The "Unofficial" Greta Van Fleet Biography

A fan-made mini-documentary about the boys of "Greta Van Fleet." It follows the narrative focusing on the boy's past, present, and future (eww that was cheesy). As well as an ending for the members of the peaceful army, not just a straight biography. I spent weeks on this collecting footage, cutting it together, and all the other bits. It was weirdly frustrating at times but completely worth it.

[@cherriosity3822]

this is my 20th time watching it, i cry every single time i watch this especially when we see the photos of the fans being the happiest they are living in the music and being surrounded by the people they love 🥺 thank you for making this truly 💓💓 shows how special this army is and how greta truly affects the fans in such an unspeakable way💖

[@londonandres856]

sorry to be so offtopic but does anybody know a way to get back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid lost the password. I appreciate any tricks you can offer me

[@TheRegulatorsOfRDO]

the crying really comes out of nowhere, i was fine, then i just started bawling

[@naturefreak4101]

I just heard them for the first time a few days ago, singer puts feeling on the vocals and the whole band is great.

[@mik13735]

I just found this band because of Tiktok and I haven’t had a band make me feel this way in almost 10 years. I can’t express how much peace is in my heart when I hear their music and the message that they put across. This video made me cry 😭

[@ashk504]

ABSOLUTE SAME, Tiktock also brought me to them and same exact feeling !

[@purewater1OO]

Omg. I thought I was crazy. They make me cry because their music is so good!

[@annettelones8178]

Me too I'm in love❤

[@juliawalsh7934]

These guys are the real deal. Kudos to the parents for raising them right and for allowing them the freedom to listen to a different drum, that is, the calling from within. The creative calling, the grace to be authentic is what is missing in today's society. GVF is cut from a different cloth. I hope these guys stay true to themselves because they are on to something that peope didn't even know they were missing. But, when you hear it, as I did, you know it.

[@sheilacirioni4676]

People need to listen to these guys& see how deep they are. They are so smart& being young they can only go past the top. Such talent& I am 73& know good music. Peace,love,& rock& roll.....☮♥️🎊👍👍🙏🦸‍♀️

[@ravenwild5184]

I just turned 68 and heard Greta Van Fleet for the first time today. Love, love, love this band. Has best elements of my youth and current too. Lead singers voice reminds me of Freddy Mercury who I saw years ago. Loving their newest video Meeting the Master. A new obsession.❤🎉

[@4spbiz]

I've been a fan for about 5 years. I knew they were great and I was a fan but after I went and saw them live I was overwhelmed with the sense of celebration and love and the diversity of the audience in terms of age. I felt like I had finally made my pilgrimage but what I didn't know was I was actually joining the peaceful army. I'm not a fanboy I can't deny the power and love that flows through their music. Maybe that's why it makes me and so many others cry tears of joy when we listen.

[@tinamarie1831]

Absolutely charming!!!!

[@msdarlislinnvanb9819]

I'm an old fan at nearly 60 and I love seeing so many younger ones embracing good music and really gravitating towards the decent individuals who have formed this band. I love watching interviews with them they are so personable, knowledgeable and full of hope and that is sorely needed. My hope is that this group grows in its' fanbase and that we are all lucky enough to have them to listen to for a very long stretch. In my opinion tis is a nicely balanced band with a great sound all its' own and someday they will stop hearing all the comparisons which are honestly not very creative at this point and have been stated too many times for a true fn to even pay attention to.

[@sandifulmor8327]

And they never speak I’ll of people or their critics. They always have a lovely way of getting their point across without being nasty or mean. Love that!!!

[@msdarlislinnvanb9819]

@@sandifulmor8327 Agree 100 percent! They are music, enjoying life and relating with their fans. Not enough time in the day to convince others one way or another. They are just truly nice, talented people. And I think their fans are the type I'd rather be around as well.

[@richardlawson6787]

Real drums ..real guitars...real bass...wow...these days real Rock bands are rare

[@danpalmer2992]

Not only is Greta Van Fleet's music great, but it has a message between every lyric. Important messages.

[@cjohnnyjohnson]

I love this band because they loved John Denver. I was given so much shit growing up because I loved John Denver. BTW, he died on my birthday.

[@maddyotter5759]

This is fantastic!! Major props to you. I can’t imagine how much time it took to put all these pieces together.

I am from Michigan and I get you about the country. I moved from the big city to the country at 14 and never left. You guys are great ambassadors for the state.

[@gemmacareyxx2620]

Wow. This looks so professional. Well done! Please make more greta van fleet content!

[@colleenreilly2824]

This is AMAZING!!!! I kinda wish more people knew about them. They are pretty much the only people who make REAL music nowadays.

[@scottpollack1007]

Excuse me, “the only people making REAL music nowadays”? WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU SMOKING? Try a band from Japan called BANDMAID! They have more TALENT individually and collectively than GVF will ever hope to have............PERIOD!

