Both of these modern rock bands are often cited as drawing heavily from their influences (or in the case of GVF, their seemingly singular influence). Which brand of possible copy-catism do you prefer?

I can't really vote as I have never heard anything by The Struts. I'm not overly fond of GVF ..... I prefer to listen to the real thing not a tribute band!

The hate for GVF is ridiculous. They are a wonderful young band with so many wonderful songs.

 

And so many people who whine about a lack of originality I also see fawning over really unoriginal fare.

 

Young band, hearts in the right places, a love for classic rock of various eras, and they write and play their own material. Is it envy that they found an audience whilst your personal bland faves have not?

 

They are wonderful. And I think they sound like a mixture of Yes, Led Zeppelin and early nineties alt rock.

 

Looooove them.

Well, I personally don’t remember saying that they lack originality. I only dislike the singer‘s voice. Hate, really. Sure, he’s trying to emulate Plant and that’s fine but it annoys me to where I can’t even focus on any decent elements the band actually has.

 

What’s ridiculous about hating someone’s voice? I’m sure everyone hates a vocalist or two out there.

I honestly hear a blend of Jon Anderson and Geddy Lee

A former flatmate/childhood friend told me about this band a year and a half ago. He mentioned Geddy too so I gave them a whirl. I probably listened to about 5-6 songs from them JUST because that former flatmate of mine who knew me well was so convinced that I’d like them. He was wrong + surprised by my dislike. Oh well.

:LOL:

 

I’m no fan of Poison’s Bret Michaels. But I think the pesky little GVF vocalist sings like his testicles are caught in a pair of pliers.

Can't vote.

I don't know anything about The Struts and GVF sucks ass.

 

I actually have heard this one. I just didn’t know it was The Struts.

 

http://youtu.be/ARhk9K_mviE

 

It does nothing for me but I don’t particularly dislike it either.

 

I do know this song. While the Queen and glam rock influence is obvious, this is actually a good, catchy song. I can't say the same for what I have heard from nasal von zep.

ok. i'm playing The struts. i do know these dudes were Hailed as retro gods. but DUDE they are too overproduced to be retro. not crazy about this singer either, lol. i have to be honest and say i think very few retro bands get it right.

 

The struts are not annoying me as much as lazy-van unoriginal do. they anger me. the struts........they make music man, lol
