The good thing about that is you can compare their skill from Queen of Hearts to Master and Symphony,and now this. They've gone from exceptionally good to truly great and world class. Take a bow young men for your talent and all the effort that took. Bravo!

    Tonight I was walking through a park here in Michigan at 3:00 A.M. on a hot and Misty August night. I like to walk in silence...and sometimes a song will pop into my head. Tonight...Dio's "Last In Line" flowed into my mind. So, when I got home...I was going to listen to Dio's version on TH-cam. But instead, I discovered a kick ass fuckin' band called "Liliac"!!!
    These young Superstars blew my head off!!!
    I'm 56...and I've been playing distorted jazz/ rock electric guitar player since I was 11.
    The singer is EPIC...
    The drummer is INTENSE...
    The guitar player is OUTSTANDING...

As for Ethan bass/Justin keys, for awhile I've felt a little bad for them, because Melody, Sam and Abigail cast such massive shadows; it would be rough to be growing underneath them. But lately they are both starting to shine through more; this Last in Line, and the Master of Puppets we can hear how they both are indeed coming into their own and may well wind up at Geezer Butler/Jon Lord levels if they keep up the work.

    I have seen many covers of this song. This is not a simple cover. It is a masterpiece. They rose higher than the mountains and were able to touch the soul of RJD. The big difference is that all the passion was overturned on stage just as DIO did and Melody Cristea sang it from the heart outwards. It was very exciting. I'm touched. I congratulate you!

    Ok. Nice slow breathing so I don't hyperventilate. That was the Best. Bloody. Dio. Cover. EVER!!! When they cover the master (bows in reverence) it's always something special, a labor of true love. But if you watch Rainbow, then Holy Diver, then this (go do that in order, straightaways) the progression of of skill is just Earth shattering. As good as Melody is on Dio (some are as good, but none better), she Abby and Sam have gone from fantastic to truly a class of their own. Ethan and Justin, what you've accomplished the last 2 years is mind blowing. Exponential progress. And lest I forget, maybe the best video you've ever made. That praise goes to Papa, and Sam for exceptional editing. Also a shout out to Mama and Papa for raising respectful children to be aware of those that came before them. Mr Dio's family and the man himself should be moved by this tribute. Bless the entire Cristea family!

      Rock (and Metal) never died. It just went to TH-cam. No seriously...when MTV decided in 1994 that no one wanted to listen to rock anymore and just pumped Hip Hop and Grunge into everybody's ears it made it feel like rock was dead. But it wasn't. It just went to Europe and Florida (death metal scene). And then MySpace came around in the early 2000s and it allowed bands to post their music within the embedded music player, but then TH-cam popped up a few years later and the rest is history. I hear what you're saying, but everytime I hear "[So and so] is keeping rock alive." I just have to think/say that it never died, people just didn't know where to look for a while there in the 90s.

      Yes, it is great. The problem though is that we as an older generation appreciate their music - but they need to appeal to the younger generation as well if they want to live from it. My kids listen to Maneskin on TikTok (The Italian Rockband, same age group, 20-22 years old), but I only see old people in Liliac's concerts - If I were the manager, I would point this out :-)
