Yesterday we have rehearsed a new song with the band, the song "Black smoke rising" of the American band Greta van Fleet.
The song is really awesome to play, as a bassplayer you can really improvise within the song. I had already heared of them before but not really paid any attention to them. So this weekend I had a look at some songs and historie about the band.
The band was founded in 2012 and consist of three brothers and a friend. They are strongly influenced by Led Zeppelin which you obvious can hear in their music and the way their singer sings. I do think that is one of the reasons why they are going like a rocket to the top of the music industry. They are really young and to produce such a 70's sound is really something.
Robert Plant was asked about what he thought of Great van Fleet, he gives his opinion in the next video.

I also ran into a article of Rolling Stone Magazine where Greta's frontman Josh reacts to a lot of people whom says that Greta van Fleet is sounding way to much as Led Zeppelin. He said that people must stop making the comparision, they are indeed influenced by Led Zeppelin, the aknowledged it and it is time to move on.
I do have my doubts about that because as I said I do think they got a lot of exposure just because they indeed sound a lot like Led Zeppelin. The atmosphere of the songs, the voice, the guitarplay. Do I bother? No of course not, they make some great music although I do think if the really want to get rid of the comparision they must release a album with a total different sound... If that will happen, we'll see...
Untill that time I am enjoying their music a lot but to be honest you have to roulate it with other music cause 6 or 7 songs with his voice get's a kind of boring.... (excuse me Zeppeling and Greta fans).
What do you think about Greata van Fleet ?
Have a great day
