NOTGOOD/10
Y'all know this is just my opinion, right?
If you hate Greta Van Fleet so much then why do you have one of their vinyl in the background???
LMAOOOOO

Savage. Absolute Madlad
“omg who did this??? 😂😂😂😂”

Could Greta Van Fleet be considered Led Zeppelin fanfiction?
Heh
naw，but a parody
I don't think so. They don't steal songs from afroamericans.
Yes absolutely
Ok, now you guys are just being mean
That's some good shit coming from a dude who stole his look from Where's Waldo.
Niiiice, totally dismantled his arguments! I'm on YOUR side now!
Robert with the arrogance as if he is so original
That’s pretty funny
Fucking hipsters
OakForestBoys he is a fucking little hipster turd
Nice touch having that Led Zeppelin IV vinyl record at the back lol
and to the right of that looks like led zeppelin III
Nice touch dressing as Waldo while trying to search for anything in this record
Yes, that very subtle and clever.
Greta Van Fleet: wimpy wimpy wimpy
Led Zeppelin: HEFTY HEFTY HEFTY
What's the other album?
this band is the musical embodiment of "my generation doesn't know what real music is"
i mean come on, even their name? van from van halen, and fleet from fleetwood mac. fucking posers
soothsayer their band name is the name of a real woman from their hometown, moron.
soothsayer they obviously know what real music is since they stole everything about their sound.
Not just a musical embodiment. They regularly say stuff like this in interviews. I love hard rock and all but it comes off so fucking cringey.
This band is just bollox like so many so called rock bands these days. As for LZ these twats are not even in the same league.
This is probably Radiohead's worst album.
Eh, Government Plates is a bit worse but I agree.
RandomGuy 21 i mean it wasnt that bad but if you want a masterpiece check out Pablo Honey

Gargaloyd 666 K” jbjkkhjochxx
Gargaloyd @.@
at least led zeppelin did something different with the songs they stole
Agreed
Kahn!!!!!!!!!!!! No they didn’t. Most songs they stole almost note for note word for word.
Didn't Led Zeppelin often lift lyrics and compositions but they did their own instrumentation over top of it? Then they were sued and forced to give writing credits to other artists. They often lifted old folk and blues songs, yeah they did their own thing with it but they still directly took it without giving initial credits.
Dank_Doodle_Dylan only word for word. Not more for note.
@Ben Welch all i hearing is "bro Led Zepellin stole so is ok if Greta sounds exactly like them" ffo
Remember Where's Waldo? This is him now. Feel old yet?
Yes. I feel old as shit now when I think about it. Who knew that Alcohol would destroy my life like that. I have nothing now.
Woooo that got me good 😀😁😂😂🤣😂🤣
Love your name lol

