I think you've missed the point of Greta Van Fleet. Highway Tune was written when they were still in high school so they were young and had a learning curve. I love both LZ and GVF. Every band learns from other bands. Led Zeppelin isn't recording any new music, a lot of their hits were covers they never acknowledged and were sued for and lost, or touring anymore. I was in high school when LZ hit the air waves so I grew up with them and they will always be one of my favorite bands. However, I've found another band that I love; the 1st time I heard GVF I thought it was a "lost" LZ song. So LZ led me to GVF. GVF has grown and developed their own sound since I heard them the 1st time. Going to GVF concert #3 next month at age 68. The concert stage is where they really shine. It's live, no auto tune, spontaneous riffs, solos, and fans from toddlers to elders.

That’s amazing! I’ve heard from several others that live is where they shine brightest. I never said Greta was bad or anything. I think they got the Led Zeppelin comparison early on and I think they’re leaning into it more because that’s what the audience wants. There is absolutely nothing wrong with giving the audience what they want.

@@emocatdadI think they get that comparison a lot because of the lead singer. Vocally that’s all the kids can compare it to because all their dads are listening or listened to Led Zeppelin. Especially since a huge breakthrough for them was playing Coachella, they got slapped with whatever the kids/20 year olds could compare it to. I don’t think anyone seriously believes they’re THAT similar. personally it sounds like a cute 70’s rock inspired band you’d hear walking past a teenagers garage band rehearsal.

@@Breensprout17 I think Josh, the lead singer of GVF, can mimic just about anyone. I've heard most of covers GVF has done from their early recordings and before they mastered songwriting, Josh just seems to be able to sound like anyone. But he is serious about his music and has taken voice lessons to save his voice and develop his own voice and to take advantage of his wide vocal range.

There is a reason this channel has so few subs (i'd say 90% bots) and that is you have no basic understanding of music history or the bands you speak of, as do most people that try and get views by saying they "rip off" Led Zeppelin. First LZ has been sued over 13 times a lost 12 of them for stealing music and lyrics from other bands. The payouts are in the hundreds of millions and multiple songs had to have the original song writers added to them. I'm a huge fan of LZ but you have to know that in their time they were hated, because unlike GVF they actually stole lyrics and music from others and not just "sounds like them" . Robert Plant said in an interview on tape when Paige brought up concerns with recording songs with others lyrics or riffs, Plant said that " it wont matter if we're famous because we'll have the money to pay them off" he then laughed and shrugged. So when people like yourself say they are like LZ and can't take you seriously because all music from the late 60's through to 80 sounded the same in that genre. The thing with GVF is that they wrote all original music and all original music and have paved the way for a new resurgence in "classic rock" the same way that bands like Velvet Revolver and Audioslave revived grunge with a modern flair. You want to criticize a band don't be lazy play the music and pause it with your critique pick out the parts you don't like and why but don't criticize a band you never heard of until you saw lots of people compare them to LZ on youtube then make a video like you are the first and not 1000th person to do so. The fact you don't play the video also leads me to believe you listened to about 1min of one song to confirm your bias then based this video on the words of others, who themselves listened to the words of others etc. etc. If you had actually listened to them you would know for certain they moved away from sounding a bit like LZ to having their own sound. To end this I will say the Plant himself likes the band and said that his voice at his peak could never reach that register and has said LZ doesn't need or want to people to attack a good band because he likes that good music like this hadn't been heard in over 30 years.

The overrated underrated argument is futile, as is anyone saying any particular art is objectively bad or good. At the end of the day, what does anyone’s opinion really matter about a rock band that’s selling out arenas around the world?

They are a great band with a huge following. Their listeners range from 14-80. They started out with an older demographic, but they have a much younger following now. Highway Tune was written when they were 15 years old. A wondeful live band.

I like them, they are one of the best making this style right now. You cant compare to the legends but they are good.
