A proper band, indeed! And an extraordinary analysis. Well worth the workaround and re-edit.
Great analysis Fil , Greta has a winner with this song & hopefully the whole album, hard to believe they are this tight when live, thanks again Fil !
I’m so sick of people saying he’s trying to sound like Robert Plant. You can’t “ try” to have a voice like that. You’re born with it. Also it’s different than Plant’s. Some people may like the sound of his voice, some may not. That’s a matter of taste. Personally I like his lower register better, and I like his “yodel” roll (Plant didn’t really do that). Josh is undeniable talented. Same with the rest of the band. Jake is great on the lead guitar, Sam is a talented bassist and also plays keyboards, and Danny is really growing on the drums. I’ve seen them live and I can promise you, their sound is not “studio” produced and the song writing are their own originals. I think quite a few of todays artists can’t say the same. So happy there is a young rock band that is filling decent sized venues. Saw them at the Greek Theater in L.A. where they sold out two nights in a row, and the fans were very enthusiastic and were from all age groups. Got introduced to them by a friend who happened to see them at Coachella a few years ago, and he said they were the talk of Coachella. I agree they look a little weird, I don’t like the costumes. But I guess people may have said the same about other rock people in the past (think Freddie Mercury, Elton in some of his get-ups). And no I’m not saying Greta is in the same league- but I’m just saying that makes me be able to look past the funny outfits and listen to the music. They are so young- looking forward to many more years of growth and good music from Greta.
Your analysis is amazing! Thank you so much for breaking it all down for us. This band keeps getting better and it's gratifying to hear a talent like yourself, praising them for what they do. So many tear them down, but you have such a great attitude about them and really understand all that goes into their playing and Josh's vocals. I've always enjoyed watching your vids and hope you bring more analysis of GVF tunes our way! 😊☮️
Thanks for the kind words!
Yay our Michigan! 🎶🎸✨
Love that you did this video!🤘 Greta Van Fleet's music is so good. Really enjoying their new album. Your videos are cool.🎸
You are sitting on top of the mountain with these videos, you make sense, accuracy, insight and ability, for me therapeutic and enjoyable, thankyou
Love how You work around copy rights blocks. You are a excellent teacher and explainer. 👍
Amazing band and great analysis mate👌👌👌
I play a bunch of their songs on guitar, my way soon and trip the light fantastic are the new ones I'm having fun jamming lately. I love classic rock and zeppelin so I'm all smiles with their good stuff.😁
You're Great Fil, we love our Guys, their Music has made me Actually love Rock again.
Love this great sound of GVF - Thanks Fil
Their Candlelight Live Session of Broken Bells I think will go down in rock-n-roll history. You should check it out.
This is a young band with a great following. I’ve enjoyed everything they’ve put out and I’m no youngster.
Same here
Love Greta Van Fleet! But I've had this ongoing battle: my head couldn't separate how much they sounded like" that other" famous band, yet my heart loved everything I heard. Fil, you've help me resolve that once and for all. I agree, Greta Van Fleet is a proper band. Love, love the drums here!! 👍
Cindy Powers
Nice comment Cindy 👍
Yes, same battle. Resolved when I realized "this is how this generation will learn about 'the other band'.
Just heard a reaction to Sonny Boy Williamson, who, definately gave LZ a basis for their sound. I'm just glad the young people are looking back to the best.
@@drewpall2598 Hi Drew! 😊👍
@@factsoverfiction7826 That's for sure!
So sad that this originally got blocked, but glad you were able to get it back up! LOVE these guys! Another great analysis of their performance. 🤘
Was bummed! Rocking Riff! Thanks Fil, you seemed to enjoy it. Great analysis!
I should have said I was bummed it was blocked! Haha
You are incredibly generous with your analysis. I learned from it and I don't know anything about music OR guitars. Ha! Your obvious admiration for GVF is heart-warming. Kudos!
Good job Fil! One of yer best!
I live in Denmark and I couldn’t see it because the copyright blocked it. But I know the song, and it was a great analysis Fil. Thanks.
