Oh yeah. Songs and Thongs first reaction to them was one of the best IMO. Gitana Adelle's reaction to Enter Sandman was flat hillarious, and Highly combustable on the same song.. the look on his face when he first hear's.. magic. lol. Metal Mafia was also great. I watched so many reactors after hearing Crazy Train by them for the first time just trying to get my head around what I was hearing and gage whether others were getting the same reaction.. boy howdy!

Her voice is one in a million! 🦇♥️

Hey! I've watched your Band-Maid analysis, glad you like them. Hope to see more of then in your channel, maybe a reaction? Liliac is amazing too, they are the future of rock. Still not dead RORH 🤘🕊️

Great Reaction with your knowledge of music and yes you finally got the Randy Rhoads right. ha I kept yelling it out to ya and I guess you finally heard me. ha j/k Anyway, speaking of Zakk Wylde though, he was at the TOOL concert that had Liliac open and he went backstage to meet them and he talked specially with Sam. It's funny that you discovered Liliac with their LATEST OMV so I don't know if that will ruin your Liliac journey or not since they started out as kids as The Cristeas, then as they got older, changed the name to Liliac. Anyway, diving into their catalog will do you so much justice not to mention, it will be a whole lotta fun. They have been "adopted" by Wendy Dio and Vinny Appice and have made some fans out of some of the best rockers such as Lzzy Hale. Sadly they are having a bit of a hard time really making it into the center of the rock world, like The Warning for instance, since they are Indies and it's just their Mom and Dad who are doing the job of a record org. But these kids are amazing humans, loving God and talented beyond belief. Seeing them LIVE is an experience that even this old rocker found to be shockingly crazy and I can't wait til they come back to my neck of the woods. BTW, I found your Reaction on the Liliac channel. Hint: They love Reactors. Keep peeling the layers back and as Liliac says, *ROCK ON AND ROCK HARD*

I'm so excited for you, THERE IS NO ONE LIKE MELODY, THEY ARE ALL FABULOUS!!!!!!+

Yeah!!!!...LILIAC ROCKS!!!!!!

Thanks for reacting to my favorite band ❤️

Liliac are incredible. Especially, Melody Cristea (Vocalist) and Sam Cristea (Lead guitar/Rhythm guitar) Young as well but experienced for their age (currently 15-23) after busking on the Santa Monica Pier and then completing 3 USA Tours. They have many Originals and Covers. They are 100% Independent.

Liliac is one of those bands you hear once and you're hooked forever!! I got hooked back when they used to play down at the Beach Pier 😃🤘

I had no idea they were new to you! Liliac are the reason I discovered Band-Maid (via the Songs and Thongs reaction channel) and therefore your channel. They are best known for Melody's voice and for the excellent covers of artists such as Dio, Janis Joplin and Iron Maiden, but they do have some very good original songs. My favourite is their live video of Mars, which starts with a solo by Sam which has a Paul Gilbert vibe. The song itself has a lovely atmospheric part which gives me goosebumps like Rainbow's famous live in Germany '76 album. EDIT: They might be sending a few new subscribers your way. They've just mentioned you on their channel!

Great reaction to my favorite band. More Liliac please. - they get better and better! 🤘🦇🤘

Liliac just called you out and linked to you on their page. Btw, this is how they open their shows. You may not know who they are when you get to the show, but you're sure as hell going to know who they are when you leave! RO&RH!

I started following Liliac sometime after finding the Warning. Cool to see them develop and grow. Fav original from them is Mystery. Cover, Holy Diver....then 7 nation army. Now you just have to see Elise Trowe and you'll see the best new music from the north American continent.

Liliac is always very entertaining! Liliac is part of what I like to call the NAFTA of family bands, consisting of The Warning (Monterrey, Mexico), Motion Device/Quarter After Three (Toronto, Canada) and Liliac (US/Georgia), all great and all with different strengths. The word "liliac" means "bat" in Romanian, which is where their parents are from. Randy Rhodes played on Crazy Train for Ozzy Osbourne.

