Dude at times it looks so effortless that i even thought he was lip syncing but he obviously isnt

[@kenboggle2352]

There’s a talent in his vocals that Rocks me. You can see he’s thinking about every single note and strategy to get to it. Just amazing. That last bit reminded me of Stevie Nicks, back in the drug days.

Proof that real music never dies; it just comes back around and older people will rag on it, because it's being made by younger folk.

[@bruce4751]

So true about older folk. “Younger people making similar music to what we love! We hate it because they’re young people.” Makes no sense lmao.

[@marymacc7633]

Us “older folks” love Greta Van Fleet. We aren’t the ones criticizing. Their music reminds me of the music I listened to growing up. They are crazy talented.

[@jgirl10941]

when you compare them..... compare the originality of writing songs, compare the fact that they aren't auto tuned and that they are playing their own instruments.......... and then PRAISE the shit out of these kids!!!!!! music like this has been a long time coming! Rock the fuck on!!!!!!!

[@cheriesummers5297]

When I saw them at a festival, I was there to see Billy Idol. Got there early and these gorgeous young men come out, and I'm like, "Who is this?" I had no clue. They began playing and immediately I was so impressed by the fact that they were a young band, and so damn good. I've been a teacher for 23 years and I can count on one hand how many young men I've taught who played guitar and wanted to start a band. It's a rarity and something that should be encouraged with young people.

[@wolvves4293]

Freaking awesome, heavy Led Zepplin vibes. Love it.

[@_garebear]

Best band in 50 years.

[@meganmartin1195]

Josh makes it look SO easy and effortless to hit the notes that he achieves.....in awe of their raw talent every time I listen to them. And Jake's guitar skills are freaking INSANE... how he improvises on the spot and they're ALL on the same page while live... just WOW. Can't wait to experience them live. 🖤🖤🖤
