Everyone criticizes them for sounding almost exactly like LZ, which is fair, but I don’t think they get enough credit for how much skill they actually have, and the fact that they sound this good live?
@@declanhoman144 Some people go as far as saying that they don't have an identity and just mimics Zep. Im think this is bullshit, they write their own songs, the influence is obvious, but they do write their own songs and they're skille and talented. I agree with you, being compared to the greatest hard rock band on earth is a hell of a compliment.
Greta Van Fleet are : Josh Kiszka - Lead vocals Jake Kiszka - Lead and Rhythm guitars (Josh and Jake are identical twins!) Sam Kiszka - Bass guitar & keyboards (Sam is Josh & Jake's younger brother) Danny Wagner - Drums (Danny went to high school with the brothers and graduated with Sam!) They are from Frankenmuth, Michigan
@@greyk610 let’s be honest they are a better band then zeppelin and that kids a far better singer. We all love zeppelin but we have to accept that Greta are better
These boys (they're all young) get a lot of flack for sounding like Led Zep from folks that apparently don't like that, but they're fun and put on a great show. What more do ya want from music?
They only get flack from me for that for not owning up to it. I mean, it's obvious and yet they claim to hardly know Led Zep and be inspired by completely different bands. Puh-lease. Oh and when you think THEY are getting a lot of flack you should've seen the kind of flack e.g. Kingdom Come got back in the 80s. Gary Moore and Ozzy Osbourne even made a song that was mocking them and other Led Zeppelin-Wannabes: "Led Clones". But well, it's been so long, I actually find it refreshing to hear a new band that is Zep inspired. Just own up to it and everything's peachy
@@krusher74 Also "knowing" is one thing. Owning up is another. There is no shame in being inspired and influenced by Led Zep. They're one of the most influential rock bands of all time for a reason. Almost anything that came after them in rock was influenced by them, directly or indirectly. Hell even their contemporaries were clearly influenced by them.
@@saschaschneider6355 Greta Van Fleet are often compared to Led Zeppelin.[54] Jake related that he "... went through a year of really intensely studying what [Jimmy] Page did to the point I knew how he thought," but he has studied other classic rock guitarists in a similar manner, specifically mentioning Pete Townshend.[55] Likewise, on his voice being compared to Robert Plant's, Josh said that Plant has certainly been an influence, "though it's not what I was going for."[56] Stating that he did not even know who Led Zeppelin was until high school, he explained that his singing style came out naturally one day while struggling to be heard over the rest of the band.[55] In a March 2018 interview, Plant cited Greta Van Fleet as one of his favorite up-and-coming bands, saying "they are Led Zeppelin I" and describing Josh as "a beautiful little singer."[57]
Definitely influenced by 70s and Zep, but they really do their own thing. He pulls it off live as well. A few old rockers don’t take them seriously and consider them a gimmick, but they are talented and will help open the eye of a younger generation to some of the classic rock originals. I dig em as an old dude. Lol
They're obviously influenced by zeppelin - which I have no issue with, however I do have an issue with the fact that they dont acknowledge that fact, every interview I've seen the interviewer will hint at it, and even sometimes say it out right, and they'll just deny it.
@@MrXNITROx well that explains it. Christ every band has been asked who influenced them to start playing and their music. When did respect for those that walked before you become a bad thing ??
Greta Van Fleet: When The Curtain Calls is another good tune by them. though they sound heavily like Zepplin...they were influenced by MANY older artists/bands. i, for one, am glad to see some of the younger generations take to the influences, run with it, and make it their own. immitation is the highest form of flattery, or so the saying goes. props to them
I first heard of them by a Robert Plant interview, and he said he liked this band and gave his blessing, so I checked out this song, and was like, OK. My wife and I went and saw them in Seattle 2 years ago. They were good.
@sub1ime81 Massively huge honour bro, I bet they were buzzing when they heard him speak of them haha. Seen them live in Leeds last year (actually nearly a year to the day 3rd Nov) and it was a great time. Will definitely see them next time they’re over here too, hopefully sometime next year once this virus gets the fuck out man!
Right?? Like why the fuck are people mad about it!? Though, their newer stuff shows a lot more of their personality as a band, Heat Above in particular is a gorgeous song
I agree on her awesome hair but I must strongly disagree with "frontman's great". I think the band/musicians are great but the singer/vocals grate not great. Glad to see young guys today rockin out but I can't really listen to them because of the vocalist.
