Not Afraid extended version or Carousel shows off Melody's vocal range and both are fantastic songs! Thanks guys for the great reaction and comments and stay safe and well. Fang4Life!!
She sounds like Melody Cristea.
However she is influenced by Dio, Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, etc.
Some people compare her vocals to Janis Joplin, Melissa Etheridge, Lzzy Hale, Doro, Maria Brink, etc.
However...Melody Cristea can do things they can't.
Abby is always smiling. Love these guys.
Liliac- Not Afraid (Extended Version), We Are The Children, or Dear Father should be next.
Great reaction to my favorite band; I enjoy the insights you bring. Here are a few suggestions for what to check out next:
1) Carousel: Their latest and my new favorite. Really showcases what this independent band can do both musically and in their videos.
2) Not Afraid: Melody’s vocals are off the charts on this one and the video showcases the incredible energy of the Moonlight tour last year.
3) Sail Away: Something totally different, a power ballad. Up there with November Rain for me.
4) Seven Nation Army (cover): Holy Diver showed you how they deliver awesome tributes to my favorite bands. This one shows you how they can make a cover their own while still honoring the original.
You can’t go wrong with anything they do, but if I had to pick a. next song, it’d be one of these. 🤘🦇🤘
With a new video on the way
I was in the video of not afraid, done in Florida...
She sounds like Janice Joplin you need to listen to her cover of take a piece of my heart from this same show she also does a cover of close my eyes forever,and I've seen them live and it's incredible
A common comment is that she reminds people of Janis Joplin. And at the same gig they played a great cover of Piece of My Heart

Abigail is always a joy to watch, she's so happy and bubbly rocking out at the drums and lighting up the whole room. I recommend their song Nothing and the official video of Sail Away, those are two of my favourites of their cover of Rainbow in The Dark is what really drew my attention to them.
I'M 74, AND I LOVE THIS BAND.MELODIES VOICE IS LIKE NO OTHER.SHE SOUNDS SOOO GREAT.
same here @ 72
Hello my new young friends. Lol You have just watched a 17 year old MeloDia. I think it's fascinating that this is a all in the family run band. I first caught them on the World's Best show playing Rainbow in the Dark. I now drive truck so I hit and miss shows a lot. It's amazing that after the show, and they did a studio full version with MeloDias unfinished Rainbow in the Dark painting, it went viral and they put out the Chain of Thorns EP. Their father did all the work to book their first tour from that in the US and some Canada. The younger kids were still being homeschooled etc. MeloDia graduated early because she wanted to concentrate on writing more music. It's not a normal thing to have them as an independent band book their own tour. This is when Ethan was transitioning to the bass from rhythm guitar. MeloDia was the original bass player. She still played and writes the bass. Thus is just before Sawtooth Chromecast endorsed them. So now you don't see Marshall amps etc. MeloDia met Vinny Appice at the Sawtooth booth at the Nam. Checkout from 1 player to another vlog with Liliac in 2020. A great interview before the endorsement. They will stay independent unless they got a sweet deal without a pay cut. They have one of the best merch tables I'm told at concerts. I liked your reaction. Just subbed. The newest release would be future shock for you, however it's fun to go back and forth. The new video is what I picture Liliac to be on the Big Stage. A lot of theatrics with awesome music. Sounds like you all are from Virginia Beach. I married my wife in 1979 while we were stationed nearby in the Army. Lol fun fact. Till next Liliac! Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🍻🌹❤️🤘🦇
Can't speak for others, but I know I suggested this song because it's live, an original, really shows off how good of a guitarist Sam is, and Melody kills it on vocals. Glad you enjoyed this song of theirs, it's a really good showcase of their talents as a band. If you're looking for what to react to of theirs next, I'd suggest their newest original "Carousel" or "Symphony of Destruction" if you want a cover. All of Liliac's stuff is pretty solid, so there's really nothing to avoid.
Since you mentioned you enjoy watching keyboardists on stage, I'll suggest you check out the Dutch symphonic metal band Epica. Epica is most famous for their amazing lead singer, but their keyboardist loves to ham it up on stage. "Abyss of Time" would be my suggestion for an Epica music video to check out, or "Consign to Oblivion - Live at the Zenith" if you want to jump straight into their live stuff.
Thank you for reacting to this live video. I was at this awesome show.
Carousel next if you want to hear Melody's extreme controlled range.
Great Reaction. Very insightful, really enjoyed it. I find myself trying to describe Melody's voice, but in the end, besides the many layers to her unique voice, is the emotion she conveys in any song. Perhaps mesmerizing is a good qualifier. Sam, of course and rest of the band are so tight and fit so well together. Shows you how hard work pays off! Cudos to all. Loved this!!
