    I think it would help if they dropped the 60's nostalgia look. that seems more forced than anything, and I've mostly enjoyed the music they have put out.

    And I thought that the kids with the guitar and bass were going to run into each other.  Not everyone has a great performance and perhaps it was an off night.  And who dressed that lead singer that night?  WTH was up with that shirt? :fearful:

    Sorry, but if they don't want to be compared to LZ, perhaps their sounds needs to evolve a bit.  I don't think that they are bad.  In fact, I wanted to go see them but was completely unwilling to pay the same to see them (a relatively new band) as I did to see The National in Detroit.  But, that's just a personal choice.  

    I think that if their sound doesn't shift a bit to something of their own, they will quickly fade into the background.

    I am not surprised they are brothers.  They sound to me like what a junior high band whose parents only had Led Zeppelin albums would sound like.

    I'm pretty sure there was another guitar being played on the Black Smoke song they played on SNL.  If you watch the guitar player for the first 30 seconds or so you can clearly hear parts being played that he isn't strumming.

    Wow, that was bad. That's unfortunate that was their first big national exposure moment because they were not ready. 
    It's a hopeless situation...

    I don't understand the people saying they were bad....I think they did fine.  They are pretty impressive actually.

    I don't enjoy listening to this band, but I think the reason I have an actual dislike for them (almost against my will) is the comparisons to Led Zeppelin. As an LZ fan, I find that annoyingly insulting to Led Zeppelin.

    I don't deny that they have the LZ sound, and they are talented for sure.  But sounding like LZ isn't going to get you there

    It seems from your responses that you are a fan, but annoyed by those who aren't. You found their performance to be impressive. Fantastic. I found it to be less than wonderful, but kind of figure that not everyone can have a great performance every time.  I appreciate a difference of opinion, but am not certain that you are so cool with it.  I wish them well and hope that they find continued success, but personally feel that if they don't pull around their own sound with LZ influence and not the other way around, I believe that they will fade.  :peace:

    They don't sound like Led Zeppelin though, that's my point. I mean, not in an actual MEANINGFUL way, which would be sounding awesome. They do not sound awesome at all. They sound fairly shitty IMO, with only a pathetically lame similarity to LZ because of the vocals, which pale in comparison in any case (and frankly, his voice reminds me more of Geddy Lee than Robert Plant). I find them basically unlistenable. So just to have a band that I feel is unlistenable compared CONSTANTLY to the greatest band that ever existed just rubs me the wrong way, in a big way. :lol: So yeah, as a massive LZ fan, I fucking hate GVF!!! =) If people didn't make this ridiculous, offensive comparison, I would feel completely indifferent towards them.

    People, man. There are only three things wrong with them imo. A. a really cheesy song I can’t think of atm B. the price of their tickets. C. The incredibly short setlists. Yes they jam, but actual songs you mght get 10 on average? 

    Besides that, I am a happy listener!
