinion than us. Besides, it would not look good for the band to have a clown like this promote them.
They are not known in spite of being young; they are known because they are young and relatively attractive. Their musical abilities seem competent, but that's not why they're known, clearly.
@@normp2463 Nah, I'm pretty sure they are the greatest band ever, and I mean ever, of all time, even better than Francisco Terrega and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
They are more into My Chemical Romance, Muse, Halestorm and Kpop than Metallica. I helped fund their first two albums on GFM and Kickstarter, i've loved them for years. Queen of the Murder Scene is my all time favorite album, all 13 songs and the story are great, unlike most concept albums it doesn't bore me to death.
Queen of the Murder Scene, with its profound dark poetry, is second to The Dark Side of the Moon. The comments in this thread show that very few people actually care about the lyrics in a song. What a band is saying and how it is saying it, is defined through a process called songwriting. Almost everyone nowadays is into instrumentation. If people like instrumentation then why listen to songs?
@@MrSudeepdasI think that in addition to perhaps ideological aspects, the most repeated criticism against them is that they are not complex, just that, I think the problem lies in what many have convinced themselves it means to be "good",And that is the complexity. This is a problem that I think was so widespread, in the country of origin of The Warning, but that is also present in certain audiences in other countries, and it's what generates such contradictory perceptions about them
@@lonewolf8667 Maybe you should not opine about a concept album just by listening to its title track. Try the previous song - Dull Knives (Cut Better). ruclips.net/video/74obH1QgOYY/видео.html If you can google the lyrics even better.
I enjoyed listening to The Warning just now. Thanks Andy, Id never heard of them until you released this video. I mean, they are not in the same league as Neil Young or Lou Reed, very few people are, but they are a lot better than Metallica and most of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal I had to listen to round at my mates houses in the early 80`s. Im not going to dis someone because they are attractive, female or from a wealthy background. I generally havent liked the rich people Ive met but you cant choose your parents. However, you can choose to rock, so hats off to these ladies for doing that, and doing a damn good job of it
The Warning didnt came from wealth. His dad had to sell a lot of his property to finance the band. Both their parents pratically decided to exist just to support them. They got lucky that many established rock talents in Mexico took a liking to The Warning and teached them pro bono. Their first exposure happened because their dad couldnt send a video of them playing to their grsndparents by email.so he published it on RUclips and much to their amazement it went viral. Nothing came easy to them. They grew because many people believed in them and did work for free or very low pay for them.
I enjoy all your videos and think you are fun, intelligent and talented dude. But seems weird for you to focus on The Warning as being a group of females and Mexican, instead as musicians first and foremost. I get your point that you were not blown away, perhaps because your expectations were higher due to everyone telling you about ‘the warning’ being the second coming, etc. So they didn’t do it for… I get it. I discovered them by pure accident on RUclips and I have totally enjoyed and appreciate their talent immensely and it is refreshing to see a group of young folks (regardless of sex and ethnicity) playing their instruments and creating their own music.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer OK. So old men are prohibited from liking this band? I guess I'll stick to Andy Williams and Sinatra even though I'm a retired musician of over 30 years and the first live band i saw was the Doors and 100s more through the years.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerNot any old men. Old (wo)men with Ehlers-Danlos skin Syndrome (EDS) and Atropic skin which are characterized by hyperflexibility, skin that is easily bruised, thin and fragile skin.
I love The Warning. All gorgeous and extremely talented. Pau is a beast on drums and vocals. They're what rock and roll is all about, a great time. Ale is a beast on the 5-string bass & looking like a world class model as well. Dany is great at everything she does.
Hmm, not being a seasoned rock fan, I had just assumed you properly researched the bands you discussed especially if discussing their history, influences etc. I usually like your delivery. Of the maybe 5 mins on this 36 minute monologue that you actually stayed on topic, it's clear you did neither here, and the if you were trying to make a point other than the thumbnail suggests, it was not clear. This video felt quite meandering. But it's more my initial disappointment with your lack of research on the supposed band of topic that has me now questioning if I should trust the information you put forward about other bands and musical acts too. I had found your channel to be educational for a newbie-ish person like me. (I'm not young, but most of my 20’s was spent listening to prodigy, oasis, other dance music and hip hop rather than rock or metal) It's a little disappointing to be honest. I don't think any band that gets signed these days to a major label is getting and album out the door without it being produced/mixed to near aesthetic perfection per the labels requirements, so I'll never hold that against any act. I've got no time for people that only want their bands to forever sound like it was recorded in a shed. It stinks of gatekeeping and elitism from fans who'd rather their favourite bands were forever broke, just so that they can think they're cooler than everyone else.
I did research this video. I read up on The Warning's history and listened to their albums. I would not have been able to to say stuff about them if I hadn't. I'm interested, as the thumbnail says, about why my viewers repeatedly tell me to listen to this band, then get annoyed when I don't react like they wanted me to. And on this video, I placed those fans in the history of heavy rock, and told that story. It follows the 12 year old who started out with Venom back in 1980 and end with this band, the Teletubbies of heavy rock. And they are old and grumpy, and can't take any pushback. The responses here are probably all you need to prove rock is dead.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer People ask you to check out a band they're excited about. There is a way to deliver a message that they don't appeal to you without resorting to what are essentially purposeful derogatory comparisons. I get that some fans can be over zealous, but I think most just want a respectful response. If you are getting the request to check them out alot, I can only guess that regular viewers of yours have a cross over in interests here. You mention in this video about viewer numbers dropping, and I wonder if thats a result of other bands fans feeling similarly about perceived disrespectful coverage of some. There are still new bands out there all the time that people get excited about. If you're going to be similarly dismissive of them and their fans, your audience is going to slowly literally die off on you. I would however be really interested in a video of what you think new acts (not just rock, since that's very clearly dead) need to be doing to be rebellious and relevant today. Alot of commentators mention rock and it's subgenres being dead today, but no one ever really ever expands beyond that point, preferring their comments instead to be the final nail in the coffin. Or just like everything else in the world right now are all the old people just going to slink back into the abyss after sucking all the potential out music for short term profit leaving nothing but ashes for the kids.
@@andrepires7687 I fully expect that not everybody has the same musical taste as I do. But when a few people recommend music to me that I don't like, I generally just tell them I gave it a go and it wasn't for me. Even if they kept trying to recommend, I wouldn't feel the need to be overly dismissive of their taste in music, especially if they were excited to share it in the first place.
The Warning are workaholics and perfectionists and have been since kids. They are not virtuosos, but they are very good. They excel at songwriting and lyrics. They play from ballads to almost metal. Very few solos from anyone. They don't really need it. Their harmonies are always killer, and playing live is so much better than studio. What makes The Warning even more interesting is their story. It's hard to believe, and hard to believe how media-friendly they've always been. There are so many vlogs of them on the road, in the studio, and just sitting there explaining their thought processes. It's like they're family. Someone deciding anything after hearing just one song of theirs is like someone taking a bite of okra and proclaiming, "So this is what vegetables taste like."
It is 100 times better to have a band of three people who are very good at what they do... than to have a band with one virtuoso and the rest of them just being the accompaniments of that virtuoso. We already know the disaster that these bands end up in... with one person believing himself superior to his companions... While The Warning is a band designed so that the three of them shine for their own characteristics (one for her passion, the other for her voice and the other for her mere presence and because she has also given the bassist visibility) but without being a one-star band and the other members are the filler... Three good guys make a stronger unit than one virtuoso and three guys who will end up hating the diva or disdaining him and disappearing shortly after as a result of it.
@@WALKINGPHONE You are certainly not wrong about that. Rush comes to mind for me, though they had (RIP Neil) three virtuosos, whatever that really means, but yeah I get what you're saying. It's certainly true with a great band that one weak link will be painfully obvious. Over the year's a ton of bands have had too replace one or even more members (which is very hard to do) so they could realize their potential. The girls of The Warning are all very solid musicians, but it's their songwriting, melodies, and live performance that I think most fans find so compelling, at least for me anyway. I came up in the 80's when the only all female bands were the Go Go's and Vixen, so The Warning are a breath of fresh air who actually rock, not that Vixen couldn't, but unfortunately they fell victim to record label pressure at the time. Blah blah blah okay I'm done 😉
You literally were passive aggressive from the beginning. Then you were mostly incorrect in their back story…. They were 14/12/9 when they went viral and they did it entirely by accident. At their age there is LITERALLY NO WAY to do things how your idols Metallica did things. Crucially… they were NOT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG GIRLS… they were children with zero sexuality at all in their style or appearance. Their songwriting is the number one reason why they are my favourite rock group, speaking as a professional musician who’s extremely picky and has a successful career. Then it’s their personalities. The looks only started in the last couple of years… they intentionally avoided being considered sex objects for most of their career with 3 successful albums behind them before they finally grew up enough to feel confident being beautiful. What an incredibly ignorant and inaccurate video you’ve made.
> Howdy Andy, love your channel and your sagacious meanderings. Electric guitarist here born 1966, west coast USA WA state Rodeo Town, home of the Screaming Trees Mark Lanegan, etc; This youtube of them made me perk up a few months ago. Yeah, they are very easy on the eyes, instrumentally competent, and have a nice stage presence/showmanship - for 2024 that’s a coup, man. ~ *The Warning - Automatic Sun (Live From Vevo Studios)*
shout out to Lanegan and the Trees! Most people in the entertainment business are good looking, so they're not special in that regard. The Beatles started essentially as a boy band.
@@glennandadriansrocktalk > Right on man, I see Mark Pickerel [Trees original drummer] here about town all the time, I’ll pass along a howdy for ya. Pickerel got tapped to temporarily sub for Matt Cameron for one of Krist Novoselic’s music experiments last summer ‘The Bonafide Band’, they made a cool little appearance here in town for GustFest turning back the hands of time for a small moment. Tempus fugit.
Andy you shouldn't have bothered. Maybe I have too much hope, but I don't have too much nostalgia. I was around in the NWOBHM days great times, one of the guys from my local pub is in Iron Maiden but what are you going to say to someone born in 2030, sorry you can't play rock music, its not real you didn't grow up in the 70's! That is rubbish, but for you I get it thats what you need to believe in, thats the feel that does it for you. And yes you can pick and choose albums, if someone said listen to Pink Floyd and you listened to Atom Heart Mother and Piper at the gates of Dawn would you be that impressed? Listen to Animals or Wish you were here. and you would get a totally different feeling. You have obviously not listened to The Warning much, Dany writes some great Riffs. It wasn't quite like you say either, they still weren't famous 5 years after that Enter sandman video, it took them time and a lot of hard work, their first record deal was after about 7 years of practicing, writing, touring, recording and producing their own music independently.
"if someone said listen to Pink Floyd and you listened to Atom Heart Mother and Piper at the gates of Dawn would you be that impressed?" Ofc. Not your average pop rock. Groundbreaking albums.
not only do these girls rock they also allow me to reminisce over all the three-sister four ways i in the 80s was a participant in. how fast the sun sets. how quickly life passes.
Never heard of them but if Andy doesn't like 'em, chances are fairly good I'll love them! i don't mind that we sometimes disagree about music; I often disagree with friends about their musical tastes. And we're all a product of our generational and geographic influences. But it's not not always important to me for each newish band to be a new iconoclast. Green Day was one band alluded to with a little sneer; I love them, especially their earlier raw and funny stuff. The music is just okay, but the lyrics grabbed me. I've said before that lyrics (in bands with vocalists) are often more significant than the music itself. I'm kind of a Bizarro World version of Andy that way.
For anyone watching this video. According to Andy this video isn't really about The Warning. So, ignore all the talk about The Warning. Ignore the comparison of The Warning to Metallica. Ignore the facts Andy gets wrong about The Warning. There ya go. It's not about The Warning 👍
Andy's experiment with free speech and delighting us with his irreverent attitude may need to come to an end if he is going to take aim at my precious The Warning. How DARE YOU, Sir?!! Here in the states the most horrible human beings ever (Gen Z/Millennials) have completely forsaken rock music for auto tuned hip hop and pop country and.... I'm hyperventilating! I need to stop writing...Andy is worse than Emperor Palpatine!
@@stevenfunderburg1623 He didn't go after The Warning. According to Andy this video isn't about The Warning. Why would you come to this silly conclusion? 🤔
I will try to explain why the fans are so apprensive, because as a one I understand where they are comming from, but I also understand some of your points, you have several points about their history wrong, important points, they were viral before metallica notice them, so is not about that, anyway the reason why fans are so protective of them, is because they saw all their history, you can see it in their youtube channel, they have been working hard for ten years and every little accomplishment they had made is very well documented (thats why a lot of fans will correct you about wrong facts, they know the history very well and is part of their charming), there is a long history of the band sharing all their journey with their fans since they were childs, so a lot of fans see them as daughters, nephews as their familly, the warning girls are very active and close to their fans in patreon and in a lot of ways they build a very strong fan base, and a lot of old folks as you can see in the comments see in them a lot of the sound of bands on their youth, so is a very powerfull mix, a band of nice girls that play rock really well and had an amazing journey so far... I will also explain that for me and a lot of fans, their studio albums are just decent... but seeying them playing live is what make the warning fans, actual fans, their first albums are independent and the production is not very good, but the live version of the songs of those albums are like 3 tier above anything they have in studio, only the 2 last albums have been mixed/produced in a more proffesional way... but the rest not so much... in general they are nice people, working hard for a lot of time, with a lot of dedication and being proffesionals, and a lot of bands like metallica, foo fighters, muse, defleppard, guns and roses, evenanesnce, and a lot of others saw the same that their fans and invite them to be part of their tours or other projects... I dont know if they are the saviours of rock, but they are making a lot of people talking about it after a long time in darkness
@@csbsrichDont take it personally, but they are a bit dull to my ears - but who cares, there's plenty of people who like them. There's plenty of room for differing tastes.
@@richardsinger01 Exactly. Yes, they have some riffs, but I don't hear anything new in their music. But good luck to them. Probably a masturbatory fantasy to lots of guys. 🤭 But I don't see why fans have to throw a hissy fit because some of us aren't turned on to them musically.
We're living in a different day and age than the 70s en 80s when rock music was at its peak. At the time, most bands were mostly working on their music, their shows and whatever else rockstars of that era were doing. These days bands become larger by working on their fanbase. This is also very much the case in k-pop, where the music of the act is as important as their relationship with their fanbase. Pop and rockstars are no longer these aloof rock gods of yesteryear. These days bands can no longer afford to hate the press, they cannot afford to feel disdain towards their fans. All that is gone. We no longer have artists that like Roger Waters spit in the face of fans, or a Lou Reed who demonstrated a hatred towards the press, or a Van Morrison who played a concert with his back to the audience. These behaviours are of course very rock and roll, but no longer work in this day and age. As a result we have bands like The Warning who bend over backwards to connect with their fanbase. This leads to a fanbase that is very loyal to the band. Again this is a phenomenon you see in k-pop as well. This relation between artist and fanbase is not necessarily just over the musical content, but has a more personal dimension to it and there is some loss to that. Fans of Led Zeppelin were fans of the music and maybe some of the antics of the band, but no one was a fan of them because Jimmy Page was such a fun and charismatic interviewee. Mostly the music counted, and the occassional story of a toilet being blown up or a hotel being ruined. The bands at the time were beloved because of what they did, either musically or through their bad boy behaviour. They were rock gods and they didn't interact with the common people. These days the market for bad boy behaviour is cornered by politicians. That's where rock and roll is alive and kicking. And politicians are far more dangerous than people that do art. No musician can compete with that. So bands like The Warning are usually at their best behaviour. There is no danger to them. They are people like anyone else, except for their dedication to their art. Their music will not cause anarchy in the UK or any other country on the globe. There is no anger with the world, because they grew up in a house where their ambitions were encouraged. If anyone, blame the parents. They did nothing to stifle their ambitions and kept them from growing bitter at the world. The parents also were able to give them a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. If only they had been poor, the band would have had the right kind of resentment that fits more with rock and roll. As a result we have to live with a band of nice and pleasant sisters that play their instruments well and that write songs about subjects that won't shake the world, in a style that resembles what came before them. They are not innovators in the field of music, they are innovators in marketing music outside the confines of the music industry. Their EP and their first two albums were produced without a record contract, and a large part of their fanbase has been with them since that time. That fanbase is fanatical (as the word implies) to a fault. Hence the backlash to this video. The fans don't want to hear that their favorite girls play a mix of styles that came before them, unlike the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, that were entirely original. You saying their music is meh, feels like an attack on the girls, and you don't score points doing so. I actually applaud you for doing so. It shows a level of respect most fans don't seem to have. To quite a few fans, they are still the little girls that should be treated with kids gloves. But they no longer are little girls and no longer need that protection. I understand why you may find their music meh, because music is not the only experience they provide, so if you judge them solely on that dimension you miss out on the other aspects that make their journey interesting. For those who are only in it for the music, there is little of interest to anything happening in mainstream music. It's all been done before and everything used to be better. That's the state of affairs and bands like The Warning try a different way of becoming succesful. That this way feels weak compared to the old days, I can understand. Rock stars used to be contrarian trouble makers. These girls are far too nice and polished to stand in their shoes.