Where? I don't see him...
"My biggest annoyance with this album is that conceptually, it spits in the face of artistic evolution"
Possibly the greatest ever negative criticism you've given on a review melon.
Yeah he definitely nailed it there.
Ageeed but he also rates other things way higher that are completely garbage and do just that
david lee roth was right when he used to say " reviewers that don't like us like elvis costello because they looks like him" you look as ugly as costello and you're envy of these guys that are the first REAL Rock bands in ages FUCK YOU!
margix So basically, “IF YOU CRITICIZE ME IT’S JUST CUZ UR UGLY”
@@margix1172 broh it's fine if you like it okay everybody shitting this album is just sick of this style of music. In my opinion it's been overdone since the 70s, and everybody into greta van fleet isn't really listening to the music that music critics do enjoy.
I don't like Anthony Fantano at all for various reasons, but he and most music critics listen to more music than you or me put together because it's literally their job, and I can respect them being completely over the whole 70s loud guitar hard rock thing that has been going strong since the 60s.
It's fine that you don't agree, it just means you're into the whole 70s rock revival and aren't interested in more modern stuff
Greta Van Fleet is what you get when you actually listen to your dad about what "real" music is and never try to find anything new for yourself.
Well said
And anything “new” is rap or pop that everyone else listens to. Your also typecasting the whole genre as old people music that’s why i didn’t get into it until much later because of the typecasting.
@@Tigerkiger2002 that's not what I meant. I grew up playing in rock bands and knew a couple of bands that played very well but they were only good at imitating the classic rock sound and had no originality for themselves. I love the type of music they play but it's nothing new thats all. Dad's eat this type of music up because they're literally rehashing their Glory days. I'm glad you finally gave rock a chance though!
Austin Xavier gotcha! misunderstood that.
Its up to people to find new music. I looked and found plenty lol
Why do fans of this band claim that they are saving rock. Rock and especially metal are alive and well, just not mainstream.
Olmy because rock isn’t topping the charts. Those are just the casual listeners saying that. That’s why some of these casual listeners like Greta van fleet.
I like GVF just not this album their first album felt really orginal with only a few comparable songs to classic Zepplin
Anita Bonghit that’s not original if there just copying zeppelin lmao
I googled rock billboard about a year ago. I saw imagine dragons topping a chart. What do you mean bra
@Lkhagvasuren Davaatseren your comment got a loud, ugly laugh out of me, you get a like
I liked the video up until you pretended to be Waldo and hid behind the vinyl shelf
Waldo's body with Tintin's head
Imo, that was the best part
best comment in this format yet
+Karl Svensson Hahah, such a goofy comment. Points to you.
Wow a comment using that joke with an original punchline. Well played! Most people who still make those jokes are the Greta Van Fleet of UA-cam comments.
How dare you give Led Zeppelin a NOT GOOD?!?
They're not Led Zeppelin, dumbo, these guys are Zed Leppelin
Lol, these idiots don't even have 1% of Led Zeppelin's talent.
RedMenace led zeppelin is as much a ripoff band as whatever this lame band is. They still owe millions to the original writers of songs theyve stolen
@@captainathens Most of those "stolen" songs were lyrics that had been swiped. Zeppelin were sonically and stylistically innovative with their approach and changed the songs considerably. The only ones I can think of that were blatant ripoffs as far as the music goes were Dazed and Confused and Black Mountainside, which were improved exponentially anyways.
Zip Crappelin would be a better name.
"..few artists stole, robbed and cheated their way to the top like Led Zeppelin did."
I'm glad Fantano mentioned that, because the amount of people who deny this despite the mountain of proof readily available with the click of a finger is unfathomable. Zep was my fav band for many years and are still top 5, but you can't say they didn't rip off their favourite artists.
they didn't rip anyone off for Rain Song or Ten Years Gone, which are arguably their most influential works anyway and the ones thousands of bands borrowed riffs from
Maybe that makes GvF more Led Zeppelin than Led Zeppelin. lol
Sure, they ripped off a lot of their songs. But they recognized the potential in other sounds, and added their own distinctive style, so masterfully that those other songs pale in comparison.
Michael stfu please
I don't think anyone at this point can argue against Led Zeppelin ripping off blues artists and Randy California, but not all of their songs were ripped off per se. I mean, you can't tell me that Achilles' Last Stand was a ripoff; hell as soon as you get past IV you'll be hard pressed to find unoriginal moments as the group got more experimental and progressive.
Theory: what if Plant and Page traveled to the future just to rip off the sound of GVF
Like a bootstrap paradox?! Haha
Hey Jimmy, it's your cousin, Marvin Page. Remember that new sound you were looking for?
Bruh
@@ivangomezprado434 WELL LISTEN TO THIS!!
I was expecting you to just meme on this album like everyone else, but this is actually one of your best reviews in quite a while. It was basically a video essay on the difference between artistic influence and artistic plagiarism and, ultimately, why artistic influence, even in great amounts, doesn’t negatively impact a record, so long as the artist puts their own spin on the style or branches off from it in some way, using GVF to exemplify your feelings on a broader point of discussion in music. I like that.
Great fuckin comment too
With art It’s really about the way a concept or (in music) a sound is presented which is most important. It’s what gives an artist their own style and makes them memorable. Stealing doesn’t allow you a lasting legacy.
Yeah, it was a good review, I think Anthony is just bothered by the idea of people enjoying stagnation. I'm a car guy, a good comparison of this would be people buying new recreations of old cars, some people just like that retro feel that you can't get anymore with modern twists and production applied. Of course if you're going to directly imitate Zeppelin, you'll be compared to their work directly, and is it any surprise that they don't stand up? Did The Melon really sit down and expect these guys to beat Zeppelin at their own game? Zeppelin's talent is what made them imitated in the first place.
George Pheby Very well said! I completely agree, man.
@@aero0637 I definitely understand the 'retro feel' thing, I'm just as much of a junkie for it as the next person. Thing is, there are plenty of artists nailing the retro feel without totally ripping off specific artists. The Mystery Lights, King Gizzard, Tame Impala, War On Drugs, etc all sound like they could be recorded in a specific bygone era, but they all do something unique.
I thought you weren't reviewing old albums Melon
god damn this is fresh

Christian R more like better taste in music and using actual instruments compared to the shit you listen to
@@blue5813 you dont even know what he listens to though.....and the majority of music (and there is alot more music today than at any other point in history) has "actual" instruments (which all instruments sre real even if you dont want to accept that. Just like how the old fucks in the 1950s didnt accept rock as real music either.

