I am 66 years old, retired and used to play guitar in a rock band in the '70s. This is the BEST band I have heard for the past 30 years. Musicians can sound like other ones just by FATE - so it's not a big deal at all. Even with an EFFORT to sound unique, you can come off sounding like another band.
3 brothers 19 and 22 yr old twins and the drummer is 19. Give them time. They say they wrote the songs 3 or 4 years ago when they were 15 and 18. They are definitely on their way up
Narf AppRently people do care as their shows are nearly all sold out through year end and when the album drops it will be number one in all likelihood. Derivative or not they are a good band with a lot of talent. If you don’t like them that’s cool but to say no one does is foolish
Narf you’re so fucking ignorant it hurts to read your comment think I’m done with the comment section today. Tho rereading that in an angry nerdy voice did make my day better cause it sounds fucking ridiculous and I love it thanks asshole 😂
Robert Plant is fine with these guys, so what's the problem?!?! There not being another Zeppelin anyway, people that think that need to listen and watch them more! ! There a breath of fresh air, we deserve another great band! ! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
@Will Marero I guess writing your own songs is unoriginal now. Playing your own music is unoriginal. 90% of rap and pop sound the same and about the same thing. Girls, drugs, money.
A breath of fresh air. I'm hoping this triggers more good solid rock music. I think the over saturated, do it yourself hip hop era could finally becoming to an end.
brodemonz just wanna pretend Led Zeppelin is back, huh? I wonder what people would think if these guys were doing this shit in 1970. Everyone would think they were a blatant rip-off of LZ. No doubt about it. But I guess it's okay to literally steal an entire bands sound and image right down to the mannerisms of the lead singer. That's cool, dude. I get it. We all have different tastes.
Y'all can complain about them sounding too much like Zeppelin all day long, but the song writing is clearly what makes this band stand out. So glad this band is blowing up and I'm excited for the album!
They aren't a zep ripoff, I hear zep in them obviously I also hear rush, Janis Joplin, heart, early Aerosmith, all artists whose roots are in the blues, zep played homage to their idols in almost everything they played, just be glad there is some real music getting back in the mainstream which will hopefully open up the door for a return to real rock
Agreed, I even pick up touches of White Stripes/Jack White in the vocal and a bit of Chris Stapleton's guitar work in a couple tracks off "From the Fires". Their front man's yell though, that's straight up Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey right there, they're the only ones that seem to have really come before with that same kind of yell he has.
Andrew Mottsey I completely agree with you....I hear many of my favorite bands/singers in this great, new, very refreshing band. Rock on, GVF...and get your butts up to Northern California soon!! You have tons of fans up here.
They are a Zeppelin rip off...that is the objective truth. It is evident in too many ways to call it simply an influence. That being said, Led Zeppelin are one of the greatest bands of all time...and GVF are also phenomenal!
I find it hilarious that people are saying he's ripping off Plant. Reminds me of the "Scott Stapp stole Eddie Vedder's voice" argument. As long as they're not ripping of Zep's songs, why should anyone care?
Not only is it in their music like the above mentioned but in the singers mannerisms on stage. Watch both him and Plant on stage and tell me he's not just copying him.
Wow, all these ignorant people. These guys listened to the same artists that most rock groups listened to. Their parents listened to the same rock and blues musicians that Plant did, thus they grew up on it.
That is how you do it. You don’t mimc your favorite band. You go back in time and hear the bands that influenced it then take that inspiration for revival. Amazing approach. Love these guys.
Black Floyd I picked up "From the Fires" last weekend. Probably would have had it half worn out by now had it been on vinyl, then again, I could say the same about Chris Stapletons first album when I bought it a couple years ago too.
@Lester Green GVF write their own music, or you just wanted see them stealing songs like led? So stop spreading lies, they never denied the led influence on their music. Some led fans are so neurotic, they want GVF talk about led 24/7
@Lester Green You really don't know nothing about led or Greta to say something so stupid. Or you are just a parrot incapable to think for yourself. It's ok you can be a parrot, but you should learn to make your own opinions.
