Greta Van Fleet Talk R&B Influences (Hendrix, Beatles), Family Relationships & Band Drama - Part One 

I'm almost 19 and when Josh said they didn't have many friends to talk to about that kind of music, I really felt that.

It’s nice to here a gvf interview without Led Zeppelin being mentioned

Josh speaks so beautifully, he almost has his own accent/dialect that is different from his Brothers.

Someone please give Danny his own interview. I feel like he has a lot to say but never gets to say it.

These guys remind me of me and my buddies back in the 70s. It's so nice to see young people getting together, playing real instruments and making music. I wish them all the best. Thank you Joe for giving them respect and exposing us to them.

Have been an unconditional fan since 2018. Couldn't believe that 4 boys MY AGE were brought up on the SAME EXACT music that I was, and they still listen to it by choice, again just like me. They have my heart! My musical soul mates. I will love these boys forever!!!

Discovering this band was the one good thing that came out of the pandemic lock down for me. Looking forward to seeing them perform live. Appreciate the interview.

Interviewer: "Jake, Josh, Sam, brothers. Danny ..." Sam: "Brother" 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

I laughed out loud when you said you checked out past interviews to make sure they weren't jerks! lol Really love this band and their music. So excited for the new album.

I actually enjoyed how calm and slow this interview was. It felt like you were all hanging out together rather than forced fast cuts in editing and fake laughter trying to get through the interview. Thank you :)

I saw them 3 days ago in Edmonton and I’m still in awe they were absolutely breathtaking take me back 😭

So much more mature and articulate than any artist you hear on the radio.

People like to give these guys a hard time about the obvious influence of Led Zeppelin, which is not necessarily a bad thing Its what they are They seem to be getting more mature as musicians and as they grow into manhood their lyrics will evolve with life experience They don’t try to be something they are not which is refreshing And its NOT hip hop garbage or phony recycled computer logarithm so-called “country” Thank goodness these young men are keeping the format alive

This sit down shows how music travels easily across generations when players talk.

Joe, I’m older than you but my son in law likes these guys. Great interview. No generation gap with you

Wonderful, relaxed interview that was honest and respectful. I love this band, their humility, their values, their message, and their music. Thanks for a wonderful interview.

This is great, embracing young musicians.

New gvf interview 😍 can’t wait for the new album!

I love how they all talk at the same time! Anxiously awaiting the next portion! GVF

Such a great band. So great to see young people creating quality music filled with nothing but talent. I saw them live two years ago and have been a big fan ever since... great guys and even better music.

Great interview! I’ve watched a lot of interviews of these guys where they were asked the same questions over and over so it was nice to hear something different for a change.

Thank you so much for introducing me to this group. I was put off by the name and never bothered to investigate what they were about. Totally different than what I imagined. Some of what I've heard so far is reminiscent of Zep at their bluesiest, which is not to take anything away from GVF as musicians. They have their own groove and sound and I'm looking forward to getting deeper into their catalog. It's really gratifying to see someone deeply influenced by but not imitative of the music I grew up on.

Joe... this is by far the best interview I have ever seen... your genuine interest in the band and their music, it really shows and it feels so personal that is inspiring to see. Thank you so much for what you do.

Great interview Joe. Great band. I'm sure alot of their young fans will enjoy what they learn from your other interviews... Can't wait for part 2 and 3....

Hello, Joe! Thanks for the interview. I discovered GVF just recently and I can't stop jammin' to their songs. I have found passion for music again after a long time because of them. This interview was refreshing and it was nice to learn about the "basics" like first guitars and songs etc. Can't wait for the 2nd and 3rd episode. Cheers from Finland✌️

Fabulous interview, Joe! Such great guys, and selection choice for a different kind of interview! Well done!

Really enjoyed the interview. I was fortunate to discover them in 2017 and knew immediately they are the real deal. I did see them live in Las Vegas in 2019. Their performance was phenomenal. Like you, I have watched many of their interviews and even interviews with their parents. They are absolutely authentic to their midwestern, small town roots and it shows. Their parents clearly did a great job raising them. Thanks to them and everyone who has made GVF possible. We are all beneficiaries as a result. They are so needed in this timeline and for the rock genre specifically. Thanks for posting.

Thanks from an old gal who’s been totally transformed by these youngsters and their families. What a gift to use are they.

LOVE this interview, thank you❤️ love this band so much, can't wait till the album is out🙌🏼

Greta Van Fleet are sooo talented, oohhh my goodness I love all their talents and Josh's voice is awesome!! ❤️🤘✌️

I learned about these guys about 24 hours ago. I've been binging their music none stop. I'm not usually impressed lately with artists, Greta Van Fleet are a breath of fresh air. Amazing band. 👏

Thank you for showcasing this great band. There is hope for the future🌟!