Their live concerts are amazing...this kid can sing like no other! The guitarist is his identical twin...the bassist is his other brother. Only the drummer isn't a brother. They are the only great new band in my opinion. Yes they sound like Zeppelin but they are really great.
You finally did this video!!!! I've been waiting for months!!!! Love these guys and it was an absolute pleasure to see them live in Barcelona in November last year. Josh, the vocal lead has an incredible voice and he sounds even better life (I swear it!) and his brothers Sam and Jake (bass and lead guitar) along with the drummer are a delight to see. They all enjoy music and that shows. Hope you do another reaction if you are feeling like it, maybe Black Smoke Rising? There's a live performance around here so maaaaaaaaybe that's an option? All the love Rebecca, as always. Thanks for doing this vid!!
I also think Perry likes them very much lol They have been at every Lollapalooza (from Chicago to South America) and perry was always walking around when they played o.0
@@AmandaaRose I couldn't get into the second album as much as the first, but I did hear the new single and yes, it's really good. This band has a ton of potential.
They are incredible live! I've seen them 2 times, front row, and they just absolutely feel the music and do impromptu solos or just play a song for 10minutes longer, Josh plays with his voice. They're genuinely such a great band live. They also really communicate without speaking on stage, which might be because 3/4 band members are brothers if which 2 are twins and the 4th is a childhood friend
On top of being very good at what she does (wonderful voice and great at analysis) Rebecca could show up with bed head, wearing a trash bag, and still look amazing.
same here and then I found out they are from the same county I live in. A couple of years ago you could have seen them free at the local bar here. Not anymore, LOL
I remember seeing them live in 2014 or so when I was at a bar in flint with my uncles band. They were just doing covers of led zeppelin at the time. Fairly certain there is a different bassist and drums but amazing how far they have got but nog surprising. There energy live is something I can't explain something I will carry with me forever.
You can always have a socially undistanced hug.....our special Rebecky. Deffo a Zep influence there......close your eyes, you can see Robert Plant !. Love you honey bunny 🐰 😘 💗
Does everyone else love Rebecca's visual responses more than her comments???? I love the comments, too, but I smile and giggle at how much you get into it!!!! Keep it up!!!
They come from a VERY small town in Michigan called Frankenmuth (about 40-50 miles north of Detroit). The town's original claim to fame was as a "tourist trap" with the world's largest Christmas store! Used to go there with my parents as a kid and never figured it would spawn one of the world's most talked about rock bands! Detroit? Yes! But not Frankenmuth. I mean Detroit even had a whole style of music come from here but Frankenmuth is ALL about tourism and I always envisioned everyone who lives there only were there for the tourism related jobs! Strange pre-conceived notion - I know!
I remember watching GVF on a video several years ago and was just blown away by the vocal abilities of this lead singer. Once I did a deep dive, I also gained respect for these guys in every way. Great sound, songs and, above all, no freakin’ auto tune.
As a huge Led Zeppelin, I’m so glad these guys picked up that torch. 60’s70’s rock needs to make a comeback. So glad a Band like this is doing it. I really gotta go to one of their shows.
There’s a video of the band being interviewed just before their concert but Josh wasn’t there. He was in his dressing room warming up his voice for the show. That’s dedication.
Yeah, "My way soon" and "You’re the one" is also really good for the calmer songs. Those are on my road trip/travel playlist, much of Gretas music is such "car songs" or "dad rock" abd I’m all for that!
fun fact: when they were becoming a popular band they opened for Shinedown at the Cherry Festival in Traverse City, MI, & after their opening at they were chilling in the back and I got to meet them and they are so nice!
Josh Kiska the vocalist said John Denver was one of his inspiration. The band consists of three brothers. Josh lead vocals,twin brother Jake,lead guitar, Sam on bass. And there friend Danny as the drummer. They are from Frankenmuth Michigan. Yes they got flack in the beginning about sounding like Led Zep. That's changed a bit on there last album. They rose to fame quickly in 2018. They attract both young and older audiences. They are amazing.