Maybe mentioned but the metalica cover came about as metalica asked for covers for aniversery of the black album and looked for bands whit history whit metalica music. It was the warning.s international managment that contacted them and asked if they wanted to do a cover whit alissa cara as they share managment. They had 1 week to do it as for music they grew up on they have mentioned queen,billy joel,Elton John, my chemical tomance,muse and they do listen to pretty much any genre and use that inspiration to write there songs and they always wanna try something new and not keep playing same style all the time
I will agree with you but with a counter argument. Yeah, I didn’t start listening to the Warning due to their riffs, they don’t write riffs. They write harmonies, melodies but specially I started listening due to the vocalists. Yes, they’re not Metallica the (arguable) master of harmonies since Master of Puppets, but their written melodies and compositions are suitable to be transliterated to symphonic arrangements, the melodies are indeed fitting. Also, The warning categorize themselves a Rock band BUT Metallica is in essence a Thrash Metal band. (Yes I know they have written Rock, Alternative or even Country songs) but just as you said, they were pioneers of NWBHM and evolved the genre onto their own, along Exodus, Slayer, Testament, etc; even in Hardwired and 72 seasons their latest albums, they still write THRASHY riffs. The Warning has never tried to be Metallica, they just liked to play a couple Metallica songs when they were young, I still don’t know where that argument is coming from. Maybe because of the fact they went viral to Enter Sandman, but after that happened they started to pull out their own sound by writing their own music. They have said they do have some “old school” influences, but they listen to a lot of modern Pop, Disco and Rock and that can be noted in their songs. I don’t listen The Warning to listen to Thrashy riffs, or even heavy music in a “female band” if I wanted to do that I would listen to LoveBites, or Nervosa, or Crypta, etc. At the end of the day you could simply say that you don’t like Rock, Pop-Rock and/or Alternative Rock and that would have sufficed.
They covered a Metallica song but all their original music sounds more like Muse. It's almost seems like he needed filler to get the proper video lenght and didn't have any Muse stories.
HAHAHAHA or maybe I pulled a Biden on you, seems I spend half the time explaining what I meant when texting. I didn't even have a 'smartphone' until about three years ago
For there youth these young woman over the past 10 years have played entertained toured live festivities shows released 1ep and 3 albums drummer of the year wrote all there all origonal songs metal is metal and rock is rock talant is talant
I am a Sabbath fan mate, since 1971. The inventors of heavy metal in 1970. I don't care how the Warning came about,my friend, I think they are great. I have watched your pod casts , and I find you quite entertaining. Metallica never came out of the New wave of British Heavy metal. Why? For a start Metallica are American. In no way British. They borrowed heavily from British metal. That doesn't make you British. Metallica and the Thrash trash that came out of America was like Kiss on steroids. Punk .Bloody horrendous noise. America has only created a few really credible heavy rock bands. Blue Oyster Cult, Van halen , Montrose, Then the immense Queensryche. I take issue with you that Diamond Head were in any way original. That they didn't sound much like a poor mans Sabbath. I have 2 Diamond Head albums in physical form. Am I evil, is a Sabbath track that would have been an outtrack binned by Sabbath. The start of metal and experimental stuff began in 1970 with Black Sabbath. Everything after came their first album. New wave of British heavy metal, were merely the second wave. All of the metal prog, jazz,/ metal/ blues fusion had already been done. All that was left in the 80's was being as heavy as a ton of bricks. Sonic brain killing noise. Metallica are about as Close to the grandfather's of metal as we are to the sun. Bunch of rip off artists. Maybe those friends you claim to have.
Yes queensrchye! What about Hendrix although he was nothing in the u.s. until he went to London. And don't forget Aerosmith in their druggie years. 74 - 76 they were awesome .. legendary hard rockers .
The difference between you and your mates getting together and making a band and The Warning, is that 1 of the girls was in high school, 1 in middle school and 1 in grammar school.... when they SELF RELEASED their first album of original songs. Also comparing them to Metalica is moot. The Warning are not heavy metal, if you heard THEIR version of Sandman from the blacklist album you would see. I thing the reasons you don't like The Warning is because you don't like rock. You like heavy metal, punk, death metal, hair metal etc. That ain't the warning. I think they are outstanding, and in their own way, I appreciate that they have a pure enthusiasm and genuine love for rock, and for the people who listen to them.
I've been around since rock began so i've seen the genre evolve. Currently the warning is one of my favorite rock bands (i've always listened to various genres my whole life) along with band maid. Comparison is the thief of joy someone said. Complexity does not always equal quality. Rock didnt start as technical music, it was about attitude. Judging by the bands you referenced, it appears you come from a limited frame of reference. The warning has covered enter sandman twice. The second version i liked alot better than the original. Liked their version of atlas rise too. There is a reason they have fans from 8 to 80. As an aside, you spent most of you reaction talking about everyone but the subject at hand. Should have called it a nostaligic journey of my favorite sub genres.
I think they are super talented and energetic and very pretty. And polished, as you say. I'm glad they exist. Of course, certain things will never be the same as before. I enjoy listening to you, even if I sometimes don't agree with you I can always see your point (ex., Astral Weeks). Keep going Andy !
Your opinion is your opinion, that’s fine. Looking at your other videos they seem to be mostly on the negative side. I like to keep it positive. Good luck anyway.
Hello, greetings from Venezuela, everything is very good, I respect your opinion, I also have my criticisms (few) about the band, but I have to clarify something, they did not learn to play with the video game "Rock Band" they already played their instruments before That (Dany and Pau especially) what they achieved with the video game was deciding to form a band of the Rock genre, and after that they started making covers of the same genre. BTW: They didn't form their band with friends, high school, or recruiting members since they are sisters, which is why the way they started is also atypical. Personally, I don't think that these aforementioned details take away from the quality or talent of these girls and their band.
I had not heard of the Warning until a few years ago i subscribed to a channel that did reaction videos to bands, he was a religious Franciscan Friar called Guylain Prince, and he started off with one of my favorite bands and we the fans spent many friday nights exploring lyrics, the structure and to eulogies the singer. A lot of us stuck with him through other bands like Rush, Tool etc and after this he started with a young band called Liliac that had done some good covers, and eventually their own material. Then he started talking about another young band The Warning and we spent time exploring the album Queen of the murder scene, a concept album and then the Abum Error. I found i liked the band the more i listened and explored the lyrics, maybe it is just different tastes in music, as i admit to liking the Black album and enter sandman, and with Iron Maiden i did not buy one of their albums until Dance of death, and after enjoying the album had to work backwards to enjoy all the different era
An album like Queen of the Murder Scene would have been a major hit in the 70s. This guy talks about rock but misses one important aspect of rock - profound insightful lyrics.
This is a reasoned reply that will send me on a mooch around the lyrics and concept of that Murder Scene album. But why do you think their fans are so aggressive at any criticism of them? This what I am more interested in?
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerI think this is a feature of online discourse in our current era. I see it all over RUclips comments on all sorts of videos. And I have been guilty of it myself, but I am evolving. LOL. The internet has become a giant outrage-generating machine. People love to bicker and get offended and spread hate online. (Interestingly enough, The Warning has written songs about this topic.)
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerThe live concert from 2023 at The Pepsi Center (I know, I know) in Mexico City is probably the best place to see The Warning at their best. The whole show is on RUclips.
The Warning's music is of their generation, not yours. It is not rebellious. Rather it is filled with anger and confusion--the way their generation processes the world. Their audiences cross generations with a much higher % of 20-somethings than the older bands you speak of. I love many classic bands and would not compare The Warning to many of them. But there is more depth than I think you recognize. You have some valid opinions. But be careful about generational provincialism. This generation has something to say too--it may just be harder to find. For themselves too.
Great video. I loved the history lesson - though I think many people did not understand it. My brother got the Encyclopedia Metallica back in the day and I read it avidly. Please do continue to make this sort of video!
Hello, greetings from Venezuela, another detail that you are distorting a little, when you say that Metallica would not share a cover hypothetically made by you and your friends because they are a bunch of old people, but the one from The Warning would do so because they are young girls. and pretty, let me clarify that when they made that cove they were not girls, they were literally little girls of 9, 12 and 14 years old, so your argument does not hold up anywhere, unless you imply that Metallica are perverts. I have only listened to 7 minutes of your video and there are already two pieces of information with nuances different from the real facts and that makes your review lose credibility, but not your opinion since you are free to like the Band or not, but please do not misinform others. people, thank you.
Not sure how well travelled this chap is but o do recommend him to travel more and listen to the music in Latin America, especially Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico even Guatemala. In Latin America they play Rock and very good one the only problem is that he might be able to understand it because is in Spanish. Carlos Santana is Mexican and plays amazing tunes and he started playing Mexican music. Listen to the music of Mexico and is not just traditional Music , Mexico offers loads of types of music same as Argentina from Tierra de fuego to Tijuana and other countries in the continent. Music is Universal. Cheers
You talk a good game, I suppose. I'm in my 70s, I played in bands for about 20 years and I've all but given up on modern music. The Warning are not trying to be anything but a band who love writing and playing their music, most of which I quite like. They don't claim to be representative of any particular genre. You either like it or you don't. To make an entire video rubbishing a band because they don't measure up to your personal (and somewhat weird) expectations seems pretty extreme. I won't like your video, but your're entitled to your opinion.
They were 3 kids who were taking piano, lessons, their dad brought home the Rock band video game which bred a desire to learn about rock music, so the oldest plays guitar in the game the next play drums in the game the youngest couldnt really play the game but watches & likes the bass, so their dad asks if they want to learn the real instruments, they say yes, so although he had a pretty good job he still needed to sell his Harley motorcycle to pay for instruments & lessons... they work hard and then the youngest was finally big enough to hold a bass & take lessons... so they try learning songs they played on the game Rock band... they're doing pretty good and they want to show their grandparents how theyre doing, but they cant email them the video because the file is to big, so they upload it to youtube... and it goes viral, and they thought from all this excitment. Maybe they could do this for a living, so they started writing songs... Now I was in several bands in the 80s and if we had the options of youtube back then we probably would have tried to do the same... As to Metalicas influence, Metalica DIDNT share it... Kirk Hammett, commented on it... he said their drummer kicked ass... People in general shared it, I know I did when I first saw it... someone shared it to Ellen... and thet was MORE publicly. They DIDNT get a record deal, and put out albums they crowd funded & put out an EP, and crowd funded again & put out 2 INDEPENDANT LPs... they put out a 2nd EP &THEN they got signed... for their 3rd LP, and their 4th... Now I dont know how many of The Warning songs you've listened to but obviously you haven't listened to all of it, or even many of them, because they do have riffs, but the thing with The Warning is, they dont play a particular style, they play The Warnings style. I sat & listened to you talk & you talked about how Metalica, took what they wanted & did their OWN THING they tried to offend, to be in older people's face, to shock... That doesn't work nowadays. It just turns people away... I think you listened to 2 or 3 songs & and didn't hear YOUR idea of what Rock is!!! So you go off on a Rant about how The Warning isnt raw or rough... I listened this, and basically it seems to be the equivalent of an old man standing there yelling get off my lawn, at the kids walking by... I'm sorry you didnt "GET" The Warning I guess if they arent rough or "Evil" enough for you they cant be good... Well I dont think The Warning really need you... You're just rain off a turtles back... Enjoy your day, I'm pretty Sure The Warning will enjoy theirs
@@kevinmoore5053 WOW nice thesis and all accurate except that they turned down some offers from labels that wanted to change them, this was briefly explained by Dany during their Ted X performance, which by the way sealed the deal for me as a fan of them. Their performance of Survive from that show, damn! Pau officially stole my heart on that one
I agree with Andy. It is not a matter of not getting them, there is not much to get or not to get. They exist and I am super happy for their success but their music just does not really appeal to me. Maybe someday they will put out something I like more but it hasn’t happened yet. It is okay not to like some things out there.
Andy - These girls have promoted their band the way you have said is correct; on RUclips and through Patreon. Before you make any final judgements, see if you can find someone with their entire set from the Poland Rock festival from a few months ago. There are only two songs available on RUclips right now, Disciple and Automatic Sun.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Ha! OK Andy, it wouldn't be you without the "But..." Now, even if you don't like the style of music they play, you should give them credit for actually learning to play musical instruments and singing without autotune. A lot of people don't bother with that stuff anymore. Just let the computers fix it.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Ok, I just finished your conversation with Phil Aston (very interesting). During the conversation, you mentioned that (compared to a Deep Purple track) The Warning drumming sounded processed. I agree with you here. I have their latest album on CD, listened to it one time, and put it away. The whole recording was over-processed. I only listen to The Warning when they play live. That is why I asked you if you could find their live set from the Poland Rock festival. It was recorded completely live that night.
It is your channel and you have your right to your opinions but I differ in many and there were also many errors in the investigation that I simply cannot let go, I am not going to force you to like The warning, this comment is more for those who had certain interest in the band and they can be influenced to no longer give them a chance, you say that if a band is good you don't have to choose one album or another, I think the perfect example is Metallica, many of us have not liked their work since Death Magnetic or even before, but still we can say that we love Metallica, this is music, this is art and for everyone it will be subjective, you talk as if everything had been easy just because Metallica reacted to one of their videos, removing or belittling learning to play that cover at their young age and as if that already guaranteed them places in the best venues and festivals, leaving behind 10 years of career, composing 4 albums and hundreds of presentations, it seems elitist or old man's mentality to criticize that their interest to form the band came from Rock Band, ignoring that all his life his parents instilled in him a taste for rock and one of his family activities was to watch rock concerts as a family, rock is not only guitar solos and fast ones , they are arrangements and chord changes and their combinations and it is something that characterizes Danny, yet you talk about how they don't have solos which makes me wonder if you really listened to them or just one or two songs and you said this is not for me, it's okay but me I wouldn't feel I have the right to criticize something if I didn't analyze it completely and well. To those who read this and don't know The Warning, give them a chance and form your own opinion.
The Warning are not a metal band. To compare them to Metallica is comparing apples to oranges. Furthermore, every band that makes it big has had a good portion of old curmudgeons that dismissed them. Metallica is one of them. The Warning are the first band to accomplish mastering social media AND being accomplished song writers with compelling lyrics and hooky, riff heavy, hard rock songs. Unfortunately there are a lot of dinosaurs who will always shit on the new generation of talent and they will get left behind. The Warning aren't like bands from 40 years ago and thats a good thing.
Any band that evolves from Social Media is going to attract some attention. I've spotted quite a few over the years that interest me for a while and The Warning were one of those bands. I really like a song called "Ugh" from their first album but like a whole load of stuff I drifted away from them only to have their social media presence coming my direction quite regularly. I would have to see them live to really form an opinion. American Idiot was Green Day of course and I have to like them. As a guitar tutor they've paid my mortgage for me over the years. ;)
I didn't expect you to champion their music, but considering how often you talk about the path to success being different than it was in the past, I expected you to at least take an interest in how they got from a basement to Wacken without the old system.
