The inspiration is clearly there. But the legend himself gave his blessings: th-cam.com/video/ePIAaQwYMaM/w-d-xo.html and that’s enough for me! So yeah the inspiration and similarities are prevalent but that’s okay. Everyone is inspired by people they admire. This is a really early song and I’m excited to see how they’ve developed their unique sound over the years. I refuse to write off an entire band due to these circumstances, I will acknowledge criticism but that’s it, other than that we are here to enjoy music 🎶🙌🤝 much love all
ALL bands are influenced!! Im so tired of hearing this and then people are so quick to write them off because of it. People need to do the homework, hell listen to other bands and you'll always find similarities. Theres only so many notes and combinations. Just enjoy the music for christs sake!
The first time I heard this song my only thought was " Robert Plant owes someone back child support" but this band has really grown musically and really grown on me love them
The first time I saw Greta Van Fleet was on SNL. I was stunned by the similarities to old Led Zeppelin tracks, though they weren't trying to imitate Zeppelin and they were doing originals. The vibe was natural, not manufactured, not stolen from the greats of the past, but springing from the same well of inspiration as those greats.
They catch a lot of heat for "sounding like Led Zeppelin" and such. Personally I hear influences from lots of 70s rockers. And what band hasn't been influenced by other bands? Such a silly thing to focus on IMHO. And their sound has evolved with each album. Personally, I am a big fan.
There were ALLOT of bands that got influenced by The Beatles as well, and there were so many Beatles clone bands in the 60's. And they all were their own band.
this is the song I heard years ago and I thought it was a Zeppelin track...this is what got me checking them out...loved Zeppelin in the 70's ...love Greta now and I am excited about the future....they have brought so much joy into my life!!!
Other bangers from them that need to be heard are: When the Curtain Falls, Light My Love, Black Smoke Rising, Stardust Chords, Weight of Dreams and specifically the candlelight sessions version of Broken Bells. They're coming out with a new album in July so that will be worth checking out as well. Love these guys, finally bringing classic rock back to the mainstream!
First got to say I'm a Led Zeppelin freak, they are the gods of rock, yes there are enough similarities in this to say "inspired by" but no way the attacks they had of rip offs, tribute band etc, that was haters hating. They complain there is no music like the wonderful classic rock of the 70's then as soon as they hear so e they moan ! RP has an amazing voice and can do vocal gymnastics but he cannot sing as high or as pure as Josh ! Jake has just won the poll for best guitar solo of the 21st century, totally deserved, he kills it !
One of their songs that blew me away was weight of dreams, the guitarist has an INSANE solo, which actually won him best guitar solo of the 21st century!!
This caught my attention 4 years ago, and I've been addicted since. They wrote this when very young, in their mid teens. The maturity and skill of their musicianship now is much better now. Definitely a big arena band now with a huge fan base .
Greta Van Fleet are awesome! There is so much more you need to hear. Anything live is what you want to see and hear. They are fantastic live. Yes the Singer (Josh Kiszka), Bass player (Sam Kiszka), and Jake Kiszka (Lead Guitar) are brothers, Josh and Jake are twins and 3 years older than Sam. Danny Wagner is their childhood friend (Drummer). The twins were 20 and Sam and Danny were 17 when this hit the airwaves and they began touring the states and the world. They won a Grammy for Best Rock Album from their first EP. Great reaction!!
Just with that intro, it made me stop and go "Really? It's going to be like that, huh?" So happy I found these guys. With all the audio/digital/autotuned stuff that's pumped out these days, Greta Van Fleet is such a revelation and a breath of fresh air for the music industry.
Agreed! I caught a tune on the car radio about a month ago. I thought it was a Zep tune that got past me somehow. Heard the group name and I’ve been immersed in all things GVF since. Besides their outrageous musical talent, they are wholesome, hilarious and easy on the eyes. 😊
Great vocals!! He sings that good live, Jake shreds that guitar as they jam live on stage, its amazing!! I can't wait to see them again in November. I'm totally in love with their music,. Thanks for your reaction. Great as always. 😊 Oh, they have just released 2 singles from their new album 'Starcatcher (out in July)' Sacred the thread and Meeting the master. Both are excellent.
