I'm a Greta Van Fleet fanboy and the Led Zeppelin sound is what first attracted me to the band. After listening to them for a while now, yes they do resemble LZ but they do have their own sound at the same time. I love the "old school" style and think they will do very well. In the mean time, do a reaction to GVF Black Smoke Rising and their new one When the Curtain Falls, both are very good. When the lead singer started getting volume from his voice, it seems that the Robert Plant resemblance came naturally and it's what created their "breakout" sound!
Lost in Vegas yourselves a favor and give Pantera's *Domination in Moscow '91* UA-cam vid a reaction. The metal community needs it right now, and you guys need it right now. RIP Vinnie P, and all love to the Abbot family. May the Abbot Brothers shred in Valhalla. Metal will endure.
When I first listened, I heard Zep, Rush, and old school blues. I watched a few of their interviews followed by their album in full. It's fantastic. These guys are fresh AF. Their other stuff has hints of Adelle, Aretha Franklin, The Doors, Black Sabbath. They mash everything up. It's incredible. Black Smoke Rising, Edge of Darkness, Brave New World, New Man... lots of really solid tracks of varying styles.
Pantera cemetery gates song reaction please y'all. Normally I don't go on about why I request this song but today we're hurting in the metal community. The drummer from pantera passed away last night in his sleep suddenly, that's all we know at this point. But if y'all knew how we lost his brother Dimebag, the guitar player for pantera you'd know this is rough. At least for me and my group of friends it has been. So rest in peace Vinnie Paul, hopefully Dime was waiting for you to continue jamming.
People criticize these kids for sounding like Led Zeppellin when they should be praised for it. Firstly they have yet to put out their first studio album so with time they'll develop their own style and seperate themselves from other rock groups. Secondly in a world where people are listening to Justin Beiber and Selena Gomez and all that other radio crap these guys are actually bringing back real music. It's very refreshing and I'm looking forward to seeing what they can accomplish
James Murphy dammit I'm tired of this "there is no good music in rock right now" bullshit. Stop being lazy. There are hundreds of new bands out that are awesome. You just have to search it out. Corporate labels want to push the crap bieber stuff on us. There is a genre of rock out now called stoner rock that has hundreds of real rock bands. Check out Nebula, Colour Haze, Fu Manchu, Causa Sui, Kyuss, Sleep, Elder, Monster Magnet, Wellwater Conspiracy, Papir. Also underground Jazz and R&B bands are tearing it up. Go to small clubs. The music scene is as vibrant as it's ever been.
James (and interesting that you have the same name of a great Death Metal guitarist) - I agree with devilart, but I have to ask you what are you into? Just the "Rock" type newer bands, or all or most of Metal subgenres? Please visit my Yt page, hopefully you'll find music and bands that you never heard of on my various "Themed" Playlists. I gave up on radio in 1997, and just found stuff on my own, or in Metal and Progressive Rock trade mags. And now finding more on UA-cam and word of mouth. devilart; try SHeavy, Operator Generator, Ant-Depressive Delivery, Presto Ballet ("Peace Among the Ruins") and Spiritual Beggars, unless you know about them already :).
Personally I listen to a lot of current music and it's true there are many good bands out there. The problem is I represent the minority and the bands I think are good aren't the ones being played on the radio nor are they the ones most younger people listen to. I think the root of the problem is that people today have never been taught how to listen to music. They hear music but they don't listen to it, and there's a big difference. I will often ask friends and people I work with, why to you listen to such trash lyrics? Their reply is almost always, the lyrics are funny or I don't actually listen to music for the lyrics, I just like the way it sounds. Which is absolutely ridiculous to me because a song is literally just a poem put to music. An artist is supposed to be creative and create something moving and inspirational. No different than a painter, which is why we call them artist in the first place. Unfortunately most "artist" (or at least the popular artist) nowadays are simply performers and its sad that people are growing up thinking that the crap they're listening to is art. If Bob Dylan=Picasso then Beyonce's songs are my 5 year old nephews fridge drawings
I was going through the news of the death of Pantera's drummer, and this popped up on my notification bar. I can't deny I was happy when I saw it, but then a bit saddened by your reaction to it. I've been listening to Greta Van Fleet a lot these days. And I like them in spite of the fact that the vocalist sounds exactly like Robert Plant (Led Zep's vocalist). Anyway, what's more important is the fact that Vinnie Paul passed away yesterday. So I think, you guys should give another shot to Pantera. They are easily one of the most important metal bands. In the 90's when grunge and alternative rock were taking over, Pantera was spear-leading, amongst other bands, to keep metal alive. And they did so tremendously. It was "trendkill". They were truly the Cowboys From Hell. RIP Vinnie Paul. RIP Dimebag Darrell. Gone, but not forgotten.
Alex Critoph Well, that was "Walk". They liked it, but not an epic reaction, ya know. It was just fine for them, at least according to me. But, hey, another shot is another shot, no matter you hit the target or not. 😎
I didn't sleep well last night, threw on home videos to help with how I'm feeling. Still pretty fucked up by it. Never got to see either dime or Vinnie live and that fact will always haunt me. Hopefully they can jam in peace...
Finally! Thanks guys! But also, they're YOUNG AF. They can always get away from those Led Zeppelin comparisons, and I'm excited to see what they will do in the future. This is their first album and we have much to expect. I know they'll evolve into something special.
One of my bands (Ded By Dezine) played a gig with them about 3 years ago. Great Musicians, Friendly kids, serious about the music, but they were a Zep Tribute band the night we shared the stage in Warren, MI that night. Guitars, hair, clothes, the whole shebang. I hope they Try to Sound more "Inspired" than "carbon-copied" in their future endeavors... but I'm glad they're even getting to have this much fun. I would've been Stoked to be recognized that young. Cheers.
