I've listened to these guys a lot. To all the haters just let this thing grow organically. We need bands like this. Watch an interview when they talk influence. I've never heard 18-21 year Olds talk about the artists they do. They are highly musically educated. I'd rather have music like this than the pop garbage that is everywhere. The only way you can get something this good is if you have a group of musicians that are isolated much like the Seattle sene in the 90's. Stuff like this doesn't happen often anymore enjoy and let it grow!
I'm a massive Led fan and I think what they're doing is just fine! Awesome in fact! So young and full of great energy and enthusiasm it's so refreshing to see and hear... People moaning should just give these guys a break.
Sam Wright they are amazing, and Robert Plant is my favorite male vocalist. I'm super excited about this band. Love everything I've heard by them, and I've searched out everything there is on RU-vid...they have NO bad songs! Can't wait for the new stuff to come out.
Man, my best friend just turned me on to this band today. I have not turned their music off for five hours now and I cant get over their abilities. I have two children who are also musicians and I know this level takes being grounded and disciplined. Its so good to know that this generation will be carrying on along side my generation, I am 51, I thought all could be lost so many times with all the canned BS that has come with this age. Remember the Alamo!
To everyone saying the singer is trying to imitate Robert Plant, he’s said in many interviews that it’s easiest for him to get power out of his voice singing like this, and that he is not trying to copy Plant.
Yeah but everybody singing uses their hands and guess what, motioning to the sky has got to be one of the most commonly used gestures in show bizz. Who did Plant get it off? Sinatra? Elvis? Plants main thang physically was his hair which Josh doesn't need to hide behind. Josh is far more engaging and camera wize he's better than everone. When the Curtain Falls video. Have a look. He's got it in SPADES.
Hey.. even Robert likes him.. so that's the "seal of approval" . "Imitation is the greatest form of flattery". Sure, there a lot of other good bands out there, but these guys do it with just the four of them.. no other surplus musicians.
Have no fear GVF your following is growing...and each of us are doing our part to spread the news of the next GREAT Rock Band...They are here and will be with us for DECADES to come!!!!! wooot.
I just discovered these guys. There's a small clip of Josh singing on SNL that people are stitching on tiktok. I had to find out who they are, found them here on RU-vid and I've not stopped listening since. I have 2 sons around these guy's age, both musicians that I raised on 70s rock. One is an actor/musician out in Los Angeles the other is kind of shy and doesn't care to play in public. Hoping they all keep up the trend 🙏🏼🤟❤
To all you who dislike the band because of obvious similarities to a certain band who I hold in high esteem,they set the bar but just remember they have been sued numerous times for ripping of other people’s music without giving credit until they get caught,Willie Dixon was payed close to a million,and Page blames Plant on some of the issues in Rolling Stone,but nobody wants to hear it.
They've been touring nonstop since September. Rollercoaster ride has begun. Love GVF vibe. They remind me of so many great bands all rolled into one. Retro metro rock & roll!
lam impressed you really put the great sound of Michigan backwood rock and roll out, that's how all great bands start I am from Texas and really love to invite you to share your music with us, peace,God be with you my rock and roll brothers.
We have always been lucky here in TX.to have good bands,every weekend you can find one,and SRV and Zeppelin use to come here with out,no one knowing just show up and play but that was a long time ago,now what T.X needs is some more radio stations,like the old days DLS. Q102,KZEW, and a bunch more.
Great young band, hope I’ll get to listen to them for many years! (Tho I think there’s been a lot of shows since this; Josh’s voice was better here...)
Wrote these guys off on first EP then dug in on Black Smoke Rising then it was: “Yeah, these are the real deal.”. Love watching them getting better live on RU-vid. This is a killer R N R performance! Whiffs of all great bands but this is an awesome powerhouse show....and not a shit guitar in sight. Couldn’t make this noise with PRS or Music man shit.
These guys rock how nice of them to give their time up for their fans,most wouldn't have done that and if they did it would be one song or two,WOW 💜GVF💜 HOPE THEY STAY HUMBLE!!!
Well, I'm a old fk, and for some years now, I assumed that just about all millennial rock was Ritalin soaked beta male mishmosh; because that's all I kept hearing (I'll avoid names of bands, not important). I was wrong. These guys rock; really. Nice to see it, and to hear it. Hope many more kids follow suit. Hope these guys become superstars, really.
The point of the matter is that they have a lot of room to grow and mature musically and maybe inculcate some new instrumentation into their sound.Its important to be young in this industry to flourish and have some lasting impact.The singer (I forgot his name) should create some harmonies for future songs.
I think they’re a great band. Like Zeppelin, yeah sure more like he sounds like Robert Plant . He’s sufficiently unlike him though to be his own thing. They’re young, just starting their careers . No pressure lads but I expect great things. Great show. Jonesy your the best. Thanks.
