Greta Van Fleet On Their Third Album 'Starcatcher', Touring With Metallica & More | Billboard News

[@alexatimts]

I’m still not used to seeing them do in-person interviews again, it feels like it’s been so long 😂

[@gayle8153]

They rarely do interviews all together anymore, either, since it’s so difficult for them to find a time when they can all be there. They each have their own pursuits they’re busy with.

[@IndigoCave28]

Um ok. It’s not like they’ve been around for ages. Plenty of time for interviews 😂

[@shellylavigne5913]

Aaaah, the Michigan Marvels are at it again.

[@nickbloom6861]

Would have been nice to see an interview, the editing made me feel like this was more of a siesure than anything else. I mean Jesus, there is a cut almost everything 3 seconds. Almost unwatchable

[@ryanmoore2779]

🤡

[@kpduffy1120]

This band produces really good albums but man seeing them live is WAY WAY better. They are an awesome live band

[@fredwhiteley2368]

For sure I have

[@zachhood5100]

Seen them twice this year and you are 100% correct!

[@brodobaggins9781]

So true. Saw them in Vancouver last year.

[@ryandonnelly4396]

Can’t wait to see them in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 this November!

[@ThicFridge]

Show of a lifetime.

[@wade5307]

That dude can REALLY sing! I know the Robert Plant comparisons are everywhere, but Josh’s voice just soars. I’ve heard very few rock vocalists belt it like he can. I really dig their sound, wish there were more rock acts like them on mainstream radio

[@adamwest3266]

Your rock knowledge is obviously very very limited. Starting in the 50's to the present, every decade has generated incredible rock vocal talent that goes well beyond what he can do. Josh and the band try so hard to immulate those times and bands.

[@catchinglooks]

@@adamwest3266spoken like someone who has clearly never seen the band live. they’re very much their own thing, and josh has one of the best rock voices of all time already. period. you can’t emulate* (there is no such word as “immulate”) that kind of talent. you’re the one whose knowledge is lacking, i’m afraid!

[@pattinsonstaging]

This Album is going to tour so well in the stadiums. The huge sound. Josh getting even louder. We need the harmonies live on The Indigo Streak. I hope the styling and staging is fuller and bolder. Starcatcher is fabulous and Greta should be proud.

[@Footballar09]

I was just the king that when I heard that one! I don’t think I’ve heard harmonies on any other song. His voice doesn’t really need them to support his incredible vocals but it was very nice to hear.

[@beverlythebird5040]

i was at the Starcatcher world tour opening show, and their performance was phenomenal. GVF is only going upward and onward from here

[@u3r2nozy]

I'm not used to seeing them grow up! Found them in 2018.

[@ThicFridge]

It was EXACTLY what I expected and honestly even more. It was such an amazing experience I can’t even really describe it fully.

[@mskcrc]

boomers rejoice

[@rocknrolltears]

I love how Sam is just casually wearing a camera around his neck

[@kvpilots]

I discovered this band in july 2021 (yes, tik tok) and immediately got captivated by their talent, they are a top 3 favorite band of mine of all time. I even saw them in Tucson this year. I am very excited to hear this new album! ❤❤❤

[@billyc6678]

I just got the new cd this Sunday, I can’t stop playing it. It’s so 60’s early 70’s, the kind of music I grew up with as a child. These guys know what they’re doing. 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

[@VictoriaKempPhotos]

Thanks to their parents, it is also the music they grew up with. Great guys, great parents.

[@xXOblivionXx1]

Not sure how to explain it but the way greta talks it's so old school, like a veteran rock and roll staple of the world. Incredible

[@colebushur7219]

*Fourth Album.* And like the last one, it's amazing

[@radioflavia]

TBAGG was released 2021, right after pandemic, so no in person interviews were done at that time. BUT NOW THEY'RE BACK. It feels unreal!

[@AaronRClark]

They are poets. That's why we like them. They know meter and sound and rhythm and words in fun sounds. They are awesome.

