Greta Van Fleet "Highway Tune" Love This Song! REACTION & BREAKDOWN by Modern Life for the 70s Mind

This song takes me back to the 70s. I pretty much fell in love with this song from the first note. You MUST check this one out. Great band!
Welcome to my “Modern Life for the 70's Mind” KZbin Channel. On this channel, I not only take a look at the songs and history that made us who we are today, but also introduce you to today's modern music as well. Any songs that combine the two are always a winner. I've always loved music and have always tried to keep a balance between the classic music I fell in love with and today's MUCH DIFFERENT sounds. Here's we'll analyze both. We’ll even take some time and revisit some of the old parts of our past that have disappeared from today’s shelves and most people’s memories, I call it Bob's Cabinet of Curiosity. Let’s relive those moments together! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking time out of your day to check in. I appreciate it more than I can say here.

that smile and realization of hearing this music, this band... !!!!

[@rebeccathomason5004]

The battle at gardens gate is the newest album and is fantastic! Stardust Chords is my pick. Love this band! Yes they write all their songs. The singer writes the lyrics. The singer and guitarist are identical twins and bassist is a younger brother with the drummer a school friend. They started in high school from Frankenmuth MI. Around 2012.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Rebecca. Thanks for that. Great to hear that these guys also write their music. Makes it that much better. Looking forward to reacting to more of theirs....soon! ;) Thanks for listening.

[@chriso6719]

Welcome Back, glad to hear you got the clean bill of health. Love the Halestorm intro. First time I heard this debut single on the radio, I thought it was Zeppelin at first. Yes, they are kids, 21 and 18 when this was released in 2017. Three of the 4 are brothers, twins Josh(vocals), and Jake(guitar), and younger brother Sam (bass/keyboards). They are on tour now , and will be one of the opening bands when Metallica plays here (Highmark stadium, Buffalo Bills home) in August. If you want another , try When the Curtain Falls.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Wow, opening for Metallica is pretty impressive. Glad to see that they're moving forward. Will be reacting to more of theirs, for sure. REALLY glad to be back.

[@babydoll8714]

Great reaction! I love this group! I look at it this way. I like that they sound like Led Zeppelin! We get new music with the Led Zeppelin sound. My first real band experience was Led Zeppelin and to see that music continue after 35+ years is awesome! I love their newer sound also!

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Yes, it's odd that old sounding music actually feels refreshing!

[@randallstackhouse5300]

I'm 61 and really enjoy Gretta van Fleet. It's nice to hear young guys playing my type of music. Listen to some more of their music. They definitely have their own sound. Every band builds on the foundation of those that came before them. I can hear Led Zeppelin/Rush and a few more influences of the past Legends in their music. Great reaction! I'm a new subscriber from Vancouver BC Canada.

[@joshkiszka1547]

Write their own songs - you chose one of their first songs - recorded 5 years ago. They’ve evolved already. Do a GVF song every week.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I have instantly fallen in love with this band! I will definitely be doing some more. I didn't realize that this was that old. Probably should have paid more attention. Ha. More to come!

[@joshkiszka1547]

Can’t wait!

[@tugglesthe1st85]

[@sreneethomas]

Their latest album is really amazing. They have absolutely evolved into their own talented sound. They were just so young on this first album, they were just playing music that sounded like what music inspired them!

Josh is that you lol

[@juliemanarin4127]

This is the ONLY newer band I listen to!! I just got back from a trip to Frankenmuth!

[@stevetanner3019]

When they did this video they were ages 18 to 21. 3 brothers and drummer friend. They won a Grammy in 2019.

[@El-ingobernable]

i highly suggest checking out "Black Smoke Rising" and "Safari Song" from the same EP and their version of Sam Cooke's "A Chance Is Gonna Come" Also, "When The Curtain Falls" & from their newest album "Heat Above" - "Broken Bells" - "Age of Machine" - "Light My Love" - "The Weight of Dreams"

[@nosaltpillar4188]

Imagine waking up one day and realizing that your singing voice sounds exactly like one of the most iconic vocalists in all of history!!!! I thought someone had found some long lost Led Zeppelin tracks when I first heard this a few years ago!!!!

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

LOL. Very true! Amazing voice, but I hope they find their own path.

[@ChantelLynn95]

Definitely listen to Light My Love or Broken Bells. Especially the live candlelight sessions. He is just as amazing live.

