Greta Van Fleet - Shocking Life Advice from Josh Kiszka

[@daisydorothy2334]

This man is so profound but in an earthly way kinda. Like, he's so grounded but he has such different thoughts than your 'average human' about everything, and his thoughts are so refreshing to hear too. Absolute legend.

[@daisydorothy2334]

And Melissa, you're amazing too obviously hahah

[@Daredevil71120]

100%. Josh is such a unique individual

[@dansheehan8754]

This was profound? Really?

[@chanceytheyoungin]

This might be a bit of a reach. He’s definitely a unique individual but nothing hes said was particularly deep or profound. I think you might be a little starstuck if you think he’s that profound. Don’t get me wrong, he’s interesting for sure but acting like anything he’s had to say way beyond surface level is a bit of a reach. I’ve been blinded by fan girling out before, too, putting my idols and people i look up to on a sort of pedestal.

This specific video truly captures josh and his magical energy/presence. He is honestly one of the most captivating beings I’ve witnessed. I can assure that every fan of him feels a closer connection now, even if from a distance! Melissa thank you for this video and for sharing this piece of josh with us, you are also such a bright light!

[@gayle8153]

I don't know how celebrities like Josh and the rest of GVF who treasure their privacy even deal with all the fan stuff. I would lose it, I think! But I have the feeling that at least Josh has his own way of keeping things in perspective. I think he's such an intelligent, thoughtful and well balanced soul, I could listen to him talk for hours. Thank you Melissa, once again, for presenting this series, and thanks Josh, for being such an enjoyable human being. All of us look forward to seeing all of you soon!

[@celicalover1]

Josh is EVERYTHING, the full spectrum of light. The critical thinking and wisdom of an old soul, yet so young with his silly and goofy humor. He's absolutely beautiful inside and out. "A smile that can light up a room" doesn't even come close to describing the light that shines from him. The person that gets his love and devotion....I can't even describe how lucky that individual is.

josh is so beautiful in every way, especially energy. as an empath i can tell he is just the most pure human and would never purposely harm another being. he has such a bright, loving, and welcoming energy to him. it’s so interesting to see someone so popular have the exact same thought process as me and to see him look at the world how i do. it makes me so happy to know we have people like him in the world still and i’m not just alone. i would so love to meet him

[@oliviachiappetta6826]

Josh and the others are the same age as me (and coincidentally grew up in a town a half hour from me), yet they seem so much more connected with the universe than anyone I’ve seen. I only discovered them a week ago, but I feel like I’ve known them my whole life. Their first two albums were outstanding, but their new album is literally if life, itself, had its own soundtrack. I’m so grateful for them. 💛

Josh has changed my life! After singing through the new album countless times my vocal range has improved SOOO much! He has the most unique and beautiful voice. Honest to God, he embodies all that is good about music and has made me a better musician. I will always be indebted to GVF. Bucket list dream would be to sing a duet with Josh!

[@annmahn6091]

@@they_call_me_deb1264 Naha, he “fumbles over words” all of the time in interviews. Some have even said he has a stutter, he does not. The pause and correction of words while he is speaking is a sign of intelligence, speaking, stopping to correct or determine the correct words he wants to use. Not a fumble or inability what so ever.

[@athenaking1028]

[@drewdlhj]

That was really really cool - thank you, loved it, from South Africa

I remember thinking that Greta Van Fleet was a band of the 80s and then being unable to process the fact that they are so young. Their music is genuinely some of the best music released in the last couple of decades. But in addition to their unbelievable talent, to say that these guys' personalities and the way they have approached their careers has really impressed me is an understatement. They give me hope for the future of music and artistry. We are all tired of the hollowness and industrialization of music, and seeing what they stand for is the biggest inspiration one can ask for as an artist. It's all about the music, the message, the art, the LIVE experience of music and making the world a better place. The fame, the manufacturing of music, the money, the stupid pretensions and the absurdity of the "celebrity world" is all bullshit. Hopefully their amazing career paves the way for some real artists with some real honest music to follow. Thank you for giving us an insight into Josh's mind, he and his brothers (danny included) are exceptional people.

[@Aleet725]

What a cool ass dude. Seems humble & down to earth.

[@deathrays]

it's actually mind boggling how much he looks like my ex boyfriend, but personality wise, empathy wise, brain wise; they are complete opposites. my ex was cold, harsh, emotionless. josh is so warm, open and genuine.

[@deathrays]

i was so attracted to Josh's personality at first, primarily, it wasn't until i was able to take in his inner beauty, i realized he is literally identical to my ex. (my ex is from Michigan)

I really loved these interview conversations. I laughed and learned things. Your relationship and connection to this band and family is truly lovely and very special. These will be memorable times to look back on and cherish and value. You and the people of your community are so fortunate to have these thoughtful and amazingly talented people and what you and your community is doing and wants to do to acknowledge them is remarkable. No wonder they have such huge hearts for hurting/healing people, because they seem to come from a wonderful hometown.

Picture this.... for the new Frankenmuth street idea named after GVF should be like the iconic Freemont st in Vegas made for foot traffic: pubs, billiards, restaurants, vinyl & music instrument store, live music, fresh food market, thrift store, comedy club, board games lounge, and a large bonfire pit.

It sounds boring I’m sure to just wanna see how they are doing physical and mentally, because it’s hard to find such gems like them. I don’t want them to be overwhelmed by everything and I want them to feel respected and loved by the whole peaceful army.

Ok Melissa, if you remember me from the last comment section, I have a question for you: how did you know I’d love this part? You almost scare me.. 😂 “Fuck fear and live your legend through the intelligence of love” is my favorite quote.. he said it for the first time some months ago in an interview, I think, and ever since I heard it, it’s always been on my mind and written on a paper on my wall, where I can always see it and be inspired by it. Also: “everybody is his type?” Thank you for saying that, now I’m a happy girl! 😂 I’m starting to think that everyone in the peaceful army is “their type”, because we love them and understand them and believe in what they do.. There’s always a lot of love spreading from them that you feel loved somehow.. I don’t know if this makes sense, but yeah.. I’m so glad you had this little chat with him.. I wouldn’t call it an “interview”, it’s more like a nice, funny and honest conversation between friends, so thank you for sharing it with us all. I like to think this is the “real Josh”.. Can’t wait to see you opening for them (yep, it must happen!) and please make sure you tour worldwide! 😉❤️

[@genevawelsh9133]

I love hearing him talking about life and career, I love how fame doesn't come first and act up on it. And that's why a lot of celebrities leave the spotlight is cause fame is all they ever think about and when something doesn't go their way they leave cause they think their life is over. I really like how they just act like funny,normal guys that I could talk to all day of anything. And yeah I agree,there are some tik tok accounts who are probably young 13 year olds saying "oh Josh can run me over with his car" or even going as far as taking photos of possibly his car or probably someone else's and claims "omg I just saw his car" I'm like..uhhhh OKAYYY THEN. But they adore their fans no matter what. They have a widespread audience of all ages. When I went to a rock concert it was Def Leppard and Journey and I had to be the youngest one there I was 17 or 18 and the rest of the crowd were probably around my parents age lol. Yeah but to see people of all ages in the fandom is pretty cool. Especially seeing those who either young grew up on rock music from their parents,or just getting into it or maybe rock music is not really their thing but when it is its GVF. So it's cool to see that young generations are getting into it rock music will never die!
