Robert Plant mentioned them in an interview with pride. That is how I learned about them. They give me hope for the future.
That wasn't pride that was sarcasm.
@@charlesm8482 Opinions vary.
@@s1d299 opinions do vary but sarcasm is sarcasm
@@charlesm8482 True. But in which direction was the sarcasm going? Opinions vary about that.
@@s1d299 plant was very obvious about "hmmmm i wonder who he sounds like, hmmm really sounds like someone i know, HMMMM"
I don't get the trash they get for the Zeppelin similarities, should be glad kids this young are talented enough to sound like one of the greatest bands ever, instead they get trashed.
Just to be compared to LZ would be an honor.
Because we already have Led Zeppelin. We don’t need classic rock jobro.
Emanuel Torres
Emanuel, if you think they sound like Led Zeppelin, you just hold Zeppelin to very low standards. Just please stop breathing.....
We do not still have Led Zeppelin. They originally broke up in 1980 when Bonham died. Please let me know where I can see them live and when I can expect new music. Until then I will be more than happy supporting Greta for being talented enough to be compared to one of the greatest rock bands in history.
Mario Rivera lol so edgy, enjoy your pathetic existence fuck head. Cheers
The more I listen to these guys the less they sound like Zeppelin and the more they start to have their own sound
Me thinks Black Crowes too!
Exactly, I think they're going to hit a momentum and move it like they've been set on fire!
Agreed, I see everyone's point n' stuff but I don't really see how they sound exact
Rome Kostis, quit listening to the voices in your head.
Honestly the only reason they get compared to zeppelin is because of the singers voice. I think if he had a different voice there wouldn't be any comparisons at all
Proof that people are thirsty for pure Rock 'n Roll. Thanks GVF!
GVF?
Hugh Williams People are really thirsty for good rock n roll. It's like a desert and these guys are the oasis. It's not a mirage, it's real. Keep up the great work.
pure? no, to many similarities, prove me wrong.
Finally
Just listen to the better Rival Sons.
They are a great band, full of excitement and energy. It is so great to have good music back and not all that pop pre-recorded stuff. These guys really sing and play instruments. I love Led Zep but I never mistake this band for Led Zep when I hear them. Fans should be rooting for their success. They are taking us back to a time of great music.
"It was a song that was already floating around in the universe" well said GOD I LOVE THIS BAND!!!!!!
Can't believe these guys are so young and so good! It's nice to hear that real rock-n-roll is not dead.
My daughter just posted this band on facebook and I was blown away! I am now watching every youtube video on this band. I'm 55 and grew up with heavy metal and classic rock and it is so refreshing to hear some real talent come out of this generation. Keep on rockin and if you ever come to Chicago, I will definitely be there, with my daughter, of course :)
Thanks for checking it out, Sandi!
I saw them two nights ago in Nashville. It was amazing to see the range of ages in the audience. Anywhere from 8 to 80. It was a great show.
Wish I was the eight, however i'm closer to 80 I think. Oh yea, I am.
Sandi Harnisch
For me it was my good friend's nephew. Thirty years my junior. :)
I sat up straight and went,
"Whoa! Those boys were raised on rock and roll!"
I was also very impressed with my friend's nephew's taste in music. :)
GVF! Keeping the Rock and Rolling Groove Alive for another Generation!
Now a Father and Daughter can go to the same Rock Show! How Sweet!
Stay Away from the Mosh Pit, Honey! Daddy, is that you Stage Diving Again?
I’m sure you’ll both have a Rockin Good Time at the Show!
Rock isn’t Dead it was only Resting and Recuperating on the Ventilator! Now the Monster is Alive Again! It’s Alive!
They are popular, because finally a band has captured that Zeppelin feel in their music. So many tried and failed.
Who cares what band they sound like, these guys rock! Dont like it dont listen. Keep up the good work !
Well spoke.
Greta van Fleet didnt usurp Hard Rock. They found it in the gutter and picked it up.
What a great quote. Sounds truly Imperial! BTW, very true.
joe k well said.
Truth
They even look like they picked up their clothes in the trash and put it on. Perfect quote btw. They're the personification of "personification".
joe k You are a really Funny Guy? Comedian?
It's great to see these guys are so sincere and take their music seriously, they come across as being so genuine!
In the end way more people don’t care if they sound a little like zeppelin. These guys are huge and most will support them.
they sound horrible. fake. I'd rather go see a tribute band. Id have more respect.
@@sithebugguy3193
I was on a GVF concert. I bet you don't. Either way, I can't agree, they sounded great at the concert. I didn't even know their music before that, half of the people didn't even know them. Btw they don't need your respect. ;)
@@sithebugguy3193 You're a cold hearted fk. Lighten up Frances!!
@@sithebugguy3193 always gonna be whiny children like you
HUGE TALENT! No piercing, no tattoos, no makeup, etc... Simple and beautiful!
just a fake ass, manufactured 70s style
@@kg356 not 70s rock
talent-mocking . they are no LZ. theyre fake and unoriginal.
I really don't give a fuck if they sound like zeppelin. Because they create their own original songs!! And I truly believe they are the start of something great. I sure as hell got allot more motivated to play guitar even more. Before I discovered GVF I always had this thought in the back of my mind, like there's no point in getting better at guitar because nobody gives a fuck anyway.. but this gives me hope.
If they don't change their sound they will not be something great that's for sure. I wish they could bring back rock to the popular scene but it is not by doing basically the same thing someone else did 50 years ago that this will happen. GVF are very talented and should use this to sound like GVF. Also on a side note I think that Zeppelin had more depth in their song like how Jimmy Page involved the occult in his song writting and his live performances. Also if you play guitar just to show off in front of people well it's useless. Play guitar because you like it, not because it is something trendy
Hunterend07 this is very true. And they aren’t “the start” there are other Rock N Roll bands out there, people just aren’t looking for it. I have a running list of current artists because for me Rock N Roll is the top of the heap. It lives on and these guys can be a part of it. They absolutely must work to move left or right of the Zep sound.
This is George what I meant with the "start" is they're the first to really get recognized.
Slash Le Pew well, we have others like The Rival Sons (been going for a while now), Sweden has a whole crap ton of Rock N Roll going on and has for a while too. I could make a list here, but my point is these guys are VERY talented and I think as long as they push more into what they have brewing on a track like black smoke rising which pushes off the Zep vibe a bit more, they will carve out their special place. But I want to make sure he other great RockN Roll musicians get attention! Long live Rock!
This is George I looked up rival sons. They lean more towards modern rock imo. Not my cup of tea.
These guys are very refreshing and people need to give them a break. After all, its been 50 years since Zeppelin.
JB Bgin lol.....can’t wait!
40
When Robert Plant was starting out, he, himself had influences. One of his was Elvis, the King. All the greats have influences. whats wrong with that....nada. Haven't heard anything new like this that gave me goose bumps in a long long time. I can't get enough!
Please tell me the guys aren't depressed, hate life, hate their parents, and into drugs. Just good music from guys having fun.
Wow the first band to come along in a while that makes me excited to actually buy their music and support them! Good interview guys.
Ryan Iggy thanks for the compliment!
Ryan Iggy Hey, wanna be my boyfriend? Only if you like Led Zeppelin too.
Making love connections one Zep at a time!
Two Doods Reviews - He actually is my boyfriend, and I had no idea he commented on this video until I was scrolling through the comments. Haha. One Zep loving couple though. Thanks for this awesome interview! I can’t wait to see them live!
@@KaylaGriffith you think these guys have talent like zep? you're an idiot. they are a mockery....and they're trying to be. its obvious. this sound is old fashioned. wont make a comeback. classic is classic for a reason.
Hung out with these guys after a show in Austin.. cool as fuck, chicks everywhere. Rock n roll is revived
Hellyeah!
Jim Baker Nice! Did they have like an after party thing after the show? I'm actually going to see them in Austin @Stubb's BarBQ, this May.
I'm an hour south of Austin, wish I'd known about them.
Jim Baker Did you bring Tammy Faye?
"They're Led Zeppelin one."- Robert Plant
and theyre doing it on purpose and accepting good notoriety a a talented band when theyre just a mock-cover band. its disrespectful. I dont hear good music from them.
Was it as disrespectful when Led Zeppelin blatantly stole from black blues artists when they started out?
@@sithebugguy3193 Fuck off. Until you can pick up a guitar and do better than them, shut your mouth. Your opinion is invalid.
@@sithebugguy3193 I bet you also write comments like "we will never have another led Zeppelin" stfu
@@sithebugguy3193 You're deaf af!! GTFOH
These guys are awesome, they're a young Led Zeppelin and they should be proud. Led Zeppelin was the greatest bands around. Great job guys!
Thanks for watching Dawn!
Uncanny, right?
Remember Kingdom Come, and how much crap they got for "sounding like Led Zeppelin?"
You can't be a young Led Zeppelin, It's not Possible, It's like saying you are a young Beatles or Elvis, There is no equal to these Giants, And only imitations are comparable. And the imitation is so obvious, It's like a painter throwing tons of paint on a canvas and being compared to Van Gogh.
READY FOR THE WORLD were praised as "slow jam kings" & scorned as PRINCE knockoffs."Prince said we stole his sound, but that we were the only 1's to do it right"(& I read somewhere that ELTON JOHN likes them just fine:)
Airborne is the modern AC/DC and these guys can be the modern Zeppelin. John Mayer can fit in there...
Will kids finally have some modern guitar heroes to look up to? I hope so!
You're not listening to the right modern music.
Ian Shiemke Dude, unless you're listening to new age metal, there is almost nothing new happening. Hardly anyone plays just straight rock and roll or blues.
All the kids want to do now days is make beats on their laptop and midi interface.
Heck, even all the music stores are closing all over the country because kids aren't buying guitars like they used too.
Justan Optimist So, I looked into the band's you listed. Barbarian Overlords sound cool. I was about to audition for a band that sounded similar to them a few years back. I also see their channel has about 50 more subs than the lady that shot up youtube. Not promising as far as guitar hero bands go.
Courtney Barnett? .....uhhh..no...just no.
The Lovely Eggs sound like the indy bands I used to listen to in the 90's..... Cool, but not inspiring.
King Gizzard....Uhh yeah,(sarcasm) this song will make them the next Nirvana....
th-cam.com/video/Q-i1XZc8ZwA/w-d-xo.html
I feel bad for you if you think any of the bands you listed are anywhere near "guitar hero status".
Secondly, I love how people get their panties and bras all twisted up over me simply saying we need guitar heroes...
Justan Optimist Thanks for your long opinion. I will treasure it always. Have a great weekend.
Milan Vyas stoner / doom / sludge are the styles most influenced by sabbath (ozzy era) but have a doom band called orchid that sounds specifically like black sabbath
Just discovered this band today (28 Jul 17). A friend told me about them and I am completely blown away!!!!!
Thanks for watching!
I know what you mean. I'm 48 and got bored with music even quit playing my bass and guitar 10 years ago. I was dropping my daughter's off on their 1st day of school and turned on the radio and the DJ said check out this new band. I thought I was listening to a lost led Zeppelin track I've had Goosebumps for 30 minutes . It's like a day of enlightenment. I'm going to listen to everything I can find by these guys all day.
Great story, thanks for sharing!
do cover bands blow you away too?
Next time, turn down the music. Nothing wrong with some background music, but it’s a problem when I have to struggle to hear the band talk over the music.
We blame our producer!
it is called multi tasking people. You do it every day, i hope.
@@TwoDoodsReviews Yeah, the music doesn't have to compete. We can hear the songs any time; this is our only chance to hear this interview. Also, their mic setup was HORRIBLE (it kept cutting out what they were saying), but I'm guessing that may have been beyond your control. Either way, the two problems combined make this a frustrating listen.
These young guys are awesome with old sounds of classic rock but with a flair of their own. I know they’re going far. Just waiting for them to get close enough to go see them live!!!
Extreme talent. They can stand on their own, I wish people would STOP comparing them to Zeppelin!! NOONE, will ever walk in Zeps shoes!!
So much potential, I wanna see where it takes them, I have NOT been this excited about a band since Dream Theater.
Preach it...nice DT mention!
potential. perfect word. Ill take that word over talented. thank you.
I hate how everyone hates on these guys: they're young; they're developing their unique sound, and dude can't help how his voice sounds.
"unique"
They are young and they're developing Led Zeppelins unique sound.
Similar to Led Zeppelins rise, bands are gonna be influenced and sound like other bands. It is how it works. GVF is most definitely developing a unique sound. Can tell as more and more music comes out. Get off your high horse and start appreciating the music being made.
So if people don't agree with your taste in music they are suddenly 'wrong' and 'on a high horse'? Led Zeppelin rose to fame because they did not sound like anything that came before! Play some of the old blues records that Page and Plant loved to listen too and see if you can find any of them that sound as similar to Zep as GvF does to Zep. They sound a lot like Led Zeppelin and you know it. I don't say that there is anything wrong with that, i'm merely stating that that is the reason for a lot of people (including me) to not find them as special as people are saying they are. And thats just an opinion, so please explain to everyone why we are all on 'high horses' for disliking GvF because they (in our eyes) don't bring anything new to the table.
Led Zeppelin did sound like bands that came before. They were heavily influenced and were constantly called for "ripping off" others in the beginning. Such as Janis Joplin. Plant was very obviously heavily influenced by her stage mannerisms. Point is influences aren't a bad thing, and shit, Zeppelin is a damn good thing to sound like. They are still young and developing, yet to even release an album. They are extremely talented and are making great music and are still young. If you find them far less special because they sound like Zeppelin, that's a bit confusing to me. All bands sound similar to another band somewhere. In a lot of the music GVF sounds like Rush and many others. People over-analyze shit too much, if it's good music, it's good fucking music.
Also, to say they aren't bringing anything new to the table.....who else is making this kind of music in today's world? No one. They are making new god damn music.
People are on their high horses for hating on GVF only for sounding like Zep, because Zep DID THE SAME THING. Very simple. Just appreciate good music when it finally comes around.
These guys are different in a good way and the people that get it know it
They have the power and talent to start a whole new generation of rock!
I'M 70 YEARS OLD BUT I LOVE LISTEN TO THIS BAND . Each member really does his part to make there sound really fun to listen to
I wish them the best of luck; very talented young men. I hope they diversify their sound in the future to quiet all the Zeppelin comparisons xx
The Good Life Naturally, their influences are the same as Zeppelin's, and The Black crows, so they are going to sound like those bands. It's all good to me cause it sounds awesome.
You know what's really funny about all of these comparisons to Led? When my dad heard the opening notes from Highway Tune, my dad's eyes got huge, a giant smile cut across his face and he said, "John Fogerty!"
Angela Sluder Ha!
Well that doesnt make sense. John fogerty and band. is no where neay Higway Tune. Higway tune is 90% led Zeppelin.
Suspicious Milk kind of hard to quiet the comparisons when the singer tries so hard to sound like Robert Plant, dress like him and poorly pantomime his stage mannerisms.
As a 60 year old who grew up with rock and still to this day!! I also listen to bands like Trivuim and Sylosis etc.
These kids are brilliant, and have got something that will take them a long way. As for sounding like Led Zep, well seriously, who wouldn't want to have a voice like Robert Plant? The man even gave the thumbs up for them. Hope to hear GVF for many years to come!!!!
Hav'nt been this excited over a band in a long LONG time!
Absolutely loved the interview. I was just introduced to these guys recently by my friend and bassist I play with and he said "Knowing you, you will love these guys" You know, I've had the sensation that good ol rock has been pretty much dead for quite some time in the music industry. Listening to these guys and The Magpie Salute gets my hopes that all the crap will eventually disappear and we will have a glorious time for Rock n Roll like in the 70´s
Yeah.... it's the blues connection helping drive this thing. In the tradition of Zeppelin here - they're recapturing the classic hard rock and metal sound - with its blues roots - and its grabbing people. Plus a lot of that mystical prose and poetry from the classic bands. And yeah, the hair and the duds and the minimalist stage presence are cool. I saw many of the classic 60s and 70s groups in live concert - and these guys bring back the joy for me. No frills and no BS..... just very very good musicianship and real chemistry between them. And the drummer reminds me a lot of Bonham, BTW.
hartley81848184 The drummer has no likeness to Bonham in any way imaginable, what are you talking about?
People will always talk crap , just keep up what your doing , rock and roll
Just own your Zeppelin influence! It's amazing, nothing to hide.
His voice sounds a lot like plant. But if you pay attention to the guitar, drum or bass to led Zeppelin it's a completely different vibe than led in most of their songs.
I get why they find the constant comparison annoying. They really do have their own sound.
It’s just annoying how they *refuse* to say ‘led zeppelin’ or ‘robert plant’. They just avoid it at all cost
"Guns and Roses sounds like the sound you hear coming from the proctologist's office." - EVH
A band that reaches out to music lovers of all ages. Sounds good to me, as one of the truest music lovers, I'm highly thrilled to come across this band.I hope the rest of our youth will follow, for I dig what's going on here, and I'd love to see a bunch of fresh new bands come out in the name of ROCK revive it and keep it alive, and possibly improve it.
They sound like themselves. Incredible!
Look at the picture here. The logo, these young guys... It could so be the year 1969!!!
i know. great mock-cover band I agree.
@@sithebugguy3193 lmao do better, get bigger, change people and I'll let you say that buddy
WOW love crankin up this music, fresh 70"s style...
Right on, George!
People are so tired of untalented Musicians that when the real deal does come along we embrace them are we're loyal to the end! Wishing them the World! But boys don't get into drugs dammit don't want to see another bunch of extremely talented artists gone by the age of 27... Love you!
Their words their thoughts their actions. Unbelievably mature for their ages. Their parents must’ve been very attentive! As a parent myself of a young person In their mid 20s,I can only say the parents of these fine young men must be so proud. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. We need more human beings like this! And I haven’t even touched on their musical skills. The words in their songs the words that they say what they put out into the universe is so amazing!! thank you.
Love these guys,i enjoy there interviews just as much as there playing,what a pleasure these young man are,how can you not love these guys,for there age they know much about there music roots,and have great passion in everything they do,im so happy for them,and im enjoying what they are doing.The best to you Gueta van Fleet,health and happiness always.
This band is authentic. Talented, pure. Blessed with talent from beyond.
Polite, Beautiful Blessed souls. Where they are at in their music is because of a GOD given talent, smart beyond their years. Love them and their music. Also blessed with Looks. And a lot of hair. Love that song Black smoke rising . And Flower power. Really Love them all.❤😊👍👍👍👍👍👍you guys rock.
Because, seriously, the EP is just NOT enough!
Agreed- hope to hear new music SOON, Angela!
I especially want to hear an album that includes When the Cold Wind blows. It's easily the strongest song in their repertoire.
Oooh, haven't heard Angela! Thanks for the tip~
Can't wait to see you guys. Come to the Elgin IL area there are some great venues here and you would be appreciated.
This band is a breath of fresh air. The fact that they do sound like Zeppelin is a blessing, being as Zep wont make any new music..
As far as "copying" goes, thats pretty hypocritical since like a quarter of Leds material are covers to begin with. Appreciate the music & quite being critiques, this isnt fucking Rolling Stone.
Yo, well said!
You spoke in wisdom brother. So much BS towards those boys, it has to stop.
you know how you like a certain talented well known actor and then a stand up comedian impersonates that actor and it makes you love that comedian for it. It's because the comedian isn't trying to be that actor...it's just a comedic bit. thats cool. but these guys are just imitating zep and trying to take credit for being just as naturally talented.
also, any music similarities with zep's past were obviously coincidence since they wrote a bazillion other gnarly original tunes. this bad doesn't deserve notoriety on talent.
all Im saying is they change their name to the "sons of z" and it's all good w/me.
I am 64 years old and I am so grateful to them for their unique and talented way to play rock.
Stay away from the dope and you will have long Career BOYS.
AverageJoe Joe I like dope....
Drummer should stay away from alcohol
what the deuce ?
Smoke weed everyday
AverageJoe Joe get on the dope makes better music
I love their music!! I’m 50 and grew up listening to classic rock. It’s so great to hear a new band playing that style of music!! Awesome!!!! Come to Toronto!!
i hope this band serve as new open doors for new great rock bands, the return of rock :,)
These guys have just molded so many greats into one sound, what a powerhouse of music this band is!!!
Damn damn waited for ages.. I heard the airbourne last time .. but they didn't hit the spot..but these all hit the spot... bring on the psy rock back boys.........✌🏻️😇✌🏻️
honestly the best all around new band , power , clarity just god dam great . hope to hear these guys for years to come .thank you greta van fleet for the return of real great music thank you
The background music playing in this interview is totally useless and very annoying.
igoski1 I bet they think kids today need this distraction in order to stay interested. So obnoxious.
But, it's their own music....what's wrong with it?
it helps to lower the sound
The background music is fine.
@@yoyoyojo saying things like that make young kids that can save good music run away from it if you want good music back don't be like that about it with kids be gentle with it and thay will take it
just wondering today to my 30 yr old daughter - where did rock n roll go? glad to find these guys on u tube tonite. lov their story! hope they come to vegas
this sound is wow...2017?...sure it ain't 1977?
No doubt!
line clearance patriot no no sure it ain't the cusp of 69 70
Easy for you to say.
Robert couldn't sing like that after 1972
line clearance patriot its def 2017 writing and feel
the reason i looked these guys up is because a guy on hair nation said they sound like led zep, and he was right they do sound like zepplin , and thats why i love them!!!!!!!!!!!!! led zepplin is one of the best fucking bands of all time, so he might as well have said, "they sound like one of the best bands of all time". That is something to be PROUD of, not ashamed of..I really hope these guys keep it up and keep the good songs coming. I fucking prayed there would be a band like this! THANK YOU GOD!!!
I love these guys, I am shook, and I just gotta see them live soon!
Marilee Vasquez So good to see youngsters like yourself getting excited about Rock n Roll. \m/
I just discovered these guys the past month on the radio. I immediately thought Zeppelin as well, but I hope they grow more into themselves on the next album or release of songs. Good stuff regardless, very talented! Makes me happy knowing they're from a small town in Michigan like myself.
Title doesn't match content. These guys are awesome, dunno why you want to be so negative
yeah, awesomely mocking zep. no real talent. all they need to do is change their names to "The Sons of Z" and I will respect them and buy their stuff. maybe.
Si TheBugGuy lol get a life man
@@sithebugguy3193 edgy edgelord.
This is a cover band and fucking terrible they look like rejects from a gender re assignment clinic.
Si TheBugGuy wow how wrong you are
Love these guys! I listen to them all the time! And I’m an almost64 yr old grandma!
ROCK ON!
Nobody picks out the Weeknd for sounding like Michael Jackson. This band must be given the same respect The Weeknd gets.
What are you talking about?? The weekend gets referenced as Mike Jackson all the time!
Yes but the Weeknd is not being made to suffer for the fact he sounds like Michael Jackson, but these guys are getting 'called out' for sounding like LZ and the term 'called out' carries a negative connotation and is associated with negative criticism. That is the very first thing you see with this TH-cam video are those words 'called out' in large letters, which then serves to influence the viewer, at the very outset in a negative way towards GVF. Just remember a lot of people will only look at that headline and nothing else.You have to be very careful how things are phrased because the world is watching and making decisions and it has impact on this highly talented young band. The thought that went into that headline was machiavellian as in the actual interview the guy says they should 'embrace it'. when referring to the fact they sound like LZ.
Ktalks look, the world ain't fair, but that doesn't change the fact that they sound a lot like Led Zep, like the interviewer said, just embrace it
Cause any pop singer can be Michael Jackson and the pop singer thing..besides they ALL sound alike..But there will always and only be one Led Zeppelin...and they cant be reproduced..
They sound like nothing else but Zeppelin. Even the music playing in the background you think its Plant singing and Page playing his riffs...
if you didn't know it was them..
@@BX0207 are you being satirical? I'm not sure. But I think you're saying that Greta SOunds basically just like Led Zeppelin... correct me if i'm wrong.
I am 56 and I woke up for work this morning with the highway
song buzzing in my head from the night before, funny how music can do that, I
think the most notable trait of these young guys and their music is their
ability to rekindle a long dwindled adrenal rush music used to give me.
Consider I lived through the British invasion and listened to the birth and
development of the biggest bands ever to blaze trails into all our lives. What
is cool is that Led Zeppelin rose to fame at a time when the world was ready
for them and they were not hindered with familiarity and saturation of the
genera they would eventually posses , in other words they were not hindered by
some of the hurdles GVF has had to overcome , all this music has been done
before and done to death for decades , the fact that these guys are catching on
so quickly despite that, is testament to just how talented they are , the
cohesiveness of their sound the lyrics melodies tempo timing beat inflections
and blazing stunningly unique vocals by Josh are what make GVF able to bulldoze
through a jaded audience deadened by decades of musical mediocrity and ignite
the excitement in people garnishing reactions such as the ones on this blog, to
simply say as some have that GVF is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and that is
their appeal is crushingly marginalizing , my God listen to the acoustic
version of Black Smoke Rising, Edge of Darkness OMG these are genuinely
masterful songwriters singers and musicians. These guys are on fire and I can’t
wait to hear what comes next. I still remember how it felt when I got my first
Zeppelin, Stones , Floyd LP and so many other monster talents, the only reason
I can remember , and I am being completely sincere in saying this , is that
after listening to this entire track , for the first time in decades I felt it
again I want to have all my friends over and crank this cool new album buy this
new band Greta Van Fleet in its unstoppable infancy and we will all play air
guitar and get buzzed laugh and not give a fuck about anything because the
music is doing the talking and pulled us all out of our heads to let us live in
the moment, that's some serious spiritual currency . Peace Everybody,,,,,, Darren.
Anyone notice how when they started talking about flower power, that song came on???
You should interview these fellas again! I’d love to hear more from them
Need more bands like these guys
Brandon Mattiace Rival Sons....Kaleo
yes there is that band is led zepplin
@Psychedelic BluesMan same bro
@Psychedelic BluesMan I'll definitely watch it bro
These guys are bringing back what’s been missing in rock and roll for too many years. If you don’t like them, shut up and don’t listen, but I’m staying tuned in. Rock on Greta Van Fleet!
Great band love em ROCK on boys
He doesn’t have all plants mannerisms. Plant continuously stood with his legs crossed in front of the mic as he sang. It was his trademark all the way to 2007 and the last show. He never stopped
Gonna see these guys live in Columbus! So hyped!
Cool- have fun!
Rotr? I saw them in Columbus for Rotr, LOVED IT!
Big Greta fan. Black smoke rising is my favorite. Flower Power totally captures the 70's rock sound. Can't wait for their first full album.
Yes, the title track Black Smoke Rising is one of our faves too!
Ladies and Gentlemen, we are witnessing Rock and Roll history in the making, mark my words.
So funny to watch Jake nudge Josh with his knee at about 1:40!! 😂
Just wait till Ozzy hears about this and how he tore into Kingdomcome. Remember kids???
I feel like it's hard to take these guys seriously in their answers. They have so much sarcasm. Absolutely love the band. Another great musical group from my home state of Michigan
Thank you Rome!!
These interviewers couldn't get names/instruments right.. don't really let them talk much either. Come on man!
Haha- we're not 'Pros'...effing it up is part of our charm!
Being a 50+ dude and favorite band ever being "That Band" whose name i shall not mention, i have to say i love these guys. The music brings back the memories of some classics and freeking evolves into something fresh and so damn welcome! Awesome music!
