I know I'm very late to the party, but I wanted to say thanks for this reaction. It sent me down the rabbit hole and it's been incredible. I hope you're able to find the time to check them out more because it's been an absolute blast for me!
Hi, I've been a long-time YT subscriber but only just joined Patreon today and I'll be straight up and admit my reason is to post this comment. You joked that you need to listen to The Warning's whole discography and make the band your life. You'll probably realize from comments like mine that... yeah that happens *big time* with this band. Anyways, I wanted to float a YT playlist your way. You already gave yourself a bit of a story-arc experience by watching Enter Sandman first, but there is sooo much more. This playlist gives you a few more songs to explore first, then blends in some non-music content like interviews and tour diaries, and by the end of it you'll have a broken heart and an uplifted soul. You'll seen even more of this band's incredible journey and hear a lot of their amazing music. These sisters are something very special. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLhSocBUolMqkmb8NAzCVt4EDEUNjgWS2P
Love The Warning. Great songwriting, talent, and they kick ass I hope to see more reactions from their discography. But I also hope you personally fall into their rabbit hole
I would really like to see a reaction to Pisces by Jinjer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQNtGoM3FVU Then probably Judgment & Punishment to confirm that is in fact her real voice. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q5rg_63Shqg Bonus points: Jinjer is Ukrainian.
Okay, these girls are insanely talented. Seeing people this young playing instruments that well is always impressive, but especially in a rock/metal space, which already feels way less common these days. As someone who’s always gravitated toward rock bands, this was such a fun reaction to watch. That Enter Sandman cover was already wild for their age, but then jumping forward to CHOKE and seeing how much they’d evolved? Holy hell. They absolutely rock. The confidence, stage presence, songwriting, all of it leveled up massively. Also, massive respect to the drummer. As someone who has messed around with drums a bit myself, singing while drumming at the same time is ridiculously hard. My brain simply refuses to cooperate trying to do both together. The coordination and control there is seriously impressive, especially at that age. Definitely adding The Warning into the regular rotation now alongside Paramore and Skillet. Such a cool find.
I wish I had the talent and skill to appreciate music like Eralia. Sadly, I am but a lowly pleb. 😞 However I am SUPER psyched for Amazing Spider-Man 2 upload! No spoilers, E, but you're gonna need tissues. 😅😅😅🖤
So when this eventually makes its way to YouTube it will be flooded with comments from the bands fans, called The Warning Army. They are very loyal and flood posts with likes and comments. You will end up with paragraphs with details about them so I am not going to get into all of that. Specifically about Choke they wrote the lyrics and music. When this specific album came out they arrived in the studio with all of their songs fully written and had legendary producer David Bendeth helped them achieve the feeling they were going for. I honestly feel their greatest strength is song writing. They are super smart and know how to blend genres, add twists and keep your ears interested. You might be tempted to listen to everything but reacting to some of their live videos is an awesome way to get acquainted with their evolving style. Yes as much as some fans hate bands changing their style has changed. They went from writing their first music as children, put out their first concept album as young teens and are now on weeks away from releasing their 5th album as 20 something women. If you can hold off and want to know a safe spot to go, I think their song Z (about being gen z) live from Teatro Metropolitan is a perfect place to go. You might even find it inspirational to your musical journey.
Im beggin for you to react to (Chicago - 25 or 6 to 4 live at tanglewood 1970) and (Dire straits - sultans of swing alchemy live)2 of the best live performances of all time and 2 of the best guitar solos of all time I guarantee it will not disappoint, regardless if you react to them or not they are definitely something you have to experience at least once in your life and i dont want you to miss out on it!!!