I shared this video with an old, music-geek friend in his late 50’s now living in the US who grew up in Ipswich. Of course, he posted a photo of his preserved, archival copy of the Encyclopedia Metallica and said the following: I enjoyed that. Thanks for sending along. Old and crotchety and full of opinions... just like me! Haha
Why do listeners from your generation and older like The Warning? I think because The Warning aren't fk'n rap, or urban, or Beiber, or Swift, or Timberlake, or samples, or autotune... You get the idea -- all the reasons music started trending towards being absolute crap in the 90's. It's as if the audience stopped demanding good music and more or less agreed to let the music industry decide what good music is **for** them. The Warning has a knack for blending Hard Rock, Metal, Punk, Grunge, Alt, and even pop into something that triggers a nostalgic ear. Not only do I like their music, but they have compelled me to actually *buy* music for the first time in over two decades. No other band has done that since the early 2000's. So ya! I like em'!! Opinions vary.
So you don't make the effort to look for the good rock bands, which there are plenty right now, in spite of your complaining about bad pop and bad rap, and instead, you go listening to a boring one because they're trending on your facebook and they're hot girls? Did I get that right?
@@Lultschful Nope, you got it wrong. There just aren't "plenty" of good rock bands today. There are darned few. That is unarguable. Maybe some day you will learn what "good" rock is on your own instead of being so dependent on the industry to decide that **for** you. You should also work on learning how to control your own emotions instead of demanding everyone else agree with you in order to control your emotions **for** you. You are demonstrating a pattern of external dependence. Learn how to navigate the world on your own so you don't have to rely on everyone else. Good luck, sweetie!
All you needed to say is "I don't like The Warning" and you would've saved us all a lot of time with your rather pointless arguments. When you have to repeat twice that they are a three attractive sister (Yeah, girls) band from México and explain what Rockband video game is all about to your audience, it's clear to me that more than musical taste it's your prejudges you'r trying to argue with. They could've kept on doing covers of "Old male bands" and seat waiting till a record label signed them to be famous but they chose to work harder (Crowd founding supported) remain independent and make their own "Generic" music which is much more than most of emerging bands usually do. Just pleas keep it professional and respectful next time. PD. It was plain unfair to compare them with Metallica, I mean the oldest of them is 24 yo. The good thing for you is that your channel will really blow up (In the best meaning of the word) after this. Best of luck!
I get a fatherly pride watching them rock out. And they are so down to earth. So I root for them to kill it. They are masters at song structure and stage presents but will never be shredders or writers of epic prog masterworks. But they will put on a good show with a lot of good sing along songs that rock.
As best I can tell from your stream of consciousness discourse on the NWOBHM, you are a metal head at heart, and seem to be judging The Warning from that perspective. While they do incorporate elements of classic heavy metal into their music, they also blend in hard rock, punk and alternative into their own recognizable and unique sound. Most importantly, they have always written songs (with special emphasis on the lyrics) for themselves; and as much as it may dismay you, it just so happens that hundreds of thousands of people around the world like their songs as well. If their music (which I suspect you have only heard a small sample of) isn’t your thing that’s fine, then don’t listen to it. Not sure why you felt compelled to spend over 30 minutes trying to explain it with your condescending and disparaging remarks.
Because I was bombarded by comments telling me to listen to them which grew angry when I said i though they were only ok. I had a really long conversation that actually resolved amicably but it got me thinking. Why are these old men so protective about this average rock band?
I like Bowie have almost all his music, From manish boys to everything changes. Could you imagine the Beatles with two drummer's (macartny's) a drummer too.
Why are you comparing The Warning with Metallica? The former are not metal - they are more hard rock. When Metallica asked about 20 odd bands to reimagine Enter Sandman for Black List album in 2021, only The Warning showed their virtuosity by thinking outside the iconic riff & structure of the original. The others including Ghost failed. BTW if at 14, 12 & 9, you and your mates had covered Enter Sandman like the way these girls did in 2014, Metallica would have praised you as well. The girls didn't start music with Rock Band video game. They were trained on classical piano right from their early childhood. Rock is about rebellion - the voice of youth. That is why lyrics become such an important part of a rock song apart from its music. The profound poetry these girls have written is second only to Dylan, Cohen & Waters. You need to hear their 2nd & 3rd albums. But then you are not into lyrics, are you? A song is a song because it has got words in it. What a band is saying & how it is saying it, is important. Egoistic instrumentation may look attractive but whether it is necessary for a song is another matter. Miles Davis famously said "It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play." The Warning epitomize his thoughts. Subtlety. Intellectualism. These are words alien to you, I guess.
You could be right and Wikipedia wrong. From Wikipedia: 'Their parents' passion and their playing the video game Rock Band led the sisters to rock music. Following the first Rock Band jams, Daniela and Paulina selected guitar and drums as their primary instruments, respectively' This is a statement about living in a post Rock Band video game age. They look like the characters in that game and move in the same way. That is worth pointing out if you are interested in how culture works. The reason I mentioned Metallica is because their cover version made them famous, and I explained how that song sits in the history of Metallica moving from cutting edge thrash metal band to stadium rock. Now I never said they were terrible, I am more interested in the hysterical response of their fans to any criticism of this band and what that means. The comments here have been enlightening. Please watch my 'What makes all songs great video' or my 'Lyric Blindness' video to undo your false assumption about me not listening to lyrics.
@@emanuelrusiecki6670They are not very different from any other army, the difference is that the old armies did not have social networks, the last great bands that now fill stadiums are more than 40 years old, So back then in the 80's we would hardly seen what we see now days on social media, but the army has always been son intense and also something that create de problem is because much of what andy said here is either wrong or a misrepresentation of the history of the band, he take the history from Wikipedia and filled with much of their prejudices
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerIt's not wrong but it's quite biased and many of the details you filled in (probably unconsciously) with your prejudices. Yes, the girls played rock band, but they didn't start with rock band, Rock band was their inspiration to want to know more about rock music, But by then, they were already playing classical piano. It's true that Metallica saw their cover, and it's true that they put it on the internet, it's true that they have a contract today, but the problem is how you connected the dots, When they uploaded the cover, they weren't an actual professional band, it was just them practicing, at that point they had played at their school yard, but that's it, And yes Metallica saw them but didn't give them any contract, and they didn't get any contract until 2020, And it wasn't with Metallica's record label. And much of your video is like that, you take a very partial story taken from an internet page and you fill it with your own conclusions, and I think you don't even realize it.
Hi Andy I do not believe you are making a video about The warning! Firstly I am from the UK, I am 61 years old and a big British Heavy Rock fan. I am a big fan of Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple, In Rock is their seminal record in my opinion but live well Made in Japan is for me the best live album ever made, the improvisation is just off the charts. I love all that British rock and prog stuff of the 70's, Sabbath, Zepp, Floyd, Yes, Genesis, ELP, ect. Now fast forward 50 years and we have The Warning which are just absolutely electric, I have not been so excited about a new band for decades. To me they are just fantastic and growing all the time and maybe their best stuff is yet to come. Remember Dark Side of The Moon was Floyd's 8th studio album and The Wall was their 11th! I am really interested in what you have to say about this band.
I watched their video Evolve. The clip is quite interesting (thanks to the drummer), but the music is boring. After listening to three of their songs I would get a headache. They sound like a harder Green Day, I didn't like hearing that band on the radio. I only liked two albums by Metallica - 2nd and 3rd and then I could not stand them. I consider Nothing Else Matters to be the worst song I've ever heard. My favorite rock album is ZZ Top - Afterburner and DP - The Perfect Strangers, and Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time. I didn't like NIrvana either, only a few songs by Soundgarden, Alice in Chains - DIrt album was good
I must say this. I have noticed that men- particularly middle aged heterosexual men - generally seem to massively overestimate music created by attractive young women. That's just an observation. Teenage boys in addition to middle aged men are particularly prone to this. I knew some teenage lads in the 1990s who suddenly got into the Spice Girls when they'd been listening to Prodigy and Blur (and they wouldn't have dreamed of listening to Take That or Boyzone). I also think of all the middle aged men I come across on RUclips who inexplicably seem to love the shrill vocals and saccharine music of ABBA, middle aged men who- coincidentally I am sure- would have been teenage boys in the 1970s when Agneta and Frida or whatever their names are, were strutting their stuff.
Very enjoyable video, Andy (but then, aren't they all?) I actually quite like The Warning & saw them live at smallish venue near my hometown back in September. They were tight, high-energy and while not virtuosos, they could play quite well. It all sounded live to me (aside from some extraneous percussion elements on a song or two) and they had zero stage props ... a few lights, a few amps, nothing more. While I'm not in the business of trying to convince anyone to like bands that I like (or vice-versa), I will disagree with your assessment that they don't write their own songs and that they don't have riffs. The originality of said material/riffs is up for debate, of course, but in the context of your Metallica comparison, these girls are just repurposing the riffs that they listened to growing up in the same way Metallica did with the riffs they derived from their NWOBHM idols. The stuff on "Kill 'em All" was deep in the shadow of Diamond Head, Budgie, etc. Did The Warning take a different route to notoriety than Metallica did? Absolutely. But in this era, you have to take a different route, don't you? If labels still existed and still sent scouts out to clubs, or bands sent in demo tapes to record companies hoping to get signed, that'd be a whole different ball of wax. But we all know that's no longer the reality, so alternate paths must be taken. Because The Warning's video of them playing "Enter Sandman" was filmed when they were in their very early teens, I tend to think that Metallica taking note of it was more due to the novelty of it being three young Mexican girls playing it, rather than it being because they're attractive. If you watch that video, they look to be approx. between 12-15 years old and are certainly not dressed provocatively whatsoever. All that said, it sure would be great if there was an exciting underground of hard rockin' bands again like there was back in the 80s, no question. But in the absence of that, I'll settle for The Warning and their ilk over Dua Lipa and Bad Bunny every day of the week.
Yes, I can see why their Enter Sandman video got so popular, they are so young but serious and have attitude. I don't think people are quite getting my point here. I am saying what I see, based upon their fans repeatedly telling me to go listen to them. Their response to criticism is hysterical. My response is 'what is the fuss all about?' I am interested in the cultural implications. Are they the saviours of rock or the final last gasp as the power of rock ends with this Wiggles like wimper.

Yes. Latin America still loves rock, hard rock, heavy metal-at least until the 2010s. I used to visit Mexico-mainly Oaxaca, but also Mexico City-on an annual basis, and the kids were into metal. But I haven’t been there in the last decade. Maybe things have changed. BTW-I like Human League. 😊
There is so much you misunderstand about The Warning. The video game Rock band is what got them interested in playing rock not how they learned to play. They all started playing different instruments separately. After they had played for a year or so they then got the idea to form a band. As for the video of them playing enter sandman. They were ages 7, 10 and 12 years old. The video got a million views in 24 hours. Only after that did Metallica comment on them. After that Vid they spent years and thousands of hours practicing and honing their craft. They paid their dues .If you don't like the music that's ok.Just say so. But you dont have to trash the band. And make some very uninformed comments to back up your point. At least get your facts straight. And by the way Metalica liked them Enough to invite them to be on The blacklist Album.
Wow, 30 minutes of a guy trying to justify his own inadequacies with an incoherent history of rock by a guy half my age. Bro, The Warning will not hurt you. Ease up and self evaluate. Jealousy rant 101.
@@killesports5882 if this video was about Sleep Token would you be as upset? Andy's schtick is being a pompous British douchebag when in reality he is a talented and knowledgeable musician. Not that that can inform an opinion though. Get over your crush and get a grip on reality
Regardless of how much I don’t like popular music today, rock music is not coming back anymore than Jazz is. I love rock and jazz, but it’s had its day. Today’s culture is different from when I grew in 60s and 70s. No matter how much my dad, and now me, love the big band era of his youth, that hasn’t and won’t come back either. I like the Warning and saw them live in Brooklyn a few months ago. It was good, but no comparison to Led Zeppelin at MSG in 73, but that was then, and it won’t happen again.
Man, you seem like that old guy shaking fist "get off my lawn." I'm actually older than you and been all those places. You don't seem to know anything about them. They have fought their way and earned the acclaim they're getting. They didn't just get a record deal. They turned them down for years because "you can't tell us what to wear and what to play." It is the real thing. They aren't a pro-tool band. They don't use pitch correction. You just decided something. Didn't pay attention. And have started talking.
@@richardsinger01 But he was not liking them for all the wrong reasons. I don't actually think he's listened to much. I agree that these girly girls are unlikely hard rock stars but there is nothing phony or contrived about them. I think that's his problem with them. They've put in the sweat and time and years for the love of it. They beat the record industry that wanted them to be those cute little girls playing and dressing what the label wanted. He's wrong but he'll probably never admit it.
Yes, the structure of the video addresses this fact. I keep getting told to listen to them, over and over. So I did and I don't get it, but I'm interested in the fact they look like a Guitar Hero band and that their fans are so old, or at least the ones are that get miffed by any criticism of their little rock princesses. This grew out of a long argument I had on here with a Warning fan. In the end we got to a reasoned and friendly conclusion and he seemed quite excited that i would make such a video. And I did, and I think it is an interesting area of study. Btw, they are pro tooled, I can hear it. Not as bad as many modern bands however
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer I can explain why a lot of their fans are older. We watched them grow up. They were little girls. It was an amusing meme. They were ubiquitous on social media. Who knows social media better than GenZ girls. They took us everywhere with them. When they came home they'd tell us about their adventures minute by minute. The 3 very compelling sisters being sisters. Day after day year after year. They have thousands and thousands of grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles all over the world. We know their mom and dad, their manager, their entire crew... everyone around them. There is an additional layer to their fans. We are proud as parents of them and how hard they work and ya, their music. It is good and you don't give them enough credit. That's why. I'll take your word for it that you've actually listened to them. The things you say just tell us that watched them grow up and know their every struggle... go... what is he talking about. If you want to understand then take a few minutes and watch these. The Ellen Vlog and Berklee College when they were little kids. And a trip to Rock Band studios. ruclips.net/video/l3z0jQuA3i8/видео.html The Argentina Vlog... ruclips.net/video/EODP2trJXb0/видео.html My guess is that you've listened to "Keep Me Fed" and a couple other videos. Keep Me Fed does have a lot of production. They were literally writing and recording between gigs with other people and producers and ya, there is more in the last album. There is criticism of that fact. It's a good album but it's not the 3 of them twerking every note in their basement. There are just thousands of people in the Spanish-speaking world and the English-speaking world that know way too much about them. And they... we show up for them. And among us are some of the biggest old-time bands in the world. Anyway, they are great people and they are workaholics and they deserve everything their getting.
You know if my parents heard metallica coming from my room or car stereo it would have been "WTF IS THAT AWFUL NOISE". 30 years later, Metallica is bumper music on sporting events.. and not only do they not even comment on it, I might have caught mom tapping her foot. And yeah, mom and dad hated rock music--- but did watch the grand finale of live aid.
This take is the same as almost every male opinion I’ve heard in my 53 years on Earth. Music was better back then, I discovered this band before they were popular so you are a poser for liking them now. I walked uphill to see my favorite band and uphill to get home. Repetitive takes from our generation, our fathers and our grandfathers generation. Create a new original opinion and get back to me.
is there anything organic , " real " about this band ?? Create a real and thoughtful response and get back to me .., is there anything like Sad Wings Of Destiny here , or Sabotage , or Ride the Lightning ,
@@Matias-music-71 Did I mention anything about The Warning? My response was about his whole take that sounded like a old man yelling at someone to get off his lawn.
@@ChadHuisinga , the whole take is about erhmm The Warning in a way and the music industry and the many bands that come out now , but lacking representation from an organic place of growth , .., so care to elaborate on your " this sounding like a old man yelling at ......, " did you watch the video ? Care to take on his points and be able to answer to them ? The point was that this is like the Allegory Of The Cave , we now looking at reflections , but where is the genuine organic and non cliche ?? The real if you will ...., ??
This is Andy’s own comment about the video…. ..”this video is not really about The Warning” Copied from his own comment… Why are so vehemently willing to argue about the merits of a band you don’t enjoy? Go listen to what you enjoy. My comment was all about his opinion that is so old school and been repeated by so many people in my generation and older that it was not original or that interesting.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. But I personally don't support much of what you have contributed, and I would guess that you probably don't really care. But I think you are in a room of few supporters. I've been a fan of The Warning for a year now, among many other new young bands. I have viewed hundreds of videos of The Warning and other young bands, and videos from commenters and reactions to their videos. Out of the total videos I've watched, which included average people not too knowledgeable in music, as well as professional musicians, teachers, music scholars, etc... yours is the first video which breathes so much negativity into the accomplishments, of not just The Warning, but it would seem any other young bands emerging, producing exceptional music. One thing that impresses me the most about The Warning, not only are they incredibly talented, but their have a high degree of integrity and self-respect. They don't parade themselves around on stage half-naked. They are definetely very beautiful young women, which in of itself is not bad, but they don't parade themselves around in an overt sexual way. They present themselves as very confident young women, and let their talent and music speak for them. Your video came into my feed unsolicited, probably because it had "The Warning" in the title. I decided to watch ... most of it. I will be giving you a thumbs down, and unlikely to view any of your other videos.
