    going back and watching this again after watching their most recent rig rundown, and it's so amazing to listen to sam talk about his keys and his pedal board and how he admires people who play with a full pedal board and he said "maybe someday ill get there" and he's there now. it all came full circle.

      Yes, you can see how john, he really is the real deal! A very good interview! I grew up in the 80's, and attended a lot of great concerts. For me, it sure is nice to see a young talented band out of Michigan, USA, with a great story they have to tell,
      Forming as 3 brothers, 2 of which are twins, along w/ a friend from school , drumming. etc. very well spoken....and nice!
      I grew up in the 80's, and attended a lot of great concerts. It's been a very long time since I've been this excited about a new band. Like them or hate them, I'll leave that up to you

On top of that I broke my high E and spent the rest of the night improvising on 5 strings. Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. Guitar struggles are real

If you were to eliminate all the music that was derivative you'd wind up eliminating entire genres of music including rock n' roll. Who cares who they sound like. As long as they're writing original material as well as introducing an entirely new generation of fans to live instrumentation, that's all that matters...

    SO happy to see a YOUNG band who are "actual musicians"
    No autotune crap. No label boy band creation. A group that actually grew up on REAL music and created a style that comes full circle with true rock and roll.
    Anyone who says these kids are just a Zep rip off are just as far off as those who think today's pop musicians are actually musicians.
    I grew up in Mi. and played in the rock circuit in the early 90's.
    I'm proud to say these guys are from Mi. and are intelligent, articulate, TRUE musicians!!
    Thank you GVF for restoring rock to music actually PLAYED AND WRITTEN BY TRUE MUSICIANS!
    Looking forward to seeing you live and MANY years of evolving true rock music.
    THANK YOU!!!

    Hey, lay off on the criticism. They're kids (gosh, they're like in their late teens, early 20s) and they're REALLY good at what they do! Give them time and proper support and they'll come up with something awesome. Did Rush sound original in the beginning? And Zep? Besides, original doesn't automatically mean better. They're a GREAT rock band, and they sound genuine, which is what matters in the end.

      Rush evolved past the Led Zeppelin influence. As did Aerosmith and others. But listen to "Working Man" off of "Rush" (1974). Pretty dang Zeppy. Relative to Greta (which verges on outright mimicry) it's not as egregious.

      Yes they sound like Zeppelin, but they also ROCK! SRV sounded like Hendrix at times, but that doesn’t mean he wasn’t a true talent in his own right. And let’s not forget the dozens of bands that made whole careers our of knocking off the Beatles. They play instruments (some of them play several), they write their own stuff, and they rock. In today’s industrialized music factory I find them to be a breath of fresh air.

You should be happy and proud if they sound like them because it is unusual to hear a band like them these days and when I first bought an EP from them which included the classic “Highway Tune” and the great “Black Smoke Rising” I was shook! Jake is a monster at playing the guitar and he has an incredible future, more amazing than the one he is experiencing, ahead. They are all insanely talented and they will surprise you people, and they will soon be along the greats. You just wait. But for now, just enjoy the music. Stop criticizing for once.
