Anybody dig the new Greta Van Fleet?

[Beyond Black]

I just listened to the Heat Above track
Pass. Tou much of a ripoff of Alvin and the Chipmunks

Cool track. Haven't a clue why but the music reminded me on the instrumental band Plankton.
They're not as heavy though. Really similar jam feel.

I agree - I thought the EP was much better than the first "album" - songs were better written with better hooks

I first heard of GVF through Robert Plant. When asked what new bands he likes, the first band he mentioned was GVF. I have to admit, I loved what Kingdom Come did. IMO, this is what a true "tribute" band does, not covers. I'll take Kingdom Come over Greta Van Fludder any day.

 

[Donnie B.]

Immediately thought of this classic.

It’s kinda the same as gvf and the rest the bands posted in this thread, I can listen to it and enjoy it in the moment but nothing is triggering that “I need to hear this again” nerve.

Bob rock told a story how somehow he ended up at John Paul Jones house who then kicked him out upon finding out he produced this record HAHA.

Heavy is rolling over in it's grave.

Probably because it blew-away "In Through The Out Door".

Graveyard come across as much more authentic than most other bands doing the retro thing.

 

[panhead]

Bunch of rich kids and their band sucks

 

[Webb]

Some of the songs are ok but I can’t get past the schtick. The outfits are ridiculous. Seems like they’re trying waaaay too hard and the singer has ZERO stage presence. Their performance on SNL looked like amateur hour.

 

[sivad]

What little I've heard and saw of them leaves me not wanting more.

 

[Donnie B.]

They came out balls a blazing but it sure looks like they've succumbed to their own hype.

They were a lot more raw in the beginning. Chops were not very tight back then though.

 

[mooncobra]

I’m not sure why I can’t get into them, they really are a great blend of a lot of classic bands that I should and want to love but it just dosent stick with me, I’ll give this new one a listen tomorrow when I’m working around the house

I can’t get into them either. That singer tries way too hard. He mimics Plant, down to his hand movements and vocal lines.

 

[NaturalBornBoy]

They're ok at best.

None of their songs make me wanna go buy their albums.

 

[Monkey Man]

Na. Fail for me.

Here's some real retro rock, performed with skill and attitood:



... and some newer clips:

 

[errrrrl]

I can't believe how big that SG looks on Greta's guitarist... those dudes must be tiny.
