@@ejllamobeolan5025 I grew up listening to Deep purple, Led Zeppelin, The Doors, Cream, etc back in the 70's/80's, it was my Dad's/uncle's music and it shaped my love of music in my childhood...I have no idea what you're on about. gtfo.
Being a 65 year old dinosaur, I remember when Led Zep came out. Thank you for echoing my thoughts, I too was immediately struck by their dead on Led Zepplin sound. Rather than being annoyed, I was hit by a sense of nostalgia and thrill that these kids were actually playing their instruments! No, I'm not what you'd call a "Fan" but do appreciate their efforts and that they are transparent about it. Now that The Warning is signed to the same record label, I curious to see what will happen to them and which direction they will go. At the least, the future of Rock and Roll is in good hands with these young lions. really like your honest and intelligent reactions.
If I’m not mistaken, I think they recorded this when they were like 16-17...they were definitely HEAVILY influenced by Led Zeppelin, especially in this song ...and I think they said overall, they were really influenced by RUSH too. I just think they were really young here and this was before they really found their own sound. They got signed before they matured enough to change it up. I do think they sound great though and are very talented. Already winning a Grammy at their age is pretty amazing.
Finally someone who doesn't trash the band for sounding like Led Zeppelin. So many reaction channels say they sound like Led Zeppelin and call them a cover band even though they ain't covering their songs. Thanks for your reaction, great video and explanation.
Don't care. He can't change his voice and don't want him to. I actually like them better. Their new album is insane! Love to hear what you think of it.
i think this is the style that where missing this days. Guys like me love this style, listen this stuff make come back to old 70/80/90. we need more like this today i guess. I want to keep living this and future generations like we live today the 70/80/90 bands. I hope i explain myself as well xD
Being copied is the greatest compliment....it gives me hope to know that someone still enjoys and carries on the stuff from my time..the 1960s 70's.....side note: Its all been done, everyone copies otherwise it would not be in the same style...they imporove but stay within guide lines otherwise they are something different
I am 59 years old, I had tickets in my hand for Led Zeppelin in 1980, they were due to come to Jacksonville, where I was stationed, after NY. The first time I heard this on the radio I thought Page/Plant put out a new album, then I remembered that Plant can't sing like this any more :( I really like these kids, I think that GVF, BAND-MAID, and pigeons will save the rock and roll world. Great review as always OSN :)
Where to start? First TY for giving these guys a break! They were teenagers when they wrote this and if you noticed - they didn't even think to write a chorus! They've progressed so much in the 3 or 4 years since this song that it's unbelievable. You wanted to see how they've progressed and grown into their own, so I beg you to listen to their brand new album The Battle at Garden's Gate. Josh has an over 2 1/2 octave vocal range - Danny the drummer has progressed far beyond this tune and Sammy and Jake have also moved miles ahead of their playing here. These guys say in interviews that they love that at their concerts, there are generations of people! Kids, teens, parents and grandparents - and they love it. I'm older and love that these guys have made me feel like I did back in the day, listening to LZ. NO OTHER BAND HAS STOPPED ME IN MY TRACKS and made me come alive like GVF. May they continue on this path - I'm lobing the ride! (Sorry this is so long, but I loved that you GOT this band)!
Greta Van Fleet grew up with parents and grandparents that are Led Zeppelin fans, with a few other influences from the same time. They grew up with that as the primary music in life. Huge influence in shaping what they view as good music. Then they recorded. They got the attention of Robert Plant. They got the approval of Robert Plant. And I believe that trumps all. When an original member gives his approval, there's no better blessing. These are things which you probably did not know, but as a music nerd I thought you might find it interesting. Keep up the good work.
I think it's pretty badazz they adopted the style of arguably the best rock bad ever. And are slaying it in my opinion. I also hear a lil Jim Morrison in there as well.
It's 1am, just finished watching this reaction. First time I heard this on the radio, I started car and it was on, next song was something like Falling in Reverse. "What the hell is this doing on the classic rock station?" Love LZ and now love GVF!!
I saw Led Zeppelin in 1969, and they were my favorite band. They had a lot of haters early on. This song is very Zep, and was written when they were 15 or so. At the time, they did a lot of covers in bars including Zep, Cream, Black Sabbath etc. Now several years later they have matured appreciably. They are my favorite band now and their fan base includes people from 15-80 that love their sound. Rather unusual for a rock band these days. Throw in big arena shows and big festivals globally, and they have something that connects.