Kidsbop version of Led Zeppelin.
@@gregrohs6688 >kids bop led zeppelin
why'd you kill them like that lmao
Even Stevie Wonder could see this coming.
Abel Ramirez Stevie may be faking 👀
(diss)Abel Ramirez, I was in the 5th row for a Stevie Wonder show, 1973 or 1974. I also saw Led Zeppelin around that time. Two weeks ago, I saw GVF. They don't care what the critics think. It's all about having fun and being true to yourself. If you love music, but you're musical talent is lacking, you become a critic. Again, who cares?
@@flyingfishsurf Good for them not caring what critics think, but they need to learn how to take from criticism to make something better. If I hand in a school assignment and a teacher says 'hey, you just copied that poem by edgar allen poe but changed around the words', and I said 'I dont care, you are just a critic of my work and lack talent', then id look like a damn idiot.
Dude have you ever seen Stevie Wonder's house?! Yeah well neither has he.
flyingfishsurf you sound so damn ignorant. Music critics (and critics in general) are people that are passionate about something enough to analyze it, yet don’t have the goal in mind to make music themselves. You don’t have to be an artist, to know what is good art.
Wheres Anthony? I can hear him but I dont see him....
Hiding from the album
Wow noob
haha i get it x)
Cause he’s dressed like where’s Waldo.
@@bluemcdaniel99 wow really haha we have NOT noticed that haha. Thank you for explaining this so we do not overlook that 200iq powerplay joke
Greta Van Fleet is like if Tenacious D took themselves 100% seriously. They sound like a parody of rock music without any of the self awareness to back any of it up.
philly_ sports Tenacious D is so much better than GVF
It also helps that JB and Kage are better musicians and songwriters than any member of GVF will ever be.
Oooooooof
Greta Van Fleet are not the best band in the world. Nay! They are just a tribute!
Irishman Rants Lol
All while not admitting they’re influenced by Zeppelin.
Bc they're not, they grew up listening to the same things LZ did

Greta Van Fleet is not a Led Zepplin cover band, it's a Led Zepplin fan fiction band.
This is so correct. And it isn't a bad thing, either.
Oooooooohhhhh, burnnnnnnnn.
Maybe this is a new wave of fanfic bands and we'll see a Stones fanfic or a black sabath fanfic
extemely well put
except, you can't publish your own fan fiction with the original characters as your own story you dumbass
To the boomers in the comments: Plenty of modern rock music has an old school feel to it without needing to essentially just be discount Led Zeppelin. The Oh Sees and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard in particular lean hard on the '70s style acid/psych rock feel, but both have different approaches - The Oh Sees blend it with punk, KGLTW play into their weird songwriting. Then you've got bands like Samsara Blues Experiment, that lean further into the sort of prog-rock influences of bands like The Doors, King Crimson, and Moody Blues without copying those bands the same way GVF does with Zep.
KGLTW - Psychedelic Rock
The Oh Sees - Punk Psychedelic
Samsara Blues Experiment - Prog Stoner Psychedelic
None of these bands outputs are comparable to Led Zeppelin. I like these bands, but do you have any other new bands that are making classic hard blues rock?
ok then, you go and rip off Led Zeppelin and become famous as fuck and sell out shows... and then come back and talk ✌️
Orc is such a killer album...I wouldn't even let GVF do a coffee run for me, they would suck at it and fuck up the order
@@gordoncrawford6300 Rival Sons, Kaleo, Goodbye June, Vintage Trouble. Those bands blend the older 70s Zeppelin vibe you seek. Rival Sons being the most vintage I guess, Kaleo and Goodbye June have more modern touches, Vintage Trouble play some sofyer stuff, they are more soul and blues influenced rather than rock, but still, very good. Then if you seek "Hard Blues Rock" I don't actually know exactly what you mean by that but in my mind I would recommend these guys, Black Pistol Fire, Left Lane Cruiser, 20 Watt Tombstone, Black Keys earlier records, The Blackwater Fever, The Bonnevilles, Tyler Bryant & The Shakedowns, Black River Delta. Those bands are more focused on really dirty and muddy blues, lots of fuzz and distortion, many of them are just drums and guitar, (and vocals). It could be called Hard Blues Rock, but they are not zeppelin like if that was what you ment, but if you like dirty blues you should really check out the bands I meantioned. 👍
@@hallamalla98 Thanks for the recommendations man! Been a fan of Rival Sons and The Black Keys for a while but I haven't heard of any of the other ones, I will be sure to listen.
Saw a comment on one of Greta Van Fleets songs, where someone was giving some high praise. Someone in the comments asked for good modern music suggestions like Greta Van Fleet. The person said "Look into Tom MacDonald, Brandon Hart, Nova Rockafella, NF, (all Rap). - though I’m not usually into Rap at all, but these guys (mainly Tom) changed my mind".
We have pushed beyond parody lol
That’s fucking priceless
that is dire.
i hope you screencapped that
The sheer amount of people who haven't mentally matured past the mindset of a 13 year old classic rock fan is astounding to me.
I know the term "lolcow" is meant for people like Chris Chan, but my lord if "lolcow" doesn't perfectly describe these types of cringelords.
"Greta Van Fleet is a cover band without the covers." *nods* well said
That's called a tribute band
"nods" lol
Originality is not the be all end all of music 😪 sad but true
Wow, thats crazy dumb

