- You know Hearing Greta Van Fleet for the first time is totally awesome. This song is called "Age of the Machine".
This dude had never heard of Greta before, so I introduced him. It is always so fun to introduce someone. I think I have heard 5 of their songs and every single song I have heard I have absolutely loved.
Age of the Machine did not let me down.....it started slow and capped with such energy. I cannot wait for the next one.

When I saw them it was 75 percent people in their 20's .
So are 75% of concert goers.
Thats good news.
Just saw them live. I'm 65. Danced and sang like I was 17 again, so, so talented. A magic evening. ❤
Yes I am thinking about "renting" a kid so I have an excuse to go to a live concert at 66.
if you hate on Greta your ears are broken. HEAR IT. Its AMAZING Music
To comment on what you said about the age groups, you’ll see 18 year olds standing next to 50 and 60 year olds, something about them is just so captivating
Not to mention their real life personalities… they’re just downright entertaining as hell!😄
They all grew up only listening to their parents vinyl records & they love that era! Their fan base age is all over the place! PLEASE, continue to share these great talented guys! 🥰🥰GVF🥰🥰
Saw them a week ago for the first time in the pit!!!! Absolutely amazing and I’m 53!!!
You need to do a reaction to Weight of Dreams by Greta. Guitar solo is insane
Agree - that solo is extraordinary.
Yes and react to the live version at red rocks
Seeing it live is absolutely absurd 🤯 I’m still recovering
@@kburdy agree it was epic saw em in Toronto
Oui cette chanson est superbe ! 👍🤘🤘🤘
Zeppelin, Queen, Uriah Heep, Rush, UFO, Triumph, Zebra, Angel, and the list goes on of who these guys harken me back to. That's AWESOME!
love gvf!! i saw them last fall in chicago and there was a huge age range at that show. i'm 22, and i took my 13-year-old brother because they're one of his favorite bands. i also showed their music to my 79-year-old grandpa (who had a huge influence on my taste in music) and he loved them!
Playing songs from this band for friends and THEIR reactions: "Sounds like RUSH", "Sounds like Boston"; "Sounds like Triumph", and others. Fricking awesome band.
like "yes" "t rex" "jetro tull" like deep purple.....
Young and old at the concerts...I’ve seen whole families there. They are amazing live. A MUST see.
Just saw them live last night in Saginaw. Try and catch them live. I’m 49. They rocked it, loud and authentic.
i know this was a year ago but i just became aware of them recently. i actually got to see them a couple of weeks ago. i was amazed! they know how to put on a show and i dont even know much about the music. they really impress me. but what i wanted to tell you is that the younger generation does like this band. my 25 year old son introduced me and we saw them together. he loves them, i never heard of them now i get it! so i love watching reactions cuz everyone is always just blown away! they are something else! im so glad my son saw them on saturday night live and he was amazed and the biggest fan since. now i get it! so talented! great reactions! i dont think they try to sound like anyone, they just have that old school vibe. there’s no one like them! you both are smiling during the song and im smiling too! you cant help but smile! so awesome! so talented! im a little late to the game but im in! im a fan!
There’s nothing like a bass-heavy minor chord in rock. It always sets the tone.
I just read an article this morning about the boys from Frankenmuth, and how they were playing a local bar in their early teens.
They named themselves after a town elder, and she loved them, and their music.
Very exciting young band.
Highway tune and heat above are by far my favorites. Those are the true mind blowing vocals and their true sound.
You would not believe the range of people they attract at their shows! Just saw them in Kalamazoo & it was the best show I have been to in a very long time. (born in '74, by the way)
I saw them live a few months ago - i was impressed how many young people were at the show! Rock & Roll is alive and well!!!
Went to one of their concerts last month. Soooo good. It looked like it was split 50 -50 between older people and younger ones
Guys, guys! The guitarist and singer are identical twins and the bass/keys is the other brother. 8 to 80 are ages of the fans. They named the band after an elder from their hometown. Her name is Gretna VanFleet. They’ve been playing together since 2013 and their first recordings which were packaged as a double EP won Grammy album of the year for the rock category two years ago. You have to go further down the rabbit hole on this new album which solidifies their sound. Check out the candle light series of songs from their new album you will be blown away.
They really need to react to GVF Live! It be great if they could get Live at Red Rocks! GVF ROCKS OUT LIVE!
Not identical twins....fraternal
@@susannawadbrookwadbrook1679 No, they were correct, they're identical
@@BuckyBarnesAndNoble They are not identical twins. They're fraternal twins.
