@@shawnv1600 I'm not worked up at all. I'm just happy that the younger generation appreciates good music. I don't think kids playing Guitar Hero appreciate shit besides their high scores. Most of those shit stains probably think that music in that video game is "made up."
You're one of "those" guys, aren't ya? Keep it to yourself, gramps. No need to bring that attitude of the world in here. Music is music whether it's pop, hip-hop, or Swedish death metal, and there's nothing wrong with the people who listen to or play different music. Live in peace knowing that they enjoy expressing themselves through music while there are those out there who don't even enjoy music at all. As for the spirit of our rock and roll father, I know Dio would have agreed when I say that the "young folks" will be playing rock n roll until the world burns out like a smoldering ball of heavy metal.
@@abomidog I Iike all types of music - metal, rock, rap, country - so please don't assume I'm pigeon holed into one genre. I work at a school and hear what kids listen to these days, and most of it is scrap. The mainstream music industry is garbage, and all most kids know is mainstream music. When I see or hear kids play great music like this, I'm happy that there's hope for great music like this to continue.
Only 3 seconds in to her vocals and I can say with confidence she has one of the best voices for metal I have ever heard in my life and I’m a 45 yr old metal aficionado!
Your statement betrays myopic views on music and perhaps art in general. A genre does not intrinsically dictate the potential value of a piece of art, and lines between genres are often blurred and evolve over time. I hope you branch out.
@@aikendrum3228 I've branched out as far as I care to. I like what I like and hate what I hate. Your mileage may differ... One man's art is another man's trash, and vice versa.
@@sedition4267 That's totally fair. You by no means have to appreciate things just because others do, it just strikes me as odd to besmirch something that you likely haven't looked much into beyond the superficial elements associated with their respective genres. It's perfectly resonable to like whatever you like, though. I wanted to say what I said because I used to dislike rap and pop as well, until I started listening to less vapid examples of the genres. But you do you, buddy. Jam on, brother or sister, and have a wonderful day.
I believe even Ronnie would be super honored and proud of this. R.I.P Ronnie knowing that some one is still holding up the torch. 🤘🤘🤘showing the love from Mississippi
This is by far the most talented family band I've ever heard,, the oldest is a guitar virtuoso, look up his other stuff kids amazing, Abigail is a force on the drums,, top 5 female drummers easy,, also look up her other stuff, the two younger boys are getting better and better,, but melody is tremendous,, that voice is just unbelievable,, she grabs me with her vocals, her presence is awsome,, and those eyes ,, wow,, these young people are already great, they will be legendary..
These kids are special. Never have I heard a cover that good of Dio. That girl's voice is one in a million. Please kids, don't you dare stop rockin it like that.
Everyone gives Melody credit for her awesome vocal, and rightly so, but the entire band deserves the same - every member of the band not only has incredible talent, but the chops to pull it together with everyone else. To be honest, I can't decide if being family members helps or hurts in that department, but we definitely ought to thank mom and dad as well, for encouraging and helping to develop the innate talent in each of their children.
I think especially Sam is as much a star Melody. And is a good singer too. I have thought they should do some alternative versions where he sings lead. Like on their rock and roll all nite. Maybe I am wrong but I just think I guys voice works better for that.
They are all amazingly talented. With so many groups out there that seem to use their instruments as props and barely playing them, using autotune, and background noise, these kids play very well and Melody's name is so fitting.
I think being family helps them... Until the guitarist and the drummer start dating each other... Then it's time to think of a new direction. Or move to Alabama..
I clicked on this telling myself not to judge too hard. They’re kids and they’re keeping this style of music alive and that’s what matters. Well screw me and my BS expectations cause you murdered every note of that song. Vocals were fantastic, Drums were firin on all cylinders, Guitars were rippin, Bass was great, but coulda been a tiny bit louder. I’m truly impressed. Well done.
They did absolutely kill this cover - DIO would be proud of this tribute! This is, personally, my favorite DIO song! Holy Diver is great, but...RAINBOW IN THE DARK! Yeeeeeeesssssssss. The drummer standing and banging on the drums was probably my favorite part next to the voice/lyrics...!