Totally agree especially about the point if it were a lost track, cause I first heard it on the job site radio. Had me wondering for hours till I got to my phone and the internet.
Awesome reaction as always good sir. Love the breakdown and comparison to the great Led Zeppelin. I love how you talk about how this can open up a conversation around the younger and older generations bonding over music and hearing music that they have never heard of. I am not a huge Greta Van Fleet fan, but I also don't hate it. Hearing this breakdown makes me want to listen a little more, and then also listen to more Led Zeppelin. Thanks for the always 100% honest reaction. Keep it up brother.
Awesome. I'm the same age as you, and GVF is my favorite band. I had the same initial reaction to them as you. I saw it for a few seconds and shut it off. Some time later, I said what the hell is wrong with sounding like Zeppelin? And now I don't hear Zeppelin when I listen to them. I hear Greta Van Fleet. One of the perks of being old and loving this band is that you get to sit back and watch them grow and evolve. They're SO talented and have SO much potential, and it's been lovely to watch. I can tell you that they have 100% brought generations of fans together. From little kids to grandma and great grandma. They have 15 year olds listening to Joan Baez and Muddy Waters and John Denver, ffs. It blows my mind, I never in a million years thought I would see that. They're changing music in their own way. They may not be inventing new sounds, but they are affecting the way young people (and budding musicians) approach and listen to music, and are bringing people together. And that's a beautiful thing. Thank you for this.
This is the best, most honest constructive criticism that I’ve heard about GVF. Love this band! Going to see them live in a couple of weeks in Franklin, TN!
First time I heard this I thought led zeppelin got back together to make a new album. LOL. I think they do a good revival of led zeppelin style sound. They got some other songs that make them stand out a bit
Loved your honest reaction to Greta. I’m an 80’s baby and with more of an affinity for the glam and hair metal bands. I knew some Zeppelin songs but they weren’t one of my favorite bands. Growing up in an age where Rock was dying, I lamented not being able to attend concerts with the legends in their hay day. I got to see Van Hagar while in high school and that was the extent of my old school rock concert experience. It was awesome by the way! Since then I’ve been thirsting for new classic rock style music. One day, I happened upon GVF and it linked me back to Zeppelin; and band I never truly looked into. Now I have a whole new appreciation for Zeppelin and their music. As you eluded to in your reaction, I never had the opportunity to see any of the Rock legends in there hay day. With GVF, I now feel like I have a chance to experience what that was like in the 70-80’s. Their new album distances the band, somewhat, from original Zeppelin, although the influence will always be present vocally. Frankly Scarlet, I don’t give a damn! I can’t wait to see them in concert. If you want to give another classic sounding up and coming band a chance, listen to Dirty Honey “When I’m Gone.” Sunset strip babies that sound like Aerosmith/GNR. Thank you also for the Plush reaction. They are now squarely on my radar. The future looks bright for old school rock. Thank you old school nerd for helping commence the awakening! Cheers
This was them 5 years ago with heavy influences. Try something from their new album like weight of Dreams, Broken Bells of Built by NAtions. Better yet. Look at Redrocks video and listen to the older stuff after several seasoned tours. Unbelievable talent!
I hate that I was ready to jump down here and say the comment of, just say your a Zeppelin tribute and we're all good and then you sat me down, made a dang fine argument, and here I am going ok.... you're right. You're 100% right. I don't think I'll be seeking them out but I'm not going to turn off the radio either.
it's funny to see in some videos fans getting defensive "¡they don't sound like zeppelin!!! ¡they sound like themselves!!!!". come on!... we are not deaf. the good thing about this is young people playing real instruments and singing for real, exposing "kids these days" to real music.
