[@brandongomez6786]

I think we can all agree that this is their best song.

[@of_the_Word]

Dimension Eater Obviously we all can’t, but you knew that.

[@jakehart1519]

I just came to that conclusion

[@gremlinsmiter]

Flower Power is up there

[@jasonpdsi]

My pick is Safari Song

[@stevecarter2226]

Brandon Gomez Edge of darkness

[@CamD9203]

I try to figure out who does it best but they all kill it, the guitar riff is catchy af, the drums are ON POINT, the bass line is fucking insane, and the vocals..... i don’t think i need to make a comment on that... holy crap. And they’re all like 19-21 years old... I mean.. Damn. I hope they’re here to stay.

[@AFriskyPigeon]

Yes they are.

[@polyliker8065]

Can we just take a second to appreciate the vocal riff starting at an A5 at 4:19

[@nm1983]

These guys are going to rock this world, which actually we need!

[@nathanstevens259]

And they're bringing a whole new generation with them

[@NatSussNotSeuss]

This song has been in my head for 4 days straight!! Also Tom Petty tribute @ 5:24 I hope?? No way they did that without hearing Last Dance!

[@wyatttietz5072]

Nah, bro, thats from live versions of the Stairway to Heaven solo. Look up the Stairway 1979 Knebworth and you'll see what I'm talking about.

[@0liviaxoo888]

[@pegleg00]

QUALITY

[@anguswatson5380]

I like the fact josh uses his deeper register a bit in this one, most of his other songs are much higher

[@drewcagno]

Play gvf for anyone who grew up during the 70s and watch them fall in love....

[@anguswatson5380]

Wow one of jakes best guitar solos

[@javitorres1717]

nice tribute to Stairway to heaven in the final part of the solo

[@pr-gy8dq]

Oh my god

[@Odiomigliore]

This kid has a very great voice. And the band knows it. I'm sure.

[@curtbradley549]

[@Sal-tr3oz]

Does anyone have a tab for the melody jakes playing at 5:24???

[@speedypete07gnarly]

Stairway to Heaven mode 5:24

[@Rutherford_Inchworm_III]

Those brothers, they stand for the peace of the land. Is there meaning?

[@anakwon]

jake !!!!

[@getthefvckout6923]

how does he do that with his voice.....

[@alisonannallyallen1437]

Thunderstomp

[@Heimelhead]

Fuckin wails

[@breadzeppelin2705]

The band sounds similar to zep but Jake sounds a lot more like Clapton than Jimmy (I'm not saying he's copying anyone's style he's extremely unique)

[@andrewsalazar2132]

[@silixtuhibiski95]

5:23 Last Dance With Mary Jane...

[@ultraviolentromantic]

3:30

[@pjpp623]

Frodo bagins in vocals...

shit myself a little with the guitar solo

[@brucelivingston2220]

Am I the only one that heard the 90s/grunge influence in this?

[@Stopwar1234]

Nope

[@danielbarrientos5739]

Thank you cocaine haha

[@kar250]

danny... damn ma is it that serious

[@kristinLB]

Grrrrr….

[@maxmoore3488]

drummer has godamn turrets

[@weronikabejman6700]

That's called passion. Only musicians will unerstand it.

[@TheINAmoratos]

he listen to the metronom it is a good drummer...

[@theresaheyer537]

leave him alone

[@kurtisadams7360]

@@theresaheyer537 Yeah hat Theresa said!

[@brianf73]

Fernando Callo this is actually false. Drumming has advanced over the years. By a lot. It is much better to record drums to a click. Even if the drummer hates it.

[@SebastianHalfpenny]

Grace slicks grandson??

[@yamabiru4553]

That will do boys. First one to get a tattoo is out of the band.

[@shastica]

He sounds like the singer from heeey whats going on 🤣🔊

[@chinablows]

It's too bad the engineer didn't boost the bass, it is hard to hear. Maybe the room had bad acoustics.

[@dawgofwargaming8206]

Led Zeppelin is that you?

[@Ironworthstriking]

That kid's voice is gonna be gone in a couple of years.

[@0liviaxoo888]

Tyler Davis don’t say that 😪

[@theresaheyer537]

you're all heart mister

[@kurtisadams7360]

@Mista Lovalova Yeah don't say that Tyler!

[@logicaredux5205]

He’s singing properly and not straining himself which is amazing in itself. Yeah, his voice will change as he grows older, but I doubt he wil loose it.

[@Pacheecoo10]

I agree, is one of that voices being forced With a lot of shows can be lost, like axl’s rose. Hope that doesn’t happen 🙏🏾

[@OffleashM]

...also beeter than George Harrison, the best.

[@OffleashM]

OMG are we re-writing history?Jake Kiszka is better than Peter Frampton, Eric Clapton, and Mark Knopler. Very,very good.

[@Sjordb]

Are you insane?

[@p.o.vpaulsozvariety4300]

Ummm no! I love these kids but they've all got a long way to go before being in the same frame as knopfler and Clapton! Just ask John Mayer..

[@gabyznah]

Jake is not... YET. But considering that he's been playing since he were 3 years old and he is only 22...

[@russellzauner]

We ain't pretty but does that even fuckin matter

[@Tityretupatulae]

? They are beyond handsome

[@koleyturner5704]

Yeah this is great and all but the lick he starts playing at 5:25 was stolen from Jimmy Page, this dude literally ripped off that exact lick from "Led Zeppelin Stairway to Heaven live at Earls Court 1975" Page plays it at 7:03, look it up for yourself I promise you'll see what I'm talking about, and also the lead singers hand gestures were all stolen from Robert Plant, like I said just watch and you'll see

[@pikin2]

Its Tom Petty's mary Jane's Last Dance, if anything. Everyone pulls from the inspiration and makes it their own; Jimmy page had influences, too.

[@brandonjohnson1257]

You understand those people were also influenced by people. Robert plant I promise was influenced with his hand movements from someone's eariler work.

[@owenkrupp5543]

yea jimmy page and zeppelin stole riffs too, what’s your point?

[@PixliePlay]

am i the only one who thinks the singer is just annoying?

[@NomadRepublic]

Extremely.

[@waffles4eva101]

lowkey

[@donnanoneed7191]

Black/HeavenVEVO yes u r the only one

[@donnanoneed7191]

Yes u r

[@0liviaxoo888]

Black/HeavenVEVO wait explain

[@spartanofkill4519]

Led Zeppelin wannabes

[@alejandraramirez673]

Music critic wannabe.

[@SLACHILI100]

HE SCREAMS!!!!!!!!! AND HE DOES NOT SING!!!!!!!!!!!!! INSTRUMENTAL FANTASTIC!!!!! ONLY NICE SMILE!!! NOTHING MORE!!! SO MUCH VOICE EFFECT!!!!! ROBERT PLANT??? I THINK THAT JOKE???? NEVER!!!! PLANT REALY SONG!!!!!

[@AZIZAxBLUE]

PHOTODIGITAL ANDREAS learn to fucking string a sentence together before dissing a very talented band dickhead

[@mockingbirdarmada]

Well considering that Robert Plant himself said the singer sounds like him and that the band sounds like Zep, I'd say you're the outlying opinion friend. Plenty of old LZ records to spin if this doesn't suit you.

[@Carlos.Rodriguez]

Plus, you don't know sh#$# about music🤷‍♂️

[@kurtisadams7360]

Go back to listening to your Rap which is certainly not singing!

[@brandonjohnson1257]

Not hard to tell life isn't going how you planned hahaha
