The New Classics: Greta Van Fleet | Rolling Stone 

Sounds like a cringy thing that a neckbeard would say.

@@alexk3352 It does honestly lol

And EFFORT ! It doesn't take much to hold a remote mic, Learning to play a guitar, drums, & keyboard does ! GVF has outclassed the crap that passes for mainstream "music" today !

it also takes a little more brainpower to actually have an original sound.

Most people are musical pea brains.

I'd love to hear the full song 💖

Lovely melody both in the keys and his vocals. I hope we hear a full finished rendition..i cant be obsessed with a 10 second snippet for the rest of me life 😂

And in a concert

Yes you are.

Why does Sam play keys if Josh can? Then he could play bass full time

They really sre brilliant and keep improving.

People don't make any sense.. Most of the time.....when it's hot, they wish it was cold.....when cold, they want it hot......GO FIGURE!!! AND WITH MUSIC, SAME THOUGHT PROCESS....now, I think GVF is super talented....keep rocking guys

I'm into electric / trance type music and never thought I'd like rock but GVT got me into it for sure.

lmao hater spotted, tbh kids these days cant play like zeppelin so. . . Its just amazing that GVF can even sound abit like LZ

@@twinpumpkin Business*

Twin Pumpkin I want to listen to new bands that are doing cool stuff but can’t find any. Any suggestions?

@@twinpumpkin Minus the Bear is the most underappreciated band in the world. I love GVF but there is some great music being made that the masses dont know about.

Twin Pumpkin thnx for the suggestion. Just listened to bleeding in the blur and i think i like the band.

Hate when people do this. Just put the line here and not a fucking track time!!

MrCanadaBeers Next time i want to do this i’ll think about you. You poor thing

Haha

MrCanadaBeers There is no line you dumbass lmao

This was before Anthem album!! Wow.

Christopher mars - Well spent, those two cents. 😊

Yes absolutely agree with you. I'm 58, have seen a good amount of rock concerts, the greats from the 70's. I see greatness in these kids. They have a keen sense of self, seem to know where their influences come from. Plus they have real talent. Rock on Greta Van Fleet 😉

Totes Awesome Words!

Christopher mars I’m 50. Haven’t given two cents about seeing anyone in concert since I was was younger. Just sprang for GVF tix and will drive almost four hours to see them. Couldn’t be more stoked! I sure hope they’re opening the gates to more great rock.

Im 5120 years old and I definitely agree!

thats bullshit lol music is music and you can listen to it with however much brainpower you want to

And that was the sentence i was looking for

Ben Reese idk if people can see dislikes but Incase u can’t I disliked ur useless comment

You’re dumb as shit if you think you need to be smart to enjoy certain music

I personally thought it was a bit of a pretentious comment to make; to assert that rock music is superior, but unappreciated because it requires a certain amount of brain power that the average consumer is too lazy to tap into. The epitome of "I grew up in the wrong generation". Music is supposed to change over time. Blues/Rock guitar oriented music isn't as big as it used to be and that's not a bad thing at all. It also doesn't mean that people have stopped using their brains.

Foot Lettuce We simply don't see eye to eye on this one then. I believe that I share the opinion of the majority however. If you have a chance -see them live. You may change your mind.

I'm a diehard classic rocker and only this week learned who GVF was...and from what I've seen, these guys are OK and could be around a good while.

Don't be a hater.

Thank you. The voice of reason has arrived!

Veronica Renaker i could not agree more just ordered some of their merch happy to support a band with pure talent and i stress pure if you love the kind of music that is real music you will know why i stressed the word pure i think as Elton john said about them music has come alive and is finally awake after a very long sleep lol

JKVK33 hmmmmm who does Greta van fleet sound like..... southern power chord rock sprinkled with hints of zeppelin and it took the world by storm bc they are talented and the worlds to used to Kanye’s and billies

jared agreed

And now Age of Machine! Awesome song

It's true,doesn't it scare you that the songs that are most popular are mindless?

TheGhjgjgjgjgjg like Gucci gang

Dude is straight preaching

TheSiskoKid58 TheSiskoKid58 If by sounding pretentious then yes he's definitely preaching. Music doesn't require much brain power to understand and "good music" is subjective...

I disagree, the people are somewhat involved but the true killers of good music are the music industries, they realized that great artists cannot be controlled and can have a really big power on people so they started gradually lowering music level until this point where they literally sell you trash as greatness, they know its shit but they also know you will buy it because most people don't care about music as in how complex it is, they just care about how this makes them feel and people who don't understand music can feel almost anything.

same! I love these guys so much

Preach that 🙌

not necessarily why pop is bad, just what pop is missing

That's sad

They probably going to punch you in the face if you say that. As musicians they know music is just not one type of genre only.

