It’s like you can continue the saga of that sound. There’s a band called the Explorer Club that writes original music that sound just like mid 60s beach boys. Lenny Kravitz and World Party have made careers out of doing this. There’s room for everyone.

For anyone saying gvf hasn’t said LZ is an influence for them is misinformed. They have come out and said obviously Zep was an influence of theirs. But when it’s all anyone can say about your band and is asked about in almost every interview they do, obviously they’re going to try to not feed into it. The more I listen to Greta, the less they sound like Led Zeppelin. There are a couple songs I can hear it, but overall I don’t believe the constant and unrelenting comparisons are warranted. Especially with their latest album.

Heat Above is an extraordinary piece with some very rousing melodic sections. It's not riff laden - it doesn't need to be - but it's clever in different ways, such as the very well composed middle section and the lydian motif. Josh doesn't sound like Robert Plant on this song, he sounds like himself and I love the direction they're taking. I wasn't a fan of Highway Tune (or whatever it was) but I'm totally digging this new stuff!

@@tylersmith9418 Incorrect. 1. Led Zeppelin have NEVER lost any lawsuit. They never even fought against or argued again the Dixon and Wolf claims. They owned up to those cases and paid up right away. The only case they actually fought was the Spirit one. They took that to court and rightly won it. Twice. 2. I repeat, they didn't 'copy' anyone. They put their own identity into literally everything they took. Zeppelin actually used to introduce The Lemon Song as Killing Floor when they were playing it live in 1969. However the Lemon Song recorded for Led Zeppelin II is very different to the Wolf song. It is most definitely not a 'copy'. Not if you listen to the Wolf version that came out in the 1960s. Wolf later re-recorded it in England in 1970. Ironically that version has the funk and groove similar to Zeppelin's The Lemon Song. At the time Wolf was re-recording Killing Floor in England, Led Zeppelin II was the number one selling album in both the UK and USA. 3. Nope. No other examples of Zeppelin copying. When they did an out and out cover, they credited the source. Such as the two Dixon covers on the first album. Zeppelin fully credited Dixon for those right from the beginning.

Covers or not, influenced by aside, Zep sounded like Zep from day one. GVF sounds like Zep from day one to this day and age. They're good musicians, they should come up with their own sound and leave the comfort zone/sound of being like the bands they're influenced by. But nope, this kids have talent, but aint got that pedigree. Zep had that pedigree, thats why their renditions and blatant covers are reveered. Almost every 70s act had it, and they ve all did covers, so what???!!!! But don't forget, the thing we're fed up about, the very thing that makes us, fans of rock and roll, knock GVF for is not having the balls to say something unique, musically, and sounding too Zep-ish for their own good. But again, in this market, this kind of outside debate seems benefficial since there aint bad publicity. So, why quit the formula that works? Then fine! Do it, but we all know this is a massive gimmick, so don't come defending something that doesnt have the courage to morph into something unique, while milking it ad nauseaum with a straight face.

GVF and any bands in the future that make music wirh a VERY clear influence arent making music for people of our age.

The way I see it that's the reason bands like GVF exist and also the biggest downfall. I really enjoy the first album but it makes me want to put IV on afterwards and it's better and it's not close. That's an unfair comparison for sure because it's a bunch of teenagers compared to one of the greatest records of all time but it's a comparison they invite. I think they are a talented and exiting band but they'd do themselves a huge favour by distancing themselves from the early 70s.

@@ThatLonesomeLecherousLeech Hi Lech! I am part of the younger generation (i.e 18-24) that grew up in a house full of rock. I’m confused when you say that GVF’s music should be “rebellious” and “ground breaking”. Does everyone have the same definition of ‘rebellious’ and ‘groundbreaking’? I don’t think so. Based on their most recent album (the battle at gardens gate), I think the abstract, larger message of this album is addressing the human condition. That, to me, is groundbreaking. Times are changing and the human condition is decreasing, something my generation will have to face head on someday, now even. Of course not everyone may see their album this way, but I definitely wouldn’t say it’s anything passive. I think this album is tender yet powerful, something that my generation could use. Especially in a day where unnecessarily vulgar rap and pop is extremely dominant. I think GVF is refreshing and (yeah, I’ll say it lol) reinventing classic rock to bring it to the modern day for people in my generation. Love them.

