Welcome to the HIGGINSREPORT. Led Zeppelin on Vinyl...NO!...this is Greta Van Fleet. As a lifelong Led Zeppelin fan I offer my opinion on GVF (who cares right?)
As a boomer and also a huge Zeppelin fan since the early 70s, I have to admit that this new music by GVF is refreshing, to say the least. This band has the potential to give the millennials the old 70s style rock that we boomers enjoyed back in the day, and bridge the gap between young and old. Very impressive to see that these young kids have chosen to bring back the old rock that died off so long ago. Many people my age were devastated when John Bonham passed almost 43 years ago, and we all knew that Led Zeppelin was gone with him. When I heard this for the first time, it invoked some deep emotions, taking me back 43 years ago, and wondering what could have been if John hadn't died so long ago. I like to imagine that this is what they would have sounded like, had they continued. Very close to the Led Zeppelin sound, but not quite, as no one can ever sound like Robert, Jimmy, John and John Paul, but GVF is as close as we can get. These fellas are headed for the big time, and if I were them, I wouldn't change a thing. I don't think they're cloning Zeppelin, as they might sound eerily similar, but any die hard Zeppelin fan knows the difference between the two. I just hope they can overcome the haters and critics, and continue down the path of success. These young men are bringing back what rock and roll needs...a resurrection!!!
Lifelong, hardcore old fart LZ fan and guitarist here (I'm 67). I know the entire catalogue backwards, forwards and sideways. I am absolutely uncompromising when it comes to sound-alikes and cover bands. If you're going to get my attention in that arena, you've gotta execute it, 120% AND bring something unique to the table. I have no patience for limp imitations. That said, let me tell you about the first time I heard GVF. It was this tune. The opening hook caught my attention immediately and drew me in. By the time Josh had gotten through "ohhhh...mama," I had goosebumps. That's never happened before. Talk all you want about imitation, but don't tell me I don't recognize real mojo when I hear it. That's the difference between these guys and MANY other tribute bands and wannabes. "Highway Tune" is not one of those "listen to how close we sound to the legends" deals. To my ears, this was, "We LOVE Led Zeppelin and are inspired by them, so we're gonna bring it and set it on fire - deal with it." Subsequent songs and albums have shown tremendous creative growth and prove that they are not pale imitators, but keepers of the flame. Rock on, lads!
I have to pretty much agree with most everything you said about the Led Zeppelin cover band thing. With that said a friend of mine, who is a professional, recording artist drummer, was doing a gig with the bassist from an all female tribute, Led Zeppelin band, called Zepparella I personally had never heard of them Holy crap she is incredible (Angeline Saris) I check out there stuff and damn - of course there not Zep and there not trying to be , but there all very talented musicians Anyway I’m agreeing to agree to kinda disagree on this one tiny microscopic, isolated part of your statement….. sorta … 😂. Have a great day.
This is the first Greta Van Fleet song I heard a couple of years ago and I was very impressed to hear music like this from four guys who aren't even 25 years old yet. I'm looking forward to hearing their next album that comes out April 16, 2021. I've heard two tracks off that album and they sound very good.
Being a Zep lover you should know......The members of Zep were about the same age as these guys when they started becoming famous. My 21 yo Son turned me on to these guys...He has awesome taste in music and his playlist ranges from classical to Zappa (He gets it from his 65 yo Dad....Me) and suggested I give the link he sent me a listen. I was.....and am impressed with GVF and hope they can navigate fame better than a great deal of the 60s and 70s "stars" did.....RIP Bonzo et al I think they have a bright future and I'm sure their musical evolution will be impressive..... Who knows maybe those concert T-shirts and vinyl might be worth something one day??
I heard that when they were at practice one day and the lead singer called in sick. Then this young man, I think he is a brother of one of the members, said, Let me try. He got up, started singing, and blew everybody in the room away! They could not believe what 5hey just heard. No one knew he could sing. The rest is history. (Robert Plant loves him.)
@@jamesfrost7465 he said "he stole his voice from someone I know very well" obviously I'm paraphrasing. "They claim they got their style from Aerosmith" do these sound like positive statements
great review. thanks for not shitting on the band just cuz they "sound like zeppelin". people say that like its something bad, as if we havent had a zeppelin-style band in 40 years lol
So many bands whitesnake/ kingdom come / white lion and more have some Zeppelin influences but Greta is a very good rock band 2021 .In the 70s there were so many great rock bands too many to list ..good review..