Saruman The White Me also

did you find it??

Alondra Bluee sadly no. I think, I HOPE that it’s something that they’re recording for their album

Nick Aquino He always says his insturment is his voice, I don't know it sounds like it might be the piano also!

"It was september, the days.. sitting by the phone"? Thats all I can hear. No known lyrics match via Google. I hope it's a new one-

Love GVF. You should also check out the band Twisted Illusion. They are bringing back the classic rock sound of Rush, Queen, among others. check out their song "No Compromise."

Rock never left. The mega corporate radio whores and music companies just went for empty garbage and pleasing the masses of empty robot morons. The good new bands are all DIY, recording at home, and playing bars.

Rock never left. These guys just sound exactly like Zeppelin and I don't think many other bands are this bold to 100% ripoff someone's sound. I like these guys but I still admit and accept who and what they're doing.

One can only pray rock comes back it’s been shit for like 15 years, not since The White Stripes, Interpol, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Strokes.

konradnoises disagree rock should never be main stream again

In/Vertigo Canada 100%!!! I wish they would just be honest. It’s obvious to everyone including Robert Plant. I love how he dealt with that... he’s the best!

They talk about Led Zeppelin when asked, but why should they talk about it any more than that. They've already got their detractors who say they're just Led Zeppelin wannabes (I'm not one of those, love these guys). Isn't a good sign if they try to get out of Zeppelin's shadow? You don't do that by talking about Zeppelin. You do that by moving forward and just being yourself.

Clay Vernon well, it’s that I think they have been probably less than honest about it. Said they didn’t know Zep till High School. Saying they were influenced from nearly everyone and everything else it seems. Robert Plant knows it’s bs lol. I think it best to say you know Led Zeps been a massive influence, and who else is better?!?! And then, move your sound away from that central influence. It’s common with young bands to to heavily emulate, but it’s not wrong and I don’t think they are a “knock off” they are heavily HEAVILY influenced. Obvious. One thing that can be done on a non musical angle is the stage performance. Take in other qualities to again move away a bit of Zep (especially Robert Plant). But again, they are kids, they can grow into more of their own thing.

Like how vampires can't see themselves in mirrors these guys can't see led zeppelin. It's bad enough that they are a clone band, but to not even mention zep is just laughable.

IMPOSSIBRUUUUUUU!!!!

Jackson Roemers Uh you do know there's a lot of bands that play instruments right?

LOUD Planet Man rock is not dead. There have been some great modern bands, they are just not well known A good play to look for them is Band Camp,great place to look for to some unknown bands

LOUD Planet Look man please don’t defend rap against rock. I’m FULLY aware that Rap has the industry in the palm of their hands (even if I disagree with it). I will say this, I’m guessing your an 18-25 year old male, so you grow up in the 2000s and 2010s listening to rap because that’s what the industry produced, therefore you’ll be listening to rap for the rest of your life because it defined your age group. I’m 19 I was just born listening to rock that’s how it was, so I defend the genre because I have claimed it as my own just as you have claimed rap. Guess what though bro, one day rap is going to die, just as you think Rock has and you will be defending the dead body of rap when some artist breaks through the chains of the industry trying to revive it. This is how it is. So don’t shit on rock all the time just be happy that the music you enjoy is popular. And we’ll keep listening to the few guys that still play rock. Ps: Nirvana brought back rock in the 90s so revivals are not impossible.

Jackson Roemers Uh I don't think rap will die off too. It's been around since the 80s like rock and metal. Now what I do hope is the mumble rap crap will die off so the good rap music can be more well known instead it being underground like the good rock music

Lightning6475 I like you bro you’re reasonable. However, all music kind of dies off, or not dies but changes and evolves. Hard rock these days have taken the form of alternative you have bands like Vampire Weekend morphing genres together like world and reggae, Imagine Dragons who have electronic influences but still rock at its core. In this age where the internet is responsible for a lot of artists success, I guess your right, no music will die, there will always be people mixing genres together because home recording is just so good these days.

So the lesson is listen deeper before comparing them to led zeppelin and rock on.

excelent comment. ..I agreed

Totally. I agree not a 100% on what you said but mostly on what you said. This is a thing I perceived after a time listening to Greta, if u listen to them for first time and you have been listening to Zepp you gonna get that Robert's vibe, but if you keep listening to them and you are a REAL fan of Led Zeppelin you gotta know that there's a REAL difference between Robert and Josh.

