Papa LILIAC you keep doing what you are doing brother. Don't worry about the haters. Believe me I used to promote bands up here in Maryland and Delaware for 27 yrs. People don't seem to realize the music industry is a very tough business nowadays. It is hard making sure the artists get paid what they deserve. These venues today want bands to practically play for free. I am proud of how far you have brought Liliac. It doesn't bother me if they are famous or not. I love their music no matter what. #FANG4LIFE. You keep doing what you are doing. I would be honored to meet you one day. Have an incredible day. Love you guys ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love the fact that Melody doesn't want to be "Hollywood" famous. That's a reflection of the values you and Mama Liliac have instilled in your children. I was at the Winchester, VA show and was so impressed by Melo's message at the end. Giving praise and thanks to Jesus and sending us home with a blessing. She is a light and I hope nothing ever changes that. The courage she has to give that message to a room full of metal heads is inspiring. Keep up the good work Papa!
I don't care about fame, I wish them great success, just keep on keeping on. RORH Liliac and live YOUR dream! That's what it's about and I will continue to support you just stay awesome! Love you guys and can't wait to see you live again!
As a big Warning fan , you should follow their lead and sign for a major label , but more on your terms just like they did .May be getting some professional management advise would help you make the band even more successful , or a co manager ( to help give you a rest when needed )as well .Staying independent is no good for a bands growth , even the Warning found that out . Do what is best for the band and the best of luck to you all , you deserve to be successful.
Well said. If only Liliac could open for The Warning & that would open some doors because both bands are similar in age, but Melody has mentioned, under her breath, that Liliac would not open for The Warning. It was a bit of a snide remark, but I believe she apologized afterwards.
@@Tewa-countrygirl I don't know much about Liliac as a band but it seems as if they are at a cross roads in terms of their career , and having an experienced co manager with good contacts will help them greatly , and that is no disrespect to their father , who i'm sure is doing his best for his family !
@anthonyfisher1670 I've been following Liliac since 2018 & saw them live in 2019. They were very young, but definitely had the sound needed to succeed. Labels aren't a bad thing...The Warning is doing great and we saw them live with Halestorm. Awesome show!
You chose to be in the music industry and rock and roll. Of course you're gonna be criticized for your appearance style and music just like every other rock and roll band look at the criticism Poison Got.. but stop talking about it stop complaining. Just rock and roll.
It's great for Liliac that you are independent. But there is no need for the constant harping on record labels. It gets old. I am here for the music and I can care less if it is from a major label or not. Stop using being independent as a crutch or excuse. You are making your own bed. Let's see what ya' got.
What the Godsmack manager said about record labels is very true. You need a champion at the label who is pushing for you. Typically, the labels are putting their investment into their biggest artists and a handful they think have potential. But if you are not in that group, you are both controlled and ignored. A terrible combination. Signing with a label can be a good move. But it needs to be under the right circumstances. Sadly for many artists that isn't the case.
Liliac keep doing what you do ❤ success is already there and even more to come. Liliac is going to the top on there own terms period! Liliac for life ❤
Fame is a great tragedy, you reach more people, but more people reach back. Most people dont know what the heck they are doing themselves, not remotely qualified to tell others what to do. If your children wanted out of Liliac, they are of an age to choose for themselves. I salute you for supporting your childrens dreams.
Papa liliac I know as a true fan I support liliac no matter what and I think any true fan will. I absolutely agree and very well said. I think you and the band are doing an amazing job. Rock on and rock hard.
Liliac is simply a Great Band !!! Supremely Talented !! Just keep doing what you're doing !!!!! One step at a time !! Slow and steady is the way to go !! Love you guys !!! R O R H 🤘🔥🤘🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇
Stay driven, focused, and Independent. A big hit hit may come your way without warning and the Band will have the rewards. Know the goal and aim and do not falter.
