I'm 41 and have been a Led Zeppelin fan since high school. I'm a Zeppelin snob too: I have every album in at least 2 remastered CD versions, and the vinyl remastered versions. I say all this because I absolutely LOVE GVF and hope they go on to greater and bigger things. They've brought the blues back to rock, and when you say "real music" that's what it means. The blues is what makes rock great. When your songs are rooted in the blues you cannot go wrong. Yes, you will sound similar to Led Zeppelin but you're still doing your own thing. Nothing but love for GVF.
Harry Henderson: Almost right but Josh (singer) and Jake (lead guitar) are not only brothers but also twins !! Sam is the bass player and their childhood friend, Danny is the drummer.
Talkin Bout Nawlins Your pretty annoying bro with the math test. Stop assuming shit, not a good quality . Yes 12 years old , Oakland Coliseum Day on The Green 1977. Last US show.
I tried to explain the phrase "Real Music" to a music critic on another GVF video and I said "It's hard to define it but we all know what Real Music means".
dude, there are tons of great bands out there playing great music I'm 50 and discover new stuff all the time, lots of guitars are still being played, it's harder to discover because everything is out there and you just have to wade through lots of shit, but it is out there
Lots of good music out there in the past 20 years that were heavily inspired by blues and classic rock besides GFV. Bands like The Black Keys, Arcade Fire, Cage the Elephant, Mute Math, The Strokes, The Mars Volta, Arctic Monkeys and I could go on and on. These are bands that loved the sounds of the 50's-70's (and some early 80's influence) and integrated it into their music. GFV has an incredible energy and is getting more young people into guitar music again and older people into new music, so I can't say anything bad about them, but some of the bands I listed I feel make better overall music but that is entirely subjective.
Love seeing a Zepplin fan's first reaction to GVF ... Lol. First time I heard this song on the radio , I was positive that someone had unearthed some old , never before heard Led Zepplin. "When The Curtain Falls" is one of many must reactions ... 😬👍🏼
You don't even know how to properly spell Led "Zeppelin" so it's easy to see why you thought Greta was them. Yes Greta do have a sound based on Zep, but i'd never mistake them for them.
@@greatunz67 Dude when I first heard them I thought It was an unreleased Zeppelin song.. I know my Zeppelin.. You might know them now but This was like 2 years ago..
@@greatunz67 Robert Plant straight up said that GVF were Zeppelin one. He thinks they sound alike and he likes them so I don't know why people are being so negative about it. I'm a huge Zeppelin fan and liking GVF won't change that. Yes, they do sound like Zeppelin in this song, but they are not running around doing Zeppelin covers and trying to be a tribute band. They are doing their own thing and from what I've been told, they are actually trying not to sound like them. I'm looking forward to hearing more of their songs. I like them.
These young men are bringing good ole rock and roll to younger folks. I thought it was dead for ever. Congrats to these boys. So what if they sound like Zep, that’s a compliment. I was raised on Zep and these boys have impressed me!
The three stages of first hearing GVF, if you are familiar with LZ: 1) Hmm. Interesting instrumentals. 2) Wait! He sounds like Plant!?? 3)...How...They can't...He just...how...wow...
Discovered these guys in late 2017. The band name comes from an 88-year-old woman named Gretna Van Fleet, who lives in their hometown of Frankenmuth, Michigan. Also, Robert Plant himself has said he likes them in an interview from April 2018.
@@bubamaranovichok4901he said "I hаtе _them"_ but people generally agree to it being sarcasm as he had just cited them as one of the newer bands he liked
You had me tickled. Lol I could see the excitement rising in you😊 they truly give you a wonderful rush,... can't get enough of them!!!. I'll never forget the first time they stopped me in my tracks in 2017.
rodentcafeteria yeah during that scream, I specifically thought of the ‘a whole lot of love’ high note. When he goes Loveeeeeeeee and it falls off like that. I also though of iggy pop’s tv eye I don’t know why.
These guys are semi-local to me (Chicago) and I’ve been following them for a while and I really like this band. Be sure to check out more from them. They’re more than a Zep cover band!!
