if you dig 70's rock ... zeppelin, yes, deep purple ... that sort of thing

[mr_lebowski]

i give you ... the brand new (12/4/2020) greta van fleet song ... it's pretty epic i must say ...

[CincyDem]

1. I hear more Zep/Rush vs. Deep Purple. IMHO. :-) Good listen. Thanks. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

2. That's funny cause I almost edited deep purple to rush after I posted ...

But it's all the same basic genre ... the Fleet has some pretty Deep Purple-ish tunes, just not this one as much.

They're REALLY Zeppelin-ish though.

[CincyDem]

3. Haha - GMTA. Good ear though on Zep...both Page and Plant like, especially in the transitions. n/t

[mr_lebowski]

5. This was their first hit song, so it really wasn't hard to figure out who they were

looking to remind people of

You can't be more Zeppelin than this ... w/o being Zeppelin ...

[CincyDem]

9. OMG you're right.

Thought I heard a little Neil Young’s Woodstock in the open but it’s all zep.

[Blue Owl]

4. Good find!

And good comparison, I love me some 70's prog rock...

6. Inspired by Classic Rock and Koyaanisqatsi,

this band brings a timeless message.

7. Thanks man! Good stuff!

I was looking for some new music to get.

11. Honestly the singer dude needs to develop his lower range and write better lyrics ...

I've been saying for awhile they're a good band, they may eventually be great, but we'll see.

I def. like some of their songs and I dig the bands sound musically, but I listen to them only in limited doses because the singing is so one-dimensional. Robert Plant only sang like this some of the time.

Part of why I quite dig THIS song ... is how little singing there is

[Laelth]

12. It starts weak ...

Not quite Achilles Last Stand, but that’s what it’s alluding to.

No way John Bonham would enter a track so weakly.

And where’s the bass?

I had better hush now. Not my thing.

13. You saying it suffers by comparison to the greatest song, by the greatest rock band, of all time?

Yeah, I will definitely stipulate to that

I'm just happy that decent, Zeppelin-ish music is still being made

My complaints about this band are mostly the singer myself (see post 11).

I think the song in post 5 above is the probably best Zeppelin ripoff since the Coverdale was trying to be Robert Plant.

[Laelth]

14. Somebody's trying.

That’s very obvious.

I suppose I have to hope that they will keep working on it and get better.

Singer seemed fine to me. I agree that the lyrics are weak.
