Definitely agree, their older music definitely had that influence but they’ve really found their own unique sound now and Josh has really found his own unique voice that fits this new sound and he doesn’t sound like robert plant to me at all now

Greta Van Fleet really are really amazing. At the very first second you hear that voice you know exactly who is singing. That's a very rare thing in todays mainstream music industry and a very high grade to this very awesome band.

I discovered GVF during the pandemic, and they quickly became a favorite. Lots complain about them being a copy of Led Zeppelin, but I love that we have a newer band that reminds me of the music I grew up with. No autotune, just real people with real instruments.

I think the hate mostly stems from them acting like they aren't a Zeppelin clone. I saw them a few years ago at a little bar in Wisconsin then last year in PA opening for Metallica. Great both times, hard not to love a young group keeping rock going, but the "Zeppelin was never much of an influence" comments they've made aren't great.

They can play, sing, and rock. In a world of digital augmented music, they are a breath of fresh air for music's salvation.

He transitions registers effortlessly and then throws in a yodel, its mind-blowing. Pure talent.

I love your breakdown on them being "vintage but fresh", a backbone of a certain sound but with new things to say lyrically and musically. And the musicianship is often ignored in the demented debates online about them sounding like 10 other bands (depending on the song). Such a wonderful band.

For a more traditional vocal breakdown Chalk Lines live might be a better option, but honestly since Hi Ren has exploded I've explored pretty much his entire back catalogue!

I was soooo lucky to see them live and they're phenomenal. Age of Machine was lengthened so the intro bit was about 15 mins of playing around during a brief interlude! Stunning, then when the vocal bit comes in at like 0:34 was over the course of about 5 mins. Amazing

He reminds me of what would happen if Freddie Mercury were to collide with Geddie Lee (of Rush) , and you were to throw in a little Janis Joplin for good measure. I think this band is EXACTLY what the POP Rock genre needs today. a Fresh take on classic sounds. While the social media internet is full of one shot wonders trying to become the next huge thing. These guys are giving us free lessons in how to become the next musical legend.! Great reaction , I love your breakdown of what is happening in his voice as we go along.

Yes, GVF is often compared to Led Zeppelin, but in my opinion the comparison will be fleeting...or should be. They are developing their own voice as they rather quickly mature in the art. They have a definite melodic component that is missing in most modern music, it seems. I hear tones of, obviously, Zeppelin, but also Aerosmith and even Yes, defined by what they want to create. Speaking of Yes; have you dear Beth, done a reaction to Yes? If not, you should. You will be amazed. Try anything from A Night of Yes Music Plus. Also, check out the Doobie Brothers. Astonishing.

You have gotten really good at breaking stuff down during your videos- wonderful video!

This tour was one of the best shows I’ve seen in my life!

I saw an interview on TV with their mom. I don’t know if you know that Jake (guitar) and Josh (vocals) are twins and the bassist/keyboard is their younger brother Sam. The drummer, Danny, is a friend since childhood. Anyway their mom told the story that one day during practice in the garage, Josh and Jake had a disagreement and Josh came into the house. Their mom noticed the pause in the music and then they resumed playing so she didn’t think anything of it. A few minutes later Josh walked into the kitchen, much to her surprise, it was Jake singing. They just picked up where they left off while Josh was inside. I know on a couple of songs in live performances, Jake has harmonized with Josh. However I don’t know if he the same octave range, etc.

I love them also gives me chills

There's NOBODY today that touches this band's unique sound and talent. YES ..undoubtedly they are Zeppelin-esque...but it's a super fresh sound. Excited to see what comes next from them.

How can it be a complaint to be like Led Zep? 4 phenomenal musicians anchored by a generational voice

Great reaction, Beth

Also i notice his posture he is very still when going up. He doesn't move much so his vocals can get there because he is aligned and relaxed

I Love Greta more than any band out there,

"They have this very classic feel. For many bands that try to do that, they can sound dated, but these guys don't. These guys sound fresh and new, but with that vintage backbone." You literally just verbalized what sets this band apart from their peers. They've definitely crafted their own particular way, after years of intense study and practice, of taking key elements from not only classic rock but other genres, like world music and blues, and they've molded them and modernized them in a way that has truly worked out for them. The only other band I can think of that has managed to succeed at doing this are The Lemon Twigs.

Hi Beth! Another great vocal reaction. His voice is amazing! Would you be able to do a reaction to the KISS song - I Still Love You live MTV Unplugged version? Tks

i would love greta van fleet or at least Josh with JP. the whistles and yodels and amazing voices would be one of the most coolest songs.
