[@fredbarnes2049]

No lie indeed! And let's not forget Ethan on bass. I've only been following the band about 6 months, but because of the pandemic the releases slowed down. The good thing about that is you can compare their skill from Queen of Hearts to Master and Symphony,and now this. They've gone from exceptionally good to truly great and world class. Take a bow young men for your talent and all the effort that took. Bravo!

Tonight I was walking through a park here in Michigan at 3:00 A.M. on a hot and Misty August night. I like to walk in silence...and sometimes a song will pop into my head. Tonight...Dio's "Last In Line" flowed into my mind. So, when I got home...I was going to listen to Dio's version on KZbin. But instead, I discovered a kick ass fuckin' band called "Liliac"!!! These young Superstars blew my head off!!! I'm 56...and I've been playing distorted jazz/ rock electric guitar player since I was 11. The singer is EPIC... The drummer is INTENSE... The guitar player is OUTSTANDING... MY GOD...RONNIE WOULD HAVE LOOOOOOVED THIS!!! PEACE

As for Ethan bass/Justin keys, for awhile I've felt a little bad for them, because Melody, Sam and Abigail cast such massive shadows; it would be rough to be growing underneath them. But lately they are both starting to shine through more; this Last in Line, and the Master of Puppets we can hear how they both are indeed coming into their own and may well wind up at Geezer Butler/Jon Lord levels if they keep up the work.

And that my friends, is how a tribute performance is done! No need to add anything, the song is already perfect. Great job!

[@robertakers8781]

Ronnie would be fucking proud as hell

[@mikefelssr1024]

I must say , i've listen to some of your cover songs , and all of you rock , the harmony , honesty and overall love your band has is so wholesome , whatever you guys do , it will turn gold , from the lead vocals , the rhythm and lead guitars , the keyboard , and of course the bad ass drummer and bassist , you all rock

[@kcm731k]

When the song starts off soft she sings it beautifully with the extra long kind stare into the camera before she let's her voice rip..was perfect gave me chills..also guitarist really came into his own on this for me..played it perfectly but added his own touches with out watering it down..great job liliac

[@ChaChingDream]

Sam, man you got that one down. Way to lay down those licks.. Thank you for keeping Rock alive! The Best family in rock!

[@WhatDayIsItTrumpDay]

Rock (and Metal) never died. It just went to KZbin. No seriously...when MTV decided in 1994 that no one wanted to listen to rock anymore and just pumped Hip Hop and Grunge into everybody's ears it made it feel like rock was dead. But it wasn't. It just went to Europe and Florida (death metal scene). And then MySpace came around in the early 2000s and it allowed bands to post their music within the embedded music player, but then KZbin popped up a few years later and the rest is history. I hear what you're saying, but everytime I hear "[So and so] is keeping rock alive." I just have to think/say that it never died, people just didn't know where to look for a while there in the 90s.

[@limyookyoong1079]

Somewhere up in heaven, Ronnie James Dio is smiling! ❤❤❤

[@iamnoone9041]

You guys have absolutely done Ronnie and the rest of the band very proud!! You guys are so amazing!! Thank you for all the hard work you must put into all of this!

[@lincoln3307]

Melody's hair is AMAZING!!!!

[@paulstranskyiii5079]

If you guys just exclusively did Dio covers, I'd be okay with that.

[@Champion_Aquatics]

Nah... the original stuff is way to good.

[@schaferhundschmidt1798]

Me, too, but I'm glad they don't. Their other covers are great also, and as Randy said, the originals are even better!

[@charlesronk2989]

I love their Crazy Train. It is my favorite of theirs.

[@egidiofioravanti634]

tomorrow is the 13° th year without Ronnie James🙏🏻play for him.

[@atcred3]

I have been playing guitar since i was 12..i am 53 now..i have many MANY guitars...and i gotta say...THAT SOLO?...WAS DEAD ON MAN!!!!..PERFECT!!!!!!

[@ManekiNeko1972]

I know that Melody likes to mimic a lot of artists but when she does Ronnie James Dio, you can see she has just a little bit more oomph and that's what makes her amazing. The entire band is awesome.

[@davidlocklear8738]

Melody discovered Ronnie James Dio at the tender age of 15 and lost Her fricking mind. She fell in love with his voice his mannerism his style on stage. Swiftly kicked her little brother Eathen off rythem guitar and taught him all the base lines to their songs. Eathen plays rythem, lead, base and mandolin guitars. He is a BADASS.