That was a fantastic Live Analysis! 🎸
Thank you, Fil 🖤🤘🏽
Whether you like them or not atleast they are actually singing and playing live. So many newer bands are playing alot of their studio mixes with their live performances making it seem cheap or fake. Today so much studio recording music in not just pop but in country music and rock music uses beat detective and autotune making the music IMO sound like more machine then humans in playing. Beat detective in Rick Beato's opinion takes the groove out of the music and also autotune takes the humanity out of music in his opinion as well. Hell some even autotune live. Beat detective and autotune are good if used just to correct minor mistakes but to use it entirely is over kill of this technology. Don't understand why people would want the drums to sound like a machine then actual real drums and don't understand why people go for this robotic pitch correction effect, autotune instead of using your real voice for an entire song which is often the case in pop music. Can't imagine Tom Petty autotuned for example because his natural voice is so unique and love hearing it raw and real even if some of these so called record producers will say that autotune can fix his flaws in the studio. I love the flaws because humans are naturally supposed to have these flaws. We aren't machines but apparently music is going in this direction with technology being overly used to correct these natural human flaws. I will take natural human flaws over this pitch correction robotic effect anytime in music.
And the bass line Sam's got it
Sweet vid, loved your playing. Looking great btw!
5:59 out comes the guitar for cool riff...
The has some queen vipes in this performance
If the haters got their way it would mean you could never have a band that "sounded like LZ" for eternity. I wish there was a band that "sounded like The Who" lol.
Led Zeppelin is one of the hater's desert island bands. Meaning, that they have been on a desert island since they first heard Zeppelin. These are the same kind of people that trashed Derek Trucks when he took over for Dicky Betts in the Allman Brothers (even though he was clearly every bit as skilled, if not better). The haters are also the people who constantly say that there is no-one making good music anymore. I am 60 years old and have not been this excited about new bands in almost 30 years .Greta Van Fleet are just barely not kids anymore, and clearly only go from strength to strength on their way to greatness.
@@scottmcgregor562 62 here and feel the same. Although I grew up in the Zeppelin era I never got into them like Who or the Stones but GVF is like a hot wire to my brain.
@@lewisnermy two favorite bands right now are Greta Van Fleet and Band Maid. If you have not checked them out yet, give them a look. They are an all female band from Japan. As their name implies they dress as maids and sing in Japanese. I know, I thought that they were all gimmick. There live performances are actually superior in most cases than their MVs. A good place to start is their live performances of Domination and their live instrumental Onset. Much of their music has a 70s hard rock vibe and their musicianship is outstanding.
I Love How You Explain Things,These Guys ,Well Kids To Me are Awesome,I Hope They Have Someone Who Manages This Band The Right Way..Fil Have You Ever Heard of Seduce.They Play alot of Detroit Metal ,They Were Huge in The 80's ,Just Wondered what you Thought of Dave Black,The Guitar Player,Only 3 piece Band.Great Video 🤘🖤🙏✌
Awesome Fil this song is really something you don't hear from any bands these days this album should win Grammy after Grammy just maybe rock makes a comeback
I find it interesting how those who call GvF (or any other band, for that matter) a Led Zeppelin rip-off band, often seem to be the ones lamenting that "Music like that just isn't made anymore".
Personally, I find that there are a few places in Josh's lower register (if you can call it that 😀) where there's an uncanny likeness to Robert Plant. But I fail to see how being somewhat similar to someone else should bar you from performing. That's a very narrow-minded attitude. If that's how you feel, you are perfectly within your rights to not listen, but I fail to see the value of announcing it to the public. It's not like bands like Greta van Fleet will cause Led Zeppelin to fade into obscurity...
Time is the final arbiter of what can stand on its own merits.
Time time is an arbiter 50 years almost since they did anything that's a 1/2 century
Always learning on this Channel!❤️
That 61 model the tone is killer
The Battle At Garden's Gate is a great album. What a shame that part of this analysis was blocked. Copyright can be a bit heavy handed and unwarranted at times. Love the little tips. It's great that the entire guitar can be seen in the video, not just a portion so it's clear what is being played. With my campfire grade acoustic playing, I'm nowhere near as good at the ear training to know what is being played by just listening. Unlike some insane people including Rick I-know-what-riff-they-will-use-before-the-song-even-properly-starts Beato. :-D That may be easy for many people, but certainly not for beginners.