Saw them twice so great live bad so young! You'd be surprised about their influences. Very broad depth of oldies and Josh and Jake are twins with Sam as their brother. Love GVF \m/
I've seen them twice now and they sound great live. Can't wait to COVID-19 is just a bad memory so we can start going to concerts again. Nice breakdown as usual Cheers!
Robert Plant has actually praised the lead singer and insinuates jealousy of his voice. Great Van Fleet acknowledges all their influences including Zeppelin. :)
In an interview Greta Van Fleet said their main influence was Aerosmith later Robert Plant kindly called his bluff and said "we all know who heavily influenced them" 😂
If I remember correctly, they started by covering Led Zepplin probably because he can actually do the screams and howls like Robert Plant. They were definitely influenced by the blues and older soul songs/bands. Robert Plant actually likes them. It will definitely be interesting to see where they end up years down the line.
Greta Van Fleet are 3 brothers and a friend, they’re all in their very early 20s and definitely got a great future. I’ve rockee to these guys for a couple years now, they keep improving- so excited!
The one thing I like about Greta Van Fleet, is that their a real band, with a real singer, and real band members that play real musical instruments. Modern pop music and "bands" nowadays, is just autotuned voices over a drum machine, their about as good as plastic cheese over vanilla ice cream.
I really like Greta Van Fleet a lot, but I also like some of those other modern pop groups, and talent comes in many forms and music can be enjoyed in its different forms too. It's not all going to be everyone's cup of tea, but hating on it seems unproductive.
I hear vibes at times with tones bordering on Plant, Angus from ACDC and a few high notes in Geddy's range. but it all comes together for his own sound
The singer and lead guitar player are twins the bass player is there a younger brother and the guy on the drums is a friend of the family. They’re from about 60 miles north of me in Frankenmuth Michigan.
Watch some of their newer songs this was their first single and is very heavily influenced by led zeppelin their newer songs are not led zeppelin sounding
He does an incredible version of a change is going to come. I think you would really enjoy that, and it would make a great reaction. You said you wanted to hear a different style, this is it.
As much I like Greta, you have got to check out Rival Sons. They also have a classic rock vibe, but without sounding like an imitation of another band. And I think their singer is one of (if not the) best rock singer out there right now.
I have been *waiting* for you to react to Greta van Fleet!! Joshs' vocals are incredible! You should totally react to Black Smoke Rising, it's my favorite song by them!
Flower power is a great song of theirs.Josh also sounds amazing on their cover of rolling in the deep or change is gonna come.His voice is amazing and he's getting better.
I've started my own reaction channel. Mickey Reacts. Rebecca, You are a big part of the reason. You give me confidence to get on camera and just be myself. Thank you for your Videos.
I knew you would like it when your eyes got really large in the first 3-4 seconds of the opening vocal notes, almost filled the lenses of the glasses (which look wonderful on you). No you are not the first to get the Led Zeppelin vibe, If you listen to Zeppelin's "Dancin Days" Robert Plant's repeating "my one and only" vs Josh Kiszka's "She is my special" they don't quite line up 100% but very close. Robert Plant has repeatedly said he really enjoys them. GVF's "Safari Song" "Black Smoke Rising" "When the curtain falls" all good choices, Please consider more of their songs and keep up the good work.
I love this! I did a reaction video with my dear friend last year (who was a classical soprano) and it was so interesting to hear her thoughts, but yours are so different and it’s so cool to hear them! Also “you’re a cheeky boy” made me laugh so much 😂
Led Zeppelin reacted to them and said they sound like them, we all know that no one can be Led Zeppelin, but I’m just happy that we have another band who is using instruments and feeling like the 80’s.
You should look at this song, The Tragically Hip from Canada. Fiddlers Green is the song. About a relative of the the singer, who was a child and died early. The singer Gord Downey, also passed due to a brain tumor, but they pulled off an epic final tour a few years ago. Not sure what you think of his singing, but he is a national treasure here. He will be missed...