I love that…”Maybe my headphones aren’t loud enough…” Yes, blast it in the car! It’s a driving song, after all! I’m 62 and me and my older sister have seen them live several times and going to Philly to see them again Sept 19th! We can’t wait!
Love this one, you should listen to the Red Rock Concert that is also a visual tribute to the 60's. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Also, check out another band called The Warning, they also have a fresh Hard Rock vibe.
His voice runs chills thru my spine. I'm completely blown away....will be my summer listening in order to prepare for their show at Madison Square Garden in September.
Gotta tell you I'm 71 years old.. I just turned eighteen when led zeppelin dropped their first album. These boys are not led zeppelin. But they are great. I got to see them live last September. Their live performance is as good as their studio versions.. Peace ✌️
The guitar player & the singer are Twins. They're from Frankenmuth Michigan About an hour and a 1/2 North of me. The base player is their younger brother & the drummer just a friend of the family.
Hard to believe a bunch of fifteen-year-olds put this together in the backyard I have followed this band since 2016, you need to come back and visit this song Live it's a whole different Beast
I found them a few years ago and I've been hooked. Broken Bells is great and Age of Machine has some really good guitar and bass work as well. They're still releasing new stuff now too and they're killing it.
I am a Zeppelin fan. First time i’ve heard this song, i thought i missed some Jimmy Page riff. Then i thought it’s Robert Plant’s voice. I did not understand how could i have missed acZeppelin song. Then my daughter said this is Greta van Fleet. I loved this song immediately - exactly because it reminded me of my old favorites. However: the similarities end here. If you listen to their other songs, as time goes by they are playing more and more in their original GVF style that carries the old rock’s features, but definitely different from anybody else’s. You can like it or not, but being cruelly critical of them because 19-20 years old Jake plays the guitar as good as Jimmy Page and Josh’s vocal is as good as Robert Plan’s, is ridiculous. I’d be happy to see more of their songs first reaction here. I think they are extremely talented and entertaining musicians, and a big joy for me to hear old style rock.
Im so happy to have introduced you to this band Yushould checkout how all of their albums and many songs are connected Its all a muscal and visual journey Thia was the 1st song I heard fromthem ad I had the same reaction My jaws dropped at the 1st scream
Oh you should listen to the long version of lover leaver or weight of dreams. Guitar is insane in this songs, terrific solo in the last one! and my favorite broken bells candle light session 😍
I recommended ALL of the songs on this EP (they combined this first EP with another set of songs and released it as a double EP called from the fires. It won a Grammy for best rock album.
Growing up a Michigander, my brother turned me on to these Michigan boys before they were famous. Been able to catch them live twice now. Awesome music.
When I watch this video it reminds me of how young they were when they started. Their moms had to accompany them to various venues because they were still minors. And before they played at a party hosted by Elton John, who suggested that they change their stage attire to something that you’d see in the 70’s and 80’s. My BFF since junior high has lived in Frankenmuth remembers them not only playing in local bars, but also having them wait on the, at the market. BTW Robert Plant likes them. He was asked about them during an interview several years ago and he said Josh was a good singer.
Very good young band. The first time I heard this song was when it first came out 5-6 years ago on our local radio station - - - we all thought it was a lost Led Zep track or something being played. They are by no means Led Zep level, but they are good. I suggest the next GVF song you review, which is my favorite, is 'Black Smoke Rising'
First time on your page man. 1st time I heard Greta Van Fleet I was blown away. Finally this generation is getting to experience what true rock is all about. Our heroes are getting up there in age We need younger bands to carry the torch
The first couple of times I heard greta van fleet was the safari song in highway tone on the radio. I never heard the band announced. So I just assumed somebody had dug up. Some old led zeppelin that never got released. Then I found out it was a new band that had rediscovered classic rock. And they have the talent to absolutely pull it off. Salvo do a deeper dive these guys are venominal.
