Default Replaced warped rotors, now grinding when braking

I had a rubbing noise coming from the passenger side front wheel and sqealing brakes so naturally I changed the brake pads. That didnt fix the problem, so after putting on new wheel bearings and it still didnt fix the problem it dawned on me, my rotors are probably warped. I just changed them and at first it was smooth until I first hit the brakes. The side making the noise is even making the same noise as before but when brakes are apllied it grinds as if its metal on metal becoming more violent as I brake harder. My question is, considering I used the new brakes for about 3 months on the warped rotors, are the brake pads worn so uneven because of the old rotors that they are pressing on the new rotors unevenly causing the grinding? Or is it possibly a caliper problem? There is no uneven pull on the brakes

Thanks guys, really trying to get this problem fixed soon.

I would check your pads just to be safe. Sounds like either your pads are gone, or you need to check your calipers

Thats what I figured. Whatre some signs the pads have gone bad?
