Their newest album is much better than their last from a technical perspective, the lead guitar is clearly trying to capture his inner Jimmy Page.

The really cool thing about those guys, having read several interviews... is that they never set out to be Led Zeppelin

But the band itself just had that love for old school blues rock, then they added that singer... and it naturally morphed into a Zep II thing, even if they kinda try to downplay it during interviews

Compared to what passes as 'rock n roll' these days, I love them... their hearts in the right place for sure

The coolest part isnt that they're doing it, its that there is still an audience for great rock like that... it gives me faith in our youngsters

I was at the gym the first time I heard them come on, I heard what sounded like the trademark Robert Plant wail. I dropped what I was doing to Shazam them, thinking it was a Zep song I had miraculously never heard before.

You're exactly right, their heart's in the right place. It's not like some cheap imitation. They're pulling from the same blues rock influences Zep did, and they do a great job. Just coincidence in the vocals

Yep. That’s where I first heard of them as well in the thread from Nzoner.

So this is a hard thought to hash out in writing but I think you'll know what I'm talking about.

Jimmy page has a rif that he integrates throughout several of his solos in several songs. Kind of a building arpeggio scale. If Greta Van Fleet can come up with their own but similar thing, they are on track for legendary status

I googled it to see if there's a name for it, but it might be one of those things the average listener doesn't have the ear to pick up on. But it's kind of his default solo theme, that he varies and improvs

The similarities to Page are undeniable, wouldnt argue the Jimmy influence at all

I'm just an ear player with little formal training, but Jimmies influence is undeniable with Jake Kiszka... dont care either way, love what those kids do

They're plenty young enough to grow and put their own stamp on things, I'll tell you this much... if they come around here, I'm there
