THANK YOU❤ I’m glad you liked it and yes they have lots of song they rock out in! They did a cover a the Dio song Last in Line got the Dio cancer fund tribute! They were ask buy Dio’s widow personally to do it and it’s amazing😊 Thanks again Debbie😊
Maybe she needs to watch their vlog, "Sail Away Secrets". Good stuff and stories about the creation of the video. Thanks for requesting this to be reacted to. Enjoy! Fang4Life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
Liliac pron: LILL-Lee-Ack is the Romanian word for Bat, as in Vampire Bat. I used to see these kids b4 covid, playing on the Santa Monica Pier in Los Angeles...doing covers...they are crazy talented! They have all of their best covers on their channel...new music coming soon...but my favorite is Mars, Live.
Melodie can cover most famous female rock stars. She covers Joan Jett, Gracie Slick, Janice Joplin. Her originals are unique "Nothin" Dear Father" "Not Afraid. She also covers male rock stars well. Ozzie , Dio , Kurt Kobain,. The beginning of fan interest when Liliac covered Ozzies Crazy Train on the Santa Monica pier live. Then more of us saw their huge potential covering Dio's Rainbow in the Dark on CBS Worlds Best show. From there we have been on a 4 year journey and they keep amazing us.
Welcome to the rabbit hole that is LILIAC! Take the journey! I have been following this band for several years and they have NEVER disappointed! You're gonna LOVE this ride! ROCK ON AND ROCK HARD!!
Welcome to Liliac. Their originals like Not Afraid-extended version, and Nothing, and covers like Seven Nations Army and The Trooper are well worth a listen. All of their songs are incredible. Rock On and Rock Hard (RORH). Wonderful reaction young lady!
Love this band! Great family too. Saw them in concert last July, and will be seeing them again this July. They are involved in all aspects - father Florin Cristea (Papa Liliac) is manager and can be seen doing everything at the concerts; band members sell the merch (drummer Abigail sold me my t-shirt and CD); won a guitar raffle and met the band after the show. Down to earth, humble and incredible. Future of hard rock! I'm 58 and grew up with Van Halen, KISS, Metallica, etc., but now would follow this group wherever they go. Hope to see them some day selling out huge arenas and being superstars to more fans.
Great band, great people. I've talked to their parents a few times and they're so kind. I'll be seeing Liliac in May and can't wait! If you want to hear Melody's high notes, check out "Not Afraid." ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1o4wfK9zlE0.html
Hi Debbie, This is one of their original songs they wrote. They don't have a record label and they shoot and produce all of their own videos. They do a cover song called Seven Nation Army, that will blow your mind. From one Nightwish fan to another, trust me, you will like it.
Got to see and meet these young musicians. They are phenomenal. Melody's vocals are insane. They've grown. Check out Not Afraid. New album and tour on the way
Great reaction according to Melody the lead singer this song represented there family move from California to Georgia. everything they do originals and tributes are phenomenal.
I knew it was only a matter of time before you got to this one. These guys have stolen my heart and are my favorite band to date. This even being my fav song, I listen to it several times a week. They have lots of great songs. You can go back to some early stuff such as "Chain of Thorns" or "We Are The Children" to see where they started. Or you can jump into their newer stuff, "Dear Father" or the latest revamped version of "Not Afraid" (official music video) [extended version] if you wanna hear how they sound as of recent. They also have a lot of covers/tributes. The covers they perform are top notch. Seriously, they have an unexplainable "luxurious" sound to them that other versions miss. I'm familiar with your "under a musical rock" status so if you decide to check out a cover it would help being familiar with the original. You have shown to do this with other artists you react to so I'm sure it'll be no issue. Heck, I think you watched probably 10 different versions of the "Sound of Silence". The latest cover they put out is an "acoustic" version of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit". My favorite cover they do is Dio's "The Last In Line". But if you want some power and literal punches, then check out their version of White Stripe's "Seven Nation Army". Melody's voice is definitely unique and she's getting better and expanding her sound more every time I see them perform. Sam (lead guitarist) is going to be of legendary status if continues this path. He's already incredible to hear play. My favorite is Abigail (drummer). Her smile is infectious and she just emits a happiness when she plays. Of note, I've seen a couple other corrections so I don't mean to rub it in but the easiest way to say the name is "lilly" as in the flower followed by "ack", "lilly-ack", Liliac. Liliac is Romanian for "bat". You'll get more info/stories as you continue with this rabbit hole. Enjoy! Fang4Life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
Thank you so much for you great reaction to one of my favorite young and up coming bands!!! 😊 Your just at the tip of this tremendous iceberg!!! Please do more reactions of thier music! Dosent matter Wich songs you choose! They are all REALLY, REALLY GOOD! you'll be a fan of them quickly!!!! Bear in mind, they are independent so you can play them without interruption if you want! I look forward to more LILIAC reactions from you!! You'll find out just how great the band is, and just how good this young lady Melody can sing!!! I'm a fan for 5 plus years now! Thanks again! Have a wonderful day ✌️😎✌️!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lily-Ak is how it’s pronounced and it’s ok ♥️This is a beautiful song! This band is so AWESOME! I’ve been watching them grow up and it’s been so fun!! Can you do Liliac- Master of Puppets w/Aidan Fisher or Nothing by them. You have hit on something special, her voice is so heavy and it’s awesome!