Get ready to hear on the news how they “mysteriously died” and how a melon “just so happened to be near the scene”
“Pregaming to listen to an actual led zeppelin album”
Lmao
The funny thing is, that by reinforcing the idea that rock is a stagnant genre, resistant to innovation, Greta Van Fleet is actually doing more to kill rock than save it.
Thats some pretty bullshit you are saying

But there are nice tracks like When the Levee Breaks or Going to California.
@NoiseFeedMusic sure it's been overplayed and so has smells like teen spirit but both of them are still good songs. Both are very well constructed songs.
Greta Van Fleet fans honestly need to listen to King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard. They're a band that has kind of a classic rock feel, but they put their own twists on it that make them sound completely original.
Totally
You can like both, but King Gizzard is dull as shit, no good songs.

@@stephanea5364 such an awful take. They're easily one of the most prolific bands rn with an extremely unique and identifiable sound and they manage to keep this unique sound in every genre that they tackle. Listen to their albums Polygondwanaland, Fishing For Fishes, and then Infest the Rats Nest.

Greta van Fleet is the ideal band for people who think that no good music has been released since 1987, despite only listening to classic rock radio stations and foaming at the mouth whenever their UA-cam recommendations show either someone younger than 46 or a woman holding a guitar.
Damn your a dumbass. I love Greta Van Fleet because they have a hard rock blues driven sound which, I'm sorry, has been absent for nearly 40 fucking years. I'm sorry if the following sentence offends you but the music made nowdays, pretty much from everyone is absolute crap. It's soulless, heartless garbage made by people who realized that being a musician pays them better than being a damn convenience store clerk. I'll take GVF over the majority of artists today any day, and that is including Royal Blood whom I really, really like.

There has been good music, but it is extremely hard to find and that’s a shame. The mainstream bands nowadays don’t do it for me, they are all homogenized, sound extremely manufactured and industrial. Like they were made with a stamp press in some kind of factory. There are some good bands like Goose, Uncle Lucius, Black Country Communion and a few others but in my personal opinion most of the music made post 1980 is regurgitated garbage.

I wholeheartedly agree! The only Dragons songs I genuinely like is the infamous Radioactive, I Bet My Life, Friction, and It's Time.

