Greta Van Fleet - Black Smoke Rising [Live In The Lounge] 

Tru' dat! That's all that matters!

Fuckin' exactly. Only criteria I ever had was "will I listen to this again?" Yes.....the answer is yes.

@@lawsonfan5797 No hate mail here! These young men give it there all, and US as fans, are totally behind them!

Not just sound like but act like, especially Josh, he mimics Robert Plants mannerisms. Still doesn't detract form their performance though.

@@jaydeeoldboy9903 doubt they'll ever have a moment again.

Agree. Being a huge Zep head, really excited to hear more. Just learned of them this week. Hadn't thought until now to compare to Ann Wilson. Spot on!

Alex Childress add a little Joplin too

Alex Childress I could not have said it better. He will be as great as them. I have full confidence that the whole band will rock the world in ways that no new band has in decades. As they continue to grow into their sound, they will build upon the classics to create something powerful that the world hasn't heard yet, just as Led Zeppelin stood on the shoulders of blues legends to create their signature hard rock sound fifty years ago. I look forward to hearing what Greta Van Fleet gives us.

With a face and smirk like Roger Daltrey's.

Alex Childress Yes!! You can definitely hear, in them, their musical influences!

Adam Clements cause it’s pure junk and they are unexcited!

Totally! One of the best bands of the century #onelove

Humanity? This is the regression of that sentiment. Just a total rip-off and clone of something that's already been done.

@@krieg183 Please fuck off, you don't enjoy art

@@krieg183 ..... Really?

Don’t mind him just another old 50 heard old fool hating newer stuff. This how your parents reacted when the heard your music

you act like there haven't been a shit ton of rock bands in the last 40 years. If you feel like there haven't been "actual" rock bands that are for more original and creative than this, then you haven't been looking hard at all.

Rock will beat pop and electronic someday I am hoping come on greta van fleet . You are the next led zeppelin !!!!

There hasn’t it’s just pop rock that’s all

Check out @roastedband on Instagram

That's Sam and yes he's gorgeous 💜

😎 Sam inspired my 50-something geezer butt to start playing again.😎

The bass player and guitar players are twins. bonus for you.

@@matthewearl9824 actually the singer and guitar player are twins. The base is their younger brotber

Check out Daniel Johns in his early days with silverchair

Jack Of Shades me too!

they only have four songs lol

Me too

Well you’ve only got one more unfortunately. Sure they’re working on more- I hope.

Yep should have 4 more songs on a new EP in a couple of weeks. Hopefully a full 2018 album that will surely be a masterpiece.

Gustavo Lima well said fella!

Thats right! Rush and Zeppelin and a lot of talent

Thats right! Rush and Zeppelin and a lot of talent

and Triumph

There's no Rush here - missing progressive elements and super-tight drumming.

Indeed, they had to keep Quiet for the recording,

The main criticism is that their sound is a bit similar to Led Zeppelin

Skeptical Spectacle : And why is that such a bad thing? At least they don’t sound like Kanye.

Because it's derivative drivel; they should strive to sound like Greta Van Fleet, rather than dressing, moving, sounding and behaving like Led Zeppelin

And how do they dress and behave like Zeppelin?

How do they dress and behave like Led Zeppelin onstage? Are you actually serious?

Pony Boy Curtis ?

Just found these guys within the past week... I had given up on new music for the most part, but I heard "Highway Tune" by these guys on my random Spotify radio station (Zeppelin or Jack White) and was in the other room... and literally thought 'What the fuck song is this and what Zeppelin album is this from?" and couldn't figure it out (obviously) and stormed back into the other room and saw the name of this band. Blew my mind. I was almost 100% certain that some unreleased tracks from Zep had just surfaced and were leaked or something... little did I know it was a band of teenagers from my state of Michigan. Very happy to hear it and it gives me hope for the future of music.

Check out Royal Blood. Really great modern band. But I agree that these guys are awesome.

Check out RavenEye also, full of energy!!

Skippy Cell I agree ! I am so proud of these guys ! No rapper wannabes THANK GOD !

Janet Bergman Raven Eye opened for The Darkness at The House of Blues New Orleans. They were Stellar ! Extremely Nice and appreciative meeting the fans too.

Tbf he almost is bc they went to school together

Amen! I listen to them as *them*, not based on their resemblance to LZ.