Very Zeppelin like In the beginning. Try Safari Song. Also do When The Curtain Falls. Who better to emulate than Zeppelin? Personally I love them! I'm 63 and I'm ALL FOR ROCK!
Sucker for Jake's guitar magic? Well then, "Weight of Dreams" is for you!!!! Mind blowing guitar solo in that song!!!! Jake just won #1 guitarist for his part in that song too!!!! 🤯🔥🎸🔥🎸 🥰🥰GVF🥰🥰
When this album came out, the Zep comparisons came out in droves. I always had multiple issues with that. 1. Every artist imitates the people who inspired them, at least in the beginning. That’s how you start as an artist. 2. There are definitely worse musical influences to take than Led Zeppelin. 3. I’ve always thought these guys sounded more like the Black Crowes than anything. (A claim could easily be made that the Crowes were also Zeppelin knockoffs, but I digress.) You play this style of music, this well, you’re going to get comparisons. I never understood why that was a knock on them. Like, “boohoo, they sound like one of the biggest rock bands in history,” it takes talent to reach that level, or else anyone and everyone would be doing it.
I think of this song as being about a car that pulls up to a pretty person in the next lane. First, Josh does ah ah ah ah (car engine trying to turn over/start. Then, the tambourine is they keys rattling, idling for minute, then AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! Off they go!!!!!
Phenomenal! I love your review! You see it!! I saw them in concert last night in Denver on their world tour. It was so fun and an excellent concert. These boys love performing and their audience! But they didn't play Highway Tune! Tragic!
Not my favorite song, but it catapulted them, so I can't complain about that. It just seems like eons ago. If you like the dirty nasty stank face riffs, try Safari Song and When The Curtain Falls. The solo in that one had me completely sold on them. I dove in head first and have never came back up for air since 😂
The Ah ah ah ah is trying to sound like an engine trying to start. the tambourine are the keys, then all hell breaks loose! this was written when all the boys were girl crazy! Teenagers!
My Granddaughters 24 and she follows these guys all around the country! Of course they're influenced by Zeppelin but that's fine with me..they sound better than the rest of the bands around today ..they pull in the crowds and alot of parents go with them which I think is pretty cool..✌️
I was working in a UK HMV store in late 2017 and they played the ep before the store opened and the young assistant manager asked me what I thought of it. "F***ing brilliant" I replied. "Who did you think it was " he said. I replied "Led Zeppelin but I had never heard the songs before so I googled it and found out it was Greta Van Fleet".
I dont understand all the hate they get. Im older lives thur the greats Zeppelin, Aerosmith etc. I thought people like me wanted that kind of music back.? These kids have done that, i only wish there were more out there. I think they are fantastic.
Greta got a lot of flack when this song came out for being a Led Zeppelin cover band. But they aren’t. The lead singers voice sounds like Robert Plants, the song sounds vintage 70s with some modern guitar work thrown in.
When this song came out these guys were in their early 20's. I want to say 22ish. The lead singer wasn't even a part of the band until they heard him sing randomly and realized he was really good.
Technically thats incorrect. Josh was always the lead singer they are three brothers ( Josh & Jake being twins) plus childhood friend on drums, they always played at home BUT Josh struggled to be heard in the garage over the speakers etc. According to Jake, one day he just screamed out to push past the instruments and they all stopped playing and just looked at him. That was the day they thought yeah we've got something here, and they were right. 😅
The guy on the mike ? They always knew Josh could sing, he's Jake's twin & Sam's older brother. They always played together in the garage. The issue was Josh couldn't be heard. because of all the noise playing in a garage with speakers etc. One day in frustration he screamed out to push past it and they all stopped playing. Then they realised we have something here
There are a few other bands "similar" to this. Some other bands you may want to check out: Rival Sons, Dirty Honey, The Strokes. There are probably more, but those are bands I have checked out myself. Michigan for the win!!!!

