We love you Papa! You have done a wonderful job with your children. I have been following the band for several years. There has been so much growth in their talent and abilities. They amaze me! They give me hope for the future of Rock & Roll. Love the new song, Delusion!
I don't know why anyone would dislike you. You and your whole family are some of the nicest, hard working families I have ever met. People spout off the mouth that know nothing! And yes!! PASSION rules the game!! Music is life!! 💜🤘🔥🎶
papa don't let one bad apple speak for all , no apology needed for greatness, still on the liliac band wagon you are all still in a league of awesomeness , still in for the long hull
Florin you are the best choice for managing Liliac, your children. You, and your family are great people. Don't worry about the haters and the so called expert opinions. I for one will always be a fang for life. RORH.
Florin your simply the best. I'm a huge fan of Liliac from Pennsylvania. I was just wondering how Abigail is doing? Like to see her beautiful smile behind the drums again. Thanks for everything you do for your children.
Your words say it all, I love the band, and family. I am new here, I just started following Liliac's journey in the music. And I love it, and thank you, Melody, for the hand-painted guitar starting guitar lessons in a few weeks!
I don't know why anyone would hate you, or even dislike you..I think you are a great father, and you have your family's best interest at heart. People will always find something to complain about. But let all that roll off. I think you and your family are amazing, and I've been following Liliac for several years now, and am a huge fan. Keep rocking on, and rock hard!!🤘🦇🤘
Papa Liliac............... Bad Boyz song OH MY GOD!!!!!! I LOVE IT, LOVE IT!!!! SO SO much personality in this band. The band gets a straight 10 out of 10 on this one !!!!!!!! LOVE IT!!!!!
Papa don't worry about the haters. You are the best thing for Liliac. Mate you and the band . In Greenville, S.C yall are awesome in person. We Fangs have your back. Love all of yall. A fang 4 life. RORH.
Us real fangs love ❤️ papa and mama liliac, if it wasn't for your hard work and perseverance, we would not have the band liliac. You 2 have given them a great example of how to succeed.
Papa America is a great country but many in this country are spoiled jealous lazy whiners. Stay strong and manage your amazing family. Please don’t let record executives ruin what you’ve built. And by the way I’m a huge southern rock fan and looking forward to that music style. God Bless!
Hey Florin. Chin up. We all get burned out at times. I champion 3 bands different genres from different countries. I found something special that my soul tells me I must support. Liliac was my 2nd band. Now that the band is getting older, there will be growing pains. Like you said a few years ago, you are more established and should not get a pay cut. Right now all Liliac creativeness is there's. Not a lable. My 3rd Band has a lable, however all they do as far as I can see is distribute their music. Most part they behave independently. I know they must do more, I have asked the band before. I was a OTR for over 25 years and had to take myself out. I'm so glad I'm able to support my bands again. Momma metchoned to me that you drove in Oregon, so why not you drive and where the hats you need to and be with your children. Don't read the haters. I don't have time anymore to acknowledge them. Not worth your time my friend. People don't know that you are a good person and have done me a favor I asked for a friend. My young friend what makes Liliac so special to me, been trying to support close to 5 years now, is along with the talent you all are family and Liliac is a family affair. I am so happy and grateful that you are coming to Spokane. As soon as I can buy tickets I'll make sure I get them for my wife and I, she still thinks I'm crazy. I will make sure I will get the meet and greets so I can shake everyone's hand I've been emailing and texting. Just keep your chin up and not listen to the haters. You do not need to explain yourself to the Fangs. Sorry. Oldman rant. Peace. Stay safe. God Speed. FANG 4 LIFE! RORH 🍻❤️🌹🤘🦇
You have helped these kids develop into world class musicians. They would not be what they are today if you had not been there to help them. Why would anyone complain about your role in the band today? On top of this you are their father, which I would think means you would be far less likely to screw them over than the standard industry "professionals". We've all heard the stories of how this worked out for bands like CCR.
Florin you are an incredible manager in my opinion. I used to promote local bands here in Maryland and Delaware for 27 yrs. I know how the music life is. Keep on doing what you do. You are doing a fine job. Keep your chin up. We all have haters believe me I know. I love your kids and am proud to be a FANG FOR LIFE. I had the honor of seeing them for the first time at Rams Head On Stage in ANNAPOLIS, MD July 7, 2023. Please come back to ANNAPOLIS.
I am honored to be your friend Florin. You and your families friendship to my wife and I mean so much to the both of us! We love everything you do. Do not ever change a thing. Those haters.......they know where they can go!
You talked about "metal country"... Check out some of blacktop Mojo's music... Kinda metal/blues/southern rock... They've mixed them together successfully! I love Liliac! Thank you for existing!
Hey Papa, aka(Florin Cristea) Don't let anyone get you down. We all know what good father, manager, producer, and good man you are. Liliac is more than just music. It's good magic. Anyone that doesn't like you is just JEALOUS ! True fans have your back, my brother. Rock On and Rock Hard. God Bless The Cristea Family!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hiya Papa, not sure I can say anything that hasn't already been said here. But I have loved the band and your family for years. Way back I remember saying that you guys should stay independent, and man some people came at me with so much anger and hate. It was just my opinion, maybe right, maybe not. I'm not any kind of expert, just a fang who wants the best for you all. I had planned on seeing you guys every time you came to Ohio. But I still haven't been able to, about the time you guys started touring, I fell and hit my head really hard, and now I'm not able to work, and social security disability does not pay well at all! I'm grateful for what I do get and for what I have, but it is a struggle every month. I see you guys are coming to Lakewood, Ohio which is the closest you've been to where I live, but I still can't come and see you. So I will just say have a great tour and rock on and rock hard!