My vote is for their best cover, Seven Nation Army.
If you want to really hear that high rasp listen to Not Afraid extended version.
The solo at the start with the classical bits reminds me of the guitar battle between Ralph Macchio and Steve Vai at the end of the movie Crossroads (played I think by Vai himself called Eugene's trick bag)
The opening solo was inspired by Paul Gilbert's solo fro Mr Big. They play this while the rest of the band is off stage on a "Potty Break" and are just coming back onstage....
Just clicked on to you haven't seen your reaction yet. Melody kills it on vocals Sam shreds the guitar the whole band is great the live version the song is great Been there seen them performing the song 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
If you go back to really early videos you'll see that Melody used to play bass and sing. Which I always find impressive.
Here's Crazy Train (music video from Santa Monica Pier 2018) czcams.com/video/RYheheoxYhk/video.html
And here's a really early video of them playing Wild Thing in 2015 (as The Cristeas) with Melody still in braces but already rocking that raspy voice czcams.com/video/aqcmbDFrlqc/video.html
I'm an old metal head (59) and liliac is the next big metal band to carry the torch . Melody gives me chills when I listen to her vocal mastery of this song .
I've always said her voice sounds like a combination of Janice Joplin and Bonnie Tyler.
Another reactor said that Melody does harmonic pinches with her voice. If you’d like to hear her do a duet, the family covered “Close My Eyes Forever” by Ozzy and Lita Ford. It’s a great rendition.
With MeloDia's unique voice being so powerful she has blown out speaker systems at their concerts. Her voice cannot be auto tuned as well. Lot of critics said she was auto tuned and her father Pappa Liliac has proven several times with his sound boards and whatever you can't auto tune her voice. It sounds terrible when you do. So that is one powerhouse of a voice she has. My favorite would be Not Afraid the extended version and then Carousel.
Auto Tune sounds awful no matter who it is applied to, just sayin. But yes Melody is the real deal, I've seen her sing since she was 12, she is not faking it.
Doesn't matter what you do tribute or original they ALL rock. I enjoy watching new reactors trip down the rabbit hole. RORH
I'm older than the 68 yr old and we LOVE metal.
I'm really rooting for these kids, the next generation of rock..LILIAK and the warning should gig together..🤘
I was at the show in Virginia Beach on July 6. My first time seeing them live and they blew me away. Far exceeded expectations! It was a small venue but they rocked the house. Only change I would make is instead of playing for two hours extend it to two and a half hours! Phenomenal band!
Can't say enough about this band been watching them for a while they're growing up quick! and fast!!" and I hope they go right to the top where they belong Rock on!!"
Sam can really make that guitar sing. It's 4 years later, I know his skills have grown even more.
This shows what Sam can do as a guitarist at 20 years old! Melody's vocals only get better, you'll see as you progress through their growth.
Great reaction you can follow the originals that went viral Chain of Thorns Sail Away then the newest Not Afraid and Carousel.
She has a couple of nice screams in their new song Carousel
Climb aboard the "Liliac " train and we will take the ride with you .
I have not heard anything I did not like but if you're looking to get some chicken skin try their cover of Seven Nation Army or Not Afraid, Melodia kills it!!
Guys!!! PLEASE, PLEASE react to more from this great band!! You won't be disappointed at all!!
If they spent more time producing and writing their own music like this beautiful song my God they could have gone so much further than where they are now her sound and her voice is amazing
Abby is sometimes serious, like in their Holy Diver cover or their original We Are the Children, but usually she’s smiling and living her best life. Actually if you see any of their live interviews, they’re all smiling and happy. They are so grateful for the love and support from their fans. Ethan and Justin are usually more quiet, it seems to just be part of their personalities. You might want to check out Dear Father, which has a “vocal surprise” from Melody. I’m not going to say what that is because I don’t want to spoil the surprise. Melody and Sam have been singing together since they were very young. When they were still The Cristea’s, they did a cover of Rhianna’s “Stay”, it’s worth checking out, and Abby plays the accordion, their dad plays that too. Melody had such vocal control she can do something called throat singing, which I believe originated in Mongolia. You are excellent reviewers, you do good research and are obviously quite knowledgeable.
Melody sounds Melody Her vocals are insane
Great performance
Go check out their original "Nothing"...it's my favorite. The song features some great double bass drums segments. Liliac describes their style of rock as Vamp Metal (the Transylvania reference). I am 59 and die hard Dio fan. They fill that 80's rock void for me.