The only thing that is bothering me about Liliac is I like a song. I want to hear it that way live. Not a lot of free styling. Melody has a hell of a voice, but I've seen video of concerts where she is changing the stylisation Of there older songs. The Warning is great about doing live like the original pluss adding the live energy. Got to see them live in Richmond, VA. the night after the opened for Halestorm. And the Pretty Reckless. Great artists and very personable. Like I hear about Liliac.

Guitar riff sounds like Randy Rhoads, this band is freakin Amazing 👍💯❤

i love watching jaws drop to melodys voice range

That opening scream high note was held for 10 seconds, her voice never cracked, was clean, and the pitch never changed. That was impressive. What a way to open a song with that incredible high pitch scream, Such an epic opening to a song. Also the Lead Guitar riff is punchy, and catchy, Sam is a really good guitar player. His sweeps and technical ability. He is very clean in his playing.

Check out their cover of crazy train! She only 16 at the time, he was 19 and it's epic.

🦇🎶🤘😎🤘

she is the most unique vocalist ive ever heard. not all of their music has these hi pitched vocals. their cover of SEVEN NATION ARMY is phenomenal. but please check them out some more, you will not be disappointed and you will likely pick up a lot of SUBS! GREAT REACTION

I'm surprised that it took this long for you to listen to Liliac, but you will not be disappointed! I've been a Fang, as they call their fans, for a while now, having first found their covers of great classics from Metallica, Ozzie, Dio, Joan Jett, Black Sabbath and more, then their originals like "Mars", "Chain of Thorns" and "Dancing in the Dark", all kick ass songs! Dio's drummer nick named Melody(lead singer) as "MeloDio", as she counts Dio as a big inspiration for her vocal style. I was able to see them live this year and yes they are the real deal! I've heard several reactors compare Sam(oldest sibling and lead guitarist) to Randy Rhodes! Abigale on the drums is a force of nature, hard hitting and fun to watch! I am a Fang, Maidiac, and a member of The Warning Army and believe rock music is alive and well and in capable hands!

Melody make her voice to next level..more better for the first time i hear...love Liliac

I heard them when they were getting started...I knew they'd be superstars one day!!😃

I only watch liliac first time reaction videos to see peoples jaws drop when Melody sings

Welcome to the fangly, liliac does great covers, greater originals. Liliac is bat in Romanian , dad is from transylvania, they call their style vampmetal. Try mars live Cummings ga and sailaway, both originals and fantastic. Master of puppets, crazy train, and 7 nations armies great covers. You can't go wrong with anything they do. RoRh

They’re another one of those great modern rock bands, alongside Band-Maid, The Warning, and many others too few people have heard of. OldSkuleNerd describe Melody as the child of Ronnie James Dio and Janis Joplin. She's covered both very well.

I've been following them for a while now and have never been disappointed in their originals or their covers. The singer is Melody; she's the middle child of the five. The guitarist is Sam, the oldest. Abigail is the second and is the happiest drummer this side of Japan. Ethan is the bass guitarist and the fourth child, and Justin is the keyboardist and the youngest. This will be on the quiz later.

@@WavePotter react to a couple more of their songs.. lol. You're own curiosity will turn you into a master on who's who. Of their originals, in order, I'd recommend "Nothing", "Mars", "Sail Away" to give you a feel for style, ability and range. The covers, as @Cristy Rawks has said, are amazing.. They did Crazy Train on the Santa Monica Pier and it's must see. They've covered Dio's Rainbow in the dark, Holy Diver and Last in Line. Their cover of White Stripes 7 Nation Army is nothing less than shoplifting - they took it to a so much better level and owned it. Metallica's Enter Sandman and Master of Puppets are insane good. They've covered Janice Joplin, Joan Jett (hate myself for loving you) and just kill em. Not a cover band, it's a means to an end for getting noticed when you're not on a label. And this is a LIVE band.. haven't been to a concert myself yet as I'm still relatively new to them myself; but, was a near instant convert and own their entire discography.. that took like a week. These kids are a deep drink of fresh water in a desert of stagnant irradiated pools.

