Melody vocals are on another level, i believe she was 17 when this was recorded, she's 19 now and they are all brothers and sisters. The talent in this family is just mind blowing. They are also AMAZING LIVE, me and friends have seen them live 3 times this year and each show was amazing. We traveled hundreds of miles to each show. Our favorite band!!! Also earlier this month they played there 2nd KISS KRUISE.
The 3 big family bands that I like is, #1 Liliac #2 Gretta Van Fleet #3 The Warning. Greeta Van Fleet is signed, not sure about The Warning, but Liliac is Independant, and few bands try that this day an time, so good for them. I have been listning to Liliac for about 2 years and they are so good and are getting better every day. Please do more Liliac.
You have only just begun, amazing covers and two albums of originals leave you at a loss for words and disbelief. Melody's voice is the best there is today.
Great reaction👍Amazing talented famelyband.Nothing was recording in their home under covid.They are a independed band who make their own music and videos.❤
First time visitor to your channel. Glad you enjoyed Liliac. These kids are the real deal, in case you're skeptical. They sound as good or better live than on recordings. Their parents are from Romania, moved to the States in their early teens, later met, married, and had these 5 kids, so all the kids are born and raised in the U.S. Their name Liliac, in Romanian, refers to the flower first, but has a secondary meaning of bat. They're utilizing the fact that their parents are from the Transylvania region of Romania. Here are their current ages: Sam - lead guitar is 22 Abigail - drums is 21 Melody - lead vocalist (and played bass in older videos) is 19 Ethan - bass (used to play rhythm guitar) is 15 Justin - keys is 14 Have a good one sir.
I know a lot of people want to see Liliac and The Warning go on tour together and while I would enjoy that what I really want to see is Liliac go on tour with Halestorm because I want to see the grit and rasp of those 2 powerhouses of Melody and Lzzy together. Plus Melody Cristea and Lzzy Hale already know each other because Lzzy Hale popped into the Live FB Stream of Liliac's Dio Cancer Fund Tribute to exclaim about Melody's vocals and then Melody Cristea interviewed Lzzy Hale later.
Cristea siblings, from Los Angeles Cal. Lead singer - Melody, lead guitar - Samuel, drums - Abigail, Bass - Ethan, Keyboards - Justin. Strap yourself in they are fantastic. ❤️🤘🎸🇦🇺
Thank you so much and I will get your request added to our request book and we will get those up for you soon. I love it when bands use a piano like that I think it’s really cool
This is what I personally see from Melody Cristea in my 25 years of listening to music. She is firstly and foremost uniquely Melody Cristea. She has the grit and the rasp of a Joan Jett/Maria Brink/Lzzy Hale. She can do opera and dances like Floor Jansen, no I don't mean exactly like her nor as good at opera as her due to age and lack of experience obviously. She likes to dress up and be theatrical like Maria Brink/Simone Simons/Sharon Den Adel. She can sing with so much passion and control like Janis Joplin/Amy Lee. She's a bit of a flirt (hey look at me) like Taylor Momsen. She has the power and high range like Lzzy Hale. She can scream like Maria Brink. I'm not saying she is quite on the level of these amazing female singers yet but she has a lot of their traits and she is currently only 19 years old. If you don't agree with my assessment of Melody Cristea, fine whatever, but this is what my eyes and ears tell me.
Thanks for the incredible information and yeah her vocal is definitely different and distinctly hers I don’t think she sounds like anyone else though her sound is her sound and she totally owns it. When she is singing she owns the whole room she really draws you into the song.
As of today believe Melody (singer) is 19. I’d also suggest some other originals, “Mars” live, “Dancing in the Dark” or “Dear farther” to start with. After a taste of their style, “Sail Away” is a ballad, bit of a change up. If you like covers, just pick one, they are all great.
Yes she's 19 now but about 17 here. Justin the keys is 11, Ethan the bass is 13, Abigail the drums is 19 and Sam, the future guitar legend, is 21 in this video.
they filmed this video in their apartment in california before they moved to georgia all the studios were closed becsuse of covid they are independant and do everything in house their dad papa liliac produces and mixes and films their videos and music
Welcome to the phenomenon known as Liliac , when this was recorded in their living room during lockdown Melody the lead singer was 17 and the keyboardist was 12 . They are an independent band all siblings and managed and produced by their father known as papa Liliac . This was an original songfrom their 2nd originals album QUEEN OF THORNS . They also have 2 albums of tribute covers which in some cases are better performed than the original . I noticed a slip where you showed a snippet of their rock ballad SAILAWAY .IT is my favourite Liliac song but should be listened to after you check out some more of Liliac's style which is known as Vamp music , hence their Gothic look . Having said that however react to any thing they've done even performances from when Melody was 11 , its all good you can't go wrong . Fang4life RORH