Great young band out of Frankenmuth Michigan. I've been mentioning these guys for a while. They have recently opened for Bob Seger in Michigan and for elton John in England
Do a Pantera reaction for their drummer Vinnie Paul who recently passed away 6-22-18. Domination, Cowboys from Hell, Cemetery Gates, Revolution is My Name.
These kids grew up just down the highway from me and have a Zeppelin vibe for sure waiting to hear they progress after time they have talent but waiting to see when they find there own voice .. Detroit area keeps producing
Tyler Iannucci you answered your own question... boredom is what inspires them. When you have nothing else to do you put your heart and soul on what entertains you.
Robert Plant..the singer from Zeppelin...knows that he sounds exactly like him....but has given the thumbs up.......the drummer is the only one not family...the 3 others are brothers....these guys are from Frankenmouth Michigan....where Santa's Village is and is known for Beers....they live about an hour and a half north of Detroit !!!
fasteddie777666 They recorded most of their stuff in kid rocks studio, in I believe Royal oak, and some in Detroit, the singer of sponge, Which is also from Detroit, helped them get signed to a record label.
These kids JAM!They write their own music and take their guitars to a new level which also appeals to their generation. I'm a die hard rock n roll fan, and these kids are spot on. I don't think they purposely want to sound like Led Zepplin. Actually they also have the sounds if Rush, AcDc and The Stones. We need to applaud them.
A lot of young musicians start very derivative before they move to their own sound. Rush's first album is basically a Zep facsimile, and look where they went
The first Greta Van Fleet song I heard was Black Smoke Rising, it gave off some Rush and Zeppelin vibes but it felt more like its own song than a Zeppelin copy. I suggest doing that song next if you ever revisit this band. I also hope you guys will react to a song by Vein soon, they're currently changing the game within the metal community.
My generation is so grateful for GVF, for bringing blues-based R&R, in the spirit of Led Zeppelin, back into modern times! We LOVE it! Check out more by them, including their live stuff.....they are actually very talented! (PS: Robert Plant likes them)
I dont know why people complain about them sounding like Led Zepplin. Instead people should appreciate that they're bringing this kind of music back. This generation needs to hear this kind of music
forbiddenXsanctuary there are plenty of new bands around with talent and originality instead of just being a bad cover band. The classic music is back. Its a whole genre of music called stoner rock.
its not that they sound like zepp, its that they sound EXACTLY like zepp. I mean, I choose to just pretend zepp came out with a new album. I love the music, but it does hurt their integrity as songwriters a bit.
I didn't mind as much that they sounded like Led Zeppelin, but the fact that they try to claim that they weren't "copying" the Led Zeppelin formula. The songwriting structure, the riffs, the vocals. They're all way too similar to be a coincidence.
forbiddenXsanctuary cus they’re not original. People listen to them because they sound like zep. U can see they copy them 100% on stage.. the bassist doesn’t even wear socks. It’s a little bit Cool, but not when they get money and fame by copying others and cant be original.
Greta van fleet is actually composed of 3 brothers and their friend. They're in their early 20s so I think they have time to grow. They do sound very similar to led zeppelin. But if you guys listen to their other songs they actually sound like some other 70s bands. They openly admit to being heavily influenced from that era. "Highway tune" is their "mainstream" song. Their other songs on the album are much deeper in comparison. Personally I like them. It's a throwback to some great bands and songs. Great video as always guys 👍
They’ve grown up a lot since they recorded this song! It’s good for a first single but honestly not their best. Their new album The Battle at Garden’s Gate is one of the best album’s I’ve heard in awhile! React to Heat Above. It’s such a lyrically and instrumentally beautiful song.
By influenced you mean they use the exact same guitar and bass tones, vocal style, mic the drums the same and use almost the exact same riffs then yeah
FWIW, on Their first interview on Jonesy’s Jukebox, while talking about their influences, the singer name a old time blues singer, and Jonesy said something like “that’s why you sound like Plant, that who he was influenced by”
Lead singer is brother of guitarists that are twins. When I was in radio my station was the first to play this group on the radio in Michigan as our town bordered theirs. Saw them play a music in the park in a small farming community.
Also.... once again, I would like to suggest the 1971 hit by Jethro Tull called Locomotive Breath. You will definitely like it. No, you will definitely love it!
Ish, but not Led Zeppelin. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I appreciate your reaction to them. Southern fried rock sound via the 60's. Judas Priest's Beyond The Realm of Death!!!! Thanks George and Ryan!!
Bringing back rock and roll these guys are 22 years old from Frankenmuth Michigan! Lead singer and guitar player are twins the other brother is the bass player and their friend from high school playing the drums! They are bringing rock and roll back to the Forefront! Peace guys! Love you Channel you guys are awesome
Thanks guys. New sub here. I seen this group a few years ago. Not really discovered yet. I could not believe what I was hearing!! I live in Mi about 15 miles from Frankenmuth, many festivals there. I am 57 YO, and just love this ROCK!! These guys are the freshest rock I have seen in a while. They switch it up too. They have MORE ALOT more. Thank you for listening to them and giving them some open mind. I have heard them live, young man has talent!!! Entire Band has talent!!!!
