  • In this episode of Led Zeppelin Fan REACTS we will be listening to Greta Van Fleet's Age of Man, the opening track from their Sophomore Album, 'Anthem of the Peaceful Army'.
    Right out of the gate we have a song intro that is the polar opposite of how their Debut Album started. This one kind of just 'seeps into the room'. Where as 'Safari Song' comes out with a Rockin' riff. I like that they went to the other end of the spectrum with this. I also enjoyed that they gave so much space to each section to develop. The overall feel of each part of the song is very... Somber. Melancholy, even. Yet not, downtrodden or morose. The chorus brings in a more uplifting chord progression.
    Which I love how that reflects the lyrics. 'In an age of darkness light appears. And it wards away the ancient fears.' The verse and chorus musically create a nice 'tension and release'. Which gives a great positive direction from the melancholy towards where I believe the rest of the album is heading.
    A nice start to their Sophomore Album. Can't wait to hear where they take this album.

    Of all the GVF songs Age Of Man may be their best live track. What am I saying, all of GVF live is absolutely amazing.

    I think that much of Josh's early singing was self taught. Over the past few years he has a voice coach Ron Browning who is a mentor to many prominent singers. You can easily see his progress in quality and ease of singing. He is building a voice that will hold up long term. I believe he is a countertenor.

    He never had vocal lessons and just recently started working with vocal coach, Ron Browning to make sure he doesn’t blow out his voice.
    Love to hear you say you love his voice when I hear others say his voice gets on their nerves and all he does is scream. Shows how little they know. I know you’ve heard it before, but Age of Man at Red Rocks is where it’s at!

    These guys are the Torch for Real Rock and Roll. Their growing adding the nuances to their music. Their lyrics have meaning although metaphorical, still very good. Their songs don't run together or do under the same unlike many 80s and 90s hair bands. Their creating. Nashville, July 24th. I'm there. Bridgestone Arena! ROCK ON GVF

    It was already a favorite but when my brother died unexpectedly in June of 21 in vehicle accident I played this over and over. Sad story I know but I feel connected to him when this plays.
    He was a good man.

    This is one of my favorites of GVF and it’s truly amazing live. Epic and thoughtful. I do believe they have natural talent but they’ve also worked incredibly hard.
    I was so happy to see that you are continuing with your GVF reactions…I found myself looking forward to them each day. Even when I don’t agree with you, I appreciate the thoughtful comments.

    One of my favorite songs of this album. In my opinion though the live sounds so much better. I hope eventually you’ll check out the 2018 Red rocks version. In fact I look forward to you checking out any of their live performances, they are all so good. 😄

    The live version is so beautiful. Robert Plant did acknowledge them when asked rather awkwardly about them being Led Zeppelin.2. And so the stupid online argument started about them 'copying' LZ. Josh's voice is natural but I am sure he has had vocal input just to ensure he doesn't cause any injury to his vocal folds, but I have been watching him and he knows instinctively how to sing in his head voice with ease. One day I must tell you about Justin Hawkins' critique of GVF and in particular, Highway Tune, which is what got everyone who wanted to hate GVF do the 'copying LZ'' blather. If you could copy LZ that would be a feat in itself. Anyone out there, try copying either one. I hope you have watched this live Mr Dunn!

    Fun Factoid: The day they released this track, they put it on a special site that used your GPS tracker. You had to be in a local park before it would play, so a lot of us first heard this song while surrounded by nature. (These guys are big on environmentalism, if you hadn't caught that already 😉)

      Yes! I did recognize that sound. I didn’t say it in my reaction. But I’m very familiar with the Melotron. John Paul Jones used one as well. Thank you for the comment!

    In the beginning he was self-taught (all the boys are), but Josh does have a vocal coach now (2023) so he uses correct techniques. That's why Josh's poses, body movements should look like other great singers, i.e., Freddie Mercury, George Michael, Aretha Franklin; they should look similar bcoz they are using healthy techniques to preserve & protect their voices