I love your "thank the music gods" part, because that's how I reacted when I first heard them a year or so ago. It's like Elwood's joke "Y'know so much of the music we here today is pre-programmed electronic disco, we never get a chance to hear master blues-men practicing their craft anymore. By the year 2006, the music known today as the blues will exist only in the classical records department of your local public library." Music in general -- pop more than any other genre -- seems to be living up to that in the lack of real instruments, real talent, real skill, much less actually letting a singer sing without mixing or auto-tuning the piss out of it... and everyone knows a good rock song is built on an attitude of piss and vinegar. Or the part in "Be Cool" -- "J-Lo? that shit's been mixed so much I could sound like Jenny from the Block!" Every time I start to worry about the state of modern music, something comes along to tell me it's going to be alright. O'Keefe Music foundation; Postmodern Jukebox; Camille and Kennerly; Two Cello's; Lindsey Stirling; and now Greta Van Fleet. Good music made by talented people is still out there. ... even if big business is trying to shove "music" built entirely out of marketing statistics down our gullets. Laugh is a lot of the kids are starting to realize just that as their tastes mature. I know a lot of young people who spend more time listening to the likes of Kansas, Rush, and Foreigner than they do talentless tone-deaf auto-tuned hacks like Beyonce or Cardi B.
This reaction of yours sends chills up my spine and gives me serious goosebumps! LOL! And I'm an old guitar player! Hahaha! The music still has its hold on me and forever will! I'll never stop playing and getting those goosebumps!
Hi, Sandy! I'm a HUGE Led Zeppelin fan. Greta Van Fleet gives me hope for the future of rock music ❤ I love it. They actually rocked it out at the last Coachella so I'm surprised that you haven't heard of them before. The lead singer has been battling pharyngitis but hopefully they'll be back on tour soon.
I know what you mean! Lately, I've been rooting for and loving the classic rock sound coming from Greta Van Fleet, The Struts, and Rival Sons ... then, Dimash happened! It's hard to pull away from Dimash for very long! :)
Robert Plant is a huge GVF fan. On several occasions he has talked about how much he enjoys their music. And I agree, it warms my old heart to hear these boys’ music. Makes me feel like a teenager again!
They need to film a video inside Bronners it's touted as the world's largest Christmas store in Frankenmuth to see how many ornaments they could shatter while rocking down it would be great for the tourists who come to Frankenmuth Michigan's little Bavaria
You should check out Great Van Fleet's live performance on the Tonight show which was their new single and got a standing ovation from every seat in the house and believe me when I say it's even better than the album version! They do "When the Curtain Falls", another bad ass song that I'd bet you'd like even more than "Highway Song". I'm 63 and I have to say that I haven't been this excited about any new band since I saw The Beatles live on Ed Sullivan!
Tacoma 55 LOL that was the performance that really bought the haters out, really pissed off a lot of people that had heard about how great they were, and then that.So sick of people calling that horrible singer great, honestly I cannot think of another singer as bad. GVF is Rock music for the Kardashian’s generation, fake, bloated, promoted to the masses.
Tacoma 55 What does Led Zeppelin have to do with my comment? Are you insinuating that Led Zeppelin fans are jealous of GVF? Hardly the case GVF suck all by themselves.
This was a treat. You are as real as it gets and I really appreciated your reaction here. I bought their cd's a week ago and I can't stop listening to them. I'm really hooked on From the Fires. Nice job. Be well, smylyface. :)
Stumbled across your channel and glad you found GVF. THIS is what mainstream rock has been missing. You'd be surprised how many artists praise their sound regardless if they sound like Zeppelin or not.
A cousin of mine shared this band with me last July 2018....They are Led Zeppelin guilty...hehe...Sandy...you are the first reactor I am following all over the place with your reactions....besides Dimash and HuaHua....Thanks...I'm having a blast....!!!!!! Detroit still produces music...
these guys are great. I fell in love with the sound the moment I heard them ! I grew up in the 70's and they are a breath of fresh air in this modern day of pretentious performers, fake autotuned stars and bad musicianship . What a well needed departure these guys are from the crap passing as music today..great reaction vid !
I'm sixty three and was a singer in rock bands during the seventies, eighties and nineties. I can still hit those notes but I can't hold them near as long as that boy. GVF Rocks!
Just wanted to give you an update - I finally saw GVF live Sunday night at the Nautica Stage in Downtown Cleveland, Ohio. They were AMAZING!!! If you ever have the chance you have got to see these guys live. This may be their last tour playing venues that have less than 20,000 seats. Demand was through the roof for this show with SRO being 5500 for this venue, and tickets selling out in 15 minutes when they went on sale last September! Their sound mix was fantastic, you could hear and feel every note clear and clean, and Josh owned the stage! Oh by the way - Sam, the bassist? He plays keyboards as well, and while playing keys he plays the bass line at the same time with foot pedals! Yeah, these guys are talented alright!!!