They are doing great - and they are smart and have good people working with them - they are in control and they will be huge - because they are doing it for the pure love of music.
Of course is good buying vinyl . You own the music . It’s on you’re shelf . You don’t have to pay for the phone , WiFi , Apple I tunes etc etc $15. Bucks , you own it . No middle man !
I learned about this band from an interview with Robert Plant. He was asked if there are any new bands he liked. He mentioned this one as being good. He did not think they were a rip-off or imitation even though there were similarities he hears. Basically he said the kid sounds like he sounds, it’s not an imitation and the. Univ is 1970s influenced rock and roll. Josh’s voice has changed his voice some over the years IMHO. His voice is big. His extended voices (Ooh Mama) now have a little vibrato added and he has developed a great yodel that he uses that sets him apart from other singers. My guess was he tried to develop his own sound. Think of Robert Plant’s sound in the opening of Immigrant song or his voicing of the call in Achilles Last Stand or his “Oh’s” in D’yer M’yker. They are very clean. Josh has added some raspy vibrato over the years. GVF has covered Zeppelin at live shows as they were starting out. They did not sound that great, I was expecting spot-on sound. It sounded way off. Their music has developed. Song writing is better. Music more complex arrangements, and they are bringing back the drum solos in live concerts! But nothing tops Zeppelin. But I don’t really compare the two any more, there is a difference. But can you image you put this song up on CZcams in your teens and all of a sudden everyone is comparing you to Led Zeppelin, and you have to start every interview with that question. A lot of pressure. Even if they played “Oh MacDaniel on the Farm” once the kid started singing everyone automatically thinks Robert Plant. Plus Plant said it’s been over 40 years since Zep began. He was glad that the sound of his era was coming back.
There are very few rock bands that haven't been influenced by Led Zeppelin in one way or another. I'm 64 and love Greta Van Fleet! I would love to see them live if I get the chance.
It is totally cool in my book to enjoy both bands. I can listen to Tangerine or Moby Dick and slide right into Black Smoke Rising or Age of Machine without flinching. To blow your mind even further, I can down a glass of merlot and then pour a glass of pinot noir without remorse. It's all good to me....
You need to listen to their other songs, the more recent ones. Highway tune and such were written by them when they were like 16. they have better songs
First they said they were influenced by Aerosmith then eventually literally admitted they do sound like zep via telling ppl their most recent album “doesn’t sound like zep anymore”.
You all forgrt how much Zep stole to become the Gods they are. Do not deny that they rock and are very talented. No like? go listen to Dua Lipa OR SOME SHIT. i LOVE THEM AND THINK THE NEW ALBUM IS GREAT.
I find that I actually like them when I don’t have to watch them. Guess I didn’t like watching Plant either-he couldn’t dance, and wore those awful, puffy, short-sleeved shirts.
Well...if you have the word "reaction" in your title, maybe you shouldn't be upset when they show a "reaction" in their video. So, I'd suggest you show a reaction in your video if you have "reaction" in your title. 🤣🤣
apparently this band Greta Van Fleet is not "new" at all and has been around since 2012. Over 8 friggin' years with 2 EPs and 1 full album that received mixed reviews. Some decent tracks but doubtful it's going on my playlist anytime soon. Why would I want to hear a band that sounds like Zeppelin when I can just listen to Zeppelin.....
@@higginsreport I hear some millennials who think they're "experts" talk about how GVF is "better than Zeppelin" which is hilarious. They have no friggin' idea what they're talking about and are utterly clueless. I grew up with bands like Zeppelin and I'm sure you're aware GVF is definitely NO Zeppelin. Some decent tracks but they're not even close. Over the same time period (8 years) Zeppelin had already released 7 albums. GVF has miles yet to go and to be honest I doubt they'll be around for another 5 years.
Finally someone who agrees with my point of view. It’s alright to have influences. Stone Temple Pilots was influenced by Led Zeppelin but they were themselves. A Led Zeppelin real fan can pick up the vibe and know why they are influenced by Led Zeppelin without totally sounding like Led Zeppelin. Greta is the most ridiculous joke I have ever seen.
prolly because zeppelin in 10 years zeppelin only had 8 albums (9 if you count coda)... FORTY YEARS AGO. why are you mad that we get MORE zeppelin styled music. makes it seem like you don't like the style, but rather just band wagon cuz everyone loves zeppelin. i grew up listening to LZ my whole life--played their albums more than any other artist in my catalog. i've always wanted "more" zeppelin and hated how their careers ended after 10 glorious years. now we get another chance for MORE music like that, and everyone wants to shut it down?? it's ridiculous and makes no damn sense. i never got to see zeppelin live, but now i can see a band that rocks AS HARD as them live. sign me the hell up
I’m an older rock drummer dude who saw Zep live in 1977 in Oakland With that said the first time a friend sent this to me I was sold I started sending it to my adult kids and my geezer old Rocker friends. Just good stuff for a newer band.