They are a young band. Greta Van Fleet are 3 brothers and their friend. They are: Josh Kiszka - Lead Vocals (22 years old) Jake Kiszka - Lead & Rhythm Guitars (also 22 and is Josh's identical twin brother!) Sam Kiszka - Bass guitar and organ (19 years old and is the twins younger brother) Danny Wagner - Drums ( also 19 and a long time friend of the Kiszka brothers)
They are really starting to grow on me. As a metalhead and someone who loves a lot of old rock bands , I definitely see potential in these guys. They’re actually not too much older than I am , I’m only 18. I think they’re really going to evolve over time and grow and I feel they have along way to go . I think they’re what we need in a way , they’re keeping rock n roll alive. Some of these new Alternative bands are soo talented but they haven’t really been noticed yet . I’ve even discovered a few myself and they are good , really good. They’re gonna do great things I know it. Rock is not dead 🖤🤘🏻🔥💀
They’re from my hometown of Frankenmuth, MI!!! I’ve seen them since Fischer Hall when they were 14! So glad to see them on SNL and nominated for four emmys! I miss when they were taking shots with us in my dad basement bar and when Danny’s (drummer) dad was my Golf coach and Danny used to walk with us and play better than us on the team when he was in 7th grade! Love GVF!
With the passing of Vinnie, there is only one video that matters right now. Cemetery Gates by Pantera. RIP to another legend of metal, we love ya brother!
Love what you guys do. Respect. These guys are knocking down the doors for rock bands like them. Since the early 90s since grunge hard rock and heavy metal bands haven't been treated seriously but this group is blowing up. This is what rockers like me and other rockers have been waiting for. There also paving the path for other classic hard rock n classic heavy metal bands to follow. I love Greta Van Fleet. The video for this song highway song has over 22 million views and they played Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show. They're loved by all generations and Led Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant loves them to. The band has said they don't intentionally mean to sound like Led Zeppelin. The singer guitarist and bassist are brothers and there parents had classic rock and blues music so they grew up on it and it's in there blood. The singer said when he started singing with them the band was so loud he just started singing over the guitar. If you whatch them on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show doing When The Curtain Falls oh man the singer belts out alot of high notes. They do beautiful Sam Cooke song A Change is Going to Come which Otis Redding and Baby Huey did to. Edge of Darkness is a song about peace. Black Smoke Rising is about how everyone is divided today and he sings it with sadness he sings like he wishes everyone would come together no matter how much divide there is stand with your brothers and sisters of all races. They grew up on alot of music Led Zeppelin grew up on. I know if you guy saw them live you'd lose your minds it's like going back in time. There Led Zep reincarnated. I think they have some originality to them. I support them.
Hi guys! Thanks for another great and fair review! Love the reaction to a video! I love GVF, and bought their CD a couple of months ago. I'm in NC, where they don't play a lot of great artists on our local stations. I listen to 105.5 WDHA out of NJ, which totally rocks... 🤘🏻 They even play Alter Bridge (my favorite band), which I've never heard played on an NC station. They play a lot of lesser known songs from artists, and when I first heard Highway Tune, I thought it WAS an old Led Zeppelin song. The singer sounds exactly like Robert Plant, IMO. That's the main reason they sound so much like Led Zepplin. I was stunned to learn it was a new artist! I like this song because it's got an uplifting beat and feeling to it. It makes you want to get up and dance. I love the entire album. They do an awesome cover of A Change is Gonna Come. And again, I respectfully request that you react to Calm The Fire by Alter Bridge. I have no idea why it was written, but the words are so powerful and so indicative of today's society. You love Myles voice- this song really shows off his vocal range (and power). You love their guitars- Myles and Mark do not disappoint in this song. Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 ☮❤️🌎
3 brothers & a high school friend, all about 21-22 Tears old, from about an hour away from me, in Frankenmuth, Michigan. And YES, this song sounds like Zeppelin. And it's AWESOME.
GVF are great. They are identified as 70's rock inspired like Zeppelin, Joplin, The Who, etc... Feature their song Edge of Darkness because there's that Janis Joplin hook & feel to the song. The band... Josh Ziszka (singer) & Jake Ziszka (guitar) are twin brothers. Sam Ziszka (bass) is baby bro and Danny Wagner (drums) a neighborhood friend. They're from Frankenmuth, Michigan.
You have to go back to it consistently. Yes, it is very similar to Zeppelin style, but this has a youthful flair that sets it apart. And lets be honest. You guys like some Zeppelin tunes, but by your own admission you don't really know Zeppelin's music. For us true Zeppelin fans (not to sound all hipster and crap lol), this new, fresh sound is exactly what we needed. It is exactly what rock needs. Finally, a young group, who captures that missing magical essence from 60's and 70's rock and roll. I feel once you dive into them a bit more, you'll realize that you want more from them. We are truly witnessing something rare and magical. Lets rock!
Helgard Werner very wrong you dont go to rapper that has the same flow as someone else and say they are trash its just a good song done in an old style get over yourself
Hey guys! If you want to feel their more powerful vocals check out A Change Is Gonna Come and Meet On the Ledge. I think you would both really enjoy the first one.
As an old lady, who grew up with her Bros listening to LZ n the like it's so refreshing to hear kids play instruments again. It makes u want to shake ur butt n have one hell of a good time. I like that u can hear who inspired them n with time their sound will mature. I'm just jazzed seeing people play guitars. Woot Woot! Check out black smoke rises. Killer jam and as always Bravo gentlemen for giving me something to listen to @ 2am coming home from the Vegas strip. I'm out! Love u guys! Muah
Rest In Peace Vinnie Paul Abbott. An American Drumming Legend. I can't believe it. It's unreal. Condolences to the entire extended family especially Phil and Rex who are reliving a nightmare right now. Love & Respect to Pantera/Damageplan/Hell Yeah/Rebel Meets Rebel camps
Alter Bridge - Isolation (Excellent guitar riffs, strong vocals from Myles Kennedy, a great rocking jam!) Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction (Good groove that y'all will like. Dave's growling vocals are epic) Anthrax - Only ( One of their best, good rhythm, strong vocals from John Bush)
I just love these guys! I mean, how can you listen to this song and not catch yourself nodding your head along with the beat?! I love to blast this song in my car!!!
