That's awesome that you found Liliac. I haven't been excited about an American rock band in years. It's so fun to see them improve with each release and Melody is a straight up rock star with elements of many rock singer legends. The fact that they are a family band makes them all the more special. I grew up on 70's/80's rock so they just make me happy.
Thank You very much for your great reaction. Looks like you like them as I do. Their music is second to none, and all their covers and originals are outstanding.They are an outstanding family to boot...humble, very nice and beautiful people too. Besides being talented in music. Hopefully we will see more of their music videos very soon. Cheers!!
Melodie brings the attitude & sass, to everything they do ! The drummer, Abigail, livin her best life😎P.S. I suggest a Lili.....ac, original. They call their music.....Vamp Metal.
Welcome to liliac ! The best young rock band on the planet ! Their style they call vamp metal check out the trooper , enter sandman, holy diver , master of puppets, or their originals Nothing , sail away , mystery, and much much more oh by the way you pronounce it lilly ac
If you watch cover "The Trooper" the singer is playing bass and Ethen is playing rythm guitar. If you want to see Sam's ability. Look at original song "Mars" live. If you want to see Melody singer "cute". Liliac "Wild Thing"
Liliac is already at the top of the talent chart musically with a lot more to go. So young but so damn good. These kids would already be a household name back in the day. But for now they are one a number of new great young talent bringing great old school music to this generation. And all us baby boomers have come back and are paying attention to music again. Many of us gave up on it, but with kids like this how can we now. Btw, Abigail is a phenomenal drummer. Her fun going personality is what most love about her, but her abilities (though not fully shown her because of the song) is very advanced. "Master of Puppets" show just how great she is. All of them are great musicians including Melody who used to play bass and has said she teaches Ethan many of the bass lines. Ethan used to play guitar and was just coming into his own in "The Trooper" (give it a look one day to see how good the 11 or12 year old was at the time). There's way too many videos to suggest for your next one, but these are a favorite of many and live in concert: "Piece of my Heart" th-cam.com/video/nz-EuUMD338/w-d-xo.html a cover of Janis Joplin. "Mars" th-cam.com/video/CRrqHZNMUko/w-d-xo.html this is an original
@@HistoryBuff Janis was my inspiration when i started to sing with bands locally and I was damn good. BUT despite her being one of my fave female vocalists, Melody is now my favorite only because she has taken Janis and Lzzy and Heart, etc and taken it to a whole new level. Now that I'm in my 60s, I cry with happiness over this band.
Excellent reaction! I discovered Liliac when they opened for Loverboy at a concert I attended in 2019. I was like "these kids are the real deal". Melody is the love child of Ronnie James Dio (her biggest singing influence) and Janis Joplin. She is the best female rock vocalist in the last 30 years. Definitely Mars live in Cumming, GA should be on your queue of songs to react to (Sam's guitar solo will blow your mind). I also really like their originals Nothing, Sail Away, and Chain of Thorns. Looking forward to more of your reactions to this great band.
They do have a lot more to offer ! For originals try Mars Live , Nothing or Dancing in the Dark . If you want to see just how hard they can go on a cover , try Master of Puppets !
Now that you're through the looking glass prepare yourself for a wild journey! I love seeing first reactions to Melodies voice, there really isn't anything else like it, gives me chills. We the "fangs" will fill the comment section with info to help you with your journey through vamp metal and Liliacs journey as they keep oldschool rock alive. Whether it's a cover or one of their originals you can literally pick anything and be amazed, it's all EPIC. New sub here RO&RH🤘🦇🤘🇨🇦
@@HistoryBuff have to ask. Was the watch and comment count a bit more to expectation? We "fangs" are very passionate about this band. And since they do it all themselves, and I mean everything, we do what we can to support them in getting their name out to more people. In the end reactors such as yourself reap some rewards as well. Welcome to the journey and the "Fang club" Keep em coming 🤘🦇🤘🇨🇦
@@dough1793 if I could share pics on here, it would adequately answer your question. The hourly graph is kind of humorous. There were about 50 views/hour. Then, you can see when the band gabe the shout-out. It jumped to 900/ hour! Thanks for the support!
Great reaction this is a family band between the ages 13 and 22 Sam lead guitar 22 Abigail drums 21 Melody lead singer 19 Ethan Bass 14 Justin keyboards 13. Checkout Mars live Cummings Georgia also checkout Sail away there only ballad from Queen of Hearts album.
Liliac is pronounced LIL-EE-ACK. Their master of puppets cover features the keyboard more prominently. Their original, Nothing, I think is their masterpiece but in truth everything they touch turns to gold. Their original, We Are The Children, is also quite epic.
