[@sandifulmor8327]

Jake has said in many interviews that they want to take the sounds of the past old blues and rock artists and move it forward. Put a contemporary sound to it. As an elder growing up with that sound, I think they are doing just that!

[@Dilaudid281]

If people can overlook the way Elvis, Zeppelin, Rolling Stones, and so many others sounded almost exactly like music taken from earlier decades...I don't see why GVF has to be held to a different standard. We have music that comes out today that's celebrated for sounding like it came from the 80's and 90's. To me, this is very transformative and should be way more respected than it is.

[@TobyDavvy]

That’s a fair argument

[@taylorham9532]

exactly acting like all music and sounds are past through word of mouth. similarity is what connects you to a feeling which stains a memory. all art and entertainment are taken from an inspiration someway or somehow.

[@reiserjake]

When you said “I guess they’re just a tribute band that writes their own songs”, yeah you lost me 😂

[@wendybaier9368]

Can we just let them be the Amazing Band that they are??? Why do you insist on comparing these Guys ? I’m amazed at what they are doing! Let them be GVF!!!!!👍👍👍👍

[@dylancole1910]

Nice to find an actual fan among the bs.

[@hisnameisiam808]

You sound similar to a Muslim. They don't like their prophet compared or questioned either. That being said, I agree to a certain extent. I wish more bands would revive the old styles of music.

[@NecramoniumVideo]

He needs to stop sucking on that meth pipe, lol.

[@benjaminconrad3674]

I may only be 27,but the important part is I mostly only hear 50s-late 70s music and what I ever wanted was a modern band playing like a old 50s-70s band and than there was gvf, I don't have a single critique that they sound like Led or rush or even look (like in this) a bit like queen. That is just perfect and they are so talented, Sam can play with his feet the bass.

[@ThisIsF-dUp]

Greta Rocks with real feels better than most. I'm a believer.

[@williamharris7357]

It's very amusing how the critics that doesn't like them aren't the ones that's selling out stadiums the way that they are

[@djbrown470]

I understand the critique (kinda), but GVF has had this dream since they were kids. Jake knew exactly what he wanted and his brothers backed him the whole way. Not only were they there for him, but they became amazing artists themselves that can put a lot of other bands to shame. There is much more that goes into it than just sound. It's about the feel and the drive that the band has. They knew what they wanted and they are still on the road for achieving that. This "Haut Take" is VERY HOT!

[@janfitzgerald3615]

They started writing and playing in their early teens, and they continue to grow. Everyone I know who’s seen them live, and we’re talking about parents who have gone with their college age kids, has been blown away. They grew up listening to the parents and grandparents vinyl, so yes they’re fans of the songs from the late 60’s, 70’s, and early 80’s. Check out Broken Bells, Black Smoke Rising, or their latest Meeting the Master.

[@maryjennings2297]

They are every bit as good live! Catch the GVF concert near you. Super talented musicians and lead singer Josh could sing the damn news reels and create a hit! Will be seeing them soon in Seattle then maybe fly out to Michigan. Saw them in Spokane and Sacramento and I was not disappointed as they played 4 new songs in Sacramento for their last concert of the Dreams in Gold Tour. Their new album Starcatcher will be released at the end of July and I’m excited. I think I’m becoming a “Fleetie”

[@Ohio45545]

We want real,visceral sound and voice NOT autotuned crap. I love these guys

[@AndyKraig-np5qj]

They were kids in 2012 still in school

[@hisnameisiam808]

When you finally understand what they are saying in their music you understand that they have a political and religious message. But I can appreciate the music. Love the voice and overall sound. Jesus loves you.

[@robertdubin5850]

Why would a band who has successfully captured the sound of the 70s rock stars want to move in a direction Towards todays vanilla auto-tune music? These guys are excellent.

[@carmensandiego7749]

They're glam rock angels in this song, the white, silver, and the sentiment. The new Meeting the Master track is more psychedelic. Take care of your cough.