@Lester Green You really like parroting, all haters says the same thing lol you guys looks like a cult repeting the same shit in every Greta video. Who is your leader? Plant listened a lot Steve Marriott, no wonder he take his style from him. But i don't care, really. I am a true music lover, i can listen both bands see the differences. Parroting others is not my thing, i know to think for myself.
It’s obvious they sound like Zep but why does anybody have a problem with that? That’s a GOOD thing. Plus. These guys write their own songs. Zep SOUNDED original but the early songs were mostly covered, stolen or developed from other artists. Honestly in today’s age it’s just so refreshing to see a young rock band kick ass. These kids do. I think their stuff is great.
No one's objecting to a band sounding like Zep, the criticism is that they sound too much like them & cross the line into ripoff territory by copying clothes & mannerisms
Yes, but many of the people that are criticizing them for copying their clothes and mannerisms ought to ease off a bit. Have they never heard of the expression "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery"? They are doing nothing but putting out some great (AND their own original songs, I might add) music and paying homage to one of the greatest bands that ever recorded music, all while managing to still sound fresh! To that I say, Bravo, boys! ☺
Dawn Mackey agreed imitation can mean flattery, but there’s a limit. It’d be ok if GVF was a tribute band, but they’re not. You can’t profit off another band’s entire style & sound while insisting you’re original
If you are calling these guys a rip off then you’d have to call Zeppelin rip offs too. As many do and they kinda are. Now...I Loooooove me some Zeppelin but nearly half their songs are adopted from other tunes. Some could say stolen. I don’t really care cause they made them their own and they sounded original. They still should have given credit. My point is.....Yes......GVF clearly has drawn huge influence from Zep. And I say...Thank God for these kids....They are great and they give Rock and chance to survive. I don’t even know any “artists” from the billboard awards these days. Most aren’t even real musicians. And I’m sure GVF will develop more their own sound as they grow. I look forward to it.
Anthony Sclafani Yeah, because Zeppelin is the only band that dressed like this, there was not a single band in the 70s that even closely resembled greta van fleet besides zeppelin
Heey. Enough with the Disney kid comments. Page was 23 & Plant was 20 when Zep I came out. They are about the same age. Just give them a lil more time on the road to have a mud shark incident and the guitar player to start dabbling in the occult and heroin and you'll start to become a fan, Angel.
I bought Led Zep II way back in 69, and they sound like the 70/72 period. They are bound to be compared with Led Zeppelin but that's not a bad thing because they pull it off so well. Not only does the singer sound like Robert Plant at times but the drummer also has a style that is not unlike John Bonham's. If they want to put out more stuff that sounds like Zeppelin then that's great but they do have a style that isn't so Zeppelin too. It's a bit unfair to think of them as a Zeppelin clone. Creedence Clearwater Revival also has an influence of some kind and the singer reminds me of someone else but I can't quite place who that might be. I hope they are around for a fair while to come. As three of them are brothers they may well be.
This band is good. All of you people complaining sound just as annoying as the old folks from back in the day complaining about how rock music was changing. Grow with the times yall, i bet the irony is lost on you anyway.
i said the irony would be lost on you, guess i was right. and Cover bands gotta start somewhere. It seems you're okay with them for now so my comment was not intended for you but enjoy that dunk u think u got.
Javierm0n0 "Grow with the times" they're a Zep rip off. If anything they're going backwards. (Which is fine with me cause I can't stand today's music) I'm glad someone is doing it. I just wish they would lay off the copy cat BS. They're all talented, hopefully they'll grow into a truly original sound just like Zep did way back when
+MindFull sound like Zep, act like Zep & copy their mannerisms, dress like Zep...there's a limit. GVF might have a wide range of influences, but at the moment they copy LZ too much. Glad a new young band's getting attention, but they need to stop copying & at least mix in other influences
But, MegaCrasherMusic? Didn't that same guy blatantly rip-off ... Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon & Muddy Waters, as well? lol lol And what about Randy California and Spirit? Let's discuss that one, okay?
Bottom line Rob Plant and Jimmy Page learned licks and musical technique from the old blues guys. It is how this works. Everyone learns from the previous players. These guys will impress even the most neg speak out there. Time is on their side.
