Greta Van Fleet: We Always Want to Be Honest With Our Music 

Yes please

I'd buy that!

They already flashed their butts for the election, which was a funny pic but they weren’t singing

I'll sign

Yes, and I also vote for the album Jake mentioned, where it just keeps going from beginning to end with no breaks. Certainly wouldnt be radio friendly, but for those of us who BUY physical copies of an album and listen to it on quality stereo equipment, I know it would be incredible! Like riding a wave all the way into the beach. I would BUY both. ✌💗 & 🤝

... popper-art-SEE-!!! ...

Yeah, I think 2020 and everything that has happened from then to now has pretty much changed most folks' viewpoint on things and sobered us up a lot.

@@gayle8153 Amen, if it hasn't changed anybody's views on life and the things around them, then nothing will.

Can't wait either!! Pre-ordered it earlier today 🤘🏻🤘🏻

This!

They always have

@Mr. snickett ever heard of Led Zeppelin?

@@danielgreen2538 can there ever be a good band without comparison to Zeppelin? I've loved Led Zeppelin since day 1. But their time is over. Open your hearts and minds to a new day!

@Mr. snickett Thanks, I'm very familiar with those bands

After Heat Above came Broken Bells.. perfect song in every way

@Mr. snickett don’t get me wrong, i love all of it those bands and Led Zeppelin in particular more than life itself, it’s just harder to get organic sound that these guys have in this climate. Since they went in their own direction, it’s becoming a well oiled machine with originality now involved that’s why I am excited for the first newer band i can appreciate

@Mr. snickett no it all hasn't been done! How could that ever be the case for anything creative? God forbid! GVF proves that, even as they evolve upon themselves, growth! Music, ie. Rock-n-roll never died, it's been continuously evolving, and GVF give the world their view and life experiences in music in the rock-n-roll genre, and the world is loving their unique point of view!! They are truly gifted, relevant and authentic! Love them!!!

@@theswordoftruth-dn9yc say it louder

@@mr.snickett441 ... i don't know, but ile give it a go ...

You mean Muddy Waters

@Mr. snickett I've always enjoyed LZ, and yes, they've INFLUENCED many bands that came after them. But they are the GRANDFATHERS of rock and roll. Greta Van Fleet give credit to many genres that have influenced them, and Josh's voice has over a 2 1/2 octave range! He can easily sing in a higher register, so that's what he uses. LZ is the awesome past - GVF is the amazing future. I can enjoy both with no problem at all. ☮️

You must have an amazing sound system; I had to listen, hard, to hear the dog barking.

(SCREEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAMMMMMIIIIIIINNNGGGGGGGG!!!!!!) YES! YES!

Ha

I CANT BELIEVE IT!!!! WOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!! SO EXITED!!!!!! I CANT WAIT!!!!!

OHHHHHH BROOOOOS

She kind of sucks tbh

It's ok, you can like the Led Zeppelin tribute band if you want to, don't get upset now

amen! when people parrot this, it tells me that either a) they've only listened to "highway tune", b) they don't listen to a wide range of music or c) both. i hear rush, pink floyd, janis joplin, blind melon, etc. etc.

So Age of Machine sounds NOTHING like No Quarter??? Like they don't have a single thing in common. Gimme a break; Age of Machine doesn't sound like a rip off of No Quarter but it shares some strong similarities.

@@jamesolson2304 you really are reaching with that comparison, they don’t sound anything alike. They might follow a similar progression but chromatically they are two completely different songs

@@GretaVanZeppelin1996 I’ve heard the no quarter comparison many times.... I don’t get it. I just think people will do whatever they can to compare a GVF song to a LZ song.

Who are you? Credit??? Say what?

@Matt T. And you must be a Green Day fan or a Hannah Montana fan...

Do you hate the haters?

who cares. It doesn't affect your life if people are hating.

@Matt T. I change my comment, not haters. I meant assholes. Nothing better to do.