They wrote this song when they were all girl crazy! teenagers

Dud just say it man they sound like "Led Zeppelin Robert Plant" 😅😅 and Robert said the punk stole his voice, and then gave them his blessing 🥰🥰
You are gonna revisit them again? Seeing with the latest two albums, they really developed more into their own style. Especially Meeting The Master.
❤😅
The first time I heard this song my only thought was " Robert Plant owes someone back child support" but this band has really grown musically and really grown on me love them
How funny 😂 I'm just glad they are bringing back great rock and roll ✌️
😆
I just about spit my milk out reading that!
Agree 100%
me too I thought it was a song I had missed somehow

The vibe was natural, not manufactured, not stolen from the greats of the past, but springing from the same well of inspiration as those greats.
That's what got me hooked on them .
When this song hit their Moms were asked when they were going to tour. Moms answer was they needed to graduate high school first!!
They had me at, AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHOOOOOOAAAAHHHHHAAAA
They catch a lot of heat for "sounding like Led Zeppelin" and such. Personally I hear influences from lots of 70s rockers. And what band hasn't been influenced by other bands? Such a silly thing to focus on IMHO. And their sound has evolved with each album. Personally, I am a big fan.

I LOOOOOVE seeing the shock on people's faces when they hear what Josh can do for the first time. 😀
Other bangers from them that need to be heard are: When the Curtain Falls, Light My Love, Black Smoke Rising, Stardust Chords, Weight of Dreams and specifically the candlelight sessions version of Broken Bells. They're coming out with a new album in July so that will be worth checking out as well. Love these guys, finally bringing classic rock back to the mainstream!
The only one not a brother is the drummer! Josh and jake are twins! I love their songs!
“Black Smoke Rising” has got to be your next reaction man. It’s an instant classic
You got it!They wrote this when they were 14 yrs old and it was the first song they put out to get themselves out there… and it worked!
It was soooo cool to hear such a classic rock sound coming from such young guys and especially proud it’s a Michigan band!!! ❤️
First got to say I'm a Led Zeppelin freak, they are the gods of rock, yes there are enough similarities in this to say "inspired by" but no way the attacks they had of rip offs, tribute band etc, that was haters hating.

I'm glad you heard these guys!! What a breath of fresh air they are in the desert of today's music.
FINALLY!!! Bringing back classic rock maybe? The vocalist and guitarist are twins. The bassist is their brother. Danny is amazing on the drums.
Tell me one thing - identical twins or just fraternal?
One of their songs that blew me away was weight of dreams, the guitarist has an INSANE solo, which actually won him best guitar solo of the 21st century!!
This caught my attention 4 years ago, and I've been addicted since. They wrote this when very young, in their mid teens. The maturity and skill of their musicianship now is much better now. Definitely a big arena band now with a huge fan base .

I am obsessed. To put it mildly. GVF is here to rule. Josh voice makes me want more. These guys....peace out!
Agreed! I caught a tune on the car radio about a month ago. I thought it was a Zep tune that got past me somehow. Heard the group name and I’ve been immersed in all things GVF since. Besides their outrageous musical talent, they are wholesome, hilarious and easy on the eyes. 😊

Oh, they have just released 2 singles from their new album 'Starcatcher (out in July)' Sacred the thread and Meeting the master. Both are excellent.
I wored at House of Blues Houston and had the privilege to work thier show in the music hall. It was an amazing experience.
I love that…”Maybe my headphones aren’t loud enough…” Yes, blast it in the car! It’s a driving song, after all! I’m 62 and me and my older sister have seen them live several times and going to Philly to see them again Sept 19th! We can’t wait!
Love this!
Jake and Josh are identical twins. Sam on bass/keyboards baby bro, Danny long time family friend!
Love this one, you should listen to the Red Rock Concert that is also a visual tribute to the 60's. I'm sure you will enjoy it. Also, check out another band called The Warning, they also have a fresh Hard Rock vibe.

Oh you should listen to the long version of lover leaver or weight of dreams. Guitar is insane in this songs, terrific solo in the last one! and my favorite broken bells candle light session 😍
"Weight of Dreams" is a must listen!!! One of my absolute favorites. 4 minute guitar solo, stellar vocals, amazing everything
Do the title track...Black Smoke Rising...a lot of peoples favorite song by GVF.
Id suggest the Weight of Dreams/Highway tune live at pinkpop 2022 if your high you will go on a journey
I recommended ALL of the songs on this EP (they combined this first EP with another set of songs and released it as a double EP called from the fires. It won a Grammy for best rock album.
Growing up a Michigander, my brother turned me on to these Michigan boys before they were famous. Been able to catch them live twice now. Awesome music.

