    Jeez even that poster of them makes me cringe. How do people like them 🤷‍♂️ Great thing about an opinion is no one is right, but oof 
    Oh, and btw, their core audience is teenage girls. Somehow they tapped into that demographic, which is how they can fill arenas with suspect talent*.

    *-musically they aren’t all that bad, just not very creative and mostly rehashing music (often lick for lick) from the ‘70s.

    Thought you, rather confidently yesterday, purported that today was the day? ;)
    Pretty sure you can't prove that :wink:

    I know I'm an old fart but their show at B&B last year sounded like the same song for 75 minutes.

    Tried a little too hard to channel Robert Plant.
    As in people in the audience were laughing.

    I went in curious and hopeful...after listening to them I was hoping to never hear them again.  It was the same for everyone with me.

    While not major to some, Greta Van Fleet is announcing their tour tomorrow I believe 
    If there’s one band I could pay to never hear from again, it would probably be them... I’m sorry, I just can not handle them 
    Agree.  Love Zeppelin, and when they started kind of dug it.  Saw them at a small venue in Portland (500 capacity or so) when they only had their EP released.  Show was not good.  Granted they were younger and just starting, but between all the solos they did to fill time, I just didn't feel anything from them and was left with a bad taste.

    I feel I'm on the opposite side of the Spectrum.  I've enjoyed Greta Van Fleet.  I've been listening to them since they released the double EP (From the Fires).   I don't really care for most modern rock music.  Most if sounds bland, overproduced and lacks soul.   You can't really tell one singer from another, and they bury the vocals behind the instruments.

    I dunno. I love 70s rock.  So Great Van Fleet kind of scratches that itch.  I know there's been a few bands over the years that have been billed as sort of sounding like Zeppelin.    Sure the singer sounds like Robert Plant, but at least the singer sounds like something :)

    I got to see them do a bar show in Toronto (Rebel Nightclub) in 2018.  It was a pretty good show.  They only had the double EP at the time, with their first full album getting close to coming out.   My only complaint about the show was that it was short (but what do you when you only have so many songs).

    I guess I'll be the contrarian on this thread.  I don't listen to too many modern rock bands, but I quite like Greta Van Fleet :)

    Well, the good news is, you'll have another chance to see them when you're in St Paul for PJ. ;)
