I agree with your Reaction 100%. I think this song should be under Grammy Award Nomination. I really don't understand why it isn't flying off the shelves and receiving massive airplay.
Because they are a pariah to the labels, who rule the music industry. They are independent and most venues won't touch them because of one thing. Money!
We (Fangs) have been trying and trying, to get this song (and others) air time on major radio stations. It's extremely hard because of them being an Indy band. The labels control this with the almighty dollar. Once in a while, a station will have a special slot for Indy, or something of that nature, and if you get lucky, they choose your request. They just need that break to get the attention they deserve. They are working hard everyday, been paying their dues for years now. All Reactors are very important to the group, and for this, I appreciate you giving them notice, but more so, I Love that you share the same mindset, all of us caring fans have for them. Thank you sir! 🤘
Bob, I had to send a direct link to your Reaction to Liliac. I know they will appreciate your views. They are a very humble and gracious Band. Take Care. RORH-- Fang4life
They started on the Santa Monica Pier as kids for exposure. They have come a long way, thank God, and trying to stay independent. Thank you for an honest reaction!🤘🤘🤘🤘
Thanks for the love. You have me choked up. This is one of my fave Sam solo's. Love how Melodia screams and Sam takes the solo. They do that all the time. Loving it. The other fave solos is on Master Of Puppets.
First time I caught you in my cue. I support 2 bands with my megar means. One Austrian family out of Liverpool and Liliac. The Fangs wanted a ballad with the Queen of Hearts album. And what a power ballad they gave us. This was truly a family effort collaboration. Father came up with the beginning riff that they expanded on and wrote the string parts. MeloDia had a poem that worked etc. Truly a family affair. Just for shits and giggles, replay the last part and put your hand to your speaker. You will feel all of Abigails double bass kicks she puts in. Ups your senses. I enjoyed your reaction. I did play it all the way thru to the end. They have a lot of originals you could go thru with videos. Hope to see more Liliac from you. Peace be with everyone. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🤘 🦇
I’m a drum nut and I really dont think Abigail gets enough credit considering she has only been playing for 6-7ish years. Please also understand i am not taking anything away from the rest of the band, they are amazing.
@@R-Mouse2299 I've been saying for awhile now that Abigails hard hitting style makes up part of their Vamp Metal style. If you're a drum nut, put your hand to the speaker and feel those double kicks. Not just triplets. I had a friend in the 70s that embraced the double bass. He wore a kidney belt. Not only do you need coordination, it engages your core and you have to be so strong. Abigail is so strong. I sometimes refer to her as the Amazon Princess. I was so happy when her custom kit was the double bass. I love them all. It's a family affair! Thanks. 🤘🦇
@@R-Mouse2299 Aby is so solid. And I think she plays whatever she needs to to enhance a song, not show off her fills. Simple, powerful and effective drumming.
This is one of my favorite songs by Liliac. Especially when you watch video, you see more matured boys and girls. Sam plays stuff he usually doesn't, Abigail's drumming is very nice, and of course Melody's voice is just amazing, and I get why they have done lot of Dio covers, Melody's voice is versatile on her own way.
This is def my favorite song to date. This a great ballad and easily the best ballad I've heard for decades. You gave it pretty high praise yerself, I'm there with ya. Enjoy! Fang4life! RO&RH! 🤘😎🤘
Thank you for a great reaction. Let me fill you in on the song a little bit. Melody the singer wrote the song, each of the kids wrote their own music notes to the song, and Papa Liliac wrote all the string music. They produced this song themselves and Papa Liliac hired a man to do the drone footage. And Sam the lead guitarist edited the song. You should listen to all their originals. I know you said to email you the songs, but I'm not that good on a computer yet to email you. They just released two new ones. Last in Line by Dio. It was a tribute to a cancer fund given by his wife Wendy. And a song called Dear Father. Go to their website and you can learn so much more about this wonderful young band. By you playing Liliac I bet you get a lot of new subscribers. I just subscribed to your channel myself. RORH!!!!!!
And, of course, LILIAC also carried all their equipment across the sand to film the video, including that grand piano. That's working hard to realize your artistic vision on a small budget!
im new to your chan just saw this shared by our fangs yes we are the Liliac Legion and you will get more subs now trust me headon into the liliac rabbit hole and you will never be dissapointed!! damn good reaction!!!!
It’s a phenomenal song and video, the video was nominated for an award unfortunately they came second, it’s up there with Aerosmith s I don’t want to miss a thing or guns n roses November rain or Bon jovi s blaze of glory , I can’t understand why it’s not being played more or on radio stations , I love liliac please listen to more of their original s such as Nothing or Dancing in the dark etc
Music structure is Florin's doing I'm sure. His mind is involved more often than not. Sam also. It is Justin that I revel over. Even he is shooting up fast in growth. Their musical prowess is the awe inspiring factor. They also command visual. Listening to their cd's always makes me yearn to see them. Abigail is spooky with situational awareness on the drums.
Also as an independent band Liliac videos don't need to be paused for copyright reasons, plus there's the added bonus of them being super reactor friendly giving shout outs and interviews.