Not all of their music/songs sound like Zeppelin. Love that they have zeps sound in some songs bc ima old Zeppelin freak, but they're original sound as well. They've definitely hit the Big leauges early in their career, and I love these guys!☮️☮️☮️☮️
Funny how everyone criticizes this band for sounding like Zeppelin, when they were pretty much a cover band in their early days, who didn't give credit to the original writers no less
stealing things and using them is different to a cover band, they pinched lyrics here, a riff there and some vocal melodies, on the first two albums quite a bit. But they were original, which is why greta van fleet are annoying because they write average songs in the vain of led zep simply because their singer has an insanely good robert plant-esque voice
I hope they find their own sound someday because these guys have talent and I'd hate to see all this talent be wasted on a band which is going to be a rip off of an older band. Zeppelin ripped off a lot of stuff in their early days but at least they had their own sound, they gave such a spin to what they copied that they honestly made it theirs and made it sound a shit ton better
Christina Wood It rocks if you are not familiar with Zeppelin, the guitar tone is very similar to Page but more than that it is the vocalist. He has a good voice but he alters his voice to sound like Plant a bit too much. At least the bass and drums are different because it is impossible to imitate John Paul Jones and especially John Bonham
If you get respect from Plant the god/legend himself you know. Time tells. This is the greatest band in the past 10-20 years that makes us realize rock and roll isn't dead. RESPECT!! TOOL is here for us too!!
So exciting. I’m way to young (21) to have been around when zeppelin was banging I was sad knowing I’ll never rock out to a page solo during a live performance or scream my lungs out to Roberts’s singing or Bob my head till I get a concussion due to JB’s savage drum playing....Nobody could ever replicate and replace zeppelin BUT this band specifically is a really alive blues rock/hard rock band. Their live performances are intense and I hope that they will get even more recognition because they’re bringing back nice music from another generation to our generation which is fucking awesome. Hopefully one day maybe in 50 years the kids will look back and say “hey you sound like Greta van fleet” haha or even still remember zeppelin. I don’t think zeppelin will be forgotten so it’s good to see the torch being passed on from musician to musician. One day Greta van fleet will have their very own sound which can take years, they’re so young and have time. But right now they are ON FIRE. Sick as band keep going and playing freely
When he winked at the camera my pants dropped to the floor. Haha they are a good looking band and so much talent. I’m glad rock n roll is getting the recognition it deserves all thanks to GVF.
So musically talented and respectful of musician's past and present-just respectful in general! I don't even need to wish them the best these guys will soar.
They are so much more than a Zeppelin clone. Robert Plant never belted at the register for the length that Josh does in Edge of Darkness, and the entire group sounds outstanding live.
I look at it like this. Think of all the really young GVF fans that are discovering Zeppelin for the first time because of these guys. I love GVF!! I love Zeppelin!!?
rock/metal music is a father/mother pass down to child thing. hiphop is not about that. its about moving to the new song and forgeting the old songs. that how it is at my school. i love u greta van fleet
I was so amazed by their sound. I never thought I'd hear another person with a voice like Robert Plant. They should cover a Zeppelin song sometime, they'll make Robert cry like Nancy Wilson did. People should quit calling them a knock off of Zeppelin though, those are original songs not covers.
damn, here I am on the road with my band, grinding, poor, loving music, creating new fans, taking risks with new sounds, pushing the limits, creating our own blueprint. I wonder if they've ever had ramen noodles on a hot plate, stranded on the side of the road. We don't sound like our Dad's but the passion of rock and music lives in our DNA, I really hope they evolve, I live in a rock and roll apocalypse.
I love zeppelin they’re one of my favorite bands but Greta van fleet has some awesome music and I’m sorry if you don’t like that but it’s just my opinion
Joe Riserbato 1 second ago To all the blow hards mentioning the Zep rip off you all should take a few more lessons in music history. I guess you think Zep never stole any riffs, lines choruses or lyrics from anyone else then? Please smash that glass bubble you've been stuck in for almost 50 years.. This band is doing nothing different than what countless great bands and artists of the past have done .Simply put, they're taking all of their influences and putting it into their music. Plant likes them in case you didn't know and so many other great musicians of the past do so too. This band is oozing talent and if you're really into Rock n Roll you'd wish nothing but the best for these young men. Mainstream music has been PATHETIC for going on 15 years now and if these dudes can break that vicious cycle I say ROCK ON!!!