Yes, I found the Vocal to be very Robert Plant. But specifically, the way Plant handled a track from Zeppelin's first album - "Communication Breakdown". The similarity, is really very striking ! That being said. I Loved It ! ;-)
Today in my facebook memories of two years ago, Greta van Fleet! And I was thinking by myself, I should suggest this to some TH-cam video reacters as I never saw someone react to them so far. (in all honesty I also never searched for it 😆) But what a surprise to see this all of a sudden! I swear these pages know already what you're thinking!! Anyway nice reaction. Not my all-time favorite band but I sure love their energy and style, and for bringing back that 70's rock. They kick ass live.
hi rebecca,i am a 63year old guy from Germany,i only can say you are the most nice woman at TH-cam who gives Reactions to Music.You are so lovely and natural,i love you.Please dont stop your Reactions,i love them.Good luck ,Andi from Berlin,Germany
Greta Van Fleet are amazing! Black Smoke Rising is my favorite song of theirs. They're, actually, from a town like 40 minutes away from me. Edit: I, absolutely, agree with your commentary about their reigniting with Rock used to be. I love that the older style of music is having a kind of renaissance, right now.
I Loved Led Zep, was during my prime time of life, 30's. A tiny bit of info from Wikipedia: "Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan, formed in 2012. It consists of Kiszka brothers Josh (vocals), Jake (guitar) and Sam (bass guitar); and Danny Wagner (drums)." I'd say they were strongly influenced by LZ, but use it as much as a stepping off point rather than something to slavishly emulate. Got to get an album, just to support them.
I love your videos, you are a great influence in my life. I have just started in the world of singing, and you are always a reference in this. Greetings from Mexico
At first I thought they were trying too hard to sound like Zep. But if you listen to more of their music, they definitely have their own sound. His voice is different from Robert Plants. But obviously heavily inspired by them.
Nice video! This is probably my favorite band. I love their sound so much! The singer has incredible talent, ESPECIALLY LIVE. They are incredible live.
I used to call them “not zeppelin” but now that I’ve actually listened to their music, I’m a fan. Not a teenage girl, I’m 55 & love heavy metal. They impressed me.

If all people are hearing is Zeppelin, they aren’t listening carefully or two more than one or two songs.

Should have reacted to a live version. This kids vocal chops are incredible.
Exactly! A lot of crap he gets for auto tune.. but live he's unreal
Agreed, this video is hard to watch because the timing is off from audio/video.
Your reaction to their Red Rocks Amphitheater show would be smashing my dear!
Definitely saw them at rock on the range 2018 , was one amazing set
@@abutterflyloves They never use auto tune so don't know what you're talking about.

Exactly what I was going 2 say
Yes, she should have done this song.
Thanks for the heads up Joe!!!!
Awesome song
Is it bad to sound like one of the greatest bands ever? I’d think not.
It just doesn’t sound original
Sounds good, just not authentic. They're clearly trying to be Led Zeppelin.

As a huge Led Zeppelin, I’m so glad these guys picked up that torch. 60’s70’s rock needs to make a comeback. So glad a Band like this is doing it. I really gotta go to one of their shows.
The main riff is from Led Zeppelin song called "The Rover", from Physical Graffiti album - 1975.
There’s a video of the band being interviewed just before their concert but Josh wasn’t there. He was in his dressing room warming up his voice for the show. That’s dedication.
They are 3 brothers and the drummer,he’s been singing since he was 8 yrs old he was 18 in this video
If you want something from them more ballad like, try “Flower Power”
Yeah, "My way soon" and "You’re the one" is also really good for the calmer songs. Those are on my road trip/travel playlist, much of Gretas music is such "car songs" or "dad rock" abd I’m all for that!
dude thats my favorite track from them
New song from Greta Van Fleet. "Age of Machine". Released 2 days ago.

I've seen them twice now and they sound great live. Can't wait to COVID-19 is just a bad memory so we can start going to concerts again. Nice breakdown as usual Cheers!
Clearly heavily inspired by Led Zeppelin but who can blame them lol
Was thinking the same thing
Believe it or not I was told the singer hates Robert Plant 😂
Robert Plant has actually praised the lead singer and insinuates jealousy of his voice. Great Van Fleet acknowledges all their influences including Zeppelin. :)
In an interview Greta Van Fleet said their main influence was Aerosmith later Robert Plant kindly called his bluff and said "we all know who heavily influenced them" 😂
@@Gunfreak451 they actually never said that they were influenced by Aerosmith idk were Robert got that from lol
I seen these boys when they were 15years old doing bar gigs in Frankenmuth, MI. Fantastic Band!