@@RR-dh5gr what else would it be?
imo midwest emo and some indie are the only types of original "rock" being produced right now that's worth listening.
Queens of the Stone Age too
The thing that irritated me most about this album is that it's dad rock's savior, while bands like Raconteurs are subsequently ignored because their demographic is resistant to musical evolution even within their own favorite genres.
The elitism is just so damn blatant.
I love rock, but rock fans are fucking stupid. Rock musicians' resistance to change and insistence to make rock that sounds like" music from the good old days" is why it's not popular anymore.
Khadijah Johnson exactly. I’ve said the same thing many times. Rock “died” because it stopped innovating. Arguably the last wave of rock bands that did something out of the ordinary were those Nu metal bands. Say what you want about them, but they were doing something different and they were hated for doing so. Since those bands fell out of favor with the mainstream, there has been no new innovative type of rock that has emerged. Therefore rock is “dead”.
Raconteurs suck too
@@mskcrc they put out one good album...but that's about it
Thanks for another album recommendation, Melon.
Plot twist, they’re actually a Rush incarnate and this is their debut. When they go all proggy and start writing 15 minute long songs, I told you so.
Let’s hope… I don’t really see it though. Rush at least had Working Man.
As a major rush fanatic, I'd love that
Greta Van Fleet make 15 minute songs? Lmaoo
So where’s Working Man? Finding My Way? Here Again?
I think it would be basically impossible to copy Rush accurately lol
I've always thought Greta van fleet was a zeppelin tribute band that just wrote their own songs
Better than a straight up cover band
Black Bolt no actually because they pay 0 homage to who they’re blatantly ripping off. Just how LZ didn’t credit the songs they took. At least they did something with them though. GVF is a joke
ripping off Zeppelin was already lame and passe when Wolfmother did it 15 years ago
Dude, how about Whitesnake and Kingdom Come in the late 80's? Shamelessly lame. Seems to be a reoccurring thing every so often that bands rip off Zeppelin LOL
Yeah. Ppl tend to forget about Wolfmother. They sounded more like Led Zeppelin than Greta does, and I dislike both bands (Greta & Wolf).
I consider the Wolfmother thing to have been an amalgamated rip - off of Cream, Sir Lord Baltimore, and the first two Deep Purple albums, but a lot of people who know more about Zep than I do are saying Zep, so it's fairly likely to be true.

Greta Van Fleet is going to copy Lynyrd Skynyrd next.
Yes, everyone has already shit on Greta Van Fleet enough... But most of those people just meme on them, they don't actually say anything with substance. Even Pitchfork just used this opportunity to be "Savage." At least the melon had something significant and insightful to say. His critique could actually help the band if they saw this.
Jacob H.F. C , true. I like the memeing as much as the next guy but I don't remember anyone with such a platform before Anthony explaining concisely why the popularity of GVF is saddening.
P4K review was such garbage. It wasn't a music review so much as an exercise in Brooklyn-flavored cultural dick-waving
Viraus2 “Brooklyn-flavored cultural dick-waving” sounds like a line ripped directly out of a pitchfork review
david lee roth was right when he used to say " reviewers that don't like us like elvis costello because they looks like him" you look as ugly as costello and you're envy of these guys that are the first REAL Rock bands in ages FUCK YOU!
@@margix1172 So "real rock" is sounding similar to another, better band in every way except the ones that matter?
Christ, bands used to at least do their own spin on an old sound. Zeppelin made the blues heavy and mythic, Ramones made bubblegum pop for weirdos, The Beatles crossed skiffle with psychedelia. We shouldn't be rewarding people for settling.

If greta van fleet is the first rock band you've ever heard its amazing.
I am very confused.
@@featherycoffee1401 I think they mean if you haven't listened to any other rock bands (especially Zeppelin) Greta Van Fleet will sound great because of how much they borrow from 70s - 80s rock.
I'm a simple man really. Even if I dont know the artist, if i see NOT GOOD i click.
“Tell me brother.. What were you the god of again!?”

Pepito Underrated comment
You don't have to agree with him. But dammit, he backs up his point of view pretty thoroughly.
My biggest issue with GVF is that there are so many people who could have done what they do, copy the direct sound and style of a classic band, but didn't and don't.
Throughout UA-cam you can find so many talented vocalists who can perfectly emulate beloved acts, but they either directly cover them, make tribute bands, or try to make their own thing at most inspired by those musicians.
Basically, numerous talented people before them had the opportunity to do this and decided not to take the easy route and pander to a specific tunnel visioned demographic
I think that if Josh didn't sound so much like Robert Plant people wouldn't be saying they're a zeppelin copy. They said themselves led zeppelin wasn't their main influence, and personally I dont think they're going out of their way to sound like zeppelin, it's just the way they rock
Big Bird but it’s not just the voice. Their riffs sound like a copy and paste of a zeppelin riff. I believe one comparison was Greta’s “highway tune” and zeppelins “the rover”. People don’t dislike Greta cause his voice sounds like Roberts. They don’t like them cause the music they make is uninspired and already been done many times and in every kind of way by loads of other bands.
So many ppl can do the same thing they do, or wait, they cant
Spot on mate
GVF are a garage band that got on UA-cam. Then some agent saw them and decided that they could give all the Boomers a dose of nostalgia. And every 20 year old is convinced they're hearing something that is fresh and new. The rest of us just roll our eyes. That's life. That's experience. Try explaining this to a Gen Y. You'll just get... OK BOOMER!!!