More power to Greta, so the hit the Zepplelin vein in music , Zeppelin is long gone . Take it and run with it . Make some good blues based rock and roll with it ... Ready for these guys to come out with a great new album ..
There is a difference between inspiration and completely taking the nuances of Plant's voice and his performance mannerisms and just making that his thing. I could even sense awakwardness even in the interview when Plant was mentioned, they just played it off as "oh we must've grown up on the same music as him" 🤨
To everyone complaining about how they sound. At least they are out there doing music, playing their own instruments. Not lip singing to stuff and forgetting to move their mouth in time to the recording. Give the kids some credit OR get out there yourself and do a BETTER job than they are doing.
There a good band with similarities to zep but they have that certain something that still catches there own sound ,it's organic and not cheesey like alot of the previous imitatators.. there's no point getting to fkn analytical about them ,they just have that special magic that special something whatever that is .
Personally I absolutely love Greta van fleet. I love the driving power of the Guitar’s. Josh has an amazing voice. It does have similarities to Robert Plant but it’s not our plant. He has his own singer. His voice has its own type of sound. Which makes sounds like black smoke rising and safari song just explode. I also think the fact that they do have a sound that’s reminiscent of let’s say Led Zeppelin or someone long long those lines is a good thing. The similarities will bring in rockers of my generation. Those of us who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin kiss motley Crue Metallica groups like that. But they’re also have that appeal for their own generation and bring them in as vans. So I guess the best way to describe their music is it spans generations. It brings generations of rockers together and let’s enjoy real rock ‘n’ roll. Watching this band makes me believe that the heart of rock ‘n’ roll truly is still beating and strong and healthy. Long live rock!!!!!
To quote 311 - All Mixed Up I’d say to this awesome band “Fuck the naysayers because this is what style we bring” - Just saw them in Detroit and they were awesome!
echo loooool ain't it cute you're so obsessed with another band that you'll actually try and stop them being successful because the singer sounds similar to another, zeppelin are finished. Caput. Finito. GVF and others are the future of rock n roll, either get with it, or be left behind and be known as one of the old farts that originally disliked zeppelin in the 60s
Robert Plant has "come to appreciate it" because he can't hate on his own band. All jokes aside. Greta Van Fleet are badass! I can't wait for the next album!
Gvf hear my call, please come to Saskatoon canada some time in the future please i, as many fans in Canada would love to see you guys live . (I wish) :(
Those who say that they are copying or ripping zeps songs off - guys, you're funny. You know what's funny? First of all, you actually don't know what "plagiarism" means. So, their songs is not a plagiarism or a rip off. That's just obvious. Second of all, guys, you all know who Led Zeppelin is, right? Jeez, it's a most influenced band of all time! 4 master musician come together and did a masterpiece. How can you be surprised that these young guys actually has been influenced from Led Zeppelin? It's not surprising and there's nothing bad. You should be grateful that they do not forget who Led Zeppelin is. That they grew up with Zeppelin's songs, and they decided to go out and spread it all around the world. So the new generation, thanks to them, will know that there is that kind of music as well. And your reaction to them is just strange. And it really makes me wonder.
I am 66 years old, retired and used to play guitar in a rock band in the '70s. This is the BEST band I have heard for the past 30 years. Musicians can sound like other ones just by FATE - so it's not a big deal at all. Even with an EFFORT to sound unique, you can come off sounding like another band.
So true. Everybody sounds like somebody. I just heard a song by Chevelle that caught my ear but they remind me of Tool or vice a versa.
3 brothers 19 and 22 yr old twins and the drummer is 19. Give them time. They say they wrote the songs 3 or 4 years ago when they were 15 and 18. They are definitely on their way up

@Narf how boring has to be a hater like you
@Narf name 10 other bands that sound like Greta van fleet rn, I'll wait
@@pvtlehto hey dear don't waste time answering ignorant haters.. believe me it's not worth
I'm 262 and this band is amazing, reminds me of the band i started in 1801
Robert Plant is fine with these guys, so what's the problem?!?! There not being another Zeppelin anyway, people that think that need to listen and watch them more! ! There a breath of fresh air, we deserve another great band! ! ♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡♡
They sound like led zeppelin's coming out with a new album. Nothing fresh and new there.