We need younger bands to carry the torch
I wish this one was longer 🔥
Edit: THAT’S WHAT SHE SAID
I have no problem with bands wearing their influences on their sleeves. Wish more groups would do that.
The first couple of times I heard greta van fleet was the safari song in highway tone on the radio. I never heard the band announced. So I just assumed somebody had dug up. Some old led zeppelin that never got released. Then I found out it was a new band that had rediscovered classic rock. And they have the talent to absolutely pull it off. Salvo do a deeper dive these guys are venominal.
Jacob is a master guitarist!
Try broken bells!
3 brothers! The singer and guitarist are twins...the bass player/keyboardist is their younger brother and the drummer is a friend!
Very Zeppelin like In the beginning. Try Safari Song. Also do When The Curtain Falls. Who better to emulate than Zeppelin? Personally I love them! I'm 63 and I'm ALL FOR ROCK!
More More!!
Highway Tune was featured in the major movie, Ford v Ferrari
Sucker for Jake's guitar magic? Well then, "Weight of Dreams" is for you!!!! Mind blowing guitar solo in that song!!!! Jake just won #1 guitarist for his part in that song too!!!! 🤯🔥🎸🔥🎸 🥰🥰GVF🥰🥰
Yes! Weight of Dreams must be next!

Welcome to the Peaceful Army (GVF fans). I’ll be at that show in Detroit! They are even better live and highly recommend going
There are actually 3 brothers. The singer and guitarist are twins and their younger brother plays bass.
My Granddaughters 24 and she follows these guys all around the country! Of course they're influenced by Zeppelin but that's fine with me..they sound better than the rest of the bands around today ..they pull in the crowds and alot of parents go with them which I think is pretty cool..✌️
weight of dreams or stardust chords live… top tier
Just so you know. ROBERT PLANT feels that way. I found out about this band via an interview with Mr. Plant and he was freaking RAVING about them. lol
3 brothers in the band!!!
Three out of the four are brothers. The guitarist and singer are twins
Built By Nations!!
I was working in a UK HMV store in late 2017 and they played the ep before the store opened and the young assistant manager asked me what I thought of it. "F***ing brilliant" I replied.

Please read the new Guitar magazine September issue. Jake's is on the cover & sets a few things straight. You will like it!
I adore them
Black smoke rising, broken bells, light my love and meeting the master please 🥹
Not only is there LED Zeppelin in that… there is The Cult Love Removal Machine.. strewn all through it. 😊
You can tell he was skeptical and didn’t want to like it, but ended up loving it so much and couldn’t hold back no matter how hard he tried 😂
I have ALL their album's
The main riff is very similar to Led Zeppelin's "The Rover".
The song is FIRE 🔥
Refreshing ! Yes , partially because there's no bands anymore just individuals.
The BEST newish Group by a MILE!!! 🇺🇲🇮🇱
Please do more GVF!! Preferably “The Weight of Dreams” or “Age of Man”
Close your eyes and set the clock back 40 years and you’d think it’s a new Led Zeppelin album. Incredible!!!
When I heard "Safari Song" I thought it was an unreleased Zeppelin song.
Try love her leave her take her believe her
Greta got a lot of flack when this song came out for being a Led Zeppelin cover band. But they aren’t. The lead singers voice sounds like Robert Plants, the song sounds vintage 70s with some modern guitar work thrown in.
Safari Song is nice.
This band has had many old school influences. It is obvious to me. Of course Led Zeppelin, Yes, and others. And I’m glad!! ☮️❤️
3 brothers

The funny thing is, the other band members had no idea the guy on the mic could even sing.
The guy on the mike ? They always knew Josh could sing, he's Jake's twin & Sam's older brother. They always played together in the garage. The issue was Josh couldn't be heard. because of all the noise playing in a garage with speakers etc. One day in frustration he screamed out to push past it and they all stopped playing. Then they realised we have something here
Meeting the Master - Greta Van Fleet
Listen KALEO " No good " Live at United Record Pressing.
More gvf please! Age of machine or Meeting the master?
Yup this one is on my play list. Tis a lil similar to LZ. ☮️🤘🏼
There are a few other bands "similar" to this. Some other bands you may want to check out: Rival Sons, Dirty Honey, The Strokes. There are probably more, but those are bands I have checked out myself. Michigan for the win!!!!