Ok, no lie...as a vocalist of twenty plus years myself who lives and breathes metal, I was skeptical even clicking the link. To think, the gold I was about to simply pass on by... Dear Lord, this is metal as fuck! I'm surprised an apparition of Ronnie didn't appear behind the drummer, flashing the horns with the words "Metal Will Never Die" floating above him. Absolutely amazing! Continue to keep up with the amount of work ethics you all are clearly putting into your craft, and you will most certainly find a level of success you never could have even dreamed of achieving. Speaking of "Metal Will Never Die", you all should give that song a try and judging by how you enjoy performing it, maybe track that one in the studio for your next cover? Dio's last recording before his death, and some-freaking-how, while succumbing to cancer and in immense pain, managed to deliver one of his best, most versatile vocal performances of his career. This is such an amazing cover!
"Dad rock"...fuck outta here with that dumb shit. I like metal, not one particular sound that a few bands share who just happen to be lumped in the subgenre. I go from Dio, to Cradle of Filth, to Slipknot, to Metallica, to Children of Bodom, to Gojira, to Judas Priest, to Pantera, to Iron Maiden, to Cannibal Corpse, to Slayer, to Deicide, to the fucking architects of metal themselves: Black Sabbath, without needing someone's approval and their reassurance of if it's "real metal" or not. Take your "djent" and "beatdown hardcore" and shove it directly up your "mallmetal" ass. I mean, seriously...who the fuck uses labels like that when referring to a pioneer like Dio? Fucking goof.
@David Haun Like an hour ago I watched Loudwire "10 Rockers Who Hated Their Own Hit Songs". He said it was too poppy, didn't work on the album, tried to destroy master tape.
Sweet mother .... how old is she? her voice has the timber, rasp and range of someone in her 30's. Her voice is phenomenal. Simply put the shear talent displayed here is amazing, not just her singing.
LILIAC is the best metal band to come along since the 1980s!!! WOW, These kids are just so skilled, so talented (raw and polished), and absolutely professional. Liliac is my favorite NEW band since HALESTORM. This band will go far in the very near future. Watch and see!!!
Hey Everybody, LILIAC IS A CONTESTANT ON CBS' "THE WORLD'S BEST" ! They posted they will be aired on Weds. March 6. They already passed round 1, with 2 perfect 50 out of 50 points possible scores 🥇🥇, and a 43 🥈playing, THE TROOPER , by IRON MAIDEN. --you can only see the full length song version played by them, in their studio video version on youtube, --because if you try to watch The World's Best release, it is only a seriously reduced montage edit version. The 47 World Judges, gave a combined total final score of 91🥇 out of 100. Liliac was the 3rd highest score 🥉 of the whole show that night out of 7 or 8 acts ? And only received a montage. 🥇🥇🥇🥈🥉👀 ? ! ! ?
CBS is not world wide.......just to be honest "the Worlds best" is a bit bigger than that ;) ... Anyway, impressive voice and performance from Lilac i must say :)
The worlds best is awful. Loved the acts. I can’t believe RuPaul signed up for this shit fest. I can see why Drew and Faith did the show their careers have been over for years. I’m sick of seeing James Corden everywhere. Give someone else a chance to host something James. Your late night talk show sucks balls too. I remember trying to get tix to your talk show a few years ago when it was good. Thanks for making it impossible to get seats to have seen you live. What a dick.
"The Horns" are actually not horns at all but an Italian throat blessing. It was a blessing meant to prevent illness and Dio "flipping the horns" was him wishing his fans well.
One of my favorite bands drummer is head of her time and the vocals are that are unmatched by the singers of today she is a goddess by right and electric guitar that brings a master of sound and one of best to play so young he will be worth watching as keyboards and base bring there quality sound that make this a must see band front man Keith Shadows bringing you the best of sound
Same year as me. We heard some kickass music in our day! These kids give me hope for music's future. As great as the Three older kids are, can you imagine how great the Two youngest are going to be?
You guys are EXACTLY what the music world needs. People with actual talent singing without pitch modulation or computerized help and playing their own instruments. Just raw freakin' talent. I've seen DIO live more than 10 times and I am honored to say you all slayed this. Love the vocals with the rasp, I didn't just hear you singing this I felt it (great job). And man way to slay the guitar solo brother. Amazing work all around from me. I've been in or around the music biz for decades and there aren't enough words in the dictionary to say how impressed I am with this performance. Kudos.
Way to go!!!!! If you would have been the first to have came out with this song it would have still been the song it is was and is today! Again, way to go! Ronny would have been proud of you all!!!!!!
@@rodneylee4026 That was not I said at all. Once you get your GED and learn to read and comprehend then maybe you'll get what I said dumbass. Peace out.
@@rodneylee4026 If you listen to the history of rock and roll, pop, or just about any genre of music, a good portion of the songs is a group covering another songwriter's tunes.
