I have been a Metallica fan since 1986 and this cover is among the best I have heard. Cookie cutter musicians can parrot someone else's original all day long, but when a musician can take a cover tune, make it their own while still maintaining the integrity of the original, that is genius. Bravo to The Warning.
For those of you new to The Warning- you would love seeing their videos from when their weren’t even 10 years old. I can’t remember the YouTube video- but you just have to love how they developed their talents and are so close as sisters but share the limelight. I have three daughters and love seeing that bond. We haven’t even seen even the best from The Warning- no doubt we will be loving their music for decades.
first time listening to The Warning on Spotify and when this song came up, I immediately stopped what I'm doing. This is a very creative cover and very good execution. I'll be front row when you're in my area. 🔥🤘
What a beautiful version!
I’m addicted to Alessia Cara’s voice. I had no idea who she is till my daughters were like “ oh yeah we know her. She is awesome.” Have you other Gen Xer’s checked out her independent stuff. Plus her “ singing impersonations on Jimmy Fallon.” Between these three super talented sisters and Alessia, I can’t say “ no good music since the 90’s”.
Holding off on the main Enter Sandman riff and turning it into a half-time breakdown at the end is actually genius
This is how you honor a classic without copy pasting.
I absolutely LOVE this! As an old Metallica fan I thought this was amazing! In the gourmet food world, this would be known as a "deconstructed dish", and what you served up was most certainly gourmet! I was also pleasantly surprised to see Alessia Cara in this. Absolutely well done! I also just realized you are the girls from the viral "Crazy Train" video. So proud of all of you!
I have 61 years old, and those girls have stole my HEART (since I get in LOVE with the Wilson Sisters, Nancy and Ann)... Their Rock Queen's predecessors!!! I fell the same ROCK POWER but NOW in a full girl BAND! The still base power of the incredible bass soul of the "little" DRUMS sister... And the wonderful base guitar of the first sister!!! And the ascension of a more mature middle "blonde" sister in the vocals from the original YOUTUBE cover from almost a decade ago!!! GO GIRLS, you shock my older rock HEART!!! GOD BLESS YOU THREE!!!
For the people not liking this cover because it's not like the original, that is what Metallica wanted. This is from Rolling Stone: “We said, ‘Pick a song. Do what you want with it. If you want to play it backwards or turn it on its head, we respect and appreciate it.’ ” — Lars Ulrich
I'm a newby to the Warning, i'm a professional rock musician for years now. This band is the real deal! Their rendition of Enter Sandman is so original that its amazing! OMG the harmonies in the middle take this song to another level! It is sooooo good , i LOVE it!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE LOVE LOVE this! These ladies are true professionals and totally fit the mould the project. PERFECTION!
Love you didn’t just copy their song exactly. This version ROCKS you girls are ROCKSTARS
I knew Enter Sandman since I was 7, but now I’m addicted to this song because these girls , I saw their original cover in 2016, but when they performed it live for muse the song clicked in me
Really impressed. So happy to have discovered these girls!!!
The drumer is so hot !!! :thanksdoc:
I just discovered The Warning. This is flippin’ awesome.
Being a Metallica fan since the mid 80s, this is badass!!
I don't usually like covers much, espeeeeecially when a new interpretation is recorded but wow, THIS is a definite exception. I'm only two years behind discovering this but glad I did. I worked on the air in radio well over a decade during the original's era, both in rock and classic rock, and loved the original when it was released. This is equally outstanding!