I’ve only just discovered GVF but they’ve changed so much in my life in such a short amount of time. I hope soon I’ll be able to see them live and in person. Truly an amazing band, and just around fantastic people.

Seems like a very nice man. It’s such a turn-off when the interviewer tries to be “the star of the show.” This is just like an informal chat, and that he’s genuinely interested in them. I like that instead of coming with pre-rehearsed “sound bites” or “talking points” to plug their album they’re so far just listening respectfully and politely answering but with a little laid-back humor. Pleasing to watch.

Joe, thanks for turning me on to someone new! Great bunch of guys! Rock n Roll is in great hands with a new generation! Looking forward to next episode! Great interview, thanks as always!💫

Joe thanks for doing this interview!

Thank you Joe for this Greta interview! I absolutely love this band they have really great music and all very genuine about what they do! Can’t wait for the new album :)

These guys seem genuine. And they are one of the few who have broke through with new rock. Great interview Joe. Looking forward to the rest of the series. 👍🏻😎

I love Greta van Fleet. I heard a Gen Z saying these days they can listen to what ever era they want to because of the internet. He found and now listens to 1800s and early 20th century music for example as his main music, but he listens to the current music as a back-up. I've been at a family party event and all that was played was 1950s and 1960s stuff organised by a 24year old, because that is the music that she liked. I might play Greta van Fleet 'Edge of Darkness' and then after that Jimmi Hendrix 'Hey Joe'.

Joe thanks for having these guys! TG rock is still alive and will last for ever! Sammy Fish, Damien Salizar, Helen Ibe, and hopefully thousands more! It's amazing how many of the young ones are coming back! My 7 & 12 y.o.s are listening to, Prince, The Eagles, CCR, Meatloaf, who'd thought?

I love what Jake said about how young they were when they started listening to blues music it was a critical time being so young your mind is so open to things

Loved every bit of this!! What an amazing interviewer!

Loved this video. Very chill and beautiful talk it was very entertaining. Greta Van Fleet makes good music indeed 🤍

My favorite band since 2019💗

wow you're on it!!!!!looooooooooove these guys.thank you!!!!goosebumps!!!!love the guys to death glad you heard of them.you have got to listen to the new album 4/16 21 now on youtube here n there

Hey Joe. i had not heard of them before i saw this interview. you made me go listen them. i am listening to 'Live at the Red Rocks Amphitheater' HA! they are GREAT!!: swell guys, too!

When they name all these Blues songs and artists, it knocks me out. I almost want to tear up. 💙

If we ever get back to live performances again, these guys are incredible live!

Nice interview, I love the channel. Keep dong this please

awesome interview!

Happy you interviewed them. Great contrast of the classic greats and the future greats!

LOVE this band! Been following them for years and it’s amazing too see and hear how much they grow as musicians!! 🤘✌️

These kids are dedicated to great rock. Frankenmuth is a small town in central Michigan. About 45 minutes from Tim's Guitar World Studios. They are sophisticated way beyond their year's. I wish more new players would follow this same path. Greta Van Fleet could save Rock and Roll. Love these guys. Great interview. 😎

These guys are so humble and great, great interview

Joe Chambers. Such a brilliant man to have fallen deep in Greta Van Fleet's music with the rest of us. Well over 76 million. Thank you.

I like your interview style..it's very natural and you ask good questions

Another fantastic interview Mr Chambers thanks for steadily bringing them...Would love to See you have John 5 on amazing multi genre guitarist

they are such a great band! I'm so glad I found them

Dang, I can definitely relate to not having a lot of people my age to talk about my favorite music to. I’ve been writing music for almost seven years now and I love doing it just like these guys. It’s always awesome to hear from fellow musicians. Great interview.

This is the type of music I have been looking for!

Great interview - thanks!! Each of you, very open-minded, honest .... and so forth.....just real people being people!!! Pass the proverbial torch along the torturous path of rock and roll. Peace ✌☮

I like these boys and I think they are the real deal. We have 2 rock stations local and the station in Raleigh don’t play them but the one in Fayetteville plays them regularly. Thanks Joe

Jake's parents were great in that advice FIRST learning the acoustic right. I tell that every time to my children at daycare when I play my guitar and they intend to take lessons: FIRST learn the acoustic basics correctly.

great interview joe :)

Michigan representing!❤

Liking Sam’s look.

Love your relaxed, honest interview style Joe. It brings the best out in the people you are talking too. Just wondering.. Do you ever take any famous instruments in the museum home and have a play on them? I wouldn't be able to help myself. :)

I grew up 4 miles from Frankenmuth. It is the #1 tourist town in Michigan. It’s very small. Shocking this band is from there. But, everyone’s gotta be from somewhere! Check out Frankenmuth. Great place for a weekend getaway, especially in summer.