I saw these guys years ago at a festival in Freeland Michigan
If I remember correctly, they started by covering Led Zepplin probably because he can actually do the screams and howls like Robert Plant. They were definitely influenced by the blues and older soul songs/bands. Robert Plant actually likes them. It will definitely be interesting to see where they end up years down the line.
Come on in boy have a cigar,you're gonna go far,oops,sorry,wrong band!😆😆😆
They from my neighbor town Frankenmuth Michigan. Started as a Zeppelin cover band. I believe they are all brothers and one friend.
Even Robert Plant commented in a reaction "Those sounds are familiar to me"
Yes Rebecca thank you for reviewing this band I got to see them live at Rock city last November Nottingham 🤟
People criticized "they look like led zeppelin" , for me "cool, let's make rock n roll live again"
Same! I was just glad they're bringing back rock n roll!
Thanks for the hug and the introduction of this band. One hug and a thumbs up back to You.
These kids grew up 20 minutes from me in Frakenmuth Michigan! Lead singer was only 18
Same here, i'm from Caro
Flint Township checking in. Saw them at the Machine Shop
lapeer area here. ill give these guys kudos for their talent at such a young age, but man, did all the local fm rock stations beat this song to death.
Bay City here
@@mathewchartier118 that is where I’m from! Moved to Mount Pleasant 6 years ago though
"For the record!" I suggested this reaction LONG ago! So glad you checked them out. I love Greta! And your reaction videos! Word!
Hey, Rrrrrrrrebecca I'm your TH-cam fan
Greta Van Fleet are 3 brothers and a friend, they’re all in their very early 20s and definitely got a great future.
I’ve rockee to these guys for a couple years now, they keep improving- so excited!
The one thing I like about Greta Van Fleet, is that their a real band, with a real singer, and real band members that play real musical instruments. Modern pop music and "bands" nowadays, is just autotuned voices over a drum machine, their about as good as plastic cheese over vanilla ice cream.
I really like Greta Van Fleet a lot, but I also like some of those other modern pop groups, and talent comes in many forms and music can be enjoyed in its different forms too. It's not all going to be everyone's cup of tea, but hating on it seems unproductive.
Bruuhh you're not describing "BANDS NoW ADAYS" you're describing pretty specific musical genres.
I hear vibes at times with tones bordering on Plant, Angus from ACDC and a few high notes in Geddy's range. but it all comes together for his own sound
Rebecca ~ how's Suki doing? 🐱
She's in the beauty salon
The singer and lead guitar player are twins the bass player is there a younger brother and the guy on the drums is a friend of the family. They’re from about 60 miles north of me in Frankenmuth Michigan.
Hii rebbe nice 😊😊😊
Was Lucky enough to see them Live in 2018! Great Show!

Edit: Oh yeah, it's mini Zeppelin.
Hahahaha
Rebecca, it's always lovely when you mimic singer's voices, because you do it so well, with such a beautiful tone. 👍😊💗
They're just copying Led Zeppelin. But who wouldn't want to sound like Led Zeppelin. They're living the dream.
Watch some of their newer songs this was their first single and is very heavily influenced by led zeppelin their newer songs are not led zeppelin sounding
They're not just copying, they are so much more and with serious talent.
@@Fastlan3 i agree they’re very talented and influenced by the right people!😃
@@Fastlan3 i see lots of potential cant wait for their new album
Before Covid, I went to a rock festival every year in the US. Saw GVF one year and his live vocals sound just as good as this.
He does an incredible version of a change is going to come. I think you would really enjoy that, and it would make a great reaction. You said you wanted to hear a different style, this is it.
As much I like Greta, you have got to check out Rival Sons. They also have a classic rock vibe, but without sounding like an imitation of another band. And I think their singer is one of (if not the) best rock singer out there right now.
I love these guys! Big fan of old school heavy! The singer Josh, and the guitar player Jake are twins. The bass player Sam is their younger brother.
I have been *waiting* for you to react to Greta van Fleet!!
Joshs' vocals are incredible! You should totally react to Black Smoke Rising, it's my favorite song by them!
Flower power is a great song of theirs.Josh also sounds amazing on their cover of rolling in the deep or change is gonna come.His voice is amazing and he's getting better.