@@MassimoAngotzi I think the English was fine, but I'll admit probably a little too close how I just talk, so probably not completely coherent in just text. I have edited so it reads better. I will also highlight upon reflection that I'm not really happy with the sentiment I put forward on this comment. It is reactionary and doesn't in any way elaborate properly on the issues I have with the video. I am choosing not to delete as I don't want to pretend I am beyond reproach with my views and actions.
If you're a guitar player then Rockband is BS, THERE'S NO STRINGS! What that game does well is expose youngster's to music they've likely never heard before. The Warning are a fantastic young band, and they literally seem to be workaholics. They are under contract for three more albums with their current label. Their live cover of Atlas Rise from The Whiskey a go go show, IMO is better than Enter Sandman. To do that live as a trio at their ages at that time is something special!!
Thanks for your video. It made me laugh, it made me reminisce (which I will refer to later), and as a 64-year-old Australian who grew up liking hard/heavy(ish) rock, I can relate to a lot of what you said. Woops, sorry this is going to be a bit long. I’m also a fan of the Warning (after not paying much attention to hard rock bands from the last 20 or so years), and I’m not entirely sure why I singled them out. Maybe It’s for the reasons you suggested. Maybe I like these young women because they are not threatening (a silly reason, for sure). Who knows? They do seem respectful and disciplined, having each learned piano when they were about 6 years old (I think). All I know is that I like this band's music and their story. During their school years, they would do homework and music practice every night. Then came “Rock Band”, followed by real instruments, then they formed a cover band (at ages 9, 12, & 14), followed by songwriting (when the youngest was around 10 years old). I suppose they are musicians first and rockers second. And as a fan of The Warning, I did initially feel that instinctive desire to make you “see the error of your ways”! Maybe IF you heard this song, or that one… etc. But then again, NO! The Warning are not what you like, and that’s fine. In case you made it this far, I just want to mention the "reminiscence" stuff: I bought that book Encyclopedia Metallica, but I don’t seem to have it anymore. I also hated those New Romantic bands. I can remember the band patches. I had them on a blanket, so probably not very cool. Your band-name comments made me laugh so much! In the 80's, I put a compilation of my favourite heavy metal songs on a cassette. There were lots of compilation albums at the time with those ridiculous names. I titled my cassette Black Axe! (with tongue-in-cheek).😁 I grew up with Slade, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and others in the early to mid 70’s. British punk rock bands never appealed to me because they couldn’t play very well, but they did have a positive effect (as you point out) on many bands that followed. Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
I understand where Andy is coming from. Having been a youth and teenager in Glasgow during the 70's/80's I've experience countless bands and the changes in 'rock' live at the Greens Playhouse which was renamed the Apollo, the best venue in the world in its day.. Seen it all, been there got the 'tshirts' as they say. These girls are just the latest incarnation and good luck to them. They may not be Quo, the Who, ac/dc, Bowie and the Spiders, Todd Rundgren, Rush, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden or any others I have been spoiled with, but they are in a minority of new bands doing this kind of stuff successfully with the aid of MSM they will find mass appeal. For me they are the Rock/Metal version of 'Stars on 45 albums' regurgitating what is formulaic and successful but they are committed and do it well and their fans love it. The latest generation needs live music to see just as I did. So why knock it ? Just don't listen to it or buy it if you don't like, but allow it its place.
You couldn't be any more off course to think TW aren't leading a rebellion and obviously haven't listened to any of their lyrics. One of their main themes in most their music is the dire shape society is in today. (A topic a bitter old rocker like you might agree with) It's as important, to the youth of today's society, as the war protests of 60s and 70s rock. It just so happens that their name became "The Warning" for a reason. At the time their name chose them, when they were literally children, they had no idea what their future would become. Grab a cup of tea, maybe a crumpet or whatever you call them, and put your feet up and just read their lyrics. Don't even listen to the music and you might gain a little insight into what they're saying with their music. You can't get more rock and roll with the message they're sending.
@@andrepires7687 I'm not talking about their music or comparing them to anyone. I'm talking about the message in their lyrics and them rebelling against the system. Everybody's got the right to their opinion about music, but not the right to spread falsehoods about someone you know nothing about. He appears to know nothing about their musical education, their musical influences, how they've financed their ability to continue doing what they love, among several other things. I suggest anyone making accusations about someone in a public forum, do some research first.
Accusations about what? He said that they are ok, competent, but generic. They are also wonderful people? Ok, good, but their moral virtues have nothing to do with the music.
Bloody hell, mate, you talk exactly like a boomer. How many times a day you te younger people to get out of your lawn? You have forgotten how the elders spoke sh*t about you just for being younger and how back in their days was when things were done properly? You disparage them for getting interested in rock because of a game. The older folks of your yime would piss on you for getting interested in rock because you watched TV or bought an LP, for them that was cutting corners instead of much harder it was for them. You feel me, fella? Old geezer talk from a rock head! Christ!
Really? That's the whole argument? "Rock should be aggressive and rebellious" 🤣. Even pseudo-analysts like Fantano or PunkRockMBA could make a more complete critique🤣..For half the video I was totally out, it's evident that you have zero context of the band... Anyway, there is nothing more rebellious, aggressive, brave and transgressive than 3 talented, charismatic and hard-working women redefining what rock means, opening a new gap in the genre, delivering a proposal that has transcended decades and subgenres of rock/metal, countries, languages and generations of fans... showing that rock can also be fun, honest and elegant, recovering human values, innovating in the way of forming a team and a band without the need to sexualize or live off controversy... 3 little girls with their "bubblegum" riffs have been more rebellious and "anti-system" throughout the concept of their albums than many "Vikings" with their misguided anarchism.....peace ✌🏻
Andy, I must admit that you encapsulate so well that moment in time when people like Venom were pushing boundaries and we were all confused (before genre Talibanism). Metallica were fond of Sabbath, Misfits, Killing joke, so what? Those were times of cold war and nuclear paranoia, tape trading and fanzines. Very analogue times
Ask the people that The Warning have opened for what they think about The Warning. Never heard of frost till now, and I like Robinson and Jerome, Jethro tull, garbage and ABBA. Also can't beat a bit of Louis Armstrong. (yes I'm that old).
No riffs, no cool drum beats in an Warning song???? Have you ever heard one of their songs? Or is this just a piss take rant from a contrarian just because?
errm well it is his YT channel which is about opinions on music. Maybe you'd like him to sit there in silence occasionally interspersed with short comments. Ay caramba, as they say in Mexico.
Amigo, y un dato: México, no es sudamérica. y tenemos un bagaje musical extraordinario, por si no lo sabes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You like Metallica. I do too. The warning is not Metallica and they never pretended to be Metallica. Gatekeeping is not good. Play rock however you want it. Most of those rock stars in the 80s were horrible people. I am surprised some of them made it out alive . lol
There was once a young lady who wanted to enter the realm of rock. She travelled far and wide, learning skills and gaining the knowledge to enter that hallowed kingdom. And after many years of study she ventured forth to the realm of rock and headed to the entrance of that kingdom. 'Who are you?' said the gatekeeper 'I am a young lady who wishes to enter the realm of rock, who are you?' said the young lady 'I am the RUclipsr Andy Edwards who once drummed for Robert Plant, but now resides here as the gatekeeper of rock, a question...do you sound like Metallica?' 'No' said the lady.... 'Well, sling yer hook you vile rock strumpet!!!' retorted Andy Edwards. Do you mean something like this?
@AndyEdwardsDrummer -- Since you made it clear this video was not about The Warning -- just that you were prompted to make this video by fans of The Warning -- I forgive you your fact errors about the band. And, in fact, as a 56-year-old man from the USA who's seen The Warning in concert 7 times and tries not to take himself extremely seriously, I can confirm that The Warning's biggest supporters from my country and in our age group are not fans, we're evangelists (I say "we" because it's a charge to which I plead guilty and have been sentenced to occasional terms of self-mockery). And in this post, you show yourself to be, if not an evangelist for, then a fervent advocate for MWOBHM; an arbiter of what it is and is not. And you make a very strong case for what it is and is not. Your insight stands up to anyone else's regarding who, if anyone, is a proper young standard-bearer for MWOBHM. Even if I concede the point that Metallica's Enter Sandman was the song that most influenced The Warning, you said it yourself -- Metallica from the Black Album forward was something not quite in the tradition of MWOBHM. If that's the baton they're carrying -- that's not a Metal baton. So to hold them up as the three people who should be on the Wanted Poster for Murder by Sanitization and Fine-Grit Sandpaper of the musical tradition of Rob Halford and Lemmy Kilmister is to knowingly commit a fallacy. You're entitled to your opinions about The Warning. You're not entitled to fallacy.
Andy, this is genius. 39 minutes and six seconds of inane yet relevant opining about music followed by comment after comment of pure entertainment. You have served up yet another buffet of YT enjoyment. Can't wait to see your channel hit 1M subs one day. Now, off to find some videos by The Warning (who I've never heard of until about 40 minutes ago) and then to return and chastise you for a bit - or not.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer I do though. This one video may be the one to inspire me to start my own channel...I reiterate my sentiment from above - your genius can be scary sometimes Andy...
There is also a big difference between Metallica and The Warning: Paulina is a much better drummer than Ulrich... even when she was 12 years old. The other difference is that it took 3 little girls to do a 4 grown up men's job. Also The Warning never mistreated their bassist. Cant say the same for the Metallica fellas, can i?
I remember the new wave of Mongolian screamo gypsy folk music of the 1930s. Now there was some proper music, made by true rebels and outsiders. It’s been all downhill since then. Nothing but over-produced wankers.
After seeing the hysterical responses here, let me clarify...this video is not really about The Warning. This is why I got a few facts wrong, for which I apologise, as I have been told I need to show more respect. But I listened to them as much as I could stand.
This video is really about getting told repeatedly to listen to this band in the comments on my channel, then getting hounded for not thinking they are the second coming. I had noticed something strange with these Warning fans, so I decided to explore...and here we are!
My audience is my age, and so on this video I tracked that journey for a Heavy Rock fan from 1980 to now, to show how much has changed in that time, and hopefully to draw attention to why these old fans react so angrily when anyone sullies the reputation of their little rock princesses.
The comments here will be used to create another video which most here will find, I hope, amusing in the same way this was intended.
And before I get the obvious replies, the views ARE through the roof on this, so I thank you. And although all The Warning fans are unsubscribing like a BBC employee under investigation, subs are also up on this video.
Perhaps there are a whole lot more non Warning fans out there enjoying this immensely!
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Hahaha you're not wrong in your assessment of The Warning fans. My take, if you'll indulge me for a moment, is that many of their older fans (me a 56yr old) grew up on bands like Iron Maiden, Metallica, Judas Priest, VH etc etc. During the 90's and since then, with some exceptions of course, music kind of lost that element, imo anyway. The Warning came along and though in no way are they reinventing the wheel or anything, they sound fresh too our over seasoned ears 😉 Throw in the fact they're a trio of sisters with English as their second language who not only write their own songs, but the covers they do just sound different. I reckon that's likely due to the fact they are generally covering songs that have a male vocalist, and a four piece. I could go on and on ad nauseum but I won't. I reckon they have more uncle's and grandfather's out there than any band in history. I am genuinely invested in their future and well being Hahaha, and I know I'm not the only one who feels that way. Thank God music is subjective and not a sport where there is a winner and a loser. These girls hit it hard, only COVID slowed them down, although they still recorded an album 'Error' during that time. I honestly don't know how anybody that's not a hater that likes any kind of rock music, is not at least appreciating what The Warning are throwing down. Well I can see why some chicks might not like them, jealous and all how they can be, y'all know
Don't take it too personally. The Warning Army is a thing. There is a VERY interesting story in how they used the internet, and social media to beat the record industry. And there are a whole lot of girl bands... GenZ women bands trying to emulate what they did. It's all very intentional. Brilliant marketing.
@@astrogatorjones And that is a brilliant assessment you gave, short and to the point (something I'm apparently incapable of 😉) Bravo!
Keep going 💪
It also reminds me of the late 90s/early 00s when I recall some of my young male peers and a number of middle aged men became a little too obsessed with the Corrs. You realise that the immense enthusiasm has little to do with the music, put it that way. Have some attractive young women, sisters, and have them playing guitars, to a certain demographic it's like moths to a flame. OK, The Warning rock a little harder than the Corrs did? Big extra bonus for men who enjoy a particular type of music from a certain era.
I'be been following the girls since 2018 . Very respectable people and very hard working right from the start .They are still young and have achieved alot and write all of their own music until very recently whereby they used other songwriters ,their drummer is their main song writer , exploring different ways how to write .What i like the most about them is that they are not tied to one main genre , mixing rock , metal and punk in to their songs .They are still learning and the best is yet to come , and i think that they are doing a fantastic job so far , cheers fella ! Try watching their mid school concert at the Liceo to see their musicianship and talent at a very early age .
As a 54 year old Mexican, with all due respect you did many assumptions here, and some are completely wrong. Rock in Mexico is HUGE! And has been huge since its inception. Don't asume that just because we don't speak English as our native tongue wouldn't appreciate English Rock. When I was only 6 my favourite group was Queen. Then before I was 10 I was already listening to AC/DC, Kiss, Led Zeppelin, etc., etc. not to mention Mexico has had great rock bands just not recognized abroad as much, but Rock is a big deal here. One thing I do agree with you though, is UK Rock is king vs American Rock, but once again, there is plenty of great American Rock bands too and, yes Mexican Rock bands, Spaniard Rock bands, Argentinian, etc. Most may play in Spanish, but once again, we all grew up listeting to UK / American / Canadian Rock and we LOVE IT!
Lastly, and this in regards to my fellow Warning Mexican gals, how do you compare a XXI century "Hard Rock band" to a XX "Heavy Metal band"? Even if they were both from the same century, Hard Rock and Heavy Metal are not the same! Is like if you also want to compare Heavy with Dead Metal, etc., not the same. Anyway, cheers from Mexico City Mate.
I believe the correct term is Death Metal even if it sounds dead to me. 😉
Carlos Santana became pretty popular over here in Sweden and I saw him perform in Stockholm in the mid '70s. Kiss was great during the '70s as well, then I lost interest.
@@TheUnderdogDe To be honest I wasn't sure which one to use, if Dead or Death...English is confusing some times. 😅
Yes, Santana was big here too of course, also the Beatles, Rollling Stones....heck, my dad (RIP) was super fan of Glen Miller, my mom of Elvis...my point is, to assume that non-English speaking countries wouldn't know much about such prime English speaking artists tells a lot. Cheers to Sweden from Mexico!
Yes, I've heard a lot of great Mexican rock music, most of it from the last twenty years, though I know it goes back much further. Unfortunately, people here (in the U.S.) hardly know or listen to music of any kind in Spanish or any other language but English, unless of course they speak Spanish or are Latino.
He obviously never played Mexico, or he'd realize how passionate Mexicans are for rock music.
Heck yeah. Rock on!
I grew up in the 70's and 80's listening to the music of Black Sabath, Zeppelin, Deep Purple, etc.
In the mid-70s, when groups like Queen and Pink Floyd came out, my friends and I compared them to the Eagles or the Bee Gees, and even to country music, they were pop groups with beautiful but boring music.
We thought the same thing later about Metallica, they were a copy of Judas Priest,
As time went by things changed.
This is what happens with new bands that have musical quality. They will be recognized after many years. And maybe we will already be dead
Please note their fame is an accident (as in not planned), they just uploaded the video of their Metallica cover because it was too big to attach in the email to their grand-parents.
Thanks Andy. Everything you said and I've already seen about 3 The Warning videos and have a crush on the drummer! You've done nothing but promote them mate!