A rabbit hole worth staying in. Great reaction. I just discovered them on TH-cam back on 5-24-2022. And currently in my opinion She is the female metal singing QUEEN. Can't help but love them.
The music video of enter sandman by Metallica went viral and that was when they really started to pop off. They are an amazing band with a lot of amazing songs. Liliac in their Romanian means (vampire) bat. They are decendents of Romanian parents and their dad is the audio engineer and their video editor for all of their music videos
I just caught you while getting trailer lites repaired on reefer. Liked the sound and great reaction. This is more current Liliac. Always gague the ages by Justin on Keys. If you like Metallica, they have 2 of them one younger and the other current. It'll blow your mind! Come on into the rabbit hole with all of the Fangs! The water is fine. Lol The name is pronounced Lil-e-ac. Romanian word for bat. There parents are both Romanian. Looking forward to your next Liliac. You'll get more comments since you unleashed the Fangs! Lol Stay Safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🤘🦇
You have went down a rabbit hole Liliac Vamp Metal is what they call their music. All their original songs are great and they’re independent band they do it all with help from Dad Papa Liliac.
@@HistoryBuff That's how I just discovered your channel, because Liliac linked it and it brought me here. Welcome to the world of Liliac. These kids are way more talented than you even realize yet, especially live. I've watched countless reactors be like, "Well yea anyone can sound good in a studio, but can they pull it off live?" Then that reactor will watch a live one and hardly be able to pick their jaw off the floor. I'm sure others have said this, but it's pronounced Lily-ack. Just think of the flower Lily, and put ack on the end. Thanks for the reaction. If your son wants comments, tell him to do a reaction with you to Liliac, and he won't even be able to read them all. 🙂 You guys take care.
Great reaction!!! Liliac is AWEsome... BTW pronounced Lily-ack, it means "Bat" in Romania where there parents are from... Current ages are Sam on Guitar 22, Abigail on Drums 21, Melody on Vocals 19, Ethan on Bass 14 and Justin on Keys 13... You really can't go wrong with any of their covers or originals, they hit them all out of the park..
She kicked him off the rythem guitar when she discovered Ronnie James Dio at age 15. She said She sat him down and taught him all the baselines to all their songs. That way she could be free to physically Express herself in her singing like Ronnie James Dio. Best move She ever made for both of them. Ethen now is my favorite. He plays lead, rythem, base and mandolin guitars.
You have been fanged. (Fans of Liliac have taken to calling themselves fangs). Amazing talent. Try Crazy Train, Rainbow in the Dark, or The Trooper as cover songs. There are more good ones as well. I recommend Mars live in Georgia, Nothing, and Sail Away are some of their more popular originals to date. Good reaction but you were a little hard on Joan Jett.
@@g8ymw You are correct. Sam said in an interview that they discussed the time Ozzy Osbourne supposedly bit a bat. Sam asked how you said bat in Romanian, and the rest is history.
You should hear Crazy Train , Nothing, Crazy Nights, Mars with Sam's solo , Master of Puppets, Sail Away is their Ballad , Holy Diver! The bands name is pronounced LiL- Le- Ac it means Bats in Romania thats where their parents are from . Melody is lead singer, Sam, Lead Guitar, Abigail is on the drums , Eathan is on bass and rhythm bass, Justin is Keyboard and Piano. Their dad is a music producer, director, manager and their driver ..lol 😆 He also has his own music video too when he was younger .
Luv seeing people’s face when they first hear Melody sing. Welcome to Liliac! Look’n forward to this journey with ya. I’ve said this before, as a “fang”, we may be biased but seriously, everything they’ve done is fantastic! You can’t go wrong with any of it. Enjoy! Fang4Life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
@@HistoryBuff need to start um young wish my kids wanted to learn check out this 4 year old drummer th-cam.com/video/c5djZB90UwA/w-d-xo.html he kills it
Congrats you just got a ton more subs as soon as I share this to all the fangs on fb awesome reaction very straight forward loved it look foreword to more from you on liliac. 2 sisters 3 brothers packed with talent another good one original would be the song Nothing they have alot so prepare yourself we call it the rabbit hole ride with liliac!
Welcome to the Rabbit hole... Shout out from the band on your first reaction... They are such a cool family... Good one!! Great song for your first listen... Nobody covers like Liliac as you will find out... This is recent, go back a few years and checkout their earlier covers, Enter sandman, Paranoid, Crazy train.. Their originals are very cool too... Nothing, Mars live in Cumming Georgia... There are so many to see, so enjoy... Best wishes from France...
@@HistoryBuff welcome to the club bud....its a deep, deep hole if you go back to when they were called the cristaes....and there older stuff, when they were EVEN younger is amazing too, especially the trooper(iron maiden cover)....watching their growth is pretty crazy up to their originals.....have fun, enjoy the ride
You ain't seen nothing yet. Liliac, pronounced, lily-ack, are a family of truly humble and polite young people. This video, and reaction was alot of fun. If you stick with doing more reactions to liliac, you will get to enjoy some amazing talent.