@@4Realzeaz Yes, they are lol. Josh said it himself, he and Jake are identical twins
This band is the real deal you know when a band is special it's just there
I'm 71 and I really like these guys a lot. They're scheduled for a show where I live in the fall but I don't want to spend $175 for the cheap seats though I know it'll be a kick ass concert. Their back story is great.
Seriously so worth the $$, just saw them in Michigan before the twins got sick.
Their fan base is across ALL ages!!
I’m 14 and I just went to their Kalamazoo concert! It was amazing. They are my favorite band 100%:)
My favorite band!!! I just saw them live in concert twice for their dreams in gold tour! (Grand Rapids and Saginaw shows) and let me tell ya… they were the most phenomenal concerts I’ve ever been to.
Went to their concert and it is both older people and younger people who have discovered them and love their music rock on Greta Van Fleet
There is no way these guys are copying anybody! That's real raw, rare talent folks! Unfreaking believably talented! Enjoy it and be blessed!
Best band out right now hands down.
It's nice to hear rock like this again. A lot of bands now days just do cleans in their vocals and it honestly is one of the biggest reasons rock is just meh or dead is some people's opinions because nobody is original anymore. GVF on the other hand just keeps getting better with each record. Don't sleep on this band.
I'm not the only one who claps when they get excited!! lol love it!!!
What a great introductory track to GVF for your friend. I'm obsessed with this particular video performance of it. It's all about the atmosphere, and the boys just sound fantastic. The way it was shot is reminiscent of something you'd see in The Midnight Special or The Old Grey Whistle Test.
Lead singer and guitarist are twins. Sammy is the baby brother on bass/ keys. Danny Wagner in drums is a best friend. I'm going to Knoxville TN in September for a show, I'm 44 and my 20 year old daughter is going too. All ages love this band. TikTok has blown them up in the past year
They're touring with Metallica and I can't wait to see them live. Love this band. Every album gets better. Coming into their own more.
I’m 14 and I just went to their Kalamazoo concert! It was amazing. They are definitely my favorite band:)
Congrats on finding your music taste so young! I'm 20 and I just now figured out my music taste (and I LOVE Greta Van Fleet too). If you love their music, try Led Zepplein or Lynryd Skynryd (they're old bands but Greta took some influences from them)
I requested GVF be played through a request line at my local Paducah, KY rock station WJLI. They replied that they won't play GVF but thanks for the request.
Rediculous....so strange!
Probably envious. It takes a lot of personality and self esteem to accept the fact that people can be so young and talented. It’s definitely a hard pull to swallow for some
It makes me happy that guys our age find so much joy in the pure quality, hard driving rock and roll that this band is relentlessly putting out!
I'm 59 and I'll be seeing them for the 4th time, next time at the New Orleans Jazz Festival, 2024. WOO!!
You should listen to the studio version of this song. There are so many layers to it, from a sound wall in the beginning that's reminiscent of Tibetan throat singing, to some awesome French horns in the outro. Definitely worth a listen. Also, you should see them live. There's nothing like hearing 18,000 people singing along with them!
Love you reactions!!! Going to see them in Oct in Allentown Pa! Saw them in Connecticut last year it was one of the best shows I have ever seen. The crowd was on their feet from start to finish!
Old guy, I love your reaction and face when Josh hits the high notes 🥰
I’m 23 and went to a Greta Van Fleet concert a couple weeks ago!
Just to clarify for you: Josh Kiszka "singer", Jake Kiszka "guitar" (josh & jake are twins), Sam Kiszka "bass/keys, Danny Wagner "drums". There are all ages attending their concerts. In some cases three generations attending together. They are quite popular.
Greta fans age from 3 or 4 years old or possibly younger all the way up to people ready to pass on, and from pretty much every country at this point. In fact, they’re just starting their Dreams in Gold tour right now in their home state of Michigan, and they’ll be going to Europe, Canada, South America, and all around the US. My sister and I are 61 and 64, and we’re seeing them in Hershey, PA in around 2 weeks then again in October. I recommend catching one of their live shows, you won’t regret it!
First time I heard these guys, I thought Robert Plant had a new album out I didn't know about, awesome band and worth listening to everything they've put out, so far..
Josh the vocalist and Jake the lead guitarist are twin brothers and are the older. Sammy is bass and keyboards. Danny is the drummer and is the same age as Sammy and were friends at school. They got their name when they heard the name of a woman in the town in Michigan whose name is Gretna Van Fleet. They asked permission to use her name dropping the 'n'.
There was a spate of reaction videos about Highway Tune, their first single when they were still in their teens. I can hear why people may have heard LZ vibes in there. Seriously though - Josh'sd vocals have NEVER reminded me of Robert Plant. Or anyone else. And I am very familiar with music from 70s. As soon as people start comparing you start to look for things to compare to. Elton John suggested they might want to play with their 'look' - which is awesome. Doesn't mean you put someone in a jumpsuit and automatically it is copying Freddie. Age of Machine was filmed like this because it is reflective of the lyrics of the song. What has happened to the planet. They and their fans, and I am so happy to be one, are members of the Peaceful Army - their songs are reflective of that.