Plus mentioning what gear is used is not always done in the analysis/tutorial videos. Very nice.
Interesting notion about "safe rasp" at the beginning of the video. It would be cool to see videos that aim at this topic. Some singers have problems after belting, growling, shrieking without a proper safe technique. Especially death metal and black metal singers should obviously know what they are doing. But it's not just more extreme metal. I have seen an interview with Sebastian Bach where he talked and sounded like a cartoon character. I have heard rumours about singers like Jonas Renkse and Magali Luyten having problems with their voices because of the unsafe use of those techniques, but I don't know how much truth is in those rumours. Jonas Renkse supposedly cannot growl anymore, but I have heard him use a great sounding growl in Ayreon 01011001 album, specifically in The Sixth Extinction song, so that rumour seems to be false? I don't know about Maggy Luyten. Supposedly, she cannot sing clean anymore? That would be shame, as much as I love her rasp that sounds like a child of Janis Joplin and R.J. Dio.She is one of my favourite female rock singers (Beautiful Sin, Nightmare, Virus IV). In the more recent live performance (Ayreon live), she didn't sound completely clean, but she could regulate just how much rasp she had in each song and she played a character originally sang by Russell Allen, so maybe it was just an artistic choice? The same may go for Jonas Renkse, Katatonia has a specific sound and he is supposed to blend in. IDK.
Great analysis, you pointed out some things I never fully noticed%
I watch so many of your reactions because of how present you are with everything you put on the channel. It's consistently respectful expertise across an incredible range of material. (You make my love of music smarter love.) 🤣🤣🤣 This might be my all-time favorite, because of your rather speedy 🤣🤣🤣enthusiasm. (Yup, sorry, but it's the happy, almost burbly, speed of your commentary that tickles me.) I'm embarrassingly new to Greta van Fleet, but, just for the record, I think own a bit of them, because I'm from Michigan as they are. Absolutely love the band. Absolutely love this commentary
Thanks!
Your set-up sounds real nice. I wish I knew why I like it so much. Is it the harmonics? It sounds clean. I suspect you understand very well how the ear and brain interpret sound.
Glad Fil dear that we have moved on - I am still so furious with Justin Hawkins -They are an extraordinary tight and forever evolving band -Nice to see this - cheers Fil
They remind me of a great band like Led Zeppelin but unique. Sucks that UA-cam prevents you from playing thier music 🎶
Never heard of them. Style similar to Rush. Would like to hear his lower register more often. Tight band.
Yeah that's one of my only criticisms of this band, I enjoy them alot but Josh needs to tone down the vocals a bit, because he does have a good voice even in his lower register. It just gets a bit frustrating when every song he's either screaming or singing very high aha.
@@bendobbing7015 David lee Roth was that way
Great sound.❤️
Excellent work!!! Thanks!
Thank you aswell!!!
I get tired of people saying they are LZ rip-offs. Isn’t LZ still in court for supposedly ripping off some dudes work
Wow riffing 🔥🔥🔥💥🤩🤙🏽 best analysis and riffing 💥
Fantastic ! Thank you.
Ruddy Bum Guff! Blocked again! I was fortunate enough to see the live analysis. The copywrite holders seem oblivious to the fact that you are introducing potentially thousands of viewers to a "new" band. They have much to gain and nothing to lose by letting you educate and entertain your viewers. After the analysis, I picked up my guitar and practiced with renewed enthusiasm. I hope to one day be proficient enough to play along as you demonstrate chords and riffs. Keep on rockin'.
I know Jake didn't know how to read music back in the day and I don't know if he knows (or cares) about the technical terms you use - he just seems to know it instinctively where the note is on the fretboard that he is looking for.
It's funny Mary Ford played one just like it
This singer reminds me of Robert Plant, even down to his hand movements.
Fil, I enjoy your videos and have watched a lot of them. I have a request for a song that I would love to hear your take on. Devo; Satisfaction on Saturday Night Live (1978)
Have you had a chance to analyse Steve Vai's one-handed guitar piece "Knappsack"? That man can even get something positive out of major surgery!