I’m father of a 5 year old kid who loves rock, he plays the drums and we practice everyday our rock performances, my 2nd is on my wife’s belly currently, watching this band really makes me think about continuing my legacy and forming a family rock band!
I love her voice. It was made for metal. She can do vocals on the level of Dio, Ozzy and Janis Joplin. That the rest of the family plays the songs above perfect is the coolest. You guys keep rockin!! I'll keep listening and spreading the word!!!
Rainbow in the dark needs to be live. As a tribute song to the masses every two years. Your live performance of this song is spectacular. You are bringing rock back to the masses and we are proud.
OMG!!!! HOLY COW!!!!! ARE THEY FOR REAL????? THESE GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!! They are PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!! Liliac is SENSATIONAL!!!!!!!! Keep rising!!!Keep ROCKING!!!!!!!! Congratulations on BEING THE BEST ROCK FAMILY I have EVER heard!!!!!!!! And I'm 49 years old!!!
We thought when ronnie left this world,all his great ever green numbers from the days black sabbath, rainbow, dio, will remain buried forever as the time gone by... but we were wrong, before ronnie left this world he gave his amazing voice to this young talented lady called melody. Indeed you guys Rock!!! We do look forward to listen many great numbers from your late uncle Ronnie 😊 😊😊 keep rocking Liliac all the best👍true music knows no geographical boundaries rather it unite all the people as a single soul. I am pretty sure your late uncle ronnie must be feeling so so happy and smiling looking down to you all Liliac from up above just hiding somewhere in " RAINBOW IN THE DARK"
So I stumbled on thier cover of holy diver and was absolutely wowed! Now I am just watching video after video and I am amazed at the unbelievable talent that these young bloods have. Keep rocking!
I’m in awe of her skill. Not another singer like her. She can sound just like Ronnie James Dio. Then turn around and sound like a mixture of Ann Wilson of Heart and Lizzy Hale from Halestorm. Literally every note makes your hair stand up and you get goosebumps. The entire band plays all their songs SPOT ON! Incredible band. I love watching them. It’s so much fun watching them enjoy themselves. It’s effortless for them.
I've been a Dio fan for nearly 40 years, and HANDS DOWN, this is EASILY the best Dio cover I've ever heard! The vocals, all the instruments, you guys are spot on. Hell yeah Liliac!!!! 🤘😎🤘
Billy Moedebeck Great cover without a doubt. Let me give you another, it will make the hair on your neck stand up. Check out the cover of Heaven and Hell by Sarah and Motion Device, she will blow you away.
I listen to Liliac every day since I found them here 😍 I'm close to 60 and I started in the early 70's with rock & metal later... Since today I don't like that boring pop stuff and autotune garbage... Liliac are fucking great and they have their own special power 🤘💝🤘 My husband is from Senegal West Africa and he loves all that black music like r&b, soul, HipHopp and and and... Not my thing but it's okay... He is probably the only black guy worldwide who don't dance 😋😎🤣 When we get married almost 15 years ago we MUST dance one song... It was Metallica with Nothing else matters where we only dance in lil circles 🤣🤣🤣😅 Today he still don't like metal very much but I was listening to every single song of Liliac and he LOVES U 2 !!! 🤗😍💝🤘
It brought tears to my eyes when you sang “is it someone that you know!!!!” 😢 your voice is freaking amazing and mature beyond your years. Don’t waste your talent embrace it and nurture it and you will go places 🙏
I would trade my soul for this kind of vocals 🖤 I'm seriously in love with her voice!Many female vocalists try a bit too hard. She doesn't have to do anything 🤩
I have always loved this song because of Dio's voice and this cover is by far the best I have ever seen. The singer has the same ability as RJD to give me goosebumps when she sings and to me, that is something special. And to give the rest of the band the credit they deserve, they nailed this song perfectly. Beautifully done!
Fabulous Awesome Amazing Excellent stage performance!!! 🎸 Rock and Roll kuchie koo!!! I love these kids!!! I'm 59 years old and all I can say is keep on 🎸 rocking!!!
I don't usually comment on many music videos, but I think you might like to hear this, so here it goes.. Ronald Padavona [DIO] was from Cortland NY - Where I grew up.. He used to play in a band with my uncle, and our families are friends.. Ron was always a really cool guy, and I can say for a fact that He Really Would Have Enjoyed This Song! You did a killer job!! \m/ =) \m/ Sam -
Right on there fella...good on you 4 stepping up to the plate.This SUPER AWESOME young band need help to get launched and comments like yours I'm sure they will notice. Did you know they also recently received a very supportive message from Dan Padavona (Ronnie' s son)?? Dan was verrrry impressed.