They just released a brand new single from thier up coming album. The song is called "When the Curtain Falls"... go get you some of that!! Review please!!!!
Stumbled onto you guys. I'm a die-hard Zeppelin fan. Some call them imitators of Zep. But they truly love the golden age of rock. Not a copy, a tribute. This band is extremely talented.
I saw them in concert at the Fillmore in Detroit. They absolutely killed it. It's great hearing a band from Frankenmuth. And yes, they sound A LOT like Led Zeppelin. Their next album will decide their future I'm.
I am about to turn 59 and I absolutely love them. I grew up with Zeppelin and the boys just brought the Led back. They have a lot of music, and it's all good. Dope. I'm a fan.
This is why I love this channel so much; you guys can draw an unbiased opinion about a song, based on what little you've heard of a different band. I mean, for me as a huge Zeppelin fan, this band is great! But I can see the criticism all the same, as they are very VERY similar in style. No one wants a Led Zeppelin reunion and new material as much as this guy, but I've long accepted that won't happen and a new band that sounds similar is welcome to me. But there's only one mighty Zeppelin, same with the Beatles and other great, groundbreaking bands. So glad I discovered this channel. You guys keep this stuff up! If I had to make a suggestion, though, I'd have to say I'm interested in a take on Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'd say "Saturday Night Special" would be a good place to start.
The 3 front men are brothers.. The drummer is a friend. When they first started out they were still in school. I think the singer is 20 now. I'm 64 and so glad they are bringing rock back even if they do sound like Zepplin.
The way the main singer sings is so much like Led Zeppelin the way they dress is really liked the band queen.And I’ve seen other videos and the main singer expresses himself on stage similar to Freddie Mercury But sings like Led Zeppelin
I'm a Greta Van Fleet fanboy and the Led Zeppelin sound is what first attracted me to the band. After listening to them for a while now, yes they do resemble LZ but they do have their own sound at the same time. I love the "old school" style and think they will do very well. In the mean time, do a reaction to GVF Black Smoke Rising and their new one When the Curtain Falls, both are very good. When the lead singer started getting volume from his voice, it seems that the Robert Plant resemblance came naturally and it's what created their "breakout" sound!
Me to...shades of Zepplin man. Luv it. Its time bro
Heard this group live a month ago. Dude's voice sounds the same live.
I'm seeing them this summer in Seattle, and I can't wait! These guys look like 12 year old little boys, but rock like men.
same saw them at rockville and they killed it, sound amazing live
He looked like Fodo Baggins at Welcome to Rockville, but sounded amazing.
Saw them in Atlanta in May. They had the largest crowd at the festival during the day. Hands down. What an insane show!
Dubb06 lucky bastard. They were sold out before I found out they were playing in my area. Bummed.
Vinnie Paul just passed away last night, people been asking for Cemetery Gates for a long time, it would be fitting
Henry Labrake this love
Cemetery Gates > Floods > This Love > Cowboys From Hell > Im Broken > Domination. Would be my reaction order.
Lost in Vegas yourselves a favor and give Pantera's *Domination in Moscow '91* UA-cam vid a reaction. The metal community needs it right now, and you guys need it right now.
RIP Vinnie P, and all love to the Abbot family. May the Abbot Brothers shred in Valhalla.
Metal will endure.
Henry Labrake amen brother
When I first listened, I heard Zep, Rush, and old school blues. I watched a few of their interviews followed by their album in full. It's fantastic. These guys are fresh AF. Their other stuff has hints of Adelle, Aretha Franklin, The Doors, Black Sabbath. They mash everything up. It's incredible. Black Smoke Rising, Edge of Darkness, Brave New World, New Man... lots of really solid tracks of varying styles.
20 years from now I'm going to want to hear Highway Tune while I'm driving through the desert in my electric bulletproof truck.
😂
This guys might just stick around for the next decades to come.
Cybertruck?
18 more years bro
17 more years to go
safari song, black smoke rising, and edge of darkness would all be cool
Good Music black smoke rising is the best song from their album
Or actual Zeppelin music, but whatever I guess...
Good Music talk on the street is a badass song too
Black smoke rising for sure
Black Smoke Rising is my favorite song from them
Dudes. Vinnie Paul from Pantera passed away today. Y'all should check out the live version of Domination by them. You won't be disappointed
Pantera cemetery gates song reaction please y'all.
Normally I don't go on about why I request this song but today we're hurting in the metal community. The drummer from pantera passed away last night in his sleep suddenly, that's all we know at this point. But if y'all knew how we lost his brother Dimebag, the guitar player for pantera you'd know this is rough. At least for me and my group of friends it has been. So rest in peace Vinnie Paul, hopefully Dime was waiting for you to continue jamming.
Matt Dunlap
Cemetery gates one of the best tunes ever
You have to listen to Black Smoke Rising by them . I personally think that is their best song
Chazz Agreed
Chazz that’s my favorite song
Agreed.
absolutely! love that song!
Agreed

Varun Huidrom wait they didn't like Pantera? I thought they did
Alex Critoph when did I say they didn't? I said I was a bit saddened by their reaction to Greta Van Fleet. 😇😎
Varun Huidrom when you said give Pantera another shot I thought it meant they didnt like them.
