Hey guys, welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy where the proof continues to
be in the actual singing.
We got quite a few requests for this one. It's Greta Van Fleet, the singer is John Kiska
or Kiska, however you want to say his name.
I know they've been pegged as sort of Zeppelin clones, this, that whatever, and they
have their own style, but I just wanted to point out to you guys that they're a
great rock and roll band, and they do sound a bit like Led Zepplin.
I went ahead and chose the song Highway Tune because it's got a lot of views,
yes, but also because it's a really cool track and it does sound like Zep, but
we'll talk more about this on the way, along the way.
All right, let's rock. Here we go.
Okay. So, right out the gate we're getting, you know:
You know, he's a total Robert Plant that you gotta admit, sounds a lot like Robert
Plant and it's cool.
You know, young guys doing this, this is awesome, but you do so a lot like led Zepplin. So, in a good way.
And by the way, you know, there's other bands, I mean Whitesnake sounded a lot like led Zepplin, so a
more recent band, in fact, Pressure and Time, the Rival Sons has a couple of pieces that
sound like led Zepplin. Nothing wrong with that.
I'm sure you're growing in your own, and you know, you're going to move into that space,
but I do want to emphasize that there's some definite Zepellin influences, even down to
some of the haunting little Reverb vocals in the back of the beginning of the track.
So let's continue.
Okay. He keeps it:
Probably not the exact right notes, but
where he's got that Robert Plant kind of whiny thing
going on.
Even the stabs, the note choices, are very Led Zeppelin inspired, which is cool. I like it.
Let's continue, here we go.
Very Robert Plant. Very Robert Plant.
He's got that nasality of Robert Plant
Lotta Robert Plant goin' on there!
Even his guitar tone sounds a little bit like early Jimmy Page
The same kind of licks, too
Nothin wrong with that. Jimmy Page is one of my favorite guitar players.
Nice fresh talent, I love new talent that is TALENTED!
You got to admit, guys, come on think about this, you know, when you think about what's that scream
in the Led Zeppelin Song?
He's got that same kind of vibe, right? But that's awesome man.
You know? It's cool, good fresh stuff, good song, good energy, love to hear younger talent coming
up the ranks, doing something cool.
That's not just, you know, another boy band, or whatever, so...
Awesome!
You know, Yeah! Great stuff and yeah, their newer stuff, they're coming into their own, and they're throwin'
down on some cool stuff.
So, hey man, hats off to them! What a great band, like I said. Check out the Rival Sons though, too.
Like I said there's some - Pressure and Time is a lot very similar too...
It almost went
we're missing that part of that, that song
from Rival Sons, but check them out too.
Anyway, Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the PROOF is in the SINGING.
TWO THUMBS STRAIGHT UP
for these guys, they're awesome.
I'd I love to see them live in concert! That'd be fun.
I'd like to see them with the Rival Sons. That'd be a good show.
Anyway, guys, thank you for joining me, and until next time...
Peace. Out.
