[@ciri151]

I really don't give a fuck if they sound like zeppelin. Because they create their own original songs!! And I truly believe they are the start of something great. I sure as hell got allot more motivated to play guitar even more. Before I discovered GVF I always had this thought in the back of my mind, like there's no point in getting better at guitar because nobody gives a fuck anyway.. but this gives me hope.

[@Hunterend07]

If they don't change their sound they will not be something great that's for sure. I wish they could bring back rock to the popular scene but it is not by doing basically the same thing someone else did 50 years ago that this will happen. GVF are very talented and should use this to sound like GVF. Also on a side note I think that Zeppelin had more depth in their song like how Jimmy Page involved the occult in his song writting and his live performances. Also if you play guitar just to show off in front of people well it's useless. Play guitar because you like it, not because it is something trendy

[@thisisgeorge2117]

Hunterend07 this is very true. And they aren’t “the start” there are other Rock N Roll bands out there, people just aren’t looking for it. I have a running list of current artists because for me Rock N Roll is the top of the heap. It lives on and these guys can be a part of it. They absolutely must work to move left or right of the Zep sound.

[@ciri151]

This is George what I meant with the "start" is they're the first to really get recognized.

[@thisisgeorge2117]

Slash Le Pew well, we have others like The Rival Sons (been going for a while now), Sweden has a whole crap ton of Rock N Roll going on and has for a while too. I could make a list here, but my point is these guys are VERY talented and I think as long as they push more into what they have brewing on a track like black smoke rising which pushes off the Zep vibe a bit more, they will carve out their special place. But I want to make sure he other great RockN Roll musicians get attention! Long live Rock!

[@ciri151]

This is George I looked up rival sons. They lean more towards modern rock imo. Not my cup of tea.

[@IrisAsuras]

They are popular, because finally a band has captured that Zeppelin feel in their music. So many tried and failed.

Yeah.... it's the blues connection helping drive this thing.

[@GoldberryVideos]

They are young and they're developing Led Zeppelins unique sound.

[@ChaseMeTV]

Similar to Led Zeppelins rise, bands are gonna be influenced and sound like other bands. It is how it works. GVF is most definitely developing a unique sound. Can tell as more and more music comes out. Get off your high horse and start appreciating the music being made.

[@GoldberryVideos]

So if people don't agree with your taste in music they are suddenly 'wrong' and 'on a high horse'? Led Zeppelin rose to fame because they did not sound like anything that came before! Play some of the old blues records that Page and Plant loved to listen too and see if you can find any of them that sound as similar to Zep as GvF does to Zep. They sound a lot like Led Zeppelin and you know it. I don't say that there is anything wrong with that, i'm merely stating that that is the reason for a lot of people (including me) to not find them as special as people are saying they are. And thats just an opinion, so please explain to everyone why we are all on 'high horses' for disliking GvF because they (in our eyes) don't bring anything new to the table.

[@ChaseMeTV]

Led Zeppelin did sound like bands that came before. They were heavily influenced and were constantly called for "ripping off" others in the beginning. Such as Janis Joplin. Plant was very obviously heavily influenced by her stage mannerisms. Point is influences aren't a bad thing, and shit, Zeppelin is a damn good thing to sound like. They are still young and developing, yet to even release an album. They are extremely talented and are making great music and are still young. If you find them far less special because they sound like Zeppelin, that's a bit confusing to me. All bands sound similar to another band somewhere. In a lot of the music GVF sounds like Rush and many others. People over-analyze shit too much, if it's good music, it's good fucking music. Also, to say they aren't bringing anything new to the table.....who else is making this kind of music in today's world? No one. They are making new god damn music. People are on their high horses for hating on GVF only for sounding like Zep, because Zep DID THE SAME THING. Very simple. Just appreciate good music when it finally comes around.

Being a 50+ dude and favorite band ever being "That Band" whose name i shall not mention, i have to say i love these guys. The music brings back the memories of some classics and freeking evolves into something fresh and so damn welcome! Awesome music!

