Jeff Keith sounds a bit like Steven Tyler on this song, and the melody is very reminiscent of Buckcherry’s Out Of Line.
Good song! And you’re right, Dana, Jeff does sound like Steven on this song! The music sounds familiar, can’t put my finger on it though, yet ..
Click on the Buckcherry song I mentioned…
It’s Not Love!!; And something else…
I thought It’s Not Love, at first, too, but it’s definitely more Buckcherry.
Bingo!! Sh-t! I wish I wasn’t so busy right now!
I hear a little bit of The Who’s “Won’t Get Fooled Again” and Jackyl’s “Down on Me” in the intro, too. The Who and Jackyl in the same sentence, wow. 🙂 Buckcherry’s “Out of Line,” spot on.
Thank you, Doug.
Occasionally, I am on the right path 🙂 That also happens to be one of my favorite Buckcherry songs.
As for your comment about The Who and Jackyl-LOL!!!
D 🙂
I saw Buckcherry open for Kiss on the Sonic Boom tour in ’09; I liked ’em; I like that singer..he actually drives the band, usually it’s the other way around.
I can’t get past the drum sound on here…makes this unlistenable in my car, which is too bad. No new music makes it into my car and no new music gets on my turntable….I have Sirius radio for the latest …I like Swing of the Axe by that band…what were they called again?
Maybe Ed should get his own youtube channel.
Eh, I find it catchy, so I can get past the less than stellar audio experience.
I have seen them live a couple of times, as well. The singer is Josh Todd, and he did have tons of energy. Looks wise, he reminds me so much of a tattooed version of comedian Denis Leary.
“Produced and co-written by Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen.”
I’d never have guessed….:)
Just listen to the vocal harmonies in the chorus – it’s pure Def Leppard.
Not that that’s a bad thing by any means.
I listened to the song after I read all you comments and Steve Tyler came into my head and I’m not sure it was because I read comments first but it does sound Aerosmithy, with a dash of AC/DC
He’s a great singer…his voice is the engine, like Blackie’s…it’s the reverse of how it usually is where the band is the engine.
I wish I could appreciate some of this new music that’s pretty good; Punky Meadows put out a pretty fresh sounding album recently that I really wanted to get into but I just can’t because I end up with this ear fatigue from that drum sound on there.
You know, if GVF can get better as writers I would get on board; at least they get proper sounds on their recordings. The other problem with them is the singer sounds too much like Plant….in order to copy another band like that, with the music, the singer has to have a different sound…The Cult copied AC/DC but their singer had his own sound…that’s why that band worked and Airbourne…I can feel Dana’s wrath right now…lol….does not.
Well, my Mom thought Ian Astbury sounded like Danzig, so there..LOL!
As I always say, to each their own, but I find that kid from GVF’s vocals to be pitchy, screechy and somewhat uncomfortable, and that is beside the Zeppelin plagiarism.