Have you seen the Robert Plant interview, where he playfully says he hates GVF? It was totally in jest, and quite complimentary, of what his view of the band is.
GVF is definitely a breath of life to us "old folks" disgusted with a lot of "modern music"
Crazy I live an hour away from Frankenmuth! I just went to see them first time in Grand Rapids in the pit 20 feet from stage!! It was amazing ❤️
@@leahfe1004 As a member of the Peaceful Army I can't be jealous... great score for you - I am sure they were beyond amazing. One day I might get my turn!
Hmmmm...your beginning remarks are interesting - a lot of us older folks are actually super impressed by GVF - I haven't seen too many criticizing them. Also - they have evolved a LOT (though brilliant at 19!!!) and have developed their own sound for sure. Combo of Plant, Tyler, Geddy, and I could not be more thrilled!
I totally agree. I love these guys. But my first reaction to them I had our generation leaving comments of dissent. I think they will get over it though. That was just because of their first song "highway tune". People were just shocked by the similarities.
Some people have compared them to LZ, Guns ‘n Roses, Rush, and Josh to Robert Plant or Geddy Lee. Robert Plant was asked which new bands he liked, he responded Greta Van Fleet. When Elton John heard them for the first time he called them and asked them to perform at a charity concert he was arranging. A couple of pretty good endorsements I’d say. 😉
Fact that you can share an insight into your childhood and be like fun and excited and kid-like again is so beautiful honest and genuine. Love it mate. More power to you
Would love to see more. Esp from the recent album that’s coming
Notice the cords hooked into their instruments! Definitely old school!
Just saw your reaction to this one. I love Greta Van Fleet and enjoy when channels react to them. You should also check out "Weight of Dreams", "Lover, Leaver, Taker, Believer", "Edge of Darkness", "Broken Bells" just a few. I am one of the older people, and that is why I love them. They brought the sound I love back. They are not a cover band, all music is original. There are many songs that don't sound like Zeppelin. But as one of their influences you hear it. Even Zeppelin stole from Blues bands. All bands to an extent take from others in the past.
Keep watching GVF. Start at the beginning and you will see how far they have come. Btw, they are amazing live. Catch a show if you can.
Following in the steps of legends is not a crime
When u said his voice is literally one of the instruments !!!!!! Exactly! ✔️
josh..Lead singer ....Jake..lead guitar ...and Sam Keyboard./bass are the 3 brothers josh/jake are twins and sam is a couple of years younger the drummer is Danny Wagner . They are frigging awesome i just discovered them 5 Days ago and cant stop listening to them. and have ordered there albums on Vinyl.My new all time Fav band they are also coming to Glasgow next month i hopefully can still get tickets for the gig..keep on Rockin Lads.
The ONLY newer band I will listen to! Yes I'm 62 and a Zeppelin lover!
Do more of them please!!! They're amazing and they've got new songs.
i’m 16 and i can say there’s a lot of people in my generation that love them as well
I’m almost 60 and I adore them!❤
I do appreciate your videos. Introducing these young people to veteran listeners.
I’m 26 and fucking love them from growing up from parents era!!!
I’m 22 and saw them when they played in Charlotte this past October. The concert was MAGICAL. I’ve never heard anything like it! Absolutely none of my friends & family were familiar with Greta Van Fleet but I have been slowing turning them into fans lol
I knew this band sounded like Led Zepplin but I can also hear some Deep purple and Pink Floyd with the organ and guitar and the voice of course. Especially "The Great Gig in the Sky" by Pink Floyd and "Child in Time" by Deep purple. I also agree theres some Freedy Murcury going on and maybe some Elvis lol. not really. Another band Greta have been compared to is WolfMother especially "White Unicorn".
Weight of dreams just won best guitar solo of the CENTURY. please please please react to the live version!!!
Speaking of unbelievably talented.... YOU are offering a gift, a blessing to humanity with your highly intuitive and educated takes on all these different bands. Everytime you play piano effortlessly to demonstrate a concept or emulate what you hear, I remember how talented and skilled you are and how selfless your channel is. Much Love ❤ from one musician to another.
Anyone who likes GVF needs to see them live! They put on a great show! I've seen them twice. BTW, I'm 58 and don't listen to very much music from this century. I love these guys!!!!!