You guys have great quality songs, very professional. I was just listening to We are the Children yesterday thinking they sound just as good as the big names. I also was wondering if David Draiman (of Disturbed) had replied to Mels version of Don't Tell Me. Which she did a great job with. I guess Plush won out on that one. We have a popular Rock music radio station, here in Lynchburg Virginia. They like bringing new songs to the station. They are called The Rock Channel. Also i remember you all living in that apartment up until you moved to Georgia in 2020? i was so glad you all got to get away from California. That place is terrible now. So sad such a beautiful state got destroyed by ignorance. Thanks Papa for blessing the world with your family band.
Continue your path, your almost at the end of the Rainbow. Forget the haters, trolls and corporations that want to get rich off of LILIAC! Wholesome, foot stomping, heart melting music is why you will overcome as an independent. Doing it all in house within a meager budget has been very successful so far. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it." Patience is the key here.
I love Liliac because they are a family band, because they are humble. Fame does not guarantee success. Success isn't always measured in dollars. Success is making a living doing what you love, doing what makes you happy. It is more about being content. They are so talented, and if they are enjoying their current situation, why change. Fame can ruin people, so if one has no desire to be famous, then why pursue something you don't want. I have, and always will support this band.😊
Well said Papa Liliac. You have done a fabulous job with your kids. Enjoy your fame that you brought to this band. Their talent is the only thing that matters to their success. RUclips is the new king makers. The days of record labels controlling the airwaves no longer matters.
Point blank and period... INDEPENDENT IS THE ONLY WAY. Tom Macdonald is a perfect example. WE LOVE YOUS and rhats not bought with money. Its been done YOUR WAY with YOUR TALENTS. Doing it YOUR OWN WAY! Playing by YOUR OWN RULES! Most importantly, KEEPING YOUR IMMORTAL SOUL. RO&RH!!
Stay humble! You guys rock! Papa I met you after a show. You are easily one of the nicest people I've EVER met and your children are a reflection of that.
OMG they couldn’t be more successful. Thank goodness they are not going down the path of record labels. They are talented and it will come. Papa they are your kids and I have no doubt you will always put their interests first. Great Job to you and your talented kids.
Papa, you, your Wife and family are an American Success story from the ground up! Success is going to be how you and your family define it, not anyone else!! If your happy, spiritually grounded and healthy, your a success! Anything over and above that is gravy!! I read lots and lots of comments on the Internet, there's some that are really quite negative, don't dwell on those for a split second, and some are simply constructive criticism, but the vast majority are positive! And in your favor! And it doesn't matter who you are, not everyone is going to like you or other bands! Chase the dream of how you all want it to be, if you want a simple close nit family lifestyle wothout to much stress, then thats great, if you want to live the multimillionaire lifestyle, then go for that , but stressing over what others think isn't going to firther your cause, what if your kids say one-day they want to go thier own way and build vacation cabin rentels, or go and get 3 doctorite degree's in social engineering? Or whatever they choose! Things could change in the blink of an eye! So, don't sweat the small stuff, just keep working on the short term goals, the rest will take care of itself! I care about your family, you all have given me one of the biggest and best thrills in my older life! And I know im not alone, you all have the drive , the energy that not alot of entertainers have! And i admire the fact that you guys don't just work yourselves to death! Im sure you all work hard, but if it becomes just a jod and you don't love what your doing, then ypur going backwards! I know, i worked hard at a job i didn't really enjoy for most of my life, even though i was good at it, there's tremendous opportunity for your band, your brand to continue moving forward, more success will surely follow! Florin, as a father to your children and the leader of the band, you should have a huge statue put up in your honor! And i belive other young bands can benefit from your hands on knowledge of what it takes to be a father, a good husband, a friend, and leader of a successful band! You are a Rock PAPA LILIAC!
Question for you all. In order to be considered famous, shouldn’t a band, or anyone for that matter, have played in at least one truly important venue that helped them redefine their careers, propelling them on to the next level?
I follow some bands that decide to stay independent for the exact reasons you mention. Liliac has a phenomenal fanbase!!! Liliac is a phenomenal band and a great family as well!!!!