[@chandlercathey9570]

Anyone notice how when they started talking about flower power, that song came on???

[@tomstestkitchen]

Love the sound, ordered their latest album on vinyl!

[@jrs3199]

This band is a breath of fresh air. The fact that they do sound like Zeppelin is a blessing, being as Zep wont make any new music.. As far as "copying" goes, thats pretty hypocritical since like a quarter of Leds material are covers to begin with. Appreciate the music & quite being critiques, this isnt fucking Rolling Stone.

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Yo, well said!

[@johnnyplatis]

You spoke in wisdom brother. So much BS towards those boys, it has to stop.

[@sithebugguy3193]

you know how you like a certain talented well known actor and then a stand up comedian impersonates that actor and it makes you love that comedian for it. It's because the comedian isn't trying to be that actor...it's just a comedic bit. thats cool. but these guys are just imitating zep and trying to take credit for being just as naturally talented. also, any music similarities with zep's past were obviously coincidence since they wrote a bazillion other gnarly original tunes. this bad doesn't deserve notoriety on talent. all Im saying is they change their name to the "sons of z" and it's all good w/me.

[@adell1453]

So happy rock is coming back!! I was a teenager in the 70s and miss the music from that decade. GVF writes amazing songs. Josh's voice is amazing and totally his own. Comparisons to Zep, yeah I get it but GVF really have their own sound. I went to a Foo Fighter concert and the opening band is great too. The Struts, check out the song Kiss This. GVF thank you for being such an amazing band, this hippie is very happy.😊😊

[@Dudemar0]

Ok I have no problem with you sounding like them but AT LEAST GIVE ZEPPELIN THE CREDIT

[@melodiehale620]

Love these guys! I listen to them all the time! And I’m an almost64 yr old grandma!

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

ROCK ON!

[@metalinyourhead3604]

Their one of very few genuine rock bands who just so happen to have a singer who sounds like Robert Plant. Not unheard of for some singers to sound similar. Enjoy the music and shut up.

[@2209009pm]

These guys are bringing back what’s been missing in rock and roll for too many years. If you don’t like them, shut up and don’t listen, but I’m staying tuned in. Rock on Greta Van Fleet!

[@jimb993]

These interviewers couldn't get names/instruments right.. don't really let them talk much either. Come on man!

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Haha- we're not 'Pros'...effing it up is part of our charm!

[@0713mas]

Need more throwback bands like this! As far as them using Zepplin as a model or a template of course they did, doubt it was a plan from the start though. I think more it seems more likely that they tend to fall toward the rock n roll and folk n blues grooves from a lot of bands and it just so happens to materialize in an earls court kinda way!

[@shawnajesse6593]

the singer looks and reminds me of a young Roger Daltrey

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Ya think, Shawna?

[@roybond1251]

shawna jesse reminds me of mike reno from loverboy lol at least in looks but dam he can sing like a mutha !! Awesome band

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Haha, never saw that comparison!

[@anthonysclafani3963]

*Robert Plant

[@johnpoff7792]

Dont give him any ideas. Next they will release an album that sounds exactly like Tommy

[@RyTheFly]

I just discovered these guys the past month on the radio. I immediately thought Zeppelin as well, but I hope they grow more into themselves on the next album or release of songs. Good stuff regardless, very talented! Makes me happy knowing they're from a small town in Michigan like myself.

[@davidaparicio8080]

Just wait till Ozzy hears about this and how he tore into Kingdomcome. Remember kids???

[@gregorytoddsmith9744]

Somewhat Zepesque. Very cool. Great to hear these young guys rockin it old school.

[@mandygraham6241]

So many great songs and they're total babes! I'm sold, take my $$$

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Haha~ nice!

[@Charliegirl2]

I love Highway Tune I had to look it up to see who sings it. Sure they are in their way. So good to hear new rock music.

[@Ktalks100]

Nobody picks out the Weeknd for sounding like Michael Jackson. This band must be given the same respect The Weeknd gets.