Fantastic interview!

Joe you are such a Cool cat, this was Fantastic Stay Awesome and Thank you & Greta Van Fleet and everyone @ MHFM

BRAVO JOE, i just LOVE, Greta Van Fleet, they are DA BOMB ! First time i saw them in video, my jaw dropped, Rock is still alive, it has ARISEN, with this band! I also knew Berry Oakley, he was a very good friend of my cousin Paul, may he ALWAYS rip, with my dear friend Jimi Hendrix, this interview is sooo AWESOME, THANK YOU!🤗

Wow. It can't believe it. Some one around my age (early twenties) who was taught early blues and classic rock. I consider my dad, in some ways, a late blues and early rock enthusiast - showed me bands I, and a lot of my generation, have never heard about. Thank you, Greta Van Fleet, for keeping Rock n Roll alive - from myself, my brothers, and dad!

I officially own all their vinyl. I found them late so had to buy at auction. It cost me, but I don't care. This is definitely their best interview and it's obvious that it's not just to pump the channel, but a genuine interest.

Great interview!

Great Interview!

They are amazing!! I am so happy for them!

Nice interview, my dad passed away from cancer June 13 and I just know he would of loved there music

They are one of my favorite bands and that's awesome they grew up on blues stuff. I grew up on rock really, like CCR, Guns n roses, LZ of course, AC/DC. But nowadays, being almost 40 now, I love the blues. I've gotten way more into that. This interview goes to show you they grew up right. They even did a cover of Evil by Howlin' Wolf.

Great interview Joe. I don't know this band but I have a lot of respect for them and their parents that raised them. Although they are very young they are very respectful to you and to the musicians that came before them.I always like to see young talent recognize the artist that laid the way before them and give them their proper respect due.

I love them. Thanks for saving Rock and Roll. Hope Josh's voice holds up

My favorite band since 2019. Can't wait for them to be on those walls!

Was hoping the guys were gonna give a hint into the possible timing(and direction)of their next album. Been listening to BAGG and already want more!😁

These young men rock and they have the right foundation! Same lineup as The Who and Zep. Thank you Joe!!

great interview

They have grown up so much! But when they were younger, interviews always had a sense of impending chaos! There was lots of yelling and movement. I liked them then, but I really love the new music!

Love these boys; it resonated with me when they said they couldn't own a business together because I have 4 boys who tried to do a painting biz together & it was a disaster:( So glad GVF do music;)

All the bands I grew up on are getting much older and not touring as much and I was missing the music I loved and then I hear GVF I was blown away it was familiar it was that 70's rock that I grew up within the 21st century Now LZ decided to brake up in the '80s after Bonham died (rip) they had a true Blues/Rock thing going on and in the beginning, GVF did as well that is what drew them to me in the beginning but as time has gone on they have gotten more Progressive with their lyrics(writing) but the band still has that 70's vibe when they play that combination is what will keep me as a fan and make them different than anyone else IMO.

I had a grandpa Van Fleet. 👍

Awesome bunch of young men!

Loved the interview. Great host, good conversation. Could do with much better audio though.

Good interview

Love Greta🥰

When I was a child my dad had a Tom petty and the heartbreakers cassette and me and my sisters really liked it and it wasn’t long before we knew all the lyrics . I still love Tom petty rip to a legend I gotta say one of the most consistent artists ever as far as making hits. I’m not saying he’s the most intricate or best player , but songwriting he’s one of the greats.

Great band and great guys all around🤘🏽🎸

They’re cool young guys! I’m surprised by their influences and knowledge of music considering how young they still are. They are really smart and some of their songs are great! I hope they keep going and evolve more musically. This damn pandemic just cut their last Tour off after they played around the world successfully for a year. They were doing so well and then everything shut down. They will comeback I assume and I wish them more success. If you don’t like them, then don’t listen. I’m tired of the negative comparisons. People are just jealous and petty. I like them! So forget yourself if you don’t! I don’t care what you think. Go listen to Bieber then, you Jellyfish! I like Rock! And these guys Rock! 👏🏻🎸😎

Good kids.Glad to experience their talent!

Simply awesome. LED ZEP is back!

Love these guys.. finally, some good classic Rock I'm actually alive to appreciate. Saved Rock from dying out in a sea of techno pop with no talent surrounding actual instruments and raw voices.

there is no need to mention Led Zeppelin here ....they are thier own band in thier own right, great voices and great music. They are fantastic!! Just great to see a band that actually play and sing true music withought help from a computer.

Great stuff. GVF is the real deal! 👍