I don't understand why they are not more popular. Our "music" industry sucks. It's run by a bunch of suits that don't know $hit about music. It's all about $$$$.
@@smylyface most of these radio stations are run by consultants who do market research and study focus groups etc. and if it doesn't meet the smell test of what they think will sell on a certain demographic the station won't play it. If a DJ goes rogue and plays it anyway they get fired. Most of the stations only have maybe 300 or so songs in rotation. With maybe 20 or 30 songs in heavy rotation.
GRETA VAN FLEET ALWAYS ROCKS THE HOUSE!!!- YOU PICKED THE PERFECT VERTION OF HIGHWAY TUNE TO LISTEN TOO!! Josh rocks this out!! And when I herd it I was blown away!!! There are several DIFFERANT VERTIONS of this song and this one is the one!!! I love every song they sing and I'm a true fan!! Take care and rock out!!!
Good old rock n roll has been missing in action for years. I hope this ignites a spark in their generation and reignites rock n roll. I took it for granted in the 70's
What's scary is these kids are just starting out. They are all under 25 if I'm not mistaken and the three are brothers and their friend is the drummer. Look forward to watching them evolve.
I am an Irishman living in the Upper peninsula of Michigan and this band is from Frankenmuth Mi and the vocalist and guitarist are twins and the Bass player is their little brother and drummer is a friend, and when I first heard them I thought the 3 original members of Zeppelin and Jason Bonham recorded new music , Happy Accident....
You have made me eat my words. I have never watched a reaction video, but I like Wings of Pegasus since he does analyses videos and he is very respectful of every act he critiques, and he gives a great back story. With GVF he talked about some reaction videos that slagged them off. So I went searching for a reaction video, which I never watch. But I loved your reaction, and would like to thank you for your comments. Don't know what languages you were speaking, but good on you for having the brain capacity to open up your mind to another culture. Bonsoir.
Talented group of whippersnappers!.....roflmao! Totally agree with those saying - YES, finally some real singing, instrument playing and socially focused "young dudes".... 😎
They put out a live video call in the darkness or something like that...long solo...fantastic...you can watch the guitar playing getting better and better...they are talented and are growing more so every time I see them. This performance is worth watching!
I love Greta Van Fleet! Glad you found out about them. If you're looking to hear some more classic rock vibes with spectacular vocals, exceptional drums and guitar, and blues thrown in, Rival Sons Feral Roots album is probably a recommendation you'll see a lot!
It's unfortunate that people just so happen to get turned on to one of GVF's tunes that sound like Zeppelin first. That said, the more you listen to Greta, know all of their recorded material, then you get to find out how mostly they don't sound like Zeppelin.
That's the fucking true, that's what I say. If u want to find similarities u wilk find them, because they are there, but If u focus in the differences also u will find them. They also have something from rush and black crowes. Soooo
Seen GVF twice live and they put on a damn great gig, their concerts are very diverse in the age range between 20 - 70. My parents are in their 70's and absolutely love these kids because it puts them in a better time, mentally. Can't believe that you're now finding out about them. Want another band to blow your mind "Rival Sons - Pressure & Time" for your next reaction. P.S. Your smile turned me into a sub.
This is awesome...great energy...that guitar groove is off the chain added with those vocals will keep this band rocking for a while...look up the video of Robert plants take on this band
Greta Van Fleet from Frankenmuth Michigan. Got the name from their school music teacher, Gretna Van Fleet. When when I first heard them I thought what the heck is this? Quickly researched. Okay, these guys are on their way up in a hurry. And sure enough they rocketed to stardom. 3 brothers and a drummer. Receiving enormous praise from Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, Elton John, and Robert Plant. Robert Plant saying that the singer reminded him of someone he knew a very long time ago. Embarking on a UK tour in 2019. These kids have good seeds of Rock planted within them, watch them grow.
Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan, formed in 2012. It consists of vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist Sam Kiszka, and drummer Danny Wagner. They were signed to Lava Records in March 2017 and a month later the band released their debut studio EP, Black Smoke Rising.
Search for the video of RP being interviewed. He says "Gretta Van Fleet IS US when we first started". I get chills every time I hear that song. Makes me feel 16 again, I'm 65 now.