Sandra Launstein The Struts are good too!
Why do we need Robert Plant's approval in the first place? Greta rocks. So does Zep, and nobody needs to approve of what we listen to.
They sound like Zep, so what's the problem?
@Will Marero I guess writing your own songs is unoriginal now. Playing your own music is unoriginal. 90% of rap and pop sound the same and about the same thing. Girls, drugs, money.

nothing to be proud of John.
Get a life!
76 here and totally into GretaVanFleet !!
I’m 54 and they’ve been my favorite band since 2017.
Blessed to have seen them several times. ☮️
@@SonicVisionX yeah cause hating them is definitely something to be proud of
A breath of fresh air. I'm hoping this triggers more good solid rock music. I think the over saturated, do it yourself hip hop era could finally becoming to an end.
brodemonz there's literally PLENTY of good, solid, rock music out right now. You have to look for it. It's not that hard.
Paynus Vajonas what you consider good and what I consider good is a matter of opinion. "It's not that hard" to understand that.
brodemonz just wanna pretend Led Zeppelin is back, huh? I wonder what people would think if these guys were doing this shit in 1970. Everyone would think they were a blatant rip-off of LZ.

Inspiration, do any of you knows Rush?, Just enjoy the music its not 100% equal, is inspiration from the rock n'roll ages...
People said the same thing about Axl Rose using the same vocal technique as Brian Johnson lol
It's called plagiarism.
when rush started, everyone said they sounded too much like led zep. now they’re one of the best bands in the world. keep talking, though :)
Just listen to black smoke rising or talk on the street that doesn't sound like zeppelin at all
Well it doesbut is original
Want to listen to something original? Go listen to Tool. You'll thank me later.
Listen to The Kiwi in Blue.
The Kiwi in Blue well, Tool does sound like King Crimson sometimes...
The Kiwi in Blue eh, half the time, they sounds like a pissednoff employee angrily mumbling in a machine shop.
"Robert Plant grew up listening to the same stuff we do"
Indeed, Robert listened to a lot of Zeppelin
Riiiight? Thought the same, quite a coincidence.
CamRebires he said blues....which is how Zep first started.
CamRebires Led Zeppelin worshipped Elvis.
CamRebires I almost woke my parents up for reading this comment
Wow, all these ignorant people. These guys listened to the same artists that most rock groups listened to. Their parents listened to the same rock and blues musicians that Plant did, thus they grew up on it.

Ah, it's all about the look for you. How ...Disney.
Wookie Grommer anyone can have long hair if they want to
When they get a new singer, i'll buy into them.
4:37 that wink tho
To hell with the oven. Pop the new album in the microwave. We're hungry.
But that microwave might have their songs turn out bland and boring, and i don't think they would want that after receiving so much initial success
Absolutely
Thats how nickelback happened
Finally heard the new "When the curtain falls" single. Fantastic!

Of course, that's why you come on to watch bands interviewed that you hate. You are right about one thing though, you are an old guy.
Great guys, great music. I'm so glad they are coming out with an album this summer. If you have a chance to see them In concert run and get tickets.
I'm 53 and I'm Sooooo grateful for this band... Hellyeah keeping Rock alive;!; Love you guys!
i can’t handle how cute sammy is.... gosh i love them all
That wink from Sam...😍 those guys are not only talented to the max, but so adorable!!!!! 😚😍😚😍
i hope that this band will make an innovative album and become more then an zeppelin clone
I totally agree . Their next album will be the test .
Dave Brewer They're barley releasing an album, they've only released an EP.
Andrew Zataray but people treated it like an album
They are not trying to become the new zep they just want to make rock relevant again.
+MindFull sound like Zep, act like Zep & copy their mannerisms, dress like Zep...there's a limit. GVF might have a wide range of influences, but at the moment they copy LZ too much. Glad a new young band's getting attention, but they need to stop copying & at least mix in other influences
These boys are so gorgeous 🥰
Great interview! Amazing how grateful & humble these guys are! Much appreciated! \m/\m/
But, MegaCrasherMusic? Didn't that same guy blatantly rip-off ... Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon & Muddy Waters, as well? lol lol And what about Randy California and Spirit? Let's discuss that one, okay?
