Hey, guess who’s back…Just wait until somebody brings up Greta Van Fleet...

Not really on topic but i like youngsters doing rock. It is cool to have some new rock now and again to tickle the ears. While i didn't like a lot of Greta Van Fleets music there was a couple i liked.
I kind of felt like that through jack White's different bands - Black Keys, Rocket Face, recently The Bites

BTW, I sold a 1973 Gibson EB3 L to a music store in St. Louis. Apparently, Jack White bought it from them to record with. The Mud bucker in that bass was amazing.

If someone makes fun of young bands, as in "I'm too old for such young musicians." I always ask if those people watch sports.
Hmm, AC/DC meets the Georgia Satellites? The singer is certainly working the Bon thing, and it’s not like the Satellites were all that original in their time. Coulda used a bit more grit, but their hearts are in the right place.
I don't like Thin Lizzy but I learned to suck it up when we played The Boys are Back in Town. I hated that vapid song (still do) but the audience loved it (like a few other songs we did...we all know what they are) so I bit the bullet and played it, loud and proud.
@Michedelic I concur with your observations. I must admit that i still like the old classic rockers a bit more. Is it pure talent and quality or just years of exposure on the radio?!
However when one of my Ex GF's introduced me to Black key's "I'll be your man" -i thought it was some old 60's or 70's song i somehow missed.
LOL

This song is actually super fun to play on bass. It's on my setlist for a sub gig I'm on this weekend. If I get video of it, I'll post it here for ya.
And I'm good with that, for all of 'em. I mean, imagine the Edge doing Chicago blues, etc.
Re the Black Kees, I don't like 'em, not one bit, except Auerbach is a good producer - one of my top 10 "recent" albums is the Dr. John he did.

I was learning it to be a team player. The band dropped it. I got close to that sort of sub bass sound. I think I could have done it. So, ill look forward to the video. Thank you. I appreciate that.

Is that a possible thread. Songs we hate but play for the audience, or band?
I can cope with music with no bass, but espresso without caffeine has very niche appeal...
Yeah, it’s what I call a hollow taste. It tastes like espresso but there’s clearly something missing.
Not something I would spend money on.

It's more in the (lack of) 'structure' than the taste, if that makes sense?