WOW!!! Thanks for the awesome shout out and reacting to the best up and coming rock band, there fantastic aren't they. They did an original during quarantine in there home it is called NOTHING and there is a live original called MARS. You can check out one of those or just pick one I haven't found one that I don't love. But again thank you for reacting to them.
This band does everything in the house from recording their own videos and Sam the guitar player edits the videos and Abigail is the graphic artist in the group does the artwork for the album covers and the merchandise their dad is a music producer records and mixes the band so anything you see from recorded Music to videos it’s a family Affair. They are an independent band They have had offers from labels but have declined they want to remain independent so they have creative freedom
@@HistoryBuff I think the recognition is more valuable to them. They often give a shout out to the reactors. Every thing they do is in this caliber. Simply amazing. And Melody flat took this to a much higher level than the original! Great reaction. Unfortunately you won't recover from this journey.
Wasn't looking for you, but I'm here now. Keep posting good stuff and I'll keep watching. ps I follow Liliac and that's how I stumbled upon your channel.
Been following this band since kids, Check out wild thing, awesome. Watching them hone there skills. They are a future Mega headliner band They do great tribute songs and are building a collection of their own songs. A Fang in a semi
Nice, Liliac has a new fang. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in St. Louis, these kids sound just as good live and the kids are sweet, fame hasnt gotten to them, they are very laidback. The way to say their name is Lily-ac. they do piece of my heart better than Joplin and faith hill, somebody to love by Starship. Their version of crazy train, the trooper and enter sandman is phenominal and you should really check them out. i just cant say enough good about them. I also had the chance to talk with their father at length and i have to say he is pretty cool. If you get the chance to go to 1 of their concerts you will not regret it.
Joan Jett hit a home run with this song. I am a Joan Jett snob. But Lilac not only hit a home run, they knocked it out of the park with the bases loaded and won the game.
Lilly-ack. Bat in Romanian. There is an "i" after the second L as well. And the original he is asking for is just plain "Nothing". It was filmed during lockdown in their former three bedroom tiny apartment when they lived in Downy, CA. Go to their channel. You can find everything you want to know about them on it. This video was filmed in their basement in their new home in Georgia. They have a myriad of original and cover music. Keep heading down the rabbit hole. You will become a Fang. RORH I just have to add that when you said Sam is going to bust that solo I realized you don't know. Sam is an old soul on guitar. Check out Mars live in Cummings, GA.
Yo, thanks for sharing this song, I have listened to a lot of their covers and originals and haven't heard a bad one yet ! Doubtful I ever will.Also please note,They pronounce the band name as (Lilly - Ack ) You probably know that by now but I had to say it. These kids are great and I'm sure they will go far 😎
Check out their beginnings, they first performed as the Cristeas it was just Melody, Sam and Abby. Melody does a Rihanna cover at 11yrs.old that is amazing. Or check out their early days at the Santa Monica pier .
Great reaction to Liliac!!! They have a ton more to offer and you have have only witnessed the tip of the iceberg. You need to get busy discovering Liliac. You won't be disappointed.
Great reaction ! You pegged those attitudes on the money. Pronounced "Lil-lee-ak" the band ages range from twenty one down to eleven years old. Check out Rainbow in the dark cover.
I’ve followed this band when it was just 3 of them. Melody, the singer used to play the bass. Her one brother played rhythm guitar now bass. Listen to “Crazy Train” recorded on Santa Monica pier.
@@HistoryBuff Mars live is also fantastic, although guitar solo at the beginning a bit too long for my taste :-) But Melody out of this world in that song
Loved the reaction and subbed because I like the way your show works. BTW, these talented young people are not Lilac, they are Liliac(Lil-ee-ack), which is a Romanian word that means "bat" according to the group's Romanian father and GOOGLE. Their mother is also Romanian and the two met here in the U.S. You should check out their Instagram and TH-cam to learn more about their history(see what I did there). These kids are amazing talents and I hope they continue well after I am gone. I have yet to hear one of their songs or covers that I don't greatly enjoy and I feel you'll have a similar experience, young fellow...
@@HistoryBuff I have to add that not only did I agree with what you said about Joan Jett's version, I think Joan could take a few pointers from Melody on her vocals. I owned Joan's LP and a 45 of this song before I got it on cassette and eventually a digital copy. I have always been a huge Joan Jett fan and I prefer Liliac's version of this song. I'd honestly buy a CD of Liliac covering a lot of Joan's stuff. I strongly believe that with the examples of what they have already covered, combined with their originals, they have shown a great ability to recapture or possibly reinvent the feel of that era. I have yet to hear a song I don't love from them and I am betting when the younger two get a few more years under their belts, they'll be adding a lot more, as I already see them loving what they do...
