or are all us old guys dead to the new kick ass rock.
My boy introduced me to these brothers from Michigan, they rock like most can't.
You know what else always makes a song great?
A great singer.
Give these young men a listen and hear that rock is not dead!
Without further ado here they are GRETA VAN FLEET

singer almost ruins the thing for me. band shows promise, but I hope they can fly without sticking so close to the Led Zep routine.

The attraction isn't that they are something new and original but that they capture the spirit of something that was....yes, discovered them a year ago....the thrill lasts about a week. Then you realize it's just a facsimile.

They're lipsynching the video, obviously. The guitar tone is completely an amp-sim. I have nothing against amp sims, if they're used right - but the fizzy sound is not that.

Doesn't everybody who produces a video against there recording.
You can enjoy music for what it is or pick it apart with your supposed superior cynicism.

Yes, pretty much. Some do it better than others.

Excuse me! I thought this was America, where everyone is allowed an opinion. Guess that only counts if they agree with you?