Take a look at Bob Brozman. Controversial figure, but he's a phenomenal guitarist. No one on UA-cam has reacted to his songs.
Hi Phil. Where do we send suggestions for videos we'd like to see you analyze or react to? I didn't know if it was in comments here or via Twitter or or what.
Here is fine!
I'll have to look more into them but am enjoying your analysis videos. Have you done Bert Jansch yet or Dave Bixby?
Not yet!
I had no Idea..... when the singer started singing I thought it was a woman. I'm impressed.
I was looking on ou Tube and came across a band that as trying to imitate Greta Van Fleet. They did a pretty good job, but it seems they use a lot of material that they don't give credit to the originals. Those guys should try to be more like GVF and really have their roots in classic rock and blues while sounding like themselves. And the guitar player sure could have worked on his little finger technnique. That's what impressed me about GVF and you Fil, is that you can use that little finger at will.
There is a neurological problem that can weaken the little finger, and a simple pressure on a bone in the wrist can help that. As I've said, if you want to do a video about maintaining hands and wrists in good shape for guitar players could be a good idea on your channel.
❤️🙏🎶
👏👏👏👌👌👌👌🎸🎸💯✔👊🤘
Greta is amazing 😻
Good rock band but immediate thought of a cross between led and bon.
That was hard to follow. But I gotta say. Jake is using a shit ton of double stops. Those "copyright violations" were a pain in the ass though. Personally, my style of playing leans in this direction naturally so I don't have to over-analyze it. I can just do it. I flow that way.
Admittedly, I'm a baby boomer who grew up on Led Zeppelin. Having said that, GVF sucks 🤔😝😂
😅
@@wingsofpegasus Actually, their musicianship is good, at least they're a rock band. But that lead singer doesn't quite remind me of Robert Plant. 🙄😂
I'm a baby boomer that was a huge Led Zeppelin fan, saw them in 1970. I love Greta, great musicians and a ton of potential to be even hetter. Josh's vocals are higher than Plant, and his styling is different. In their early 20s, they already have a huge fan base.
@@billzimmerman5464 admittedly, my exposure to GVF is limited. However, they lack what most bands and solo artists lack today. They have no soul and no feel for the blues. The lead singer has no swag appeal like Robert Plant. Few did lol. Their musicianship is ok, but again there's no Jimmy Page playing guitar. The only good thing I can say about GVF is at least they're a throwback to the glory years of guitar centered bands with a lead singer. It's rare today. Musicianship and songwriting seems to be a lost art.
The Lead Singers voice is RIDICULOUS! You can’t tell me that is his “Normal Voice”! Sounds like he is screaming more often than not! Greta Van Fleet is nothing more than a “Cover Band”!
I disagree!! He doesn't sound like Robert plant anymore, Plant doesn't even go as high as Josh does, you're waffling. They are a proper band
It took a minute to get hooked onto his voice for me, but then it was gutsy. All their material is original from what I understand.
A cover band sings other people's songs. Not one song on their new album is a cover song.
@@carolharvey9967 there ya go!
So which one is it? They are merely a covers band, or his voice is different?
There terrible terrible terrible
A talented band for sure, but trash because they are just ripping off Led Zeppelin, vocally and musically. Their new stuff is more original, but unfortunately not as good as the previous work. They are, for me, in a lose/lose situation
I think they just sound similar, but not ripping them off. Josh's voice isn't an imitation, that's his voice 🙂
@@wingsofpegasus that’s fair to say. Sounding similar to a top three band of all time has advantages, but is also a dangerous path.
@@wingsofpegasus exactly. When they were barely teenagers because John had that voice, they were pushed to do Zep tributes. That’s the gigs they got. As they grew up, they got better at their instruments. Their original material is promising if not great. The youngest brother gets better and better. Both do ( he and Josh’s twin). Been watching them grow for some years. Wish Josh found another way to not look like his twin than by perming his hair. Sometimes their clothes miss the mark. But as they grow musically as serious musicians I am optimistic things will gel.
They might be good but they are always going to be a poor copy of a proper band