[@simply-living8523]

I love this band so much! Starcatcher is absolutely phenomenal I didn’t know how they would get back from the Battle at Garden’s Gate but holy moly everything is just perfection. I’m just so grateful and amused to get a band like this in my generation and I’m so happy I get to see them again live in 4 days!!!

[@carolinelamkey]

love this so much 🤍 listening party wednesday, album release friday, and first show on monday! i. can’t. wait. 🤩 hearing this album live is going to be so incredible, as always.

[@robmannweiler6993]

Have a blast. I am 60 and love,love,love this band! They are incredible live!

[@alfonsolopez7749]

Im 55 years old and I want more from these guys!

[@SamanthaSalas-xo1sg]

Man, This is going to be one kick ass tour and I cant wait to see them again. Such an amazing BAND!!!

[@556andy]

I would too if they weren’t such supporters for lgbtq it’s gonna be a lgbtw cult this coming tour

[@emilybergermann6022]

I’m so excited for more interviews now that the album is about to be out

[@VictoriaKempPhotos]

Albums are thoughtfully arranged, I love that they put their hearts into the albums and the music. It's one thing to listen to random songs, but to really listen to an album beginning to end, is another story. People who download, should try it.

[@HamiltonRb]

Their shows have gotten far more professional and polished in the 4 times I have seen them going back to playing clubs like Rebel in 2018 to arena shows presently. I got to meet 3 of the 4 boys backstage in Toronto, and they come across as very polite, humble and engaging. I wish these kids the best touring with legends like Metallica & Foo Fighters.

[@FredmChoice]

So into this band....a mind blowing musical journey with Greta Van Fleet. Would love to see them live. Thankyou for the theatrics and Music

[@robmannweiler6993]

Go see them live! Incredible!!

[@fredwhiteley2368]

I have seen them three times . They are simply amazing

[@6EndlessNameless9]

U should try a small band called Led Zeppelin too😂

[@teetaunjj7894]

They are such Posers and so fake.... have a clue clown people

[@Badmmajmma]

What a fun interview (as always). So looking forward to hearing the full album.

[@ikadee4923]

Great little interview! Love it how they're all chill...lol! Sam w/ his camera, Josh wearing face make-up. Danny & Jake extra cool cats. Meanwhile...excitement is beyond palpable.

[@kirby6-kg8nj]

I absolutely love this band. They're so, so good.

[@bubbles2642]

beyond excited for this album

[@williamhunt2779]

Saw them last year and seeing them again. Absolute talent!

[@bbbkemp1]

i just love their dynamic so much

[@kristinebarbaree2697]

I’m seeing these guys again in a couple days . I love all their EPs and albums , including Star Catcher

[@TheIndigoStreak]

Seeing them in Nashville on Monday, this is definitely one of their best albums yet!!!!

[@showtime951]

Well, how was the F-ing show? How long a you going to make us wait!

[@l.ellei.sorensen4121]

I love you guys. Ignore everyone. Just produce your music as you feel it is. My HEART is with you!

[@chrisp1355]

I just met their music today. Thrilling!

[@Isabelr2023]

I am planning my whole day that day of just listening to greta

[@chayseyoungg]

most normal they’ve ever been

[@susanyoung6632]

5 mins? Where is the rest of it?

[@austinjohnson4220]

I feel like these guys are time travelers

[@mootheconqueror1965]

They remind me of four English guys in the 70s. I can't think who?

[@aakar88]

@@mootheconqueror1965 That is because they are copying the 4 English guys, nothing original from Van Fleet

[@balancedboys]

Didn't realize how much I missed the live in studio interviews.

[@ladyofthewoods2448]

Danny seems so cool they are maturing I guess

[@susanyoung6632]

Someone here said they don't seem as happy in this interview as they used to. I agree. It could be because they are nervous about the album release. Or maybe Jake and Josh has a disagreement. Or they are just tired.

[@juliawalsh7934]

Kudos to the young lady who is interviewing them. I would have been all star struck. Love seeing these guys in action. The Starcatcher album released on my birthday and I gifted myself all four albums.