You have to react to the live version of weight of dreams (Black Flag Exposition at Red Rocks). It is mind blowing. 🤯
If u take greta van fleet and listen to this and then put a led zepp song mext to it u will hear the difference and u will be able to appreciate greta for standing on the shoulders of rock legends and still making their own music and sound
I was not a fan of the first album. I blame the record company for trying to hard to make it sound like zeppelin. Even the mix was very zeppelin. The second album had sone good moments. But this last album is their breakout album. This is their sound now and they are maturing as musicians.
This --> 🙌🏻
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
There are no bands or instruments being played today, everything is the same and not talented ppl actually playing, singing and creating real music…Its all “beats” and “ tracks.”
The famous bands of the 70's paid homage to the music they grew up listening to. It's music evolution.
When I went to their concert last year I was 21 the majority of people there were my age
😂 Nope! People there from all ages. 40’s, 50’s, 60’s! I’ve just turned 71. And was going to Sacramento for my 8th concert
Their name is a play on Gretna Van Fleet, a local 93 year old blue grass player and pillar of the community.
i can just imagine what they would sound like 5 or so years from now
Absolutely love, love, love this band, they are so passionate and they are evolving with every album.
Josh's vocals are always on point especially when they are live.
I don't care if they are compared to older greats, as I think they are now in a league of their own and they're only going to improve with age.
I grew up in the 60's listening to my parents 45's and LP's of rock n roll, pop, soul and I've loved all music ever since, but these boys are something else. Long live GVF
2 other bands you might like with great vocals, guitars and song writing are Icelandic band Kaleo and from GB The Kris Barras Band
Seeing them in November….CANNOT WAIT
Where were you going to go see them? I was going to Sac. Can’t wait till they reschedule 🥰
@@terribongers2465 we saw them in OKC on the 4th, INCREDIBLE live!! It was the best performance I have seen in a long time!
They are Amazing 🎶🎶🎶
Love you Granny Haze!!
Perfectly said. 4:32.
Beautiful reaction, thanks from Italy 🤟🏻🇮🇹👍🏻
Time Machine… yes! Both Josh and Jake our IDENTICAL TWINS!!
Totally missing Rush! Plus the sound is totally due to the Hammond 8 organ!
I don't hear LZ at all. More like Rush. And it really doesn't matter they are awesome and although there are hints of classic bands. I hear a lot of originality and true talent.
Just stumbled upon this reaction ... great job! Your analysis of this band makes me think you'd enjoy a new video from a different sort of group. Try the song "1987" by Steel Panther. Just as Greta Van Fleet makes you think of the 60's and 70's ... Steel Panther somewhat does the same but for the 80's ... and this new song just nails it.
I LOVE THIS SOUND!
GVF saving new music 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Pleaseeee you need to react to "The weight of dreams". It will blow your mind!!
you should react to "The weight of dreams" it's one of my favs songs of them and it got an INCREDIBLE guitar solo!!!♥
Much better production. Awesome ! Quick aside , Have you done Leon Russel or Joe Cocker ?
You said it well. They listened to the music their parents listened to decided to make music that sounds like that. Yeah his voice sounds very much like Plant but who cares. They are only 2 albums in to their career, maybe in 2 albums time they moved more in their own direction while keeping the 70s vibe alive.
I’ve been wondering if the older generation would be digging Greta. Has to be true. I’m 29 and I’m have tickets to them in Fargo, ND in September. Would not fucking miss it for the world. These guys are reviving a great generation of rock before our eyes. Grateful that they’ve been discovered by so many people!!
You guys should do a reaction to their song (Heat Above).
For a second I thought maybe a reaction would be done without the comparison to Led Zepplin. Not fussing at your friend...the Fandom is just so incredibly tired or hearing it. I liked the first couple lines of the reaction you said though!
Age of Man at red rocks! You have to take a listen
you’ve gotta react to “light my love” by them it’s other worldly
teenagers to 70+ year olds like this band!
Greta Van Fleet is Amazing!!!
Do a reaction of Lover, Leaver!! Their guitar and musicality of this song is unmatched!
Lest it is forgotten.. LZ did a lot of covers.
FUCK YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you DEFINITELY NEED TO react to the voice kids germany radiohead creep cover by mimi and josy. i know it‘s not your typical stuff, but i‘m beyond sure you‘re gonna LOVE it. please give it a try!
Lol well I like them and saw them in Chicago. I just turned 40. So old millennial. Not sure if gen z is into the band. But when I was at the concert there was a lot of 25-50 year olds.
This one kinda reminds me of "Bad company- simple man" (not lynyrd skynyrds song). I Love these guys. Bringing back actual genuine music. Look at the song "simple man- Bad company. (Again, not Lynyrd skynyrd's song). See what you think and tell me.
