somewhere deep inside thatistheplan still fights against its shackles. it will break free any day now...

You gave Daughters a ten but you gave my wife an STD? Not cool Antknee, not cool

Let’s Argue: The drummer from Nirvana sounds like the guy from Foo Fighters

I had been sad all day, but then I heard Anthony's sweet sweet baseline and nothing changed.

Anthony please do not say Frick my mom heard it and made me turn the video off

It’s not that Greta Van Fleet sounds like Led Zeppelin, it’s that they don’t sound like anyone except Led Zeppelin

Let’s argue, the lead singer from black sabbath sounds like Ozzy ozbourne

Melon is starting to look more and more like Anderson .Paak

Those harmonics were beautiful, melon

Hey buddy did you hear the news Its lets argue

I miss thatistheplan

Review the Minecraft soundtrack I’m dead serious about this

What a weird title Melon. Led Zeppelin doesn't sound like Led Zeppelin??

Theneedledrop fans don't actually watch the reviews. They like the melon who makes it.

That shirt is so beautiful on you! You should wear more purple.

You hate Greta Van Fleet and love Death Grips when they sound exactly the same wtf watermelon

I only ever watch these videos while taking a shit. That's not an insult it's just tradition.

LET'S ARGUE: fantano is not like thatistheplan

WRITE A DEATH GRIPS (childrens) BOOK!

I think you're going to need you start a new series called "let's argue about Greta Van Fleet."

In your Next video, *could you please play the bass with your feet?* ty

Bring back thatistheplan already

It's absurd to think they don't have a direct likeness to Led Zeppelin. They used the same guitar effects, amps, pedals, ect.

0:41 Greta Van Fleet's new album sounds nothing like Led Zeppelin 2:04 Theneedledrop is an outdated name by today's music standards 2:56 Do you think you'll ever get to interview Death Grips? What would you sacrifice in order to do so? 5:01 Student/college radio is extremely underappreciated 6:32 K-Pop stans don't actually like the music; they like the artists themselves 8:07 Stop trying to say that Reggaetron and Latin music is mediocre to review just because you can't speak Spanish 9:13 Is there a meme you've wanted to review this year but can't because of the end of Thatistheplan? 9:44 People have no idea what Modest Mouse actually sounds like 11:48 1969 is the most iconic and significant year in popular music 12:18 Due to their mature content, one could argue that Wu-Tang Clan is in fact not for children

Yah and biggie smalls doesnt sound like notorious B.I.G

Woah Anthony's hinting at writing a 33 1/3rd again huh?

The thing that annoys me about Greta Van Fleet is they say their biggest influence is rush

Robert Plant has a far wider vocal range then the guy from GVF. He has a similar high note, that’s about it. The problem I have with them is that they not only try to sound like Zeppelin, but they also dress and have 70s hair styles...it seems WAY too forced.

Only Persona 5 sounds like Persona 5. Review the Persona 5 OST.

Early Modest Mouse is a lot more akin to post-hardcore than their future stuff is to indie rock but, then again, I think thats true of most pioneering bands of indie rock in the early to mid 90s. Maybe you could point to Pavement or Yo La Tengo or maybe even Built to Spill as more typical indie rock than early Modest Mouse...

Dude I had this saved in my watch later a while ago and sure enough, you had the same opinion about the Moth memes and the Johnny Johnny ones as I did. Thank you for teaching me how to have good tastes in memes, Anthony.

Except they do sound like Led Zeppelin

You can bring back thatistheplan at any time man i feel like all that crap has blown over. Im still subbed im ready

Play some sunn O))) on that bass for the next let's argue intro

I am a fluent Spanish speaker, Latino father, Spaniard mother and I can say with certainty that reggaeton is mediocre.

20 seconds in and I just wanna see you do a full cover of Iambic 9 Poetry, love the bass noodles at the start of these vids!

Was that the second coming of Jaco Pastorius at the start?

THE MELON HAS SOME NEW GLASSES

Hey Anthony I really like you, hope you're doing well right now. The stuff you do and put out for us to watch or read is cooler than you probably know and I wanna say thank you for putting yourself out there! I know this isnt very eloquent and probably doesn't read very well but I've already typed this far

Dear Fantano, hope you have an AMAZING week. BTW IM GONNA SEE ICEAGE FOR THE FIRST TIME IN A COUPLE DAYS!!!!!