Not so long ago i watched a great analysis out there about Blazing Saddles. The main point of YoU CoUldN'T Do bLaZinG sAdDlEs TodAY doesn't turn around that you wouldn't be able because they won't let you because PC or sensitivity or whatnot, but because Blazing Saddles had a meaning and a context where making it was brilliant and groundbreaking, because it brought out a lot of things. If you would try to make Blazing Saddles today, it' wouldn't make much sense. It won't tell anything interesting and wouldn't have that edge. Because it have already been made in the time it was made, and we live in the time after Blazing Saddles. It would look and act and its story would be cool... but blazing saddles already exists.
Greta Van Fleet is making Blazing Saddles today.
These guys music is like getting a degree in writing and composition only to then use it to write fan fiction
God damn you didnt have to kill them like that
That's pretty accurate lol
People say they are reviving rock and roll but I feel more like they're beating a dead horse.
Thank you for saying that
I hate where we're going musically though
Greta Van Fleet is doing the opposite and people saying they are bringing back rock is the reason its dead. It shows signs that rock can't evolve without turning into millennial whoops and woahs such as Imagine Dragons, Glorious Sons, etc.
Coin at least one person doesn’t suck up to this where’s Waldo doosh
@@deangillberry3922 You are aware I am siding with fantano. Saying that boomers are not allowing rock to evolve if they think Greta Van Fleet is the savior to rock music.
Greta Van Fleet III and IV will be 70s classics