Paulina is definitely the cute one IMO. Until she starts talking then she won't shut up. Promotion isn't a bad thing and I expect Andy knows exactly what he is doing.
I love The Warning. My favorite band in decades.
decades ??? , yikes ..,
@@Matias-music-71I know right. Yikes they aren't organic. 😂 See I used your favorite word. 👍
Everybody underestimates the warning, other female vocalists will be covering some of their songs like blackholes and breathe while my favourite album from them is queen of the murder scene especially the title track got a nice solo toward the end, lyrically very good and thats mostly down to paulina she is a very creative musician a generational talent imo.
check out Heart , just saying :)
Why are we talking about the “new wave of British metal” in a video about The Warning? Why are we saying The Warning has no riffs? Have we slipped into some strange alternate reality?
He is a failed musician
@@MrSudeepdasdon't be a twat
@@MrSudeepdas No, I have great respect for Andy as a musician. I happen to disagree with his approach on this video. It’s no big deal. I think The Warning is a great young band that plays melodic hard rock very well. They have never presented as “heavy metal.”
@@MrSudeepdas any good musician has been a "failed" musician at least once, dude. Stupid thing to say.
@@bjwnashe5589 Exactly. Don't know how this guy got them as a metal band.
You Know Your Band has Made the Big Time when People Make Videos Saying The Don’t Like You!!! ( funny thing because you have The Warning in the Title you will get more Views than your other videos) Clever!!!
Van Halen started out doing covers and became huge. I’m rooting for them. 🎸🥁
I thought you can't be a real band if you started out playing covers?
Oh wait. Every band in history started out playing covers.
@@rastaptc By default when learning any instrument you're going to start by playing an already established piece/song, otherwise how else can you really gauge your progression. The first song I learned on guitar was The Animals 'House of the Rising Sun' My uncle felt it was a good one because it has about five of the standard open position chords every guitar player needs to know. Learning to change chords cleanly and in time is crucial, without that you can't play songs, period. When I started their was no Internet, it was all hands on with your teacher playing along with you. Instructional books were also an invaluable tool when your teacher wasn't available
It is totally fine not to like their music. Some people do, some don’t. Are they the greatest band ever, no, but a really good band nonetheless. I think we need to give them some credit for what they have accomplished at such a young age. The oldest sister is 24 years old (youngest 20). They have been a band for 11 years. They write their lyrics and music. They recorded 4 albums, more than 60 original songs and performed hundreds of live concerts. They were invited to open by bands such as Muse (twice), Foo Fighters and G&R. They performed at the MTV VMA’s, MTV EMA and were nominated for a Latin Grammy Award. All this before 25. One may not like their music, but we have to admit this is quite impressive. Also, based on several interviews, videos on their RUclips channel, numerous Instagram/Patreon live sessions, etc. they appear to be genuine good people and have a great relationship with their fans. I think this fuels the passionate and overprotective nature of their fan base.
It's not.
@@andrepires7687 Come on!
Sure it's fine to have a different opinion than us. Besides, it would not look good for the band to have a clown like this promote them.
They are not known in spite of being young; they are known because they are young and relatively attractive. Their musical abilities seem competent, but that's not why they're known, clearly.
They had about 20 writers on KMF, and it's their most popular album. Maybe they shouldn't write their own music.
@@normp2463 Nah, I'm pretty sure they are the greatest band ever, and I mean ever, of all time, even better than Francisco Terrega and the Shrimp Shack Shooters
They are more into My Chemical Romance, Muse, Halestorm and Kpop than Metallica.
I helped fund their first two albums on GFM and Kickstarter, i've loved them for years. Queen of the Murder Scene is my all time favorite album, all 13 songs and the story are great, unlike most concept albums it doesn't bore me to death.
Queen of the Murder Scene, with its profound dark poetry, is second to The Dark Side of the Moon.
The comments in this thread show that very few people actually care about the lyrics in a song. What a band is saying and how it is saying it, is defined through a process called songwriting. Almost everyone nowadays is into instrumentation. If people like instrumentation then why listen to songs?
@@MrSudeepdasI think that in addition to perhaps ideological aspects, the most repeated criticism against them is that they are not complex, just that, I think the problem lies in what many have convinced themselves it means to be "good",And that is the complexity. This is a problem that I think was so widespread, in the country of origin of The Warning, but that is also present in certain audiences in other countries, and it's what generates such contradictory perceptions about them
@@MrSudeepdas I just listened to the title track, the lyric reminds me more of Bjørk's Army of Me than anything from The Dark Side of the Moon.
@@SteveMHN I like MCR, I am interested.
@@lonewolf8667 Maybe you should not opine about a concept album just by listening to its title track. Try the previous song - Dull Knives (Cut Better).
ruclips.net/video/74obH1QgOYY/видео.html
If you can google the lyrics even better.
The Warning were 9, 12 and 14 when they covered Enter Sandman. They are not stuck in the Metallica Black album.
I enjoyed listening to The Warning just now. Thanks Andy, Id never heard of them until you released this video. I mean, they are not in the same league as Neil Young or Lou Reed, very few people are, but they are a lot better than Metallica and most of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal I had to listen to round at my mates houses in the early 80`s.
Im not going to dis someone because they are attractive, female or from a wealthy background. I generally havent liked the rich people Ive met but you cant choose your parents. However, you can choose to rock, so hats off to these ladies for doing that, and doing a damn good job of it
It's nice to see that SOMEbody gets it!
The Warning didnt came from wealth. His dad had to sell a lot of his property to finance the band. Both their parents pratically decided to exist just to support them. They got lucky that many established rock talents in Mexico took a liking to The Warning and teached them pro bono. Their first exposure happened because their dad couldnt send a video of them playing to their grsndparents by email.so he published it on RUclips and much to their amazement it went viral. Nothing came easy to them. They grew because many people believed in them and did work for free or very low pay for them.
I enjoy all your videos and think you are fun, intelligent and talented dude.
But seems weird for you to focus on The Warning as being a group of females and Mexican, instead as musicians first and foremost.
I get your point that you were not blown away, perhaps because your expectations were higher due to everyone telling you about ‘the warning’ being the second coming, etc.
So they didn’t do it for… I get it. I discovered them by pure accident on RUclips and I have totally enjoyed and appreciate their talent immensely and it is refreshing to see a group of young folks (regardless of sex and ethnicity) playing their instruments and creating their own music.
this is actually a fair point. But I think it is relevant in the context of old men liking this band so much
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer OK. So old men are prohibited from liking this band?
I guess I'll stick to Andy Williams and Sinatra even though I'm a retired musician of over 30 years and the first live band i saw was the Doors and 100s more through the years.
I said I'm interested in this
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerNot any old men. Old (wo)men with Ehlers-Danlos skin Syndrome (EDS) and Atropic skin which are characterized by hyperflexibility, skin that is easily bruised, thin and fragile skin.
I love The Warning. All gorgeous and extremely talented. Pau is a beast on drums and vocals. They're what rock and roll is all about, a great time. Ale is a beast on the 5-string bass & looking like a world class model as well. Dany is great at everything she does.
Hmm, not being a seasoned rock fan, I had just assumed you properly researched the bands you discussed especially if discussing their history, influences etc.
I usually like your delivery.
Of the maybe 5 mins on this 36 minute monologue that you actually stayed on topic, it's clear you did neither here, and the if you were trying to make a point other than the thumbnail suggests, it was not clear. This video felt quite meandering.
But it's more my initial disappointment with your lack of research on the supposed band of topic that has me now questioning if I should trust the information you put forward about other bands and musical acts too. I had found your channel to be educational for a newbie-ish person like me. (I'm not young, but most of my 20’s was spent listening to prodigy, oasis, other dance music and hip hop rather than rock or metal)
It's a little disappointing to be honest.
I don't think any band that gets signed these days to a major label is getting and album out the door without it being produced/mixed to near aesthetic perfection per the labels requirements, so I'll never hold that against any act.
I've got no time for people that only want their bands to forever sound like it was recorded in a shed.
It stinks of gatekeeping and elitism from fans who'd rather their favourite bands were forever broke, just so that they can think they're cooler than everyone else.
I did research this video. I read up on The Warning's history and listened to their albums. I would not have been able to to say stuff about them if I hadn't.
I'm interested, as the thumbnail says, about why my viewers repeatedly tell me to listen to this band, then get annoyed when I don't react like they wanted me to. And on this video, I placed those fans in the history of heavy rock, and told that story. It follows the 12 year old who started out with Venom back in 1980 and end with this band, the Teletubbies of heavy rock.
And they are old and grumpy, and can't take any pushback.
The responses here are probably all you need to prove rock is dead.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer
People ask you to check out a band they're excited about.
There is a way to deliver a message that they don't appeal to you without resorting to what are essentially purposeful derogatory comparisons.
I get that some fans can be over zealous, but I think most just want a respectful response.
If you are getting the request to check them out alot, I can only guess that regular viewers of yours have a cross over in interests here.
You mention in this video about viewer numbers dropping, and I wonder if thats a result of other bands fans feeling similarly about perceived disrespectful coverage of some.
There are still new bands out there all the time that people get excited about. If you're going to be similarly dismissive of them and their fans, your audience is going to slowly literally die off on you.
I would however be really interested in a video of what you think new acts (not just rock, since that's very clearly dead) need to be doing to be rebellious and relevant today. Alot of commentators mention rock and it's subgenres being dead today, but no one ever really ever expands beyond that point, preferring their comments instead to be the final nail in the coffin.
Or just like everything else in the world right now are all the old people just going to slink back into the abyss after sucking all the potential out music for short term profit leaving nothing but ashes for the kids.
Well said. @@aido78
@@aido78 you need to understand that not every person in the world has the same musical taste as you.
@@andrepires7687 I fully expect that not everybody has the same musical taste as I do. But when a few people recommend music to me that I don't like, I generally just tell them I gave it a go and it wasn't for me.
Even if they kept trying to recommend, I wouldn't feel the need to be overly dismissive of their taste in music, especially if they were excited to share it in the first place.
The Warning are workaholics and perfectionists and have been since kids. They are not virtuosos, but they are very good. They excel at songwriting and lyrics. They play from ballads to almost metal. Very few solos from anyone. They don't really need it. Their harmonies are always killer, and playing live is so much better than studio. What makes The Warning even more interesting is their story. It's hard to believe, and hard to believe how media-friendly they've always been. There are so many vlogs of them on the road, in the studio, and just sitting there explaining their thought processes. It's like they're family. Someone deciding anything after hearing just one song of theirs is like someone taking a bite of okra and proclaiming, "So this is what vegetables taste like."
"It's like they're family" well you're right about that, and IMO spot on about everything else you said
It is 100 times better to have a band of three people who are very good at what they do... than to have a band with one virtuoso and the rest of them just being the accompaniments of that virtuoso. We already know the disaster that these bands end up in... with one person believing himself superior to his companions...
While The Warning is a band designed so that the three of them shine for their own characteristics (one for her passion, the other for her voice and the other for her mere presence and because she has also given the bassist visibility) but without being a one-star band and the other members are the filler...
Three good guys make a stronger unit than one virtuoso and three guys who will end up hating the diva or disdaining him and disappearing shortly after as a result of it.
@@WALKINGPHONE that's just your opinion. Not a fact.
@@andrepires7687 and according to the law: you are obliged to respect it, whether you like it or not.
@@WALKINGPHONE You are certainly not wrong about that. Rush comes to mind for me, though they had (RIP Neil) three virtuosos, whatever that really means, but yeah I get what you're saying. It's certainly true with a great band that one weak link will be painfully obvious. Over the year's a ton of bands have had too replace one or even more members (which is very hard to do) so they could realize their potential. The girls of The Warning are all very solid musicians, but it's their songwriting, melodies, and live performance that I think most fans find so compelling, at least for me anyway. I came up in the 80's when the only all female bands were the Go Go's and Vixen, so The Warning are a breath of fresh air who actually rock, not that Vixen couldn't, but unfortunately they fell victim to record label pressure at the time. Blah blah blah okay I'm done 😉
You literally were passive aggressive from the beginning.
Then you were mostly incorrect in their back story…. They were 14/12/9 when they went viral and they did it entirely by accident.
At their age there is LITERALLY NO WAY to do things how your idols Metallica did things.
Crucially… they were NOT ATTRACTIVE YOUNG GIRLS… they were children with zero sexuality at all in their style or appearance.
Their songwriting is the number one reason why they are my favourite rock group, speaking as a professional musician who’s extremely picky and has a successful career.
Then it’s their personalities.
The looks only started in the last couple of years… they intentionally avoided being considered sex objects for most of their career with 3 successful albums behind them before they finally grew up enough to feel confident being beautiful.
What an incredibly ignorant and inaccurate video you’ve made.
Passive aggressive is sort of my style. Thanks for the information
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerI left the toilet seat up in a mates flat once and he accused me of being passive aggressive. I bet you're hell to live with. lol

@@reverendgoodthrustesq.6875 Excellent! Yeah definitely say hi and thanks!
Andy you shouldn't have bothered. Maybe I have too much hope, but I don't have too much nostalgia. I was around in the NWOBHM days great times, one of the guys from my local pub is in Iron Maiden but what are you going to say to someone born in 2030, sorry you can't play rock music, its not real you didn't grow up in the 70's! That is rubbish, but for you I get it thats what you need to believe in, thats the feel that does it for you. And yes you can pick and choose albums, if someone said listen to Pink Floyd and you listened to Atom Heart Mother and Piper at the gates of Dawn would you be that impressed? Listen to Animals or Wish you were here. and you would get a totally different feeling. You have obviously not listened to The Warning much, Dany writes some great Riffs. It wasn't quite like you say either, they still weren't famous 5 years after that Enter sandman video, it took them time and a lot of hard work, their first record deal was after about 7 years of practicing, writing, touring, recording and producing their own music independently.
"if someone said listen to Pink Floyd and you listened to Atom Heart Mother and Piper at the gates of Dawn would you be that impressed?"
Ofc. Not your average pop rock. Groundbreaking albums.
Piper was an album bordering on genius. Nothing like it before, and not much close to it, since.
@@andrepires7687 I would say "listen to Ummagumma" and cherish the reaction.
not only do these girls rock they also allow me to reminisce over all the three-sister four ways i in the 80s was a participant in. how fast the sun sets. how quickly life passes.
Never heard of them but if Andy doesn't like 'em, chances are fairly good I'll love them! i don't mind that we sometimes disagree about music; I often disagree with friends about their musical tastes. And we're all a product of our generational and geographic influences. But it's not not always important to me for each newish band to be a new iconoclast. Green Day was one band alluded to with a little sneer; I love them, especially their earlier raw and funny stuff. The music is just okay, but the lyrics grabbed me. I've said before that lyrics (in bands with vocalists) are often more significant than the music itself. I'm kind of a Bizarro World version of Andy that way.
For anyone watching this video. According to Andy this video isn't really about The Warning. So, ignore all the talk about The Warning. Ignore the comparison of The Warning to Metallica. Ignore the facts Andy gets wrong about The Warning. There ya go. It's not about The Warning 👍
Andy's experiment with free speech and delighting us with his irreverent attitude may need to come to an end if he is going to take aim at my precious The Warning. How DARE YOU, Sir?!! Here in the states the most horrible human beings ever (Gen Z/Millennials) have completely forsaken rock music for auto tuned hip hop and pop country and.... I'm hyperventilating! I need to stop writing...Andy is worse than Emperor Palpatine!
Worse Than Palpatine.... thats a band! Or a top ten list!!!
@@stevenfunderburg1623 He didn't go after The Warning. According to Andy this video isn't about The Warning. Why would you come to this silly conclusion? 🤔
@scottlafleur4148 🤔 indeed
This guy has it ALL wrong.
