Nice Female Rock Band! The Warning

[Sal1950]

Some of them are the half that gets annoyed if not receiving attention...

I think I told you the story about the chick that was riding on the back of my (then brand new) Ducati Monster with me. All evening I was getting comments from the guys in cars like "nice bike" etc. She got so ticked they weren't saying anything about her (she was a hottie bar-maid) that she asked if I minded her taking her top off. What the hell do I care ?? So we road home the next 40 miles or so down the interstate with her totally topless.
I swear to God that's a true story. LOL

Hahaha... Yups, biker chic de jour. Sounds like a fun ride. My first girlfriend was like that. 14 years old and yanking her shirt up all the time so the boys and men could get a good view of them.

I traded attending the ACDC senior concert in Stuttgart yesterday for the live concert of the vital metal band The Warning, introduced by Amir, at the small Jazzhaus with about 300 visitors in Freiburg, Germany. It was the right decision. It was one of the best live concerts I have ever attended. Alejandra, Paulina, and Daniela master their instruments and their voices perfectly. The songs by The Warning are intricate and full of surprises. The immense joy of playing and singing by the three musicians was infectious. The audience, ranging in age from 10 to 80 years old, was completely thrilled. The Jazzhaus was vibrating. I think this was one of the last opportunities to get up close and personal with the band. In August, The Warning will perform as a highlight of their European tour at the metal festival in Wacken, with more than 80,000 visitors. I am sure that The Warning will achieve a major breakthrough in Europe then. Many thanks to Amir for introducing The Warning.

Wikipedia states that Celeste's vocals and music are often compared to those of Amy Winehouse, Billie Holiday and Adele.

I think you can listen to most her 2CD "Not your Muse[2021]" album at this youtube link.

"Never Enough" is a song performed by Loren Allred for the film The Greatest Showman (2017). It is the second track from soundtrack the film's soundtrack, released in the same year.
In the following England Got Talent 2024 youtube video, please skip to the time-mark 3:30 and listen until time-mark 10:00.

Loren is great. I watched that episode a while back and since, I have heard her sign that many times. It never gets old.

Recent profile of The Warning in Guitar World:

“We don’t want to use guitar solos as a crutch. You know – ‘after the bridge, solo!’ When I do play a solo, I want it to stand out”: Following mega-tours with Muse and Royal Blood, sister act The Warning are riff rock’s next big success story

From Metallica covers to U.S. network television and a searing third album powered by the creative heat of fuzz and distortion, Daniela and Alejandra Villarreal Vélez are going places fast, and hungry for more

Informative background after listening to them Choke upthread. Their affection for throwback-rock derives from admiration for Gilmour and others. Easy to see why some of the old-timers here like it, but not my cup of tea, too bland and slow-paced, not much in the way of imagination or interesting sonic textures, etc. You can indeed hear their professed K-pop influence in the harmonies though.

An interesting analysis of The Warning's songs. May I ask, what is your contribution to creating music with imagination and interesting sonic textures? It would be great if you could share some YouTube links to your rock band's performances.

Looks like you want to criticise me for not liking some music you like?

There's no requirement for people to have the same tastes. For me there's nothing really interesting going on with The Warning. I mentioned a few aspects, hardly an in-depth analysis (I could elaborate, I don't think that's what you are asking for though). Some get great pleasure from well-produced, well-performed standard repertoire, just not me. If you are one of those people (just for example, I'm not trying to circumscribe your pleasures) then go for it and enjoy. There's no reason not to.

Wow! Good 'ol rock and roll!

Would this not be better called hard rock?

 

[Axo1989]

Would this not be better called hard rock?

Maybe. But I reckon this would be a non-english-speaking background female trio doing hard rock:

Spoiler: Or maybe it's "baby" metal? :)

I liked the raw version, but this is the official one with better sound etc

*spoilered to respect delicate US-ian language sensibilities ... for genre purists I guess it's a collaboration between a trio that does J-pop/metal fusion and a post-hardcore band with metalcore roots

But here they are at Wacken, for the fans:

Enjoy. Despite the venue, not metal, not at all.

Despite the venue, not metal, not at all.

Latest album is heavier than many alternative rock bands. Heavy metal is relative to other rock music. Led Zeppelin was "heavy metal".

Haha, now you made me listen to the whole length of the Wacken segment I posted (for sure if I listen harder I can detect more metal-adjacent flavours in the riffage). And consult: my dad agrees they considered Zeppelin along with Sabbath (and less-remembered acts like Iron Butterfly and Steppenwolf) to be seminal metal bands back in the day. Certainly genre-categorisation is subject to relativities and reference points (to me Sabbath sound like metal, but Zeppelin sound like rock). He also reckons they used 'hard rock' and 'heavy metal' somewhat interchangeably then.

Consider that I was merely a teenager in the 00s and we had punk-infused metalcore, deathcore and math-rock as baselines. So if music doesn't have (at least some of) curtains of distortion/overdrive, double-speed kick-drum, deep baselines and fair lashings of screamo/growlo then it's rock, not (a) metal (sub-genre) to my ear.

The Warning have some nice hard-rock riffage, quite slow drumming and entirely harmonious vocalisation (with maybe the odd snarl). Also, where is the dark thematic material that metal genres require? To me, lacking the thematics it's less heavy/more mainstream than even the nu-metal/electropop fusion of Poppy (or Grimes at her heaviest, or both together):

Spoiler: Play Destroy

Footnote: the BMTHxBabymetal track posted above was of course the former returning to roots after some (quite successful: Sempiternal was a no.1 album here circa 2013) hard rock releases that they referred to as 'pop' and so sent up their genre-heresy and negative metalcore fan reactions, especially with this riposte:

Spoiler: Heavy Metal

No, like me is wondering why your opinion of who or what they are matters. Do you have some authority in the field or just upset that some like this music and you don't?

Yeh right....

That is more on you than the band. Let's hear from a music teacher:
