@@buroosh6841 I think you missed everything after he said 'Led Zeppelin 1', where he basically said his voice is a copy of Plant's, and that the band is a copy of Led Zeppelin (not Aerosmith as they claim)...
I don't think so, he's basically saying here you're not that original. Which you can take it both ways...he's bashing the kids cause their singer is a little corky....very very very rare of Robert, or by bashing them he knows there's gonnaa be publicity for a real band (not a reality tv act) he finally likes and see himself as a youngster. I think mister plant is too smart of guy....I take both
@@nachomagallanico You really don't get it then. Good God please don't tell me you're that stupid. Sarcasm dude, look up the definition and then watch Roberts face as he says this. He's fucking joking you twit.
That part actually struck me as really odd. It seemed like he thought it was ridiculousness that they said their main influence was Aerosmith when they sound like a Led Zeppelin cover band (rolling the eyes meaning they absolutely HAD to be influenced by Zeppelin), but then couldn't figure out exactly the right thing to do to express he thought that was bullshit. The rolling of the eyes alone would have made sense, but then he added the snoring which sends the message that Aerosmith wasn't a band worthy of influencing anyone which I doubt is what he actually intended to convey.
@Squirmin Herman the one eyed German Why TF would that be?! Aerosmith in their own right and way is just as legendary as any band ever. Is Led Zeppelin, especially all original members, still touring?
@Squirmin Herman the one eyed German Aerosmith and Zeppelin are both great bands, and I'm guessing you're young since you refer to Aerosmith as "pop", and are probably thinking of the '90's crap they put out. Rocks and Toys in the Attic will stand up against any Zeppelin album. While I don't consider this important, but since you brought it up, Zeppelin had ONE top 10 hit, as opposed to Aerosmith's EIGHT. And let's not forget Coda and In through the Out Door, both of which were awful. All that aside, it's not a competition, so stop acting like a teenage fanboy.
Hahaha He problably loves them but Sir Plant I admire you and respect but vocals aren't exclusive of only one person in rock scene there's a lot singers who sound similar That fella from Greta was born with that voice he's not mimic anything
My friend used to live down the street from Robert Plant in Austin when he briefly lived here. He distinctly remembered him running down the street in his underwear with his trash can chasing the garbage man because he forgot to put it out early enough. Down to earth guy!
You must not understand sarcasm very well, when he said "I hate him", he was jokingly saying he wishes he could be young again. He gave them his blessing to perform all of Zeppelins material, I think that is as much approval as you can get.
I’ve met Robert Plant and he was an absolute gentleman. People need to understand his humour here, he’s paying Greta Van Fleet a big compliment. Although I don’t think he likes Aerosmith 😂
He’s being cheeky about Aerosmith too. Led Zeppelin picked no other band than Aerosmith to give the speech when LZ were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame 😊
Jonesy, too. They actually should. Those kids would wet themselves. Note, tho: I think it's pretty punk that they don't mention LZ in their influences. You've gotta have that much spunk to meet your gods.
They actually mentioned them in the past but I think they're either too tired of being compared or made it a running gag to leave LZ out. Also, they mainly grew up on the same music as LZ anyway, so why not sound similar in some regards? They still have some very original things to them, no matter what people say.
Page and Plant, if you're reading this please do rock n roll the biggest favour in the world and show up with these guys. PLEASE. This is not me saying but everyone. Led Zeppelin is an absolute treasure and these guys just maybe the future.
@@judsonkolk well yes, brits tend to be very sarcastic. I think we just assume that sarcasm is completely widespread as a form of humor across all countries, but it's not so. in any case, yeah, learn sarcasm...
He plainly says "he borrowed his voice from someone I know very well but, what are you going to do about it" he's saying he's obviously trying to imitate me. When he says "he claims he is modeling their sound after Aerosmith " then rolls his eyes and feigns snoring you know he is calling them out on not being honest about who they are directly modeling their sound after. He is saying the band has talent but he is also saying they are imitating us "but what are you going to do?" Talent with zero originality.
Love led zeppelin but Robert is notoriously difficult to work with and abusive to other musicians he makes music with. Research. Any one can come off cool humble and down to earth in an interview except maybe the Gallagher bros.
The world was forever blessed and generations to come when "Led Zeppelin", was created. I was blessed to see Robert Plant live twice. 1987 was incredible! Those who saw him live are a generation that will be envied by future generations. True classy represention of timeless music. That set the bar so high.
I finally saw Robert and the Sensational Space Shifters in 2018. I can die happy any day after that. What a gracious, wise and humble giant of the musical landscape we live in today! Mr. Plant is such a hero of mine.
I think 87 or 88 was first time I saw him manic nirvana tour at the meadowlands. With page at the garden unledded in 96 , at Jones beach with page in 98 probably best show I’ve ever seen… straight up zeppelin, no unledded. & just saw him over the summer with Allison krauss at some place in flushing. Page at the colosseum was probably better than either of the solo plant shows tho.
The zep is my favorite band, since I’ve been loving you is my absolute favorite song of all time, and I’ll never see them, you saw them 4 years before I was born, you’re right, I’m thoroughly jealous of you.
@@benliftin4awhile the next time you have a road trip in the summer with good weather, drive at night and play the Led Zeppelin live albums, your imagination will make you feel like you're at the show. I did that driving 19 hours to Cheyenne Wyoming, drove all night until sunrise, one of the best solo road trips I ever did and it was to help a friend in dire situation.
In interviews, Greta Van Fleet never mention Page or Plant when asked who their musical influences are. I don't know if it's a running joke with them, or if they actually think the world is that stupid?
It reminds me of a STNG scene in which Captain Picard says he's really not much of an actor. It's such delicious irony because Patrick Stewart is such a highly regard veteran of Shakespeare in the round. He is a fabulous actor in general, too, and was so nonplussed when he spoke the line. I laughed so hard and the moment came back to me over and over for several days. It still does sometimes. So brilliant.
Some people don't understand sarcasm below, he said he hated him because he would love to be young and do that again. Robert hasn't sounded like that since the mid 70's and the singer of GVF should take that lesson to heart, don't over use it. Yes the Aerosmith thing was a joke too...*sigh*
The honest opinion is even in the video, definitely a lot of sarcasm probably out of envy cause he'd love to tour and rock like a 20 year old again. But the comment of "beautiful little singer" was very sincere.
Just watched Robert Plant perform for the first time in my life July 2 2023 in Lennox Massachusetts. He hasn’t lost anything vocally, amazing vocals that brought back memories of the 60’s. Still got it!!!
As a U.S. based super fan of Led Zeppelin...who far and away is the best band all time. GVF is a breath of fresh air...who give fitting homage to the best era of Rock. I Love them!
The singer remind me Axl Rose. And the band follows the same destiny of GNR imho. They will be hot for a couple of albums, maybe less, and then stop. End of music. Rock is fall asleep since Nirvana's End. In the Metal way i think that the Big 4 are the last truly best metal bands after Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. imho.
Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was a kid. I cannot stand Greta van fleet. No originality (obviously) but also their songs suck, their lyrics suck, the little singer is corny as hell, the musicianship is extremely lacking. I don’t really understand who listens to this band. Teenagers who want to cosplay as hippies from the 70s? I really don’t get it.

@@matias3550 - It's possible he might have changed his mind, as I came across an interview of his, which I remember distinctly, where he said he thought Led Zeppelin were sexist and macho and he didn't like them. It's amazing how we expect celebrities to have opinions which are absolute and unmoving, whereas they evolve and change their minds about things just like anyone else.
Listen to the 1st 4 seconds and the Interviewer asks Robert is there any band out there you LIKE. Plant then immediately says there is a band from Detroit named Greta Van Fleet. That is why people are saying Plant likes them. So where do you see him saying he doesn't like them. From his sarcastic remark of hating the singer because he's young.
My sis and I will be rocking with these kiddos next Friday in Jacksonville Fla. I got us tickets for her birthday, gonna be the best girls night out ever! Can't wait!
David Nadler actually asshole, they were having a good conversation, and in the full interview plant and him had great chemistry. He's a wonderful interviewer, just making conversation with plant
I grew up on The Stones, The Who, and Zeppelin, and I think this band is the real deal. Whether they can sustain it is another story. Their greatest asset, being brothers, is also their biggest liability, plus the million other pitfalls that can derail a young band. But who cares. Right now they're great, and it's fun to watch them explode. I'm going to see them in Boston in July, and can't wait.
They aren't the teenage television stars of yesteryear. They're in the clear. This band is going to be around for many years to come. They individually seem to possess wherewithal and will more than likely not get "caught up" in the "stardom" that tends to happen...
We seen with Oasis with how brothers in a band can be...they got talent and sound great. I'm hoping they can churn something out more original, but even then, what they have now is better than a lot that's out there
I saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page perform in Knoxville Tennessee about 25 years ago. 6th row center, one of the best concert of my life. I saw Greta Van Fleet perform two months ago in Nashville. They are their own band. His voice is remarkable and they put on a great show.
I'm a big Led Zep fan but I'm also a much bigger fan of Old School Rock and Roll. So when I heard GVF for the first time, it sparked a big hope for Rock and Roll to be alive again. Who cares if they sound alot like Led Zeppelin? I'll just think "hey, Led Zep's making a comeback again..but theyre more younger!". Just like Marc Martel, he was like Freddie Mercury resurrected and making some good music.
Darren Pinto Yup. Covers and his own original songs too. Check out his Imposter Album (not sure of the title). Its like these artists continued someone's work and extended a legacy.
I just discovered GVF a few weeks ago and im happy that kids are idolizing correct musical greats. I'd rather listen to some classic songs repackaged with new folks rather than listen to the garbage thats being put out daily.
Darren Pinto I agree, man. I totally agree with you. It totally warmed my heart (weird) then had goosebumps when their lead singer wailed like an echo from the past on their song "Highway Tune".
We can ask for you to pay the f attention to an interview and not see it through rose colored glasses. Plant is OBVIOUSLY snubbing them for ripping him off. There is no gray area here- it is clear as day.
@@snapperface12345 You are pretty dense. Plant's comment was just to say he wishes he was young again to sing like he used to but ultimately he does not like the singer for ripping him off AND NOT admitting to the source of his inspiration.
@@squatch570 he didn't rip lynard skynard off or robert plant... you're a fking moron. I was around during LS time... two totally differant bands nubcakes! You can hate all you want, in the end they're both super great bands. I'm gonna chalk this up as you, like sam g are angry fkfaces who thinks LS/plant are gods. Gtfo of here scrubs!
REALLY?! I actually had no idea. Well in that case it's a little stupid to be all bothered by them having transparent Led Zepplin influences when one of the other greatest bands in rock history started out as a cover band. And I know they aren't one, but their being treated like one, which isn't cool. I haven't heard them sing one Led Zepplin song yet ( which is actually criminal because they'd kill it)
@@dylancole1910 majority of bands in every genre starts out as a cover band or a tribute band or anything like that 99.9% of the time and then you develop your own style off of things you like I don't understand all the hate I genuinely don't besides being mad that somebody is having fun and succeeding
@@Andrea-de8ix Some bands start out as cover bands but not a majority and certainly not anywhere near 99%. I've played in bands my entire life, I'd know it if most bands were starting out that way, they don't.
Led Zep laying down this path for GVF to continue down is so cool. GVF have many similarities and lyrically write like Led Zep but they are their own beast and amazingly talented band. I'm glad I live in a time when I get to experience both! BTW I get Getty Lee vibes from Josh's voice, too!
@@saturnlights5239 Very true. There's a video on TH-cam that reveals around ten songs that Zeppelin ripped off and called their own. They've been sued quite a few times and have settled out of court, presumably to limit the damage to their reputation.
@@williamdawson4023 Plant literally just said on video that they stole their sound..."and he borrowed it from someone I know very well." That's a jab. Because they're unoriginal little stealing twats. At least when zeppelin played other people's songs it was an obvious cover and they put their own unique style on it that no one else sounded like at the time. Greta van feet just copies straight up and has no unique style.
I can listen to both Led Zeppelin and Greta van fleet all day. At first I didn't like Greta, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin thanks to my dad. Then I listened to all their albums. Now I cannot stop listening to them. My dad enjoys them as well. Music is music. Ill definitely let my kid(s) listen to both Greta and Led Zeppelin. My dad generation and my own.
@@shadow0444 you gotta stop man. They are kids. I seen them live as well at SUMMERFEST. I had a blast. His sound in his voice is no joke. Relax guy. Zeppelin is my go to anyway
3 years late to the party on this one....that said, I grew up on Led Zeppelin, I really like Led Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet does sound (intentionally or not) a lot like Led Zeppelin, the last Led Zeppelin album was released in 1979, thanks to GVF I get to hear new LZ sounds. GVF could rename themselves "Gold Zeppelin" and I'd still listen. I like the sound, I like the music, and I don't care who's name is on it.
Right there with you, discovered this band Friday, September 2021 and I've been jamming unapologetically all weekend 😄 Also, yes I agree. I wouldn't give a fuck if they decided to rename their band either OR if they straight up covered a Zepplin album. I feel like I'm among the few that can actually tell them apart from Zepplin and claim that they DO in fact have their own unique sound despite their clearly obvious influences. People should be happy that this is even coming out today. I mean, think about it, kids today are going to hear these guys, love them, then learn about who inspired them and go listen to THEM. Pretty soon, we'll have a new generation of children listening to Led Zepplin, Guns and Roses, and all the other classics and it will come full circle. Either way, this band saved classic rock from dying out. These guys are no older than me, and they've don't that in just over 3 years.... it's just.. it's mind blowing.
Plant needs to be a comedian or have his own stand up TV comedy show. His long lasting sarcasm is hilarious especially when he jokingly says, "I hate him!" and "He's borrowed it from somebody he knows."
Martin Anthonyo………….you may not like the Beatles and that's cool, each to their own but to call them overrated is so blindly ignorant of music and the history of music it's ridiculous. Beatles set the bar PERIOD, to the day their influence is still felt as it has been by every generation since their inception.
Hopefully Robert is flattered by the imitation, these boys were inspired by real rock legends, so they say, and Josh has the pipes for real, and Jacob has crazy guitar skills... they are truly a great rock band at their age.
He's almost certainly flattered. At the very least, he's pleased some hardy souls are carrying forward the greatest legacy in modern music. He's being coy and clever and playing with interviewer the way Monet played with light, and doing it all in a very short span. That's an absolutely fabulous interview that not only displays some of Plant's tertiary talents but also gives a lot of recognition to a deserving band. He doesn't seem ready to pass the torch just yet, but he is definitely shining some light.
@@user-kn6bg3ds7f ¿Mande? I searched for a translation, but couldn't find one. That looks Cyrillic to me. but I could be wrong. I can sometimes piece together Latin-based languages besides the two I speak I and know sukoshi Romanji, but I'm lost. Sorry.
Saw Greta live in 2018 or so. Had no idea who they were just went on a wim because the name of the band interested me. If you closed your eyes, you could swear it was Robert Plant singing. They sound just like their studio records. 10/10 probably the best sounding live band I’ve ever heard.
I was just listening to Greta Van Fleet thinking that it's almost as if Josh is channeling the voice of Robert Plant. And, then, I come across this... Those kids are wonderful!!!
Chad Reynolds I don’t know why this doesn’t bother some people, they make all the excuses they can find to justify liking them, in reality this is just a band that stole the precise sound of a famous band and people act outraged when you call it out, it’s not creative.
No one can just conjure Robert Plant's voice. Josh is a monster. And I think... with a voice similar to Robert's (I'm a HUGE Zeppelin fan), perhaps you can't help but sing like THAT. Josh and the band deserve their own kudos man! They've been doing their thing since they were tweens! Also, they're very non-affected. Unlike Robert and the LZ crew. Lastly. I think Josh said he was inspired by AC/DC, not Aerosmith.
They’re just corny as hell. Plus who listens to this band when you can listen to Led Zeppelin? Is their appeal just hearing something zeppelin-esque but with a different (and much shittier) tune? Like what is the purpose of this band lmao. Because originality sure ain’t it
Some people criticize GVF for copying LZ too much. But they're not a cover band, a parody, or infringing copyrights. I'm just glad I can hear the LZ sound again without listening to a song I've heard over and over again my whole life.
Anyone who has listened to “Heat Above”, “Broken Bells” or “Age of Machine” and still call them a Zep cover band, need to leave the 60s and get a new set of ears.
I agree, they sound like NOTHING compared to Zep... NOTHING. What's even MORE IRONIC, I've NEVER heard these clowns on the Radio EVER, I live in the L.A. area.
I'm surprised they HAVEN'T covered any Zepplin songs yet. Imagine how much fun it would be to see them play Immigrant song, after hearing Highway Tune KNOW this guy can do it.😄
I know Robert Plant at 20 had the best rock voice I ever heard. He kind of shredded it a little later with the coke and then surgery but go watch 1969 Zeppelin. Holy crap.
Great band memories of the 70's rock and roll what an honor to have to have plant comment on them keep going gvf don't worry about the haters you are very talented musicians have fun with your music you have your own style
yeah they 100% sound like Led Zeppelin, everyone knows it, but I don't see it as a bad thing. I'm happy to know that these kids will provide high quality live shows and content for their audience in the near future, keeping good music alive. I think Robert should feel proud and flattered that newer generations are continuing the legacy he left.
the whole point is that it doesn't sound like something new - it's pure copying and imitation... they copy literally pieces of Led zeppelin meat and build a chimera with a Latin accent out of it... yes, the vocalist cannot get rid of the accent... and his voice will not be able to reach Robert's voice even with the help of modern computer processing))) they're just copying incompetents - I can't create anything myself. just a fact.
@@TrueNicomus They sound original. Yeah flower power sounds like ramble on. Is that bad? No. Does it have the same lyrics, chords or tempo as ramble on? No. I thought we were waiting 50 years for a band to finally sound like Led Zeppelin - the gold standard of rock, and here we are complaining they copied or “ripped it off” 🤡
Robert Plant saying "I Hate Him" really translates to I remember what it was like to be young and touring and having fun he probably sees a lot of himself and it gives him fond memories. He has nothing but respect for them and you can tell he loves them . Ill get to see them live next month and as someone who wasnt born when Led Zeppelin were at their peak its the closest thing I will get Greta Van Fleet are brilliant and a rarity in modern music. I wish them every success as im sure Robert Plant does.
@@TobleroneCraft no worries Taylor! Wasn’t really directed at you haha. Just noticed comments about Aerosmith and was just pointing out probably what you meant! 😂
All 1st-time bands start by doing covers. Even the Beatles. Greta is unique in that they became famous in an early phase, just stepping out of that stage. 5 years ahead, they're already different. A lesson for the Next big Thing that sounds like.
I really don't think that they're "copying Led Zeppelin". Their singer has a similar voice to Plant, but when you really put your ear to it it is a different sound. Sure, when he sings "oooooohhh mama" that definitely has a plant vibe to it. However, I think that that's the only reason that people say they're copying Zeppelin. I mean, how much more "new and creative" can a band that is heavily influenced by 60's and 70's blues rock bands get? A singer with some mean pipes, a guitarist playing a PAF gibson, a powerful drummer, and a talented bass player makes for a badass sounding rock band! I don't think they really need to do anything "new" or "different" because it's a sound that everyone knows and loves, and I think it's awesome to see a new band emerge doing this again, because there haven't been many new bands of this style emerge in a while.
@@budgiecat2885 Eddie was influenced while Zeppelin were still releasing albums and filling stadiums. GVF have had almost 3 decades of music spiraling downhill since Led Zeppelin stopped. Maybe that's what influenced them.
The drummer intentionally copies Bonhams drumkit though, and that Oh Mama doesnt just give Plant vibes, it was Roberts goddamn signature gimmick for years. On top of that the comparison between The Rover and Highway Tune should be obvious now dude. They're not inspired, they're copying a successful band and I dont know why they're getting a pass.
Give them time, they’ll grow into their own sound while still using that old rock sound. Look at Jake Bugg, a few years ago when he first came out everyone thought he was just a Bob Dylan copy, but now he has plenty of original sounding tunes.
Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite, no contest. And I LOVE Greta Van Fleet. When I saw them on SNL, my mouth fell open and I got chills. I hope they don't let the music industry ruin them. Go, boys!
Well if you watched their q&a from a year ago or so, they've been doing a little rock and rolling, so to speak. Hopefully they can keep up with it, and not end up like Bonham or Page
I think that Greta Van Fleet will come to prove that the Led Zeppelin comparison is more a compliment to Led Zeppelin and I was a big Led Zeppelin fan. That's musical evolution.
He respects a good voice when he hears it. Ihate em is just ajoke nothing more he said it with a smile. I think "Since i been loving you " by LZ is Robert in his absolute prime.
@@TritonGamezYT They are just a crappy band with lots of publicity, instead of trying to diss others you should get some albums from every era, every great band or artist had some original voice except GVF, they are so bad that they need to rip off a whole album.
I think GVF do a really top job... I can hear where they sound like Zeps but I can hear their own sound and style too... and I think they shine. If the bands I was in sounded that good when I was their age I'd be very pleased.

like_totally_pending_approval people listen to mumble rap now. They’d be huge in the 70s
i love when he says "I hate him" and then sheepishly grins a nod of approval
this is not approval
You must not understand sarcasm very well, when he said "I hate him", he was jokingly saying he wishes he could be young again. He gave them his blessing to perform all of Zeppelins material, I think that is as much approval as you can get.
I'm pretty sure he thinks he's a lil copy cat
He really gave them permission to do it? Thats so awesome.
All you need to be is over 50 to know that look, it was all about lost youth for sure.
"I hate him!" - Translation: "Damnit, kid. Stop reminding me of my youth!" = Seal of Approval
M.R. Cull nah
In the days of his youth, Robert was told what it means to be a man!
No, he's aware they're just a rip off band. Sound good? Yes. Talented? Sort of. Original? Umh... I rest my case.
Shitty mental gymnastics to turn something around.
@@LetiMS You can see it in Plant's face as soon as he said it that he was just joking. He doesn't hate them
I’ve met Robert Plant and he was an absolute gentleman. People need to understand his humour here, he’s paying Greta Van Fleet a big compliment. Although I don’t think he likes Aerosmith 😂
He’s being cheeky about Aerosmith too. Led Zeppelin picked no other band than Aerosmith to give the speech when LZ were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of fame 😊
Wish the interviewer didn’t cut him off, he was gonna say a lot of good stuff.
exactly
That's how they create turmoil in the music industry. Sadly they cut them off to bring it across in a article as they hate them
Miral I totally agree. We the fans are used to hearing these rock legends sing. It's nice to hear them speak and share their opinions.
Exactly.
The interviewer SUCKS !
The interviewer doesnt like either band
I wish the interviewer would let Plant concludes his sentences without interrupt him after every 2 or 3 words.
thats what the project does
GOD it was enfuriating
Like I wanted to listen to him talk instead of plant
Yeah, that would’ve been nice.
That seems to be the trend now days.
They went to the Howard Stern school of interviewing!
Plant and Page should make a surprise appearance at a Greta Van Fleet concert.
Jonesy, too. They actually should. Those kids would wet themselves. Note, tho: I think it's pretty punk that they don't mention LZ in their influences. You've gotta have that much spunk to meet your gods.
They actually mentioned them in the past but I think they're either too tired of being compared or made it a running gag to leave LZ out. Also, they mainly grew up on the same music as LZ anyway, so why not sound similar in some regards? They still have some very original things to them, no matter what people say.
Page and Plant, if you're reading this please do rock n roll the biggest favour in the world and show up with these guys. PLEASE. This is not me saying but everyone. Led Zeppelin is an absolute treasure and these guys just maybe the future.
no thanks, too much hype for a crappy band
Bah gawd thats led zeppelins music! (Jim ross voice)
Lol😂🤣”I hate em” hilarious Probably the best compliment in the history of compliments damn
some of y’all don’t understand british humor and it shows
When you say british humor you're referring to the very normal sarcasm displayed in this video right? Cause that's what that is. Regular sarcasm.
@@judsonkolk well yes, brits tend to be very sarcastic. I think we just assume that sarcasm is completely widespread as a form of humor across all countries, but it's not so. in any case, yeah, learn sarcasm...
Philip Schlaepfer facts😂
He plainly says "he borrowed his voice from someone I know very well but, what are you going to do about it" he's saying he's obviously trying to imitate me.
When he says "he claims he is modeling their sound after Aerosmith " then rolls his eyes and feigns snoring you know he is calling them out on not being honest about who they are directly modeling their sound after.
He is saying the band has talent but he is also saying they are imitating us "but what are you going to do?"
Talent with zero originality.
masterpiece Lacquers meh whatever
"i hate him" = "i love him, and i wish i were that young again"
Robert Plant and nostalgia don't go hand in hand.
he was basically ironic, you can intend.
Yep. A lot of people don't understand British Humor. You apparently do.
Ha Ha Ha!!!
thanks for explaining it for all the Americans.
Plant is so down to earth and cool. The greatness never went to his head.
RP,,,, The greatness is itself
Love led zeppelin but Robert is notoriously difficult to work with and abusive to other musicians he makes music with. Research. Any one can come off cool humble and down to earth in an interview except maybe the Gallagher bros.
Man, seriously? Back in the glory days, the guy used to be driven around on top of a car literally shoutin "I am a golden god"
@@antoniogremmis That was only when he was doing shrooms. 🤣
shrooms in the off-days :DD@@user-mz6pi8vc4g
The world was forever blessed and generations to come when "Led Zeppelin", was created. I was blessed to see Robert Plant live twice. 1987 was incredible! Those who saw him live are a generation that will be envied by future generations. True classy represention of timeless music. That set the bar so high.
Well put Kevin. Zep is the best rock band ever put together. I don't believe there will ever be a combination of musicians like them.
I finally saw Robert and the Sensational Space Shifters in 2018. I can die happy any day after that. What a gracious, wise and humble giant of the musical landscape we live in today! Mr. Plant is such a hero of mine.
I think 87 or 88 was first time I saw him manic nirvana tour at the meadowlands. With page at the garden unledded in 96 , at Jones beach with page in 98 probably best show I’ve ever seen… straight up zeppelin, no unledded. & just saw him over the summer with Allison krauss at some place in flushing.
Page at the colosseum was probably better than either of the solo plant shows tho.
The zep is my favorite band, since I’ve been loving you is my absolute favorite song of all time, and I’ll never see them, you saw them 4 years before I was born, you’re right, I’m thoroughly jealous of you.
@@benliftin4awhile the next time you have a road trip in the summer with good weather, drive at night and play the Led Zeppelin live albums, your imagination will make you feel like you're at the show. I did that driving 19 hours to Cheyenne Wyoming, drove all night until sunrise, one of the best solo road trips I ever did and it was to help a friend in dire situation.
In interviews, Greta Van Fleet never mention Page or Plant when asked who their musical influences are. I don't know if it's a running joke with them, or if they actually think the world is that stupid?
Hey, it's got people talking! I'd go with #1 :)
Totally laughed at Aerosmith being the influence. Ha! Gotta be a running gag.
It funny because you even hear some of Page's signature licks in the guitar solos for Fleet.
atleast on their Wikipedia it says their guitarist studied jimmy page for a year and led zeppelin in general along with more bands influences them.
For the Record I think it has to do with the fact that Zeppelin never gave credit to the artists that influenced them. Karma, et al.
“I hate him” he says as he smiles in absolute delight:) I love that he loves them too
It reminds me of a STNG scene in which Captain Picard says he's really not much of an actor. It's such delicious irony because Patrick Stewart is such a highly regard veteran of Shakespeare in the round. He is a fabulous actor in general, too, and was so nonplussed when he spoke the line. I laughed so hard and the moment came back to me over and over for several days. It still does sometimes. So brilliant.
Some people don't understand sarcasm below, he said he hated him because he would love to be young and do that again. Robert hasn't sounded like that since the mid 70's and the singer of GVF should take that lesson to heart, don't over use it. Yes the Aerosmith thing was a joke too...*sigh*
Plant still had the chops in the 80s; he just made different music.
Crashbanksbuysilver duh lol thanks
The honest opinion is even in the video, definitely a lot of sarcasm probably out of envy cause he'd love to tour and rock like a 20 year old again. But the comment of "beautiful little singer" was very sincere.
Is it a joke? Or do they just not want to be seen as LZ clones?
Such an ageist statement. Robert has never said he wanted to be young again, in fact most of his influences are old blues guys. Ridiculous.
Just watched Robert Plant perform for the first time in my life July 2 2023 in Lennox Massachusetts. He hasn’t lost anything vocally, amazing vocals that brought back memories of the 60’s. Still got it!!!
Tanglewood?
They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I don't see any true dislike of Greta Van Fleet from rock legend Robert Plant.
I think its fair to say they draw from the same blues roots as Zeppelin, rather than being frank imitators.
He had to grow his voice because they couldn't hear him during repetitions and that has made the band even greater. What a guy.
As a U.S. based super fan of Led Zeppelin...who far and away is the best band all time. GVF is a breath of fresh air...who give fitting homage to the best era of Rock. I Love them!
The singer remind me Axl Rose. And the band follows the same destiny of GNR imho. They will be hot for a couple of albums, maybe less, and then stop. End of music. Rock is fall asleep since Nirvana's End. In the Metal way i think that the Big 4 are the last truly best metal bands after Iron Maiden, Judas Priest and Black Sabbath. imho.
Yes! And I assume you smash baseballs or softballs. LZ tunes floating over diamond play... a field of dreams.
well said
Led Zeppelin has been my favorite band since I was a kid. I cannot stand Greta van fleet. No originality (obviously) but also their songs suck, their lyrics suck, the little singer is corny as hell, the musicianship is extremely lacking. I don’t really understand who listens to this band. Teenagers who want to cosplay as hippies from the 70s? I really don’t get it.
It's a breath of old air except far inferior in every way. Why eat regurgitated kibble when you can have filet mignon? Just listen to Zep.
What a HUGE honor to be recognized by the great Robert Plant. Now let's get Greta Van Fleet to do a Led Zeppelin cover!!! ♥️♥️♥️

It's amazing how we expect celebrities to have opinions which are absolute and unmoving, whereas they evolve and change their minds about things just like anyone else.
Listen to the 1st 4 seconds and the Interviewer asks Robert is there any band out there you LIKE. Plant then immediately says there is a band from Detroit named Greta Van Fleet. That is why people are saying Plant likes them. So where do you see him saying he doesn't like them. From his sarcastic remark of hating the singer because he's young.
Too bad they arent from detroit. They are from Frankenmuth.
@@evulmievl lol they became well known from playing in Detroit. Do you really expect Robert Plant to know the specifics?

Let Robert Plant fucking speak. Nothing ruins an interview more than an interrupting reporter!
David Nadler yep
Yes. And Plant said "I hate them" and smiled, and the guy there did not pick up on that. I think he was going to say something good about it.
Fuck this interviewer
David Nadler actually asshole, they were having a good conversation, and in the full interview plant and him had great chemistry. He's a wonderful interviewer, just making conversation with plant
David you’re a ducking imbecile.
I would love to see Robert sing Greta's song Highway Tune
Current Robert Plant or early 70s Robert Plant?
Lostjoy IX great question
The early Robert Plant.....He'd match it note for note..
But tbh all he needs to do is loose the weight
Actually I'd prefer to hear GVF sing some of LZ stuff. Plant is awesome but like all of us hes gotten older and his voice has taken a hit.
I grew up on The Stones, The Who, and Zeppelin, and I think this band is the real deal. Whether they can sustain it is another story. Their greatest asset, being brothers, is also their biggest liability, plus the million other pitfalls that can derail a young band. But who cares. Right now they're great, and it's fun to watch them explode. I'm going to see them in Boston in July, and can't wait.
They aren't the teenage television stars of yesteryear. They're in the clear. This band is going to be around for many years to come. They individually seem to possess wherewithal and will more than likely not get "caught up" in the "stardom" that tends to happen...
We seen with Oasis with how brothers in a band can be...they got talent and sound great. I'm hoping they can churn something out more original, but even then, what they have now is better than a lot that's out there
Scott Alderman o yeah man just keep on going it's good that people like them it really is
Mud Kips I think the stuff they have is very original for 2018 they just plain fucking Rock and I can't get enough of it
Damn Scott, hit THAT nail, didn't ya??!!
I saw Robert Plant and Jimmy Page perform in Knoxville Tennessee about 25 years ago. 6th row center, one of the best concert of my life. I saw Greta Van Fleet perform two months ago in Nashville. They are their own band. His voice is remarkable and they put on a great show.
I'm a big Led Zep fan but I'm also a much bigger fan of Old School Rock and Roll. So when I heard GVF for the first time, it sparked a big hope for Rock and Roll to be alive again. Who cares if they sound alot like Led Zeppelin? I'll just think "hey, Led Zep's making a comeback again..but theyre more younger!". Just like Marc Martel, he was like Freddie Mercury resurrected and making some good music.
Mark Martel sings covers, the GVF guys are in a class of their own.
Darren Pinto Yup. Covers and his own original songs too. Check out his Imposter Album (not sure of the title). Its like these artists continued someone's work and extended a legacy.
Nah. Marc's EP is called the Prelude. Although talented, his stuff is normal mainstream pop, nowhere close to what Freddie gave us.
I just discovered GVF a few weeks ago and im happy that kids are idolizing correct musical greats. I'd rather listen to some classic songs repackaged with new folks rather than listen to the garbage thats being put out daily.
Darren Pinto I agree, man. I totally agree with you. It totally warmed my heart (weird) then had goosebumps when their lead singer wailed like an echo from the past on their song "Highway Tune".
approved by Robert Plant. What else can you ask for!
We can ask for you to pay the f attention to an interview and not see it through rose colored glasses. Plant is OBVIOUSLY snubbing them for ripping him off. There is no gray area here- it is clear as day.
snapperface12345 he thinks the kid is a fucking twat. Period.
G Sam agreed
@@snapperface12345 You are pretty dense. Plant's comment was just to say he wishes he was young again to sing like he used to but ultimately he does not like the singer for ripping him off AND NOT admitting to the source of his inspiration.

The hidden punchline in this video is that Aerosmith actually started out as a Led Zepplin cover band.
th-cam.com/video/NS25MoADBCc/w-d-xo.html so did greta van fleet
REALLY?! I actually had no idea. Well in that case it's a little stupid to be all bothered by them having transparent Led Zepplin influences when one of the other greatest bands in rock history started out as a cover band. And I know they aren't one, but their being treated like one, which isn't cool. I haven't heard them sing one Led Zepplin song yet ( which is actually criminal because they'd kill it)
@@dylancole1910 majority of bands in every genre starts out as a cover band or a tribute band or anything like that 99.9% of the time and then you develop your own style off of things you like I don't understand all the hate I genuinely don't besides being mad that somebody is having fun and succeeding
@@Andrea-de8ix Some bands start out as cover bands but not a majority and certainly not anywhere near 99%. I've played in bands my entire life, I'd know it if most bands were starting out that way, they don't.
Led Zep laying down this path for GVF to continue down is so cool. GVF have many similarities and lyrically write like Led Zep but they are their own beast and amazingly talented band. I'm glad I live in a time when I get to experience both! BTW I get Getty Lee vibes from Josh's voice, too!
What most folk don't get here: Plant is giving them a positive nod. We shall see how they evolve, if they do.
No Plants just saying there stealing there sound
Les T it’s not like their band stole songs from other ppl
@@saturnlights5239 Very true. There's a video on TH-cam that reveals around ten songs that Zeppelin ripped off and called their own. They've been sued quite a few times and have settled out of court, presumably to limit the damage to their reputation.
@@MrLemmy2000 you're a idiot
@@williamdawson4023 Plant literally just said on video that they stole their sound..."and he borrowed it from someone I know very well." That's a jab. Because they're unoriginal little stealing twats. At least when zeppelin played other people's songs it was an obvious cover and they put their own unique style on it that no one else sounded like at the time. Greta van feet just copies straight up and has no unique style.
I can listen to both Led Zeppelin and Greta van fleet all day. At first I didn't like Greta, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin thanks to my dad. Then I listened to all their albums. Now I cannot stop listening to them. My dad enjoys them as well. Music is music. Ill definitely let my kid(s) listen to both Greta and Led Zeppelin. My dad generation and my own.
I am really proud of this band they are from my state and actually they are from Frankenmuth Michigan good job guys

Agreed. They're great so far, but Zep are Zep and were always far more than just a rock band.

@@shadow0444 you gotta stop man. They are kids. I seen them live as well at SUMMERFEST. I had a blast. His sound in his voice is no joke. Relax guy. Zeppelin is my go to anyway
3 years late to the party on this one....that said, I grew up on Led Zeppelin, I really like Led Zeppelin, Greta Van Fleet does sound (intentionally or not) a lot like Led Zeppelin, the last Led Zeppelin album was released in 1979, thanks to GVF I get to hear new LZ sounds. GVF could rename themselves "Gold Zeppelin" and I'd still listen. I like the sound, I like the music, and I don't care who's name is on it.
Right there with you, discovered this band Friday, September 2021 and I've been jamming unapologetically all weekend 😄
Also, yes I agree. I wouldn't give a fuck if they decided to rename their band either OR if they straight up covered a Zepplin album. I feel like I'm among the few that can actually tell them apart from Zepplin and claim that they DO in fact have their own unique sound despite their clearly obvious influences. People should be happy that this is even coming out today.
I mean, think about it, kids today are going to hear these guys, love them, then learn about who inspired them and go listen to THEM. Pretty soon, we'll have a new generation of children listening to Led Zepplin, Guns and Roses, and all the other classics and it will come full circle. Either way, this band saved classic rock from dying out. These guys are no older than me, and they've don't that in just over 3 years.... it's just.. it's mind blowing.
GVF have changed a lot over 3 years though.

He’s British baby. Robert Smith of the Cure is hilarious too. Something about the Brits.

Jesus & Mary Chain said they were going to be "bigger than The Beatles" but they were high all the time so there's that
Martin Anthonyo………….you may not like the Beatles and that's cool, each to their own but to call them overrated is so blindly ignorant of music and the history of music it's ridiculous. Beatles set the bar PERIOD, to the day their influence is still felt as it has been by every generation since their inception.
Interviewer: You think he's copying someone?
Robert: Well, of course I know him, he's -me- Aerosmith
What really matter to me os that GVF is bringing back to the stage the good classical rock that I have missed so much
Hopefully Robert is flattered by the imitation, these boys were inspired by real rock legends, so they say, and Josh has the pipes for real, and Jacob has crazy guitar skills... they are truly a great rock band at their age.
He's almost certainly flattered. At the very least, he's pleased some hardy souls are carrying forward the greatest legacy in modern music. He's being coy and clever and playing with interviewer the way Monet played with light, and doing it all in a very short span. That's an absolutely fabulous interview that not only displays some of Plant's tertiary talents but also gives a lot of recognition to a deserving band. He doesn't seem ready to pass the torch just yet, but he is definitely shining some light.

Saw Greta live in 2018 or so. Had no idea who they were just went on a wim because the name of the band interested me. If you closed your eyes, you could swear it was Robert Plant singing. They sound just like their studio records. 10/10 probably the best sounding live band I’ve ever heard.
He's cool always. Not dishing on anybody. I like Greta van fleet. There's always room for another good band. Maybe great. We'll see.
I was just listening to Greta Van Fleet thinking that it's almost as if Josh is channeling the voice of Robert Plant. And, then, I come across this... Those kids are wonderful!!!
First time I heard them I thought Zep had released a new album
Me too...
Me too. But I originally thought it was a newly found old recording of Zep
First time I heard the highway tune on the radio I thought it was a Led Zepp song that I somehow missed, I was quite puzzled.
LRN_News same for me with the Safari Song, when it was in MLB the Show 20, I was, let’s just say, DAZED AND CONFUSED
Chad Reynolds I don’t know why this doesn’t bother some people, they make all the excuses they can find to justify liking them, in reality this is just a band that stole the precise sound of a famous band and people act outraged when you call it out, it’s not creative.
No one can just conjure Robert Plant's voice. Josh is a monster. And I think... with a voice similar to Robert's (I'm a HUGE Zeppelin fan), perhaps you can't help but sing like THAT. Josh and the band deserve their own kudos man! They've been doing their thing since they were tweens! Also, they're very non-affected. Unlike Robert and the LZ crew. Lastly. I think Josh said he was inspired by AC/DC, not Aerosmith.
I feel I hear more geddy lee from rush in him band sounds like zeppelin tho
They’re just corny as hell. Plus who listens to this band when you can listen to Led Zeppelin? Is their appeal just hearing something zeppelin-esque but with a different (and much shittier) tune? Like what is the purpose of this band lmao. Because originality sure ain’t it

Raunchy guitars are back !!!! Really like this band. Music has hope for a comeback. Thnx GVF
Robert Plant just gave GVF the biggest compliment possible.
I love this band
Anyone who has listened to “Heat Above”, “Broken Bells” or “Age of Machine” and still call them a Zep cover band, need to leave the 60s and get a new set of ears.
I agree, they sound like NOTHING compared to Zep... NOTHING. What's even MORE IRONIC, I've NEVER heard these clowns on the Radio EVER, I live in the L.A. area.
I'm surprised they HAVEN'T covered any Zepplin songs yet. Imagine how much fun it would be to see them play Immigrant song, after hearing Highway Tune KNOW this guy can do it.😄
The lead singer sounds like what Robert Plant would have sounded like as a teen.
If Robert plant was American
no shit
I know Robert Plant at 20 had the best rock voice I ever heard. He kind of shredded it a little later with the coke and then surgery but go watch 1969 Zeppelin. Holy crap.
Great band memories of the 70's rock and roll what an honor to have to have plant comment on them keep going gvf don't worry about the haters you are very talented musicians have fun with your music you have your own style
yeah they 100% sound like Led Zeppelin, everyone knows it, but I don't see it as a bad thing. I'm happy to know that these kids will provide high quality live shows and content for their audience in the near future, keeping good music alive.
I think Robert should feel proud and flattered that newer generations are continuing the legacy he left.
You said it!
Thanks for backing them up
the whole point is that it doesn't sound like something new - it's pure copying and imitation... they copy literally pieces of Led zeppelin meat and build a chimera with a Latin accent out of it... yes, the vocalist cannot get rid of the accent... and his voice will not be able to reach Robert's voice even with the help of modern computer processing))) they're just copying incompetents - I can't create anything myself. just a fact.
It would be better if they were inspired by it instead of straight up imitating it. The newest record does a good job of this it seems like.
@@TrueNicomus you clearly don’t follow the band. He performs live constantly, those vocals are all real
@@TrueNicomus They sound original. Yeah flower power sounds like ramble on. Is that bad? No. Does it have the same lyrics, chords or tempo as ramble on? No. I thought we were waiting 50 years for a band to finally sound like Led Zeppelin - the gold standard of rock, and here we are complaining they copied or “ripped it off” 🤡
Robert Plant saying "I Hate Him" really translates to I remember what it was like to be young and touring and having fun he probably sees a lot of himself and it gives him fond memories. He has nothing but respect for them and you can tell he loves them . Ill get to see them live next month and as someone who wasnt born when Led Zeppelin were at their peak its the closest thing I will get Greta Van Fleet are brilliant and a rarity in modern music. I wish them every success as im sure Robert Plant does.

There is a band in Detroit that time travelled from the 70's. Those kids are awesome and they learned watching the masters.

It’s funny because Greta Van Fleet actually support Greta Thunberg
@@troutmask9111 What's funnier is that Greta Van Susteren likes Greta Van Fleet's music. (That may not be true).
Robert Plant loves this guy! Great interview.
To even be mentioned by the rock lord plant is already a huge something for them
Greta Van fleet has like three albums and everyone sounds like a Led Zeppelin Greatest Hits I've never heard before. Music to my ears👍👍
“Based on Aerosmith” the eye roll was SO appropriate 😂
It wasn’t a dig at Aerosmith. Robert plant is friends with guys in Aerosmith. It was more like sure kid , you aren’t basing it on me….
@@stepheng200 that’s how I meant it lol. It was a dig at Van Fleet for the false claim lol
@@TobleroneCraft no worries Taylor! Wasn’t really directed at you haha. Just noticed comments about Aerosmith and was just pointing out probably what you meant! 😂
All 1st-time bands start by doing covers. Even the Beatles. Greta is unique in that they became famous in an early phase, just stepping out of that stage. 5 years ahead, they're already different. A lesson for the Next big Thing that sounds like.
Imagine a rock god mentions your band name.
I’d die happy.
I really don't think that they're "copying Led Zeppelin". Their singer has a similar voice to Plant, but when you really put your ear to it it is a different sound. Sure, when he sings "oooooohhh mama" that definitely has a plant vibe to it. However, I think that that's the only reason that people say they're copying Zeppelin. I mean, how much more "new and creative" can a band that is heavily influenced by 60's and 70's blues rock bands get? A singer with some mean pipes, a guitarist playing a PAF gibson, a powerful drummer, and a talented bass player makes for a badass sounding rock band! I don't think they really need to do anything "new" or "different" because it's a sound that everyone knows and loves, and I think it's awesome to see a new band emerge doing this again, because there haven't been many new bands of this style emerge in a while.
100% agree mate
Yup!
You say that but yet Eddie Van Halen was influenced by Led Zep and look how that turned out
@@budgiecat2885 Eddie was influenced while Zeppelin were still releasing albums and filling stadiums. GVF have had almost 3 decades of music spiraling downhill since Led Zeppelin stopped. Maybe that's what influenced them.
The drummer intentionally copies Bonhams drumkit though, and that Oh Mama doesnt just give Plant vibes, it was Roberts goddamn signature gimmick for years.
On top of that the comparison between The Rover and Highway Tune should be obvious now dude. They're not inspired, they're copying a successful band and I dont know why they're getting a pass.
When Robert Plant talks about you, drop the gd mic....congrats GVF
Come on Rob, you yourself said you can't hit those notes anymore, don't hate the kid for hitting them
When Robert aproves a singer that he likes that's all said!
Him saying he hates them is British for he likes them.
I dont think sarcasm is British lol people just too dumb to understand when sarcasm is being used.
NEVER EVER as big, influential like Led Zeppelin is good that they keep the flame alive, keep it up!!
that’s probably the best compliment u can ever get
Give them time, they’ll grow into their own sound while still using that old rock sound. Look at Jake Bugg, a few years ago when he first came out everyone thought he was just a Bob Dylan copy, but now he has plenty of original sounding tunes.
gotta love the Plant-man....... he has great sense of humor :D:D
Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite, no contest. And I LOVE Greta Van Fleet. When I saw them on SNL, my mouth fell open and I got chills. I hope they don't let the music industry ruin them. Go, boys!
Exactly my same experience when I first heard them 💯
Well if you watched their q&a from a year ago or so, they've been doing a little rock and rolling, so to speak. Hopefully they can keep up with it, and not end up like Bonham or Page
They should have been called Greta Van Thunberg LOL
I'm not into cover bands.
@@goodwillcooking1801So you're not into Led Zeppelin?
I think that Greta Van Fleet will come to prove that the Led Zeppelin comparison is more a compliment to Led Zeppelin and I was a big Led Zeppelin fan. That's musical evolution.
I must say Robert Plant has aged like a fine wine.😍😍
Garking brilliant to hear such a young band hit it off so close to Led Zep ..love it!!!
If you studied the band...they despised the reference and changed gears. Doing this alienated the Led Zeppelin fans. They now sound unique

So THAT'S the full quote. The second part really changes it.
@@hendipray1016 can't we all just get along?
@@shagsmith3410 sure why not
He respects a good voice when he hears it. Ihate em is just ajoke nothing more he said it with a smile. I think "Since i been loving you " by LZ is Robert in his absolute prime.
When Robert Plan is jealous of you!
You deserve respect.
Thats mount Olympus right there.
Na just ripped him off didnt try anything new. Just copy cats.
@@Kosmo999 okay? Have you actually listened to there songs or just the big 3 or 4? They sound really good they just get a bad rep cause of his voice.
@@mingpowman76 you sound tired, you should get some rest.
@@TritonGamezYT They are just a crappy band with lots of publicity, instead of trying to diss others you should get some albums from every era, every great band or artist had some original voice except GVF, they are so bad that they need to rip off a whole album.
@@mikeanaro when did I say they're great? Not trying to "Diss" anyone.
I think GVF do a really top job... I can hear where they sound like Zeps but I can hear their own sound and style too... and I think they shine. If the bands I was in sounded that good when I was their age I'd be very pleased.
Give or take Mick and Jim, Robert Plant is the greatest frontman in rock history. What a compliment!
Jim?
The show must go on.