I will try to explain why the fans are so apprensive, because as a one I understand where they are comming from, but I also understand some of your points, you have several points about their history wrong, important points, they were viral before metallica notice them, so is not about that, anyway the reason why fans are so protective of them, is because they saw all their history, you can see it in their youtube channel, they have been working hard for ten years and every little accomplishment they had made is very well documented (thats why a lot of fans will correct you about wrong facts, they know the history very well and is part of their charming), there is a long history of the band sharing all their journey with their fans since they were childs, so a lot of fans see them as daughters, nephews as their familly, the warning girls are very active and close to their fans in patreon and in a lot of ways they build a very strong fan base, and a lot of old folks as you can see in the comments see in them a lot of the sound of bands on their youth, so is a very powerfull mix, a band of nice girls that play rock really well and had an amazing journey so far... I will also explain that for me and a lot of fans, their studio albums are just decent... but seeying them playing live is what make the warning fans, actual fans, their first albums are independent and the production is not very good, but the live version of the songs of those albums are like 3 tier above anything they have in studio, only the 2 last albums have been mixed/produced in a more proffesional way... but the rest not so much... in general they are nice people, working hard for a lot of time, with a lot of dedication and being proffesionals, and a lot of bands like metallica, foo fighters, muse, defleppard, guns and roses, evenanesnce, and a lot of others saw the same that their fans and invite them to be part of their tours or other projects... I dont know if they are the saviours of rock, but they are making a lot of people talking about it after a long time in darkness
I don't understand how anyone could say The Warning don't have great riffs in their songs.
No kidding. Evolve and Queen of the Murder Scene just to name a few. Andy's way off base on this one.
the one who is blinded by hate & ego
He's fishing for more views The Army should avoid this guy
@@csbsrichDont take it personally, but they are a bit dull to my ears - but who cares, there's plenty of people who like them. There's plenty of room for differing tastes.
@@richardsinger01 Exactly. Yes, they have some riffs, but I don't hear anything new in their music. But good luck to them. Probably a masturbatory fantasy to lots of guys. 🤭 But I don't see why fans have to throw a hissy fit because some of us aren't turned on to them musically.
We're living in a different day and age than the 70s en 80s when rock music was at its peak. At the time, most bands were mostly working on their music, their shows and whatever else rockstars of that era were doing. These days bands become larger by working on their fanbase. This is also very much the case in k-pop, where the music of the act is as important as their relationship with their fanbase. Pop and rockstars are no longer these aloof rock gods of yesteryear.
These days bands can no longer afford to hate the press, they cannot afford to feel disdain towards their fans. All that is gone. We no longer have artists that like Roger Waters spit in the face of fans, or a Lou Reed who demonstrated a hatred towards the press, or a Van Morrison who played a concert with his back to the audience.
These behaviours are of course very rock and roll, but no longer work in this day and age. As a result we have bands like The Warning who bend over backwards to connect with their fanbase. This leads to a fanbase that is very loyal to the band. Again this is a phenomenon you see in k-pop as well. This relation between artist and fanbase is not necessarily just over the musical content, but has a more personal dimension to it and there is some loss to that.
Fans of Led Zeppelin were fans of the music and maybe some of the antics of the band, but no one was a fan of them because Jimmy Page was such a fun and charismatic interviewee. Mostly the music counted, and the occassional story of a toilet being blown up or a hotel being ruined. The bands at the time were beloved because of what they did, either musically or through their bad boy behaviour. They were rock gods and they didn't interact with the common people.
These days the market for bad boy behaviour is cornered by politicians. That's where rock and roll is alive and kicking. And politicians are far more dangerous than people that do art. No musician can compete with that.
So bands like The Warning are usually at their best behaviour. There is no danger to them. They are people like anyone else, except for their dedication to their art. Their music will not cause anarchy in the UK or any other country on the globe. There is no anger with the world, because they grew up in a house where their ambitions were encouraged.
If anyone, blame the parents. They did nothing to stifle their ambitions and kept them from growing bitter at the world. The parents also were able to give them a comfortable middle-class lifestyle. If only they had been poor, the band would have had the right kind of resentment that fits more with rock and roll.
As a result we have to live with a band of nice and pleasant sisters that play their instruments well and that write songs about subjects that won't shake the world, in a style that resembles what came before them. They are not innovators in the field of music, they are innovators in marketing music outside the confines of the music industry. Their EP and their first two albums were produced without a record contract, and a large part of their fanbase has been with them since that time.
That fanbase is fanatical (as the word implies) to a fault. Hence the backlash to this video. The fans don't want to hear that their favorite girls play a mix of styles that came before them, unlike the Rolling Stones and Led Zeppelin, that were entirely original. You saying their music is meh, feels like an attack on the girls, and you don't score points doing so.
I actually applaud you for doing so. It shows a level of respect most fans don't seem to have. To quite a few fans, they are still the little girls that should be treated with kids gloves. But they no longer are little girls and no longer need that protection.
I understand why you may find their music meh, because music is not the only experience they provide, so if you judge them solely on that dimension you miss out on the other aspects that make their journey interesting. For those who are only in it for the music, there is little of interest to anything happening in mainstream music. It's all been done before and everything used to be better. That's the state of affairs and bands like The Warning try a different way of becoming succesful. That this way feels weak compared to the old days, I can understand. Rock stars used to be contrarian trouble makers. These girls are far too nice and polished to stand in their shoes.
Every time Andy says, "It's not Napalm Death" I spit out whatever I'm drinking! (And yes, he's said that before.)
Maybe mentioned but the metalica cover came about as metalica asked for covers for aniversery of the black album and looked for bands whit history whit metalica music. It was the warning.s international managment that contacted them and asked if they wanted to do a cover whit alissa cara as they share managment. They had 1 week to do it as for music they grew up on they have mentioned queen,billy joel,Elton John, my chemical tomance,muse and they do listen to pretty much any genre and use that inspiration to write there songs and they always wanna try something new and not keep playing same style all the time
Legends they are my friend. And when you are not able to muster you self importance anymore you will have to deal with The Warning as Icons!
I will agree with you but with a counter argument. Yeah, I didn’t start listening to the Warning due to their riffs, they don’t write riffs. They write harmonies, melodies but specially I started listening due to the vocalists.
Yes, they’re not Metallica the (arguable) master of harmonies since Master of Puppets, but their written melodies and compositions are suitable to be transliterated to symphonic arrangements, the melodies are indeed fitting.
Also, The warning categorize themselves a Rock band BUT Metallica is in essence a Thrash Metal band. (Yes I know they have written Rock, Alternative or even Country songs) but just as you said, they were pioneers of NWBHM and evolved the genre onto their own, along Exodus, Slayer, Testament, etc; even in Hardwired and 72 seasons their latest albums, they still write THRASHY riffs. The Warning has never tried to be Metallica, they just liked to play a couple Metallica songs when they were young, I still don’t know where that argument is coming from. Maybe because of the fact they went viral to Enter Sandman, but after that happened they started to pull out their own sound by writing their own music. They have said they do have some “old school” influences, but they listen to a lot of modern Pop, Disco and Rock and that can be noted in their songs.
I don’t listen The Warning to listen to Thrashy riffs, or even heavy music in a “female band” if I wanted to do that I would listen to LoveBites, or Nervosa, or Crypta, etc.
At the end of the day you could simply say that you don’t like Rock, Pop-Rock and/or Alternative Rock and that would have sufficed.
They covered a Metallica song but all their original music sounds more like Muse.
It's almost seems like he needed filler to get the proper video lenght and didn't have any Muse stories.
@@GeniusCenaa LOL oh my, well of course they write riffs. Do tell us how in this context a guitar riff works if "they don't write riffs?"

I am a Sabbath fan mate, since 1971. The inventors of heavy metal in 1970. I don't care how the Warning came about,my friend, I think they are great.
I have watched your pod casts , and I find you quite entertaining. Metallica never came out of the New wave of British Heavy metal.
Why?
For a start Metallica are American. In no way British. They borrowed heavily from British metal. That doesn't make you British. Metallica and the Thrash trash that came out of America was like Kiss on steroids. Punk .Bloody horrendous noise. America has only created a few really credible heavy rock bands. Blue Oyster Cult, Van halen , Montrose, Then the immense Queensryche.
I take issue with you that Diamond Head were in any way original. That they didn't sound much like a poor mans Sabbath. I have 2 Diamond Head albums in physical form. Am I evil, is a Sabbath track that would have been an outtrack binned by Sabbath.
The start of metal and experimental stuff began in 1970 with Black Sabbath.
Everything after came their first album. New wave of British heavy metal, were merely the second wave. All of the metal prog, jazz,/ metal/ blues fusion had already been done. All that was left in the 80's was being as heavy as a ton of bricks. Sonic brain killing noise. Metallica are about as Close to the grandfather's of metal as we are to the sun. Bunch of rip off
artists.
Maybe those friends you claim to have.
Yes queensrchye! What about Hendrix although he was nothing in the u.s. until he went to London. And don't forget Aerosmith in their druggie years. 74 - 76 they were awesome .. legendary hard rockers .
The difference between you and your mates getting together and making a band and The Warning, is that 1 of the girls was in high school, 1 in middle school and 1 in grammar school.... when they SELF RELEASED their first album of original songs. Also comparing them to Metalica is moot. The Warning are not heavy metal, if you heard THEIR version of Sandman from the blacklist album you would see. I thing the reasons you don't like The Warning is because you don't like rock. You like heavy metal, punk, death metal, hair metal etc. That ain't the warning. I think they are outstanding, and in their own way, I appreciate that they have a pure enthusiasm and genuine love for rock, and for the people who listen to them.
I've been around since rock began so i've seen the genre evolve. Currently the warning is one of my favorite rock bands (i've always listened to various genres my whole life) along with band maid. Comparison is the thief of joy someone said. Complexity does not always equal quality. Rock didnt start as technical music, it was about attitude. Judging by the bands you referenced, it appears you come from a limited frame of reference. The warning has covered enter sandman twice. The second version i liked alot better than the original. Liked their version of atlas rise too. There is a reason they have fans from 8 to 80. As an aside, you spent most of you reaction talking about everyone but the subject at hand. Should have called it a nostaligic journey of my favorite sub genres.
"Complexity does not always equal quality. "
Good excuse.
@andrepires7687 true story.
I think they are super talented and energetic and very pretty. And polished, as you say. I'm glad they exist. Of course, certain things will never be the same as before. I enjoy listening to you, even if I sometimes don't agree with you I can always see your point (ex., Astral Weeks). Keep going Andy !

Oooh! Frightening! The “nazi” army won’t tolerate any different opinion!
Your opinion is your opinion, that’s fine. Looking at your other videos they seem to be mostly on the negative side. I like to keep it positive. Good luck anyway.
Hello, greetings from Venezuela, everything is very good, I respect your opinion, I also have my criticisms (few) about the band, but I have to clarify something, they did not learn to play with the video game "Rock Band" they already played their instruments before That (Dany and Pau especially) what they achieved with the video game was deciding to form a band of the Rock genre, and after that they started making covers of the same genre.
BTW: They didn't form their band with friends, high school, or recruiting members since they are sisters, which is why the way they started is also atypical. Personally, I don't think that these aforementioned details take away from the quality or talent of these girls and their band.
I had not heard of the Warning until a few years ago i subscribed to a channel that did reaction videos to bands,
he was a religious Franciscan Friar called Guylain Prince, and he started off with one of my favorite bands and we the fans spent many friday nights exploring lyrics, the structure and to eulogies the singer.
A lot of us stuck with him through other bands like Rush, Tool etc and after this he started with a young band called Liliac
that had done some good covers, and eventually their own material.
Then he started talking about another young band The Warning and we spent time exploring the album Queen of the murder scene, a concept album and then the Abum Error. I found i liked the band the more i listened and explored the lyrics,
maybe it is just different tastes in music, as i admit to liking the Black album and enter sandman, and with Iron Maiden
i did not buy one of their albums until Dance of death, and after enjoying the album had to work backwards to enjoy all the different era
An album like Queen of the Murder Scene would have been a major hit in the 70s. This guy talks about rock but misses one important aspect of rock - profound insightful lyrics.
This is a reasoned reply that will send me on a mooch around the lyrics and concept of that Murder Scene album. But why do you think their fans are so aggressive at any criticism of them? This what I am more interested in?

@@AndyEdwardsDrummerThe live concert from 2023 at The Pepsi Center (I know, I know) in Mexico City is probably the best place to see The Warning at their best. The whole show is on RUclips.
The Warning's music is of their generation, not yours. It is not rebellious. Rather it is filled with anger and confusion--the way their generation processes the world. Their audiences cross generations with a much higher % of 20-somethings than the older bands you speak of. I love many classic bands and would not compare The Warning to many of them. But there is more depth than I think you recognize. You have some valid opinions. But be careful about generational provincialism. This generation has something to say too--it may just be harder to find. For themselves too.
the best bit so far is listening to him trying equate a game to a real band
great example of why you dont let your grandpa with dementia use a smartphone
Ouch! This is Andy's opinion - is he not allowed to express it? It's ok for us to have different opinions, he was asked and he replied.

Great video. I loved the history lesson - though I think many people did not understand it. My brother got the Encyclopedia Metallica back in the day and I read it avidly. Please do continue to make this sort of video!
Never listened to The Warning before, but they have to be better than Maneskin at least.
Hello, greetings from Venezuela, another detail that you are distorting a little, when you say that Metallica would not share a cover hypothetically made by you and your friends because they are a bunch of old people, but the one from The Warning would do so because they are young girls. and pretty, let me clarify that when they made that cove they were not girls, they were literally little girls of 9, 12 and 14 years old, so your argument does not hold up anywhere, unless you imply that Metallica are perverts.
I have only listened to 7 minutes of your video and there are already two pieces of information with nuances different from the real facts and that makes your review lose credibility, but not your opinion since you are free to like the Band or not, but please do not misinform others. people, thank you.
No riffs??? Bro. Cmon. My god. Zip
It already
I know, right?
Not sure how well travelled this chap is but o do recommend him to travel more and listen to the music in Latin America, especially Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Mexico even Guatemala. In Latin America they play Rock and very good one the only problem is that he might be able to understand it because is in Spanish. Carlos Santana is Mexican and plays amazing tunes and he started playing Mexican music. Listen to the music of Mexico and is not just traditional Music , Mexico offers loads of types of music same as Argentina from Tierra de fuego to Tijuana and other countries in the continent. Music is Universal.
Cheers
You talk a good game, I suppose. I'm in my 70s, I played in bands for about 20 years and I've all but given up on modern music. The Warning are not trying to be anything but a band who love writing and playing their music, most of which I quite like. They don't claim to be representative of any particular genre. You either like it or you don't. To make an entire video rubbishing a band because they don't measure up to your personal (and somewhat weird) expectations seems pretty extreme. I won't like your video, but your're entitled to your opinion.
Andy the extremist. lol
They were 3 kids who were taking piano, lessons, their dad brought home the Rock band video game which bred a desire to learn about rock music, so the oldest plays guitar in the game the next play drums in the game the youngest couldnt really play the game but watches & likes the bass, so their dad asks if they want to learn the real instruments, they say yes, so although he had a pretty good job he still needed to sell his Harley motorcycle to pay for instruments & lessons... they work hard and then the youngest was finally big enough to hold a bass & take lessons... so they try learning songs they played on the game Rock band... they're doing pretty good and they want to show their grandparents how theyre doing, but they cant email them the video because the file is to big, so they upload it to youtube... and it goes viral, and they thought from all this excitment. Maybe they could do this for a living, so they started writing songs... Now I was in several bands in the 80s and if we had the options of youtube back then we probably would have tried to do the same...
As to Metalicas influence, Metalica DIDNT share it... Kirk Hammett, commented on it... he said their drummer kicked ass... People in general shared it, I know I did when I first saw it... someone shared it to Ellen... and thet was MORE publicly. They DIDNT get a record deal, and put out albums they crowd funded & put out an EP, and crowd funded again & put out 2 INDEPENDANT LPs... they put out a 2nd EP &THEN they got signed... for their 3rd LP, and their 4th...
Now I dont know how many of The Warning songs you've listened to but obviously you haven't listened to all of it, or even many of them, because they do have riffs, but the thing with The Warning is, they dont play a particular style, they play The Warnings style. I sat & listened to you talk & you talked about how Metalica, took what they wanted & did their OWN THING they tried to offend, to be in older people's face, to shock... That doesn't work nowadays. It just turns people away...
I think you listened to 2 or 3 songs & and didn't hear YOUR idea of what Rock is!!! So you go off on a Rant about how The Warning isnt raw or rough... I listened this, and basically it seems to be the equivalent of an old man standing there yelling get off my lawn, at the kids walking by... I'm sorry you didnt "GET" The Warning I guess if they arent rough or "Evil" enough for you they cant be good...