Im planning on catching them live a little later this year. This live version of Mars is one of my fvorites from them. I much prefer it to the album version
This was slightly older than Holy Diver. Ethan had just started playing the bass instead of Melody the singer. For a good journey of Melody's abilities, "Dear father" she does some operatic signing. A bit of throat singing in "Vertigo" Live 2021 Cumming, GA. Their cover of "Seven Nation Army" builds on how they are improving. Then, "Not Afraid" extended version. "Carousel" and "Somber Cry" are the newest. "Somber Cry" and a little older song "Sail Away" are ballads.
Enjoy Liliac and thank you for the reactions.
Thanks for reacting to my favorite band ❤Hope you Will try out Carousel or Not afraid extended version 👍
For LiLiac play list . Crazy Nights 🤘 Mystery 🤘 Dear Father 🤘 piece of My heart Janis Joplin 🤘👍👍
Not Afraid live extended version first then Carousel is from there new album Melody's vocal range will blow your mind in both. A fang 4 life.
Sam's guitar playing is off the charts
Not Afraid for sure!!!!
Thanks for detailing the reaction so much, because the fang reactions are boring in the long run 😅 I think next stop for you is "not afraid extended". An older song but you will see, the sky is the limit.........carousel is the new single, so we see where it goes. Greetz from Germany....
Sail Away is Liliac's rock ballad very good ❤ and Sam is a GOAT !! RORH keeping rock alive .
I discovered this band when a friend of mine Micheal Angelo Batio had Melody sing with him, Rudy and Vinnie. I to as a musician was blown away by the young talent.
The song they wrote you should review is "Sail Away" it shows their diverse style. You have heard the hard rock, now listen to their ballad.
The keyboardist, Justin, has graduated to a Keytar for their newest album. He plays it a little high up on his chest, but he gets it done. Ethan, the bass player, is getting down heavy on it much more now too, because they have Aiden Fisher, the stand-in guitarist for Stranger Things "Master of Puppets," as their touring rhythm guitarist now. The band and Aiden both live around the Atlanta area, and have become close friends. The touring drummer is gonna be a fill-in, because Abigail is pregnant and getting married soon or has already, and won't be able to tour with them this year.
Here is a link to their Master of Puppets cover live in 2022. You can see how much they have progressed even in three years. czcams.com/video/igsgjsCk16w/video.html
Not afraid extended version and carousel are both over the top awesome, hopefully they can remain independent and continue to grow in popularity without selling out
The Queen cover they did at this show is also awsome
Thanks guys for the great analysis video
They have grown so much...The new Madness album is very different but is excellent..The songs Carousel and Somber Cry are very, very good musically and lyrically.
Melissa Etheridge is exactly who I was thinking of before you said it. It's the rawness in the voice. But still, Melody is unique.
You're right again. Aby on the drums often sets the tone. She's usually just pounding the hell out of her kit and singing and smiling and throwing that hair everywhere, but there are some songs where the game face comes along for the ride and she's looks deadly serious and incredibly intense (and still kicks the hell out of her kit). She's a lot of fun to watch, and in the light drum segments she's twirling her sticks or pointing to whoever's about to solo or do something big. Love to watch her play!
they also covered Janis Joplin Piece of my heart at this concert
Justin on keys has gradually taken a bigger role as he's grown up, and plays a pretty big part in several of their originals. He's using a keytar quite a bit now (as he does in the Carousel vid) so I expect to see keys out front even more for them.
I don't think that they are anti-record contracts, just anti-bad record deals. They were offered a record deal after they appeared on the World's Best, but they would have had to sign over 80% (this percent may have been even higher) the profits. Papa Liliac says they will sign a contract when they find a label that will look out for their best interest too.
She also has a Bonnie Raitt quality as well. Her voice is made for this type of rock like a cross between 80's 90's and a hint of 70's. I actually am going to see Liliac on October 26th, in the Cincinnati area, just north about 20 minutes. I am actually excited to check them out. Very rarely am I excited for a smaller band, Meaning a band playing smaller venues. This venues probably maxes capacity at 800 or less, and that might be stretching it. Anyway the show should be good as they seem to sound good live in videos.
I became an instant fan from hearing holy diver
Same concert..she did Janis Joplin and Freddy Mercury....LIVE
Abigail Cristea and Steve Morse are the two most consistently happy musicians I've ever had the pleasure to see live. Carousel would be a great next choice, or you could go way back and do Dancing In the Dark, Chain Of Thorns (both originals, with Melody on bass), Crazy Train (this one is live on, I believe, the Santa Monica Pier), or the song that brought most of us to the band for the first time, Enter Sandman (choose their official cover music video for this one).
Sail away was awesome.
They've never sounded better than they did here.