I think I like Liliac's covers better than the originals. The drummer goes all out and the singer brings a newness to the songs. The guitarist is exceptional with some well-laid leads. The rhythm section tie the whole thing together. They all are getting better and better each time they do a new song
As for original music by Liliac, Sail Away is about the best, musically, that shows off each member of the bands talent. But, there is NOT a bad song that they cover or original song that they have in their repertoire. I will be attending a concert in the near future. May I suggest the same for you?!?
I hate hate hate this song AND Joan Jett, so I ignored this song for a minute. The only one of theirs by the way that I've done that to. Then today I gave in and boy if Liliac had done this first, I never would have hated it. Thank you Melody and Cristea Fam! I would love to see more Reactions to their originals like Mystery and the audio We Fight, We Fall. You won't regret it. But their covers are phenomenal as well. They're all great kids and I wish more of the youth were like them. Instead of burning cities, rock them instead! ha BTW, I was unaware of your vid on dementia, My parents are going thru that now, so I will be checking it out. Rock on rock hard!!
Thank you for that comment! It's nice to hear after so many were upset for me "dissing" Joan. Was never a fan personally and, for me, she just never achieved that badass image she was obviously going for. We were definitely going to do a live stream of the second half of the dementia video. Be great to have you stop by!
@@HistoryBuff Joan was so overhyped mainly cuz of her looks and how she dressed etc. I was a rock singer and I never liked a lame female singer and to me she was one. LOL Thanks for the invite to the 2nd half of your doc.. I'll be there if I can catch it. RORH
BTW Ethan plays an impressive 5 string bass and used to do a mean rhythm guitar until Melody stopped the bass to concentrate on her vocals. Sam kills me with his EVH style!! He's going to pass many players that came before. Abby slams the skins with the best! She is even better than my friend Athena Lee, Tommy Lee's sister. Boy I hope she doesn't see this. ha
Not sure this has been mentioned but lead Vocalist is an awesome bassist as well on many songs in the begging for quite a while. Doing both roles and doing them well is a great feat.
Yeah, I joined your channel because you did a reaction to my favorite singer, Angelina Jordan. Today while listening to your second reaction, I saw this. Imagine my surprise when I saw you were reacting to my second favorite new group. I discovered them about 3 years ago when I came across a video of them doing "Crazy Train" on the Santa Monica Pier, (they are from California and just recently moved to Georgia) and then I saw their cover of Meatllica's "Enter Sandman" and I was hooked. They now have 2 albums of originals, and a couple of favorites of mine are "Mars" and "Sail Away". Their ages now are 13 (Justin-keyboards) up to 22 (Samuel-lead guitar) Abigail (Abi) 21 on drums, Melody 18 vocals (she started with Bass guitar) and Ethan 14 who started with rhythm guitar and now plays Bass. They have their own Production Company run by their Dad who was a producer before they started getting better known. Liliac (Lil lee ack) is supposed to be Romanian for 'bat'. Their parents were from Romania and met in California while going to college. Now if you just mix in "sina-drums", who is a 22 year old German, female drummer that has been posting on TH-cam since she was 14, and collaborates with new young talent, I'll be happy as a pig in poop. (link to sina-drums collaborations) Oh, she did a cover of Deep Purple's "Burn" at 17, and Ian Paice, the Drummer for Deep Purple did a reaction, and at the end (after a few comments) said, "Who am I kidding. I could never have done that at 17." I love your reactions, keep up the great work. th-cam.com/play/PLflbtPAWh7ior6Sr8eDz1pa0ii8Kn_26s.html
@Gary Rogers: Ever heard of Johanne Astrid and the band "Jo and the Mofos"? Look up the song "Shotgun Sunshine": th-cam.com/video/0e--sgIjAvI/w-d-xo.html
Liliac pronounced lil ee ack 3brothers 2sisters a family band originally from California now based in Georgia Melody the singer has a unique voice and Joan jett although a great singer and a rock icon on her best day is not as good as her .do yourself a favour and check out their original Mars from a gig in Cummings Georgia it will blow your mind. Fang4life Rock on and rock hard. Ps you ain't seen nothing yet .
:grins: Aye, the first time that lass cuts lose is a real surprise :D I saw a vid of them doing Rainbow in the Dark on some talent show and I was hooked from the get go :).
If you want to see and hear the keyboards more, you should watch Rainbow in the Dark, where you can actually see Justin (the youngest member of the group) playing close up at times.