[@thebigshuck79]

What are you talking about?? The weekend gets referenced as Mike Jackson all the time!

[@Ktalks100]

Yes but the Weeknd is not being made to suffer for the fact he sounds like Michael Jackson, but these guys are getting 'called out' for sounding like LZ and the term 'called out' carries a negative connotation and is associated with negative criticism. That is the very first thing you see with this KZbin video are those words 'called out' in large letters, which then serves to influence the viewer, at the very outset in a negative way towards GVF. Just remember a lot of people will only look at that headline and nothing else.You have to be very careful how things are phrased because the world is watching and making decisions and it has impact on this highly talented young band. The thought that went into that headline was machiavellian as in the actual interview the guy says they should 'embrace it'. when referring to the fact they sound like LZ.

[@titanayrum]

Ktalks look, the world ain't fair, but that doesn't change the fact that they sound a lot like Led Zep, like the interviewer said, just embrace it

[@BX0207]

Cause any pop singer can be Michael Jackson and the pop singer thing..besides they ALL sound alike..But there will always and only be one Led Zeppelin...and they cant be reproduced.. They sound like nothing else but Zeppelin. Even the music playing in the background you think its Plant singing and Page playing his riffs... if you didn't know it was them..

[@titanayrum]

@@BX0207 are you being satirical? I'm not sure. But I think you're saying that Greta SOunds basically just like Led Zeppelin... correct me if i'm wrong.

[@maddyotter5759]

You should interview these fellas again! I’d love to hear more from them

[@angeedsluder77]

Also, totally jealous of all the people who get to see them in concert!

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

No doubt!

[@ballinglikechoji]

Angela Sluder I see the at the 9:30 club in DC in a few weeks! I'll drink one for you haha

[@jeffbouldin]

It was amazing.

[@MonstrosityFFA]

Angela Sluder saw em last night! They’re badass! Such powerful stage presence & the sound is exactly if not better than their recordings.

[@noname.___]

Same

[@darrengillesdarrengilles8336]

I am 56 and I woke up for work this morning with the highway song buzzing in my head from the night before, funny how music can do that, I think the most notable trait of these young guys and their music is their ability to rekindle a long dwindled adrenal rush music used to give me. Consider I lived through the British invasion and listened to the birth and development of the biggest bands ever to blaze trails into all our lives. What is cool is that Led Zeppelin rose to fame at a time when the world was ready for them and they were not hindered with familiarity and saturation of the genera they would eventually posses , in other words they were not hindered by some of the hurdles GVF has had to overcome , all this music has been done before and done to death for decades , the fact that these guys are catching on so quickly despite that, is testament to just how talented they are , the cohesiveness of their sound the lyrics melodies tempo timing beat inflections and blazing stunningly unique vocals by Josh are what make GVF able to bulldoze through a jaded audience deadened by decades of musical mediocrity and ignite the excitement in people garnishing reactions such as the ones on this blog, to simply say as some have that GVF is reminiscent of Led Zeppelin and that is their appeal is crushingly marginalizing , my God listen to the acoustic version of Black Smoke Rising, Edge of Darkness OMG these are genuinely masterful songwriters singers and musicians. These guys are on fire and I can’t wait to hear what comes next. I still remember how it felt when I got my first Zeppelin, Stones , Floyd LP and so many other monster talents, the only reason I can remember , and I am being completely sincere in saying this , is that after listening to this entire track , for the first time in decades I felt it again I want to have all my friends over and crank this cool new album buy this new band Greta Van Fleet in its unstoppable infancy and we will all play air guitar and get buzzed laugh and not give a fuck about anything because the music is doing the talking and pulled us all out of our heads to let us live in the moment, that's some serious spiritual currency . Peace Everybody,,,,,, Darren.

[@Theo-hc5ob]

JESUS, Mary and Joseph, Turn the Music off: We know it, we love it, but it is hard to hear them on facetime while it's playing

[@DavidCrites07]

Theo 80126 no kidding, it’s pointless trying to talk over the music playing.

