Love Greta Van Fleet's retro rock sound! Three brothers and lifelong friend. They're so young and talented and just keep getting better with each album!

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Yes they are certainly leaning toward the retro side of things aren’t they ha - I love that - I definitely have to listen to more of their stuff 🙏

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

You'll love all their songs, there really isnt a bad one in the bunch Been following these boys since 2017 when I was 17 and they were 19-21 so it feels like I grew up with them

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Nice .. yeah you’re the same generation as them then so you probably feel that connection. Very nice 👌

[@sherriemihelitch9669]

Love watching people discovering these immensely talented guys!!!! The singer & guitarist are twins also. They LOVE what they do & it shows. Please, do more of them! 🥰🥰GVF🥰🥰

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Yes I can’t believe it took so long to find them!!! I will definitely do more … thanks for the comment 🙏

[@wilmamans306]

This is the best song to introduce new listeners to Greta Van Fleet.

[@jsloan024]

LOVE LOVE LOVE this band!!

[@TheSomaticSinger]

I can see why 👌

[@stephaniefox9701]

GVF my absolute favorite band and I am just at 50 years young😂😂😂 All four of these young gentlemen are magnificent in his own way… together they are magical ❤ Beloved Josh the amazing person he is took his biggest leap of faith ever last week and came out proud and positive as a wonderful part of our LGBTQ+ family. This band im bodies everything right in the world ❤

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Ahh that’s great for him to live his truth!! Yes I will definitely do more of them - this is still the only song I know ✌️

[@amoco14]

I'm 60 years old and I love these guy's, I am so glad that now that Young people had/have a chance to here Greta Van Fleet. A lot of there music style comes from there parents music collection and that is kinda how they play music. And even now the days of being called a Led Zeppelin & Rush copycat band are now gone. They have found there element. Great Rock & Roll band.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Yes I need to delve into more of their stuff as this is still the only song I know - well I watched Justin Hawkins react to a song of theirs but I can’t remember it now 😂 yes they are who they are - comparisons are just opinions anyway and each opinion is individual… what one person hears is not what another does and that’s the beauty of it … no right no wrong … I love that ✌️ defo gonna listen to more of their stuff 😀 thanks for commenting - appreciate that 🙏

GVF fan-musical prescription: get a daily dose of GVF

[@Badmmajmma]

I love these guys (3 brothers and a childhood friend). They grew up listening to their parents’ eclectic vinyl collection so they have a lot of roots and classic influences. They are fantastic live. For their live work, I’d suggest their Red Rocks concert (professionally recorded and released in parts) and their candlelight sessions. As to their look, Elton John gave them advice when he had them perform at his Grammy Awards Party…Elton told them to flaunt what they have and they took that advice and ran with it. I like that they are putting on a show but still performing at a high level.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Thanks for that answer - I didn’t know any of that - brilliant!!! I can really see how they’ve become what they have now you’ve mentioned all those points 🙏

[@Badmmajmma]

@@TheSomaticSinger If you ever get a chance, see them in concert. I think they have some UK and European dates in the fall. Anyhow, I enjoyed your reaction and vocal information. Peace.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

@@Badmmajmma I shall keep my eye out thank you 👀👀👀

[@juliemanarin4127]

I didn't know that!

[@rebeccathomason5004]

No, these guys are the real deal they’ve been together since their teens. Do a review of their candlelight series videos and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

yes I think I probably will that series has been mentioned a few times now - thanks for the suggestion 🙏

[@kellygoodman4773]

These boys are nothing but talented. They write and perform their own songs, and each one of them brings their own unique sound to create one amazing band. Can't get enough!

[@johnpitera9926]

Great reaction you have a new subscriber! This band is amazing in concert , a must see concert when they come to your area. I will be going to see them headlining at Madison Square Garden in September September

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Thank you 🙏 actually I just checked and they’re pretty much sold out so I would be sat right at the back which is probably not ideal really - maybe they might add an extra date or something 🤞 thanks for the comment ✌️

[@MsZepfreak]

I love this band and i cant wait to see them again in November. They are a real breath off fresh. NO autotune and a really nice 70s vibe. They are phenominal live, its a true experience! Listen to their catalogue, you'll love them even more!! Thanks for your reactions and views.i enjoyed it. 😊

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Thank you 🙏 I appreciate that - I hope to more of them very very soon ✌️

[@jodibennett-bradshawrbtmph836]

Josh was sick when they filmed this. Imagine how he sounds at 100%! Check out anything from Red Rocks, CO, USA or When The Curtain Falls!!!! Cool channel!!! 🙂

[@kptlt.phillipthomsen5973]

Idk if its just me but I get a lot more Queen, Rush, Deep Purple from them than Led Zeppelin

[@TheSomaticSinger]

I think they’re in their own lane right now - not too many people doing what they’re doing ✌️

[@juliemanarin4127]

Listen to the earlier stuff

[@susanlee8609]

Yes!! Me too. Plus Kansas for me.

