Great reaction, Lee. Holy Diver is actually an original by Ronnie James Dio and his band Dio from 1983, so the description of 80s metal cover was spot on! Kill Switch Engage did a cover too. You should be able to find Dio’s original on YT...ua-cam.com/video/2lvs2FzF64o/v-deo.html This was the video that turned me on to Liliac. “Ooooo” meter was on overdrive!
As others pointed out about this being a Dio cover, now your going to have to listen to his version, to actually see just how much justice Liliac actually did here. 😁
Liliac kills this one as well - I love the original, and it is obviously a fantastic and meaningful song written by Dio. But let's be honest, what the 80's were missing in rock or metal were female lead singers and female drummers......Melody's attitude, voice and stage presence is absolute class. I feel like I am in a cinema enjoying both, music and performance. If Liliac would have played in the 80's, they would have filled a stadium. If I had been a teenager, their posters would have covered my room :-)
Great reaction Lee, only they are covering Ronnie James Dio not Killswitch. No matter. I’m like you. Their cover is better than Killswitch . Liliac stays true to the original in all their covers but adding just a little twist of Liliac. Enjoy the cd.
Another great reaction Lee, Ronnie James Dio band is the original for this song. Killswitch just did a cover like Liliac. Another Reactor pitted their version against Killswitch version and Liliac total destroyed them. Posters or commentor were the voter..lol!!!!Cheers!!!
Glad you got your CD! Woo hoo! They cover everything better! So slick! Thank you for reacting! Melody loves her DIO. He is her inspiration! RORH 😀🤘🦇❤️💥
@@infin8reactions no worries. Your reactions are always great. Liliac did such a great cover if this and Rainbow in the Dark both by Dio that Ronnie James Dio's widow posted them on RJD's FB page and also invited them to play at a Dio Charity event.
@@infin8reactions But my interpretation is that you already knew it was a Dio song and just wanted to give everyone a laugh. Let's go with "my" interpretation, shall we? 😉😉😉😉
I could never figure out most of Dio's lyrics but I loved the music and vocals, so I listened...on my Sony Walkman after I copied the album onto a cassette tape. Enjoy the QOH CD!
@@joshuaburba1048 lol I know, I saw all the comment corrections and wanted to get in on the fun 😋😋😋😋 telling Lee what’s what is sorta a hobby of mine 🤭🤭
Ronny James duo is the original writer and performer of holly diver , kill switch did their cover version, Liliac is closer to the original sound of Ronny James duo, the song is based on the idea of a Christ type figure, only on another world type, descending for sake of man kind. Or that is at least one theory I have read.
I see everyone has metchoned that this is a Dio song. I've heard both live and studio Dio on this and they play this close to the studio version of Dio. Especially the triplet runs of Abby. Dio is Melodys inspiration. This is a great cover. Sam's classy solo etc. I Don't like the kilswitch,pardon the spelling, version much. Nice reaction though. Stay safe. RORH 🤘🦇
This is a Dio song. She love Ronnie James Dio.. Dio is so great!! 80’s metal master! Kill Switch does ok, I like it but they are not the original. Check out Dio Holy Diver😀😀
Nobody covers Dio like Melody and Liliac. Dio is her inspiration and idol. Even her pet Parrot is named Dio.
Thank you. Love the enthusiasm and your comments.