Thank you for all the information I didn’t know that about them. There isn’t anything dark or negative about their music is there I try to stay away from music like that. I enjoyed this one though.
They are brothers and sisters ages 12 to 21 Melody is the lead singer her favorite artist is Dio and she can sing it to Check out Holy Diver by them. she is 17 or 18. Mars live in cummins Georgia shows you how good they really are. Check out luca Stiganoli do the trooper by Iron Maiden on a three neck guitar all at the same time wont believe it till you see it.
Sam, lead guitar is 22, Aby, drummer is 21, Melodia, lead vocals is 19, Ethan, bass and in earlier videos he will be on rythm guitar is 15 and Justin on keys is 14. They are siblings.
Fang for sometime now, welcome to our family. You seemed to have been wrapped up into the playing ( Aby on drums plays a solo of this song too) you never broke down in your reaction to the song itself that they wrote outside the piano intro. How well was it in your opinion?
they do originals and covers they call their style vampmetal liliac is romanian for bat their dad was born near draculas castle in transyvania and us fans are called fangs because once you hear them your bitten
I Subscribed to him. Other than the 2 minor gaffes, I thought this reactor did a pretty good job, and hey at least his audio was good. I personally hate when the audio echoes in my ear like I'm shouting at myself in a cave, I've had that happen with too many reactors. Hopefully he does more Liliac. I'd suggest Mars (Live in Cumming GA), Chain of Thorns, or Mystery for originals. The Trooper, Holy Diver, Symphony of Destruction for covers.
A couple of friendly suggestions... I wouldn't pause it so much it's causing delays/freezes, if it's for copyright reason you really don't need to with this band since they are completely Independent. I also wouldn't mention The Warning that much in Liliac reactions, there's kind of a rivalry going on between the 2 bands, I personally like (not love, so don't bite me my fellow Fangs) The Warning though. As for Liliac they do have a bit of a Nightwish quality to them but they are uniquely Liliac. Their inspirations are more Dio, Metallica, Iron Maiden,Megadeth, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Joplin, Jett, etc.
and that is what I meant whaen I said immature fans. Its his first reaction to them so he hears what he hears. so if he had said she sounds like or reminds him of Taylor Momsen or Lzzy Hale you'd still say he's being disrespectful? I am betting not. basically every reactor compares one person/band to another from their recent experience.
@@stephenkaley384 it’s not a disrespect. I’m a big Warning fan & for me personally The Warning is the best band. Having said that both bands can coexist and be immensely successful. There is no rivalry, only some immature fans but with time that’ll go away. Cheers to both bands 🤟
Thank you for the information and suggestions but that is something I have no control over. THE WARNING are beyond incredible and they will be mentioned regularly in my reactions even for other bands like I said can’t help that. I have even mentioned them in a few LOVEBITES reactions.
They have a good sound and are talented yea. Melody is a little too much of a overactor for me ;-) , like she's saying.. hey look at me. Takes away from her siblings. I do listen on spotify but cant watch the videos. cool to see where they can go in the future.
Wow, how is she taking away from her siblings? If anything this band spotlight every band member more than I have seen with other bands. She is the lead singer ffs. Of course the spotlight will be on her.
@@mayday8602 This is the second time you commented about those two sibling ...what is your problem....be more respectful or just be quiet. They are not going to change them because YOU say so....LOL!!!!
Dive deep.... you will never get tired of them.
The performance in this one really pulled me in and the vocal was incredible
Melody vocals are on another level, i believe she was 17 when this was recorded, she's 19 now and they are all brothers and sisters. The talent in this family is just mind blowing.

Also earlier this month they played there 2nd KISS KRUISE.
I definitely was not expecting that kind of vocal to come out of such a young lady.
Checkout Mars, The Last in Line, We are the Children, Sail Away, Chain of Thorns, and Rainbow in the Dark. I think you will enjoy all of them.
Thank you for the requests I will get them added to our request book and get them up for you soon.
@@RussellFamilyReactions you'll LOVE " Sail Away " (original) if you like piano introductions

GVF and TW are both with Lava/Republic.

You are just scratching the surface of this very talented family.
This is the first song I heard. I have been a fang ever since.
This band it's my second favored after The Warning...
That’s cool yeah I will always rock THE WARNING they are so incredible and amazing

They are independent and do all their own video, editing and song writing. This video was shot in their livingroom during covid lockdown.
Great reaction you will love Dear Father and Sail Away which also starts with a piano introduction.

The bands dont have a rivalry its the immature fans that do. true fans respect the music and dont care about or compare to another band.
Bit!! Disrespectful to Liliac when he is covering a Liliac tune- Save the Warning crap for their videos please.