Have to disagree, even his on stage mannerisms echo Plant. I dont know if its imitation, or whatever. - however good too hear some good music regardless of who they sound like because there's nothing new under the sun

Kendall Palmatier you gotta try listening to Rival Sons. You might like them.

If you can be a little open-minded, check out Billy Strings. He's heavily influenced by Bluegrass, but the dude is definitely rock n' roll. Super talented. I've been going through that same struggle of finding artists my age, and he's only 25, I think.

Check out the band 'Clutch'!

I'm 11 years old and even though I grew up with modern music, I hate it. I recently discovered Led Zeppelin and they opened my mind to something great. I always get sad knowing their music won't be around in the future. But Greta Van Fleet, a new band, is bringing back the music that is the favorite of many people. It turns out that Led Zeppelin won't be gone after all.

Spotify helped me find quite a lot of modern rock, alternative, rock'n'roll bands like greta van fleet, royal blood, airbourne, badflower, rival sons, grandson, cage the elephant, band of skulls, highly suspect, temperance movement etc etc etc (I could name them endlessly). There are quite many amazing bands out there, you just need to take some effort to find them since they're not all widely known bands. But I agree on the topic of today's popular music, I noticed that a lot of people are getting into genres of pop, r'n'b, rap, which I'm personally not interested in. If I was asked to recognize any of the popular songs of today, I'd probably not know any of them

You are very stupid

Sorry you don't believe in things mate

I believe they really have something here

@@Syfoll not as stupid as you

@@noname.___ fuck off boomer

Noodle Face by the time plant was their age zeppelin had 3 albums out. The lyrics were sophomoric either.

Jimmy Page was 24 on LZ first album. it doesn't really matter man. When people get off those Led Zeppelin comparisons they'll actually start to hear this band for what they are, and honestly today they're a warm welcome.

CoolBuzzTastyWaves robert plant was 22 in 1970. When the band released its third albumn.

CoolBuzzTastyWaves also kind of hard to not do zeppelin comparisons when the singer forces a range to try and sound like plant, copies his stage dress and goes as far to copy all of his stage mannerisms. If they want comparisons to stop they need to stop trying to be another band.

Plant didn't invent that style of singing dude. Steve Marriot did it first and was Roberts big influence. In the world of blues everything is recycled and shared.

Same

Listen to all their songs! Do it! Age of Man is incredible!

Theres only one thing, they're not Led Zeppelin. They never will be and they don't want to be. They're Greta Van Fleet and their story is unique to them. I think they will shock the music world or dare i say, continue to shock the music world.

They are fine. This is just the beginning. Why does everyone have to hate great rock. We have been begging for a great band.

There hasn't been great rock in the forefront for nearly 30 years. Metal is stale and Alt rock is dry. Time to shake things up a bit.

they suck ...Led Zeppelin rules ...there are no questions...

HOLY SHIT hahahahahahahah just listened to your song on your page Mosi and its fucking TERRIBLE haha loving this

BASSically. They were making a pun ;)

Only because Jeep is the only new car company that still makes cars that looks like a car; simply because a Jeep is only a box. But they're starting to even mess that up! lol

MrHamsangwich LoL

He's saying they make car commercial music

Best comment 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Atari-Dude 1 lol says the one guy who has never owned a jeep. Hahaha I own a Big Bear Jeep Wrangler 2017 BRAND NEW bought last year and I get heads turning all the time. Fuel efficient with terrain wheels, its fucken bad ass. When you have people who pull up in luxury trucks and they look over you know your shit is BAD ASS! So your garbage spill on jeep is totally stupid.

Halloween Jack95 Other way around, they have at least 2 songs that have their own sounds, the rest just sounds like Zeppelin

i agree with you and what riffs are they stealing people need to specify, because im not hearing it, only the organ in flower power maybe.

Revin Magee Nobody is stating they stole riffs, but the way they play and how they sound really just sounds like Zeppelin And that's fine, every band has their influenced. But they really need to take their Zeppelin influence and use it to create their own sound, not bring back one that's already been use.

Their biggest hit is a ripoff of Zep's The Rover

I agree 100%, but nobody else wants to see it. After listening to the album a bunch of times, the only two songs that sound like lz are safari song and highway tune, the rest of em just don’t.

I've been waiting since the 90s.

There's always good music out there

True, but I want it to be mainstream again.