Great reaction, so glad you discovered Liliac, their cover songs are so good, and their originals are phenomenal, as a new subscriber I hope to follow with down the Liliac rabbit hole, you will become a fan I'm sure of it
For the record, parents are from Romania, met in the U.S. and got married. They lived in California for some time but now reside in Georgia. Enjoy! Fang4life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
Lilly-Ack? If you get to see their early stuff, on the Pier, the reactions of the holidaymakers, you'd love it. AGT where they managed to escape Simons clutches and stay independant. This family seem to have so much fun, it's contagious. That dress and the 5:08 Titanic moment!
Have I heard of Liliac before? I've been following them since about 2018. And I recently bought all their albums. And they're about the release their 2nd LP. (They've got a 13 song LP, a 7 song EP, and 3 cover albums, so far.)
Yes they're taking music next level for young new bands to have to measure up to. They're incredible. And Melody wasn't even singing to her fullest power in this one. She was actually taking it more soft and easy. I hope you do more reactions to them. Try their tribute video for Heaven and Hell. Welcome to being a Liliac "fang". Btw, your eyes are stunning. 😊🙏
Liliac pronounced lil ee ack is a family band of siblings all can play multiple instruments and do so very well indeed . This song is their only rock ballad to date . They've written around 2 dozen original songs and they have many tribute covers of all the headline bands, some of these are better than the originals . Check out Whitestripes SEVEN NATION ARMY which is definitely better than the original . Melody's voice has been compared to all the raspy female singers you'd care to mention but she is unique and in the future singers will be compared to her . Thank you for a great reaction keep them coming FANG4LIFE RORH
I take issue with your characterization of their covers being better than any originals. Simply, due to the act of creation. This is the most important part of a song as it wouldn't exist without it. This is why, in my opinion, there can be excellent covers eg. Jeff Buckley on Hallelujah. But to compare Buckley to Leonard Cohen's genius is ridiculous. One of the top "RU-vid" bands of all-time is Boyce Avenue. Their covers are consistently excellent. But they have never succeeded with original music. They just haven't had anything interesting to say musically or lyrically. To this point, I would say the same for Liliac.
@@karljaspers9091the song can still be better with some covers then the original. It has happened with more artists and songs. To name one example Heart Alone is better then the original. So seven nation army is also better with Liliac
@@karljaspers9091 "They just haven't had anything interesting to say musically or lyrically. To this point, I would say the same for Liliac." This statement alone, simply disqualifies you to have an opinion on Liliac, you clearly don't know shit about music..
Don't worry. You aren't the first and you won't be the last to get the name wrong. 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻 A great rabbit hole. You should do some of their earlier covers as well 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Hey miss Debbie, thank you for such an honest response to liliac sail away. If you want to continue your liliac experience, I suggest an original track, Nothing. My favorite. A side note, with the most sincere respect and admiration, your eyes are totally mesmerizing.
I'm not going to correct you on the name as other Liliac Fangs have done it for me. Liliac are an Independent band of siblings that do Originals and Covers at a very high level. They are currently aged 15-24, Sam (Lead Guitar) the oldest having just turned 24. Their parents are Romanian immigrants, kids all born in USA, used to live in California, now call Georgia home.
Hello. Just caught you. Welcome to the World of Lil-e-ac! No, not the flower, the bat. Lol Liliac is the Romanian word for bat. They are are the children of Romanian born parents that both emigrated to the US as children. Met in High school, married, and gave birth to a Metal Band. This is 18 year old MeloDia. Very young as female singers go. Her main inspiration is DIO. Her voice is continuing to evolve. As for the dress. If I remember correctly, they found it at a second hand shop in LA. MeloDia and Abigail said it looked gross. Momma Liliac worked her magic and made it beautiful again. I love stories. They are fully independent. We, the Fangs, support them for now. Just imagine the crazy California cost of doing this on their own. Loved the reaction. Love your accent. Lol hopefully there will be more Liliac in your future. Till next time. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🤘 🦇
Musically, visually and vocally perfection! New sub please continue reacting to my favorite band. You have a lot of great suggestions in the comments but anything you choose will be fire. Thanks for the fantastic reaction and stay safe and well. Fang4Life!!
Never have I seen a reaction use "Sail Away" as the first Liliac song. Know this was their one and only ballad - they usually rock out. Pick your favorite Dio or Metallica song, and they probably covered it. For originals, "Mars" live in Cumming, GA or "Vertigo" live. Official videos, try Mystery or Dear Father... so many more. RORH.
