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.

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.

Susan How can I contact you?? about GVF

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.

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.

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 am an elder who grew up with LZ and I love you guys!

They are so cute, I’m in love with their enthusiasm

Oh so down to earth please stay humble....💜LOVE 💜 YOU GUY'S 💜

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