Alex Critoph Well, that was "Walk". They liked it, but not an epic reaction, ya know. It was just fine for them, at least according to me. But, hey, another shot is another shot, no matter you hit the target or not. 😎
Pantera - Cemetery Gates
Oh man the solo is fucking amazing
Most likely the best Pantera song.
R.i.p vinnie paul🤘
Alex May rip vp
Long overdue!!
My bad R.I.P DIMEBAG AND VINNIE!
Vinnie died??
Yep... One hella jam session going down right now in heavens.
Damn right. RIP... brothers reunited
I didn't sleep well last night, threw on home videos to help with how I'm feeling. Still pretty fucked up by it. Never got to see either dime or Vinnie live and that fact will always haunt me. Hopefully they can jam in peace...
Brandon Saglin I still cant believe it
Finally! Thanks guys! But also, they're YOUNG AF. They can always get away from those Led Zeppelin comparisons, and I'm excited to see what they will do in the future. This is their first album and we have much to expect. I know they'll evolve into something special.
Alexandra Guevara 3rd EP. They have not released an official first album yet

Great young band out of Frankenmuth Michigan. I've been mentioning these guys for a while. They have recently opened for Bob Seger in Michigan and for elton John in England
More than just chicken dinners from Frankenmuth now!
Swamp Fox43 lol
Thanks for mentioning Frankenmuth. I'm already tired of Detroit claiming these guys.
Do a Pantera reaction for their drummer Vinnie Paul who recently passed away 6-22-18. Domination, Cowboys from Hell, Cemetery Gates, Revolution is My Name.
Nick G Medicine Man is a killer underrated tune.
I always loved his drumming on I'm Broken the most
I'm thinking BECOMING
CEMETERY GATES!
These kids grew up just down the highway from me and have a Zeppelin vibe for sure waiting to hear they progress after time they have talent but waiting to see when they find there own voice .. Detroit area keeps producing
What exactly is it about this boring ass state that inspires so many great musicians? I'm about 10 minutes out of Detroit, and I just don't get it.
Tyler Iannucci Guess boring to some and inspirational and inspiring to others
Tyler Iannucci
Because it's boring in the winter, so we all make music!
Tyler Iannucci you answered your own question... boredom is what inspires them. When you have nothing else to do you put your heart and soul on what entertains you.
Haha singer in my old band was from Midland. Never been to the US but we had a song about how much of a shit hole it was.
Robert Plant..the singer from Zeppelin...knows that he sounds exactly like him....but has given the thumbs up.......the drummer is the only one not family...the 3 others are brothers....these guys are from Frankenmouth Michigan....where Santa's Village is and is known for Beers....they live about an hour and a half north of Detroit !!!

Frankenmuth, not frankenmouth lol
yes...you are right....my bad !!!...I should have remembered, since I have been there on my way to Rifle River !!!
These kids JAM!They write their own music and take their guitars to a new level which also appeals to their generation. I'm a die hard rock n roll fan, and these kids are spot on. I don't think they purposely want to sound like Led Zepplin. Actually they also have the sounds if Rush, AcDc and The Stones. We need to applaud them.
A lot of young musicians start very derivative before they move to their own sound.
Rush's first album is basically a Zep facsimile, and look where they went
The first Greta Van Fleet song I heard was Black Smoke Rising, it gave off some Rush and Zeppelin vibes but it felt more like its own song than a Zeppelin copy. I suggest doing that song next if you ever revisit this band.
I also hope you guys will react to a song by Vein soon, they're currently changing the game within the metal community.
ProgPro96 YES I love Vein
Yes - Roundabout
Brandon Mcmanus Hi Brandon
So the weaboos can soil themselves
They would fucking love the bass in that song.
*To be continued*
Heart of the Sunrise! :D
Just found out Vinnie Paul from Pantera passed. Should do "The Sleep" by Pantera
Favorite Pantera song!
Josh Rudy Seriously man, go stroke your ego somewhere else. Don't like it, move on.
Josh Rudy And? I was giving a suggestion based on recent events. What are you so angry for, keyboard warrior?
Robert Plant's interview where he talks about them is hilarious.
My generation is so grateful for GVF, for bringing blues-based R&R, in the spirit of Led Zeppelin, back into modern times! We LOVE it! Check out more by them, including their live stuff.....they are actually very talented!
(PS: Robert Plant likes them)
I dont know why people complain about them sounding like Led Zepplin. Instead people should appreciate that they're bringing this kind of music back. This generation needs to hear this kind of music
"This generation needs to hear this kind of music"...... Zep already made it, so no probs.
With better written songs to boot.
forbiddenXsanctuary there are plenty of new bands around with talent and originality instead of just being a bad cover band. The classic music is back. Its a whole genre of music called stoner rock.
its not that they sound like zepp, its that they sound EXACTLY like zepp. I mean, I choose to just pretend zepp came out with a new album. I love the music, but it does hurt their integrity as songwriters a bit.
I didn't mind as much that they sounded like Led Zeppelin, but the fact that they try to claim that they weren't "copying" the Led Zeppelin formula. The songwriting structure, the riffs, the vocals. They're all way too similar to be a coincidence.
forbiddenXsanctuary cus they’re not original. People listen to them because they sound like zep. U can see they copy them 100% on stage.. the bassist doesn’t even wear socks. It’s a little bit Cool, but not when they get money and fame by copying others and cant be original.