[@tarawerner4271]

@@TheSomaticSinger thank you!! As fans we get so tired of people trying to compare them to other bands! A lot of bands sound like other bands I don't see why it matters to some people so much. People seem to do it to them more because of the whole Led Zeppelin connection they think is here. Greta is just Greta and I wish more would just let him be Greta. Thank you again

[@w.geoffreyspaulding6588]

They got that label when they first came out, both because , when they were kids in high school and just started their band, they DID cover allot of Zeppelin when they played locally, and because of Highway Tune and Safari off their first record…….it immediately reminded people of Robert Plant, because we hadn’t heard such lovely screams in a good long while. Now, however, they’ve gotten their own sound.. They do strike me as having echoes of Queen.., specifically in their visual presentation, and Rush…in that Josh Kiszka sounds now allot more like Geddy than Plant. But at this point they are NOBODY’S cover band.

[@maureenlyons-brennan1146]

I saw these guys in NYC last month. They blew me away.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Brilliant! I’m a little bit jealous!! I must do another video really soon ✌️

[@graceallen6304]

Loved your reaction to my favorite band! There is nobody out there playing music like this - and they are just as good, if not better, live! Check out all the recommendations above. Looking forward to many more of your GVF reactions.

@@TheSomaticSinger Live version on Jimmy Kimmel is clearer and my favorite is the official studio video version

[@j9andphoenix]

All of the music from Greta would fit into the 70s. BTW it was Elton John who on meeting them in their early teen days suggested they glam up a bit - and since then we have great outfits but a brilliant. He uses his head voice wonderfully and his breath control is astounding. Watch the Candelight Sessions,

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Yes I definitely need to hear him sing more stuff so I can get a better idea of what he’s capable of … I’m expecting great things 👌

[@j9andphoenix]

@@TheSomaticSinger Oh, I can strongly suggest you listen to much more. Candelight Sessions - the songs there are beautiful and played with orchestra. And then you should watch "Heat Above", Age o of Machine', and there is a clip of Age of Man live which is awesome. Once you start the journey I am sure you will love them and please remember it is about the four talented guys and not just Josh, although his voice is quite stunning. If you don't know. Josh and Jake who plays guitar are twins, Sam is two years younger and is their brother, playing bass and keyboards and Danny is the drummer, who is a close friend, being Sam's age. They are just wonderful. Enjoy the journey.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

@@j9andphoenix thanks for the heads up I’ll check out your recommendations very very soon - yes I realise that a band is never just about one person and I’m sure I will become more familiar with the rest of the guys over time by watching more videos👌 thanks for your comments - really appreciate it ✌️

[@seacrestboxers1787]

Oh wow ! You've done it now, you have just brushed the very tip of a titanic sized iceberg, you are about to fall down a rabbit hole into the wonderful fantastic world of GVF. Enjoy the ride there is so much to experience. But start at the beginning with Highway Tube and come forward to present. This track is from The Battle At Gardens Gate which is a stellar album. We are all now waiting for Starcatcher due out in July. I'm in the UK, they are over here as part of a world tour in November. Wembley. Manchester Glasgow & Dublin. The very best of GVF is their live performance, Go !

[@TheSomaticSinger]

Cool thanks for the heads up - I shall dive in head first very soon 😊 yea I looked at tickets yesterday actually and it was just right at the back that was available for quite a considerable amount of money so that’s not really my vibe but maybe they might add an extra date if they sell out - hopefully 🤞

[@ewokkebab1300]

Really fun reaction, there's a fair bit of Rush in there as well as Led Zeppelin, but Greta are a breath of fresh air for an ageing eclectic metalhead like myself. I heartily recommend Nightwish (Ghost Love Score live at Wacken) or something by Electric Callboy (We Got The Moves or Hypa Hypa) to react to on the rockier end of the spectrum.

[@TheSomaticSinger]

You have to listen to Light My Love. The chorus is ridiculous! If you listen to one of their brand new songs like Sacred the Thread or Meet the Master, you can hear how much he has worked on his voice. It has gotten even better!! Hard to believe, right????

This song is transcendent. It is my favorite one to indoctrinate people to GVF. I actually recommend people start with The Battle at Gardens Gate or Starcatcher then work backwards. Their early stuff is phenomenal but they have evolved so much and who they are now is who they should be. They were so very young when they put out their first album.