[@purpleswallowpotterybychey9973]

It's all amazing! They've really came into their own in their newest album Battle at the Gardens Gate, specifically Weight of Dreams. The 4 minute guitar solo is crazy

[@catmiuuu]

Please react to Heat Above! I feel like you’re gonna love it

[@natalieburnham3300]

This kids are bringing back what i feel has been missing from the music scene of today. There amazeing its new but old sounding you know.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I agree. There is definitely a void that these guys can fill...and it looks like they're doing it.

[@bassmanjohn7237]

Omg you are in for a ride with GVF! They have matured beyond their years. Josh Kiska has an amazing voice! Keep going down the rabbit hole...I recommend BUILT BY NATIONS. 😎

[@johnpitera9926]

You have to see them live when they come to your area. One of the best concerts I have ever seen and I'm 63. Their new album is amazing. You have a new subscriber

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

I would love to. I'm not far from Michigan, so it should be all that difficult to see them at some point. They're definitely on my list along with The Warning.

[@colomboricua]

Frankenmuth represent! Michigan represent!

[@johndeaconismymom.4132]

The drummer and bassist were 19 in this video and the singer and guitarist were 21. also the bassist singer and guitarist are brothers. guitarist and singer are twins

[@bluegrassreb]

They have the same influences as Zep and people think they sound like Zep not realizing how Zep took so much of their inspiration from the blues. Ive seen them live twice, once opening for METALLICA. They are the real deal, in a world of horrible music, they are MOST WELCOME!

[@Geralt26]

I knew this song and love it. It is like reincarnation older rock and roll times. And the song is really good.

[@thehighcouncil662]

Go listen to their new album. Imagine a hybrid of Zeppelin/Rush/Deep Purple/Pink Floyd mixed with a modern tweak and mastering. If you don't leave listening to the biggest smile ever, I'd be shocked.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi. I've already got two other songs of theirs on the list to react to based on customer requests. Looking forward to hearing more.

[@jerrylarocque9600]

Welcome back, Bob. The song definitely has a 70s feel to it mainly because ot the Zeppelin influence. My go to driving song back in the day was Steppenwolf's Born to be Wild.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hey Jerry. Oh, I loved that song. I had Steppenwolf Live constantly playing in my car. The combo of Hey Lawdy Mama and Magic Carpet Ride mixing into each other was the best!

[@connormichalowski8866]

I would never call him gem a cover band; seeing them live was awesome

[@roseblair5273]

They were 17 or 18 for this song. Review something from their newer music. All very talented kids. I can call them kids because I am 70 and love them. Listen to Heat above or Lover leaver or Broken bells or When the curtain falls. Very versatile.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi Rose. Nice name...(also my wife's name). Sure, I'm due for another reaction on them, so I'll try to make it a new one. Appreciate the listen.

[@roseblair5273]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind thx I am just appreciating someone listening to them, not just say they r zeppelin clone s. Also love Disturbed, Dirty Honey, Dorothy, Plush. Ghost, Shine down, Pretty reckless and Rival sons. Many bands that go old school music while remaining fresh and new.

[@Rayervin711]

First time in your channel and I really enjoyed your reaction and humor! Congrats on your good health, by the way :) To answer your question, Greta Van Fleet does write all their own music. I would highly recommened checking out their latest album, The Battle at Gardens Gate, released in 2021. They've matured in their sound since the first album in 2017 and have made more of their own sound. "Light my Love" and "Barbarians" are probably my two favorites. "Trip the light fantastic" is amazing as well and has a likeness to Rush. But hell, who am I kidding...every track is great. Hope you enjoy more GVF and post more reactions to them in the future!

[@olafwiese6728]

Hi Bob, I'm glad you're back on board and doing well. In the good old days, the guitar solos were longer. 😁 Have a nice day and Greetings from Germany (After two days with partly severe storms, it has cooled down significantly. 30°C --> 15°C)

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi. It looks like the bad weather is here as well. We had Tornado Warning Sirens going off yesterday afternoon. Sky was black! Everything ended up ok though. YES, I loved long guitar solos....Teg Nugent comes to mind (Stranglehold). :)

Glad you enjoyed it so much! I'll just get in line with, "It's got a nice beat and it's easy to dance to. If I could still dance like that. lol

I really need to react to another one from them soon.