[@mohomoho1]

I here Jethro Tull, Led Zeppelin, Rush, Bad Company and others in their music. The music of my teens in the 70's. Well done Greta.

[@chestyvulva]

That dude can SING! ❤

[@Johnnywhamo]

No but he sure can screech. Plant sang, Josh screeches.

[@chestyvulva]

@@Johnnywhamo fair comment lol.

[@Oly1y]

​@Johnnywhamo have you heard plant on later albums?

[@mlsargent51]

It's nice to see someone doing an interview, and actually letting them speak their thoughts, and not trying to overpower them with BS.

[@brianmorrison4330]

These guys are amazing, Starcatcher is a masterpiece.

[@Tityretupatulae]

It really is

[@paigearbuckle4456]

Starcatcher is their 4th album ❤

[@brianmck7363]

Bands that can come out with good albums every several years usually stay together for many years, being 3 brothers and a best friend doesn’t hurt there cause either…🤟

[@benjaminhawthorne1969]

I have been confined to hospitals and rehabilitation centers for the past five (5) years. I thank THE LORD for the internet and YT so that I may enjoy GVF from my laptop computer. Still, I am itching to be free to purchase an excellent sound system headphone, albums, DVDs and concert tickets so that I can FULLY EXPERIENCE the majesty of this band. Don't do hard drugs or too much alcohol gentlemen. Stay safe and produce your beautiful music for decades to come. You've got ALOT of life to live! I wish you the BEST! 😎

[@JasonsGuitarJams]

EXCELLENT ALBUM ! I cant wait to hear it live!! Keep rocking guys!!

[@AndyKraig-np5qj]

Amazing band

They should have done better advertising for this album I think it’s really cool

[@brodobaggins9781]

Favorite band. This band and exclusively to a point helped me through my spiritual awakening. 🙏 i cant thank them more. Every beautiful.

[@hamhead2765]

I want these guys to go huge. 😊

[@emmabobema69]

I would of liked to hear what happened in their lives to make meeting the master sacred the thread etc. This album seems so spiritual and I can't help but think some awakening developed.... Either way it is beautiful in it's entirety!!!!! So gifted!!!!!

[@johnnyknoxville36]

Omg love this band!! Bought time someone made some good music! And brings me back to the 80s to keep up guys ur awesome!

[@CabinEntrance]

Thought it was their 4th album

[@Tityretupatulae]

The fourth album, but the third full length album. The first was an EP

[@CabinEntrance]

Oh yeah

[@leahnibert3849]

I don't understand why some people in the music journalism space are calling this their "third" album. They have four albums. This is their fourth. 1. From the Fires 2. Anthem of a Peaceful Army 3. Battle of Garden's Gate 4. Starcatcher I think if you're going to publish about a band you should know what you're talking about 😂 (and I'm saying this because I've seen this twice now, once in an article commenting on the new album, and this interview's caption/title).

[@user-tu6xc1lh3g]

Agreed! Still looking for an answer as to why they say “third”. I’d almost argue and say this is their “fifth” as they have a live album from their Los Angeles show “Strange Horizons 2021: Live from Los Angeles”

[@leahnibert3849]

@@user-tu6xc1lh3g What! I didn't know about that live album, I wish it was on Spotify 🥺

[@AndyKraig-np5qj]

This band is too amazing for the critics to keep up with. The critics seriously underestimated the God given talent these 4 musicians have. They wanted to write them off as Zeppelin wannabes but they will all eat their words. They sound like Greta Van Fleet and they did something I thought a few years ago would never happen. They revived Rock and Roll. They are innovative songwriters and recaptured the magic this genre once had. I never thought their would ever be a Gen Z rock fan base but because of GVF there is.

[@DmitryChigirin]

the first album was actually an EP

[@BobboFairbro]

great vibe from this band of by (bio or not). and man… vocals 🤯 and band 🔥🔥🔥 force of nature ✨

[@garrettviewegh9028]

I would describe the style of Greta’s new album in one word: Mystical.