Okay I'm just going to put this here I agree there isn't a musical artists out there that hasn't gained their influence from someone else that's how music works also let this sink ineverybody,when Highway tune was written along with the likes of your the one these boys were 14 + 16 their ability in itself is phenomenal at that age the lead singer himself was an amazing vocalist and has grown exponentially as have the rest these guys thrive on being polarizing it gets people off their butts and off the radio and makes them think for themselves and determine hey what do I really like and that's what music should be anyone who hasn't checked out their new material it's phenomenal as for me Zeppelin was my era and no I did not make the comparisons initially because I don't listen to the radio and the first time I ever heard about these guys was a little song you can still find on UA-cam called get you down then I heard a song called mountain of the Sun so I still struggle with the comparisons but I do see them as they have acknowledged them as well. All I can say is let Music Live and breathe
Old Skool Nerd, I have three words for you...YOU ARE RIGHT!! To me though, if I just heard this band without seeing the video, I wouldn't expect that guys voice to be from someone like him...lol...somehow the voice doesn't go with the guy...just my funny observation
I don't buy their story about Joss trying to just one day out sing the instruments. I think these kids decided to carefully analyze and master playing everything they could find from a top rock band. Then they made new mixtures of their sound into new songs. This was a brilliant way to break into musical fame and fortune and revive this great style of rock music in modern times. I really love their first music that wasn't an "album". Not a huge fan of their first album "Anthem of the peaceful army" - to me this album was essentially one song, not much variation in design of the songs. I haven't yet listened to the stuff since that album.
Indeed! Hoping you are listening to more of their music and appreciating their raw talent and musical mastery. I think they are rebirthing the whole of progressive rock. Think back...ELP, Rush, Pink Floyd, Kansas, Styx, Triumph, the Who, Yes. Their new album is very good.
You really work this one, I saw you suffer in the begining. I am an old guy too and this was as you said with bad intentions. I totally agree with you.
I really like Greta, it feels like rock n roll. Fact is Led Zeppelin created the hair band generation. Great White, Poison, Cinderella, Kingdom Come, Whitesnake all were deeply influenced by Zep. Listen to Cinderella's song Long Cold Winter they're awesome and one of the few hairmetal bands the totally got the blues influence, so did Great White, Whitesnake had that vibe going on early in their career with Ain't no Love in the Heart of the City but they drifted to a commercial sound. If Greta can give radio a kick in the ass and get them to play real rock today like Guns and Roses did 30 years ago we'll be greatful.
@@billpeters9999 I have to say that I agree with you. I loved listening to *LZ* in the '60s and early '70s but listening to these kids is like listening to an old lost recording and I have to say that I like it. I think music like this has a place in today's world and there is no reason to write them off just because they sound like the original. These songs don't take away anything from the original LZ songs. One day a band will come along and sound like ABBA but who really cares?
I agree with you about Greta Van Fleet, they are very good and I think Robert Plant would be flattered by lead singer’s vocals. I’m now in my 70’s. Back in the day Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were my favourite groups fullstop and remained so until I heard Nightwish about 1 and half years ago and they are now my favourite group of all time with LZ and DP now relegated. Still like them but NW is the best. Also would like to say I like your personality and have fun watching your reactions. Keep up the good work and don’t let others try to change you. Don’t always agree with you but hey that’s life. Like how you talk about drumming and musical timing and chord changes and stuff. I’m not musically savvy, just like what I hear or don’t like, either way, that’s me. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
I have two Led Zeppelin albums on vinyl, and the CD boxset. I totally agree that this band sounds extremely similar to Led Zeppelin. It is a good song, however. I would be willing to listen to more of their music.
Watching your intro now, didn't see the Evanescence video yet. I would love to see you do a video where you play some instruments and demonstrate your skills too, even if you aren't on the level of the bands you watch.
2017,2018,2019..... forever they dont sound like led zepplin... they literally are echoing them... if the new album is epic great give me a song from it that isnt not a echo of song remains the same form MSG and we can talk... but dont mock my comment as being aged when their entire sound is aged going back to 1968 so much so a hard core zepplin fan wouldn't know that it wasnt a lost recording of LZ if they werent told so....
Lol, I dont thank there will be anyone who doubt this band does sort of a detailed stylistic tribute to Led Zeppelin without being the Led Zeppelin LOL This is a "cover" band that is not doing covers of songs, but covering the feel, the tone and the music path of LZ. This is not a problem for me at all. I had bought 2 of Kingdom Come albums in 80`s even though people wer sort of rumoring they copy Led Zeppelin. These guys here are not copy-cats for me, this seems like role model play - same as Fans of Lord of the Rings recreate Tolkien legacy in the woods )
It's funny that people get so obtuse about Led Zeppelin sound-a-likes. They stole whole-heartedly from blues musicians for their early material. They were absolutely great for their decade or so and haven't existed for 40 years now. Black Sabbath spawned a whole genre of music (doom metal). Bands are lauded for sounding Beatle-esque. Why are bands influenced by Zep held to a different standard? Kingdom Come got tons of crap in the 80s for sounding somewhat Zeppelin-ish. GVF are a bunch of kids here making their first EP. Each of their full length LPs has taken steps away from these early songs to develop more of their own sound. Often, this singer sounds more like Geddy Lee than Robert Plant; he has a very unusual tonality. If you want to hear another sound-a-like singer, check out Bruce Dickinson's vocal doppelganger in the new band Icon Of Sin.
