Amen Ron.I just turned 65 last week.Its great to hear a young band cranking out some VERY GOOD rock. Yeah they sound like Zep, but I think thats a good thing. I hope they have longevity and more young ones follow their lead.
54 yr old mom, have been telling my kids whats missing in today's music compared to what I grew up with. My daughter heard GVF and her jaw dropped. She gets it. God bless these talented young men. They're here to stay.
I'm a Woodstock guy, from that era.... but I so love Greta van Fleet. They are continuing something that should never die, and doing it in a genuine raw format. Zep influence? Likely. So what? It's fk'n awesome.... Rock LIVES...... GVF making it so.....
P.Frank Zepplin? Yes. But I also here early Rod Stewart, heart, early rush, and so many other 60s and 70s influences. I think people automatically think of Led Zeppelin because of the singer. Secondly the guitarist. In general I feel this band Captures the 60s and 70s vibe which is much needed in this day and age. Not to mention it’s refreshing to be able to listen to this style of music without having to listen to the same albums I’ve heard 1 million times over the years. LOL!
Hell yes it is. And if you say they follow in a bands footsteps than rock is truly dead because all bands follow Chuck Berry and he is a black man. ????

I am a 70's girl and a huge Zeppelin fan!!! finally experiencing my youth again gives me the chills and makes me cry....this rocks and it is amazing music!!! Thank you Greta Van Fleet for bringing me alive again!!!!!
I just heard them for the first time about 2 months ago… I’m a 58 yr old grandma and feel like I’m back in my early teens!!! 😊 these 4 lads are AMAZING!!! 🥰
@@arturoacosta198 oh, it was them keeping it alive? I thought it was the thousands of piss and vinegar young bands in basements that actually push the genre forward without being cheap copies of previous bands. I mean, they're decent players, but...
@@asms_music417 You mean the ones that sound like the bands *they* were inspired by? Nearly every band sounds like some other band. People are ridiculously triggered by Greta Van Fleet. Shut up and enjoy the music. Jimmy Page ain't writing their shit.
@@asms_music417 Lot of great bands are out there "keeping rnr alive" without being a LedZep copy like gvf but they don't get the same display for some reason.
@@Crack_the_Skye I mean the ones that sound like they're inspired by older bands but are also adding new flair and sound, not just borrowing so hard from a well worn playbook. I just have to laugh at comments that make it seem like guitar music was dead, or that "real music" was dead since the 70s. i think it's b/c people are triggered by synths, drum machines and rappers. Fuck it, i like it all, as long as it's honest and trying to push forward, stylistically.
Those of us who watched Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Pink Floyd, Boston and many others in person, know a great band when we see them. These young ones impress me. 👍
Me too! Been a GVF fan since From the Fires was released. There's no denying their musical talent. We've been waiting a long fucking time for traditional, good old fashioned rock n' roll music to come back, now we have it! So go to the bar, put on the jukebox and chill, man! ✌☮👊😊
This band will be iconic. One of the best groups I have seen in past 25 years. I pray that they will stay away from the drugs so they can keep enjoying what they love the most!
I've never heard a base player jam like this one, that goes for all of them and their instruments, including voice. I've never cried so long from happiness as I am right now.
DR Charvel you know how many lawsuits zeppelin had against them, they weren’t too original themselves bud 😭 welcome to the music industry dumb fuck. Greta’s doing just fine
I'll say what's already been said: it's been a long time coming, that someone in this generation, and the last couple of generations, wasn't afraid to play Heavy, Loud, Rock. Thank you.
LIKE THESE DUDES!!! Why can't you just ignore the fact that they are so 70's. JUST BE PROUD THAT THESE DUDES ARE CLASSIC. They are my favorite. Super talented and professional. Just live with.
Toby.... Me too ! I'm a grandmom of a 10yo & 7yo Girls & We blast the Speaker Up top levels & All 3 Free Style Dance like Crazy Allllll over my living room... So I'm Rightttt there w' U. Loving Life, Music, & Rock & Roll. My girls are Crazy bout the Cute long hair brothers.... THANK U JESUS 😚😎😉🤗
V H ..... That was Soooooo Sweetly Said. Simple words... Right 2 the Facts... TRUTH Lets Allllll BOW Our Heads & Pray - Pray U are right 😚 =bella raven bell= Ain't life Gran 😍
@@jhexamer7 that drummer is definitely growing. His skills are sick asF here! Awesome! He got groove , he seems to be picking up a style of his own making, but with a similar loose groove like Steven Adlers playing on Appetite and GnR lies...🥃😎✌🏻
I love that they are not too spit shined and polished between songs. It adds to their credibility as a raw rock n' roll band! Great stuff....No autotune!