My jaw literally DROPPED the first time I heard GVF. Probably one of the best bands right now. AMAZING. They’ve got so much ENERGY, especially in today’s music world of pre-programmed beats, it’s so refreshing to hear a band that still love to ROCK!!! Rock 🪨 isn’t Dead ☠️ “Highway Tune” is pure EARGASM. 👂 🎼 🎸 🤘
Think I'll sub in Hope's you react to more greta van fleet. The more you listen to them the more you will see these guys are unique an something truly great in the works
Yay! Welcome aboard. 🛸👽 I will definitely be reacting to more of them! The new RUclips copyright rules are causing major issues, especially for reactors, so I may have to start inserting annoying pauses in my videos. They now get blocked worldwide. Well, some of them do... others do not. Last week I was able to post a video and another reactor tried to post the same video from the same sight on the same day and his was blocked while mine was not. It's confusing and really slows things down but I promise there is one in the works right now. Hopefully you will see it this weekend!
So true, GVF: the first band, in I have no idea how long, to bring back the joy of raw rock, with a look to match. Just please keep doing what you’re doing darlings!
Robert plant has actually heard them and he said they sound do sound like zeppelin when they were first starting, they have evolved quite a bit since this song but are still a great group I hope to see them live someday

There are several DIFFERANT VERTIONS of this song and this one is the one!!! I love every song they sing and I'm a true fan!! Take care and rock out!!!
I kind of had the same reaction when I heard them the first time about a year ago. Greta Van Fleet rocks!
Love this band! I got my daughter listening to them and she’s 29! 🤘🏻🤘🏻💙
Good old rock n roll has been missing in action for years. I hope this ignites a spark in their generation and reignites rock n roll. I took it for granted in the 70's
im 66 and a beatle snob ,but thru the years have opened my ears and listented to all [zep] and others ,but now we have greta, very cool
What's scary is these kids are just starting out. They are all under 25 if I'm not mistaken and the three are brothers and their friend is the drummer. Look forward to watching them evolve.
This was the first song they wrote and recorded together. Talent.
You gotta see them live just fantastic. Nice reaction!
Enjoyed your Reaction ! THANKS
I am an Irishman living in the Upper peninsula of Michigan and this band is from Frankenmuth Mi and the vocalist and guitarist are twins and the Bass player is their little brother and drummer is a friend, and when I first heard them I thought the 3 original members of Zeppelin and Jason Bonham recorded new music , Happy Accident....
Holy mackerel! That is not what I expected either. Takes me back to my younger days. I absolutely love it. Like you, I've never heard them before.
So story about them the lead singer and lead guitar player are twins bass player is younger brother drums is one of thier childhood friends
Yayyyy Finally a woman’s reaction ! I fell in love with this band and was hooked ! 52 year old woman hooked !
Absolutely love your response! I completely agree with you, I am thanking music gods!
Spot on reaction, i was amazed too, they aren't just an emulation of Led Zep though , they have the skills and write some great songs.
You have made me eat my words. I have never watched a reaction video, but I like Wings of Pegasus since he does analyses videos and he is very respectful of every act he critiques, and he gives a great back story. With GVF he talked about some reaction videos that slagged them off. So I went searching for a reaction video, which I never watch. But I loved your reaction, and would like to thank you for your comments. Don't know what languages you were speaking, but good on you for having the brain capacity to open up your mind to another culture.
Bonsoir.
Talented group of whippersnappers!.....roflmao! Totally agree with those saying - YES, finally some real singing, instrument playing and socially focused "young dudes".... 😎
They put out a live video call in the darkness or something like that...long solo...fantastic...you can watch the guitar playing getting better and better...they are talented and are growing more so every time I see them. This performance is worth watching!
I love Greta Van Fleet with all my heart and this postive reaction make me so happy😍😍
I love this band
Love your reaction! regards.
nice to know, that you like this song Sandy. i like them too. they have a bright future in music business.
I love Greta Van Fleet! Glad you found out about them. If you're looking to hear some more classic rock vibes with spectacular vocals, exceptional drums and guitar, and blues thrown in, Rival Sons Feral Roots album is probably a recommendation you'll see a lot!
had to see it again just for her reaction ,love her expressions and surprise
That was priceless. I don't know which I enjoyed most, the awesome song or your reaction.
It's unfortunate that people just so happen to get turned on to one of GVF's tunes that sound like Zeppelin first. That said, the more you listen to Greta, know all of their recorded material, then you get to find out how mostly they don't sound like Zeppelin.
They do tho... Like i get that you get to notice the little differences after a while, but they still sound like them 😂
Don White ah, they do. Pretty much plagiarism. That said they’re very good at it.
Then again, LZ plagiarised everything from the Deep South as well.
I 100% agree with this, they are Blues rock for sure but they are not remade LZ.
