I'm 74. I discovered these kids about 5 years ago now. I'd like to say that Sam just keeps getting better every year. But if you go back to their older videos you will see he's always been great. In my opinion, he's one of the greatest rock guitarists on the planet today. I’ve grown up with all the greats, this kid built his skills on that foundation and has progressed to another level. I seen them live 3 times now and you can see on their many live videos he's just as good live. Congrats on finally discovering Liliac. You're in for a great treat. Papa Liliac and Sam make some of the greatest rock videos anywhere at anytime. And they do it on a shoestring budget. Thanks for a great interview. Hopefully, you will get Melody to interview next.
Looking forward to this. Our Queen Melody is always in the spotlight so it will be awesome when another fellow Guitarist interviews Sam.. He deserves the recognition.
@@ChumRogueForceOne I don't think metal has been rough at all. Metal has been absolutely incredible. Trivium, Avenged Sevenfold, Slaughter To Prevail, Parkway Drive, Lorna Shore, Avatar , the list is endless. Metal is amazing right now.
@TheMetalMixtape Avenged Sevenfold may be the only headliner though. But in all honesty, I live out in the sticks. Only rock station comes in staticy and is more classic rock.
I caught that too, when watching Carol of the Bells. The lead guitar player from my husband’s college band also plays violin and owns a specific violin he used just for rock/metal songs.
A great interview , with such a talented and personable young man, no airs or graces , no self inflated ego , just a quietly spoken humble guy who knows who he is and is grateful for his achievements , you should do this same style of interview with each member of the band and also Papa Liliac, it would make for a terrific series, I love their interviews done as a family but the two youngest are usually a bit shy and are swamped by their elder siblings , it would be good to hear what their goals and aspirations are . FANG4LIFE RORH
I'm happy you enjoyed! I will try later this year to interview someone else from the band. I'm super happy and honored I was able to talk to Sam. He's a super humble and talented kid.
Hey DJ Ramo, I'm late commenting, been a bit ill. But I watched it the same day you did it, but had to hit the pillows afterward. I loved it, loved the questions, loved the comradery, and the way you two were on the same wave length. Thanks to you and to Sam for this great video!! RORH
I used to work security for big bands when they came here to Baltimore, never got over excited where i had to have The band's autograph or the records or the c. D's. But from the time that I've heard liliac play 7 years ago. I'm a fanatic. Can't get enough of them everyday I look forward to finding something new or seeing something new about the band.. Can't wait to watch The Interview. And since you've been doing the Reaction videos, i've noticed your numbers have been going up good for you
That's fucking rad! I bet you have seen some amazing concerts in your day! I still want to see Metallica before they retire. Them and Foo Fighters. Liliac is still young so I know I will see them eventually. I truly appreciate all your support from the bottom of my heart. I'm a full time dad and when I have free days I will spend all weekend making videos. I can't wait for you to see the interview! It was kick ass!
Awesome to see Sam get the attention he deserves. He's a standout in Liliac for sure! I''m down here in Brasil but I'll be back home in Central Point in a couple of months.
Oh wow! I just saw on Liliac’s Facebook page, they’re coming to Eugene on August 2nd and Seattle on August 3rd! I’m up here in Port Orchard, about an hour away from Seattle by ferry.
Such a great interview! Very happy you started reacting to Liliac! Love your reactions! They are such great young adults. I have had the pleasure of meeting them twice at their concerts and they are so nice and very personable as you can see by talking to Sam. They really do care about their fans!
I guess they are playing in Eugene in early August. Check it out or book at one of your Festivals near that time. TKO booking- Papa can reach out to you but I'm sure you are well aware. Yep- Guitars under the Stars. Do it! They are so cool and will treat you like Family.
This was a wonderful interview! Sam is so humble and down to earth and you asked really good questions so we could learn more about his inspirations and other interests outside of music. On a scale of 1 - 10 I’m giving you a 50 for excellent interview skills! ❤️🦇
DJ Ramo, you da man! Very unique interview, not the usual fluff questions. Great job! It is nice to see Sam open up and let us learn more about himself. Thank you for interviewing Sam and helping others to appreciate his talent and good nature. LILIAC is the real deal. They are genuine through and through. Way to go Omar! All the best to you and LILIAC!!! Rock On and Rock Hard
Thank you Russell! You're the man! Your comment means alot from the bottom of my heart. I do my best to ask real life questions that musicians deal with. Sam is a great, honest and humble musician. I'm honored and humbled he gave me some time out of his day to talk. Love live Liliac! 💕
@TheMetalMixtape honestly, good question. But politically he doesn't conform to societal norms as a patriot. He used to be a gangster Rapper and gang member. Now he's a family man and avid Trump supporter. You tube and apple are the only ones that haven't kicked him off yet, but youtube is forcing him to censor his lyrics.
For god's sake, turn down the volume on this intro. You have this as an auto-loading video on your channel page, and it's loud AF. No one needs that nonsense.