[@Purpl3Ba3]

Interview rule number one: study the talent and know their frickin names!!! Nothing disrespects a person more than someone who interviews them and doesn't even know their name!!!! For Future: Sam (♥️ my fav) plays the Bass/Keys, Josh sings Vocals, Jake plays the Electric/Acoustic Guitar and Danny plays the Drums/Guitar. Learn it, study it, remember it. Okay rant over. It makes me mad as a videographer that has studied news and creating interviews. They deserve all the respect they can get and more.

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Thanks Karen and YES, you are correct. When this video was made, the band was 'brand new'...almost nobody knew who they were. But again Yes...bad on us for being rather ill prepared. Thanks for watching!

[@lottaledformyhead3039]

Mitten Made. Something in the waters here. It's only UP from here now.

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Thanks for watching!

[@thenightfly1602]

As with all bands that have a massive debut record, the test will come to these guys with their upcoming second record. They have a great energy and were steeped in great music (Blues/Rock/Soul), which provides them with a great foundation that should lead them to sustenance and longevity. Their music is of course in the classic blues-rock genre I fell in love with growing up, so at 57 I find it very refreshing to hear this type of great musicianship and songwriting coming back. The fact that they are brothers (3 of the 4) I think bodes well for them, as they seem to get along very well. Very cool situation and I wish them a long career.

[@alanblight9233]

They don’t sound like Zeppelin anyway they sound like a blues based classic rock outfit. Now I like rock so I welcome Greta van Fleet’s contribution.

[@maddyotter5759]

Alan Blight don’t forget the “roll”! ;)

[@Mikesmedia1968]

Big Greta fan. Black smoke rising is my favorite. Flower Power totally captures the 70's rock sound. Can't wait for their first full album.

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

Yes, the title track Black Smoke Rising is one of our faves too!

[@sneakywan]

They're great... but how could that NOT be intentional!!!!

[@wylie40]

Always intriguing how people find it necessary to say they don't like something. If you don't like it then don't listen. Why spend your time and energy? You could spend that same time commenting on something you like and supporting it.

[@octoberthursday9154]

Oh c'mon why can't you just admit it that you like & adore Robert Plant??? don't dilly dally !!! You like LEDZEP.. you kept on pointing out to other influences .. but you can't just mention LEDZEP... ??? Cut the crap!!! Will ya?

[@brentvalleywhag3477]

october thursday it really is inexcusable. People need to stop giving them such a pass

[@ChaseMeTV]

Miserable people

[@jfernsten]

I hear a touch of early Heart in some of they're music as well

[@AviaStancil]

Hey, take a chill pill then come back

[@ccgrey8731]

I have to agree. While they are certainly talented, the singer is heavily borrowing from Robert Plant. Being influenced is fine, they are young, but I would like them better if they evolve more to something of their own. People are saying this is fresh and exciting. To me it's not. The sound I'm sure was fresh and exciting when Led Zeppelin was first on the scene but it's not now. Instead of taking the Zeppelin influence and infusing it into something for today, they are doing an imitation of that. Even their clothes at performances are right out of the 1970's. Almost every one of their songs includes "Mama," as a lyric. Who talks like that in 2018? That is 70's lingo. This is a rather shapeless decade of the 2000's but the 1970's were a longtime ago and have little in common with life now. I was a child in the 70's so I remember that time.

[@stevej1031]

Can't wait to see you guys. Come to the Elgin IL area there are some great venues here and you would be appreciated.

[@YounGun88]

It’s ok to sound like zeppelin guys geez just say the words... L E D Z E P P E L I N and boom done.

[@carysherrill5277]

These young men are very talented I herd their highway song WRIF and was blown away !! Great interview thanks for posting .

[@TwoDoodsReviews]

For sure, thanks Cary!

[@mikemerrill4073]

WRIF Baby! I'm from Michigan's thumb area too.

[@mediatechjohn3088]

Their faces just drop when he brings up influences and the gears start turning on how to best answer. It'd be rad if they just stopped giving interviews.