I have to agree with other comments that Mars (Live In Cumming, GA 2019) is another good original although I can't find an original I don't like on either of their original CD's.
Thank you for a fangtastic reaction to my favourite Liliac original . I agree with every point you made . For my money this is pure poetry and the execution of it's as professional as any mainstream band . I think they don't get the radio airplay they deserve because they are fiercely independent and they talk about the ridiculous contracts they have been asked to sign , so they are not controlled by the parasitic music industry . That's why we need reactors such as yourself that can recognise the talent and can spread the word . Fang4life RORH
Remaining independent and succeeding may take longer. But maintaining control of your music and your self respect is so worth it. I have so much respect for artists that choose this route. As I told someone earlier, I could be a lot more popular and successful as a reactor if I would fake my reactions. But I have to look at myself in the mirror and I couldn’t do that if I was doing phony reactions. I will definitely be spreading the word.
Melody and Sam are the main writers but it's a collective effort and their dad probably has a lot to do with the process. I guess they write, give him the lyrics and chords and then he tweaks some things here and there, gets back to them and they may do more changes until the song is ready. Their dad has experience in the industry, he's been a producer and he seems to know what he's doing.
I've said elsewhere that I think this is my favorite of their originals.. between this, Mars and Nothing. I whole heartedly agree with you on the comparison to Bohemian Rhapsody. That came to mind when I heard this the first time as well as Billy Joel's Scenes from an Italian Restaraunt. Also made me think, this is what ELO would be doing if they were metal. I don't want to get off on what I'm capable of.. quite a bit.. and still have a difficult time seeing these kids in 6 years essentially go from picking up instruments for the first time to being essentially a Headline act looking for an audience. A TOP Headline act looking for an audience. Let's face it, they've taken on the all time top 20 Hard rock and metal tunes and shredded them in covers - in some cases improving on them. And their originals are on the level of what they're covering. I'm with you, I'd put this song next to Bohemian Rhapsody 7 days a week and as many times as I could get away with on the last one. No problem. Instant classic. They should be everywhere, IMO. And I think Melody's voice stands up to Freddie Mercury level for uniqueness. She's got qualities to her voice that I've heard from others like Ethridge, Raitt, Tyler.. But none of them sound like her. And I think Marc Martel is the only person I've heard in my life that actually sounds like Freddie. Tough act to follow. At any rate, babbling; so, Cheers!
As a new sub I didn't really understand what you meant by watch the video if you have a suggestion because I do not take suggestions from the comments section. So how do I suggest exactly?
@Jonathan Watson I literally just found this message from you. It was in my “Held fo Review” box. If you watch the whole video, you will find the answer to your question along with an explanation of why I do it the way I do it. Sorry for the inconvenience but I do have reasons for taking suggestions the way I do.
I have listened to alot of new bands. For me Melody is the most chameleon singer of all of them. Sam can play anything. Abby on drums gets better and better. Ethan and Justin are growing. I too am an honest reactor. The Warning is always brought up. They are good musicians but average singers, The big thing for me is the versatility of Liliac. Many of their songs are different all together. Reminds me of the Beatles in that way. Just my opinion.
@@SixxDaze Yeah look at Bret Michael, ugh average singer. Vince Neil, Jon Bon Jovi, and Ozzy, also average. So many that did not deserve the fame they got simply becuz they were carried by their exceptional bandmates. But then you got far superior singers like Klaus Meine of Scorpions who became famous but not in the states like the average ones did. smh
As a singer for most my life, I always had a thing about lame female singers; Joan Jett comes to mind. This is how I feel about the girlie bands coming out like The Warning. The instruments are exceptional I admit, but the singers open their mouths and it's over for me. 2 years ago when I first heard Melody, I thought I was going to explode I was so excited to hear that grit, that rasp, that pure rock voice that I now call "crushed diamonds on velvet". She is what we've been needing since Lzzy Hale. AND what is even more wonderful is that this family is and will stay independent, and follow their spiritual walk of life with God in the midst of the rock world. #RORH
@Cristy Rawks You are absolutely correct. I am discovering so many amazing bands that should be household names in the states but aren’t. You mentioned Vince Neil, the fact that people still pay to hear him “sing” baffles me. OH and let’s not forget DLR.
@@SixxDaze OMG, in 1991, I was invited backstage by Cinderella after they opened for DLR and I'm glad becuz DLR was the HEADLINER and as I was going downstairs, I could hear him and he SUCKED!! lol But people would string me up to hear me disparage Ozzy, but I have never ever been impressed with his voice. Randy Rhoades made him, that and his ability to use crazy stuff on stage. But that's me. As you said we all have our opinions.
When you get a chance you should react to zillas new song Bleach. Love all of your videos and you always have a great insight on topics you talk about.
When you get a chance you should follow his instructions and EMAIL your song recommendation to him, instead of wasting time putting it here in the comments. You know, when you get a chance.

I agree with your Reaction 100%. I think this song should be under Grammy Award Nomination. I really don't understand why it isn't flying off the shelves and receiving massive airplay.
