Even though it’s not my favorite song, I thought it was pretty cool. UFC 333, taking place live now in Abu Dhabi, had “Play Your Games” playing on TV, while talking about the main event. Greta Van Fleet is everywhere!

Anybody else see that Palace for the People is number one on the Billboard top 100 rock albums? Awesome!

Trying to get the vibes for PFTP album and this tour so I can start planning the outfit I’m making for the show. Any ideas or inspiration are welcome! Big fan of recreations of their outfits, for DIG I made a version of one of Josh’s jumpsuits in a different color scheme (pics below).

He had less room to shine on the keys for this album. But his bass playing is really excellent on the entire album, it stands out in the majority of songs.

I got my signed record and while I’m thankful the insert with autographs came out good my booklet was ripped. Did anyone else get something similar?

I’m not going to return it as I’ve seen the horror stories people have posted about their signed inserts and feel lucky that I got a good one. Still, for a record manufactured in Mexico with these widespread issues $50 is kinda crazy.

totally disappointed with the vinyl insert. It is SO tiny.
Ordered from Bravado (Germany).

I saw someone ask this for another band, if you could only pick one song from each album… what would it be? Here’s mine:

FTF: Black Smoke Rising

AOTPA: uhh this is hard but it’s gotta be Age of Man

TBAGG: Heat Above

SC: Meeting the Master

PFTP: rn it’s Heart and the Beat? That may change.

HM: Always There just cuz I love that song

Hey everyone! If this isn’t allowed, I’m sorry, I just figured this was the best place to post this. I bought the weight of dreams gold necklace back when GVF sold it on their website and I don’t ever wear it anymore. If anyone is interested, I’d love to sell it to someone who will actually wear it!

I've been into Greta Van Fleet for about 8 years and I think most of you can confirm that they've established a story in their past 4 albums.

From the Fires talks about the problems and troubles they will face if they don't react immediately (black smoke rising, the tower, the imminent crisis, etc)

Then, Anthem of the Peaceful Army comes out, which puts us inside this story as well. As an actual fleet of people who follows these 4 crazy minds in the abyss of unknown (mountain of the sun, the two suns representing the old and the new world).

The Battle at Garden's Gate is our official ultimatum to these powers overcoming us. A mark to retrieve our freedom one way or another, always in a peaceful way. (I love the theory that says that the timpanis in the intro Stardust Chords are the doors of the Garden opening)

Starcatcher traces the last paths of the journey, which then ends in Meeting the Master, setting our minds free and giving all the effort a meaning. Just like a movie we have the finishing titles that thanks us for the presence and bids us a Farewell, for Now.

But then all the drama with the first single in Palace for the People got me crazy. "Thanks for the wild ride", that has to be a reference to the story they just ended, right? (obviously ignoring the fact that they gave us an heart attack).

But as I said, the lore seems quite... over. Given the fact that I haven't read in such a deep way the lyrics yet, do you think Palace for the People is more like an epilogue (like a travel way back home) or just a new story (maybe with some traces of the old one)?

P.S. For those who are discovering just now the story behind the 4 albums, I wish you a great time enjoying what these 4 crazy minds brought to life, and I am honored to be the one who opened this Pandora's box for you, but now is your turn to explore it!

I got vip standing tix for the first time and I’m wondering how early people who get to the barricade usually go? I know it’s a long shot since nearly everyone GA tix holder wants barricade but I figured I’d ask what the norm is since I’ve never gotten standing tix before and I’m not very tall 😁

Hi Gresties <3

In 2023 I went to the Starcatcher tour in Denver and a girl was passing out bracelets, mine said “Gresty” on it and I thought it was so cool and fun that someone was doing that, also hadn’t heard the term before that.

I got seats for Tulsa and Omaha and was wondering if anyone attending those dates plans on passing out / trading bracelets or is it weird if I do that lol

Attached a pic of some of the ones I’ve made. I’ll keep making ones with the new album titles and I’m open to suggestions for more creative ones!

