Some close-ups from our walking holiday in the countryside
Love the micro and or close up concept of capturing an image. Looks awsome! The colors of the moss and lichen on that branch are gorgeous.

I know GVF is the front-running scapegoat for a Zep clone, but I have to say that without a doubt, Rival Sons are the absolute most obvious rip-off artists as far as Zep is concerned. The vocalist for GVF might sound pretty similar to Plant on a couple songs, but the music itself isn't very close. However, Rival Sons are almost verbatim copying Zep riffs and slightly twisting them to their own format (to avoid copyright). I'm actually completely amazed that GVF is getting so much flack compared to these guys. And how it's been ignored and overlooked is nothing short of phenomenal.
Rival Sons got some heat for sounding zepish when they first came out, but what riff based band isn't sounding similar to zep or Sabbath...been that way since the 70's. There's only so many notes in a scale.
The comparisons and the criticism differ between GVF and Rival are extremely warranted.. the kid who sings in GVF seems to go out of his way to duplicate Robert Plant's stage mannerisms. To the point where they come off as a bad tribute band in my opinion. ... now granted they have only put out 1.5 albums at this point to my knowledge, and still have room to develop artistically. They would do themselves a favor by getting a real rhythm section. I've played with better drummers and bassists growing up in high school bands.
Where as Rival Sons play with authority. Each member plays their ass off as if it's their last show. If you have a chance to see them live, check them out. You'll find they resemble Humble Pie more so the zep.
I haven't bought into GVF yet. I want to but what they're currently doing comes off as amateur . I'll make a point to see them next time they swing through Dallas. Maybe live they will sway my opinion. Hopefully their next album progresses into something unique.
As far as as Rival Sons not progressing artisticly, that is a fair criticism with the last album. But Feral Roots utilizes more acoustic guitars from their past releases and the chord progressions and melodies are far more diverse then in the past.

Typical of Facebook's standard operating procedures -- it doesn't matter if what we're doing is ethical, it only matters that it's technically legal.
I fucking hate Facebook. It's arguably become the biggest waste of time in the world today.
I agree... if it weren't a such a good platform to keep in touch with friends and family spread out across the country, I would drop it. I hate to censor stuff, but the political trash on my timeline from both sides of the fence makes me sick. I just try to ignore, but some of the obvious bullshit on both sides my friends get caught up in would be funny if it weren't so sad.

Excellent review Gibsonfan...I've never been a fan of any of the WS/BMS on this tour.
Trampled was my favorite moment of 1980...all in all this tour suffered from some odd choices in the set list.

Tavares returns to the island and the Leafs are getting blown out, 6-1 in the 3rd. I haven't heard that Coliseum crowd go this nuts since the dark ages of the early 80's!