[@thezeek2745]

@@scottpollack1007 nah

[@LoganLaTulippe]

@@scottpollack1007 music isn't a competition

[@scottpollack1007]

OK, “Zeek and Logan”, you say music “ISN’T A COMPETITION”? Ask the “Labels” and Record Companies and see what they have to say about it! I’ve spent many years in the “Industry” and I can tell you first hand that it’s “AN INTENSE COMPETITION”! Now, if you’re simply talking about your favorite Music Artists vs your Friends, then I agree, it’s not a competition! You’re talking about “Individual Preferences” and everyone has their own opinions! I simply expressed “My Opinion” regarding GVF and BANDMAID! Sorry we don’t agree!

[@LoganLaTulippe]

@@scottpollack1007 I agree that within the industry you've got to have competition to make it professionally. I mean from an artistic/talent point of view, it's useless to shut down one band because they're missing components you enjoy about your favorite band. I'm sure Bandmaid has aspects of their playing that GVF does not, but I'm also certain that GVF has aspects of their playing that Bandmaid can't pull off. Apples to oranges.

[@SweetSerenity79]

I have always thought of myself as a modern day hippy and this band touched my hippy soul the 1st time I heard it. I love the essence of Led Zepplin and Aretha Franklin on top of their own unique style really appealed to my hippy heart.

I love this bio. The back music was a little distracting, but amazing to hear how it all came together.

[@alanstrom2221]

Oh dear, they sound like a few other Bands combined into one. Good on them for having a go. If you like Bands that are heavily influenced by previous successful Bands, I strongly suggest that everyone has a listen to THE CASANOVAS. They're from Melbourne, Australia and I rate them as one of the best Rock Bands in history. They've released 5 awesome Rock albums and many Singles in an interrupted 25 year career. Tommy Boyce took some time out to complete his Architecture Degree and family issues. The Casanovas Released: April 2004 Label: Rubber Records (RUB161) Format: CD All Night Long Released: July 2006 Label: Rubber Records (RUB217) Format: CD Terra Casanova Released: 30 July 2015 Label: Rubber Records (RUB288) Format: CD - Reptilian Overlord Released: 28 August 2020 Label: Rubber Records Format: CD, Vinyl - Backseat Rhythms Released: 25 August 2023 Label: Rubber Records Format: CD, Vinyl Have a listen to THE CASANOVAS. Funny how the Album tracks are better than most of the Singles.

[@debramonzyk4925]

I'm 69, classic rock lover, so glad for UTube, thankful, also.cause things just pop up out of somewhere. AnywY, of all things here was a guy interviewing Robert Plant of Led Zepplin, he asked Robert know any new bands, Robert said yes right away GRETA VAN FLEET! said he was jealous! I brought Greta Van Fleet up really awesome! GOD BLESS THEM THEY ARE JUST STARTING OUT AND THEY REALLY ARE TRYING THEIR BEST IT SEEMS. LEAD SINGER SINGS AND SOUNDS LIKE THE LEAD SINGER OF RUSH and Sometimes like ROBERT PLANT, BUT, HE CAN CHANGE HIS VOICE, ALOT, VERY UNIQUE, THEY ARE ALL EXTREMELYY TALENTED!

[@rknbassrobin]

Every time i think i cant possibly love these guy's more than i already do. Im sitting here with tears rolling down my face because I was a child of the 70's. We missed the 60's, so we had 'sex, drug's & rock & roll'. Nothing wrong with that, but we were still infused with the peace & love movement even if we didnt live it. We didnt have a cause, or we had too many causes. A lot of people ended up cynical & jaded. Then there were people like me, a 70's Hippie. Love & music, peace & justice meant something. And thank you so much Jake, Josh, Sam & Danny for leading us all back to the right way. Momma Kiszka - Karen - you did an awesome job. Im so grateful that my Higher Power saw fit to have me on this Earth at the same time as your family. Music is the air i breathe & I listen to GVF all day, everyday, for month's & month's & month's & month's now. Jake, Josh, Sam & Danny, stay true to yourselves. The 1st time I heard that, I questioned it. But I understand it now. So stay curious, & keep learning, & in that way, you WILL stay true to your oh so talented selves. I truly love you guy's, & you inspire me. Peace, Love & Unity.

[@longsnapper5381]

Love these guys.Hope they can navigate the rapids and keep it upright. Long way to go. Good luck GVF!

The more of GvF I continue to experience - from the formation of the band in their childhood garage, to the the earliest gigs and progressively beyond - one dominate chord of thought keeps reappearing - the talents they have, individually and collectively, are timeless........

I don't know why I am just now discovering this band today, and it was completely random. I heard Light of Love on a video reel on FB so I followed it to its source, and ... WOW! They do sound a lot like the Led Zeppelin of my teen years in high school. Such memories. After watching the documentary, I think these boys are amazing. Josh's voice in incredible - that range defies gravity. And, they are all smart and have a sense of humor. They are just so wonderfully talented. Ah, serendipity.