I'm sorry Melon, you know I love your name. :')

I am latino and still think that regeaton is a generally a pretty shitty and uninspired music genre

ThatIsThePlan reuploads? The best teeth in the game? In one week? I’m feeling a ThatIsThePlan revival baybeeeee

9:32 Loving your Johnny cosplay Anthony, keep up the good work

Melon you didn't have to keep using a tired meme where we depict you doing terrible things for a few likes on a KZfaq comment.

It's funny how in the early 90s and well into the 2000s, it was the less lyrical rappers/raunchy artists who had a bigger impact on music as a whole than their other universally respected contemporaries. Winning many federal cases that outlined freedom of expression in music as well as in music videos. There's an argument about them being more influential to the rap genre and the entire music artform as a whole than the traditional 90s rapppers we praise as pioneers today.

5:01 .....i think there was a study done, that your average adult builds their musical taste from the ages of 14 to 24... so it makes sense that student run college radio be the genesis of a young person's journey into different, avant-garde, non-pop related new music. I know it was for me. My favorite band of all time was TOO introduced to me in college.... Jane Doe had just come out, and naturally as a fan of Poison the Well, Glassjaw, Hopesfall and Thursday - a buddy of mine told me to "download" it and give it a shot (yes, download from kazaa like the rest of the savages in 2001). I heard it and wasn't quite blown away at first, but the more I kept returning to it, the more I kept hearing Concubine as that first track... so naturally, the more I got deeper and deeper. long story short, I became obsessed with them (hence... my profile pic). So if you're at that age, explore everything!! Whether it's college radio, mainstream pop radio or just listening to a great variety of artists you hear about through friends or social media, that's how taste is built.

BTW *one of the better intros* nicely done 👏👏👏

Day 25 of asking Fantano to review Rex Orange County - Apricot Princess

Let's agree: Fandango truly hates Machine girl, which is why he's still not reviewing dat album

on a serious note, i thought what you said about the modest mouse/new wave stuff was cool because we're witnessing it right now live before our eyes with "sound cloud rap" and "mumble rap" to a larger degree

I really enjoy your octagon glasses.

Great video anthony, thought it was kind of weird that you flashed the text "The Fuhrer was not a bad man" subliminally fourteen times in the 60 fps version of this video

Melon just does these videos to show off his bass guitar skills 😏

At the time of Modest Mouse's popularity height, they were the DE FACTO sound for indie bands. In the few years after Float On dropped, it seemed like every indie band had to have that sound, which contributed to indie being a genre term rather than an industry term.

That bass intro was the music from Sandy Beach in Jak and Daxter holy shit

the music int he beginning is really prettyyyy

Newthany Specstano I like ur glasses

For Los Angeles KSPC 88.7 is a college radio station that I have listened to for a very long time and they play a commendably large variety of music. If you live in the area give them a try, they do good work.

a needle drop is a recording from a vinyl record to another format such as digital/tape/cd that is traded among fans because the formats (mentioned) have not been released officially.

Why do we keep looking for "The second Beatles" when we already got "Wings" They're basically the same thing

My issue with GVF is that they sound and look like the rock n' roll of old, but they don't have the spirit of rock n' roll. The history of rock n' roll is a history of constant evolution (from chuck berry to elvis to the beatles to the stones to the who to hendrix... and so on), of rebelling against and moving on from the previous generations, being influenced by the past but then killing your idols through reinvention and making it your own. So that the music that you make doesn't sound like the 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s; it sounds like the rock n' roll of today and the future and just noise to the older generation. GVF is just nostalgia, retro novelty for that older generation.

Love Red Rocks amphitheater in your backgrounds

11:12 I was JUST thinking about that last night. We're on the same *wave* length apparently :p

If people straight up mistake your band for another band, the fact you sound just like them is no longer up for debate lol.

Reads title: uhhh yeah they do

I should buy new glasses too.Nice intro Fantano☝️

we're gonna need your bass Rig Rundown immediately.

Abt Kpop real quick you can see on spotify the streams and theres popular groups with low stream and equally popular group with a lots of stream so thats on that, and you're right about GVF in my opinion but their fans won't accept it for now

people like to overgeneralize every genre of music and thats fine but for ME personally, the reason i started listening to and enjoying BTS back in 2015 was because of the range and quality of their music. its fine that people see them as sort of just a dumb thing teenage girls like but for me personally there are few songs by them that lyrically have moved me and helped me survive through some very difficult times in life. for example, the song tomorrow is essentially about the repetitive and hopeless feelings that many young people experience in this modern world, and how even if things are hard now you should keep going . work hard to achieve your goals, and never forget where you started. maybe thats a little cheesy, but in a world where everyone seems to love cynicism, no artist ive listened to has come to represent hope in the future and in young people as much as BTS. ive been passively into kpop since 2011 and i can say without any doubt there are DEFINITELY some dumb, shallow people who are fans and well...isnt that they way it is for anything? there are certainly problems with the community and industry surrounding kpop but still that doesnt prevent me from enjoying the music that these artists have worked on. tl;dr just give something a REAL chance before knocking it and dont let the fans ruin something that might actually be quite good

Nice glasses, Melon. Do bring thatistheplan's channel back up if you can though. I wanna rewatch the meme review. Even if you don't make new stuff.

