Tommy Boy Reacts: Greta Van Fleet - Heat Above

[@TommyBoyDetroit]

I wish people would pay better attention to what I said. At no point did I say anything negative about the band. I reiterated what other critics have said about them in the past. I happen to enjoy the band and have gladly listened to how they’ve matured as artists. Anyone taking my goodnatured jokes about things like “how tight are his pants, his voice went up another half-octave”… get over yourselves, they’re called jokes. Two years later and some of you still have no sense of humor.

[@marisolmanzano2041]

Its his voice, listen to his live, this guy have a wide vocal range..I love this band!!

[@cvsean]

I'm 55 years old. Grew up in the 70s. It is refreshing to see such young talent bring back the 70s rock sound so well. I'm so impressed. Heck of a lot better than garbage music of today. Thank you GVF!!! God has truly blessed you all. Can't wait for the next release.

[@az_frontier_8476]

I couldn’t agree more I hate all the crap people release today just to make money these guys are doing it because they truly love the music, and you can tell. No band has sounded this good in years, and I hope it encourages others to start bringing the rock and roll back. It has true meaning whereas the stuff today is about girls, boys, drugs, death, and sex. I don’t care how much money you spend. Sing about something real!

[@Giannaslay970]

Vocal coaches have stated that he has complete control and does not have to force it at all.

[@melissacurtis7216]

He really needs to take care of his vocal cords. That voice is one in a million. Reminds me of the greatest vocalist of all time Freddie Mercury.

[@mikegoodlock7821]

Josh’s voice is great! Nobody has made me feel this good since the great Freddie Mercury !

[@catmiuuu]

I feel the same way!!! His voice sounds legendary already

[@melissacurtis7216]

Me either. In 5 or 10 years his vocals will be in prime condition. Can't wait to hear him sing then. He don't have Freddie's Charisma but come on.....were talking about the greatest vocalist of all time...the great Freddie fucking Mercury. RIP Freddie. But this kid is the best rock vocalist I've heard in 35 years.

[@bullymaguire5838]

@@melissacurtis7216 have to say josh maybe not have freddy natural charisma but seeing him on stage is a sight to behold. It's just beautiful

[@justinhowell8873]

I bought tickets to the Metallica show in Atlanta last Month and these guys opened up for them…..my newest favorite band!!! AMAZING!!!!!

[@debbiemadden8396]

Just saw them in concert. Best band ever. We need more bands like them Bands that really play instruments and don’t use auto tune! They are genius!

[@Staboogie777]

They have a mix of all past rock Gods, and all past rock Gods sounded like old school blues etc etc etc. they are amazing and talented young men. Can you imagine them in 5-10 yrs?? 😲😲😲♥️♥️

[@janiceheavin7066]

GVF ARE OUTSTANDING! I'm so happy we have music that we can feel again

[@TommyBoyDetroit]

I agree

[@sherriemihelitch9669]

All of these guys have SO much talent!!!!!!! Please, listen to more of the new album! LOVE them!!!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@longcastle4863]

Masterpiece in song writing and performance.

[@ltm28]

This song makes me cry LOL I don’t know why ... but in a good way

[@Giannaslay970]

Me too! Every single time

[@LCro958]

Wow! Best vocals out there. Love GVF. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion I guess.

[@gelmanmegan1211]

Or he is awesome. Which he is. They are all awesome

[@dylancole1910]

I feel like the difference here is that sure, it's still clearly influenced by Zepplin and similar artists.. but the way he's using his voice seem to use the growl sparingly in his songs and the pitching his tone and range up and down in that yodel-y thing kind of gives me an indie rock vibe. They definitely have come into their own as far as developing a slightly more original sound. And yes, I think in some songs he does adopt a higher pitch, it gives it a pleasant effect when he drops it back down consistently. He's flaunting his range in a different way than he did before and it makes the finished product sound so cool. 😄

[@allig6467]

Never listened to rock music before, thought I didn't like it. Greta definitely changed that

[@tazzz1783]

''The weight of dreams'' is the song they will be remembered for 50 years from now

[@michaeloconnell8670]

That song is incredible

[@laraegonzalesingoditrust]

I love Greta Van Fleet,my favorite band:)

[@45vixxen]

I dont get all the haters, I love their sound!!

[@TommyBoyDetroit]

The haters come with the territory. Much like some of the comments on this video. I think they’re a great band and I’m glad to see they’ve got past all the negative comparisons.

[@cowboyone]

The new album sounds nothing liknothing like Led Zeppelin so everyone needs to just chill out and enjoy their music

[@relaxlibrary1088]

[@tonidavis5743]

They are fabulous! I love his voice and it’s great to hear some real rock and roll again.

[@Zerkclash]

Built By Nations sounds a bit more like their old stuff, while clearly emphasizing their improvements.

[@Carol-zp6jh]

BBN is a ROCKER, and I like it more every time I play it!

[@yvonnesaunders550]

You might find some of the other songs on the record more to your liking. Josh is in the rafters when he sings, but this song is a vocal showcase. (And we love it!) But all their songs have a unique, individual vibe. I recommend Age of Machine off of the Battle. Or go look at their newest album 'Starcatcher', and start with Holding Up the Falling Sky. 😉❤️

[@carmensandiego7749]

He's really taken more lessons on using his mixed voice and how to protect his voice.

[@Giannaslay970]

listen to Broken Bells and he reaches even higher! lol

[@mlehook4859]

That are consistently so much better live.

[@bigJayCanada]

Question Tommy Boy. What is your background and or experience with music and or video creation? Just asking.

[@nairlima798]

Greta van fleet é uma otima banda... Eu gosto muuuito

[@redzwestisbest]

this particular song is an older song that could have gone on the previous album. Think they said in recent reviews that it was written and/or recorded 5 years ago. Not sure if vocals/music were re-recorded for this album. Josh's vocals are so piercing that it overshadows some songs for better or for worse. This song for better.

[@Carol-zp6jh]

They wrote it 5 years ago, pulled it off the shelf, rewrote parts, put music to it and Josh's voice SOARS! Gorgeous tune and vid!

[@michaelsmith5021]

His voice is improving. He has had a vocal coach working with him. It's a great song IMO and they sound like Zeppelin right? Lmao

[@shooshatowers8059]

Not enough cowbell for you, hmm?

[@TommyBoyDetroit]

I gotta have the cowbell!!!

[@bigJayCanada]

same octave same voice

[@CommonSenseNow223]

music is awesome even if the duds fall far short...