Since you mentioned The Best of Both Worlds, Hannah Montana… that video was Pau doing that drum cover when she was seven years old. Since then she’s been named as an up-and-coming multiple times but 2023 was Drumeo Rock Drummer of the year and 2025 was Modern Drummer Drummer of the year and got her own magazine cover on modern drummer. Kirk Hammett, when he heard this cover of Enter Sandman, commented on how the drummer kicked ass. She is the wild card and the Pau Cam during concerts when you get to see her play is insane
They seem to be very talented but still a cover band so not they don't write their own lyrics. Your mention of them playing Vegas though makes me sad for them as it is no longer the venue it used to be before Trump bankrupted the city with his immigration and economic policies making things unaffordable again and scaring off foreign tourism... Here is hoping things in this country will change for the better next year. Here is someone who is no longer with us that you might enjoy. Tom Petty who was also one of the Traveling Wilburys super group in "Last Dance with Mary Jane... " https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aowSGxim_O8
They’re not in any way shape or form a “Cover Band”. This is what they did as young kids. The breakout Enter Sandman was when they were 14-9. They write all their own music, they have 2 EPs, two TEDx appearances and 4 full studio albums with a 5th one due out anytime this year. They have been on tour and opened for Foo Fighters, Muse, Halestorm, YungBlud and more. Collabs with Band-Maid, Dead Poet Society, Maggie Lindemann, Alessia Cara. They have multiple live concerts and a full concert film they put out last year to theaters and then streaming. Multiple epic music videos, a bunch of nominated for for various awards and some that won awards. They performed their original music at the VMAs twice. They did everything independently, turning down labels until they found the right deal in 2020 where they signed a five album deal with Lava (A Republic label) and became the first Mexican rock band to ever sign with a major American record label. So no, they’re absolutely NOT just a talented cover band.
amazing reaction Eralia! these ladies are EXPLODING in popularity lately, and well deserved! don't know how much of the Warning Army (us fans) watch your Patreon, but once this gets posted to YouTube, the army will come out of the woodwork responding to this. You need to see a live performance of theirs (any song from the Pepsi Center concert is best) and you'll be even more blown away!! You're ready to go down The Warning rabbit hole!
💯💯💯 and I would literally donate toward a live stream on Twitch of that Pepsi Center concert to see you react to it live! That would be insane, but just seeing your reactions to it or any of the songs from it will be great too 😂
These young ladies are incredible. Reminds me a little of Liliac, another family band of hard rockers
As you see more of them, you will see that their superpower is live performing. You’ll be hard-pressed to find any studio version they’ve done that’s as good or better than anything they do live. They are absolutely amazing. ⚡️⚡️🤘🤘
There are so many female voices I want to make sure you've heard now after watching you react to this. Here's a few with some links - Floor Jansen from Nightwish - Ghost Love Score - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47e_961OQWE&list=RD47e_961OQWE&start_radio=1 Tatiana Shmayluk from Jinjer (Ukranian band) - I Speak Astronomy - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Shp1vmiuQc&list=RD0Shp1vmiuQc&start_radio=1 Brittany Slays from Unleash the Archers - Awakening - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gqUPGa15Oto&list=RDgqUPGa15Oto&start_radio=1 Lizzy Hale from Halestorm (but not in this video) - Shatter Me - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYSs1w22a_w&list=RDVYSs1w22a_w&start_radio=1 Maria Franz from Heilung - In Maidjan - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kmWTZ3KfnXE&list=RDkmWTZ3KfnXE&start_radio=1 I will post this in the /reaction channel on the Discord as well.
Dany, Pau and Ale are kick ass! Seven years after this Metallica cover, they were invited to do a real cover for Metallicas Blacklist tribute album that released alongside the 30th anniversary of the Black Album. They are the opening track on that album. And their rendition of Enter Sandman from the Pepsi Center concert in 2023 is EPIC (entire concert is crazzyyyy, and it’s on YouTube) PLEASE DO MORE! THE WARNING ARMY WILL SHOW UP! BTW… in this Enter Sandman video, Dany was 14, Pau on drums was 12 and Ale on the bass was 9!
Awesome 😱👏