I haven't bought an album in years I can not wait to buy this album..
These guys are so grounded & smart with a great sense of humor! Sam's wink so cute.... anticipating the new album!!!
Bottom line Rob Plant and Jimmy Page learned licks and musical technique from the old blues guys. It is how this works. Everyone learns from the previous players. These guys will impress even the most neg speak out there. Time is on their side.
It,s almost a sin to be that gorgeous and so young.
They are great musicians too.
Nice interview. They seem pretty cool. :)
Oh so down to earth please stay humble....💜LOVE 💜 YOU GUY'S 💜
All ages appreciate good talent , good music and we have been waiting for a long time ! Greta Van Fleet you rock ! We love you !
Not all of their music/songs sound like Zeppelin. Love that they have zeps sound in some songs bc ima old Zeppelin freak, but they're original sound as well. They've definitely hit the Big leauges early in their career, and I love these guys!☮️☮️☮️☮️
I love the way Jake looks at Sam when he says somethin funny, is like "that's not even funny" idk
I'd rather have them sound like Zep then sound like all of the other bands now a days. Can't wait for their album.
Funny how everyone criticizes this band for sounding like Zeppelin, when they were pretty much a cover band in their early days, who didn't give credit to the original writers no less
HaliniSnow Rush was called the Canadian Led Zeppelin so people should give them some time.
Oh yeah? Led Zep were a cover band? You aren't a musician are you?
Tbh they did steal alot of things without giving credit. Made it 10x better
led zeppelin literally stole half of their early catalog so i guess technically you are right but cover band puts them into a better light.
stealing things and using them is different to a cover band, they pinched lyrics here, a riff there and some vocal melodies, on the first two albums quite a bit. But they were original, which is why greta van fleet are annoying because they write average songs in the vain of led zep simply because their singer has an insanely good robert plant-esque voice
I hope they find their own sound someday because these guys have talent and I'd hate to see all this talent be wasted on a band which is going to be a rip off of an older band. Zeppelin ripped off a lot of stuff in their early days but at least they had their own sound, they gave such a spin to what they copied that they honestly made it theirs and made it sound a shit ton better
They ripped a lot on their albums by stealing but they were good on stealing music too
This band has their own sound...listen to ALL of their original music...it totally rocks!!
Christina Wood It rocks if you are not familiar with Zeppelin, the guitar tone is very similar to Page but more than that it is the vocalist. He has a good voice but he alters his voice to sound like Plant a bit too much. At least the bass and drums are different because it is impossible to imitate John Paul Jones and especially John Bonham
Their so beautiful it almost hurts.
If you get respect from Plant the god/legend himself you know. Time tells. This is the greatest band in the past 10-20 years that makes us realize rock and roll isn't dead. RESPECT!! TOOL is here for us too!!
Sam is great with the PR.
Just saw them live! Their unreal!
I am an elder who grew up with LZ and I love you guys!
So exciting. I’m way to young (21) to have been around when zeppelin was banging I was sad knowing I’ll never rock out to a page solo during a live performance or scream my lungs out to Roberts’s singing or Bob my head till I get a concussion due to JB’s savage drum playing....Nobody could ever replicate and replace zeppelin BUT this band specifically is a really alive blues rock/hard rock band. Their live performances are intense and I hope that they will get even more recognition because they’re bringing back nice music from another generation to our generation which is fucking awesome. Hopefully one day maybe in 50 years the kids will look back and say “hey you sound like Greta van fleet” haha or even still remember zeppelin. I don’t think zeppelin will be forgotten so it’s good to see the torch being passed on from musician to musician. One day Greta van fleet will have their very own sound which can take years, they’re so young and have time. But right now they are ON FIRE. Sick as band keep going and playing freely
When he winked at the camera my pants dropped to the floor. Haha they are a good looking band and so much talent. I’m glad rock n roll is getting the recognition it deserves all thanks to GVF.
So musically talented and respectful of musician's past and present-just respectful in general! I don't even need to wish them the best these guys will soar.