Where have you been?! Followed them for a few years now, funny watching them grow up. They have some great covers and original songs. Yes, unique lead vocal style. She was born a star. Some of the lead guitar work on their songs is absolutely too-notch. Great live too.

woohoo 🙌

More Liliac please ! You need to see them live ! Every show is 🔥🔥 !

My son you are way behind with Liliac, you have to go back to the start when they did Crazy Train on the boardwalk in Santa Monica and follow their journey forward, Melody on vocals, Sam lead guitar, Abigail on drums, Ethan on base and Justin, the youngest, on keyboard. They were doing covers and nail everyone, Enter Sandman, Master of Puppets, Holy Diver by Dio and on and on until they got into their originals. Those vocals are Melody's natural voice and it just keeps getting better. Catch up and enjoy the ride!

Not to mention they are fully independent, thier dad Papa Liliac manages and produces them. RORH 🎶🎤🎸🎹🥁💜

They just keep getting better.. You're gonna be a huge fan (fang) in no time!!!

To me this is their best original song so far. For some reason I’m thinking of Steve Perry of Journey when you talked about the vocal gymnastics.

Wonderful reaction. Welcome to Liliac. This song is what they start their concerts with. They have 2 albums and also do covers. My favorite originals are Nothing and Dear Father. My favorite covers are The Trooper by Iron Maiden and Seven Nations Army by White Stripes. They also do a cover of Crazy Train. RORH!

Finally, a family band (other than KANEAIYOYOKA) that kills it! Very nice! This was great!

I've been keeping up with them for several years now. Saw them on "The World's Best", I believe was the name of the show. And I started following their covers, in their early stuff. You gotta go to their channel and check out their "playlist Covers". OMG! They don't know it, but I've adopted them in my heart.💜 I'm so proud of them! Talent beyond words! For real!

They’re like a Transylvanian Partridge Family

Mickey Mayfield is spot on. I love their covers of Holy Diver, Paranoid, and especially Enter Sandman, too. He picked a couple perfect originals for you with Mars live and Sail Away. The Mars vid let's you see what Sam can really do with a guitar, and Sail Away is more of a power ballad that lets you hear some aspects of Mel's voice that you don't get with the heavy metal stuff. She's even more amazing than you think. It also gives Justin a little spotlight that he doesn't usually get. Watch them. You won't be sorry.

You need to check their version of Crazy Train when they were all young and new to the scene!!!

Powerful vocals. The drummer is super hot and all are obviously very talented. 👍💪😇

Yeah, her vocals are a freak of nature. Her overall style leans heavily on Dio,.

Randy Rhoads... but Sam's inspirations are from Paul Gilbert.

Look up "liliac live Nashville " on KZread

Dude, Randy Rhoads plays the solo on Crazy Train, oh my god dude seriously that's like sacrilege to not know that, and you actually get paid for doing this?!! Steven Tyler seriously?! There are so many singers in the euro neoclassical metal scene that are dudes that sing just like her ridiculous ranges I'm not going to sit here and name any of them because obviously you probably wouldn't know who they were anyway.

Also a comparable vocalist, check out Brittany Slayes from Unleash the Archers

Sam Cristea of Liliac has been influenced by many guitarists from Paul Gilbert, Randy Rhoads, Zakk Wylde, Eddie Van Halen, Vivian Campbell, Marty Friedman, Adrian Smith, Brian May, etc.

Dude you got years. To catch up lol

She got rob Hofford of judis priest beat!!! Iv watched her sense she was 13 and her voice has matured great!!!!! Beautifully done lilac!!!

Dude how could you forget Randy Rhodes? Lol! Yeah I've also been following these guys for a few years now, and your reaction is not uncommon when you hear them for the first time. For me it was on their cover of Enter Sandman. I remember thinking "Hey these guys sound good. What are they, kids? Damn..." when they started playing. Then Melody kicked in with the vocals and I was like "OH MY GOD!!!" Been a big fan ever since.

Randy Rhodes = Crazy Train. Liliac covers this song as well.

I think it's safe to say no one will ever cover this song because NO ONE can do what Melodia can do vocally. I said what I said.
