British guitarist analyses Liliac's LIVE TV performance on 'World's Best'

[@stevenhall8964]

These kids are one of the best things to happen to Rock & Roll in decades!! Another truly inspiring breath of fresh air is the Warning!! I'm glad you mentioned them, they along with Liliac are the absolute shining stars of music!!!

[@figuresix]

These guys are the first band thats given me goosebumps when i hear them since the 80s

[@Guardducks]

Did those vocals just come out of a16 yr old? The power of her vocals is amazingly strong .

[@butterflyforeve]

Go to their youtube channel she has been singing like that since like 11. She is a powerhouse, but Samuel the lead guitarist has amazing vocals as well.

[@YouTube.Algorithmic.Nonsense]

Yes, yes they did.

Just saw them in Louisville, the sound equipment was bad at times but that’s TOTALLY her. ✝️

[@raymondschoonover528]

Will they ever come and play Nashville? I hope so; they are absolutely amazing. Would make a huge splash as an opening act for Journey, Bon Jovi, Areosmith, etc.. Think of the exposure.

Just saw this band last night in Fort Worth, TX and they were amazing. It was an incredible feeling being able to see live music again after a year of lockdowns.

2 of my favorite bands in the last 4 years are The Warning and Liliac both groups are very talented young musicians . I would love to see both of them live soon . I am a Patreon for both of these groups. The Main stream music biz sucks right now. Its all manufactured autotuned crap. Both the warning and Liliac are old school hard rock.

These kids are phenomenal.. I really love watching them..

[@joemusic2882]

Once again you are spot on! Liliac is from the Los Angeles area as am I. I’ve seen them perform live one warm sunny day on the Santa Monica pier at Santa Monica beach in California. I couldn’t believe they were actually there playing. I can tell you this for sure....they are a tight hard rock band that performs best live. And, to talk with them in person they are funny, friendly and gracious as can be and truly appreciate their fans.

[@wingsofpegasus]

Cool!

[@thelastperfectman4139]

Ronnie James Dio had IMO the most powerful voice in heavy metal--and this girl can actually hold her own on this Dio song. Impressive. Family bands are always gimmicky, but this family band have serious talent and play as a tight unit.

Hey, Wings of Pegasus, we've traded comments before on KZbin. I can't believe I just discovered Liliac today. I did a little research and discovered they spent years basically busking on the Santa Monica Pier. Dangit, who knew? I used to hang out at the Santa Monica Pier listening to music at Santa Monica's Thursday night Summer Twilight Concert Series 30-34 years ago! CAN THESE KIDS ROCK, OR WHAT??

They also do awesome versions The Trooper and Enter Sandman on the pier. Talented young band deserving of widespread attention. Thanks for promoting them and the channels of the bands.

[@axisdeerhunting]

You nailed it big time. Exactly what I thought when it was aired live watching the band. The thing about them is that they put so much energy into the looks & movement. They just need time & perfection and tighter then after signing a big contract then do whatever they want. They’ve got the potential but need time. Yes on bringing back pure no computerized adding at all. Zero. Just the instruments and the voices. It is lost in today’s world for sure. It makes things too easy when we as the listeners and buyers of music that are old school. For me it was the 70’s & early 80’s. Then in the late 80’s & 90’s it started going down hill. Real Music played by talented artist is what I want to listen to.

[@jondougherty1114]

When I hear melody it honestly floors me...I hear lizzy hale and the lead of "In this Moment"...so powerful it's like it's two voices at the same time...you hear the sharpness of her voice but there's a background roar in her voice....

They actually did! But before the NAMM show, at a cookout hosted by a big TW fan in Claremont at his home. And Liliac was supposed to have come to the Whisky show but for whatever reason, scheduling didn't allow it. They are big fans of TW and vice versa. It's pretty cool to see the grass roots bands lifting each other up.

Love CDs, but live performances are fantastic. My grandfather used to go to Harlem and listen to Billie Holiday. My father loved Jazz, but also John Denver because he used to go watch him play when he was younger. Liliac is one of the few bands that brings back the era to me. Great group.

This was a great review of Liliac and I love the ones you did of The Warning, both these groups give me real hope that Rock will live on and actually get better.

[@christineschmidt8494]

Great comments Fil, totally agree with you! Dennis here again. What got me to LILIAC in the first place was there live performances on the Santa Monica pier. They were just doing covers, but I thought to myself that I could see " somethings " in these kids that was " different " from other cover bands that I liked. And about 8 months later they came out with their own music. I actually thought,for a group of kids that they played really tight,which was one of the reasons that I had asked you to at least give them a look. It sounds like I wasn't the only one to suggest them and that's even better !