They are so much more than a Zeppelin clone. Robert Plant never belted at the register for the length that Josh does in Edge of Darkness, and the entire group sounds outstanding live.
They are so cute, I’m in love with their enthusiasm
Sometimes they sound like classic Heart.
Wookie Groomer Sometimes Heart sounds like classic Zeppelin
Sometimes i hear rush too.
Sometimes they sound like Greta Van Fleet.
Well heart did Model themselves after Led Zeppelin. So it’s kind of easy that they end up sounding like both bands.
Plant's solo stuff sounded like Billy Squire
Was just in their home town last weekend.. Frankenmuth Michigan....
I look at it like this. Think of all the really young GVF fans that are discovering Zeppelin for the first time because of these guys. I love GVF!! I love Zeppelin!!?
Sam has perfect eyebrows
Nice. Loudwire does smart, well-paced interviews. Thank you!
Susan How can I contact you?? about GVF
Pride of Frankenmuth Michigan!!! They're amazing
Loving the success of my cousins. Keep up the good work boys.
I really really like them! Wish more people from my country (Mexico) knew them:(
Unbelievably Awesome!!!👌🏻❤️🎶👌🏻❤️🎶
Awesome guys. Cannot wait for the full album drop!!!
rock/metal music is a father/mother pass down to child thing. hiphop is not about that. its about moving to the new song and forgeting the old songs. that how it is at my school. i love u greta van fleet
"WOW, look at me, I'm so cool because i shit on Hip Hop! Am I cool yet?"
is it just me or do they have perfect hair
A truly awesome band
they are def very Zep sounding but they are very new so perhaps they just need time to find their own sound... i think they are very talented :)
Then maybe they should make a record after they find a sound, not before
This old souls are ROCK&ROLL!!!
I was so amazed by their sound.
I never thought I'd hear another person with a voice like Robert Plant. They should cover a Zeppelin song sometime, they'll make Robert cry like Nancy Wilson did.
People should quit calling them a knock off of Zeppelin though, those are original songs not covers.
You mean Ann Wilson.
damn, here I am on the road with my band, grinding, poor, loving music, creating new fans, taking risks with new sounds, pushing the limits, creating our own blueprint. I wonder if they've ever had ramen noodles on a hot plate, stranded on the side of the road. We don't sound like our Dad's but the passion of rock and music lives in our DNA, I really hope they evolve, I live in a rock and roll apocalypse.
I love Greta Van Fleet
BADGERDUCKLYFE FOR EVAH they are just a copy of ped zeppelin with worse vocals and instrumental. What the fuck do you see in them
Luke Scully Pretty sure he gives 0 fucks about your opinion lol
Luke Scully Good job bringing people together you loonie lolllllllll
Listen to some Led Zeppelin instead
I love zeppelin they’re one of my favorite bands but Greta van fleet has some awesome music and I’m sorry if you don’t like that but it’s just my opinion
I saw Led Zeppelin back in the day,I glad to live this long too see another great true rock band

To all the blow hards mentioning the Zep rip off you all should take a few more lessons in music history. I guess you think Zep never stole any riffs, lines choruses or lyrics from anyone else then? Please smash that glass bubble you've been stuck in for almost 50 years.. This band is doing nothing different than what countless great bands and artists of the past have done .Simply put, they're taking all of their influences and putting it into their music. Plant likes them in case you didn't know and so many other great musicians of the past do so too. This band is oozing talent and if you're really into Rock n Roll you'd wish nothing but the best for these young men. Mainstream music has been PATHETIC for going on 15 years now and if these dudes can break that vicious cycle I say ROCK ON!!!
GVF album late summer! OH MY GOSH! YES!
I'm just happy kids are playing rock. That alone is good news!!!
They are so Kool already!!!
Old souls playing good old rock&roll!
More power to Greta, so the hit the Zepplelin vein in music , Zeppelin is long gone . Take it and run with it . Make some good blues based rock and roll with it ... Ready for these guys to come out with a great new album ..
There is a difference between inspiration and completely taking the nuances of Plant's voice and his performance mannerisms and just making that his thing. I could even sense awakwardness even in the interview when Plant was mentioned, they just played it off as "oh we must've grown up on the same music as him" 🤨
To everyone complaining about how they sound.