Well I dont think The Warning really need you... You're just rain off a turtles back...
Enjoy your day, I'm pretty Sure The Warning will enjoy theirs
You are getting to irate over this, try and calm down.
@@kevinmoore5053 WOW nice thesis and all accurate except that they turned down some offers from labels that wanted to change them, this was briefly explained by Dany during their Ted X performance, which by the way sealed the deal for me as a fan of them. Their performance of Survive from that show, damn! Pau officially stole my heart on that one
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Hahahaha
I agree with Andy. It is not a matter of not getting them, there is not much to get or not to get. They exist and I am super happy for their success but their music just does not really appeal to me. Maybe someday they will put out something I like more but it hasn’t happened yet. It is okay not to like some things out there.
Enjoyed that. Thanks 🎉
Your jealousy is palpable.
And your stupidity is visible
Andy - These girls have promoted their band the way you have said is correct; on RUclips and through Patreon. Before you make any final judgements, see if you can find someone with their entire set from the Poland Rock festival from a few months ago. There are only two songs available on RUclips right now, Disciple and Automatic Sun.
That is why it has worked for them. But......
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Ha! OK Andy, it wouldn't be you without the "But..." Now, even if you don't like the style of music they play, you should give them credit for actually learning to play musical instruments and singing without autotune. A lot of people don't bother with that stuff anymore. Just let the computers fix it.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Ok, I just finished your conversation with Phil Aston (very interesting). During the conversation, you mentioned that (compared to a Deep Purple track) The Warning drumming sounded processed. I agree with you here. I have their latest album on CD, listened to it one time, and put it away. The whole recording was over-processed. I only listen to The Warning when they play live. That is why I asked you if you could find their live set from the Poland Rock festival. It was recorded completely live that night.
@@fredhinckley8630 I agree, the production of KMF is absolutely ghastly; I cant stand listening to it.
It is your channel and you have your right to your opinions but I differ in many and there were also many errors in the investigation that I simply cannot let go, I am not going to force you to like The warning, this comment is more for those who had certain interest in the band and they can be influenced to no longer give them a chance, you say that if a band is good you don't have to choose one album or another, I think the perfect example is Metallica, many of us have not liked their work since Death Magnetic or even before, but still we can say that we love Metallica, this is music, this is art and for everyone it will be subjective, you talk as if everything had been easy just because Metallica reacted to one of their videos, removing or belittling learning to play that cover at their young age and as if that already guaranteed them places in the best venues and festivals, leaving behind 10 years of career, composing 4 albums and hundreds of presentations, it seems elitist or old man's mentality to criticize that their interest to form the band came from Rock Band, ignoring that all his life his parents instilled in him a taste for rock and one of his family activities was to watch rock concerts as a family, rock is not only guitar solos and fast ones , they are arrangements and chord changes and their combinations and it is something that characterizes Danny, yet you talk about how they don't have solos which makes me wonder if you really listened to them or just one or two songs and you said this is not for me, it's okay but me I wouldn't feel I have the right to criticize something if I didn't analyze it completely and well. To those who read this and don't know The Warning, give them a chance and form your own opinion.
The Warning are not a metal band. To compare them to Metallica is comparing apples to oranges. Furthermore, every band that makes it big has had a good portion of old curmudgeons that dismissed them. Metallica is one of them. The Warning are the first band to accomplish mastering social media AND being accomplished song writers with compelling lyrics and hooky, riff heavy, hard rock songs. Unfortunately there are a lot of dinosaurs who will always shit on the new generation of talent and they will get left behind. The Warning aren't like bands from 40 years ago and thats a good thing.
Any band that evolves from Social Media is going to attract some attention. I've spotted quite a few over the years that interest me for a while and The Warning were one of those bands. I really like a song called "Ugh" from their first album but like a whole load of stuff I drifted away from them only to have their social media presence coming my direction quite regularly. I would have to see them live to really form an opinion. American Idiot was Green Day of course and I have to like them. As a guitar tutor they've paid my mortgage for me over the years. ;)
I didn't expect you to champion their music, but considering how often you talk about the path to success being different than it was in the past, I expected you to at least take an interest in how they got from a basement to Wacken without the old system.
I shared this video with an old, music-geek friend in his late 50’s now living in the US who grew up in Ipswich. Of course, he posted a photo of his preserved, archival copy of the Encyclopedia Metallica and said the following:
I enjoyed that. Thanks for sending along. Old and crotchety and full of opinions... just like me! Haha
Why do listeners from your generation and older like The Warning? I think because The Warning aren't fk'n rap, or urban, or Beiber, or Swift, or Timberlake, or samples, or autotune... You get the idea -- all the reasons music started trending towards being absolute crap in the 90's. It's as if the audience stopped demanding good music and more or less agreed to let the music industry decide what good music is **for** them. The Warning has a knack for blending Hard Rock, Metal, Punk, Grunge, Alt, and even pop into something that triggers a nostalgic ear. Not only do I like their music, but they have compelled me to actually *buy* music for the first time in over two decades. No other band has done that since the early 2000's. So ya! I like em'!! Opinions vary.
So you don't make the effort to look for the good rock bands, which there are plenty right now, in spite of your complaining about bad pop and bad rap, and instead, you go listening to a boring one because they're trending on your facebook and they're hot girls? Did I get that right?
@@Lultschful Nope, you got it wrong. There just aren't "plenty" of good rock bands today. There are darned few. That is unarguable. Maybe some day you will learn what "good" rock is on your own instead of being so dependent on the industry to decide that **for** you. You should also work on learning how to control your own emotions instead of demanding everyone else agree with you in order to control your emotions **for** you. You are demonstrating a pattern of external dependence. Learn how to navigate the world on your own so you don't have to rely on everyone else. Good luck, sweetie!
All you needed to say is "I don't like The Warning" and you would've saved us all a lot of time with your rather pointless arguments. When you have to repeat twice that they are a three attractive sister (Yeah, girls) band from México and explain what Rockband video game is all about to your audience, it's clear to me that more than musical taste it's your prejudges you'r trying to argue with. They could've kept on doing covers of "Old male bands" and seat waiting till a record label signed them to be famous but they chose to work harder (Crowd founding supported) remain independent and make their own "Generic" music which is much more than most of emerging bands usually do. Just pleas keep it professional and respectful next time.
PD. It was plain unfair to compare them with Metallica, I mean the oldest of them is 24 yo.
The good thing for you is that your channel will really blow up (In the best meaning of the word) after this. Best of luck!
I did in a thousand replies
I get a fatherly pride watching them rock out. And they are so down to earth. So I root for them to kill it. They are masters at song structure and stage presents but will never be shredders or writers of epic prog masterworks. But they will put on a good show with a lot of good sing along songs that rock.
As best I can tell from your stream of consciousness discourse on the NWOBHM, you are a metal head at heart, and seem to be judging The Warning from that perspective. While they do incorporate elements of classic heavy metal into their music, they also blend in hard rock, punk and alternative into their own recognizable and unique sound. Most importantly, they have always written songs (with special emphasis on the lyrics) for themselves; and as much as it may dismay you, it just so happens that hundreds of thousands of people around the world like their songs as well. If their music (which I suspect you have only heard a small sample of) isn’t your thing that’s fine, then don’t listen to it. Not sure why you felt compelled to spend over 30 minutes trying to explain it with your condescending and disparaging remarks.
Because I was bombarded by comments telling me to listen to them which grew angry when I said i though they were only ok. I had a really long conversation that actually resolved amicably but it got me thinking. Why are these old men so protective about this average rock band?
I like Bowie have almost all his music, From manish boys to everything changes. Could you imagine the Beatles with two drummer's (macartny's) a drummer too.
Why are you comparing The Warning with Metallica? The former are not metal - they are more hard rock. When Metallica asked about 20 odd bands to reimagine Enter Sandman for Black List album in 2021, only The Warning showed their virtuosity by thinking outside the iconic riff & structure of the original. The others including Ghost failed.
BTW if at 14, 12 & 9, you and your mates had covered Enter Sandman like the way these girls did in 2014, Metallica would have praised you as well.
The girls didn't start music with Rock Band video game. They were trained on classical piano right from their early childhood.
Rock is about rebellion - the voice of youth. That is why lyrics become such an important part of a rock song apart from its music. The profound poetry these girls have written is second only to Dylan, Cohen & Waters. You need to hear their 2nd & 3rd albums. But then you are not into lyrics, are you? A song is a song because it has got words in it. What a band is saying & how it is saying it, is important. Egoistic instrumentation may look attractive but whether it is necessary for a song is another matter.
Miles Davis famously said "It's not the notes you play, it's the notes you don't play." The Warning epitomize his thoughts. Subtlety. Intellectualism. These are words alien to you, I guess.
You could be right and Wikipedia wrong.
From Wikipedia: 'Their parents' passion and their playing the video game Rock Band led the sisters to rock music. Following the first Rock Band jams, Daniela and Paulina selected guitar and drums as their primary instruments, respectively'
This is a statement about living in a post Rock Band video game age. They look like the characters in that game and move in the same way. That is worth pointing out if you are interested in how culture works.
The reason I mentioned Metallica is because their cover version made them famous, and I explained how that song sits in the history of Metallica moving from cutting edge thrash metal band to stadium rock.
Now I never said they were terrible, I am more interested in the hysterical response of their fans to any criticism of this band and what that means. The comments here have been enlightening.
Please watch my 'What makes all songs great video' or my 'Lyric Blindness' video to undo your false assumption about me not listening to lyrics.
The Warning fans are ridiculous.
@@emanuelrusiecki6670They are not very different from any other army, the difference is that the old armies did not have social networks, the last great bands that now fill stadiums are more than 40 years old, So back then in the 80's we would hardly seen what we see now days on social media, but the army has always been son intense and also something that create de problem is because much of what andy said here is either wrong or a misrepresentation of the history of the band, he take the history from Wikipedia and filled with much of their prejudices
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerIt's not wrong but it's quite biased and many of the details you filled in (probably unconsciously) with your prejudices.
Yes, the girls played rock band, but they didn't start with rock band, Rock band was their inspiration to want to know more about rock music, But by then, they were already playing classical piano.
It's true that Metallica saw their cover, and it's true that they put it on the internet, it's true that they have a contract today, but the problem is how you connected the dots, When they uploaded the cover, they weren't an actual professional band, it was just them practicing, at that point they had played at their school yard, but that's it, And yes Metallica saw them but didn't give them any contract, and they didn't get any contract until 2020, And it wasn't with Metallica's record label. And much of your video is like that, you take a very partial story taken from an internet page and you fill it with your own conclusions, and I think you don't even realize it.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummerso you're basically annoyed by how much people love them?! That smacks of jealousy 😂
Great stuff Andy - enlightening commentary on the contribution of style over substance to Western cultural decline.
Hi Andy I do not believe you are making a video about The warning! Firstly I am from the UK, I am 61 years old and a big British Heavy Rock fan. I am a big fan of Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple, In Rock is their seminal record in my opinion but live well Made in Japan is for me the best live album ever made, the improvisation is just off the charts. I love all that British rock and prog stuff of the 70's, Sabbath, Zepp, Floyd, Yes, Genesis, ELP, ect. Now fast forward 50 years and we have The Warning which are just absolutely electric, I have not been so excited about a new band for decades. To me they are just fantastic and growing all the time and maybe their best stuff is yet to come. Remember Dark Side of The Moon was Floyd's 8th studio album and The Wall was their 11th! I am really interested in what you have to say about this band.
I may not like them as much as you....
Same here… Had to look twice to see if he was indeed him.
I watched their video Evolve. The clip is quite interesting (thanks to the drummer), but the music is boring. After listening to three of their songs I would get a headache. They sound like a harder Green Day, I didn't like hearing that band on the radio.
I only liked two albums by Metallica - 2nd and 3rd and then I could not stand them. I consider Nothing Else Matters to be the worst song I've ever heard.
My favorite rock album is ZZ Top - Afterburner and DP - The Perfect Strangers, and Iron Maiden - Somewhere in time.
I didn't like NIrvana either, only a few songs by Soundgarden, Alice in Chains - DIrt album was good
I must say this. I have noticed that men- particularly middle aged heterosexual men - generally seem to massively overestimate music created by attractive young women. That's just an observation.
Teenage boys in addition to middle aged men are particularly prone to this. I knew some teenage lads in the 1990s who suddenly got into the Spice Girls when they'd been listening to Prodigy and Blur (and they wouldn't have dreamed of listening to Take That or Boyzone).
I also think of all the middle aged men I come across on RUclips who inexplicably seem to love the shrill vocals and saccharine music of ABBA, middle aged men who- coincidentally I am sure- would have been teenage boys in the 1970s when Agneta and Frida or whatever their names are, were strutting their stuff.
@@jimmycampbell78Leave Abba alone,best pop band ever!
Very enjoyable video, Andy (but then, aren't they all?) I actually quite like The Warning & saw them live at smallish venue near my hometown back in September. They were tight, high-energy and while not virtuosos, they could play quite well. It all sounded live to me (aside from some extraneous percussion elements on a song or two) and they had zero stage props ... a few lights, a few amps, nothing more. While I'm not in the business of trying to convince anyone to like bands that I like (or vice-versa), I will disagree with your assessment that they don't write their own songs and that they don't have riffs. The originality of said material/riffs is up for debate, of course, but in the context of your Metallica comparison, these girls are just repurposing the riffs that they listened to growing up in the same way Metallica did with the riffs they derived from their NWOBHM idols. The stuff on "Kill 'em All" was deep in the shadow of Diamond Head, Budgie, etc.
Did The Warning take a different route to notoriety than Metallica did? Absolutely. But in this era, you have to take a different route, don't you? If labels still existed and still sent scouts out to clubs, or bands sent in demo tapes to record companies hoping to get signed, that'd be a whole different ball of wax. But we all know that's no longer the reality, so alternate paths must be taken. Because The Warning's video of them playing "Enter Sandman" was filmed when they were in their very early teens, I tend to think that Metallica taking note of it was more due to the novelty of it being three young Mexican girls playing it, rather than it being because they're attractive. If you watch that video, they look to be approx. between 12-15 years old and are certainly not dressed provocatively whatsoever. All that said, it sure would be great if there was an exciting underground of hard rockin' bands again like there was back in the 80s, no question. But in the absence of that, I'll settle for The Warning and their ilk over Dua Lipa and Bad Bunny every day of the week.
They were 9, 12 & 14.
Yes, I can see why their Enter Sandman video got so popular, they are so young but serious and have attitude. I don't think people are quite getting my point here. I am saying what I see, based upon their fans repeatedly telling me to go listen to them. Their response to criticism is hysterical. My response is 'what is the fuss all about?' I am interested in the cultural implications. Are they the saviours of rock or the final last gasp as the power of rock ends with this Wiggles like wimper.

Yes. Latin America still loves rock, hard rock, heavy metal-at least until the 2010s. I used to visit Mexico-mainly Oaxaca, but also Mexico City-on an annual basis, and the kids were into metal. But I haven’t been there in the last decade. Maybe things have changed.
BTW-I like Human League. 😊
Andy lets hear you play. I would love to review. Maybe your views will stop falling.
There is so much you misunderstand about The Warning. The video game Rock band is what got them interested in playing rock not how they learned to play. They all started playing different instruments separately. After they had played for a year or so they then got the idea to form a band. As for the video of them playing enter sandman. They were ages 7, 10 and 12 years old. The video got a million views in 24 hours. Only after that did Metallica comment on them. After that Vid they spent years and thousands of hours practicing and honing their craft. They paid their dues .If you don't like the music that's ok.Just say so. But you dont have to trash the band. And make some very uninformed comments to back up your point. At least get your facts straight. And by the way Metalica liked them Enough to invite them to be on The blacklist Album.
...you've been warned !
Wow, 30 minutes of a guy trying to justify his own inadequacies with an incoherent history of rock by a guy half my age. Bro, The Warning will not hurt you. Ease up and self evaluate. Jealousy rant 101.
Someone not liking the Warning seems to have hurt you. Why is that?