I thank you. I think you're amazing Papa. A good father too! Much love to you all. Raising a family of five exemplary talented intelligent people and keeping it all together so well says mountains about Mr. and Mrs Cristea. You have to protect your family too. I believe you have done the right thing because the entertainment industry is exploitive and you keep the family together because that "traffiking" goes on in entertainment industry there are stories about it and it's pretty disturbing what has been done to young stars.. Thank you for not putting your beautiful family through that- and giving them the creative choice. And most of all safety of parents who put them first. 🙏Much Respect!! Maybe things will roll smoother now the youngest are nearing adult age. No one wants their work to get owned by a corporation conglomerate making you do things you don't want to do. Looking forward to new song next week!! RORH!!
You should definitely manage the band. Nobody else has the passion and understanding for Liliac. You could benefit from an outside producer or songwriter. Not that there is anything wrong. But it can be helpful to add outside perspectives. As for the record label, I'm not so sure. A lot of bands get lost in labels. As you indicated, you need to be one of the very few artists that the labels are willing to push.
Florin, the video was called "Huge Announcement", but I didn't hear any announcement huge or otherwise. This makes me less likely to click on your videos in the future if I think the title is just clickbait.
@@papaliliac9211 No I didnt mean it like that, just feedback, trying to help. I didnt realize the single was the announcement. I thought I remember Melody mentioning the new single already..maybe on Instagram? Cant remember where. She might not have mentioned the date though. But that's why I didn't pick up that that was the announcement, I thought that was already known and you were just reminding us.
Hoping that the country metal is for the love of it and not because country crossover is trendy. One of the things holding Liliac back is a lack of a distinct musical identity. Originally, it was borrowed from 80's metal and now it is shifting all over the place. To compensate, Liliac focuses on visual identity. But that can come across as posing--as can covers and chasing hits. Solving the issue of musical identity is most important for Liliac's future. Just one opinion.
What I took from this is Papa would consider talking to someone if they cared for and loved Liliac as much as he does. A champion of the band. Then, that would also have to be approved by Liliac themselves. That's what I understood from this.
@@bradvessa2277 I understood the same. But seems different from being "fiercely independent" or "independent by choice" Sounds more like they've never really had an offer.
@oscararturo9043 they are independent by choice, and they did have a contract offered to them by AGT that they refused and then left the show back in 2020. They even said so back then in a livestream, remember.
@@bradvessa2277 In what world is a contract offering from AGT considered even relevant. They offer nearly every act that gets past the audition phase on that show a contract. From what I’ve heard, you would have to be nuts to sign with them. I’m with Oscar on his take. I don’t believe Liliac has ever been offered a recording contract by a major U.S record label, nor will they likely be offered one anytime soon. Correct me if I’m wrong.
I love the music.. I love melody singing.. But with melodys' incredible voice and age if you haven't made it big time By now you won't.. Prince said if you don't have a big label behind you, you will never sell a lot of records.the music industry will not allow you As an independent band to grow big that's the truth... "The warning" Signed that's why they're growing bigger than liliac now.
That's not only reason The Warning has grown. Half the reactors that listen to The Warning for the first time end up going through their entire catalogue. That doesn't happen with Liliac or very few bands. The music needs to connect.
@@mk.1175 That's the issue. It's a cover. The Warning fans go to their channel for original music. Their songs and performances hook people. They have over 5000 Patreons and 1 million Spotify monthly listeners. People listen once and stay fans. They just sold out 1500 capacity in LA in 15 minutes. People are almost always impressed by Melody's voice. But they don't keep coming back for the music. Only the diehards go to shows. Nearly all Liliac's top songs on Spotify are covers. Not arguing with you. Just stating what I observe.
Papa doesn't have the knowledge that Gene Simmons has to make this band great like KISS Liliac needs a record label to promote them to make them great.
Please do not try to bring metal to country. One of the worst mistakes Def Leppard made was trying to add rap to their Slang album. Liliac is growing in fame not because they are doing what everyone else is doing (that essentially sucks) but because they are bringing back traditional style hard rock. They are not producing trendy death metal horrible screaming music that no-one will ever want to hear again after the fad is over. They are producing good solid rock n roll with Melody's awesome voice and Sam's great guitar work. Please do not taint this by doing country, rap or death metal (Madness skirts too close to that already).
Florin ? Be honest and tell all the honest to God truth why 4 of the 5 original members of Liliac cut their hair (not the bullshit that you told everyone, that they were kids who wanted to try a new look).
Keep the passion, Papa Liliac! You are doing it right and doing it well. God bless,
We love you Papa! You have done a wonderful job with your children. I have been following the band for several years. There has been so much growth in their talent and abilities. They amaze me! They give me hope for the future of Rock & Roll. Love the new song, Delusion!

I know the videos he does like this really show how much he does care
You are doing great job as a father and as a producer of Liliac. Keep up the good work.
papa don't let one bad apple speak for all , no apology needed for greatness, still on the liliac band wagon you are all still in a league of awesomeness , still in for the long hull
Papa Liliac, follow your heart.
No need to apologise for the way you live.
You have done good,
No need for new dad or Manager.
You are The Man...

Hi
You just be you,, Political songs are nothing new,,Some of the most popular songs in the 60s and early 70s were songs about Vietnam....RORH
