@Mr. snickett I've always enjoyed LZ, and yes, they've INFLUENCED many bands that came after them. But they are the GRANDFATHERS of rock and roll. Greta Van Fleet give credit to many genres that have influenced them, and Josh's voice has over a 2 1/2 octave range! He can easily sing in a higher register, so that's what he uses. LZ is the awesome past - GVF is the amazing future. I can enjoy both with no problem at all. ☮️

These people who keep saying rip off Led Zeppelin listened to one song and have defined the band by that one song. Do your damn research and listen to their other songs because your petulance is really starting to piss me off. I have been a huge Led Zeppelin fan since I was 12 and I can tell you that the new material and even some of the material on AOTPA sounds NOTHING like Led Zeppelin. So take your comparisons and shove it.

@@MrKoolaidjam they've never claimed that. they just said zep wasn't their only influence, which is true if you've listened to any of their music.

@@catchinglooks "Led Zeppelin were NOT an overhwhelming influence for our music." I call bullshit.

[@catchinglooks]

@@MrKoolaidjam IMO, the only songs on that first EP that sound zepp-y are highway tune, flower power, and safari song. so, yeah, out of 8 songs, that's not "overwhelming." and the last album has even fewer. anyway, the bottom line is, if it sounds good, who cares either way? listen or don't.

[@MrKoolaidjam]

@@catchinglooks I enjoy some of their stuff. Again I just don't think they credit zeppelin as much as they should to the point where even Robert plant had a little jab at them.

I’m not a fan of there music, maybe I need to give them another chance. What I will say though, these guys are what’s helping keep rock alive, when bands like pearl jam and foo fighters have realeased their last record, gone in their last tour etc. Greta van fleet are still are still gonna be here. Rock will live on because a band like Greta van fleet will exist and from that we might get more rock bands back in the mainstream and hopefully stay rock unlike so many other bands. They’re clearly influenced by led zep, but what’s wrong with that? Would you rather them be influenced by nickleback or limp bizkit? Their leader singer sounds just like Robert plant did a in his prime, if he can pull of Robert plant how can anyone criticise? They’re a young band, they’ll have time to come more into their own. Until these guys came around you’d hear people talk about zeppelin saying « they don’t make em like this anymore « now that they do people don’t want to know. Don’t make much sense to me but there you go lol

[@windyraine5574]

If you really want to be honest you need to admit that when you first hit the stage with songs like Highway Tune, you sounded like you were raised specifically on Led Zeppelin vocals. It's the right thing to do. You have a wonderful voice, just need the emotional piece, so young is ok you don't have his sex appeal yet. Excuse my age, I have listened to so much music over the years. I am 70. I like it when my music gives me an emotional ride that matches a set of deep lyrics. I now have adult children and grandchildren who all love Led Zeppelin.

[@Chuckles..]

They're definitely a live band creating atmospheres with their music live. I hope they keep doing what they want without giving thought to writing hits. There's too much formulaic corporate pop music that _all sounds the same by design,_ like it's mind control tech.

[@lisareitzel7501]

Where does the Zepplin comparison come from? I just don't hear or see it...maybe the first song they released but not since then. The kid has a great voice and that is the only similarity I hear. Led Zep wore jeans and shirts. These boys are a little more dress up for the concert performance (the exception being shoes!). I wish them the fame, fortune and longevity Zepplin has had!!

Un montón de entrevistas y yo sin saber que dicen lloro literal... nadie las traduce 😢😢😢😢😢

[@LadyVendetta74]

I used Google translator so I hope it is correct, sorry: ¡Podemos decir que la querida Black Flag Exposition estará allí! The Weight of Dreams es de hecho su evolución, aún más extensa. Con esta perla terminará el álbum. "Garden's Gate" representa para Josh, creador del título del álbum, lo que queda del mundo natural y "The Battle" es obviamente todo lo que lo amenaza constantemente. Jake encuentra que este título es consistente con las historias que se cuentan pieza por pieza. En este sentido, The Barbarians y Caravel se han sumado gracias al paro forzoso que provocó la pandemia, logrando así completar el "puzzle". Josh describe el trabajo como "más meticuloso, más progressive". El tono es más dramático que los álbumes anteriores y no hay temas que destaquen especialmente, es un trabajo para ser apreciado en su totalidad. Es motivo de satisfacción para Jake formar parte de un grupo que deja espacio a la expresión instrumental, como sus solos de 5 minutos que, como señala, ya no son habituales en la actualidad. Su deseo es transmitir la importancia de esta dimensión musical a las nuevas generaciones. Están ansiosos por tocar el nuevo material en vivo, que Jake llama "extremadamente divertido de tocar", así como muy variado y, a veces, complejo. •Cuando se les preguntó si se habían 'vuelto salvajes' durante el encierro, Josh respondió con "sí, la sangre está goteando de nuestros colmillos" y que "teme a la domesticación más que a nada." •Josh bromea sobre hacer un álbum paralelo de él cantando en la ducha • Jake dice que las canciones más caóticas provienen de las tours y las 'canciones folky y lullaby-esque' provienen de estar en casa • Josh dice que él y Jake son "los mejores amigos, pero también los mayores enemigos ... día y noche". • Josh cuando habla de decirle a jake su idea para el título del álbum "normalmente me dice una idea y yo le diré que es una mierda. Luego le diré una idea y él me dirá que es una mierda, pero él en realidad me gustó mucho "

Search "Greta Van Fleet - The Weight of Dreams (Live at Red Rocks Amphitheater)". It's a song they use to play live, which is not included in any of their albums. It's 9 minutes (sometimes more), mostly instrumental and some lyrics from a song by Melanie Safka. It's a very special moment of their live shows. Fans were hoping to find it on the new album and so it is. They changed the title and lyrics