@@bensabiston470 Thanks, I agree, and.. It is so cool to hear that Dan also commented! I'm sure you know of David "Rock" Feinstein? He is Ronnie's cousin.. He's also from Cortland, I'm friends with his daughters, and, my friend Nate Horton is the drummer. There are a lot of big names in music from around here. =) I love the fact that now a days, the metal scene is still alive! \m/ =) \m/ Sam -
@@DirtyDovi No I never knew about RJD'S family...cousins etc..but I find what you're saying very interesting! The Liliac Band has encouraged me to see /hear DIO in a different way...hard to explain. Maybe back in 80s n 90s I was too immature. ...46 yr old now. FYI the Liliac Band will be on the CBS WORLD'S BEST this week on Wednesday Mar 6...I'm gonna be tuned in 4 sure...I've been a fan since last summer. Sam...my name is Ben ..thank you for replying ...Keep Metal Alive..YES!
@@bensabiston470 Ben, it's nice to meet you! Google the band "Elf".. That was a group that Ron and Dave were in together back in the day.. Funny the name was Elf - Because Ron and Dave are both so short! lol That's so cool to hear man, and great that you're experiencing Ron's music all over again and in a completely new way. 46? I'm 38, not too far off.. I grew up around this stuff, and have loved it all since childhood. Hey, thanks for the heads up about LILIAC's upcoming appearance.. Very cool, and if I can find a way, I'll also try to tune in! \m/ =) \m/ Sam -
Melody... Your vocal is spot on! As for the band... Deadly accurate. I don't have long hair anymore since cancer, but I was headbangin. Thank you guys for once again bringing ROCK back like it should be. You are all very talented and seeing a family doing it right is extra special. We need more of you on the east coast states... Like Pa? Take care all. Peace.
Hi Andrew,i agree with you 100% on them being spot on & deadly accurate,i also love that song & sorry to hear you have cancer & glad your still headbanging,I'm from Kansas & my name is Justin,you take care & keep on rocking
Oh my lord!!!! You guys killed it!! I’m so glad that Justin got some exposure! And Ethan pumping that bass... totally cool. Mel! Your vocals are off the chain and Abigail... your energy is infectious! Samuel... your axe grinding pulls it all together and that solo was sic!!! Thanks for this video!! Makes me proud to be a Lilimaniac🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼
You know it dude.....BRACE YOURSELVES PEOPLE. ..this LILIAC ROCKET is set to blast off in T MINUS "ANY FRIGGING DAY NOW"......GREAT CHOICE 4 A COVER ....OMG....SOOOO GOOD! !
This comment summed it up for me. Really liked seeing you do a song that showcased Justin a bit. You guy are all Stars, but Melody you are a supernova. I'll bet you guys kick butt at school talent competitions :). Seriously though, you guys are the total package. On a scale of 1-10, your energy is 10, your talent is 10, and your likability is about 37 :) Keep it up, you guys will go far.
New, way-too-late comment. Vacation in Sevierville, TN. Picked out a decent Mexican restaurant for an early dinner after a hard day of touristy stuff. A couple of tables away is a group of “kids” with a distinctly leather vibe. Didn’t think much of it; they were well-behaved and we finished our dinner without incident. Later, I see “Liliac” concert advertisements around town, and like a good metal head, I looked them up. Guess who we ate dinner with! Consider me now a casual fan. 😇
Way to rock that Bass Ethan! You have just "Released the Cracken"! Letting Melody free now to roam and roar those massive vocal skills down upon the shivering, quivering masses!!!!!! Just awesome and unbelievable talent my young Rock Warriors! I simply shudder at your capabilities and dare to imagine what each new song will bring!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dio cada ves que escucha esta canción sonríe seguramente... ver a estos jóvenes talentosos mantener viva la flama de su legado... Realmente me emocionan con estas interpretaciones. Larga Vida al Rock and Roll!
I've heard a ton of those cutey pie family bands....they usually make me throw up in my mouth a little. Not so with these young artist, the singer in particular. I've been a player for more years than they parents have been around....these kids have enormous potential. Stay after it, and help keep real rock and roll alive. Well Done!
BEWARE
NEW QUEEN OF HEAVY METAL HAS ARRIVED 🖤

What the hell is going on in the world?! Young folks playing actual rock n roll?! Hallelujah!
Don't get to worked up. Guitar Hero had a $50 reality add on.