Saw them at a small club here in Az and in 40 years of concert going, they were my favorite show ever... fantastic crowd energy and these kids get it and have got it!
@Joe ChandlerChandler that is not the issue, it is that their sound, song structure and style is really similar. Take it as a cover band who pushed their talent to replicate tones, riffs and style and went for an "influenced by" song. They are just starting, maybe they will find their own style and sound in the following years. But, till then, they are just kids with talent and zepp tone.

IDK why anybody would/could hate on these guy's, I mean give them a shot and listen to them Rock! I am a Huge Zeppelin fan and maybe that's why I enjoy these guys so much? But if you actually watch their sets and listen to their music, it's 100% authentic, and so what if they had/have Zeppelin as an influence, as well as an ACDC tone with Jake Kiszka Shredding on the guitar, I mean if you can't feel that, well then you just aren't human. 🤩🎸🔥😍👏 These guys are already legends in my mind, love it!
I’m 70, and knew these guys were great about a year and a half ago by accidentally viewing the video HighwayTune. They have a right on their own, end of discussion. They will transition in fun, and happiness, like no one before them................ The kid has got a totally original range in a vocal haunting tone........blue rock to who even knows? Tight on three, together by blood brotherhood. With a good minded friend on drums. Omg is the time! Hahahahaha
Anyone who gave this a thumbs down is as ignorant as they come. This is the awakening of a new era, hope for the music world....we're so tired of pop, hip hop and rap this is new life to a dying world! There are not enough words in the English language to give these young men the accolades the truly deserve. The are brave and driven...waking up a world that had died long ago. Praise God for GVF!!!
They Live just down the street from Me . Not Surprised , from listening to them a Block away ! ...That They Couldn't Help .... but Become Famous ! May All Your Dreams Come TRUE !
Damn, you lucky bugger. When you see Josh some time please say "Hello" from the guy in the straw boater in the lane at the back of the Enmore theatre in Sydney Australia? Tell him I was so star struck that I couldn't speak. We just stood there gawking at each other. He'll remember!
A true band full of actual musicians. Bass player plays different guitars, piano, keyboards. Drummer plays guitar as well. And original songs. Not songs written by "ghost" writers but everyone thinks the singer/ band wrote it. And according to the singer, one of his favorite singers growing up was John Denver. Wide range of music taste. Their earlier days, the singer sang in his natural range. Beautiful sound.
You know what's funny? People who have actually seen Zeppelin live in concert love Greta Van Fleet, meanwhile all the hipsters who don't even like rock music hates them and diminishes them for it. It's bullshit nonsense. I say ROCK ON!!
Nevermind the opinions of anybody else, these guys have been my favourite band for the last two years. Grew up on classic rock and I never thought I'd ever have the chance to experience this sound, being born in 1992, I kind of missed out on the majority of what I listen too.
For crying out loud two guys are 18 and two guys are 21 and these guys will be one of the biggest bands ever of rock and roll they will be up there with the Pink Floyd's The rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin to mention a few, I cannot get enough of this guy's they are awesome I cannot wait to see what is ahead
I saw an interview on utube with the mother of 3 of the boys, some one in town saw her and said , “dang, you birthed a band !” . I still find that hilarious
Keep listening people... play the entire hour... get hypnotized. It sucks you in.. Rush Led Zepplin fans don't hate, he's not trying to copy, embrace this young buck and his vibe, with his two brothers and best friend on drums. These boys are connected and the music shows it. Wish them so much more success...
I’m so thrilled that Rock n Roll is coming back and loud Waking us older Rockers up! You know they paid attention to their parents collections. Went out and learned many musical Instruments and practice long and hard. Don’t compare them to no one but themselves . Of course they had many influences they learned from and put their own twist into their performance. They have grown so much from the beginning, more comfortable and having fun . We need more rock bands like these guys, RockOn 🎸
From a guy whose favorite top 4 bands are Led Zeppelin, Rush, Pink Floyd, and Iron Maiden...... these guys are the real deal. In time they will refine their sound to be a little more "their own" and a little more distinctive. Even Rush started out wanting to be like the mighty Led Zeppelin. They too, found their own voices and became legends. Give these young men time. it'll happen. They're totally on the right path.