At least they are out there doing music, playing their own instruments. Not lip singing to stuff and forgetting to move their mouth in time to the recording. Give the kids some credit OR get out there yourself and do a BETTER job than they are doing.
4:55 . . . 30% of viewers open new tab in background and youtube search Big Bill Broonzy.
Thank you for bringing the rock sound back!!
There a good band with similarities to zep but they have that certain something that still catches there own sound ,it's organic and not cheesey like alot of the previous imitatators.. there's no point getting to fkn analytical about them ,they just have that special magic that special something whatever that is .
I'd like to hear them do an album of 1/2 Zep covers and the other Black Crowes; I think musically they sound quite a bit like the Crowes
Yeah Sam... I'm sure Robert Plant listened and idolized Led Zeppelin growing up. *Rolls Eyes*
This made my day so much better!!!!😭😭😭🤦🏼♀️
BEST NEW BAND SINCE THE 90's
This band reminds me of Greta Van Fleet 😀👍🤘🤘🤘🤘
4:38 That wink gets me every time... ^_^
Personally I absolutely love Greta van fleet. I love the driving power of the Guitar’s. Josh has an amazing voice. It does have similarities to Robert Plant but it’s not our plant. He has his own singer. His voice has its own type of sound. Which makes sounds like black smoke rising and safari song just explode. I also think the fact that they do have a sound that’s reminiscent of let’s say Led Zeppelin or someone long long those lines is a good thing. The similarities will bring in rockers of my generation. Those of us who grew up listening to Led Zeppelin kiss motley Crue Metallica groups like that. But they’re also have that appeal for their own generation and bring them in as vans. So I guess the best way to describe their music is it spans generations. It brings generations of rockers together and let’s enjoy real rock ‘n’ roll. Watching this band makes me believe that the heart of rock ‘n’ roll truly is still beating and strong and healthy. Long live rock!!!!!
I love them for keeping that old school rock n roll vibe alive. So young yet so fucking talented.
To quote 311 - All Mixed Up I’d say to this awesome band “Fuck the naysayers because this is what style we bring” - Just saw them in Detroit and they were awesome!
There's literaly no interview that confronts the band directly with the Led Zeppelin comparison.
Rolling Rock there’s been 1 or 2
There's no point. We know they're copying Zeppelin, they know it too.
echo loooool ain't it cute you're so obsessed with another band that you'll actually try and stop them being successful because the singer sounds similar to another, zeppelin are finished. Caput. Finito. GVF and others are the future of rock n roll, either get with it, or be left behind and be known as one of the old farts that originally disliked zeppelin in the 60s
You think I have any bearing if they're successful or not? They must not have a solid foundation if you're that worried
echo literally the least important part of my comment and you've based your argument on that, give over old man
Robert Plant has "come to appreciate it" because he can't hate on his own band.
All jokes aside. Greta Van Fleet are badass! I can't wait for the next album!
Gvf hear my call, please come to Saskatoon canada some time in the future please i, as many fans in Canada would love to see you guys live . (I wish) :(
Those who say that they are copying or ripping zeps songs off - guys, you're funny. You know what's funny? First of all, you actually don't know what "plagiarism" means. So, their songs is not a plagiarism or a rip off. That's just obvious. Second of all, guys, you all know who Led Zeppelin is, right? Jeez, it's a most influenced band of all time! 4 master musician come together and did a masterpiece. How can you be surprised that these young guys actually has been influenced from Led Zeppelin? It's not surprising and there's nothing bad. You should be grateful that they do not forget who Led Zeppelin is. That they grew up with Zeppelin's songs, and they decided to go out and spread it all around the world. So the new generation, thanks to them, will know that there is that kind of music as well.
And your reaction to them is just strange.
And it really makes me wonder.
Come to Australia PLEASE!
I really can't wait for the album
new album by the end of the summer? FUCK YES MORE VAN FLEET TO LISTEN TO ON THE BUS!
Robert Plant loves these guys so I’m good with them
Love you guys!!! GVF BE GOOD TO EACH OTHER!!!💜💜💜 KEEP ROCKING US!!!
Hell yeah, few months, can’t wait
what show is this guy interviewing them at ?