Comes down to one simple thing, Plagaiarism, or imitation being the highest form of flattery. Each has to decide for themselves. The rest of their catalog, which I admittedly haven't listened to, would influence my decision. One-time? homage, lots of times? cashing in.
Greta Van Fleet totally steals from Led Zeppelin... and I thank the Hammer of the Gods for them. To paraphrase an aphorism attributed to T.S. Eliot and Picasso: "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal outright." Go Go Greta!
So ironic. Zep was hammered as a rip-off band when they began (and face it, all these white dudes copping blues and early rock, come on). Here we go again: Young band loving their influences, sounding like them, growing and maturing, finding their own voice within a genre, super talented. Eviscerated by some large cohort of critics. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I grew up a huge Zeppelin fan, and I have enjoyed other bands that were very heavily influenced by Zep (eg. Kingdom Kome, Whitesnake, etc.) but something about the vocals in GVF really bothers me. It sounds like a good but to nasally version of Robert Plant.
Don't listen to Greta Van Fleet because they sound so much like Led Zeppelin but not for the reasons people would think. I don't listen to Led Zeppelin either. Never understood the hype around Zeppelin. Music was nothing special to me.

Being a 65 year old dinosaur, I remember when Led Zep came out. Thank you for echoing my thoughts, I too was immediately struck by their dead on Led Zepplin sound.

I absolutely love led zeppelin, I felt they paid tribute, not ripped off. But the wonderful thing about music is EVERYTHING is subjective.
The only issue is that when they were asked about led Zep, the lead singer said that that were influenced more by Aerosmith.
If I’m not mistaken, I think they recorded this when they were like 16-17...they were definitely HEAVILY influenced by Led Zeppelin, especially in this song ...and I think they said overall, they were really influenced by RUSH too.

Horrible live shows.

Fantastic analysis man. I love them because they remind me that rock can be amazing and has been amazing.
Great reaction dude, every band has been inspired by another band and these guys knew they were going t take alot of shit over their sound.

Back in the day Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple were my favourite groups fullstop and remained so until I heard Nightwish about 1 and half years ago and they are now my favourite group of all time with LZ and DP now relegated. Still like them but NW is the best. Also would like to say I like your personality and have fun watching your reactions. Keep up the good work and don’t let others try to change you. Don’t always agree with you but hey that’s life. Like how you talk about drumming and musical timing and chord changes and stuff. I’m not musically savvy, just like what I hear or don’t like, either way, that’s me. ❤️🤘🇦🇺
Theres an interview w robert taking about them
I have two Led Zeppelin albums on vinyl, and the CD boxset. I totally agree that this band sounds extremely similar to Led Zeppelin. It is a good song, however. I would be willing to listen to more of their music.
HONESTLY you will like my next reaction to them... IF IT GETS UNBLOCKED!!!!
@@OldSkuleNerd Cool! Looking forward to it.
I get you! And yes I know yet they as a band denies that influence
Love your honesty in these videos! Would love to see you checkout Chaos Killed - Pathfinder. They are a small group from West Virginia
Watching your intro now, didn't see the Evanescence video yet. I would love to see you do a video where you play some instruments and demonstrate your skills too, even if you aren't on the level of the bands you watch.
This song is my favorite for last 10 years. Sorry, a'm only 10 years old.
They are so talented! The new album is epic!!! Comment like they sound like LZ is so 2017!😏
2017,2018,2019..... forever they dont sound like led zepplin... they literally are echoing them... if the new album is epic great give me a song from it that isnt not a echo of song remains the same form MSG and we can talk... but dont mock my comment as being aged when their entire sound is aged going back to 1968 so much so a hard core zepplin fan wouldn't know that it wasnt a lost recording of LZ if they werent told so....
@@OldSkuleNerd not even Robert Plant sounds like himself at 70’s ...
GVF is tired of playing Highway Tune per their last interview. Their new album is so different.
The really do sound like a Zeppelin cover band who started playing their own music with a Zeppelin style.
