Listen to this - Greta Van Fleet - Led Zeppelin re-incarnated

[pmc100]

Bunch of teenage kids, sound EXACTLY like Led Zep. I love Led Zep and these guys are amazing. But is it allowed to sound EXACTLY like Led Zep?

The singer is ridiculous. The Golden God lives!

 

[gtrjunior]

I just heard about these guys this morning. I’ve only heard a few clips so far but I’m definitely liking it so far.

 

[Knox in Box]

It's been done.



Probably their sons.

 

[vonbladet]

It is only right that Led Zeppelin should be shamelessly plagiarized, but that's still no excuse for drum solos.

 

[VoidTerraFirma]

I'll be looking for a bit more depth musically from these kids going forward. They're off to a good start tho.

 

[shoeless]

I can see a little bit of Led Zep influence there.

Ugh. I love led zeppelin, but that does nothing for me.. if I want to hear zeppelin, I'll listen to zeppelin. I guess I just don't really have or see a need for "more" zeppelin than already exists.

And yet if this was released as a long lost 1971 recording we'd all be 'yup, thats Zep all right, and its amazing!'

 

[Flamencology]

They need to replace the singer. And/or find a new lyricist.

...or just wait a few years until he loses that upper range. Maybe they'll replace him then.

possibly. but it wasn't.

my thoughts as well and I'll also add that the great thing about Led Zeppelin when they came out was that they didn't sound like the Beatles or the Who or Hermans hermits or Howlin' Wolf or BbKing...They sounded like themselves I'm not getting that from this band

 

[jp_nyc]

The secret to bass toanz is playing barefoot so your body picks up resonance from the floor.

Seriously tho, cool band. Definitely sounds like early Zep.

 

[gtrjunior]

Sure beats the hell out of listening to St. Vincent.

 

[Jbird]

Sure beats the hell out of listening to St. Vincent.

The trick to listening to St. Vincent is you have to watch a video with the sound turned off

 

[Jbird]

I guess I'd rather listen to Greta Van Fleet than listen to Greta van Susteren.

Wait till his nuts drop, it'll be amazing.

If I was to compare, they sound a bit more like Trapeze.

 

[Jbird]

Wow, the somewhat local show here on 30 December is sold out already, and the place is decent sized (Intersection, Grand Rapids).

I didn't think Greta Van Fleet would be that big. Heck, the Mastodon/Opeth show I saw there a couple of years ago didn't even sell out.

 

[Grant Gross]

I don't know what to think of them. They straddle the line between "heavily influenced by" and "total ripoff."