So young and so talented. Melody, the vocalist, reminds me a little of Joan Jett but more of Janis Joplin and especially she reminds me of Dio. The drummer is really good and she's a good contrast to her little sister; while Melody is all attitude and grit, Abigail is smiling and peeking and having a good time. The guitarist is just awesome and he looks like a freakiy rockstar. The two kids are pretty good too already despite being so young. This band has a great future ahead of them.
Liliac is great if you love a good guitar solo you have to check out Mars one of their Originals if you want to hear good drums check out paranoid she does Bill Ward proud
They are an awesome cover band but I love their original music so much better because it shows just how talented they are even more so. here is their new mv of Mystery from their new album th-cam.com/video/AeUaBcD756o/w-d-xo.html
.....and then they go and do "Metallica's - Master of Puppets. hehehehehe Enjoy!!! Drummer and base playerkick it up a notch in this production as well as keyboardist. Melody's idol growing up is/was Ronnie James Dio as Ronnie's wife calls he Melodio. Her stage mannerism and voice inflection reminds yo of the late great artist. Family all play parts including father (producer) share in all productions and music. Ages current are 13-22. They have a great original live called "Mars" and a just released original called "Mystery" Welcome to "Fangs"

That way she could be free to physically Express herself in her singing like Ronnie James Dio. Best move She ever made for both of them. Ethen now is my favorite. He plays lead, rythem, base and mandolin guitars.
You have been fanged. (Fans of Liliac have taken to calling themselves fangs). Amazing talent. Try Crazy Train, Rainbow in the Dark, or The Trooper as cover songs. There are more good ones as well. I recommend Mars live in Georgia, Nothing, and Sail Away are some of their more popular originals to date. Good reaction but you were a little hard on Joan Jett.
LOL....sorry bout that
I believe they have said "Liliac" is Romanian for "bat" which is where the Cristea family come from
@@g8ymw You are correct. Sam said in an interview that they discussed the time Ozzy Osbourne supposedly bit a bat. Sam asked how you said bat in Romanian, and the rest is history.
Great reaction been following them for about 3 years they just keep on getting better RORH 🎸🥁🦇
You should hear Crazy Train , Nothing, Crazy Nights, Mars with Sam's solo , Master of Puppets, Sail Away is their Ballad , Holy Diver! The bands name is pronounced LiL- Le- Ac it means Bats in Romania thats where their parents are from . Melody is lead singer, Sam, Lead Guitar, Abigail is on the drums , Eathan is on bass and rhythm bass, Justin is Keyboard and Piano. Their dad is a music producer, director, manager and their driver ..lol 😆 He also has his own music video too when he was younger .
Great song by Joan Jett and great cover by Liliac. They bring fresh air.
Luv seeing people’s face when they first hear Melody sing. Welcome to Liliac! Look’n forward to this journey with ya. I’ve said this before, as a “fang”, we may be biased but seriously, everything they’ve done is fantastic! You can’t go wrong with any of it. Enjoy!
Fang4Life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
Now I can only imagine what she does with Metallica and Janice joplin!!!
@@HistoryBuff right...?! Even their originals she is monster! And Abby really is living her best life back there on drums.
Subscribed!
Yes she is! I have an Abby myself. She's 5 and has been begging me to break out my drum set. Who knows?
@@HistoryBuff need to start um young wish my kids wanted to learn check out this 4 year old drummer th-cam.com/video/c5djZB90UwA/w-d-xo.html he kills it
Congrats you just got a ton more subs as soon as I share this to all the fangs on fb awesome reaction very straight forward loved it look foreword to more from you on liliac. 2 sisters 3 brothers packed with talent another good one original would be the song Nothing they have alot so prepare yourself we call it the rabbit hole ride with liliac!
THANKS FOR SHARING! Maybe the "kids" will stop by! That would be very exciting!
@@HistoryBuff just ask them man they are really nice and their dads is their manager
Mam, you hit the nail on the head. Good reaction
Welcome to the Rabbit hole...
Shout out from the band on your first reaction... They are such a cool family... Good one!! Great song for your first listen... Nobody covers like Liliac as you will find out... This is recent, go back a few years and checkout their earlier covers, Enter sandman, Paranoid, Crazy train.. Their originals are very cool too... Nothing, Mars live in Cumming Georgia... There are so many to see, so enjoy... Best wishes from France...
I think he just got fanged. What do you think folks? Love watching that when it happens.
Yup!
@@HistoryBuff welcome to the club bud....its a deep, deep hole if you go back to when they were called the cristaes....and there older stuff, when they were EVEN younger is amazing too, especially the trooper(iron maiden cover)....watching their growth is pretty crazy up to their originals.....have fun, enjoy the ride
The lead guitarist is extremely talented
You ain't seen nothing yet. Liliac, pronounced, lily-ack, are a family of truly humble and polite young people. This video, and reaction was alot of fun. If you stick with doing more reactions to liliac, you will get to enjoy some amazing talent.
