Nope. To much of a “cover” band for me. Then they lie and say Zeppelin wasn’t/isn’t an influence. I understand why they say it because they’re fully aware that they are ripping off another band. They have to steer clear of Zep in interviews.
Rock needs innovators to push it back into the forefront of modern music. These guys aren’t doing anything to strengthen the genre, in fact I think they’re hindering it.
It’s cute that they were able to copy their grandparent’s record collection that well though.

It's OK but I've already had Zeppelin as my favorite band, then moved on to other/heavier bands while still liking them, then going back and remembering how much I loved them, etc.
I don't need another Zeppelin.

Funny how so many people gravitate towards vocals and use them as a main band identifier. The music sounds nothing like Led Zeppelin, people are blinded by the Plant copycat vocals that's all.

To those that say they aren't trying to emulate old Zep are in denial... the breakdowns and tempo shifts are clearly ripped off from Led Zeppelin. While I admire their effort I give them a C+ for originality. I have heard a couple of tunes and they are alright but I felt like I was listening to a cover band trying to sound like Zep with a few cute changes.
Led Zeppelin broke new ground, like alot of the 70's and 80's bands. They are hard to top and that's why people are still listening to them 40 years later. Let's see if Greta Van Fleet is enjoyed 40 years out.
At least they are putting it out there as young musicians and if they enjoy playing it good for them, maybe they will morph in to their own style eventually. If the younger generation likes this new music it will lead them to the innovators of this particular genre... LED ZEPPELIN.
Kindgdom Come while alright was a ripoff too. I guess imitation is the finest form of flattery in the music world.

Is the younger generation loving this ‘new music ‘

They definitely have talent and seem to be growing somewhat popular on the rock scene with their few Zep hit songs. IMO if they ever want to be something long term though they are going to have to ditch the whole Led Zep cover vibe and do their own thing.

I've never really been a fan of Led Zeppelin in general, I don't like his vocal style, it usually just sounds like shrieking to me honestly. But they have some songs that I do really like or have grown on me- Gallows pole, over the hills and far away, misty mountain hop, etc. I blame my wife
I really do not enjoy any of their big radio hits.
But about Greta Van Fleet.. I just don't think they rock

I really want to like this band, it sounds great, band is excellent, but I've heard way too many 70's tribute acts these days that don't really seem more than just a nostalgia act complete with copying the looks etc..
Maybe as they get older their own voice and originality will come in to play and I'm more interested in that because they certainly have all the tools

Guess they don't sound enough like Van Halen or Dokken for this forum. We don't need another Nickelback either, but every time I turn on rock radio, there's another Nickelback clone getting airplay. I say good for these kids, there are many many worse bands to be copying.

Music does not sound like Zep at all. Singing does, so what. It has been 40 years since we heard Plant sing in tune, or in key or decently for that matter, in fact, he never sang a song live that resembled something he sang on an album. And i looove me some old Zep, huge fan, but could not stand them live.
My point is i find these kids good and the singer has an amazing voice that sounds like Plant and he has the same moves here and there, but it is his phrasing, his lyrics, there songs.
I say hell yeah.

These guys are very good & a refreshing change from all the crap rock/metal music of nowadays.
It's all been done at this point anyways as far as great rock music goes. As long as you're playing classic/prog/alternative/thrash/grunge rock or metal (& you're stuff is good), you're gonna end up sounding like one of the icons of the 60's/70's/80's/early 90's no matter what you do.
I embrace it because today's stuff is mostly shit
