Greta Van Fleet sounds like Rush??

[goose]

I'm waiting for their Behind the Music where we find out their dad was some hippie Joe Jackson who smacked Michael Plant when he didn't dance hard enough to get the fringe on his vest shaking.

 

"Look Sharp" is a masterpiece.

Sunday Papers, baby!

Is it true they are sharing the prize with Led Zep?

[Syrinx]

As long as Led Zep shares their royalties with Spirit and the many blues greats they took their music from :eyeroll:

[Thunder Bay Rush]

I wish this Led Zepp stuff would stop. If people would actually listen to their new album, it sounds very little like ZP. And, so what if you can hear that influence? Have you heard the first Rush album lately?

 

Give these kids a break. They really are very good and will only get better, especially, as they mature.

So happy for these kids... two of them just finished high school in June. Sadly, pretty much all the rock awards were handed out before the TV broadcast. The live show was all rap, hip & hop, techno dance pop bubble gum bullshit.

 

The Grammys were once really good... back in the 70s.

Greta Van Fleet, The Struts, and the story of rock's real revival

[rftag]

I heard about Great Van Fleet only recently. I was in Atlanta on business and someone at my company bought tickets to whatever was playing at the famous old Art Deco Fox Theater in Atlanta (probably assuming it would be a travelling version of a Broadway play or something).

 

As it turned out it was Greta Van Fleet.

 

[Note: Good thing this wasn't a few days earlier or it would've been Judas Priest).]

 

I gotta say, I thought they were awesome. I know I will probably get a lot of hate on here for saying so, based on the few comments about them that I have had time to read, but that's OK. To each their own etc.

 

The guy has amazing pipes.

 

Zeppelin ripoffs? I can definitely see why some would make that claim (the kid sounds EXACTLY like Robert Plant on some songs).

 

I don't care.

 

Their music is really, really good in my opinion.

 

A helluva lot better than anything else out there.

 

I DO hate the fact that the lead singer dresses up in a sort of late 1960s themed party costume.

 

But that's the only thing about the band that irked me (the other band members don't do that so far as I can tell).

 

Their songs are really good.

 

The guy has amazing pipes.

 

The musicianship is excellent (at least for a band whose average age is perhaps 21).

 

And as much as I HATE HATE HATE HATE his 60's themed costume party attire, I have to say, on stage, the lead singer has a really good stage presence that wins you over quickly.

 

He just seems like such a damn nice guy (remind you of anyone?).

 

I loved the show, and felt compelled to download their "Anthem Of The Peaceful Army" album and LOVE it.

 

This is my honest opinion.

 

Feel free to pile on.

 

As far as the Rush comparisons go, YES, I can definitely see why some might hear that. But it's the Rush of the debut album and perhaps Fly By Night (both unpopular Rush albums which I personally love).

 

But it's very subtle. His voice sounds kinda sorta early 70s Geddy here and there but without hearing the suggestion first I don't think I would've noticed it.

I have no problem with Judas Priest. But the people they invited to this almost certainly would have.

 

Old corporate suits primarily.

 

It would have been hilarious however.

 

It being GVF was more or less just as funny.

 

The corporate booker was almost certainly expecting it to be a play or ballet or something.

Thanks for your review of the show! It's always interesting to hear about a hyped band. I like what I hear of them but the closest appearance near me has been sold out for ages so I probably won't see them live this summer. It's pretty funny that it was a corporate outing, though, lol.

[JohnRogers]

When Greta Van Susteren do their 40th anniversary show I’ll be there...okay most likely I’ll be dead but if alive I’m there!

[Entre_Perpetuo]

I just want them to really find their own sound and write some killer songs, and fast. I can dig a lot of what's on the EP and the first album, but I've definitely played more Zep and Rush since hearing the GVF records than more GVF. I just find I don't care enough about what I've heard from them to start craving it after a while. Taking some time to make statement of a second record will do them and their longevity a lot of good.

[grep]

They do remind me of Rush at that early stage. Been saying that for a while.

 

Blows my mind that King Lerxst said the same thing. Hell yeah!!!!

f**k the hair metal fangirls here, I really like GVF.

i'm gonna sound so old here........but. i'm hearing the oh GVF is great way to introduce young people to this sound. well......point heard and taken. BUT.......just play them Rush and Zeppelin, lol

 

And if the 2nd record is just basically a jukebox again.......forget it.

While I'm not really a fan, Rival Sons should be the rock revival band getting all this hype that GVF is. They're much better at pulling off the old school rock sound while still making it sound like they're not completely trying to copy another band.

True.

 

But they have the stigma of being known as a cover band before they released their own music. Nobody respects cover bands.

Also true. and sad, cause they're about a million miles above GVF, IMO.
