I've been following Greta for a while, since before this song broke out for them. Lots of controversy about their sound because of the lead singer's voice sounding a little like Robert Plant at times. But they are solid musicians and their roots are in Blues because their dad performs as well. He has performed with the boys in concert. Three bothers and their best friend is the drummer. Jake, the guitarist, does this well when performing it live.

the lead singer's voice sounding a LITTLE like Robert Plant???? LOL

[@headrushindi]

They sound just as incredible live.. Jake's technique is very reminiscent of the 70's guitar style in bands where there was only one guitarist , bass, drums and vocals. Jake probably layered the guitar in studio just like Brian May from Queen did VERY well, and Very Often. but his style is often a mixture of rhythm and flat picking all at the same time ...very Vintage . I don't give a damn if they sound like Led Zeppelin...this is a much needed breath of fresh air in rock music today .!!

I don't get why being like Zeppelin is a bad thing. That's like saying, "Wow, you sound like one of the greatest bands ever, gross"

Yes you do. You are proposing a strawman argument here when really you know damn well how it can be detrimental for a band to cross the fine line of being inspired by, into just plain mimicking of another band.

[@bongzilla4172]

I mean, they were literally a cover band. Nothing great about that.

They literally listened to the same bands that influenced LZ, so it’s very understandable why they sound a bit similar. But they are definitely NOT a cover band.

This was the first vid I saw of them as well, thought they had recorded younger guys for the vid, but did more research, and nope that was them. Blew me away. Now I have all their albums, and they're great (...and was supposed to see them earlier this year, but... pandemic, so womp)! The vocalist, guitarist, bassist are brothers. Vocalist has said he had to come up with that way of singing to be louder than his brother on guitar in the garage lol.

I totally love that young people make that kind of music and that people in their age not only have to listen to stuff from other generations. I love the music of both bands. That's not a contest, battle or whatever some people say that stuck with their thoughts in the "good old days" - it is only about good music and it is place for both in our world. Edge of Darkness (live), When the curtain falls (live)

[@loriec6918]

Raw, garage band sound that brings back the essence of the songs I grew up with, but in their own way. I saw Led Zeppelin twice in the 1970’s. I love fresh takes on the powerful energy of times past, with a blues rumble that cannot be denied. I love to dance. This song makes me do it.

[@1947dd]

Alright, it the spirit of this musical sound, I have to say this was "One Groovy Tune" and they are a pretty "Rad" band. But in all seriousness, I like the old school sound/vibe and will be checking out some more of their stuff. Nice reaction Chase and I must say that I had some similar thoughts, but you put it into better words then I could.

I seen these guys live at the last Carolina Rebellion in 2018. I thought they sounded better live than their studio recording. I wish they would have had a longer time slot at Carolina Rebellion. Considering they were just breaking out, I can understand their short time slot on one of the two main stages.

[@LynetteHerbrink]

Saw Greta last year at rock werchter festival and they were playing the subheading spot before Muse. Their vocals and instrumentals were tight af, but they weren't ready for that spot on the bill. They had to fill an hour and a half timeslot with 10 songs so they drew all of em out into eternity and the crowd wasn't into it, they were just waiting for Muse so that was a bit of a letdown! Would love to see them again at a more suitable festivalspot or a more intimate setting just to see how they fare then:)

[@carrickglover9777]

So, I read a little about this group when they first came out. Three brothers and a close family friend (drummer). Singer found his voice one day at a practice session when he had to yell/scream over the band because they were so loud... surprised himself and the band. I also read that during an interview with Robert Plant he was asked What he thought about Greta Van Fleet, I don't know the actual quote, but he said something like the singer has borrowed a voice from someone I know very, very well and yeah I hate him.LOL

[@elbraymundo]

I don't think there's a music video for it, but their cover of A Change is Gonna Come is AWESOME.

[@yinxed]

im not surprised GVF found its way to your YT. Awsome content mate. Im here to vote for you to react to Rodrigo y Gabriela from Mexico.

[@AycliffeGardens]

Their live stuff is more instrument orientated but I think you'd find that in some of their other songs. All of the band members are given a chance to show off in parts of the set. There are, perhaps, some solos which are too long (2-3 minutes) but everyone in the crowd seems to love it because the lead guitarist and bassist can play their socks off. Vocals hold up too, especially when belting it, I think his voice gets a bit fried at times towards the very edge of his range, but I tend to see them towards the end of a tour. Seen them three times now in London in different sized venues, and I think at a festival (Download?). Hope I get to see them again soon, crowd is always full of leather jacket-ed dads with their sons bridging generations, great vibe.

[@dandeakins4542]

"Did this band swallow Led Zeppelin..." 😂 It's what everyone says but it's so accurate. I was a bit disappointed by their new album (not very adventurous - very template classic rock) but do check out When the Curtain Falls and Lover, Leaver, Taker, Believer from it. Rival Sons are an example I'd give of a contemporary band making the classic rock sound their own (I'd recommend Too Bad off their new album).

[@jeffcrim4347]

Someone was interviewing Robert Plant and he was asked if he knew of any new up and coming bands. He mentioned "there is this band from Detroit Michigan called Greta Van Fleet. They are said to be influenced by Areosmith, but I don't know." The Led Zeppelin comparison has been made early on.

[@VicTheMetalDrummer]

Saw them opening Rock Im Park in 2018, and they were pretty good. Wasn't as much of a fan then as I am now, sadly, but if they ever come over to my city in Mexico, I'm definitely going to see them. Partly because I want to, partly because I made a friend since then who's favorite band is Greta Van Fleet, and she's insisted many times that whenever they visit, we'll be front row.

[@JDsHouseofHobbies]

I remember there was a video "Top Ten Bands for People Who Love Led Zeppelin" GVF was one and Rival Sons was the other that I ca recall offhand.

[@shawnski001]
