Evolution of Greta Van Fleet (2012 - 2022)

I made this video with the purpose of showing the progress that this great band has had over 10 years. One more proof that dreams come true if we set our minds to them. Greta Van Fleet is a band that was founded in 2012 by Jake Kiszka and they have managed to get their own sound

[@saganstephen2929]

One day in 2017 while driving, i heard “the highway tune” on the radio. I thought it was a previously unreleased led zeppelin song. Looked up the band. And been a fan ever since

[@goosedogtransam1020]

Same here. So nostalgic, and then I look them up and they are so young. Mad respect for their talent and for bringing some real rock back to music.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Lmao, I also heard them out of the blue on the radio, and thought "holy shit, a Led Zep song Ive never heard before?!?!" I know it's played out and mentioned so much, but gawd damn you can highy tell they drew way much inspiration from Led Zep. He even stands like Plant while singing on stage. _When he was asked who his biggest influences were during an interview, he mentioned everyone BUT Robert Plant..._ c'mon, man.

[@TheHSIHP]

So you thought it was a Zeppelin song, realized it was a copycat version of Zep, and became a fan. There's no accounting for taste I guess

[@saganstephen2929]

@@TheHSIHP yup. Who cares about my music tastes anyway. I like their songs.

The change from 2016 to 2017 is incredible. Granted, the 2017 clip is a produced/rehearsed video, but still, it's like they became a whole new band.

[@bluecollarbytes7267]

cool, and there's a lot of jealousy from some detractors of this band. They never 'stole' anything. They've been inspired by some of the greatest rock music ever, and so produce their own great rock music, which will in turn inspire new kids coming up.

I discovered them with Safari Song, then You Are the One and then discovered again with Meeting the Master. From that moment on I could not ignore them any longer and I compleately fell in love. I've seen them live in Mantova this year and that was a fantastic experience. You HAVE to see them live, Josh voice is just outstanding and the ability of the band (starting from Josh with the guitar) is enormous. Can't wait to see them again

I can appreciate they're talent. They put on a great live show and it's upbeat. Real rock and roll. GVF are just not for me. I was never into the "flower power/hippie" thing. However, the talent of that era was amazing. I can't and won't put them down. Any group of people that work hard at forming a band deserves respect.