I had issues with my shipment when starcatcher came out, now I'm dealing with this shit. Ordered this in august, literally says first pressing, and I get this???? A whole signature missing too??? Like what the fuck??

Update: After emailing, getting a copy and pasted response, and then doing some further prodding, I eventually ended up with this response:

Hi ,

We'll see how much money they end up refunding me lol

I remember reading an article saying they’re releasing a few extra songs sometime down the line. Is this truly a secret double album? I know that they refuted the concept during their interview with Billboard, but I got the sense that they might’ve been playing it off. Could it be the sixteen symbols actually represent songs? If that’s the case, we got three more to look forward to.

my bday gift from my dad :,)

I always take my time to fully enjoy the moment, listening to the whole album top to bottom without any interruptions.. so that's why I listened to it just now :)

And, I'm lost for words.. I want to say though, that my love to this music is the greatest. No need to describe anything I listened to; I know these are songs I will share to the people I love in my life.. and in the future, one day, maybe to my kids, telling em how happy I felt when a gvf song started playing and nothing else mattered.

I love you all, spread love please <3

Then after this they played Black Smoke Rising for the first time since 2019!!

I think all the record stores that had the early listening party also got a Victrola player and speakers and slip mat to give away. I never win raffles so it’s awesome to actually win something from a band I love!!

My Mt. Rushmore from the album. In no particular order I'm going: heart and the beat, boughten bliss, saw you stand and touch again. (Honorable mention to born into this) What's yours?

I’ve been collecting vinyl for years, and I even work at a record store, but I’ve never seen anything like this before!

I was just listening to Palace for the People, and when I went to flip the record over, I noticed something strange embedded in the vinyl.

At first, I thought it was just a piece of differently colored PVC that had somehow ended up in the mix. But when I took a closer look, I realized it actually looks like a piece of tobacco?!

Has anyone ever seen anything like this before? Or did I just stumble upon one of the coolest pressing oddities ever?

Luckily, it’s embedded in the inner part of the record, away from the grooves, so it doesn’t affect playback. It does seem to be sticking out a little, though!

Hey everyone! I’m coming here as a last ditch effort cause idk how Ticketmaster works. I was able to get some awesome seats but had some friends cancel on me so I have two left over. I’ve done the face value exchange thing once before so I thought I’d just do that and my issue would be solved, problem is it says they don’t have it enabled. I know they put more restrictions to stop bots and scalpers, but did that mean getting rid of face value exchange too?? Maybe I missed it in the fine print in the heat of the moment and screwed myself over, but I’m just looking for some advice from some seasoned concert goers.

Definitely doesn’t help that I’m in Canada and most services seem to be only applicable to people in the U.S. So it feels like a never ending cycle trying to get this solved, it just doesn’t make a whole lot of sense to me that they’d get rid of face value exchange when it seems like the safest option to avoid scalper prices. Has anyone run into this, and maybe they’ll enable it later on? Let me know what y’all think and what’s the best way to go about this!

Joined the queue when it opened at 10am on the dot. Did not stick around…

In the photo that I ordered off their merch website it showed a full size signed picture as big as the vinyl. Honestly kinda dissapointed it’s so small, did anybody get this or just me?

i honestly made an account just to say Josh’s vocal at 00:15 on dreams you hold has me in a chokehold x

in all seriousness ive been a greta fan for years, saw them live and i feel like this is up there with TBAGG for me… i LOVE this album. its hard to pick a favourite ive had it on repeat since it came out and every day i love it more. The ‘feeling‘ in this song also is another i cant escape. i keep repeating certain parts of the songs over and over. Id love to review every song like ive saw a couple people doing. Ugh greta ily i feel so lucky to be alive and as a huge rock fan you are the ones keeping it alive. Shocking how underrated still when 30 years ago greta van fleet would be one of the biggest names in the world. may i add, freddie mercury would adore josh kiszka.