Good point, yes this is currently their only ballad. And a great one it is. There is claim that a song on the upcoming "Madness" album is going to be similar or "Sail Away-esque" what ever that means. Either way, look'n forward to it. Enjoy! Fang4Life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
My thoughts were ..... sometimes the Bonnie Tyler raspy voice. Great to see a whole family doing their music together. As far as I know (could be wrong) they began their career as a band who played covers and little by little they are writing their own music. And Debbie ..... needless to say, great reaction. Love to see you growing (and enjoying) in the music genres.
Li - Li - Ac.. Great to see you finaly finding these amazing siblings.. I suggested them a few days ago on another video, but somehow my comment and list of suggested songs disapeared after I put links to the songs in the comment.. Never mind that, happy that one of your patreons requested them. You will not be disapointed by anything they do.. Floor Jansen is our undisputed queen, and Melody Cristea is certainly our undisputed princess !
Liliac (Lil-ee-ac) Romanian for bat. Their parents are from Romania. No, her voice is not low like Diana Ankudinova, but it is deeper than you normally associate with a girl that age. She has that voice that naturally lends itself to rock music. They do great originals like this but do killer covers also. "Crazy Train" was the first video I saw of them. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RYheheoxYhk.html.. This is their first RU-vid video with all siblings. "Wild Thing". ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aqcmbDFrlqc.html. By the way, Paulina Villarreal (Pau) of The Warning does wear a type of shorts under her skits.
Debbie,the most beautiful hair and most beautiful eyes on YT!…Debbie,listening to the singer from Liliac and her hoarse voice,the other singer you were thinking of,isn’t it Bonnie Tyler??🤔….Kisses from France.😘👍🕊️
Check out one of their live originals. Mars live in cumming, GA 2019 or Vertigo live in woodstock, GA 2021. Official music videos of the original songs Nothing, Dear Father, or We are the Children. Thank you for the reaction video!
@The Question Queens: It's interesting. I actually compare her to some older singers, like Janis Joplin. For me, I first heard their cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper." While I don't listen to Liliac all that much, I'm always reminded of an '80s Big Hair ballad, similar to something from Damn Yankees or Night Ranger, Journey or Boston. That's where I see songs like Sail Away fall into. As it stands, Debbie, I still will recommend Bloodywood to you. From New Delhi, India, Bloodywood is a fusion of Linkin Park, Electronica, and Rap/Hip hop. I am gonna keep recommending these guys because a few years ago, they saved my life when nothing else would, or did. If not for Bloodywood, I wouldn't be here today. For your first reaction from Bloodywood, I recommend Jee Veerey (Hindi for "Brave One") or Aaj (Hindi for "today"). In either case, Bloodywood sings about social issues, and interestingly enough, after you see Aaj, you could then do a reaction to a lady bagpiper named Archy, known as "The Snake Charmer," who does a beautiful rendition of an Irish pipes song called "Toss the Feathers," which is a song of celebration.
I think eventually they will branch outside of USA, they already played in India and did a interview in Romania. I'd love for them to get into the scene in Sweden and Germany. I've seen many Swedes wanting them to go there.
Just unbelievable how people can't look at the name Liliac and see it letter per letter and pronounce the name correctly. I'm totally stumped how difficult that is for people!! Notice the hint of sarcasm.......😂
Liliad (Lil E ak),,, it means Bat in Romanian where their parents are from, their father grew up in Transylvania close to Dracula's Castle, they were born here in the USA, brothers and ssisters
When they first started the singer played bass guitar and the bass player on this song played guitar along with his older brother. They decided to make the switch to him playing bass guitar so his sister could focus on singing. That said, PLEASE react to their cover of Iron Maiden song, "The Trooper". Here's the LINK: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-OzyHTO5GnWM.html
Their covers are great, but the originals are the true sounds that is Liliac. "Nothing" is a great show of her power and it's a great song. "Not Afraid" extended version shows her ridiculous range.
so when you say what more can she do with her voice....well youve got whistle screams in not afraid (extended version)...grit and sass in hate myself for loving you......operatic tones in dear father....or in your face rock like the song nothing....of course just my opinion....enjoy the journey even if you go way back to wild thing or just the three oldest as the cristeas
The name sounds terrible because you got it wrong. It is not Lilac. It's Lili-ac. There is an "i" after the second "L". Liliac means "bat" in Romanian. Both parents were born in Romania. The father was born in or near Transylvanian.
You spent all that time trying to pronounce the name of a flower... when it's not even pronounced that way because it has two of the letter "I", pronounced Lily-ak.
They are in the Rock business so isn't that what they are supposed to be in the 1st place? I really don't understand the whole I don't like them because they are Rock stars thing. Anyway as far as Rock stars go Liliac is more down to earth and humble than your average breed.
@@jonathanwatson5818 Liliac pretends to be rock stars. Most people focus on their music first and then if they are original and talented they become rock stars. Liliac has struck the pose of rockstars since playing on the Santa Monica pier until today. Too much image not enough artistry.