That's the fucking true, that's what I say. If u want to find similarities u wilk find them, because they are there, but If u focus in the differences also u will find them.
They also have something from rush and black crowes. Soooo
For real they have their own sound and its sooo good. Even their dad on the harmonica is awesome.
Seen GVF twice live and they put on a damn great gig, their concerts are very diverse in the age range between 20 - 70. My parents are in their 70's and absolutely love these kids because it puts them in a better time, mentally. Can't believe that you're now finding out about them. Want another band to blow your mind "Rival Sons - Pressure & Time" for your next reaction.
P.S. Your smile turned me into a sub.
Great review. Like you when I listen to GVF they make me smile.
Hi Sandy.You must watch the live video of lover leaver.It will prove that rock is not dead.Love this band,they are so talented and such nice guys
Saw them in Sydney.Awesome band
This is awesome...great energy...that guitar groove is off the chain added with those vocals will keep this band rocking for a while...look up the video of Robert plants take on this band
Exacly like you I was the first time.i'm hook now !
they are so good !!!! oh my god. Did not hear for years a sound like this !!!!!!!!!
So glad you liked them.. 😊
Greta Van Fleet from Frankenmuth Michigan. Got the name from their school music teacher, Gretna Van Fleet. When when I first heard them I thought what the heck is this? Quickly researched. Okay, these guys are on their way up in a hurry. And sure enough they rocketed to stardom. 3 brothers and a drummer. Receiving enormous praise from Joe Elliott from Def Leppard, Elton John, and Robert Plant. Robert Plant saying that the singer reminded him of someone he knew a very long time ago. Embarking on a UK tour in 2019. These kids have good seeds of Rock planted within them, watch them grow.
If Zep had released this song, it would've been one of their most popular. That could be said of many other of GVF songs.
Looking forward to rocking to them for many year🤗
I'm a long time Zep fan and I absolutely love GVF!! BTW,you remind me of that actor Ashley Judd.😎
Greta Van Fleet is an American rock band from Frankenmuth, Michigan, formed in 2012. It consists of vocalist Josh Kiszka, guitarist Jake Kiszka, bassist Sam Kiszka, and drummer Danny Wagner. They were signed to Lava Records in March 2017 and a month later the band released their debut studio EP, Black Smoke Rising.
Search for the video of RP being interviewed. He says "Gretta Van Fleet IS US when we first started".
I get chills every time I hear that song. Makes me feel 16 again, I'm 65 now.
The rock gods have blessed GVF.. Finally current music worth listening to. Thank you!
My jaw literally DROPPED the first time I heard GVF. Probably one of the best bands right now. AMAZING.
They’ve got so much ENERGY, especially in today’s music world of pre-programmed beats, it’s so refreshing to hear a band that still love to ROCK!!! Rock 🪨 isn’t Dead ☠️
“Highway Tune” is pure EARGASM.
👂 🎼 🎸 🤘
Think I'll sub in Hope's you react to more greta van fleet. The more you listen to them the more you will see these guys are unique an something truly great in the works
Yay! Welcome aboard. 🛸👽 I will definitely be reacting to more of them! The new RUclips copyright rules are causing major issues, especially for reactors, so I may have to start inserting annoying pauses in my videos. They now get blocked worldwide. Well, some of them do... others do not. Last week I was able to post a video and another reactor tried to post the same video from the same sight on the same day and his was blocked while mine was not. It's confusing and really slows things down but I promise there is one in the works right now. Hopefully you will see it this weekend!
The singer and guitar player are twins, the bass player is another brother. They're from Frankenmuth, MI.
So true, GVF: the first band, in I have no idea how long, to bring back the joy of raw rock, with a look to match. Just please keep doing what you’re doing darlings!
there is an interview with Robert Plant where he discusses his opinion of GVF. he likes them.
They are super awesome!!
Love this band
Robert plant has actually heard them and he said they sound do sound like zeppelin when they were first starting, they have evolved quite a bit since this song but are still a great group I hope to see them live someday
You're reaction made me subscribe 😎👍👍♿👍👍🍺🍺Awesome job 👍👍♿👍👍👍 keep up the great work 👍👍♿👍👍👍
I LOVE THIS SONG. I can hear a lot of the who in GVF too....wich is awesome. Great band. cant wait to watch them live
Me too, and they've said the Who and the Yardbirds are 2 of their influences. I would love to hear them do Train Kept A Rollin by The Yardbirds.
I've seen them live couple of months ago here in the Netherlands . ... they are good!