Because they sound like some of the older bands, that’s why I love them. That whole entire vibe is what’s missing from a lot of rock today. They’re not a revivalist band, far from it, and it shows. They just want to share good music with every one and they don’t care who it pleases and who it doesn’t! ♥️

Neh, they are trash

Cheers mate 👏

Paweł Morrison that’s because they were told to

That was funny

Yeah they are a lesbian hobbit led Zeppelin tribute band.

masterpiece Lacquers 💀💀💀💀

@Jupiter jealous of what? They are not original and they are copying another band from the ground up. I value originality and ground breaking which these guys are neither.

Far enough that many people are taking notice especially those that dismissed them before.

Jeremy Falkner also, check out "The Lemon Twigs" They also gave life to the dying rock n' roll

Jeremy Falkner not reborn more like cloned

Same here, Highway Tune caught my ear first, but I think I like this one better. Their whole album is great though.

Joy Munson 800% that awesome, I’m going to use that from now on. 👍 lol

Harding Boi theyre

Harding Boi Meaby you just found them

Because they weren’t born yet

They're

agreed!

Hahaha, that's what my husband said. We love these guys!

Check out Japandroids and Royal Blood....it never left!! But these guys are giving it a swift kick in the a$$

If you get a chance to see them play live, do it! I did and it was an amazing show!

They are really good that makes no doubt but I just listened Since I've been loving you (TSRTS version) for the 1000th time and there is no metch to led zeppelin they were gods. Even their debut live in Denmark in 1969 is incredible with insane improvisation. However they are really good and this is definitively very good rock music

P Frank yes I hear that tool!

I'm sorry, but there is no Neil Young influence here.

Wenyi108 they’ll regret when these guys become worldwide phenomenons 💯💯💯

thats the generation gap mate people nowdays dont appreciate true talent

To compensate, millions are on phone to listen to them now

Andreas Pavlou the words of an ignoramus

Your comment should have got 10,000 likes. You are so right cell phones for ruin our culture.

Jeff Johansen correction Rock "N" Roll band... don't forget the "N" Roll part. There are still others holding the flame too.

Do you know that Rock had hundreds of sub genres.? Metal is a sub-genre of rock. So technically you are right, this is a rock band. But if you want to be more specific, you can go for hard rock

Alex King The is a Rock N Roll band and yes more specifically a hard Rock N Roll band... but the N Roll is in there... not just “Rock”

What makes them an ‘actual rock band’ and other not?

Tom Atkinson I would clarify his statement as “an Actual Rock N Roll band” Rock is a fairly loose term and can group many modern bands into... very few Rock N Roll bands actually come out any more.

I saw them live last week and they were amazing.

Midway47 @@

Ok si tu you

Ok with y ou

Same

*agreed*

Marcelo Decon uneFing immensely unbelievably undeniably! Long live rock!

Diesel Ray I call shotgun

hey man, i got shotgun

MrDavidhasslehoff says the guy listening through his iPhone speakers

Epyx911 💕I AM LOVE WITH THIS,AND JUST WAS TOLD ABOUT THEM LAST NIGHT,NOT ONE BAD SONG💖,ROCK GODS💖 AFTER ALL❣❣❣

And he's so consistent. He knows exactly how to get the sound he's looking for and nails it every time.

He actually had no vocal coaching

Happily Ever After Gaming Maybe it's their grandparents lol.

Or maybe the audience was told to stay seated... It IS being filmed live... Lol.

I remember seeing very early Zeppelin footage where the small audience was sitting. Looks like they are performing for some college class. I will see them in Oct. We are all there because we like the band and will be standing!

Where are you going to see them in Oct.? I will be seeing them on 10/03 at the Ottobar in Baltimore, MD.

Oct 23 in Portland Or.

deb flood Mine too, Deb

You are crazy cute Debbie...not to mention your good taste in music...

@Tim...Eye of the beholder dude...it still blows my "skirt" up...I say she's crazy cute.

@Tim...lol...no there is no redeeming a mullet...

Steve Fowler Plus the 80's are the Best. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what a great, fun time it was.

iPod machine

you mean cassette player. or was it an "A" track? aawww who cares. sic band TG their around!

and you suck

*I p o d M a c h i n e*

@@allan7934 *8 track

These guys aren't Millennials. Millenials were officially born between 1981 and 1996. Greta Van Fleet are Generation Z. People need to stop automatically labelling "young people" as Millennials. The majority of us Millennials are in our 30s now (I'm 32). Yes, shocking, time moved on :P.

RV Mitra you mean staylist!