[@edwardcouvertier6734]

This band never disappoints, it's just straight up ass kickin rock and roll,long live LILIAC.

[@blssod7212]

I was a bit skeptical at first but I love when things pick up how this young lady channels her inner Dio and the guitar player pretty much nails the solo. You can tell they all feel it and it's real, just like Dio. Didn't matter if it was in front of 15K people or 150 in a bar somewhere. Bravo!

[@davidcook9662]

The most talent ive ever seen from one family

[@rknissel]

Melody just gets better every song she brings back to life......

[@BradentonSlick]

This cover was well chosen by the Band. Dio used an organ player instead of a rhythm guitar. So does Liliac. And OMG Melody fits RJD's style to a T. I gotta say the close ups of Melody's face highlighted her eyes, giving them an almost hypnotic quality.

[@johncowieson3468]

I’m 52 from Canada. I was in my 20’s when I first herd Dio’s music. Bought all of Ronnie’s albums bc I loved it so much!! Last in line is my favourite!! Liliac, you nailed this song perfectly!! I’ve seen alot of your videos and I had to let you know that you haven’t gone unnoticed around the world. Unbelievable how perfect every instrument is right on key. Drums, keyboards, both guitars, and lyrics. What makes a band playing instruments with skill to perfection a successful band? A front lead singer to enhance it with body language and compassion for the music you’re all playing… just like Ronnie James Dio did with every band he was in!!!! Liliac, you amaze me! Hope you become successful!! 🤘

[@keithtracy8621]

This girl and all band members are awesome I'm blown away with her voice.They are bad ass

[@7thkansascav468]

I was hoping you'd do this! The intensity in Melody's eyes was almost scary, LOVED IT!!! ❤❤❤

[@Straight0uttaCrofton]

also her fangs

[@megadezziescat1124]

Couldn't take my eyes off her as she sang.

[@donaldstein3851]

It's been fun to watch the evolution of Liliac over the past ten years. They are all truly talented and they have much to be proud of. That's it. No ifs, ands, buts or caveats. They are just that good.

[@geegee2day602]

Melody is definitely the last Dio in the shop. Hope he can hear her. Righteous.

[@jordandimarzio6322]

Proof that legends never die \m/ good music is eternal

[@arlinwright1819]

My GAWD Sam your killin it! Last in Line is one of my fav's and you guys nailed it. Great Job!!!

[@bernieminet]

Guitar solo was incredibly insane and on point. Bass sound was fantastic, keys filled the rhythm perfectly, drums hit hard and nobody....nobody is going to match that voice. You guys should even have well established mainstream bands turning their heads. Freaking awesome.

[@cyberrich]

I listened to live stream all comments were shocked including big names.

[@davidlocklear8738]

So AMAZING. Dio will live on in our memories and hearts more often thanks to You Liliac. Your band is rock history already.

[@shananagans5]

Years ago, mid 80s, we went to see Dio at Tingley in New Mexico. There was a long twisting line to get in. My friends and I started singing "we're the last in line" and immediately everyone else at the back of the line joined in. About 30 mins later we were at the front of the line, about to get in, and the people at the end of the line were still singing "we're the last in line" It was hilarious.

[@429robs]

GEEEEEZZUSSSSSS... I haven't heard that in years. You guys are just insane, holy crap! Best cover I've heard period! It's up there with Disturbed doing Sounds of Silence.

[@daviddarrh1610]

Listen to there version of holy diver best cover I've heard

[@redeyedrednek]

You mentioned Disturbed so your comment is invalid.

[@daviddarrh1610]

[@jtinnac1895]

They get it. The level of conviction here is perfect. Any RJD material deserves nothing less than utmost and they nailed it.

[@arkangel7j]

aaaaand she nailed that 1st big high note , set the the tone for the rest of the song ;)

[@joelbergkvist9134]

I think when Ronnie James Dio passed away he’s soul went right in to this woman. God damn what a cover! 🤘🏻🤘🏻

[@donaldthomas7753]

Ronnie was a great friend to many of us in Up-State New York. He went to Waverly High School and many of us watched him from back in those days. Great tribute to RJD.
