Songs and Thongs reacts to Liliac's Symphony of Destruction!

[@9999watts]

I had the privilege of seeing them in Ft. Worth Texas on Friday. They opened with Symphony and the entire concert was phenomenal!!! I look so forward to seeing them again!!!

[@douglastong3208]

SYMPHONY OF DESTRUCTION has such a great groove, and it's even better when LILIAC opens with this, as they sometimes did on their current tour. It IS a perfect song for listening to in the car. Great reaction! Glad you're back!!

[@jonathanc8560]

Yay!!! Thanks for more Liliac you two beautiful humans!!!

[@skhotaling]

What a great way to kick off your release from a forced hiatus!! Always a gift to hear Liliac and a greater gift to hear it along with you. Love your reactions!!

[@randylavallee7267]

Good to have you young people back.....and as usual great, great reaction to the family called LILIAC. Just my opinion but they did justice to this song and then some. Hope everything is all fixed up and hope to see you young people soon with more Liliac music.!!! Cheers!!

[@tonygamble6414]

These kids are fricking awesome and in my book they NAILED it! I am so glad we have kids like this who are the next generation of metal

[@stevebondeson2852]

I love your Liliac reactions ! They just continue to amaze me with how they crush everything they do !

[@terryhoobler8921]

Love the new intro. Thank goodness y'all are Okay and back. Almost forgotten the excitement and positivity you bring to reactions. I too believe Ethan's bass and Aby's drums are really working together for the lifebeats of the Videos. Great Reactions. Welcome back!

[@mickeymayfield4192]

they just opened for slaughter over the weekend and it was a awesome show from what ive seen being released by the fans, they will be in 2 major festivals coming up, rocklahoma and monsters on the mountain

Also glad that Dad is keeping them from the corporate world. We know it's brutal, yeah?

These guys are amazing for being as young as they are. They have a lot of fun with what they are doing! Love it

[@mikegershon8528]

Awesome reaction and so glad you are back. I am an old guy who has been listening to rock from the beginning when I was 4. I have been wracking my brain to give my friends an idea of Melody's vocals, and the best I can come up with is Janis Joplin + Dio on steroids! Man that young lady can sing, and the whole band rocks. I love Abigail's work on the drums. Its tight and understated. She never goes off and tries to make the song about her playing like some drummers can do. ( I know a little bit about this because I played professionally and have been a drummer for some 61 years. ) The sky is the ceiling for these young folks; they are fantastic.

[@kclone1960]

Welcome back! You were missed. Love your Liliac reactions!

[@kennethdixson9561]

Welcome back! Loved those out takes at the end and your beautiful pic you took of her around a week ago. I knew you'd love this one. Was surprised about so long, however now we know. Love it when you get excited. Is there a Mystery coming? Hope so. You haven't done originals in awhile. This song really grew on me. Did you realize that Ethan plays a 5 string bass? Think it's why you hear the hard hitting pedal type tones that drive this song. I'm not a guitar guy. Missed you all to. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🤘🦇

[@randysimmons533]

Welcome back. Sure have missed seeing you both. So glad you opened back up with Liliac. Great reaction to a great cover ! Hope all is well with you both. Be safe.

Great reaction. I will be having Liliac on my Podcast show very soon. It's in the works. I'll also be seeing them LIVE in concert this winter when they come to my city.

WOW! WOW! WOW! My favorite reaction couple from South Africa :) I was starting to get worried and was just about ready to send a search/rescue party to look for you two. I am really bias towards LILIAC so I mostly only tune in to reaction videos that do LILIAC and was so excited when I saw your name next to this reaction of Symphony of Destruction. I hope you do more LILIAC soon. Not sure if you have done the video for their song "Mystery", if not please do that one sometime in the near future... Thank You!

They reacted to "Sail Away" just after this reaction and will release that soon.

Harry and Sharlene, you two are absolutely my favorite KZbin reactors! I see the same excitement in both of you when doing a Liliac reaction as I get watching you do it! I was so frustrated not seeing a reaction from you for SOD. I looked everyday waiting to see it but I sure was happy about 15 minutes ago when I finally saw it!! I'll excuse your delay this time but dont let it happen again! Whats a little power outage and pandemic? 😜...Keep up the great work and btw Sharlene your photos are stunning and Im ready to get my tats now thanks to you!! Lol

Listening to songs like this while driving tends to cause roadside meetings with the constabulary, but this song might be worth it.