I've started my own reaction channel. Mickey Reacts. Rebecca, You are a big part of the reason. You give me confidence to get on camera and just be myself. Thank you for your Videos.
I knew you would like it when your eyes got really large in the first 3-4 seconds of the opening vocal notes, almost filled the lenses of the glasses (which look wonderful on you). No you are not the first to get the Led Zeppelin vibe, If you listen to Zeppelin's "Dancin Days" Robert Plant's repeating "my one and only" vs Josh Kiszka's "She is my special" they don't quite line up 100% but very close. Robert Plant has repeatedly said he really enjoys them. GVF's "Safari Song" "Black Smoke Rising" "When the curtain falls" all good choices, Please consider more of their songs and keep up the good work.
OH MY GAWD i didn’t expect them to here on the channel, I’m HELLA excited for this!!!!!!
I love this! I did a reaction video with my dear friend last year (who was a classical soprano) and it was so interesting to hear her thoughts, but yours are so different and it’s so cool to hear them! Also “you’re a cheeky boy” made me laugh so much 😂
Instant like/click for Greta! So glad you found this song, one of my favorites! Agreed with your analysis, the vibe, energy, and musicianship.
Led Zeppelin reacted to them and said they sound like them, we all know that no one can be Led Zeppelin, but I’m just happy that we have another band who is using instruments and feeling like the 80’s.
You should look at this song,
The Tragically Hip from Canada. Fiddlers Green is the song. About a relative of the the singer, who was a child and died early. The singer Gord Downey, also passed due to a brain tumor, but they pulled off an epic final tour a few years ago. Not sure what you think of his singing, but he is a national treasure here. He will be missed...
I’m obsessed with this band, only new group worth listening to
Yes, I found the Vocal to be very Robert Plant. But specifically, the way Plant handled a track from Zeppelin's first album - "Communication Breakdown". The similarity, is really very striking ! That being said. I Loved It ! ;-)
Today in my facebook memories of two years ago, Greta van Fleet! And I was thinking by myself, I should suggest this to some TH-cam video reacters as I never saw someone react to them so far. (in all honesty I also never searched for it 😆) But what a surprise to see this all of a sudden! I swear these pages know already what you're thinking!! Anyway nice reaction. Not my all-time favorite band but I sure love their energy and style, and for bringing back that 70's rock. They kick ass live.
hi rebecca,i am a 63year old guy from Germany,i only can say you are the most nice woman at TH-cam who gives Reactions to Music.You are so lovely and natural,i love you.Please dont stop your Reactions,i love them.Good luck ,Andi from Berlin,Germany
Greta Van Fleet are amazing! Black Smoke Rising is my favorite song of theirs. They're, actually, from a town like 40 minutes away from me. Edit: I, absolutely, agree with your commentary about their reigniting with Rock used to be. I love that the older style of music is having a kind of renaissance, right now.
Saw them in Toronto was like stepping back in time. Really cool. Hope you do more
I Loved Led Zep, was during my prime time of life, 30's. A tiny bit of info from Wikipedia: "Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan, formed in 2012. It consists of Kiszka brothers Josh (vocals), Jake (guitar) and Sam (bass guitar); and Danny Wagner (drums)." I'd say they were strongly influenced by LZ, but use it as much as a stepping off point rather than something to slavishly emulate. Got to get an album, just to support them.
I am so glad you reacted to them! I love their songs. Great driving music. ❤️❤️❤️
Watching them live you can tell he’s had great voice training.
Blind Guardian-The Bard Song/Valhalla live at Waken. Ever hear a choir with 75,000 people?
I love your videos, you are a great influence in my life. I have just started in the world of singing, and you are always a reference in this. Greetings from Mexico
At first I thought they were trying too hard to sound like Zep. But if you listen to more of their music, they definitely have their own sound. His voice is different from Robert Plants. But obviously heavily inspired by them.
Yes! Have a great weekend beautiful people! Thanks Rebecca 🌷❤
Nice video! This is probably my favorite band. I love their sound so much! The singer has incredible talent, ESPECIALLY LIVE. They are incredible live.
I used to call them “not zeppelin” but now that I’ve actually listened to their music, I’m a fan. Not a teenage girl, I’m 55 & love heavy metal. They impressed me.
Both their debut & second albums are really good. They released a brand new single last week. Highly recommend having a listen to all of it.
