Nerd/Zep alert - Gretta Van Fleet on SNL tonight

[RVA]

Many members have mentioned this band. I do not really care for them, but I will give them the chance to change my mind tonight

 

[eSGEe]

cool----I heard them over the intercom at Dollar General a couple weeks ago--- LEd Zepplin took 40 years to be "mainstream" Greta has done it before the lead singer is old enough to shave-----YEAH!

 

[RVA]

The singer looks like a Hobbit from Lord of the Rings!!

 

[RVA]

So, that was awful IMO. Buy that song a soul

oh thank the LORD I ma not the only one that thinks that

 

[eSGEe]

Grab the RIND!

I really really tried to like GVF's SNL performance tonight, but I just couldn't do it. Guitarist Jake Kiszka's tone was awesome, but that's all I could hear. Don't know if it was a poor sound mix, or JK deliberately drowned out his band mates. Was Sam Kiszka, the bass player even plugged in? And I think I finally gave up on any tolerance I had for Josh Kiszka's voice.

Oh yeah... The ending sucked.

Too bad...

Their music is even on commercials (Fanatics). Their popularity points to one thing: their is a void of new bands in that genre. Maybe the the style of classic music will become popular again. I'm sick of pop music.

Agree....

AMEN!!!!!

 

[Sp8ctre]

Their popularity is being driven by heavy propmotion and marketing.

It's been a long time sice the music industry has pushed a Rock band and I think they are attempting to revive things. But, purely from a money standpoint...

Just watched the SNL performance on YouTube...my god his vocals are terrible! And is he going out of his way to dress like a weird 60's hippie? Looks homeless...

I do like the band and I have bought their albums because I want young bands to succeed, but this was cringe worthy...

 

[eSGEe]

did the same--- yes --- either they are using TONS of auto tune on the recordings/videos or-- the sound at SNL was CRAP

I’m wondering if the stage monitoring was as bad as the over air mix. In the electric tune, the massive bass rig was non existent, and the drums were a bit subdued. I could see this getting me flustered, as a singer/player. I’d have been quite frustrated and annoyed....then a bit embarrassed.
I’ve watched a couple of their live performance videos, from the Fallon show etc, and they’ve been pretty solid. But this SNL thing was not a good example of these guys.
I’m not a fan, but not a hater(I really liked Chris Cornell, and Soundgarden, and remember them getting flack for being a “Zeppelin rip off”...but these guys eclipse that, and seem to embrace it). I’d rather see more music in this vein succeed in the mainstream.
At least these guys don’t make me want to immediately change the radio station when they are played, they just make me want to go listen to some Zeppelin.

The sound was crap and so was the band. If that is how they sound live they won't survive long in today's market where the money is in touring big venues. Their recorded stuff sounds a lot better.

 

[Chubbles]

It did seem off for sure. I have seen better performances of theirs. I have it on DVR. The lead singer looked scared to hell.

If he looked scared maybe his processing equipment wasn't working?

Here's another (Ram Truck). They are pushing it.