[@kimberlybain9143]

This was the first song the band wrote together and recorded. Pretty sure they were teens when they wrote this. I think they're great.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Hi Kim. Really? I had never heard that. I'm heading off to their town in MI this weekend for a craft show. Maybe they'll be playing! LOL

[@kimberlybain9143]

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind That would be lucky! Glad you got your skin checked. Happy you made the PSA for skin check-ups. My 33-year-old daughter died in July 2021 from metastatic melanoma. Skin check-ups are vital. My daughter is who turned me on to GVF. I raised her on classic '60s '70s music. We have an appreciation for raw musical talent, like in our day! No autotune, etc.

[@Earman54music]

Glad you are back! If you want to hear young people making great rock and roll please try "The Warning". They are a power rock trio, three sisters from Mexico that really put it down. Try their newest release called Money and go from there. I know you will love them.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Yes, already have them on my short list. I've received a number of requests for them. Looking forward to hearing a few. Thanks again for the listen.

[@KingdomsKeys]

They do write their own material. Some of the better rock songs they've put out that are Zeppelinisk are: When the Curtain Falls, Safari Song, Flower Power, Black Smoke Rising, You're the One, & Lover, Leaver (Taker, Believer). Initially they did come off sounding a lot like LZ and that's not a bad thing when done right. As they've developed though, they've grown into a style of their own and do have tones of Getty Lee & Freddie Mercury, and Brian Johnson (AC/DC) You would also probably like a band called the Rival Sons who have that blues/rock 60s & 70s sound as well.

[@sherriemihelitch9669]

[@sandifulmor8327]

They wrote this when the twins were 14 yrs old!

[@syrius1]

Old School Rock and Roll y heading back, both Greta Van Fleet and The Warning are from Lava Records and some other good bands, so they must have been doing something right, don’t you think?

[@lewisner]

Their parents raised them on a diet of 70s rock including LZ , the Who etc and it shows.

I prefer RIVAL SONS and i would suggest "pressure and time" for beginning. Jimmy Page approved band!

@@ModernLifeForThe70sMind thank you as well. Greetings from Greece :)

[@billzimmerman5464]

The singer for Rival Sons reminds me a lot of Paul Rogers and Bad Company. Different from GVF or for that matter Zeppelin. GVF new album is a huge progression into their own music from Highway Tune. Skin cancer is no joke, I've had surgery for melanoma last year.

[@ninostavric4547]

Only 15

[@___Guilherme___]

They are not Led Zeppelin. The crowd you're a part of keeps saying that and ends up pushing the boys to "sound less" with Zeppelin. What nonsense to do that. To me they can sound like Zeppelin how much they want.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

First off thanks for the listen. Secondly, I'm not part of any "crowd". If you're trying to deny that they sounded like Zeppelin in this song, well, I disagree. I really liked these guys a lot so I'm not quite sure why you're coming down on me as hard as you are. I guess everyone has a different ear. Again, I do appreciate the listen. Have a great day.

[@donnakerns6737]

Just checked to see if you have since bothered to look/listen to newer Grata Van Fleet recordings -just to answer some of your own question about their progression since this 5 year old release. We die hard GVF fans know the answers but, the premise of this type of channel is to bring 'new thoughts/ideas' about music out there to your viewers. Premiering a video that is 5 years old and speculating on their future when it's already happened is unfair to people who came to hear your review on a band they don't know. Seems like it's just a way to keep the now out of date Zeplin comparison alive and an easy review to say the same old things from the past. Lots of people gave you other options and update info about the band in the comments so, I really wanted to see an updated review of them and was kind of disappointed -so won't be subscribing.

[@ModernLifeForThe70sMind]

Sorry Donna. I get literally "hundreds" of requests and it gets difficult/impossible to get to each and every one. They are still on the list and I will get to them again. Your negative and defensive tones are really unnecessary though, Donna, especially since I enjoyed them so much and gave them a positive review. I'm not sure how you expect me to nail every point and detail about this band when I've literally only heard one song from them and really knew next to nothing about them. I'm also not quite sure why you're so defensive when it comes to this band, but your curt comments directed towards me just aren't necessary. I do my best on these reactions, but please remember that I do this for FUN. Unfortunately, it takes some of the fun out of what I do here when people like you take things personally and toss out negative or degrading comments that just aren't necessary. Yes, I will get to another of theirs. Sorry you won't be subscribing, but I guess that's the way it goes. I hope you have a good day...and smile.