Their new single sounds more like Rush.
Lol, I dont thank there will be anyone who doubt this band does sort of a detailed stylistic tribute to Led Zeppelin without being the Led Zeppelin LOL This is a "cover" band that is not doing covers of songs, but covering the feel, the tone and the music path of LZ. This is not a problem for me at all. I had bought 2 of Kingdom Come albums in 80`s even though people wer sort of rumoring they copy Led Zeppelin. These guys here are not copy-cats for me, this seems like role model play - same as Fans of Lord of the Rings recreate Tolkien legacy in the woods )
It's funny that people get so obtuse about Led Zeppelin sound-a-likes. They stole whole-heartedly from blues musicians for their early material. They were absolutely great for their decade or so and haven't existed for 40 years now. Black Sabbath spawned a whole genre of music (doom metal). Bands are lauded for sounding Beatle-esque. Why are bands influenced by Zep held to a different standard? Kingdom Come got tons of crap in the 80s for sounding somewhat Zeppelin-ish. GVF are a bunch of kids here making their first EP. Each of their full length LPs has taken steps away from these early songs to develop more of their own sound. Often, this singer sounds more like Geddy Lee than Robert Plant; he has a very unusual tonality.
If you want to hear another sound-a-like singer, check out Bruce Dickinson's vocal doppelganger in the new band Icon Of Sin.
I got an Tattoo from them just the new Led Zeppelin, fucking awesome and the Leader has same name as me
Comes down to one simple thing, Plagaiarism, or imitation being the highest form of flattery. Each has to decide for themselves. The rest of their catalog, which I admittedly haven't listened to, would influence my decision. One-time? homage, lots of times? cashing in.
Keeping an mind.... precedes to immediately pause twice. 😆
Update: u liked it....?? 👍
Robert Plant recommends them ❤😊
If you listen to there interviews he actually was mote influenced by Aerosmith..
Nobody can find any interview where they said that. Just people saying that they said that.
ok I coment this and now I see you meant the same then me xD
I love Zeppelin but they did steal Whole Lotta Love from Humble Pie.
Stop with led zeppelin...
Listen to the battle at Gardens Gate album.
" mama" derives from the blues...just as Zeppelin did.
Omg you made me cry like a bitch. Finally someone reacted to one of my favorites. 😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ Your the best ever.
13:57 "not acceptable in the last 40 years, but if you go back to 2 thousand..." hold on slow the fuck down OSN I'm not in my 50's yet lol
btw im from 1999 xD nirvana in my veins too xD
first
Don't forget, you also share GUMBO!
Thought I heard they were like 19 and 20 years old when they did this song?
like the new camra good then that iam not part of masses then so you can appeal to me 🤣🤣🤣 so Greta Van Fleet Gate Way to heavier stuff
I kinda feel that this could be the reunion of Led Zeppelin we never got
i dont understand how anyone can disagree with you
Greta Van Fleet totally steals from Led Zeppelin... and I thank the Hammer of the Gods for them. To paraphrase an aphorism attributed to T.S. Eliot and Picasso: "Good artists borrow. Great artists steal outright." Go Go Greta!
I heard a recent track from them, and I didn't like it so much. They don't sound like they did (Zep). Singer has went full blown whiney voice mode now
What band did not steal from Led Zeppelin once they hit the music scene?
there is a difference between stealing from and flat out being led zeppelin lol
@@OldSkuleNerd those GVF fans don't wan't to confess these things to themselves and it's hilarious
We need to Call it the led zeppelin revival. Not the theft.
So ironic. Zep was hammered as a rip-off band when they began (and face it, all these white dudes copping blues and early rock, come on). Here we go again: Young band loving their influences, sounding like them, growing and maturing, finding their own voice within a genre, super talented. Eviscerated by some large cohort of critics. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I grew up a huge Zeppelin fan, and I have enjoyed other bands that were very heavily influenced by Zep (eg. Kingdom Kome, Whitesnake, etc.) but something about the vocals in GVF really bothers me. It sounds like a good but to nasally version of Robert Plant.
Don't listen to Greta Van Fleet because they sound so much like Led Zeppelin but not for the reasons people would think. I don't listen to Led Zeppelin either. Never understood the hype around Zeppelin. Music was nothing special to me.
Hahahaha
There is no point to this. If it makes some kid find Zeppelin I suppose it’s fine. Otherwise, this is garbage.