My college radio station still plays a lot of the same alternative they played when I attended ca. 2002.

They do tho

That “Wu Tang is not for the children” person is hilarious!

loving the octagon specs melon

My college radio plays top 40 shit, i need to get on and play noise

This is GVF's first Full Length LP and the Hate that it's getting is unreal . And it's coming Primarily from people who were Not even born when Zep was a Touring Band . It's so bad that a friend of mine who plays nothing but Rap & Alternative , hates GVF for sounding like Zep which he already hates to begin with . Truly weird . These guys are only in their early 20s . They will grow into their own over time . And as someone who did see Led Zep twice . I like em .

Lets argue: Rush is the quintessential prog rock band

I enjoy the octagon frames Melon, I kinda want some sunnies with those frames

tbh I didnt know bass had harmonics and ive been playing for a few years, you blow my mind melon!

Let’s make it clear they may sound like zeppelin but they do not copy them and if they do sound like led why is that bad, led is amazing and so is Greta

As a puertorican (where half of the popular Reggaeton artists come from), I think you're too soft on it.

Highway Tune is the only GVF song where I hear the similarity everyone keeps going on about. Aside from that, none of their stuff sounds like Zep to me, and that's coming from someone who once spent 2 straight months listening to nothing _but_ Zep, so I'm definitely more than familiar with their work.

2:05 i’ve been subbed to you for 1+ year and it just came to me what “theneedledrop” means i feel special

1969 is pretty much the focal point of popular music to me, although I’m biased because I’m all about rock and roll. You had the 60’s bands reaching absolute peaks with The Beatles’ Abbey Road, The Who’s Tommy, Arthur from The Kinks, Let It Bleed from The Rolling Stones, you had newer bands that would come to dominate the next decade like Led Zeppelin with their first two albums, the first CSN album and Neil Young’s first two solo records, the first inklings of progressive rock with King Crimson, Yes and Genesis releasing their first records and Jethro Tull putting out their second album which might as well have been the first. Not to mention Black Sabbath recorded their debut album to be released early the next year, and bands like Deep Purple were about to follow and crank up the distortion. Great stuff, I’m so excited.

Ok, so he thinks the band doesn't sound like Zeppelin. Their still unoriginal.

Handsome new glasses Anthony, but the frames are a little too thin against the green screen

I never really realized what the channel name actually is until that tweet just made me think about it for like 5 seconds.

Why is Anthony dressing up as my music teacher? Shame on you, Melon! Respect privacy!

Robert Plant himself said in an interview "that kid remembers me of someone I know very well" so yes they quite sound like Led Zeppelin, in the bad way but they do sound like Led Zeppelin

digging those glasses melon

The main issue with the popularity of college radio (this may be a problem specific to my area) is that the reception for the radio station really sucks.

Let me tell you the future for Greta van fleet.. 3 teenage brothers attain worldwide success, without really paying dues.. They're gonna tear each other apart with ego. They won't be talking to eachother, as one begins to think he's "the genius" of the group. First, it will be separate limos and backstage areas. Then, the others will quit, and one left will tour the world with a backup band of session players. He will continue calling himself " Greta van fleet" because you can't give up the brand name and dollars..

GVF got ya boi hot and bothered

Great glasses, Plaidtano. As for the KPOP comment, I'm not the biggest fan of the genre in the world but I personally like it because it is very glam and campy and performance-oriented, which is a good quality for pop.

I've been trying to get my pops to listen to new music for years. he never actually cared about any of it until I got him into GVF. Now he actually attempts to listen to the music I send him (king gizz & kikagaku moyo for example). It seems to me that if people really do stop listening to new music in their 30s that homage bands like GFV can serve as a gateway into new music for people who don't necessarily have an interest in """""today's music"""" because all these people really seem to care about is the musical aesthetic of their youth

Review Suspiria soundtrack

Mom's favorite is led Zeppelin, she was disappointed seeing Greta van fleet live. His voice can be cringey as hell live.

i love what u were playing at the beginning

That was iambic poetry 9 by squarepusher in the intro