The correct pronunciation is has not have

I have no doubt that Ronnie approves!
You just made a grown man cry. Y'all done Ronnie proud.

Bad take.

She does it so intense it's scary. To hear a girl sound like dio.

she sings it better then rodney james dio

This band is a legend for bringing rock genre back to life, her vocals is a killer...
wow, what a voice on that girl..perfect for Dio songs!
I think Ronnie would be happy with that performence.
Bro, he is happy.
Are you sure you guys aren't Ronnies relatives
Gotta tell ya, it's perhaps the most badass voice I've heard in recent times!!!!!!
Their parents must be damn proud for them. Performing one the greatest metal songs by one the greatest metal singers ever.
I agree 100%
Their parents were heavy rockers from transylvania Romania! 😎
@@MrDanaslagle oh wow that is badass
She is the best singer alongside the Vocal God SAM KISZKA.... RONNIE IS SOOOOO PROUD OF YOU
2019 RONNIE MUST BE LOOKIN DOWN ON THIS FLIPPING THE HORNS , great cover 👏👏👏👍👌👌👌
Sad but ....Ronnie didn't believe in Heaven......He says in an interview that it's all a scam to make you believe that their is a Heaven.......😞
@@markkendrick7547 didn't say anything about heaven
You said "Must be looking down" in capital letters so........
"The Horns" are actually not horns at all but an Italian throat blessing. It was a blessing meant to prevent illness and Dio "flipping the horns" was him wishing his fans well.
@@ForestofCicadas maby so but my point still stands
Good to see/hear this generation doing old school rock proud! 👍😎👍
Rock on, Liliac. 👏
Rocks been reborn. Somebody sign these kids. They are primed and ready
give it a few years. they should mature a little and enjo their childhoods while they are young
They are self releasing an album of original songs. It might already be out.
One of my favorite bands drummer is head of her time and the vocals are that are unmatched by the singers of today she is a goddess by right and electric guitar that brings a master of sound and one of best to play so young he will be worth watching as keyboards and base bring there quality sound that make this a must see band front man Keith Shadows bringing you the best of sound
It does my heart good to see all of you carrying on the "Metal Torch".
I graduated high school in “85” and the metal these kids crank out is amazing!
Truly amazing.
And?
Graduated in 84' It was our time for metal and hardcore. CBGB's?
Same year as me. We heard some kickass music in our day! These kids give me hope for music's future. As great as the Three older kids are, can you imagine how great the Two youngest are going to be?
Hell yeah! Class of 84
Class of '80! 🤘
(Ouch! I think I pulled sumpthin'...)
She has a great power metal voice. This is GOLD!
You guys are EXACTLY what the music world needs. People with actual talent singing without pitch modulation or computerized help and playing their own instruments. Just raw freakin' talent. I've seen DIO live more than 10 times and I am honored to say you all slayed this. Love the vocals with the rasp, I didn't just hear you singing this I felt it (great job). And man way to slay the guitar solo brother. Amazing work all around from me. I've been in or around the music biz for decades and there aren't enough words in the dictionary to say how impressed I am with this performance. Kudos.
Way to go!!!!! If you would have been the first to have came out with this song it would have still been the song it is was and is today! Again, way to go! Ronny would have been proud of you all!!!!!!
Talent? They didn't write it.
@RodneyLee Don't be a douche. Everyone knows who wrote it. But these kids did a great job covering it. Get over yourself.@@rodneylee4026
@@rodneylee4026 That was not I said at all. Once you get your GED and learn to read and comprehend then maybe you'll get what I said dumbass. Peace out.
@@rodneylee4026 If you listen to the history of rock and roll, pop, or just about any genre of music, a good portion of the songs is a group covering another songwriter's tunes.
I’m father of a 5 year old kid who loves rock, he plays the drums and we practice everyday our rock performances, my 2nd is on my wife’s belly currently, watching this band really makes me think about continuing my legacy and forming a family rock band!
Keep pumpin em out dude, start a family band. Dont go all joe Jackson though.
Thats AWESOME.
Do it brother. All the luck in the world to you and your family. You are in my prayers. Rock on! 🤘😎🤘
I love her voice. It was made for metal. She can do vocals on the level of Dio, Ozzy and Janis Joplin. That the rest of the family plays the songs above perfect is the coolest. You guys keep rockin!! I'll keep listening and spreading the word!!!
and Lemmy!
Awesome, awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome awesome, enough said just ,wow
Rainbow in the dark needs to be live. As a tribute song to the masses every two years. Your live performance of this song is spectacular. You are bringing rock back to the masses and we are proud.