Van Halen - Mean Street
favorite VH song!
tambor76 This!!
tambor76 yes, please! One of their best songs!!
Greta van fleet is actually composed of 3 brothers and their friend. They're in their early 20s so I think they have time to grow. They do sound very similar to led zeppelin. But if you guys listen to their other songs they actually sound like some other 70s bands. They openly admit to being heavily influenced from that era. "Highway tune" is their "mainstream" song. Their other songs on the album are much deeper in comparison. Personally I like them. It's a throwback to some great bands and songs. Great video as always guys 👍
I thought it consisted of 3 brothers and 1 friend.
3 brothers dawg
The 3 brothers are the singer,bassist & guitarist.
Buddy is the drummer
bessford Three brothers, and a friend.
So, Led Zeppelin by way of Kings of Leon.
(Yes, I'm aware the Kings are 3 bros and a cuz)
veritasrex66 there are the two older twin brothers and then the younger brother Sam, get your shit right dawg
Pantera - Cemetery gates
RIP Abott Brothers
They’ve grown up a lot since they recorded this song! It’s good for a first single but honestly not their best. Their new album The Battle at Garden’s Gate is one of the best album’s I’ve heard in awhile! React to Heat Above. It’s such a lyrically and instrumentally beautiful song.
Heat above is my favourite. Only discovered these guys about 2 months ago and already my top 3.
Definitely a Zeppelin influenced band. Very cool. My first time hearing a song from them. Good ole' rock n roll..🤘
By influenced you mean they use the exact same guitar and bass tones, vocal style, mic the drums the same and use almost the exact same riffs then yeah
They do all that then don't give Zeppelin credit, claim Aerosmith is their influence!
Adam Sandoval
Yea, they're influenced.
FWIW, on Their first interview on Jonesy’s Jukebox, while talking about their influences, the singer name a old time blues singer, and Jonesy said something like “that’s why you sound like Plant, that who he was influenced by”
RIP Vinnie Paul
Black Sabbath - Into The Void
Pantera Cemetery Gates for VInnie Paul!
Get a life loser- Vinnie was a TOOL!
King Diamond Rules! Vinnie was great guy, gtfoh.. and so was Darrell while I'm at it
Lead singer is brother of guitarists that are twins. When I was in radio my station was the first to play this group on the radio in Michigan as our town bordered theirs. Saw them play a music in the park in a small farming community.
Also.... once again, I would like to suggest the 1971 hit by Jethro Tull called Locomotive Breath. You will definitely like it. No, you will definitely love it!
Ish, but not Led Zeppelin. I haven't made up my mind yet, but I appreciate your reaction to them. Southern fried rock sound via the 60's. Judas Priest's Beyond The Realm of Death!!!! Thanks George and Ryan!!
Could you do a tribute'ish reaction to Vinnie Paul he very recently died. Pantera Drummer and older brother of Dimebag Darrell.
Bringing back rock and roll these guys are 22 years old from Frankenmuth Michigan! Lead singer and guitar player are twins the other brother is the bass player and their friend from high school playing the drums! They are bringing rock and roll back to the Forefront! Peace guys! Love you Channel you guys are awesome
Thanks guys. New sub here. I seen this group a few years ago. Not really discovered yet. I could not believe what I was hearing!! I live in Mi about 15 miles from Frankenmuth, many festivals there. I am 57 YO, and just love this ROCK!! These guys are the freshest rock I have seen in a while. They switch it up too. They have MORE ALOT more. Thank you for listening to them and giving them some open mind. I have heard them live, young man has talent!!! Entire Band has talent!!!!
In honor of Vinnie Paul's passing...how about a reaction to Pantera's "Cemetary Gates?"
A perfect circle. Judith. The hollow.
Not so Zepplish Greta Van Fleet would be: Black Smoke Rising
Laros82
Or a change is gonna come, very Janis Joplin
They are a young band. Greta Van Fleet are 3 brothers and their friend.
They are:
Josh Kiszka - Lead Vocals (22 years old)
Jake Kiszka - Lead & Rhythm Guitars (also 22 and is Josh's identical twin brother!)
Sam Kiszka - Bass guitar and organ (19 years old and is the twins younger brother)
Danny Wagner - Drums ( also 19 and a long time friend of the Kiszka brothers)
They are really starting to grow on me. As a metalhead and someone who loves a lot of old rock bands , I definitely see potential in these guys. They’re actually not too much older than I am , I’m only 18. I think they’re really going to evolve over time and grow and I feel they have along way to go . I think they’re what we need in a way , they’re keeping rock n roll alive. Some of these new Alternative bands are soo talented but they haven’t really been noticed yet . I’ve even discovered a few myself and they are good , really good. They’re gonna do great things I know it. Rock is not dead 🖤🤘🏻🔥💀
Highly Suspect ...Lydia Lydia needs a reaction from the best in the business
Whitesnake - still of the night, best transition ever
Eddie Melendez why do you
Need the use two idiots opinion on a song?? Use your open mind Jesus people
Zach Jones : Why are you even here?
TESSERACT - Of Matter (Live at Sphere Studios). I'd love to hear Zeppelin but with TesseracT's tone! would be insane!
They’re from my hometown of Frankenmuth, MI!!! I’ve seen them since Fischer Hall when they were 14! So glad to see them on SNL and nominated for four emmys! I miss when they were taking shots with us in my dad basement bar and when Danny’s (drummer) dad was my Golf coach and Danny used to walk with us and play better than us on the team when he was in 7th grade! Love GVF!