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

They actually know how to play their own instruments! Multiple instruments that is. If you want folks to continue watching and subscribing, lay off the LZ! Sam & Danny were still teenagers when they started. Please

[@carlamabrito]

They are awesome ❤

[@sherriemihelitch9669]

PLEASE, listen to MORE! Candlelight Sessions "Broken Bells" & "Tears of Rain"! 🥰🥰GVF🥰🥰

[@thechooch]

Edge of darkness and when the curtain falls are my favorite from them

[@juliemanarin4127]

Yes

[@brid4]

no full reaction?? also maybe you gotta quit that vape stuff man

[@redzwestisbest]

probably need to listen to their latest song Meeting the Master..which is a 70s tune that goes into early 90s rock in some parts. . Light My Love is a ballad which focuses on his singing. But most of their stuff so far is what you said 70s rock feel.

[@redzwestisbest]

i just find their songs asking their audience to come along for the ride to whatever they are smoking... think it is kind of cool.

[@toddneeley9587]

Greatest rock band going

[@jedfo64]

All raised listening to their parents vinyls Papa was a popular blues harmonica player. They listened to muddy waters bb king and many others growing up People feel they must always compare them to Led Zep I prefer the ethereal soulful sound of these superb self taught musicians

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

So SICK of the LZ references! Get a grip people!

[@juliemanarin4127]

They are the only newer band I listen to! Please do live Zeppelin!

[@SparrowTerapin]

Definitely hear the Geddy Lee/Triumph vibe.

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

Jake & Josh are identical twins!

[@vanceritchey7248]

I've always thought he sounded like a mix between Geddy and Plant. The first album was straight up plant style singing and they got so much lashback he changed it up.

[@terribongers2465]

I initially said he was a love child from Janice Joplin and Robert Plant!!

[@thechooch]

Sound like zep look like queen

[@FrostyFeet2018]

Dude, get off the high horse about comparing them to older music

[@brendawentzell128]

Luv them

[@randy7068]

Dude that vape is killing you. Literally.

[@artistickevful]

Maybe they don’t want to sound like the mass produced crap of today.

[@philippabroadhurst5218]

Um, you didn’t actually finish the song?? Honestly left unimpressed with your “reaction” video , big style.

[@fronthole]

rush lmfao true tho

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

Think for yourself!!!!!

[@keytone5184]

Rip Off sorry,I love that people are in to this band because they need it,and Zepp ripped everyone off,all's fare in rocking roll,I'd. Like to see a Haut take on MC5

[@thechooch]

Sounds a little rush-ish

[@brucedickinson12]

Not a bad band to follow

[@kalewaynestruthers4574]

Bro your looking sick man quit the vape

[@TobyDavvy]

You’re *

[@kalewaynestruthers4574]

@@TobyDavvy just saying that shit is posion bro

[@mattmorris3212]

I like listening to them more than watching them, they're kinda cringy.

[@DistantWailer]

This shit actually hurts my ears and my psyche if that's possible. And I love Getty Lee's voice. But for some reason this guy's voice is piercing in a bad way

[@Alecxzsander19]

Should see a doctor

[@bigmike5785]

They are pretty talented but i cant take them seriously when they dress like that.

[@marisolmanzano2041]

They dressed like this for this video ....live Josh (the singer) is the one who dreessed glammy but the rest not so much

[@benjaminconrad3674]

Look at so much older bands, mostly glam rock bands (or David bowie), than look at the looks of guys like Jimi Hendrix or Janis Joplin, Queen, Kiss, and so on and on, it's not unusual for Rock Bands to dress unusual but that is often for getting the song more story.

[@mikeyj.3605]

It seems like they are pretending. Doing things that they think are what a rock band should do. The lyrics are weak which totally deflates the music. They do sound a lot more like Rush. Toby you do more coughing than anybody on youtube, might want to lighten up on the smoking man.

[@Alecxzsander19]

Guess You could do it better

[@terribongers2465]

They have always worn things that are a bit dii

[@terribongers2465]

Different

[@RockandRoll0U812]

Actually, the Lyrics are pretty deep, take the time to read them and decipher what they are saying, they may mean different things to different people but good lyrics do that, they make you think about the message. Totally disagree about deflating the Music, strong song from start to finish.

[@dragoneyesus6796]

I really like the live version better. They are real and not with the crazy dress.