I agree with you that Highway Song to me was, “whoa, what the heck is this & I like it”. It was the hook. But I actually rarely listen to that album anymore. I find so many fairly current bands that I listen to, within their body of work, I keep going back to their first album as my favourite. Which is a little sad to me, so the fact that this is only GVF’s 2nd album and it has already shot way beyond the 1st album gives me hope. Josh’s voice is really evolving. Keep listening to their latest album. This is GVF coming into their own. When you lost your train of thought- I think you were headed towards the fact that when they put out their first album half the band were in their mid-teens! The Battle at Garden’s Gate is a phenomenal album. I hear so many influences. This album brings this weathered concert major joy. Keep listening and dig deeper than the “most played”. FYI for weeks now I wake up with Jussy’s Girl in my head. What an awesome tribute to DL! And see you again when you are back in Toronto!🇨🇦

GVF just copies certain aspects of the songwriting without actually capturing what made the originals magic. it's like... a few steps above watching train cover led zeppelin. i can enjoy watching a GVF show but it really pales compared to the material they are basing themselves on.

I really like your videos Justin! I totally agree with you concerning GVT‘s first album (from the fires) that the Led Zeppelin influence is overly present. But at the time of this video they have released already two other albums in which a development towards their personal style is very noticeable. The riffs are a bit different, Josh’s palette of singing techniques broadened, etc. Especially, those southern rock / blues influences really became more prominent. I think you should check out some newer songs from them, like “watching over“ from the second album or “age of machine“ from their current record. I think you might really like them!

Hey Justin. Saw you live for the first time, some years back in Boca Raton, Florida. I was working the show as a local stage hand. It was a great show. Years later I went and got my CDL and became a truck driver. Been in every continental U.S. state. Now I have combined the two and became a tour truck driver. Based out of Nashville. In a few days I start a 3 month tour with Greta Van Fleet. Looks like I'll be hauling their video. Even though I have heard of them, I really haven't heard any of their music. Everyone tells me they compare to Led Zeppelin. I have also been told not to mention that to the band. Whether they don't like it or they're just tired of hearing about it. I'm glad I came across your channel. I think I'll binge-watch (listen) all your shows when I get out on the road. Not only to pass the time, but also I am very much interested in hearing more of what you have to say. I hope someday our paths cross again. As you know, in this industry, anything is possible.

I fully understand the critisisms and the need for originality. On the other hand the main reason that I liked Greta Van Fleet AND the Darkness when I first heard them, was that they were bringing back the vibe of a particular kind of hard rock that was killed by grunge when I was just a teen. Record companies wanted the next Nirvana and suddenly high vocals, elaborate guitar solos and theatricality were out of the window. By the late 90's came a wave of brit pop where everybody sounded like a cat meowing under a constant ''nianianianiania'' guitar scratching. Then by early to mid 00's everybody sounded like rejects from a Korn/Limp Bizkit audience. The original hard rock sound was gone and surprisigly to the record company big cheeses, alot of people out there missed it. Not only ''old'' people, but also younger ones that never had the chance to experience it without feeling like necromancers or archaeologists.

I gotta disagree. Sure you can’t see a lot of the greats live, but you can still get a feel for the live shows from recordings of them posted on KZbin. I got into rock just a few years ago in college, and I sure as hell didn’t feel like an archaeologist; quite the contrary. It’s all new to me, because for me it was happening for the first time. I had the same sense of discovery and wonder as a kid hearing a forbidden record play on the turntable in the 70s. It was actually harder coming to terms with the fact that those young heroes are actually senior citizens nowadays or just outright dead (I still try not to dwell on that). It’s one thing to be more 70s/80s-inspired. I’m totally down with that. It’s entirely another to be a soulless carbon copy of one very specific mega-star group of the era. Ask yourself this, would you be giving them a pass if they had actually come out in the 70s? It was a great time for rock/heavy metal, and you had TONS of diverse sounds. Even if you dig through the hundreds of now obscure/forgotten rock bands of the decade, I think you will be very hard pressed to find even a single recording that sounds as similar to the Zep as GVF do. (Not that plagiarism in company is plagiarism justified. It’d still be wrong, regardless.)

