I'm so proud of those kids, and they really are still kids. They're not even 25 yet and they have such a passion and knowledge for classic rock and essential music and albums from a time that their parents were probably young children. They didn't become a boy band they became a kickass rock band. We need more youth like this to bring real music back. Well done Greta Van Fleet! 🤘🤘

[@ivanj.conway9919]

Exactly Stingray. Too many shit, asshole, pricks are shitting on these KIDS, expecting things from them as if they were in their friggen, 60s or something, when they are STILL, KIDS, as you say.

[@jonathanryals9934]

The singer credits his vocal style to Stephen Tyler of Aerosmith... sorry, but that's kinda lame not to mention Plant. The band would stand a way better chance of me warming up to them if they just owned up to it. The band showing off all their favorite albums is a total joke. John Denver? Cat Stevens? C'mon! Not even mentioning Led Zep makes them seem like a total RIP to the point they are infringing the copyright.

Enough of the Zeppelin talk people. These kids are more educated in music than most people EVER will be in their lifetime. How many 22 & 19 year olds do any of you know that would have even known of any of those albums they picked out?

[@anirose6807]

Jim Jackson lol a ton of kids. This is GREAT music and is appreciated by all, literally any young musician knows The Beatles, John Denver and Elvis

[@joelkeane3160]

Jim Jackson that might be true. But the point remains that they have made every attempt to sound like one particular band. If I listen to their stuff it is impossible to hear any of the influences they discuss here. You can’t say that Greta Van Fleet are a 70s revival band. Instead they are Led Zeppelin cover band without the covers. I appreciate that they may indeed have a wide influence base, but perhaps it’s time to show that on the records they release in the coming years.

[@FevuhhHD]

Yes, they're very educated as they know about a couple of genres of music, much wow, very cool

[@juu366]

Knowing rock bands of the past isn't educated in music. I'm around the same age as they are and every kid has had that "my generations music sucks" phase, including myself. When I was 13 I would listen to a ton of Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin etc. and some earlier 60's rock.

[@st0n3ymontana]

[@jaffacake8035]

Why is there so much jealous hate here? They have been bought up surrounded by music, mostly on vinyl. They absolutely love music, you can see that whenever the subject is about music. There seems to be so much insecurity shown by some of the comments on here just because they are all nice looking.

[@jessdayz9810]

Yep. The worst of the hate comments on here are by the people saying they don’t know anything about music or the music they are picking out , essentially calling them posers. Annoying. If anyone actually took the time to research the band more than just reading what the pretentious hipsters at Pitchfork said , you’ll find out that they grew up on their parents vinyl collection. Music was always around them growing up. They aren’t getting into the industry for money, sex , drugs, power (those artists that do are the real posers). They are judging a book by its cover.

[@jaffacake8035]

Jess Dayz I find there are many ignorant comments made about them on a lot of the comments sections of YT. If people would listen to some of their interviews, they would realise they are genuine, they are not “manufactured”, or posers.

Jake- two of his picks were in every home. Meh, but! I would fight him for that Jimmy’s blues album. 3. Sam- Leave it to him to find some unique choices. Let me tell there is some crazy lp’s floating around and I have a knack for finding them. 4. Danny- I think he’s the George Harrison of the group. As a grownup he has become my favorite musician. I think Dan is the one who has yet to find his own voice, but he’s young and on a great path. FYI, I’m a teacher who has nurtured artists who actually work in their field of study. ✌🏻

[@photographerjonathan]

wow there is actually a big record store left somewhere. when I was 17 in high school many years ago, there was a record store across the street from my school. I used to go into it all the time and buy used albums for a dollar each. I miss those days, and I miss being 17, and I miss the 70's, GVF truly love this older music, so it is natural for them to create music influenced by what they listen to. but now new bands are going to come out trying to sound like GVF or like the 60's and 70's, even though they don't listen to the bands from that era. but either way I am hoping allot of young people will be influenced into listening to the many great bands of the 60's and 70's. hands down the best era in music, and hopefully we will see some more cool rock bands come out soon.

[@kaylamorgan9223]

photographerjonathan I compleatly agree with you but who knows. Maybe GVF talking about older music from the 60s and 70s will encourage kids these days to listen to that style of music and then the next generations people will already know. I'm pretty young and love 60s and 70s music. My favorites are The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Aerosmith, Bon Jovi and Rush!