This is the reason I watch all these reaction channels, because sometimes I discover gems like this
You have just seen the best new band out there. Liliac is an amazing group. I am the "Rockin Grandma.
Like from the rockin granny reaction channel!?
WOW!!! Thanks for the awesome shout out and reacting to the best up and coming rock band, there fantastic aren't they. They did an original during quarantine in there home it is called NOTHING and there is a live original called MARS. You can check out one of those or just pick one I haven't found one that I don't love. But again thank you for reacting to them.
And thank YOU for the great recommendation!
This band does everything in the house from recording their own videos and Sam the guitar player edits the videos and Abigail is the graphic artist in the group does the artwork for the album covers and the merchandise their dad is a music producer records and mixes the band so anything you see from recorded Music to videos it’s a family Affair. They are an independent band They have had offers from labels but have declined they want to remain independent so they have creative freedom
I feel really bad there was no copyright claim on my video. They definitely deserve any revenue I get!
@@HistoryBuff I think the recognition is more valuable to them. They often give a shout out to the reactors.
Every thing they do is in this caliber. Simply amazing.
And Melody flat took this to a much higher level than the original!
Great reaction. Unfortunately you won't recover from this journey.
Wasn't looking for you, but I'm here now. Keep posting good stuff and I'll keep watching. ps I follow Liliac and that's how I stumbled upon your channel.
Sounds like a plan
Thank you. It's Lilly-Ack for your info. Ages Sam 22 / Abigail drums 21 / Melody vocals 19 / Ethan bass 14 / Justin Keyboards 12 or 13.
Been following this band since kids, Check out wild thing, awesome.
Watching them hone there skills.
They are a future Mega headliner band
They do great tribute songs and are building a collection of their own songs. A Fang in a semi
Nice, Liliac has a new fang. I had the pleasure of seeing them live in St. Louis, these kids sound just as good live and the kids are sweet, fame hasnt gotten to them, they are very laidback. The way to say their name is Lily-ac. they do piece of my heart better than Joplin and faith hill, somebody to love by Starship. Their version of crazy train, the trooper and enter sandman is phenominal and you should really check them out. i just cant say enough good about them. I also had the chance to talk with their father at length and i have to say he is pretty cool. If you get the chance to go to 1 of their concerts you will not regret it.
Joan Jett hit a home run with this song. I am a Joan Jett snob. But Lilac not only hit a home run, they knocked it out of the park with the bases loaded and won the game.
Sorry about missing the autocorrect. *Liliac
Thats good to hear from a "Joan Jett snob"! I caused quite a stir with what I said. Looks like you get it though
Lilly-ack. Bat in Romanian. There is an "i" after the second L as well. And the original he is asking for is just plain "Nothing". It was filmed during lockdown in their former three bedroom tiny apartment when they lived in Downy, CA. Go to their channel. You can find everything you want to know about them on it. This video was filmed in their basement in their new home in Georgia. They have a myriad of original and cover music. Keep heading down the rabbit hole. You will become a Fang. RORH I just have to add that when you said Sam is going to bust that solo I realized you don't know. Sam is an old soul on guitar. Check out Mars live in Cummings, GA.
Yo, thanks for sharing this song, I have listened to a lot of their covers and originals and haven't heard a bad one yet ! Doubtful I ever will.Also please note,They pronounce the band name as (Lilly - Ack ) You probably know that by now but I had to say it. These kids are great and I'm sure they will go far 😎
Check out their beginnings, they first performed as the Cristeas it was just Melody, Sam and Abby. Melody does a Rihanna cover at 11yrs.old that is amazing. Or check out their early days at the Santa Monica pier .
Great reaction to Liliac!!! They have a ton more to offer and you have have only witnessed the tip of the iceberg. You need to get busy discovering Liliac. You won't be disappointed.
Melody's voice has been described as a cross between Dio and Janis Joplin. btw they did a cover of a piece of my heart.
You should really stay in this rabbit hole and really check it out this band is awesome
Oh I will!! Everyone is requesting Mars so ill be checking that out next
These kids go all out on everything they do🤘❤️🔥🔥
That growl at the end is phenomenal. Definitely the best version of this song.
There's hope for music after all..🔥🔥🔥
They just gave you a shout out on their TH-cam page! Good work!
the drummer is Abigail and yepp that is her always happy,
Definitely check out their original song Mars! the live version. Sam's opening guitar solo is a-fricken-mazing! Song is fantastic!
I have lways loved this song and they nailed it great vocals and drums
So far, my favorite is their version of "Rainbow in the Dark". Followed closely by "The Trooper".
