Greta Van Fleet bassist Sam Kiszka has uploaded a photo of his brother and lead singer Josh Kiszka shirtless backstage at a show.
Def Leppard’s Joe Elliott recently told ET Canada, “But the two obvious ones — there’s Greta Van Fleet, which is the big thing at the moment. Or Greta Van Zeppelin, as somebody’s called them. [Laughs] But, yeah, they sound like Led Zeppelin. So what? When we started out, we sounded like Queen and AC/DC. So, everybody’s gotta start somewhere. It’s okay to wear your influences on your sleeve these days, I believe.
My favorite new band, though, are The Struts. I say ‘new’ — they’ve been around for five years. Five years in The Beatles’ career is more than half their career. But things have changed a lot. I’m a big fan of [The Struts]. I think Luke [Spiller], the singer, is an absolute star. He deserves to be on the stadium stages. Hopefully one day he will be.”
L.A. Guns frontman Phil Lewis recently told Legendary Rock Interviews, “I like Greta Van Fleet. I know they get a lot of shit from people. [They are a] good band. Anything that inspires a 12- or 13-year-old to pick up a guitar or learn to play bass or drums is okay with me. That’s exactly what they’re doing, so right now they’re my favorite. [I have] great hope that they might be the ones to change everything, get kids off their phone, wanting to be DJs and wanting to do real rock instead. There’s nothing sexier, nothing cooler than a guy who can pick up a guitar and sing a song, or a bunch of guys in a band.
“Look at this Motley Crue movie [‘The Dirt’] — it’s gangbusters. People are going crazy. This doesn’t exist anymore and bands like Greta Van Fleet are making an effort. I notice that. I think it’s great, and I wish them all the best in the world.”