Back and forth is the best; original, cover, original, etc Listen to their LIVE "Master Of Puppets" Ft. Aidan Fisher from Strange Things
Chris. You nailed the Melissa Etheridge voice. She’s gifted with the tone. And the band’s not much without her. She has a long career ahead of her as long as she stays healthy.
Sail Away and Somber Cry are great, and very different ballad-styles. Mars is still my favorite, but Carousel is off the hook good!
she sounds like the mythical child born to dio and janis joplin. wendy dio asked the father to do a cover of THE LAST IN LINE.. for the CANCER CONCERT FOR DIO,. father liliac did the video and sent it to her. it got played..... vince appice helped wendy with the selection. vince calls her melodia
LoL 😂😂😂 they aging themselves by doing the old fashion duet intro . LoL
She does have some Etheridge in there, for sure. Melody's voice sounds like a lot of people... in bits and pieces. "Oh, when she does that she sounds like Joplin" or "Joan Jett" or "Dio" or... well, let's just say her voice is VERSATILE, which is why she's so successful doing such a variety of covers. She doesn't sound exactly like anyone else, but there are times when she sounds a lot like some well known singers, either because she's duplicating the sound for a solid cover, or because the sound is really fitting for the original they're doing. The fact that she can do so much with her voice, and sound so good doing all of it, is what makes her special. Not very many singers can go from a vibrating, growling low to a damned near glass shattering high in the space of about two seconds, but she does it like it's nothing.
JANIS JOPLIN!!!!! RORH FANG FOREVER!!!!!
In this performance Melody sounds a lot like Bonnie Tyler…
If she sounds like anybody other than herself, she favors Janice Joplin.
Not Afraid extended version
More LILIAC please!
I think with Liliac there's really no order to follow. It's not like The Warning and Queen of the murder scene, where's there's a story. You should check The Official Dio tribute cover video of "THE LAST IN LINE" Melody's voice is crazy good.. Liliac needs more professionally shot live shows like the Cumming Georgia gig.. MELODY singing JOPLIN'S PIECE OF MY HEART. CUMMING GEORGIA 2019 is excellent."FANG 🤟🎶☮️"
"Liliac needs more professionally shot live shows like the Cumming Georgia gig"
That would go a long way as they are amazing Live.
@@jonathanwatson5818 yes they are awesome live...
Sam has the Van Halen effect going on and Melody is Janis Joplin
Sam in this solo is a Paul Gilbert fan... this is Sam's own take or version of a Paul Gilbert solo with Mr. Big.... :)
If you want to hear her high voice check out, not afraid it’ll knock you in the next week
It's human nature to compare Melody with every other raspy voiced singer and as you say every voice is individual but Melody's is totally unique ,once you've listened to a few of Liliac's songs you will instantly recognise that it's them playing and her singing .your analysis of the independent versus a mainstream music industry contract is valid , but Liliac is fiercely independent and although they lack the help of corporate promotion they are slowly but surely performing their way the top . They have been offered a contract so disadvantageous monetarily to them (a 5 yr contract with a 99/1% split) which in anyone's understanding is criminal and unethical . By staying independent they can control every thing , their creativity , their promotion ,their distribution , their tours , their concerts and their merchandise, all while retaining the bulk ov their earnings . The music industry is littered with acts that have been exploited, manipulated, mismanaged and ripped off financially and loss of intellectual property . All of which is my long winded way of saying that they should stay independent , they have a bright future doing what they are doing and time is on their side . Now after all that rambling i would suggest you check out their their tribute covers of Metallicas MASTER OF PUPPETS and Whitestripes SEVEN NATION ARMY , and their original songs NOT AFRAID and CAROUSEL all will show you the the evolution off their undeniable talent and have you looking for more Liliac performances FANG4LIFE RORH
She sounds like Ronny James Dio 🤯🔥🔥🔥
I like Madness with Liliac ❤
The opening solo was reminiscent of Van Halen's Eruption.
Janice Joplin or Pat Benator! She does their songs as well, and sounds fantastic :)
...and the young Lisa Kudrow on drums :-))))
Not Afraid extended Version or Carousel
Sam can play how are they not signed yet
Sounds like Eddie and Eruption live
Sam has a good voice and does a lot of their background singing (the others may sing along some as well, but he's usual the only one miked! 😆).
Liliac original song Somber Cry and also check out Sail Away
Carousel is their latest and climbing fast for number of views.
That didn’t age well. Almost four months in and barely 300k views.
P.S. Dany from the Warning has hurt herself and they are cancelling some of their tour.
Welcome to the party.
Sometimes I think I hear a little Janis Joplin in her voice. Smiles 😃 from 🇨🇦
Grace Slick, Janis Joplin and BethHart
These kids are having a Fun! Metal living!!!!