Do your research first, this is a Dio song.
Liliac version of Holy Diver is just as good as Dio version!!!
As others pointed out about this being a Dio cover, now your going to have to listen to his version, to actually see just how much justice Liliac actually did here. 😁
Killswitch version is also a cover lilliacs version is more like dios original . Keep them coming they are all good .
Another fangtastic reaction Lee ! Glad you got your cd . I'm doing a test to see if I can wear mine out in my car ! 😂
Great cover great band
Awesome job with this one Lee. I thought they did an outstanding job 🤘Every one is on their A game here
It is an awesome cover. Great tribute with the use of the church. Far better condition than than the one in the original Dio video. 😂😂😂😂😂
These Kids are AWESOME 😎
Mama Liliac does the packaging and mail outs
Id love to see them in concert i love there music
Yeah definitely!! Bet they're awesome live 😌
These kids are freaking amazing!
My favorite cover by them... what can be said about Liliac that hasn't already been said...
🤘RORH!🤘
Mama Liliac must be great at Christmas present wrapping!!!
It's a Dio cover that both bands did. Lilliac kept it more like Ronnie done it.
It was Ronnie James Dio’s way of dealing with his Catholic upbringing.
I got 3 CD's and 3 T-shirt's from them last week. I love this band.
Awesome mate!!! I love them too!
Melody voice is awesome she totally rocks fantastic band
Couldn't agree more 😁

LOL , get ready LEE , your fixin to get schooled , great reaction as always. \m/
Cest la vie 😂😂😂 cheers mate 😁👌
Great reaction love me some Liliac. I describe this band as Barbwire and Roses 🌹

Totally obliterated KSE!!
I definitely voted for Liliac on that one.
Dio is the original not Killswitch Engage. You should give Dio a listen as well, Melody is a huge fan of Dio.
Glad you got your CD! Woo hoo! They cover everything better! So slick! Thank you for reacting! Melody loves her DIO. He is her inspiration! RORH 😀🤘🦇❤️💥
Can't wait to listen to it, I need to react to the rest of it first RORH 😁😁😁
@@infin8reactions RORH 😀🤘🎶💥
Killswitch was a cover. This was originally done by Dio.
AHH ok I don't know who Dio is, it said killswitch engage on my first search, my bad

Finally someone who's acknowledged that I bought the cd 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@infin8reactions LOL! Mine was put in the cars Cd player and hasn't been removed yet, and I got it before it was released publicly!
Those were the days Douglas, copying cassettes and putting them in the Walkman. Heck yea man!
Killswitch Holly diver is also a cover, the original is from James Dio
BTW, Dio's widow shouted out and posted a link on the RJD FB page for this cover.
Lol, KillSwitch is a cover. Need to go back to the original by the great Dio🤘. Still a great reaction👍
Hey Lee!! 😀 Did you know that Killswitch is a cover?!?! 🎈😀
Holy Moly Lee
He does now Lizzie. Poor guy, sometimes we just don't know. I felt bad for him as he reacted the whole time thinking it was a Killswitch song.
@@joshuaburba1048 lol I know, I saw all the comment corrections and wanted to get in on the fun 😋😋😋😋 telling Lee what’s what is sorta a hobby of mine 🤭🤭
@@lizziev4510 Yes indeed, someone's gotta keep him on track. 🙂
PS: The lyrics are about Dio's catholic upbringing and the lack of love from his educators in church....if I remember correctly (Please correct me).
8:01 - ITS ABOUT SIMON!!!!!! 😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀💞💞💞💞
Do a reaction to liliac covering master of puppets!
I will on Tuesday 🙂
Also try there cover of rainbow in the dark not the American idol one they have one thats offical cover
I think that will be my next reaction 😊
You should react to the original 1983 version by Dio as a comparison of the three. :- )
I'll put it on the list mate, thanks 😁
Ronny James duo is the original writer and performer of holly diver , kill switch did their cover version, Liliac is closer to the original sound of Ronny James duo, the song is based on the idea of a Christ type figure, only on another world type, descending for sake of man kind.

Between Liliac and The Warning... the original Rock and Roll sound will be saved.

DIO did the original!
I know! ..... Now ,
Google let me down on the search
Killswitch isn't original Ronnie James Dio is originL artist
This is a Dio song. She love Ronnie James Dio.. Dio is so great!! 80’s metal master! Kill Switch does ok, I like it but they are not the original. Check out Dio Holy Diver😀😀
Great reaction but it is a Dio cover. Kill Switch put their own spin on it but not my favorite.
Cheers mate, Google failed me it seems ☹️