3 Differnt Kinds of Music U do LILIACA BAND THING AND FORGET ABOUT EVERONE EALS JUST DO U AND DO ORGINAL MUSIC ONLY BUT THATS JUST ME . HAVE A GOOD NIGHT FANGS ✌️🎩 FLORIN WHY ARE U SO UP SET all the time ...just HAVE A BEER AND RELAXS ✌️ They will never be Milye , Taylor , or Dion You do metal Melo should join " SHE ROCKS " ONE OF MY DEAR FRIENDS SHE AND HER BAND JUST GOT A GRAMMY AND JOHNNY CARTER CHASH AS ENIGER CASH CABIN IN NASHVILLE TN . HERE YOUR PAT ON T HERES YOUR PAT ON THE BACK OKAY🖐🖐🖐 FLORIN " Stop Crying Pls "
Love you guys just the way you are. People need to mind their own business. Let's enjoy this great band while they are around together as a band. These Kids are having fun . They cannot be the family band with out Papa Liliac. So people please just leave them alone so the rest of us can enjoy listening to this Family Band which includes Papa Liliac
im a metal head. i follow a few bands Saxon, Alice Cooper, Iron Madan, Ramstein, Ace frehley, and Liliac. The point is that i think to be really "famous" these day you need to be famous already. The best advice you will get is the people who are telling you NOT to feed the trolls. you have nothing to explain to any one.
Unfortunately "who they are" changes like the weather. I check in on this band & the look, vibe etc . is constantly changing to the point it feels very gimmicky. Like throwing spaghetti at the wall hoping something/ anything sticks. Not a troll, they are undeniably talented, I wish them well.
@@zeearcher1360 Narcissistic. If you have to ask if you’re famous, you probably already know the answer. That was one of the more self-serving promotions I’ve seen in a long while. I believe “Papa Liliac” has taken his band as far as he can. They are a talented bunch but playing only 40-50 shows a year in small venues in front of small crowds ain’t gonna get you to the next level. Plus they have no international footprint to speak of. Get back to me when the band scores invites to such giants as Wacken and Download festivals in Europe. That’s next level stuff. Instead of making excuses, go out there and connect with a label that shares your vision, values and passion for music. They are out there. Maybe he ought to ask Rudy Joffroy and Luis Villarreal how to successfully navigate the music industry and all its pitfalls. Of course it helps to work for a band that knows who they are, where they’re heading, and is totally invested in its future.
@@rockrap6240 Amen to that! I would love to see outside management take over because you are correct in that he has taken them as far as he can and that is the absolute truth!
@@zeearcher1360Yeah. I’m no expert on Liliac but I highly doubt he will relinquish control of the band anytime soon. Liliac is not an organic band. It’s the creation of Papa Liliac. Read his self-penned bio: “Founder and CEO of LILIAC/Father/Manager/ Music Producer of Liliacband/ Sound Engineer”. Do you see any mention of his kids anywhere in that bio? I’m not sure of the level of involvement his kids have in the decision-making process as to the future direction of the band. If I had to guess, not a lot. Papa is the driving force behind this band. I wonder if they will even be around as a band in three years if something doesn’t give.
Papa I truly believe that your thinking is on the right track. You are your own label and your own studio writing you own music and you have very hard earned money to support your alls hobby (music). Most people don't have funds to become noticed . You don't want to get involved in a recording label if you do you are owned by this label and they tell you what works and you may not agree. Not only that contracts are involved. A breach of contract is very expensive and I believe you are taking care of your best interest your kids. I would like to remind everybody that Miley Cyrus was a good band also until so got picked up by a rec label. This rec. Label made her degrade herself so she could get a older crowd and get away from Hanna Montana a band for the younger crowd. She is ruined Goods if you ask me. But this is an example of the power of a rec label. Stand clear from them what you are doing is working. You don't have to sell your soul for money and Fame you already have that .remember a little gose a long way Papa. You'll always have haters. But there is a lot of more believers in your alls work ...keep up the good work and stay in control of your all dream. Don't share it with no one.Don't think of the money you already have that. Fame comes with time and you all are already getting there. There is no hurry for Fame it will all come together faster than you think... Rock on rock hard or stay home... Independent is key...