Now that's one very talented family spot on
Have watched this video so many times, Melody's keeps calling me back!
....WoW!!??!.... the people that are putting Thumbs Down on THIS.. are you sure it's not Jealousy--- This is an extremely talented Family!!!!.... 😎👍
they just turned their screen upside down so they could like two times
@@rakotovololonahajaluc8826 very CooL!!!... 😎👍...cheers !... 🤩
Easy now on hating the haters. What else can Nickelback fans do nowadays. LOL
@@DjJtown .... lol...lol.... 🤣😂😄... good one!!!... 😎👍
Family???Its one dude with different hair,,,,
Your father should be really, really, proud of all you, You make us believe on Rock and Roll again¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡
OMG!!!! HOLY COW!!!!! ARE THEY FOR REAL????? THESE GUYS ROCK!!!!!!!! They are PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!! Liliac is SENSATIONAL!!!!!!!! Keep rising!!!Keep ROCKING!!!!!!!! Congratulations on BEING THE BEST ROCK FAMILY I have EVER heard!!!!!!!! And I'm 49 years old!!!
The entire group gives 120%. Nothing to dislike or criticize! These guys will go places only other bands dreamed of going.
As a metal head I loved this. Somewhere DIO is smiling
Oh! dio is reborn??
Yo, this is crazy! 🤯🤯🤯
You know it! 👍
Those vocals..... daaaaaamnn! Next generation of Rock/Metal music is in good hands. Well done @Liliac!
Impressive....did NOT expect to hear those vocals coming out of you! You absolutely nailed it. (The rest of the band did a great job, as well)
This must be your first liliac video. She wails
Yes, it was, actually. Probably not my last, though...
I agree
I agree
+Beard Guy101 go get your ears checked
And somewhere the spirit of Ronnie James smiles. :)
We thought when ronnie left this world,all his great ever green numbers from the days black sabbath, rainbow, dio, will remain buried forever as the time gone by... but we were wrong, before ronnie left this world he gave his amazing voice to this young talented lady called melody. Indeed you guys Rock!!! We do look forward to listen many great numbers from your late uncle Ronnie 😊 😊😊 keep rocking Liliac all the best👍true music knows no geographical boundaries rather it unite all the people as a single soul. I am pretty sure your late uncle ronnie must be feeling so so happy and smiling looking down to you all Liliac from up above just hiding somewhere in " RAINBOW IN THE DARK"
So I stumbled on thier cover of holy diver and was absolutely wowed! Now I am just watching video after video and I am amazed at the unbelievable talent that these young bloods have. Keep rocking!
I’m in awe of her skill. Not another singer like her.
She can sound just like Ronnie James Dio. Then turn around and sound like a mixture of Ann Wilson of Heart and Lizzy Hale from Halestorm. Literally every note makes your hair stand up and you get goosebumps.
The entire band plays all their songs SPOT ON!
Incredible band. I love watching them. It’s so much fun watching them enjoy themselves.
It’s effortless for them.
She sounds nothing like Dio or Ann Wilson. That's not saying she's bad. She's awesome but I think she tries too hard to sound like "someone."
I've been a Dio fan for nearly 40 years, and HANDS DOWN, this is EASILY the best Dio cover I've ever heard! The vocals, all the instruments, you guys are spot on. Hell yeah Liliac!!!! 🤘😎🤘
I agree
Billy Moedebeck Great cover without a doubt. Let me give you another, it will make the hair on your neck stand up. Check out the cover of Heaven and Hell by Sarah and Motion Device, she will blow you away.
I was going to say you also need to check out Motion Device. Sara the lead singer is only 16 and does an incredible job with metal songs
@@afterburner2869 Thank you, I'll definitely check em out!
@@edc4517 Thanks Ed, I will check them out! Anybody who can sing Ronnie properly will have my attention for sure...
this is the singer you need for a Dio Tribute band 🤘🙂
I listen to Liliac every day since I found them here 😍
I'm close to 60 and I started in the early 70's with rock & metal later...
Since today I don't like that boring pop stuff and autotune garbage...
Liliac are fucking great and they have their own special power 🤘💝🤘
My husband is from Senegal West Africa and he loves all that black music like r&b, soul, HipHopp and and and...
Not my thing but it's okay...
He is probably the only black guy worldwide who don't dance 😋😎🤣
When we get married almost 15 years ago we MUST dance one song...
