Greta Van Fleet

the original is an all time classic

Dude looks more like Danzig than Gish Billy

verizon ad harder to watch than music vid imo

he means the guitar player not the singer xp

Boomers just love their own Boomer-ness reflected back at them in a positive light, they don't really care about quality or skill

These guys look like a Jet cover band.

singer looks like the singer from an '80s hair metal band, the rest of the dudes look like a lite-grunge band from '98, they've got a "wolf" band name from 2006, very confusing

Anybody remember these guys?

Great revive.

still can't believe "Greta Van Fleet" is a band and not Greta Van Susteren's social media stan fanbase name

The one hit wonder band without a hit.

They disappeared over the hills and far away

"Highway Song" or whatever it's called is fun.

yes these guys are totally gone until their next album comes out in few months

^This.

It's not coming out.

I have forseen it

What is and what should never be

the other day, I was hunting for Fairport live footage, and YT suggested a GVF rendition of "meet on the ledge"; that kid's Dio-by-way-of-Percy stylings are…not suitable for that song…

Finally. After decades of searching for the worst possible cover version of anything, I have now found it. Thank you, veronica moser.

And we haven't even discussed their Spotify Single cover of "Rolling In The Deep"!

how on earth did they get the notion to bother with doing such a thing? I wondered if those kids' dad is like a baseball dad, forcing them as 10 year olds to listen to Zeppelin, beating it into them that this is the way to do rock music…

It may surprise you to know that 13 year-old kids are still discovering classic rock warhorses even in 2019. Which isn't meant to support these guys or their approach, but it's not exactly shocking to me to see that bands kids in their early teens are still doing that thing where they get super excited about the classic rock canon. Where they go after that phase is what seems to be more interesting.

yeah the surprising thing with greta van fleet isn't that teenage guitar boys love led zeppelin, its that anybody else cared

yeah no "beating" is generally necessary, kids just latch onto stuff they're exposed to (says the dad whose 6yo is constantly chanting the refrain to Judas Priest's "Breakin the Law" throughout the day)

a few weeks ago I saw some school of rock band where this tiny 14yo guitarist was absolutely raging through "20th Century Schizoid Man"

man, that Paul Green School of Rock shit is gross… it's one thing if kids discover it for themselves, but it seems like that guy is, based on a fee videos I saw, having them learn "One More Red Nightmare" like its "Autumn Leaves" or "caravan." Maybe I'm a jerk, but I'm glad that pedagogy had nothing with my wanting to learn to how to play…I guess we're resigned to having rock and roll having reached such a point where its something parents and teachers hand down to 'em, or I guess this happened 10-15 years ago… my 3 year old pounds the Beatles and the Rutles, but when she's past 10 or whatever, and 1000 Gecs turns out to be a foundational recording for her crowd, I hope I'm not an asshole about it…

I'm not gonna worry about it. In 20 years there will be a School of Cloudrap where kids will be taught how to autotune like Lil Yachty

LOL

Berklee used to have DJ Scratch Skills videos up where a guy who looked like Eric Stoltz show ya how to work the decks.

at the holiday parade this weekend the School of Rock kids were playing "Merry Xmas (I Don't Wanna Fight Tonight)"

Xpost Also auctioneering classes with the vocalist of Rednex

omg omg omg omg omg omg that video

there is a brick+mortar "how to DJ" spot in my neighborhood

are these guys still around?

some say they live in the twinkle of a child's eye

lol

does anyone remember laughter?

Well, they were the future of music, maybe we're not there yet.

For a band so studious of the work of Led Zeppelin, they still haven't managed to totally ape their early release schedule.

Maybe they're changing their template to early Boston

I'm for it!

If this were the mid-90s they would be recording with Albini as we speak.

They're still played four times a day on mainstream bro rock radio.

I am counting the days (hours?) until their weak little bubble bursts.

Maybe they're changing their template to early Boston

Can't wait see how their third album poll gets derailed...

Amanda Van Fleet

ok thats epic

If this were the mid-90s they would be recording with Albini as we speak.

albini would still do it guys, give him a call