Totally agree

Saw them live last year at louder than life music festival in Louisville KY. Just no words how to describe how amazing they are. Very talented. 🤘

I'm a convert as of 5 minutes ago. The Record (Stockton newspaper) review brought me here!

Mark Taylor clearly you never heard of Mars volta , Devin townsend, or Nightingale.

It's not 1970s anymore music has evolved, greta van fleet plays a very specific type of music that honestly is catered to those who like led zeppelin and stuff like that

Lead singer has a GREAT voice.Drummer is mediocre.Good guitars.This band will go far.

BookFreakyTube Yes, exactly!

MrDavidhasslehoff Lies

Yes its a real band asshole

Best thing to hit my American ears in a long time from the USA.

@@macleadg Best thing to hit my Texan ears in a long time from the USA

Best thing to hit my Brazilian ears in a long time from the USA. I'm really excited about this band

Right? They came along about 30 years too late for me! ;)

Gabriel Creakman don't jinx it!😖.......talent like this has had tragically been taken from us before.......buddy holly........etc

mercster What about Ghost? They’re fantastic and actually sound unique.

Demetrius Silva lol

madison brinkman Not trying to be mean or anything but what's the joke about it? 😀

Mr. Dark look, a hater, how cute

Mr. Dark he only sounds like that because he's trying to save his voice, constantly doing that is really killer. He knows to only sing his best when he's in the bigger concerts, if he keeps on singing like he does in the recording by the time he's 30 reaching 40 the surgeries won't help anymore

I mean even Robert Plant smoked and did coke and everything, things known for "destroying voices" but honestly considering that's something he was born with I think the odds are more in his favor than against him that he can probably pick up any number of bad habits and retain it. Another thing is touring musicians are constantly exercising their vocals, so idk, I am not saying get a drug problem and be a rock cliche or anything although it is a risk factor, the fact remains the same that no vocal coach in the world could teach him to do what he can do. I am not saying he doesn't work at it, but at the end of the day that's nothing short of talent he has. Period. Can't say the same as much for the rest of his band. They're good, don't get me wrong, but what he can do is like Michael Jackson compared to the Jackson Five levels of talent. Don't be surprised if/when he ends up clicking up with another band at some point in his life. At the end of the day though he probably won't roll on his family until it comes time for him to embark on a solo career and I wouldn't be shocked at all if that happened. He's the one with the real talent in the group.

They all must get all the chicks

Too bad he sounded like complete shit..... This was far from his best....

Mr. Dark hahahahahaha I just checked ONE comment and you were there saying the same thing again. You really need to take that hatred off you don't you?

Mr. Dark what are you talking about, he sounded almost like he does on the double ep, ya this isn't his best he's had better but this is still good

Also thats his voice at his worst. He sounds so much better live now. Think he figured out how to prepare properly before a show, which is not always easy for singers.

Forza Motorsport Brazuca concordo

Rock and roll voltou

Kkkkk I believe in miracles!!

Putz tô louco com o som dos caras! Sensação de que o rock não acabou.

Foda se as outras banda só quero rock roll nos meus ouvido

SYN Gates foREVer I love how they are just starting out and they are already better than avenged sevenfold ever was.

Wooooho, right on man !!

Never thought that before

they are just ripping off led zep, they are pathetic

Rob D. Wow, what kind of music do you listen to, or what don't you listen to, to think R 'n R is dead? Rock 'n Roll never dies

DiamondDave So fucking true. Blatant rip off

cyberian2007 Yes!!🛠Absolutely Right!!👍 🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

AMEN, to that. I saw them on 10/03, with extremely high expectations and they EXCEEDED them. I got to meet & hang out with Sam Kiska (bass/keys), Jake Kiska (guitar), and Danny Wagner (drums) after the show. They said Josh was staying in the bus to "rest his instrument"! Lol. However, Josh DID grin and wave at me from the bus window. All I could see were his eyes and his fingers waving. It was cute & made me smile and wave back. The other three are amazingly humble, kind, courteous, articulate, funny & friendly young men. I loved their music BEFORE I saw them. After seeing them & hanging out with them & the other 10-15 fans who stuck around after the show, I am now a LIFELONG fan. Their double EP, "From the Fires," is scheduled to drop on 11/10/2017. It will contain the 4 tracks from their "Black Smoke Rising" EP & 4 additional tracks.

They are great. But come on ... LED ZEPPELIN they can never EVER EVER be matched they are LED ZEPPELIN

HAHHAHA

TheRealCritique shh let people enjoy things
