OT: Sens Lounge XCVIII: 1000-Post Rule is Back Edition

[branch]

My 7yr old loves Greta, but I figured he was too small to handle Bluesfest crowds, and judging by the pictures of the crowd for the Foo Fighters, I think I was right.

But damn he would have loved to see Greta.

I never heard Greta Van Fleet before. I fire up their greatest hits on Spotify and all I hear is a shameless rip off of Led Zeppelin. He copies Robert Plant so bad right down to his cadence. Led Zeppelin already came. They happened. Find another sound.

**** Croatia.

I agree. You know England can never have nice things, though.

Led Zeppelin is known for ripping off other people’s songs so it fits I guess.

That was one time. And wasn’t it thrown out anyways?

I did basically the same thing, and thought as well that they sounded very heavily inspired by led zeppelin. Though some of their work was reminding me of another band that I couldn't quite place too.

Wolfmother? Lol

At least ten songs. Well you can listen for yourself and decide too.

Im a Zeppelin fan I have a couple of their vinyls but I think it’s apparent they ripped off a ton of stuff.

Wolfmother? Lol

I'd have to listen again but that might be it. Wolfmother kinda became a thing in a period where I really didn't like much of the "alt rock" coming out on radio, so I never really got into them.

I don't know, Greta Van Fleet is enjoyable but it's definitely more because of playing off nostalgia than anything. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing, just have to recognize for what it is.

Wolf mother is sooooo bad. Sorry to be negative I just enjoy hating on bands.

Never said I liked them lol. I just remember a few of their songs and it reminded me a bit of Greta Van Fleet. Van Fleet definitely more talented though.

 

[Here I Pageau Again]

Woohoo! Yay for job security

Also, on baby updates. Her new favourite sound is to play with rolling her tongue around and going la la la la. Not sure if she's trying to speak or sing

Hopefully she's feeling better!!!

I'm seriously all over the map lately! Just moved to Cambridge, started work this week, and boy am I exhausted!!!

Little Miss is so freaking funny these days!! She's just all over the place and finally her two top teeth came in so she's way less cranky at night!! But no more night duty for me!!! I'm bringing home the bacon instead!!

 

[coladin]

Get a handle on what though? That's an outdoor concert for you. Security can't strip search everyone, they can't have eyes on everyone being a jerk, and they can't control what people ingest before they enter the grounds. "It" will never go away, the level of "it" will just vary depending on the crowd demographics (i.e. Blue Rodeo is likely to be more tame than the Migos show, which I accidentally wandered into last year after being at the war museum.. honest!)

True I guess, I think I grew out of that type of show.

The Who. Initially, I felt that way too, but the more I listened , the more it sounded like influences rather than ripoffs. I find his voice is more Brian Johnson in certain sections. He has got a heck of a range.

Right, classic rock played by young kids hits you right in the feels.

Moved to Cambridge, wait what?!
We need to grab a drink and have a baby playdate then!

I don't know who produced this Safari Song by Greta van Fleet but the drums sound pretty bad

Don't see Brian Johnson at all.

Saw them the other night before Foo Fighters. The drum solo was phenomenal.

 

[Harbinger]

Our Lady Peace.

Shame that band sucks so much taint these days.

 

[Smash88]

Yeah the Greta/Foo fighters show was awesome. Greta definitely has a Zeppelin vibe, but they are different in their own way. I don’t think they actually have an album out yet, only an EP or two, so they have immense potential.

 

[coladin]

His high notes I find unlike Plant and more Johnson, to these ears anyway. Lots of compression and screechy. Reading a Rolling Stone article , they have caught the eye of rock royalty. I just love their musicality. They are very clever with the insertion of certain sounds , background sounds specifically that , to me, demonstrate a really high , music IQ

[Caeldan]

Now that's a party. Though from my experience being there, the smell would be awful if they haven't had rain recently

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

Who is America? is insane. Very funny but terrifying. I have a feeling this is going to be the most culturally relevant TV show in the western world over the next few years.

Probably not.
