Never heard of The Warning before this video. I'm just listening to them non stop since then. We've been waiting for a true rock band for decades.

[TheRiversSoul]

I swear Dany is the kindest person on the planet

[streamlinedengine]

The greatest thing about Dany is that she's simultaneously the funniest goofball, the most likeable, sunshiny person you'll ever meet in your life, AND a meticulously dedicated professional who doesn't mess around when it comes work, and knows exactly everything she's saying and doing.

[RandyTWA]

Dany is the most upbeat, positive, passionate and talented young lady you’ll ever run across!

[dblazqud]

I'm a simple person. I see The Warning. I see Dany. I see the video.

[KansaSCaymanS]

Love that Dany is not only a great singer/musician/front woman, but a guitar nerd too! 😎

[metallaholic]

I was at the show when the explorer was gifted to her. Super cool.

A little info about the girls…
They are 3 sisters from Monterrey, Mexico.
They fell in love with rock music when their parents bought them the video game “Rock-band”. That’s how everything started.
The band just celebrated their 10 year anniversary.

- 👩🏼 Daniela (Dany) Guitar and lead vocals.
She is 23 years old.
She plays piano and saxophone 🎷.
She is sponsored by PRS.
She loves donuts 🍩.
Her main hobby is diamond painting 🖼️.
She just started a collection of pictures of herself next to fire extinguishers🧯 from all over the world.
She is a sweetheart, very loving girl and disciplined.
She has the best voice for rock music in the industry today. Only Lzzy Hale can compete with Dany.
On tour she always has to have fresh fruit. 🍉 🍎 🍊

- 🧑🏻‍🦰 Paulina (Pau) Drums and vocals.
She is 21 years old.
She is sponsored by Sabian.
She plays piano. 🎹
She collects Anime and Vinyls.
She writes almost all the lyrics for the band.
She is a genius firecracker 🧨
She is an amazing drummer and she can sing while she plays, very difficult thing to do.
She has a tremendous voice that transmits a lot of emotion.
She is the lead singer in many of their songs.
NEVER tell her in the “meet and greets” that she is short person, she’ll get mad.
She is going to make you cry when she sings the song “black holes”. Prepare the tissues 😢.

- 👧🏻 Alejandra (Ale) Bass and Vocals.
She is sponsored by Spector.

This girl is the youngest (18) but she is the tallest.
Ale is a tremendous bass player, she is a clean, clear and consistent player.
She sings well but she doesn’t like to sing.
She prefers the backing vocals.
She loves Takis chips (fire).
NEVER put pineapple in her pizza 🍕, she will get mad.
She is very reserved, but very smart!.
When things are going out of control in the band, she is the voice of reason.
She has super strength powers, she can break an apple with her little bare hands 🍏💪🏻.

Dany is so natural and easy on camera. You can see how much this band means to her.

[boxychubbo]

She is my favorite rock singer, hands down. Her voice is exceptional. She gets a lot of credit for her range, which is great, and I love it, but what really gets me is her enunciations and when she really opens her throat and sings in her lower register. She has this amazing timbre in her voice that can't be taught. And good lord what stage presence.

[SophiaAphrodite]

The story behind Lizzy Hale giving her that guitar is touching. When Lizzy was on tour early in her career, Jason Todd of Shinedown did this exact thing To Lizzy on stage and when she tried to give it back he said he bought it for her and when she asked what she could do, he told her to do this for a female guitarist who she thought was amazing. She also asked Dany that when she has made it, to do this for an up and coming female guitarist she thinks rocks as well. It is this beautiful "pay it forward" story that I hope continues on for decades. These girls just kick so much ass.

[Nas_Khan]

Dany is my absolute favourite and the best front woman in rock n roll. Playing both rhythm & lead guitar while singing lead and interacting with the crowd with full passion. What a boss lady 🤘🔥💕

[krash]

Love this video to see her latest rig! Dany is a MONSTER guitarist and her sound is HUGE Live!! Viva The Warning!!!

[Indo]

I love watching her smile as she’s Gear-Nerding and then turn into the Rock Goddess on stage!

[davidp]

Dany is becoming the face of rock in her generation. Like those before her, she’s carving out her niche and showing us how it’s done.

What a classy, articulate and talented woman she is.

[AntonioGSilva-iucj]

Daniela is the Queen of the Rock scene! Probably one of the best human beings in the world. And this beautiful yellow guitar suits her a lot.

[confuxio]

Well, talk about The Warning and say that they are a spectacular power trio, everything they do is fantastic as a band and as musicians, composers, singers... I just wanted to comment that Dany is really adorable when she speaks, her tone of voice, her facial expressions, her body language, you can tell that she is very honest and sincere and believes in what she does, she explains it with a lot of passion and Well, she's adorable as if she were a lifelong friend or something like that 🎸✊❤️

[steveweilhart]

Dany is a gear nerd just like the rest of us - so talented - Warning is my new fave band - go girls

[PaganOnTheShortBus]

Very few musicians come across this genuine. Good for her and her sisters!

[reactionsaccount]

Finally an up to date tour of her rig, thank you very much for this video. Best band I have seen in decades, they sound amazing, one of those rare bands that are just better live.