Sorting by new in this comment section is insane. So many "born in the wrong generation" people either saying that GVF don't sound like Led Zep or that Anthony is wrong because GVF are popular.
It’s honestly kinda fun on these videos to see other perspectives (obviously mostly incomplete ones) but also to kinda laugh at some of those cringe ones
Bringing rock back does not mean devolving back into the 70’s. Do what like Grundge or Britpop did in the nineties, take specific influences and develop them into a new sound, not literally pretending to be your influence
I'm so torn on this band. Led Zeppelin is one of my favorite bands of all time, so shouldn't I be excited by the chance to hear more songs that sound like theirs? But I can't get past the rip off factor, like most people.
It comes down to are you a Led Zeppelin fan or a fan of music
@Riley Martin this comparison shouldn't work as well as it does good work
just listen to zep. this band exists for literally no reason
Riley Martin OH RILEY! O-Qua Tangin Wann 👽
you're torn on whether or not you like the "rip-off" band that rips-off the band notorious for ripping-off some of their biggest songs from other people?
So many other artists have been doing a better job at keeping rock alive/relevant AND managing to creatively push the genre’s boundaries in an innovative way, such as Jack White, St. Vincent, The National, Father John Misty, Ariel Pink, The War On Drugs, Kurt Vile, Courtney Barnett and Connan Mockasin. The vast majority of Greta Van Fleet fans seem to want to ignore all those talented people and instead want to idolize a mediocre classic rock revival band and act like they’re the second coming of Jesus Christ. It’s really sad
Don't forget QOTSA
A lot of their fans seem to act like their bringing rock back from the dead and saving music's current landscape.
Couldn't have said it beter!
GRETA VAN FLEET IS KILLING ROCK!!!
its so weird, I mean, I used to be somewhat of a classic rock fan/purist but as I listened to so many of more of somewhat "modern" artists even from the 90s, I can't help but to realize this is the best era for the rock. it's like jazz in 50s and 60s, it may not be at the peak of commercial success but artistically it's killing it. like, when I saw Tera Melos live I forgot that people say rock is dead or something, it was the most exciting thing I have every seen
Uncle Remus I completely agree- best comment on this whole video tbh
Hello people sorting by new
Yes hello
Heard a greta van fleet song on the radio for the first time. Never heard of them, but I thought it was a Led Zeppelin track at first. As soon as I heard the radio announce the artist after the song was finished, I was legitimately pissed off
“They don’t really sound like Led Zeppelin, they sound more like Rush with Aerosmith, I literally hear no Robert Plant. At least they’re better than all the crap on teh radio1!!”
@@pazuzu6589 "they're young and doing what they love why does everyone have to hate on them how many fans do u have I bet you like Kanye"
@@BungleJoogie68 Kanye blows out of the water Greta Van Fleet. That man has five classics under his belt and his discography has always been great since his debut in 2004. And the best part? With every single album he has always experimented and tried new things. There are never two albums of him that sound the same
@@pietropiva1376 he was just imitating bro
Jeff Beck (I think) once said, "If you steal from one source, it's plagiarism... if you steal from many sources, then it's RESOURCE" ...something to think about.
Greta Van Fleet's gonna come out saying that the band doesn't exist and is actually a computer AI created to emulate the sounds of other artists.
At least they would be cool
But they’re known as one of the best live bands now a days so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The boomer version of the MBDTF review. 3 years in and they're still coming in droves to defend their dollar store LZ.
What kills for me though are the corny ass lyrics.
How can you people shit in these comments claiming to be proponents of "real music" and real artistic expression and then immediately shit on and discredit entire genres of modern music like Rap and Hip-hop. It's like you learned nothing from the cultural significance of the bands and musical movements of the past. Surprise surprise, kids still don't want to listen to their elders music.
I can't believe you didn't like the new led Zeppelin album damn
These guys and Lil Baby had better not get on a plane anytime soon, or else they're going to follow Buddy Holly to music Valhalla.
Κ ο μ ν η ν ό ς Or burn in hell with Chuck Berry, was a bad dude.
I remember hearing them for the first time several years ago while working in a Guitar Center warehouse, one of my coworkers put it on. I literally said What the hell Zeppelin album is this??
Watch it there next album is going to sound like Guns and Roses because they moved from the seventies to the eighties.
People that praise Greta van fleet as "saviors of rock" are the whole reason rock is dying out, they don't dare to give anything new a chance cuz they're stuck in THEIR time deeming everything that comes as stupid and "not as good as it was back in my day" that's when the music starts to die out because of lack of inovation and a new audience.. won't be long till rock is looked at as being old people music if lazy cover bands like this keep getting attention
It already is old people music, no one wants to admit it, but it is.
I think you’ll find rock is not dying out, it’s just not popular because the majority of people are into 3 minute cheesy hip hop songs about drink, drugs, and sex. There are plenty of modern rock bands that have surfaced in recent years; Tyler Bryant & The Shakedown, Rival Sons, Snake Charmer, The Dust Coda, BlackBerry Smoke, The Cadillac Three, Greta Van Fleet... I could go on. Just because it’s not slapped in your face, doesn’t mean it’s still out there, you just have to look for it. For the record I’m 24 and can’t stand listening to the radio because it’s all the same trash. No vision, no direction, no imagery, no inspiration. Just samples and remixes left, right and centre. 🇬🇧
@@RealRogGuitar Dude, nobody is going to take you seriously if you open up with an ignorant statement like that.
@@RealRogGuitar As if rock isn't cluttered with songs about the exact same stuff lmao
Extreme metal in all of its forms is currently, to some extent, what hard rock and prog rock were in terms of vitality and an exciting alternative to mainstream music. There are so many excellent extreme metal bands out there, and lots of creativity, innovation, hybrid styles/subgenres ... (despite of what some birds of bad omen constantly repeat about a supposed stagnation or death). For those who besides the rock of the 70's and the 80's "classic" heavy metal also like extreme metal, there's still a lot of excitement out there thanks to bands like Obscura, Beyond Creation, Barren Earth, Persefone, Ne Obliviscaris, Horrendous, Ruins of Beverast, Hooded Menace, Ulcerate, Voivod, Vektor, Power Trip, Yob, High on Fire, Tribulation, Moonsorrow, Deathspell Omega, etc etc ...

its really bad when even GVF live performances have the singer trying so hard to emulate all of robert plant's movements/mannerisms its actually disgusting to, yall should try it out
From the live performances I’ve seen of them, the vocalist sounds like he can’t even get his voice properly in Plant’s range