Great video guys! That begining when he yells gives me chills everytime I hear it. Just sounds so much like Zeppelin and Im a HUGE Zep fan.😎🤘👍👏👏
With the passing of Vinnie, there is only one video that matters right now. Cemetery Gates by Pantera. RIP to another legend of metal, we love ya brother!
ErichWilliam
Live for the metal. Die for the metal.
RIP Vinnie and Dimebag. 🤘
AYYY looks like y'all finally found a Led Zeppelin song that you could put on UA-cam!!
Entropathocracy69 bruh you’re not funny
been waiting for this one!!!!
Love what you guys do. Respect. These guys are knocking down the doors for rock bands like them. Since the early 90s since grunge hard rock and heavy metal bands haven't been treated seriously but this group is blowing up. This is what rockers like me and other rockers have been waiting for. There also paving the path for other classic hard rock n classic heavy metal bands to follow. I love Greta Van Fleet. The video for this song highway song has over 22 million views and they played Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show. They're loved by all generations and Led Zeppelin's singer Robert Plant loves them to. The band has said they don't intentionally mean to sound like Led Zeppelin. The singer guitarist and bassist are brothers and there parents had classic rock and blues music so they grew up on it and it's in there blood. The singer said when he started singing with them the band was so loud he just started singing over the guitar. If you whatch them on Jimmy Fallon's Tonight show doing When The Curtain Falls oh man the singer belts out alot of high notes. They do beautiful Sam Cooke song A Change is Going to Come which Otis Redding and Baby Huey did to. Edge of Darkness is a song about peace. Black Smoke Rising is about how everyone is divided today and he sings it with sadness he sings like he wishes everyone would come together no matter how much divide there is stand with your brothers and sisters of all races. They grew up on alot of music Led Zeppelin grew up on. I know if you guy saw them live you'd lose your minds it's like going back in time. There Led Zep reincarnated. I think they have some originality to them. I support them.
Classic Sound by an Awesome Band!!!! Even Robert Plant loves em!!!!
Dimmu Borgir - Progenies of the great apocalypse. The most epic black metal song ever.
Whoo
Power Trip - Executioners Tax
AJ Power Trip!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hell ya!!!!!
NXT TAKEOVER?
Alice in chains- Sunshine !
Edge of Darkness, Meet on the Ledge, & Safari Song are also good.
Hi guys! Thanks for another great and fair review! Love the reaction to a video! I love GVF, and bought their CD a couple of months ago.
I'm in NC, where they don't play a lot of great artists on our local stations. I listen to 105.5 WDHA out of NJ, which totally rocks... 🤘🏻 They even play Alter Bridge (my favorite band), which I've never heard played on an NC station.
They play a lot of lesser known songs from artists, and when I first heard Highway Tune, I thought it WAS an old Led Zeppelin song. The singer sounds exactly like Robert Plant, IMO. That's the main reason they sound so much like Led Zepplin. I was stunned to learn it was a new artist!
I like this song because it's got an uplifting beat and feeling to it. It makes you want to get up and dance. I love the entire album. They do an awesome cover of A Change is Gonna Come.
And again, I respectfully request that you react to Calm The Fire by Alter Bridge. I have no idea why it was written, but the words are so powerful and so indicative of today's society. You love Myles voice- this song really shows off his vocal range (and power). You love their guitars- Myles and Mark do not disappoint in this song.
Thanks for all you do, and keep up the good work!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
☮❤️🌎
It would be really cool if you guy's reacted to Cemetery Gates by Pantera. RIP Vinny Paul
Uriah Heep "The Wizard" please. One of the first Heavy Prog/rock bands. Amazing singer.
dalt992 they still rock too, I saw them live a couple months ago. Although it's hard to replace Byron, Shaw is also excellent
YES!!!
Yeeeesss such a beautiful song! And Raimbow demon as well... Awesome!
Please react to:
Slash-anastasia
Luke Cowley yes hell yes
It's an amazing song, and they liked myles Kennedy's voice before so they should like this and it's got killer guitar work from slash in it
One of my favorites by Slash and Myles
Hellllllllllllllllllll yes
3 brothers & a high school friend, all about 21-22 Tears old, from about an hour away from me, in Frankenmuth, Michigan.
And YES, this song sounds like Zeppelin. And it's AWESOME.
GVF are great. They are identified as 70's rock inspired like Zeppelin, Joplin, The Who, etc... Feature their song Edge of Darkness because there's that Janis Joplin hook & feel to the song. The band... Josh Ziszka (singer) & Jake Ziszka (guitar) are twin brothers. Sam Ziszka (bass) is baby bro and Danny Wagner (drums) a neighborhood friend. They're from Frankenmuth, Michigan.
Nothing More-Do you really want it!!! Very awesome and unique band!!
You have to go back to it consistently. Yes, it is very similar to Zeppelin style, but this has a youthful flair that sets it apart.
And lets be honest. You guys like some Zeppelin tunes, but by your own admission you don't really know Zeppelin's music. For us true Zeppelin fans (not to sound all hipster and crap lol), this new, fresh sound is exactly what we needed. It is exactly what rock needs. Finally, a young group, who captures that missing magical essence from 60's and 70's rock and roll.
I feel once you dive into them a bit more, you'll realize that you want more from them. We are truly witnessing something rare and magical. Lets rock!
Internet Hipsters: Why don't they make music like Zeppelin anymore??
Also Internet Hipsters: This is wannabe Zeppelin trash.
Helgard Werner it's not a hipster thing if everyone is saying it haha
Helgard Werner very wrong you dont go to rapper that has the same flow as someone else and say they are trash its just a good song done in an old style get over yourself
Maybe everyone misunderstood me. I love Zeppelin and I think Van Fleet is awesome.
