So I skimmed through that guy’s videos about his sculptures and other projects honoring TW or its individual players, and you’re right, “weird” is the word for him. I hope he doesn’t take his “love” for them any farther than inside his house. Something unusual’s in his head.

I don’t have fatherly thoughts for TW members, and I feel I can learn…[Read more]

BTW, who IS this guy? He’s more obsessed with The Warning than PopeBeanie and me. He does reactions, portraits, and with his own little trio he does covers of their songs. Gee…I thought I was weird.

LOL thanks for watching him, so I don’t have to! There are a lot of other strange youtube presenters. I think some of them are just fin…[Read more]

[Beato] has a bazillion followers. For him to devote a segment to them would greatly boost their careers.

Beato and TW have “met”, at least once online, and I’ll bet they’re not ignoring each other. IMO, it would work just as well for both of them if (say) they had a two or three hour interview some day after TW’s skyrocket slows…[Read more]

Seems like a two-guy blog here but it feels like documenting significant rock history. Amongst perhaps a hundred TW reviewers I found another producer/multi-instrument musician to learn from. Here he touches on TW’s Enter Sandman cover from their teen-hood to the pro video to Teatro in just under 14 minutes.

I’m pretty sure that’s fairly difficult to master.

It is like she has two brains, and she’s been pulling it off for years. It amazes other drummers. She’s also responsible for running software on a laptop (near to her but is often not easy to see) that triggers the click track that other players hear, some backing tracks, and tha…[Read more]

Not all reactions to The Warning are abject genuflections. Not that he pans The Warning, but he doesn’t feel they are quite as important as the members of The Warning Army think they are.

This was his first review, where he seemed to me to be way overgeneralizing based only on one performance. He could have humbly cut his e…[Read more]

In the UK last year, there were just under 3,000 adoptions and 60,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:20

In the USA during the same period, there were 70,000 adoptions and 440,000 children in foster care. Ratio 1:6

The disparity was studied, and one of the immediate difficulties in analysing the underlying data was that the vast majority of UK…[Read more]

Another late night. But I learned more technically and musically from this guy (see below), again. I noticed months ago and really appreciated subtle “bends” in Dany’s guitar riff in Narcisista, which was also consistent in each performance. Out of several reactors I’ve watched, the reactor below is the first one who’s pointed out that subtle…[Read more]

That’s all the humor I need.

No Mr. Bean? How about Peter Sellers as a detective?

Thanks, that’s the most I’ve learned about them in an hour piece.

I struggle to hear more from Ale, and this confirms how she’s adjusted so well to her older sisters talking over her so much! I’ve been there myself, often just giving up, but I never see Ale giving up. She keeps looking up to her older sisters, while deferring to them. I’m…[Read more]

A lot of people feel different things during a reaction, so I’ve picked one that I’m guessing most people can appreciate.

Side-note, very few reviewers point out that the intro to this song, also replayed a few times in the song, is in 7/8 time, which is unusual. If you want to learn to follow it, count the beats one through seven, four times.…[Read more]

Since The Warning has dumped the full Teatro Metropolitan concert, that means that unless they have more current (new) material waiting in the wings, we’re about to go through a drought of TW material. They have started to get an unbelievable amount of reactions and/or reviews on Youtube. It used to be one every few days, then e…

I mean come on, Enco, let’s snap out of it!

OK I hear ya.

I’m feeling a bit of reversed Fair and Balanced now. Apologies if I’ve posted this before. Plus, it’s from 30 years ago, if you can believe it! This is genuine “woke” history, right? Before the movement was culturally disappropriated, e.g. by “All Lives Matter”.

(IMO, even ignoring the lyrics, it’s a creatively musical maste…[Read more]
