Greta Van Fleet

I mean, there are a lot of neo-prog bands on one side, and Flaming Lips-y psychedelic indie bands on the other, but, no, no one recreates "Close to the Edge".

Beg to differ:

Anyway, back to the thread

hold up there are plenty of bands imitating Yes they just don't sell any records

unfortunately i'm not above listening to a mediocre-to-shitty rock record just bc greg kurstin worked on it

I love how many of the boomer Zep fans who basically are averse to new music for lacking creativity suddenly embraced Greta Von Fleet.

i definitely don't want to live in a world where it's 2053 and bands are still obsessed with sounding like a band that's 80+ years old

lol who am I kidding there won't be a 2053.

But will there be a 2112?

GVF should form a Rush cover band called 2113, because they sound like a bunch of 13-year olds trying to cover Rush.

hahahahahaha fucking amazing

ahah. I would go to an Oasis reunion tour if they did stand up comedy instead of songs.

I always thought Noel was the better insult comedian, good on Liam.

Wibbling Rivalry was their best release

I think Liam being a lot cooler than Noel has really become apparent in the past decade

bahaha excellent

I think Liam being a lot cooler than Noel has really become apparent in the past decade

100%. Noel is an anti-masker still bothering us with new music, Liam just posts "I said maybeee" on twitter everyday.

I hadn't fully realized how mediocre they are, esp the guitar player

singer is deeply embarrassing

yeah they suck pretty badly

The drummer might be the best member of the band, but even still, that dead sound and that tired ass solo, man

randomly chose a spot, the singer was giving the crowd some sharp patter - "smoke 'em if you got 'em"

Might be a better line if anyone in the band didn't seem like they'd run screaming at the sight of weed... or a Juul.

I laughed out loud when he said that, and at several other moments

8:11

I wanna call it Spinal Tap-esque, but the Tap play a lot better.

this band is like kids who went to some "rock camp" and won the battle of the bands at the end of the week

More 'Spin Doctors-esque' I think

If you
Want to play the Zep
Make sure you're more adept

They learned the opposite lessons one should learn from Zep. “The interminable solo sequence in The Song Remains The Same was not terrible or embarrassing, and we should start our show with it!”

And ums otm.

Yeah, they suck. Something weirdly superficial I've noticed, too, is that there are a lot of little frontmen that seem larger than life, but this guy just seems ... tiny.

yeah I kinda can't believe how young they look. Or maybe early twenties looks a lot younger than it used to

he's like the dude who pulls off a decent AC/DC mimicry at karaoke night and thinks he's Brian Johnson

whom amongst us

Lol *looks to side uncomfortably*

The Battle At Garden's Gate is more of a Peter Gabriel-era Genesis album title, honestly.

Do they have pubes

that there are a lot of little frontmen that seem larger than life, but this guy just seems ... tiny

Should have been studying Dio instead of Percy.

Percy Sledge?

Percy Sledge Fleet

Yeah, they suck. Something weirdly superficial I've noticed, too, is that there are a lot of little frontmen that seem larger than life, but this guy just seems ... tiny.

It's really odd -- he's kind of slight to begin with and then he has this way of tightening his shoulders and keeping his arms in and shrinking himself. He looks very blankfaced on stage too, like he's really not sure what he's singing or why he's singing it.

Their costumes look like mom made them.

The guitarist probably has the most presence out of all of them but p much does that one leaning way back move almost the entire show.

Audience seems to love it, people just love classic rock so much that even a pale imitation of it sells. Like these guys aren't just sub-Zeppelin, they are sub all the imitation Zeppelins that came after Zeppelin.

They are sub-Wolfmother.

My hard-rock pal (who agrees they suck) says he reminds them of Kingdom Come.

They're like a band that has actually never heard Led Zeppelin, or any amplified music, but then heard and saw Wolfmother, and were like, this band is crazy, you can do that!? This is the greatest music of all time!

he reminds them
^flip that and reverse it

They are sub-Wolfmother.

TAKEDOWN!!!

Wolfdaughter?

At least Kingdom Come were competent at Zeppelin imitation. GVF are EASILY one of the most incompetent rock bands I have ever heard. And they seem to be getting worse with each release.

One for the sticker

Showing some real range by also doing sub-sub-Rush

oh man, the opening instrumental shit in that red rocks video is infuriating.

Yeah when he does that wheedly lick that every 14 year old stumbles onto in their first six months of guitar, but for like a few minutes straight!
