Listen to what happens when your dad's David Gilmour. They're clearly a close loving family but can it be healthy or wise to be this close? That was pathetic  how sad really! This reminds me of those Great Van Fleet jokers cloning Led Zeppelin! |

It's quite disturbing alright. And doesn't the keyboard player look very like his dad back in the day! Maybe the problem though is one of the record company only being interested in Gilmore's son IF and ONLY IF they can sell him to Pink Floyd fans. |

I'm wouldn't be too hard on Greta Van Fleet. They are just a Zep cover band (and a pretty decent one at that) knocking out semi-original songs instead of straight covers. There are lots on folks happy to listen to them and buy their music and lots of music media types willing to pronounce them as the second coming. More fool any listeners who don't go and discover the source material for themselves.
But, then again I haven't listened to any interviews with the band. Hopefully they aren't full of it.

I think of Chuck Berry too, who Keith Richards found infuriatingly ill-disciplined. Maybe that shows the difference between their approaches. The Stones seem to tour the same hits, the same way almost annually. Chuck presumably felt almost contempt for his songs, and possibly his audience, his equipment, his backing band and the venue owner too.  He was also pretty contemptuous of the law and human decency too but should that make us judge his music?  Discuss without making any reference to Michael Jackson, Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey........ |

Has Greta Van Fleet deployed a Clavinet yet in any of their songs? I wonder where are they on their journey through the Zep back catalog?

To be fair, if you've grown up steeped in the music, sitting in the wings of countless Pink Floyd shows, sat in at recordings, been in the same house as the music being written, and possibly asked for or been given a lot of playing pointers from such a hugely successful and influential player, even absorbed the same likes and dislikes, you'd be hard pressed not to follow the same course. You could, of course, rebel and not play an instrument at all. But this song has so many elements of Dark Side of the Moon in it that it can only sound like a contrived cash-in.

It occurred to me that some members may not have heard of Chuck Berry.

How can you place Chuck in the same sentence with the patetic tiny winey Stone characters!? I mean Bon Jovi and Brian Adams share the first place in my book of the worst, but let me tell you, Stones are just behind them, not so much for their songs but for their personalities which really go on my nerves! Actually Stones and Oasis share the same place in my book  |

I wouldn't go by personalities for any artists. I generally don't want to know about the personalities of my favourite specialists in any field. If they happen to be glorious people as well then all well and good, but I tend not to stalk the actual people. I am relentless in stalking their output though!
It'll often take a pretty damaged or tortured soul so dedicate themselves to expressing thoughts or emotions, and, if they are titans at it there is usually a pay off somewhere. I find it best not to know.

For €5,600 you can buy a replica of Rory Gallagher's well reliced Strat ....as a left handed model!!! We live in crazy times folks. www.thomann.de/ie/fender_rory_gallagher_relic_strat_lh.htm'Sounds like the original'....LOL good luck with that! P.S. it's €1,500 more expensive than the right handed model. |
