Monday Metal: Greta Van Fleet Edition

When Greta Van Fleet tries to be Led Zeppelin, they really try to be Led Zeppelin:

The result is the above nonsensical mess. The video is Led Zeppeliny but matches the song not at all. 

They should have shot the band playing on a movie set and shelled out for a couple of porn stars to vamp for the camera. We'd suggest, say, Jenna Haze or Stella Cox, whom we understand to be adult film actresses, you see. Gentlemen should feel free to opine in the comments.

Monday Metal

Yes, we're bringing it back.

Greta Van Fleet, whom we've plugged here before, is making headlines.

This article calls them 'Saviors of Rock'

Boy do they ever sound like Zeppelin. Eddie Trunk really kills them here.

Those guys are young and so are lots (but not all) of their fans. To a generation raised on rap, Maroon Five, Lady Gaga, etc, etc, GvF would sound new and fresh, even it they sound old to middle aged guys like us.

C'mon Eddie, you were young once. 

Monday Metal: Just put a Bullet in my Guitar

The print issue of Guitar Player Magazine, which we get copies of for some reason*, has a big feature on Greta Van Fleet's Jake Kiszka.

Do they sound like Led Zeppelin? Gee I dunno:

That video is just depressing as hell. 

There's a granny in a shawl for Christ sake!... A granny in a shawl.

The old guy in the purple shirt looks like he oughta be talking about storming Normandy Beach.  Ok fine, Frozen Chosin, but still.

Who the fuck are these geezers commenting on Rock & Roll?

I'm gonna go shoot my guitar and put it out of its misery.

Robert Plant knows himself when he hears it:

Of course in the Decline and Fall of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years, Lemmy said 'it's all derivative' and he's right.

We've sung Greta Van Fleet's praises before. And well, besides:

Not bad for a 44 year old schlub playing for his 8 yr old, eh?

*Seriously, we have no idea why this magazine shows up in the mail.