@@PerfectPlex090 They're expressing their feelings, just like you are

Josh likes to lift his arms while singing to express emotions, and this new album so filled with emotion, so he's making a little joke about how he has to lift his arms even higher to express the amount of emotion that comes from this album

Me too, just ordered the tie dyed version! 🤘

Pre-ordered it today

I used Google translator so I hope it is correct, sorry: ¡Podemos decir que la querida Black Flag Exposition estará allí! The Weight of Dreams es de hecho su evolución, aún más extensa. Con esta perla terminará el álbum. "Garden's Gate" representa para Josh, creador del título del álbum, lo que queda del mundo natural y "The Battle" es obviamente todo lo que lo amenaza constantemente. Jake encuentra que este título es consistente con las historias que se cuentan pieza por pieza. En este sentido, The Barbarians y Caravel se han sumado gracias al paro forzoso que provocó la pandemia, logrando así completar el "puzzle". Josh describe el trabajo como "más meticuloso, más progressive". El tono es más dramático que los álbumes anteriores y no hay temas que destaquen especialmente, es un trabajo para ser apreciado en su totalidad. Es motivo de satisfacción para Jake formar parte de un grupo que deja espacio a la expresión instrumental, como sus solos de 5 minutos que, como señala, ya no son habituales en la actualidad. Su deseo es transmitir la importancia de esta dimensión musical a las nuevas generaciones. Están ansiosos por tocar el nuevo material en vivo, que Jake llama "extremadamente divertido de tocar", así como muy variado y, a veces, complejo. •Cuando se les preguntó si se habían 'vuelto salvajes' durante el encierro, Josh respondió con "sí, la sangre está goteando de nuestros colmillos" y que "teme a la domesticación más que a nada." •Josh bromea sobre hacer un álbum paralelo de él cantando en la ducha • Jake dice que las canciones más caóticas provienen de las tours y las 'canciones folky y lullaby-esque' provienen de estar en casa • Josh dice que él y Jake son "los mejores amigos, pero también los mayores enemigos ... día y noche". • Josh cuando habla de decirle a jake su idea para el título del álbum "normalmente me dice una idea y yo le diré que es una mierda. Luego le diré una idea y él me dirá que es una mierda, pero él en realidad me gustó mucho "

@@LadyVendetta74 ooh gracias !

I am a 65 year old, woman and handicapped, I walk with a walker/cane; but, I would love it if my last adventure out of my home was to attend Greta Van Fleet concert. My only fear is being knocked down, but my husband will help me.

The issue is when you claim you were not inspired by zep.

@@MrKoolaidjam they've never claimed that. they just said zep wasn't their only influence, which is true if you've listened to any of their music.

@@catchinglooks "Led Zeppelin were NOT an overhwhelming influence for our music." I call bullshit.

@@MrKoolaidjam IMO, the only songs on that first EP that sound zepp-y are highway tune, flower power, and safari song. so, yeah, out of 8 songs, that's not "overwhelming." and the last album has even fewer. anyway, the bottom line is, if it sounds good, who cares either way? listen or don't.

@@catchinglooks I enjoy some of their stuff. Again I just don't think they credit zeppelin as much as they should to the point where even Robert plant had a little jab at them. I'm not even a big Zep fan tbh but it's more the principal. But at the end of the day I don't care what Greta van fleet does. I was just answering the initial question as to why they get hate.

If they're the saviours of rock then rock is already dead

Great comment. Yes, give them another chance, they're definitively evolving and their new stuff is very different and mature.

@@crazyprayingmantis5596 lol nobody is saying that, why are you even here if you dislike them?

@@ljummingen Just to annoy you 😜

@@ljummingen The original post said "these guys are what's helping keep rock alive" That's why I said what I said

I believe that their studio/office/whatever is located near a train line so it must shake the place a little bit

Jake will NEVER LIVE IT DOWN!!

No they’re vocal and guitar

Love him with and without. Such a great guy!

Nothing like hitting puberty at 22

Prefer without

He looks like a greaseball wym

Search "Greta Van Fleet - The Weight of Dreams (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheater)". It's a song they use to play live, which is not included in any of their albums. It's 9 minutes (sometimes more), mostly instrumental and some lyrics from a song by Melanie Safka. It's a very special moment of their live shows. Fans were hoping to find it on the new album and so it is. They changed the title and lyrics

@@LadyVendetta74 AWESOMENESS! I just listened to it. Thanks so much for taking the time to answer my question. I’ve been a fan of GVF since the very first EP and was totally confused by the “Black Flag Exposition” title. Appreciate your answer. ✟God Bless✟

You're welcome!

Never saw such similarities till I read this comment haha 😂

Ellie Fredrickson. Yeah, kinda, but lighter colored hair.

Nikola Belyaev. The easiest thing to do is not to bother trying. If you like their music, ignore all of the snide and downright ignorant remarks and just enjoy what you like. That's truly all that really matters.❤