It was Metallica with Nothing else matters where we only dance in lil circles 🤣🤣🤣😅
Today he still don't like metal very much but I was listening to every single song of Liliac and he LOVES U 2 !!! 🤗😍💝🤘
It brought tears to my eyes when you sang “is it someone that you know!!!!” 😢 your voice is freaking amazing and mature beyond your years. Don’t waste your talent embrace it and nurture it and you will go places 🙏
This entire cover gave me chills
Dude.. yes, tears. Man that voice is just searing. Dio has to be proud
I would trade my soul for this kind of vocals 🖤 I'm seriously in love with her voice!Many female vocalists try a bit too hard. She doesn't have to do anything 🤩
Exactly!!!
You are mistaken. Obviously it's a years of training + a bit of pure talent;)
I agree. As a soprano, I'd KILL for that kind of grit and power. Getting to the high notes in Handal's " Messiah" is one thing, but THIS!!!
She has a killer voice
As a 1980's kid, I fell in love with this family and their explosive talent! Thank God for Liliac!
I have always loved this song because of Dio's voice and this cover is by far the best I have ever seen. The singer has the same ability as RJD to give me goosebumps when she sings and to me, that is something special. And to give the rest of the band the credit they deserve, they nailed this song perfectly. Beautifully done!
You all deserve to be the winner of the world's best contest
Fabulous Awesome Amazing Excellent stage performance!!! 🎸 Rock and Roll kuchie koo!!! I love these kids!!! I'm 59 years old and all I can say is keep on 🎸 rocking!!!
That voice . That band. The future of rock and roll is looking bright.
Ronnie James Dio is definitely smiling down from the heavens above at you Liliac. You are 100% completely AWESOME !! ❤
Such a GREAT band! Abigail is crushing the drums!
And having a ball doing it!
Being an old rocker in my 70s this the best I’ve heard in a long time you are frickin fantastic love your voice !!!
the whole band is amazing but that vocallist is going down in metal history!!!!!
Holy shit they are amazing can't belive I just discovered them.
I don't usually comment on many music videos,
but I think you might like to hear this, so here it goes..
Ronald Padavona [DIO] was from Cortland NY - Where I grew up..
He used to play in a band with my uncle, and our families are friends..
Ron was always a really cool guy, and I can say for a fact that
He Really Would Have Enjoyed This Song! You did a killer job!!
\m/ =) \m/
Sam -
Right on there fella...good on you 4 stepping up to the plate.This SUPER AWESOME young band need help to get launched and comments like yours I'm sure they will notice. Did you know they also recently received a very supportive message from Dan Padavona (Ronnie' s son)?? Dan was verrrry impressed.
@@bensabiston470
Thanks, I agree, and.. It is so cool to hear that Dan also commented!
I'm sure you know of David "Rock" Feinstein? He is Ronnie's cousin..
He's also from Cortland, I'm friends with his daughters, and,
my friend Nate Horton is the drummer.
There are a lot of big names in music from around here. =)
I love the fact that now a days, the metal scene is still alive!
\m/ =) \m/

@@DirtyDovi No I never knew about RJD'S family...cousins etc..but I find what you're saying very interesting! The Liliac Band has encouraged me to see /hear DIO in a different way...hard to explain. Maybe back in 80s n 90s I was too immature. ...46 yr old now. FYI the Liliac Band will be on the CBS WORLD'S BEST this week on Wednesday Mar 6...I'm gonna be tuned in 4 sure...I've been a fan since last summer. Sam...my name is Ben ..thank you for replying ...Keep Metal Alive..YES!
@@bensabiston470
Ben, it's nice to meet you! Google the band "Elf"..
That was a group that Ron and Dave were in together back in the day..
Funny the name was Elf - Because Ron and Dave are both so short! lol
That's so cool to hear man, and great that you're experiencing Ron's music all over again and in a completely new way. 46? I'm 38, not too far off..
I grew up around this stuff, and have loved it all since childhood.
Hey, thanks for the heads up about LILIAC's upcoming appearance..
Very cool, and if I can find a way, I'll also try to tune in!
\m/ =) \m/

@@DirtyDovi ELF....will do..that's funny though...thanks I'm sure we'll talk again.
Божественно.
Какая самоотдача.
Дело ронни джеймса дио живет и побеждает.

Damn!!!!!! Am I hearing right? This. Is. Amazing. Finally, some actual talent in the music world in 2019. 🎵🎵🎵
These kids are going places, with a bright future ahead of them....mark my words.
Maby, the problem is that you don't get far doing cover songs.