Ok I have no problem with you sounding like them but AT LEAST GIVE ZEPPELIN THE CREDIT
Andy you started with the Golf Tourney reference..... the Drummer (Daniel) is a pretty solid Golfer. State Championship Tourney level. He had to skip the State Championships in his Senior Year because they had a showcase gig in Sweden. His Dad is the HS Golf Coach.
Their one of very few genuine rock bands who just so happen to have a singer who sounds like Robert Plant. Not unheard of for some singers to sound similar. Enjoy the music and shut up.
Always intriguing how people find it necessary to say they don't like something. If you don't like it then don't listen. Why spend your time and energy? You could spend that same time commenting on something you like and supporting it.
the singer looks and reminds me of a young Roger Daltrey
Ya think, Shawna?
shawna jesse reminds me of mike reno from loverboy lol at least in looks but dam he can sing like a mutha !! Awesome band
Haha, never saw that comparison!
*Robert Plant
Dont give him any ideas. Next they will release an album that sounds exactly like Tommy
In a Robert Plant interview he was really bragging about GVF.. High praise indeed✌️
Also, totally jealous of all the people who get to see them in concert!
No doubt!
Angela Sluder
I see the at the 9:30 club in DC in a few weeks! I'll drink one for you haha
It was amazing.
Angela Sluder saw em last night! They’re badass! Such powerful stage presence & the sound is exactly if not better than their recordings.
Same
Need more throwback bands like this! As far as them using Zepplin as a model or a template of course they did, doubt it was a plan from the start though. I think more it seems more likely that they tend to fall toward the rock n roll and folk n blues grooves from a lot of bands and it just so happens to materialize in an earls court kinda way!
Mitten Made. Something in the waters here. It's only UP from here now.
Thanks for watching!
I like the Led Zeppelin comparison I think that it's very good for the world nowadays to have some sober people be rock and rollers!
They don’t sound like Zeppelin anyway they sound like a blues based classic rock outfit. Now I like rock so I welcome Greta van Fleet’s contribution.
Alan Blight don’t forget the “roll”! ;)
So happy rock is coming back!! I was a teenager in the 70s and miss the music from that decade. GVF writes amazing songs. Josh's voice is amazing and totally his own. Comparisons to Zep, yeah I get it but GVF really have their own sound. I went to a Foo Fighter concert and the opening band is great too. The Struts, check out the song Kiss This. GVF thank you for being such an amazing band, this hippie is very happy.😊😊
I know these guys sound like Zeppelin, however, i dont think its intentional....i think the singer just moves and sings what he feels...these guys are just awesome!!!
Delimama the band has said and especially the guitarist in multiple interviews they studied all things zeppelin.
The guitarist has said multiple times he intentionally tried to emulate Paige's sound.
So it's just coincidence that they sound like the band they tried to sound like?
Oooooo k.
Oh horseshit they didn't accidentally sound like a carbon copy of zeppelin
Phil Lop yup. How can someone look at their singer on stage and see that he wears lowrider bell bottoms, with a large belt and buckle, shirtless with a leather vest and a beaded necklace. While literally poorly copying all of Robert Plant's stage mannerisms and say its coincidence?
Charles Fleury II Wow. There always has to be that one sexist dude, and I guess that gets to be you this time.
Kelsie LeCrone individually she knows fuck all about music.
I remember Kingdom Come getting panned for the Led Zep resemblance. Glad these guys are getting acceptance, love Kingdom Come and Greta Van Fleet. Keeping rockin' boys!
So many great songs and they're total babes! I'm sold, take my $$$
Haha~ nice!
They same angle was labeled on The TeaParty back in the day. "Oh he sounds like Jim Morrison".
Its so genuine with Greta and frankly I hear AC/DC vocals and Rush Geddy Lee in there too. Let these young guys shine...and as the commentator said they will bridge the generation and probably cause a boom in Classic Rock and the likes of our beloved Led Zeppelin. The originals are all retiring...peace on