Great reaction...thaks
Thanks again Roxi!!
They do an awesome cover of Ronnie James Dio's classic, Rainbow in the Dark
These kids are amazing so keep checking them out!
Great reaction ! You pegged those attitudes on the money. Pronounced "Lil-lee-ak" the band ages range from twenty one down to eleven years old. Check out Rainbow in the dark cover.
I’ve followed this band when it was just 3 of them. Melody, the singer used to play the bass. Her one brother played rhythm guitar now bass.
Listen to “Crazy Train” recorded on Santa Monica pier.
Great reaction !! Yes, "Nothing" next, and "We are the Children". In terms of covers, my favourites are "Holy Diver" and "Paranoid". Liliac rocks !!
Thanks! Actually, since there are about 200 requests for Mars, ill be doing that next. But "Nothing" had been a big one too.
@@HistoryBuff Mars live is also fantastic, although guitar solo at the beginning a bit too long for my taste :-) But Melody out of this world in that song
Nice :D heard one song once with them awesome to discover them
Liliac now has two albums of their own, all fantastic! Try "Nothing" you will not regret it.
Liliac just gave you a shout out on your reaction to them on there TH-cam channel
Another one!? There was one about 24 hours ago. Quite the Joan Jett hornets nest on there
Nothing or Mystery🙏🤘
abby rockin the joan jett t-shirt
Loved the reaction and subbed because I like the way your show works.
BTW, these talented young people are not Lilac, they are Liliac(Lil-ee-ack), which is a Romanian word that means "bat" according to the group's Romanian father and GOOGLE. Their mother is also Romanian and the two met here in the U.S. You should check out their Instagram and TH-cam to learn more about their history(see what I did there). These kids are amazing talents and I hope they continue well after I am gone. I have yet to hear one of their songs or covers that I don't greatly enjoy and I feel you'll have a similar experience, young fellow...
Thank you so much for the info and the sub!
@@HistoryBuff I have to add that not only did I agree with what you said about Joan Jett's version, I think Joan could take a few pointers from Melody on her vocals. I owned Joan's LP and a 45 of this song before I got it on cassette and eventually a digital copy. I have always been a huge Joan Jett fan and I prefer Liliac's version of this song. I'd honestly buy a CD of Liliac covering a lot of Joan's stuff. I strongly believe that with the examples of what they have already covered, combined with their originals, they have shown a great ability to recapture or possibly reinvent the feel of that era. I have yet to hear a song I don't love from them and I am betting when the younger two get a few more years under their belts, they'll be adding a lot more, as I already see them loving what they do...
LILIAC is history in the making!
If you like this one check out their cover of Rainbow in the dark
They have done Rainbow in The dark and crazy traine, it is must try graetings
Liliac army incoming... Texas division reporting in!
At ease soldier!
I think I like Liliac's covers better than the originals. The drummer goes all out and the singer brings a newness to the songs. The guitarist is exceptional with some well-laid leads. The rhythm section tie the whole thing together. They all are getting better and better each time they do a new song
As for original music by Liliac, Sail Away is about the best, musically, that shows off each member of the bands talent. But, there is NOT a bad song that they cover or original song that they have in their repertoire. I will be attending a concert in the near future. May I suggest the same for you?!?
Yes, you're right, Abby is not only a great drummer, she's adorable.
Yes, try Mars. It shows their concert chops. It is Lil i a c.
I hate hate hate this song AND Joan Jett, so I ignored this song for a minute. The only one of theirs by the way that I've done that to. Then today I gave in and boy if Liliac had done this first, I never would have hated it. Thank you Melody and Cristea Fam! I would love to see more Reactions to their originals like Mystery and the audio We Fight, We Fall. You won't regret it. But their covers are phenomenal as well. They're all great kids and I wish more of the youth were like them. Instead of burning cities, rock them instead! ha
BTW, I was unaware of your vid on dementia, My parents are going thru that now, so I will be checking it out. Rock on rock hard!!
Thank you for that comment! It's nice to hear after so many were upset for me "dissing" Joan. Was never a fan personally and, for me, she just never achieved that badass image she was obviously going for. We were definitely going to do a live stream of the second half of the dementia video. Be great to have you stop by!
@@HistoryBuff Joan was so overhyped mainly cuz of her looks and how she dressed etc. I was a rock singer and I never liked a lame female singer and to me she was one. LOL Thanks for the invite to the 2nd half of your doc.. I'll be there if I can catch it. RORH
BTW Ethan plays an impressive 5 string bass and used to do a mean rhythm guitar until Melody stopped the bass to concentrate on her vocals. Sam kills me with his EVH style!! He's going to pass many players that came before. Abby slams the skins with the best! She is even better than my friend Athena Lee, Tommy Lee's sister. Boy I hope she doesn't see this. ha
Mel Cristea
~Barbed Wire In A Honey Jar~
It has taken me 42 years to find a second Rock Queen, MEL!.
