Rig Rundown: Greta Van Fleet [2021]


Few rock bands have made a bigger splash over the past five years than Greta Van Fleet. Since their first full-length, From the Fires, won a Grammy for Best Rock Album, Jake and Sam Kiszka have constantly dug deeper to expand their band’s sonic scope. GVF’s latest, The Battle at Garden’s Gate, is packed with deep, nuanced sounds that all need to be created live by a classic rock-trio lineup with an amazing singer. The guitar-and-bass-playing team of brothers showed PG the gear they use to make it happen, at a recent tour stop at the FirstBank Amphitheater in Franklin, Tennessee. And special thanks to Greta Van Fleet’s tech Bryan Manley for helping with the details.

  • Might be a decent band but its a rip off of "song remains the same."
    Get a fresh idea. Create something new.

  • Jake seems to have had a really nice "bump" before this interview. He can't leave that nose alone. That's gotta be the really good stuff, lol ????

  • I don't play, write or sing, but I'm a musical savant. You kids should really re-interpret some Johnny Cash songs.

  • I don't care that this was 2 year's ago, this was great!!! I do not play guitar but am fascinated by it, & always wanted to learn but was a bit intimidated. At 11 or 12 a friend's brother gave me a few drum lessons because I was always fondling his drum kit. This after probably 5 years of begging my parents for piano lessons. They said no because we didn't have a piano at home. Illogical to me. So I've considered myself a drummer since 12. Then, a couple year's ago I'm at my best friend's place & he's got so many instruments. A lady came over that I had heard about – a kick ass drummer. She jumps on the drum kit, my friend has his Les Paul out, & the lady tells me to pick up the bass. 'Nah. I'm not a bassist. And apparently, I'm not a drummer either, but I appreciate great music!!!' Again she says, 'Pick up the bass'. And then again. So damn, I picked up the bass. I didn't see, but she had started recording. I was so scared & nervous that John Paul Jones would hear me all the way across the pond & swoop in & grab the bass out of my hands!!! After a couple song's &then just jammin, we sounded pretty damned good! I went into that experience with absolutely no confidence that I had any spark musically, whatsoever. And I'm very happy to say that I was wrong. It took a couple month's, but my friend & I headed down to Guitar Center in Sacramento & he bought me a Fender Squire jazz bass & a Rumble 15 amp. I'm still learning of course. And I'll probably just play at home & with friends, but I seriously appreciate Sam, because he also didn't want to do it at first, & had to be waylayed by his brother's. So I get it!!!
    I've had a lot of superb band's as 'My Favorite band!' before. But GVF has blown them ALL out of the water. When 'Starcatcher' came out, I also bought another new release, & it was a band I worshiped. Since that day, I've probably listened to the other maybe 5 -7 time's. I have no clue how many times I've listened to the whole GVF catalog! I love them so much, they all play numerous instruments, they know their music histories & who did what, & they know their camp's. (My friend who bought me my bass has 2 gigantic Marshall amps with the tubes. What SOUND!!!!!
    Speaking of sound, when Jake was showing – which peddle was it now- where the sound bounces back & forth , left to right – my phone picked that up incredibly well & it sounded so sweet. I've always loved that experience at a concert.
    These guys are so incredibly talented & I understand so much more now after watching this. Especially about what haven't we done & what rules can we break? I LOVE that, because I've always been a rule breaker. So keep ona rockin, rockin me baby.
    LONG MAY YOU ROCK GRETA VAN FLEET!!!!! ????

  • Thats why love live music. I can actually feel the vibrations in my belly. Im getting too old for live concerts now but Im so thankful I have those experiences. This band has a nostalgic sound but is innovative at the same time. Brilliant.

  • Cool video. I loved Sam & Josh's kiddie cocktail break table where they talk politics. Have you read Deception by Rand Paul? Great detailed book.

  • Does anyone give a shit what this guy uses…I don't think so.
    What a joke.
    Get this garbage out of my YouTube feed.

  • Premier Guitar, please do an updated rig rundown with the band! So much more has evolved since then and I would love to see it broken down once again. Love the series!

  • Jake and Josh get most of the love in the fandom, as the talented guitarist, who have played around with guitars since he was three and the twin-brother who backed him up, but you can clearly see here how talented and impactful Sam’s playing is.
    He’s the guy they pulled into the garage when he came home from school because they needed a bass-player in their little set-up, and then he evolved to become so much more.
    The respect for these guys need to be destributed more evenly, cause you simply can’t build up songs with this sound without each of them really knowing their craft.
    Hats of to Sam