@specialkonacid6574 not at all. I could care less but dude is so middle school emo and he has gray hair 🤣😂
@@killesports5882 if this video was about Sleep Token would you be as upset? Andy's schtick is being a pompous British douchebag when in reality he is a talented and knowledgeable musician. Not that that can inform an opinion though.
Get over your crush and get a grip on reality
Andy is 56 or 57 years old, which makes you 112 to 114 years of age. What were you listening to as a teenager in the 1920s?
@GlennSmith-m2e he said he missed the start of Metallica so if hes that old he was deaf until his late 20's 🤣😂
Regardless of how much I don’t like popular music today, rock music is not coming back anymore than Jazz is. I love rock and jazz, but it’s had its day. Today’s culture is different from when I grew in 60s and 70s. No matter how much my dad, and now me, love the big band era of his youth, that hasn’t and won’t come back either. I like the Warning and saw them live in Brooklyn a few months ago. It was good, but no comparison to Led Zeppelin at MSG in 73, but that was then, and it won’t happen again.
Man, you seem like that old guy shaking fist "get off my lawn." I'm actually older than you and been all those places. You don't seem to know anything about them. They have fought their way and earned the acclaim they're getting. They didn't just get a record deal. They turned them down for years because "you can't tell us what to wear and what to play." It is the real thing. They aren't a pro-tool band. They don't use pitch correction. You just decided something. Didn't pay attention. And have started talking.
OK, but you don't need to know anything about a band to know if you like them.
@@richardsinger01 But he was not liking them for all the wrong reasons. I don't actually think he's listened to much. I agree that these girly girls are unlikely hard rock stars but there is nothing phony or contrived about them. I think that's his problem with them. They've put in the sweat and time and years for the love of it. They beat the record industry that wanted them to be those cute little girls playing and dressing what the label wanted. He's wrong but he'll probably never admit it.
Yes, the structure of the video addresses this fact. I keep getting told to listen to them, over and over. So I did and I don't get it, but I'm interested in the fact they look like a Guitar Hero band and that their fans are so old, or at least the ones are that get miffed by any criticism of their little rock princesses. This grew out of a long argument I had on here with a Warning fan. In the end we got to a reasoned and friendly conclusion and he seemed quite excited that i would make such a video. And I did, and I think it is an interesting area of study. Btw, they are pro tooled, I can hear it. Not as bad as many modern bands however
Guitar hero bands don't run and play at the same time.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer I can explain why a lot of their fans are older. We watched them grow up. They were little girls. It was an amusing meme. They were ubiquitous on social media. Who knows social media better than GenZ girls. They took us everywhere with them. When they came home they'd tell us about their adventures minute by minute. The 3 very compelling sisters being sisters. Day after day year after year. They have thousands and thousands of grandparents, parents, aunts and uncles all over the world. We know their mom and dad, their manager, their entire crew... everyone around them. There is an additional layer to their fans. We are proud as parents of them and how hard they work and ya, their music. It is good and you don't give them enough credit. That's why. I'll take your word for it that you've actually listened to them. The things you say just tell us that watched them grow up and know their every struggle... go... what is he talking about. If you want to understand then take a few minutes and watch these.

My guess is that you've listened to "Keep Me Fed" and a couple other videos. Keep Me Fed does have a lot of production. They were literally writing and recording between gigs with other people and producers and ya, there is more in the last album. There is criticism of that fact. It's a good album but it's not the 3 of them twerking every note in their basement. There are just thousands of people in the Spanish-speaking world and the English-speaking world that know way too much about them. And they... we show up for them. And among us are some of the biggest old-time bands in the world.
Anyway, they are great people and they are workaholics and they deserve everything their getting.
You know if my parents heard metallica coming from my room or car stereo it would have been "WTF IS THAT AWFUL NOISE". 30 years later, Metallica is bumper music on sporting events.. and not only do they not even comment on it, I might have caught mom tapping her foot. And yeah, mom and dad hated rock music--- but did watch the grand finale of live aid.
This take is the same as almost every male opinion I’ve heard in my 53 years on Earth. Music was better back then, I discovered this band before they were popular so you are a poser for liking them now. I walked uphill to see my favorite band and uphill to get home. Repetitive takes from our generation, our fathers and our grandfathers generation. Create a new original opinion and get back to me.

is there anything organic , " real " about this band ?? Create a real and thoughtful response and get back to me .., is there anything like Sad Wings Of Destiny here , or Sabotage , or Ride the Lightning ,
@@Matias-music-71 Did I mention anything about The Warning? My response was about his whole take that sounded like a old man yelling at someone to get off his lawn.

This is Andy’s own comment about the video….
..”this video is not really about The Warning”
Copied from his own comment…
Why are so vehemently willing to argue about the merits of a band you don’t enjoy?
Go listen to what you enjoy. My comment was all about his opinion that is so old school and been repeated by so many people in my generation and older that it was not original or that interesting.
You are of course entitled to your opinion.
But I personally don't support much of what you have contributed, and I would guess that you probably don't really care.
But I think you are in a room of few supporters.
I've been a fan of The Warning for a year now, among many other new young bands.
I have viewed hundreds of videos of The Warning and other young bands, and videos from commenters and reactions to their videos.
Out of the total videos I've watched, which included average people not too knowledgeable in music, as well as professional musicians, teachers, music scholars, etc... yours is the first video which breathes so much negativity into the accomplishments, of not just The Warning, but it would seem any other young bands emerging, producing exceptional music.
One thing that impresses me the most about The Warning, not only are they incredibly talented, but their have a high degree of integrity and self-respect. They don't parade themselves around on stage half-naked. They are definetely very beautiful young women, which in of itself is not bad, but they don't parade themselves around in an overt sexual way. They present themselves as very confident young women, and let their talent and music speak for them.
Your video came into my feed unsolicited, probably because it had "The Warning" in the title. I decided to watch ... most of it.
I will be giving you a thumbs down, and unlikely to view any of your other videos.
Good riddance to you and your lack of understanding other people’s opinions

It is reactionary and doesn't in any way elaborate properly on the issues I have with the video.

If you're a guitar player then Rockband is BS, THERE'S NO STRINGS! What that game does well is expose youngster's to music they've likely never heard before. The Warning are a fantastic young band, and they literally seem to be workaholics. They are under contract for three more albums with their current label. Their live cover of Atlas Rise from The Whiskey a go go show, IMO is better than Enter Sandman. To do that live as a trio at their ages at that time is something special!!
Thanks for your video. It made me laugh, it made me reminisce (which I will refer to later), and as a 64-year-old Australian who grew up liking hard/heavy(ish) rock, I can relate to a lot of what you said. Woops, sorry this is going to be a bit long.
I’m also a fan of the Warning (after not paying much attention to hard rock bands from the last 20 or so years), and I’m not entirely sure why I singled them out. Maybe It’s for the reasons you suggested.
Maybe I like these young women because they are not threatening (a silly reason, for sure). Who knows? They do seem respectful and disciplined, having each learned piano when they were about 6 years old (I think).
All I know is that I like this band's music and their story. During their school years, they would do homework and music practice every night. Then came “Rock Band”, followed by real instruments, then they formed a cover band (at ages 9, 12, & 14), followed by songwriting (when the youngest was around 10 years old).
I suppose they are musicians first and rockers second.
And as a fan of The Warning, I did initially feel that instinctive desire to make you “see the error of your ways”! Maybe IF you heard this song, or that one… etc. But then again, NO! The Warning are not what you like, and that’s fine.
In case you made it this far, I just want to mention the "reminiscence" stuff:
I bought that book Encyclopedia Metallica, but I don’t seem to have it anymore. I also hated those New Romantic bands.
I can remember the band patches. I had them on a blanket, so probably not very cool.
Your band-name comments made me laugh so much! In the 80's, I put a compilation of my favourite heavy metal songs on a cassette. There were lots of compilation albums at the time with those ridiculous names. I titled my cassette Black Axe! (with tongue-in-cheek).😁
I grew up with Slade, Deep Purple, Led Zeppelin, Rainbow and others in the early to mid 70’s. British punk rock bands never appealed to me because they couldn’t play very well, but they did have a positive effect (as you point out) on many bands that followed.
Anyway, thanks for your thoughts.
I understand where Andy is coming from. Having been a youth and teenager in Glasgow during the 70's/80's I've experience countless bands and the changes in 'rock' live at the Greens Playhouse which was renamed the Apollo, the best venue in the world in its day.. Seen it all, been there got the 'tshirts' as they say. These girls are just the latest incarnation and good luck to them. They may not be Quo, the Who, ac/dc, Bowie and the Spiders, Todd Rundgren, Rush, Alice Cooper, Iron Maiden or any others I have been spoiled with, but they are in a minority of new bands doing this kind of stuff successfully with the aid of MSM they will find mass appeal. For me they are the Rock/Metal version of 'Stars on 45 albums' regurgitating what is formulaic and successful but they are committed and do it well and their fans love it. The latest generation needs live music to see just as I did. So why knock it ? Just don't listen to it or buy it if you don't like, but allow it its place.
spot on, so so so spot on
You couldn't be any more off course to think TW aren't leading a rebellion and obviously haven't listened to any of their lyrics.
One of their main themes in most their music is the dire shape society is in today. (A topic a bitter old rocker like you might agree with)
It's as important, to the youth of today's society, as the war protests of 60s and 70s rock.
It just so happens that their name became "The Warning" for a reason. At the time their name chose them, when they were literally children, they had no idea what their future would become.
Grab a cup of tea, maybe a crumpet or whatever you call them, and put your feet up and just read their lyrics. Don't even listen to the music and you might gain a little insight into what they're saying with their music. You can't get more rock and roll with the message they're sending.
It's just a pop rock band. They're not punks and certainly they're not Bob Dylan or Joni Mitchell.
@@andrepires7687 I'm not talking about their music or comparing them to anyone. I'm talking about the message in their lyrics and them rebelling against the system.
Everybody's got the right to their opinion about music, but not the right to spread falsehoods about someone you know nothing about.
He appears to know nothing about their musical education, their musical influences, how they've financed their ability to continue doing what they love, among several other things. I suggest anyone making accusations about someone in a public forum, do some research first.
Accusations about what? He said that they are ok, competent, but generic. They are also wonderful people? Ok, good, but their moral virtues have nothing to do with the music.
Bloody hell, mate, you talk exactly like a boomer. How many times a day you te younger people to get out of your lawn? You have forgotten how the elders spoke sh*t about you just for being younger and how back in their days was when things were done properly? You disparage them for getting interested in rock because of a game. The older folks of your yime would piss on you for getting interested in rock because you watched TV or bought an LP, for them that was cutting corners instead of much harder it was for them. You feel me, fella? Old geezer talk from a rock head! Christ!
Really? That's the whole argument? "Rock should be aggressive and rebellious" 🤣. Even pseudo-analysts like Fantano or PunkRockMBA could make a more complete critique🤣..For half the video I was totally out, it's evident that you have zero context of the band...
Anyway, there is nothing more rebellious, aggressive, brave and transgressive than 3 talented, charismatic and hard-working women redefining what rock means, opening a new gap in the genre, delivering a proposal that has transcended decades and subgenres of rock/metal, countries, languages and generations of fans... showing that rock can also be fun, honest and elegant, recovering human values, innovating in the way of forming a team and a band without the need to sexualize or live off controversy... 3 little girls with their "bubblegum" riffs have been more rebellious and "anti-system" throughout the concept of their albums than many "Vikings" with their misguided anarchism.....peace ✌🏻
Jeez for a second there I thought the meds needed adgusting, but no he pulled it back into line.
What about QOTSA Andy? That’s a very original and raw sounding rock band imo!!
Was
I like em too
Prefer Kyuss.
Andy, I must admit that you encapsulate so well that moment in time when people like Venom were pushing boundaries and we were all confused (before genre Talibanism). Metallica were fond of Sabbath, Misfits, Killing joke, so what? Those were times of cold war and nuclear paranoia, tape trading and fanzines. Very analogue times
Ask the people that The Warning have opened for what they think about The Warning. Never heard of frost till now, and I like Robinson and Jerome, Jethro tull, garbage and ABBA. Also can't beat a bit of Louis Armstrong. (yes I'm that old).
No riffs, no cool drum beats in an Warning song???? Have you ever heard one of their songs? Or is this just a piss take rant from a contrarian just because?
This dude loves the sound of his own voice and blah blah blah sounds like an old man yelling at clouds!
errm well it is his YT channel which is about opinions on music. Maybe you'd like him to sit there in silence occasionally interspersed with short comments. Ay caramba, as they say in Mexico.
Amigo, y un dato: México, no es sudamérica. y tenemos un bagaje musical extraordinario, por si no lo sabes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You like Metallica. I do too. The warning is not Metallica and they never pretended to be Metallica. Gatekeeping is not good. Play rock however you want it. Most of those rock stars in the 80s were horrible people. I am surprised some of them made it out alive . lol
There was once a young lady who wanted to enter the realm of rock. She travelled far and wide, learning skills and gaining the knowledge to enter that hallowed kingdom. And after many years of study she ventured forth to the realm of rock and headed to the entrance of that kingdom.
'Who are you?' said the gatekeeper
'I am a young lady who wishes to enter the realm of rock, who are you?' said the young lady
'I am the RUclipsr Andy Edwards who once drummed for Robert Plant, but now resides here as the gatekeeper of rock, a question...do you sound like Metallica?'
'No' said the lady....
'Well, sling yer hook you vile rock strumpet!!!' retorted Andy Edwards.
Do you mean something like this?
@AndyEdwardsDrummer -- Since you made it clear this video was not about The Warning -- just that you were prompted to make this video by fans of The Warning -- I forgive you your fact errors about the band. And, in fact, as a 56-year-old man from the USA who's seen The Warning in concert 7 times and tries not to take himself extremely seriously, I can confirm that The Warning's biggest supporters from my country and in our age group are not fans, we're evangelists (I say "we" because it's a charge to which I plead guilty and have been sentenced to occasional terms of self-mockery).
And in this post, you show yourself to be, if not an evangelist for, then a fervent advocate for MWOBHM; an arbiter of what it is and is not. And you make a very strong case for what it is and is not. Your insight stands up to anyone else's regarding who, if anyone, is a proper young standard-bearer for MWOBHM. Even if I concede the point that Metallica's Enter Sandman was the song that most influenced The Warning, you said it yourself -- Metallica from the Black Album forward was something not quite in the tradition of MWOBHM. If that's the baton they're carrying -- that's not a Metal baton. So to hold them up as the three people who should be on the Wanted Poster for Murder by Sanitization and Fine-Grit Sandpaper of the musical tradition of Rob Halford and Lemmy Kilmister is to knowingly commit a fallacy.
You're entitled to your opinions about The Warning. You're not entitled to fallacy.
The Warning have nothing to do with NWOBHM, but their aged fans do...that is the point.
Andy, this is genius. 39 minutes and six seconds of inane yet relevant opining about music followed by comment after comment of pure entertainment. You have served up yet another buffet of YT enjoyment. Can't wait to see your channel hit 1M subs one day.
Now, off to find some videos by The Warning (who I've never heard of until about 40 minutes ago) and then to return and chastise you for a bit - or not.
You are obviously British....only someone British would utilise the word 'buffet' in this context.
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer Canadian prairies actually. Our context for "buffet" is typically preceded by "All you can eat".
I dont think you realise what the response was to being indifferent to them...
@@AndyEdwardsDrummer I do though. This one video may be the one to inspire me to start my own channel...I reiterate my sentiment from above - your genius can be scary sometimes Andy...
There is also a big difference between Metallica and The Warning: Paulina is a much better drummer than Ulrich... even when she was 12 years old. The other difference is that it took 3 little girls to do a 4 grown up men's job. Also The Warning never mistreated their bassist. Cant say the same for the Metallica fellas, can i?
I remember the new wave of Mongolian screamo gypsy folk music of the 1930s. Now there was some proper music, made by true rebels and outsiders. It’s been all downhill since then. Nothing but over-produced wankers.
rofl
I googled Handsome Beasts and there’s no mention of Phil Olsten on their wiki page! Plus I can’t find his RUclips channel
You definitely smell opportunity to mock others. I'm not even 1/5 of the way through this video. Enjoy "cleverly" amusing yourself. Goodbye. :)
Glad you enjoyed it
