Wendy Dio ask them to do this for the fundraiser and they had one week to do it and it turned out awesome! Thanks again for the great reactions, I love it when the reactors are actually loving the music and not putting on an act. Stay safe. Fang4Life!!!

Clint, you rawwwk!! Thx Texan for this reaction. Ooooo when you paused it on Justin, his hair was flying.....it looked so cool. Sorry I'm into photography. ha Texan, check out this: Dio - The Last in Line [Live at The Spectrum 1984]

When Melody unleashes her inner Dio , look out ! They were given this song to perform by Wendy Dio ! They had one week to learn it and have the video done for the benefit . 🤘

Try and tell me that wasn't the best tribute cover of DIO you've ever heard . You are correct the bass is prevalent throughout the song along with double kick bass drums , Justin complements with his keys and of course Sam kills his version of the solo . You are also correct that Melody is channelling RJ Dio in her performance . Like you I wasn't familiar with the original so I checked it out and was blown away with Liliac's interpretation of it . Goodonya Clint for requesting the song , as us Aussies say , you little rippa . Fang4life RORH

Awesome !

If anyone wants to see a band do a proper tribute to another artist, that person should watch this version of LAST IN LINE by LILIAC. You finally got to see Sam play a solo "with a few more bars" and everyone else in LILIAC just nailing their parts...including Justin, who has a very prominent role in this song. And best of all, MeloDia not only delivered superb vocals but her hand and arm gestures just brought the lyrics to life in 3D. And to make extra sure that everyone was aware of what this tribute was for, it debuted on Ronnie's birthday on July 10th, during a livestream in the afternoon (using this music video) and then again to end their show, LILIAC premiered LAST IN LINE live.

I think Melodia would consider that the greatest compliment. Like I said I contend this is their best cover. Keep'em coming! Great reaction.

[@davidej3]

You should check out Liliac doing Enter Sandman as well as Rock and Roll All Night. They do an excellent job.

[@paulmendenhall5226]

By far the best song they do and the best to ever copy the grate R.J.D. one day they will be in the hall of fame just glad to see they didn't sell out to simon

[@jonathanwatson5818]

Sam nailing the solo, Melody nailing the vocals and hand gestures of her idol, Justin making those keys sing, Abigail and Ethan just chilling and doing their thing to perfection. No wonder Wendy Dio personally asked them to do this and that Vinny Appice (Dios former drummer) gave them a never before released extended version of this track and has said Melody reminds him of a reincarnated female Ronnie James Dio. Lzzy Hale of Halestorm even dropped into the Live Chat to exclaim over Melody's vocals.

[@hookster8179]

This version had never been heard before, thanks to Vinne the world gets to hear Dio's other version.

[@diedregerick1438]

So true

[@warhammer5690]

#Fang4Life, RORH, and here we go!!!!!!

[@cristyrawks6325]

Hey Texan, Friday nights are Papa Liliac's LIVESTREAM and we are wanting Reactors to come on Live to talk to Papa about your Liliac reactions. I'll get you the link if interested.

[@ringmoen1]

Amazing cover.The female version of Dio.❤

[@combatveteranusnavy2012]

Yes, Ethan is making his mark on this one.

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

This song is literally the title track to Dio's 2nd album "The Last in Line" from 1984. Look up the original video by Dio from that era.

[@russpendergraft5057]

Love this cover! MELODY IS ABSOLUTE FYRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LILIAC HAS COME A LONG WAY FROM THE TIME THIS WAS MADE!!! IF YOU CAN, WOULD YOU DO MORE OF THIER MUSIC PLEASE??? THIS FELLOW TEXAN WOULD BE REALLY GRATEFUL!!! Thanks much from the Dallas area!!!!

[@tomdodds8091]

This is a Dio song, and Wendy Dio asked them to do it for the benefit. Vinny Appice liked it so much he gave Mel the nickname MeloDio, and he and his current group Sabbath Knights have done some collaborations with her.

[@tomdodds8091]

In the earlier tunes you reacted to, Ethan was new to the bass and Melody did a great job teaching him, but I'm guessing they may have let him be in the background a little just to take some of the pressure off. He's really mastered that beast now, and he's getting a lot more chances to stand out. And, yes, Mel is excellent at channeling RJD.

[@mikecullers]

It's a cover of the Dio song.

[@rockett68601]

how do you not know DIO?