All very valid points you make Justin. I was a non believer after the first album for the very reasons you stated. It wasn't until I watched Live At Red Rocks that I saw really how solid the musicianship was. A lot of long jams which a shitty band would not have been able to pull off. I was shocked really. And so I bought the new album and absolutely love it from start to finish. They are bringing classic rock back to a whole new generation and for that reason alone, I wish them the best.

I watched a video where they are in a record store buying albums and they speak of all their influences which are really varied. They actually do have a lot of different records, more than enough really. Their father is a musician and exposed them to lots of great different kinds of music, so while their first album and their stage shows don't show it, they do have a lot more they can build upon. They have an eclectic taste which has yet to show in their own music but I imagine after a while it will come to the surface.

I have loved Greta Van Fleet from the start. They have been an amazing group all along. I’m so proud of these young men, because they are from MI. They are so individually talented. I’ve watched a lot of interviews and early performances, have loved all their videos, and think they are the best rock band to come along in decades. I’m a Boomer, which more than likely makes a difference in how I view them as musicians. I’ve never thought of them as Led Zeppelin redux, mainly because they are not and never have been Led Zeppelin. They brought back a genre of rock that had been missing for many decades. I would love to see them in concert. Josh’s voice, the brothers’ guitar playing, and their drummer all bring so much to the stage. I think they are brilliant and extremely talented.

The genre was never missing. The music has always been there. But a blatant sub par LZ clone hasn't. Even wolfmother, who I'd compare them to vocally was around in the early 2000s. Since then the black keys, tame impala, the sword, church of the cosmic skull, black pistol fire, all them witches, king gizzard and the lizard wizard being the most popular. Still there are tons of less successful bands that have been playing rock n roll far better than gvf. They seem to be the band for people who don't really listen to music aside from what's on the radio.

They don't seem terribly fond of Highway Tune from what they've shared in interviews. They say they can't believe a song without a chorus got that big. Some if these reactions seem to be reacting more to the fan base than the band. They def are evolving. Battle at Garden's Gate shows a lot of growth in finding their own sound. Sam, the bass player knows he's not as up to par with rhe rest, but he's closing in quickly as he experiments and learns. I'm over the narrative they are a tribute band. I see loads of potential from these kids and it's exciting to see Rock n Roll in the mainstream again. Keep your eyes on these guys. They come from a musical family, and may be harkening back to Led Zep's influences (blues) more so than LZ itself. Counter Tenors are rare and iften sound quite similar.

Anyone with ears can hear the inklings of explosive musical technicality even on their debut, with GVF it's a whole lot of riffs, structures and lyrics we've been hearing for 50+ years (time also hasn't done then many favors).

I was introduced to GVF by Laurie in 2017, and you’re right - their immediate appeal was “Wow, this guy’s voice is insane - and hey! They sound like Led Zepp!” which meant their first album was in rotation for a bit, but then it lost its uniqueness a bit. Their more recent stuff has definitely progressed, which I think will do them good in the long run. For bands that you haven’t listened to much of, I’d actually be really interested in seeing you make your critique as you listen to their latest album or single and get a sort of ‘live reaction’ to the music.

Others have mentioned the obvious Rush influence, and this is something I've thought all along. There is a huge nod to Rush not just in their musical styles but their lyrical content as well, going all the way back to their first EP. They've always sung about things like politics or climate issues, and they wrap it in mystical, mythical lyric imagery. I would almost categorize GVF as something of a new era of progressive rock. These guys are what rock should be: loud, grandiose (in a good way), and fun as hell. I saw them in Chicago a few months ago for my 40th bday. They sound fantastic live and put on a phenomenal show.