When I first heard GVF. Who are these guys? There Great 👍 Love them, the Singer is awesome. Couldn't wait to hear more about these guys ❤️. A fan of GVF.
I'm a 59 grow up on 70s -80s Rock music back in my country till present but still listening Classic Rock until now, since I heard this band GVF it feels STILL ALIVE the RNR Music....All the greatest LEGENDS Rock Artist and Rock Band disappeared gone and die now in heaven WATCH them up in the sky and give a big smile and thumbs up yelled LONG LIVE ROCK! ✌🤘☮😎
The greatest thing in my mind about this band is how much they improve with each performance, there isn't a place they cannot go...…..I've been waiting along time for this moment, wow
Every post of these young men have nearly 1m hits and over 1k in comments...majority positive... Haters give it up... These young men are a TIME TUNNEL to a time when ROCK was KING!
@@mattiemclean9882 I remember the Pistols coming on the scene...The Punk scene was underway, I played in a band 8n the 70s when punk jumped out everyone was like, "hey are they playing or just making noise" there was a ton of em trying to make it in the Punk later New Wave music....but a bunch tried to ride the Punk wave
@@sloanchampion85 I was just making a comparison to the fact that some like some music and others like other music... there is room in this world for everyone... but Coldplay ARE fucking boring in my opinion! What instrument did you play?
I'm still waiting for them to do something wrong. They are so tight as a band, and absolutely have their shit together for live performances. Bless them....they're no joke, or "flash in the pan"....wish them a very long career....and looking forward to enjoying the ride along with them. One of the biggest fans no doubt. Can't help it.
Todd Shultis there was almost a screw up during their Chile performance but they improvised and cleaned it up it was such a great save it was the opening song if u get a chance to see it.
Anybody but me notice the sound and talent that comes out of that "oh so basic drum kit"?...basic rock all of the way around. True gems, true talent....fit so well together....fit so well with the incredible music they make. FUCKING AWESOME.....to me, these guys are really truly just fucking unbelievable for our current time. Basic....and better than anything else that's out there now....and for a long time....decades....love them so much

@@peztang.9459 They're not a cover band.. Funny thing is everyone is saying they are a Zeppelin rip-off yet write their own music, and Zeppelin themselves were repeatedly shown to *borrow* music.
The only reason people say they are a rip-off of LZ is because Josh has the same tone and range as Robert Plant, and their music is largely blues based, which Zeppelin's music was based from as well. Same influences in music mean similar sounds are bound to happen. And of course, there's the issue of having the bass player (Sam) move to play keyboards on certain songs, just like John Paul Jones used to do. Put it all together, and people make that comparison.
First time I "discovered" them, I was blown away! Real ROCK, played by Real people! Thank goodness! I had feared Rock was dying... I am a 70 years young guitarist! 👍
Robert Plant said that " there is this band from Detrot" actually they are not from Detroit but anyways my point is that the god of rock and roll and lead singer and the band of all bands said that GVF sounds like them means a lot! Let me clarify no band can compare to Led Zeppelin but getting the blessing from Robert plant! That is an honor. GvF has a long way to go but they are on the right path to greatness
He was endorsing them. The interviewer asked him if there were any up and coming bands that he really, really liked, and he said, "There's this band in Detroit called Greta van Fleet". He called them "Led Zeppelin I" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ePIAaQwYMaM.html
Dwayne Anthony Gaither He was being sarcastic about "hating" the " beautiful little singer". Did you pass 8th grade English? Are you just a hater? You're an Oasis fan, right?
G. B. - I agree. But I don’t think they are the same except for a few minor points. I’m 65, and I saw Zeppelin in concert right after they came out with their first album. GVF is very different. They are their own unique sound and I’m digging it.
@@logicaredux5205 Hi L.Redux, i understood , and i am happy too for that guys . Finally a new R&R band it wase born !!! Long Life to them ! I also bought ticket for watch them at 25 february in Munich but they didnt play anymore....i"ll waiting them next november. I"m Italian . I salute to everybody old and young ROCKER from Milano. CIAO 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
These guys have potential for sure - we will just have to wait and see. As Bon Scott once said, “It’s a long way to the top if you want to rock and roll.”
I'm 53 got the Best of Sabbath, Zep, floid, Queen, Ozzy, Judas, Motley, Maiden, rush and all the Best and now is their turn to keep on rockin and rollin !!!!!! Long live rock and roll
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR BRINGING BACK HARDCORE ROCK N'Roll! Can't wait to get a copy of your new album releasing on April 16th, 2021 'The Battle At Garden's Gate'.