You’ve got to be kidding, right? Plenty of bands have signed record deals with labels that are mutually beneficial. The thing is, though, you have to have at least a modicum of negotiating skills, as well as something a label wants. Remaining independent is not a recipe for long term success. On an entirely different note, do you think we’ll ever see Luis Villarreal put out a video like this? I think not.
My two cents: You focus too much on "success" and not enough on art. If you create great music, the success, audience, deals and fame will all come. I understand you have to pay the bills. But covers--while attracting viewers--are not going to get Liliac to the next level. Based on what's come so far, Liliac would benefit from outside songwriters and producers. That's if you want to be successful as artists rather than just making money.
Did you watch the whole video? Are you deaf? Or slow? I mean no offense, but Florin just said the exact opposite of what your comment states??? Take care of yourself, please. RO&RH 🤘🦇💜🦇🤘 Peace love and light. ✌❤🙏
Even if they wanted to, the "kids" would never be able to replace him as a manager. He's their dad and too emotionally involved--a lot more than the band seem to be.
When I first saw them doing Enter Sandman I was hooked. Told all my friends about them and I even bought 3 CD's and sent $25.00 to the studio build. Saw them on their first tour in Kalkaska, Mi. Terrible sound but I still followed them until Melody started getting wierd. Only talent in the band is Sam. @@zeearcher1360

The founder/CEO/producer/director/editor/dad of Liliac is thin-skinned.
He's in the wrong business if he doesn't want to get criticized.

You guys are great . Hold the course.
Well said PPL. Your doing fantastic with your family and your band.
Papa you rock and thanks for being yourself and telling the truth of how it is.
If you love what you do it isn’t work
Papa Liliac, contact Sammy Hagar and see if you can do one of his AXE shows.
OMG they couldn’t be more successful. Thank goodness they are not going down the path of record labels. They are talented and it will come. Papa they are your kids and I have no doubt you will always put their interests first. Great Job to you and your talented kids.
Yeah Joe Jackson was saying the same thing !

But there is a lot of more believers in your alls work ...keep up the good work and stay in control of your all dream. Don't share it with no one.Don't think of the money you already have that. Fame comes with time and you all are already getting there. There is no hurry for Fame it will all come together faster than you think... Rock on rock hard or stay home...
Independent is key...
You’ve got to be kidding, right? Plenty of bands have signed record deals with labels that are mutually beneficial. The thing is, though, you have to have at least a modicum of negotiating skills, as well as something a label wants. Remaining independent is not a recipe for long term success.
On an entirely different note, do you think we’ll ever see Luis Villarreal put out a video like this? I think not.
My two cents: You focus too much on "success" and not enough on art. If you create great music, the success, audience, deals and fame will all come. I understand you have to pay the bills. But covers--while attracting viewers--are not going to get Liliac to the next level. Based on what's come so far, Liliac would benefit from outside songwriters and producers. That's if you want to be successful as artists rather than just making money.
Did you watch the whole video?
Are you deaf?
Or slow?
I mean no offense, but Florin just said the exact opposite of what your comment states???
Take care of yourself, please. RO&RH 🤘🦇💜🦇🤘
Peace love and light.
✌❤🙏
@@cjgia4898 No he did not. He contrasted celebrity with success--not art.
You Still didn't listen with your ears!
Hey papa
u said it dont ever sell out
Why would anyone expect you all to give up your freedom to have total control over your music to record labels? Talk about selling your soul.
Even if they wanted to, the "kids" would never be able to replace him as a manager. He's their dad and too emotionally involved--a lot more than the band seem to be.
The two youngest need dance lessons. No rhythm at all. Look contrived.
There's the word I was looking for.....contrived!
When I first saw them doing Enter Sandman I was hooked. Told all my friends about them and I even bought 3 CD's and sent $25.00 to the studio build.
Saw them on their first tour in Kalkaska, Mi. Terrible sound but I still followed them until Melody started getting wierd.
Only talent in the band is Sam. @@zeearcher1360
The "count" is now up to 5 Trolls! Must be a good post! Carry on, be in the area all day....!
Liliac is famous to us, their fans and that's all that matters. I could care less about Miley or Self Centered Swifty.