But its a start and its better than nothing ok
UA-cam is as far as they'll ever get
They have originals written by themselves. Check em out. I think they are going to be more than just a great cover band.
murph murph Well they’ve gotten further than UA-cam because they played in Toronto, Canada last night!!🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Melody... Your vocal is spot on! As for the band... Deadly accurate. I don't have long hair anymore since cancer, but I was headbangin. Thank you guys for once again bringing ROCK back like it should be. You are all very talented and seeing a family doing it right is extra special. We need more of you on the east coast states... Like Pa? Take care all. Peace.
Hi Andrew,i agree with you 100% on them being spot on & deadly accurate,i also love that song & sorry to hear you have cancer & glad your still headbanging,I'm from Kansas & my name is Justin,you take care & keep on rocking
Beat that cancer Andrew !!!

Take courage man.... you can do it... Much love to you!
This is insanely good. My gods what talent!
Oh my lord!!!! You guys killed it!! I’m so glad that Justin got some exposure! And Ethan pumping that bass... totally cool. Mel! Your vocals are off the chain and Abigail... your energy is infectious! Samuel... your axe grinding pulls it all together and that solo was sic!!! Thanks for this video!! Makes me proud to be a Lilimaniac🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼❤️🤘🏼

You know it dude.....BRACE YOURSELVES PEOPLE. ..this LILIAC ROCKET is set to blast off in T MINUS "ANY FRIGGING DAY NOW"......GREAT CHOICE 4 A COVER ....OMG....SOOOO GOOD! !
This comment summed it up for me. Really liked seeing you do a song that showcased Justin a bit. You guy are all Stars, but Melody you are a supernova. I'll bet you guys kick butt at school talent competitions :). Seriously though, you guys are the total package. On a scale of 1-10, your energy is 10, your talent is 10, and your likability is about 37 :) Keep it up, you guys will go far.
@@AKCobra1120 Right on Dude....These guys Rock!!
I want to see lilac and Greta van fleet in concert soon!!!
Another sign that rock never dies.
I'm sure Ronnie is looking down from Heaven and smiling. Well done Lilac, well done.
New, way-too-late comment. Vacation in Sevierville, TN. Picked out a decent Mexican restaurant for an early dinner after a hard day of touristy stuff. A couple of tables away is a group of “kids” with a distinctly leather vibe. Didn’t think much of it; they were well-behaved and we finished our dinner without incident. Later, I see “Liliac” concert advertisements around town, and like a good metal head, I looked them up. Guess who we ate dinner with! Consider me now a casual fan. 😇
These days, any band that does covers as good or better than the original,,, these young people are going places 😀
oh, and I shouldn't leave out the amazing drummer, either. Excellent. Obviously a whole lotta talent in that dna. rock it up guys!!
No matter how many times I watch this , I am still blown away by how good they are !! Fang 4 life !! 🤘🤘
n a world of mumble rap and vapid auto tuned pop stars.these kids give me hope for humanity playing real rock and roll! Keep it up Liliac❤❤❤
Way to rock that Bass Ethan! You have just "Released the Cracken"! Letting Melody free now to roam and roar those massive vocal skills down upon the shivering, quivering masses!!!!!! Just awesome and unbelievable talent my young Rock Warriors! I simply shudder at your capabilities and dare to imagine what each new song will bring!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fuck yeah!!! Finally, someone who stays true to the original without sounding hispter and adding unnecesary sounds or twists. Good stuff.
You guys should cover, youth gone wild by skid row
This needs way more upvotes.
@@GotrekGurninsson they got one from me
Youth gone wild or 18 and Life. I think that one would showcase her voice well.
Yed I agree they should, be bad ass.
They get my vote
Dio cada ves que escucha esta canción sonríe seguramente... ver a estos jóvenes talentosos mantener viva la flama de su legado... Realmente me emocionan con estas interpretaciones. Larga Vida al Rock and Roll!
I've heard a ton of those cutey pie family bands....they usually make me throw up in my mouth a little. Not so with these young artist, the singer in particular. I've been a player for more years than they parents have been around....these kids have enormous potential. Stay after it, and help keep real rock and roll alive. Well Done!
My favorite Liliac cover song! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐👍😎🔥
The whole band is amazing. The singer is amazing. Wow. Mad props to this family, and band.
Yeah, this goes a bit farther than simple strumming or relying on pitch correction software. That's what makes them so special.
Your awesome your playing music I grew up with yous ROCK
Absolutely incredible and where did that voice come from.
