.. who else?
What I like is that it's melodic rock. Not that it sounds like Led Zepplin specifically.
Airbourne
I'm enjoying a band called Goodbye June at the minute.
King king
Rush
Pearl jam
More local and smaller stuff
Gorilla riot
Massive waggons
Big foot
Oh seen them twice. Once in Amsterdam. What a gig
The Answer are another relatively recent band that sound vaguely like Led Zep. I struggle a bit with their vocalist though.
For older bands, maybe something like UFO?
All Them Witches
LOL I thought Thunberg had launched a range of electric delivery vehicles and you wanted information on potential rivals...
Airbourne
Perfect answer!
Also to add to the list of 'bands that want to be other bands but don't have the talent' - Blackberry Smoke
Those damn crows are worth a look at too.
Oh try Heart for a proper female rock band
Thunder?
Man-o-war
Basically, anything played on Planet Rock should satisfy!
Apart from Nightwish, who are totally poo.
If I like Greta van Fleet then I’ll like….
Salford Van Hire ?
Wolfmother
I have a chum who likes Greta Van Fleet and is a big fan of Kris Barras Band.
Little Angels
Yeah, just listen to Planet rock for a few days 🙄
Remember to turn it over when you get the obligatory daily dose of Rush though
Wolfmother
Led Zep
And the circle is complete.
Older and more esoteric try Kingdom Come (more Zep wannabees) or King's X (genuine melodic rock)
Lenny wolf... the 1st kingdom come albums zeppelin but heavier
The Black Crowes. Start with Southern Harmony or if you're a fan of Led Zep then you could listen to the live album they did with Jimmy Page, for contractual reasons there's no Crowes stuff on it. The drummer from the Crowes is in a band called Trigger Hippy and I like their last album and another more recent one is Marcus Kings latest release. Those two are quite soulful rock albums.
Salford Van Hire ?
🤣
Oh try Heart for a proper female rock band
Well, only two of the band are female, but they’re the sisters who’s band it is.
This from 1977, possibly the best thing they wrote:
Clutch - post and including 'Blast Tyrant'.
The temperance movement.
Black pistol fire.
Basically, anything played on Planet Rock should satisfy!
I don't want old stuff. I know that GvF *sound like* Zep but they aren't, there's a different vibe and I feel that.
The problem I have with Planet Rock is that it's the same bloody records all the time, at least it is when I listen.
Tune in to the Radio Caroline (rip Ronan) chart on Thursday night. Plenty of new interesting rock on there.
Also Suzy Wilde on a Monday afternoon. Hearing lots of brilliant old stuff that's new to me.
Rival sons
Of theres a great fb group for new music new wave of classic rock too by the way
househusband
SubscriberClutch – post and including ‘Blast Tyrant’.
The man from Scotland has it & also including "Earth Rocker" "Psychic Warfare" and "Book of Bad Decisions"
Which is what he said withut the titles
Dust Coda
Massive Wagons
Laurence Jones
Joanne Shaw Taylor
Joe Bonamassa
Joe Bonamassa? Is that your joke suggestion?
From the one YouTube video I watched then Tenasious D.
+1 Heart
Also:
The Cult (from ‘Electric’ onwards)
Montrose
Jack White/White Stripes
Billy Squier
Them Crooked Vultures
*edit. And Humble Pie, I think they are too-often forgotten when discussing 70s rock. Steve Marriott had a distinctive style and should be familiar if you like GVF
The Jaded Hearts Club. A new band so limited songs but I'm hoping for some good stuff.
How have I not listened to Clutch before?!
I'd second Kris Barras as a recommendation. Saw him on a triple bill with Walter Trout and Jonny Lang and thought he was OK, but nothing special. Then I bought his recent album and I've revised my opinion upwards, he's a very good songwriter.
Some early Rush would probably appeal (I tend to think that Van Fleet's Cold Wind has a particularly Rush like quality).
No old music!
Planet Rock related again, but Wyatt's new rock show is well worth checking out for new and even unsigned bands.
No old music!
😣 You've already to Heart and The Cult on the list!
Clutch have been mentioned, how about a new take on old music?
Hertz van Rental. A Dutch guitarist I hear.
how about a new take on old music?
I guess that's what this whole genre is..
Wolfmother were good - definitely a fusion of old with the guitars and new with the vocals and lyrics.
If I like Greta van Fleet then I’ll like…
First time I heard 10 seconds of this, I thought the intro was for GvanF Safari Song
Joanne Shaw Taylor- Here Comes the Flood