[@kennethv5250]

the solo in this song is considered by many the most difficult solo written and sam nails it

[@tomwareham7944]

Have been waiting for your reaction, didn't know you were having problems down in S.A but I'm glad your both o k well Sharlene at least just kidding .I truly have been waiting and wondering what was going on . As soon as they released this song I knew you guys would love it . Now do their other release Mystery which is also a killer . The quality of this video is fangtastic considering they made it for no money in an unfinished basement . Glad your safe! now , as us Aussie's say get your finger out and start reacting to more liliac . Fang4life Rock on and rock hard

[@mickeymayfield4192]

maybe check out the cristeas thats what liliac were known as when they were little kids, there are several videos of the 3 oldest kids singing and one where they are dancing to thriller, oh and sam can really sing very well

Good to have you back. Excellent reaction.

[@joeparker9516]

Just thought this idea up: My job in the US Navy was to maintain maintenance records on squadron aircraft, so I had to be extra organized. Because of that, this idea hit me one afternoon while watching reaction videos... Reactors Info Book... this may help to organize your listening/viewing schedule a little better: Notebook, dividers, and paper. Band name for each, Do one division for each band you react to. First section in a division are the character sheets: Name of performer and as much personal information as you are able to get. Instrument: Lead Guitar, Rhythm Guitar, Bass, Drums/percussion, Keyboards, Other; Or Vocals: Lead, 2nd lead, backing, occasional. Section two: Songs/? you have already reacted to or critiqued and the date. Section three: Requests that have not been fulfilled. Section 4: Calendar by week, here is where you schedule those requests that have not yet been covered. Inside the front cover is your master calendar, where you schedule all your upcoming reactions for the next year. It's just an idea, and yes, it could be done on a computer using a good scheduling program. Keep up the 'Phenomenal' (thanks Harry) work guys, y'all are still my #1 favorites. Rinse and repeat.. lol.

[@MooreCEJr]

Great reaction your crazy couple. Liliac hit his one out of the park even with a little flavor OF their own. Noticed Sam and Ethan switched sides for playing in this video. :) Until the next reaction... :)

[@joshuaburba1048]

They've also switched sides at their live concerts, and now perform where you see them in this video. Not sure why, but it's kind of cool.

[@cristyrawks6325]

@@joshuaburba1048 I posted in one of their videos a couple weeks ago asking about the change of sides and why that happened and so far nobody has posted why other than an opinion that maybe Sam was too active and was too close to Justin. ???? Who knows. Maybe you can find out Joshua.

[@gmantw]

@@cristyrawks6325 Papa Liliac said it was a decision based on a couple things. Putting the two younger boys together fit better, and Sam moves around from side to center stage during each song, as where the boys do not. Since this move, the boys now have a song intro to themselves, and share the spotlight together. Then there was something about the audio mix with harmonies that Sam & Melody do. Not sure about the details on that one yet.

[@cristyrawks6325]

@@gmantw You so rawk my dude!! ha I knew one of you would have the answer and it makes so much sense. I saw the short intro Ethan and Justin did on one of the LIVE vids, it'll get better. I also just saw a LIVE last night where Sam and Ethan played face to face at the end of the song, which was insanely good and then Melody came through the two guitars in a flourish of drama. I LOOOOVED IT!!! Thanks Gman for the answer. As for the harmonies, yeah that one really bugs me being a singer since childhood and doing harmonies with my sisters and into adulthood with other singers. His mic simply needs to be turned up a tad so he can blend better. You all rawk and I'm so glad to be part of such a great group of people. Some aren't so nice but I'm used to that having been in the music world for so long, but most of you are really awesome. #RORH

I think they should all wear fake fangs.

Love you guys, stay safe and healthy, and I am always watching for your reviews. Sharlene, you always look beautiful to me. (Note: incurable flirt from Tennessee)

[@dariengoodwin]

Liliac is Romanian for "bat" (of any variety).

[@joshuaburba1048]

Hey Joe, fellow Tennessean here (Nashville myself, what about you?). One small correction: Liliac is Romanian for Lily, the flower (its primary usage), and also for bat (it's secondary usage), but not vampire bat. Have a good one sir.

[@scottss64]

Everyone else has the incredible voice and skills of the band covered, so I will comment on something COMPLETELY different, I occasionally become a darn cradle robber of sorts completely unintentionally, Melody with her hair fixed and she's growling makes me go ”MRowwlll!" I predict that as Liliac becomes a worldwide supergroup, Melody will become a sex goddess as well, poster hanging on millions of walls like Lita Ford way back when.

[@ttrails1]

If you didn't know, a lot of what the background video contains things they are interested in outside of music. Melody paints, Sam is into video editing, Ethan gaming, Justin comedy and card tricks and not real sure there with Abigail. Maybe modeling? Fashion? She made me think of a marionette though.