Gencaps Noises There have ALWAYS been great music, you just gotta look for it

if you quit whining and actually started looking for good music youd find that there is plenty of good music from the 2000s and 2010s. but why do that when you can bitch about it on the internet?

He also plays the drums🥰

@@kiera5870 super cool dude, right?

you cant stop the train of evolution, baby. theyre just going back to old styles and techniques

ditto to ben, it evolved into the ramones, the strokes, the white stripes...it fractured into different subdivisions. it was never silent. I'm not putting gvf down, but you have admit (to use your analogy) that they're grasping a torch that's already been grasped, and instead of making use of the innovations made to the genre since the 70s they've just decided to start at the beginning. again, not totally a put down, but there is a huge difference between their vibe in the highway tune music video (there was a little punk there, a little beastie boys even maybe?) and in when the curtain falls and their newest album when they decided to just completely fall back in time to the 60s

@@EliteWhiteNinja You can when you remove instruments.

@@spotsoftea That's not rock, though. It's Prog. It's like saying Rock evolved from the Beatles into Oasis. Zep is on an entirely different branch.

Emilio Idiot No, Zeppelin had real influences. These guys just took Zeppelin's sound. Zeppelin never ripped off music. Only idiots think they did.

+ Emilio Idiot, Agreed. Every rock band or singer has been influenced or stole something from another musician. That's how the music business works. At least they are playing their own instruments and doing their own vocals instead of singing to a drum, bass, guitar track that has already been put down and then sung over with autotune like all of today's pop music. Lets see where these boys go before passing judgement to quick.

Apollo Alexandre "Zeppelin never ripped of music", lol are you out of your mind? There's a whole wikipedia article for songs adapted by led zeppelin^^ They copied A LOT but knew how to make something unique out of it that fits their style and sells. Made good music for sure!

I love Zeppelin as much as anyone else but to say they never ripped anyone off is delusional. Robert Plant sang just like Steve Marriott from the Small Faces, especially in the early days. Listen to this - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tp0jZ4BGuDw.html

Lightnings Do you really think you're gonna tell me anything new about Led Zeppelin and their music? Yes, there is an article, containing 20 songs, and 18 of them have no business being there, because they were traditionals, or correctly credited covers, or bear some minor resemblance to another song. And the two that should be there were just blues influnced, to the degree that they used expressions from the blues, while the music was entirely original. Maybe you should know what you're talking about, before you speak.

D o you think they didnt make it yet?

they are selling out shows all over the world and touring with big name bands so yeah I think they made it.

They easily made it. If you got at least 1 million scrobbles on Spotify for plenty of your songs that's a sign that you've made it.

coachella didn't do it for ya?

I just love the fact they all are from frankenmuth, mi. 15 minutes from where I live.

Just Believe Bath n Body Crystal McArthur - For a sec I thought you were writing Queen lyrics. LOL.

what is the name of the song?😫

What song is it I NEED to know

Jorge C. Except they're not doing anything new at the moment. Yes they are very talented and have the potential to change the music game, but right now they're a 70s rock nostalgia trip, nothing new or original

Exactly man!!😂 These guys are my age and I hate it when I hear dumb middle schoolers walking down the street with their speakers blasting that lame ass, emotionless rap bullshit.

Iroc lol

Lol !!!!! I was totally thinking the same thing!

Matthew Peacock we shouldn’t insult someone to compliment someone else.

Because they are brainwashed! GVF appear to b free thinkers! Beyoncé admits another soul or person comes out of her when she performs; even has a name for this alter identity! So she sold her soul for her fame and glory or she is a complete whack job! U can pick one or both! And side comment to ur antagonist “we shouldn’t tear one down to raise another” Uhm yeah they obviously have NOT listened to the words she utters (@ the freakin Super Bowl) Total Black Panthered supporting the BLM when ALL lives matter, especially the cops that put their lives on the line everyday & wait I m not done,,,When she can uttter the words about killin all the white alligators no doubt meaning all white people, she needs to go perform at a Walmart parking lot cuz she sure speaks Walmart! I don’t condone any racist rifts but Damn U r not too bright cause if u like those type of lyrics, U r part of The Problem not the Solution! In the immortal words of Elvis Costello: “What’s so wrong with peace, love, & understanding.”

Dude someone explain to me this band is such a big deal does no one like zeppelin ?

MrEdwardBloom lol he didn’t put Beyoncé down at all... he asked why all the people attending Coachella were only going crazy over B when a great bad like this was there... it’s more of a knock at the culture and not B

@@roknrobn314 seriously? its 2019 dude, leave the stupid theories about the devil in the past where they belong