"Like" not a carbon copy of led zeppelin lol these guys are straight zeppelin rip off if You ask me
Hey guys! If you want to feel their more powerful vocals check out A Change Is Gonna Come and Meet On the Ledge. I think you would both really enjoy the first one.
As an old lady, who grew up with her Bros listening to LZ n the like it's so refreshing to hear kids play instruments again. It makes u want to shake ur butt n have one hell of a good time. I like that u can hear who inspired them n with time their sound will mature. I'm just jazzed seeing people play guitars. Woot Woot! Check out black smoke rises. Killer jam and as always Bravo gentlemen for giving me something to listen to @ 2am coming home from the Vegas strip. I'm out! Love u guys! Muah
RIP Vinnie Paul, Pantera's drummer just died yesterday.
Greta Van Fleet is great! Very young and talented!
Please check Angra - Hunters and Prey!
Rest In Peace Vinnie Paul Abbott. An American Drumming Legend. I can't believe it. It's unreal. Condolences to the entire extended family especially Phil and Rex who are reliving a nightmare right now. Love & Respect to Pantera/Damageplan/Hell Yeah/Rebel Meets Rebel camps
Guys...check out the band Thin Lizzy.....
Listen to their song The Rocker....make sure to listen to 5 minute version!!!
Tom Jenkins ...we will agree to disagree....Thin Lizzy never recorded a bad song!!
Alter Bridge - Isolation (Excellent guitar riffs, strong vocals from Myles Kennedy, a great rocking jam!)
Megadeth - Symphony of Destruction (Good groove that y'all will like. Dave's growling vocals are epic)
Anthrax - Only ( One of their best, good rhythm, strong vocals from John Bush)
I just love these guys! I mean, how can you listen to this song and not catch yourself nodding your head along with the beat?! I love to blast this song in my car!!!
Listen to their cover of A Change Is Gonna Come, it’s a very well done song and it sounds different from Zeppelin
Yes! One of my favorite songs that they have done
Clutch - Cypress Grove! Do it boys!!
YES, Clutch is one of the best groove bands ever. Cypress Grove is a MUST!
They just released a brand new single from thier up coming album. The song is called "When the Curtain Falls"... go get you some of that!! Review please!!!!
Stumbled onto you guys. I'm a die-hard Zeppelin fan. Some call them imitators of Zep. But they truly love the golden age of rock. Not a copy, a tribute. This band is extremely talented.
I saw them in concert at the Fillmore in Detroit. They absolutely killed it. It's great hearing a band from Frankenmuth. And yes, they sound A LOT like Led Zeppelin.
Their next album will decide their future I'm.
Heard they played a bunch of new stuff from friends who saw them at the Filmore.
Do Audioslave please!
Audio slave - Cochise or Gasoline
should have done black smoke rising
you should do black smoke rising too
I am about to turn 59 and I absolutely love them. I grew up with Zeppelin and the boys just brought the Led back. They have a lot of music, and it's all good. Dope. I'm a fan.
Love love love GRETA VAN FLEET!! Yes they sound like Led Zeppelin...love them and glad I discovered this band!!! Congratulations to them!
Fire from the Gods - Excuse me
Any Parkway Drive too
Do domination by pantera or cemetery gates by pantera for Vinnie Paul!!
RIP VINNIE PAUL.
This is why I love this channel so much; you guys can draw an unbiased opinion about a song, based on what little you've heard of a different band. I mean, for me as a huge Zeppelin fan, this band is great! But I can see the criticism all the same, as they are very VERY similar in style. No one wants a Led Zeppelin reunion and new material as much as this guy, but I've long accepted that won't happen and a new band that sounds similar is welcome to me. But there's only one mighty Zeppelin, same with the Beatles and other great, groundbreaking bands.
So glad I discovered this channel. You guys keep this stuff up! If I had to make a suggestion, though, I'd have to say I'm interested in a take on Lynyrd Skynyrd. I'd say "Saturday Night Special" would be a good place to start.
You guys were the very 1st music video reaction channel I watched years ago. Keep up the good work. 👍👍
Honestly, their “A change is gonna come” cover is their best song.
Godzilla - Blue Oyster Cult
Veterans of the Psychic War
dwayneg99 Or Cities On Flame With Rock & Roll
Do Steve Vai- Bad Horsie..!!
The 3 front men are brothers.. The drummer is a friend. When they first started out they were still in school. I think the singer is 20 now. I'm 64 and so glad they are bringing rock back even if they do sound like Zepplin.
Black Smoke Rising is my all favorite... the story behind it is EPIC! you guys are the BEST!
King’s X - Dogman or Over My Head
One day, it'll happen . . . .
But I HOPE if they do "Over My Head", its the Live in London version, I KNOW they will be blown away. I guarantee it :).
Personallly would like to see Dogman, but to each their own, either one by Kings X would be great
King’s X !!!!!
Dogman is a great choice but maybe we could sell them on lost in germany cuz of their channel name.
Jake May haha, yes!
How about ya guys do another Pantera song in memory of Vinnie Paul the drummer from pantera who just died.
coyote 5.0 yes. Cemetery gates
Hollow
Rammstein - Mein Herz Brennt or Sonne please!
Robert Plant is amazed by them. Very impressed. And so is anyone who grew up with rock music -- REAL rock music. I am a huge fan!
The way the main singer sings is so much like Led Zeppelin the way they dress is really liked the band queen.And I’ve seen other videos and the main singer expresses himself on stage similar to Freddie Mercury But sings like Led Zeppelin