Dude I’m really glad you did the Led Zeppelin post you did that was so cool that I shared it. But come on I felt the same way when I heard them the first time. But then It started freaking annoying the shit out of my brain. Why because they have nothing absolutely. It’s been years that they had to prove that they are Greta Van Fleet. But no they can’t even do that because they stick as being a Led Zeppelin tribute band with original songs. I won’t ever buy a stupid record for the one hit wonderful song. I’m still discovering Led Zeppelin! apart from the original recordings there are bootlegs records available, I don’t waste time on imitators if you want to listen to something original listen to Cage the elephant they at least try to be themselves and have their own Efen voice!!!!! The day I’ll buy a Greta Van Fleet is when they don’t sound like Led Zeppelin and actually be themselves not clones. Come on dressing like Robert Plant and doing hand gestures and to Deny Led Zeppelin and to say Aerosmith is their main influence is efed up! The last band that denied Led Zeppelin was a Kingdom Come and you already may know that they went down for this. And today people put up with this? Come on? Greta Get your Van out of here!
Lich, you make some great points. What do you think of "Age of MAchine"? BTW, the hand gestures and clothing are pretty obvious and I agree denying the similarity is pretty ridiculous. They aren't a Zeppelin substitute but an additive...
@@higginsreport Rage Against The Machine kicks ass. Some people don’t like hip-hop I don’t like all of it but some classic stuff. I’ve seen Rage a few times and they always delivered an awesome concert.
@@higginsreport sorry I didn’t know that you probably meant a record from Greta. As I said I don’t waste my time listening to them. What for there are better bands doing and trying their best to be original.
He's not trying to imitate Robert Plant, that's his voice. The name also came from a woman who lives in their hometown called 'Greta Van Fleet', they liked the name and asked her if they could use it and that's where they got the name aha
he's not imitating anyone. that's literally just how josh sings. people like you hated on geddy lee too for "sounding like plant". josh cant change his voice and he shouldnt have to just cuz he sounds similar sometimes
GVF SUCKS! They aren’t even close to being as talented as Led Zeppelin! The Lead Singer “Screams” a lot of the time which makes me want to throw up! I’M DEFINITELY NOT A FAN!
@@higginsreport You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT MIKE! It’s NOT a fair comparison…………………To compare Robert Plant, Jimmy Page, John Bonham and John Paul Jones to the Kiszka Brothers plus one is UNBELIEVABLY DUMB!
@@reneehutchins3424 Let me tell you Sweetheart, “Common Sense” isn’t so “Common” anymore! Mike’s comment said it Best; Zeppelin is the “Sun” and GVF is a “Candle”! Great Comparison! Here’s even a better comparison; GVF is one grain of sand in the Sahara Desert and Zeppelin IS THE SAHARA DESERT! Perfect Analogy! Have a Nice Day!
If people who claim to love music would let go of the idea that a new band has to be "groundbreaking or totally innovative", let go of that. The boys rock. Yeah they sound Zeppish, but how many times was Zepp accused of ripping off old blues dudes?

Sounded great on my end, vinyl does have a crisper sound I think when you play it for the first few times

Yeah well I hate to say it but shock factor brings in views whether it's legit or not. Personally i'm not of fan of cutting corners either.
They’re the real deal. 3 extremely talented brothers.
And a kick ass drummer not afraid to hit those skins
Yes, They copy the Zeppelin sound to a T. I had the same reaction to them as I did when Kingdom Come's cover of Bang A Gong came out years ago.
Zep, famously/infamously, lifted so much from what came before, this band clearly pay homage as Zep did.
Greta Van Fleet sounds fantastic!
Yes it is
There are some awesome young bands coming out. Greta, The Warning, BandAid. List is getting longer.
I only piss off people I know!
Love it
First they said they were influenced by Aerosmith then eventually literally admitted they do sound like zep via telling ppl their most recent album “doesn’t sound like zep anymore”.