RORH! 🤘🦇
Not sure this has been mentioned but lead Vocalist is an awesome bassist as well on many songs in the begging for quite a while. Doing both roles and doing them well is a great feat.
Check out their version of master of puppets
One of their lighter songs, check out ‘Mars’ live in Cumming GA
Check out their cover of the trooper. Melody played bass/ sang and Ethan was Rhythm guitar. You’ll enjoy it.
They've got a new original coming out real soon called Dear Father.
Yeah, I joined your channel because you did a reaction to my favorite singer, Angelina Jordan. Today while listening to your second reaction, I saw this. Imagine my surprise when I saw you were reacting to my second favorite new group. I discovered them about 3 years ago when I came across a video of them doing "Crazy Train" on the Santa Monica Pier, (they are from California and just recently moved to Georgia) and then I saw their cover of Meatllica's "Enter Sandman" and I was hooked.
They now have 2 albums of originals, and a couple of favorites of mine are "Mars" and "Sail Away". Their ages now are 13 (Justin-keyboards) up to 22 (Samuel-lead guitar) Abigail (Abi) 21 on drums, Melody 18 vocals (she started with Bass guitar) and Ethan 14 who started with rhythm guitar and now plays Bass. They have their own Production Company run by their Dad who was a producer before they started getting better known. Liliac (Lil lee ack) is supposed to be Romanian for 'bat'. Their parents were from Romania and met in California while going to college. Now if you just mix in "sina-drums", who is a 22 year old German, female drummer that has been posting on TH-cam since she was 14, and collaborates with new young talent, I'll be happy as a pig in poop. (link to sina-drums collaborations) Oh, she did a cover of Deep Purple's "Burn" at 17, and Ian Paice, the Drummer for Deep Purple did a reaction, and at the end (after a few comments) said, "Who am I kidding. I could never have done that at 17." I love your reactions, keep up the great work.

Thank you sir for joining me!
@Gary Rogers: Ever heard of Johanne Astrid and the band "Jo and the Mofos"? Look up the song "Shotgun Sunshine": th-cam.com/video/0e--sgIjAvI/w-d-xo.html
You gotta do Mars - live in Cummings GA. tHEIR SKILLS ARE ON FULL DISPLAY
They did a cover of Holy Diver.
Liliac pronounced lil ee ack 3brothers 2sisters a family band originally from California now based in Georgia Melody the singer has a unique voice and Joan jett although a great singer and a rock icon on her best day is not as good as her .do yourself a favour and check out their original Mars from a gig in Cummings Georgia it will blow your mind. Fang4life Rock on and rock hard. Ps you ain't seen nothing yet .
Big fan of Liliac, they rock.
:grins: Aye, the first time that lass cuts lose is a real surprise :D I saw a vid of them doing Rainbow in the Dark on some talent show and I was hooked from the get go :).
Their original song Mars showcases the keyboard and bass
If you want to see and hear the keyboards more, you should watch Rainbow in the Dark, where you can actually see Justin (the youngest member of the group) playing close up at times.
So young and so talented. Melody, the vocalist, reminds me a little of Joan Jett but more of Janis Joplin and especially she reminds me of Dio. The drummer is really good and she's a good contrast to her little sister; while Melody is all attitude and grit, Abigail is smiling and peeking and having a good time. The guitarist is just awesome and he looks like a freakiy rockstar. The two kids are pretty good too already despite being so young. This band has a great future ahead of them.
Liliac is great if you love a good guitar solo you have to check out Mars one of their Originals if you want to hear good drums check out paranoid she does Bill Ward proud
Check out liliac the mars live in concert
They are an awesome cover band but I love their original music so much better because it shows just how talented they are even more so. here is their new mv of Mystery from their new album th-cam.com/video/AeUaBcD756o/w-d-xo.html
Yes really good so good 👂 them
🤘🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🤘 RORH Have a great day
.....and then they go and do "Metallica's - Master of Puppets. hehehehehe Enjoy!!! Drummer and base playerkick it up a notch in this production as well as keyboardist.
Melody's idol growing up is/was Ronnie James Dio as Ronnie's wife calls he Melodio. Her stage mannerism and voice inflection reminds yo of the late great artist. Family all play parts including father (producer) share in all productions and music. Ages current are 13-22.
They have a great original live called "Mars" and a just released original called "Mystery"
Welcome to "Fangs"
Plus Abigail the drummer if you look she's wearing a Joan Jett t-shirt❤
