09.16.21 | Nah they're great. Love the shit out of Garden's Gate.
They're stuff is fun Blues Rock that isn't trying to be anything more than it is. Feels like a mixture of Zeppelin and Steppenwolf. Nostalgia Rock is fun. |

09.16.21 | I'll never forget when I first heard them back in 2018 playing in the lobby of the apartment I was living in at the time. I was like, "Wait, is this some song from the classic rock era that was lost to time?" I Shazamed it, and figured out that no, it actually came out the year before or so. To which I was... confused.
Then that first album came out later that year, and spawned one of Pitchfork's finest moments in recent memory. As for GVF's music itself... I just find it to be painfully derivative, sounds and styles I've heard done better by other bands. Pretty much exactly like how I feel about bands like Opeth and Stereophonics. There may be little that GVF have done that I truly hate (outside of the singer's voice, which I've never been able to stand), but nothing sticks, either (and even Stereophonics have "Dakota"). I just find their existence in the pop landscape completely redundant, merely making me want to put on Zeppelin, Sabbath, and Cream albums to get rid of the blank taste left behind by GVF.
All just my opinion. |

09.16.21 | I feel it, but I enjoy derivative as long as I can jam the music. I enjoy the singers voice and I don't really get the hate. Highway isn't very good imho when compared to better tracks on FTF like Safari Song and Talk On The Street.
IDK I've always wished for a Led Zeppelin copycat to fill the void they left behind. I've listened to the same 70's songs so many times that I'm starting to get bored and that's good. Stuff like Wolfmother and GVF are extremely similar in style, but just different enough to never hold a candle to the originals. But that's okay, cause they are new songs I can listen to. Instead of jamming LZIV over and over and over again waiting for a reunion album I will never get. |

09.16.21 | I see what you're driving at in many respects, and if you like the music, great. I don't necessarily hate derivative per se -- pretty much every band comes from something, for me it's how you execute it, and I personally just don't find the execution to be very interesting at all. I am willing to be open-minded when it comes to future music released by the band -- should they release another album and I find the songs from it interesting, I will likely be rather open about it, but based on what I've heard from them across the past four years, I just don't see that happening in the near future. But that's just me, and others are welcome to disagree. |

09.16.21 | Oh absolutely I wasn't trying to argue with you or anything. |

09.17.21 | My cousin in Trinidad won’t listen to Greta van fleet cuz his friend listened to them & became impotent. His testicles became swollen. His friend was weeks away from getting married, now the girl called off the wedding. So just pray on it & make sure you’re comfortable with ur decision, not bullied

Yes.
Failing that, just be alone. Quality, not quantity. |