He most certainly does!!!! They All do! 👍 Mama and Papa as well! And the cello player, also Alexa!
I adore Sam! So intelligent, so creative such a young virtuoso, Sam shreds! 💜🔥🔥🔥
Agreed! Shred master!
Awesome interview ! They have brought back a joy of music to me that I had lost .
I'm super happy you enjoyed it ❤
Same here 🤘🏼
Yes. It's been a rough road for metal the past decade. Looks like we have someone picking up the torch

Refreshing to see a young band kicking ass like Liliac is! #Respect
Love this family. He is such a gentleman. If Carol of the Bells is a hint I would have to say he is learning the violin.
That's exactly what i thought lol It has to be Violin! Thanks for watching the interview!
I caught that too, when watching Carol of the Bells. The lead guitar player from my husband’s college band also plays violin and owns a specific violin he used just for rock/metal songs.

Yes! It would be especially interesting to listen to interview with Abigail and get to know about her new life and plans.
I'm happy you enjoyed! I will try later this year to interview someone else from the band.

Thank you friend!!!!! PEACE LOVE AND ROCK! FANG 4 LIFE!
Awesome interview. Really enjoyed that.
The thing that I noticed about Sam's playing even at a young age is his tone, perfect tone !
His tone is fire! I agree!
Wonderful interview!
Great interview!!
Oh wow! I just saw on Liliac’s Facebook page, they’re coming to Eugene on August 2nd and Seattle on August 3rd! I’m up here in Port Orchard, about an hour away from Seattle by ferry.
That's awesome! I'm not missing it , no way no how!
Only 2 1/2 hours from where I live.

Thank you brother!
Hat's off, dude. Great interview!!!
Thank you so much Havoc!!! 💓

My friend owns Guitars Under the Stars 🌟, I got let in on the secret 🙂, I will have to check it out 🧡
Ask him about POLY-RHYTHMIC RIFF'S I think I've heard him doing something like that.. I'm curious. 🤟🎶☮️
We did the interview this morning. I promise you, alot of guitar answers coming. I asked about everything 🙂🤩
EXCELLENT interview! I thought of a few questions watching it! Great job!!
Thank you brother! It was an honor talking to Sam!

Thanks everyone for supporting Liliac and The Metal Mixtape!
I haven't got an interview to 1k views in years! Let's share it up! ❤
I love all of you!

@@TheMetalMixtape And he gave you a free guitar lesson!
@@russellreyes184 I WAS EXCITED ABOUT THAT LOL!
Just a couple of Cool Dudes, talking guitars and stuff. Very nice, Dude! Rock on! 🤘😎👍
Thanks scott! One of my favorite interviews this year! Hail liliac!
I hope you get individual interviews with Melody and Abigail as well, and eventually the shy ones Ethan and Justin.
It would be awesome in the future! I hope you enjoyed the interview with Sam 🙂🥰
@@TheMetalMixtape I did. You asked some questions others haven't.
@@TheMetalMixtape As you can see they are very humble and not egotistical.
I have been a journalist for 6 years with over 320 interviews, I know how to have fun lol. @@VW20-bq9in
If your looking at a different genre, Check out Playboy the Beast. He's a Rapper who had been banned from all social media platforms multiple times.
Why was he banned?

Now he's a family man and avid Trump supporter. You tube and apple are the only ones that haven't kicked him off yet, but youtube is forcing him to censor his lyrics.