This is Great! I Love Highway Song! What a great Song to kick off the show! The Greta’s prove they are the real thing here! Finally a Band that plays Rock n Roll! Listen British Hipsters! Please Copy and Imitate this Band and Retro Trend All you like! Please send us some New Rock Bands! No more Coldplay’s! That Crap Ain’t Rock n Roll! The first and last time I heard them I said to myself this isn’t Rock n Roll! I know you can do better as you had many Great Rock Bands in the Past. Beatles, Stones, led zep, The Who, Sex Pistols, Queen, TRex and the Police and many others! So what happened? I haven’t gotten excited about or cared about a British Rock band in about 20 years! I know you can do it if the Greta’s can! You can too! Look at Where are they from! Nowheresville! No offense to that town but no one ever heard of it. Great Music can come from anywhere practically! Surprise me! Like GVF have! I know you got it in you!
First, buy some instruments! Bass, drums, Guitar 🎸! Then start playing with your friends and learn other bands songs note for note. Then start jamming and then eventually you’ll start writing your own original songs. Give it some time! It’s not going to happen overnight unless your Geniuses or wunderkinds! Do I have to hold your hands? You can do it! It’s a lot like learning to ride a bike! First, you ride with training wheels and then they come off and then your flying on your own! I know you want to Rock n Roll! Just Do It!
Lol I was scrolling threw comments and saw this and I’m pretty sure he accidentally said “veta gran fleet” instead of Greta van fleet I think that’s why Josh giggled hahahah I do that a lot accidentally mixing up the first letters of words😂😂
Well, I am watching this in 2023 and a lot has happened to them and the world including a pandemic, and I know that they've chosen to make their homes in Nashville, not Los Angeles which makes me sad. I hope it's because it's closer to Americana and roots music and not because of our lack of farmers' daughters 😅. Keep on rockin' KLOS old farts. 😂
You are trolling all their vids; for your own sake find something better to do with your time. Actually I have a song for you, personal fave lately: Wasted Time by Cloves
The singer sounds like he's yodeling during parts of that second song they played and his voice cracked on Highway Tune. Stop playing into all the hype and get some rest, dude.
Everybody keeps talking about the singer, but isn't it the guitarist who usually comes up with the riffs? I'd like to hear more about who his influences were (obviously, Jimmy Page being one of them).
I thought out of all vids I seen This was the vocalist weakest one yet.Crackling voice fucking round too much.Wasnt impressed this time.And I’m a big fan.It Like his mouth changes to with the character voicing.I think also his wardrobe doesn’t match other member so well.N grow that hair out again man.disappointing.z1.5 outta 5 stars.
Seems like it happens every damn time with the greats doe. Dope, death, breakup, done. Hard to believe that sound comes out of that guy. He's a certified squaller.
I like the music & am not hating at all, but the singer needs to stop copying Plant's hand thing. Good voice, but you're crossing a line when you even try to act & copy their mannerisms. That's why he gets called a knockoff
"...and the guitarist-Page..." LOL! At least with a statement as absurd as that you proved you don't know wtf you're talking about so I can disregard the rest of your post. Also, try not getting offended by every opinion you come across on the internet that you don't agree with, snowflake.
The rest of the band isn't even in the same solar system as JpJ/Bonham/Page... The singer has a decent voice, but the hand gestures are a straight rip-off, the music...not so much.
He’s clearly imitating Robert Plant of Led Zeppelin, and he sounds like a hen. Believe me: listen to some Led Zeppelin’s songs, maybe live so you can compare the style, and then return on this s***. Believe me, I’m not fooling.
Ken Gibbens Hey hey hey I’m okay. I’m just sure that’s not only influence. It’s in the middle of being a tribute band and an influenced band, so I personally don’t like it much. In my opinion they don’t have any musical identity, so they’d better become a good tribute band. I’m really relaxed right now, so please don’t attack me because I have expressed my own opinion, thanksss
Nikos Paolinelli I guess he sound like plant but I’ve listen to both of them and the more I listen it’s a different still even plant said this band can go places .
You sound like a butt-hurt cry baby. I have never wasted my time watching performances of artists I don't enjoy. I mean did you trash 30 min of your life just to troll this vid? Sad.
I’ll be honest, this isn’t my favorite of Josh’s performances... But he is an absolute beast of a vocalist. He more than likely wasn’t warmed up for this, but go take a listen to any other tracks like Edge of Darkness or Change Is Gonna Come. They’re absolutely ridiculous!
What?! No way...and his voice is amazing in this performance! Love this band more than any I've seen in about 4 decades. They are on the road to rock history...long live this band! They are what this world needs now.
