ever hear of Jet???

a band called Jet. ya i just picked up the CD and tried it out. A friend told me they were a strange mix of 60s, 70s, and 80s rock & roll. she wouldve been right. they actually rock&roll, pretty uncommon for a newer young band.

i say not bad. but ya when the one guy screams, or yells , whatever, in the one song i swear he sounds like frikken roger daltrey in Dont Get Fooled Again which is like my favorite song how could i not be shocked.

but i also say they sound too formulated. im givin this band time to find its element/groove and id like to hear them as they progress. i could learn to accept them if they could help bring back good music. hopefully this is just the beginning.

anyone else ever listen to Jet???

 

yeah I've listened to Jet cd "Get Born." Not bad, a couple of songs got me grooving "Cold Hard Bitch" "Get what you need", and "Look what you've done" has good lyrics. They got a similar sound as The Vines. as long as your into that kind of upbeat music they're a good band. They're actually australian. I think a couple more Cd's should help them find their sound. (usually an artists first cd is bombarded by the record company's ideas of what will sell.) Yeah, i'm keeping my ear out for them.

love,

ya i got their album its pretty good

 

yep jet rock...full stop

 

the cd has a similar vibe as the Stones album Exile On Mainstreet...will surely be interesting to see where they are going.

 

I imagine I'll go off Jet fairly soon. "Are You Gonna Be My Girl?" is getting quite a lot of airplay in England and it gets me smiling and the ole foot tapping, but I don't think I'll miss it when it goes away.

I'm basing this on what I think about other new rock n roll bands, like The Strokes and The Vines and I know that's a bad move. But there just doesn't seem to be anything too special about these acts once you get down to it. I'm hoping to catch them at Glastonbury so they could prove me well wrong yet!

 

they almost sound old but yet.... something is missing. or something needs to be taken way.

ya "cold hard bitch" is one of my favs. it almost feels like im listening to an old band whose cds are impossible to find, so this is the next best thing.

feels like home. almost.

i think ill cozy up to them.

 

YEA, I hear them every 23 minutes on the radio.......I like em, but overkill is overkill.....

 

That song Be my girl reminds me of the song on the Royal caribian cruise commercials

 

you mean" lust for life"?

 

jet? the drug in fallout 2?

 

LOL! I was wondering if I was the only one who thought of that. Ever do the airplane glue? lol

 

jet rules!

love!

 

My son just got the cd. I love Cold Hearted Bitch, the rest of the musics good too.

 

Jet isn't that bad. I heard their songs and I like their song "Cold Hard Bitch"...

love.

I like Jet a lot. I bought Get Born not too long ago. My faves are Are you gonna be my girl, Get what you need, Get me outta here Rollover dj and Look what you'Ve done.

 

I watched some coverage of this years Isle Of Wight Festival on the TV last night and Jet were one of the bands playing... I didn't see anything of interest there... Could've been a sunday afternoon pub gig if I closed my eyes.. lol

So, the search continues for a recent band that are actually any good... I'm not holding my breath..

 

i haven't heard any of their songs, all i know is that it's just another garage rock band like the strokes (who i think are great), i just don't feel the need to download some of their songs. I don't listen to the radio, but i think they're rarely played here.

 

Ha. Hahahahaha.

Don't get me started on jet. A cover band that got lucky. I didn't mind their first single until they started playing it 10 times a day on the radio.

This sums up how I feel about jet:

Rating: 3.7


"Jet! You're finally here! Nice to meet you; I'm Vali, I run the venue. Jesus, guys, I wasn't sure you were gonna show up tonight."

"Sorry, man. You know, bitches."

"Nice. But listen: You guys got a job to do now. We got a packed house, like, 50,000 shitfaced Americans out there and upwards of five Belgian exchange students, all of them dying for a fresh take on the old-school rock 'n' roll. You Aussie sons of bitches think you can handle that? I mean not that I'm worried, I have complete faith in you guys. Just go out there and give them what they want."

"Wait, man, are you telling us what to do? Fuck you, we're Jet! Wherever we play people sleep with us."

"That's great, but the crowd's getting anxious. You gotta get out there and play 'Last Chance'. People will love the shit out of that one."

"Hey, all you American motherfuckers, we're Jet! Here's a song that sounds like AC/DC, a band you love."

"What the? They're booing?! Guys, quick, get back over here. We gotta rethink our strategy."

"Man, American crowds are fucked up. Everybody loves AC/DC. That song is practically an AC/DC song."

"Guys, guys, don't worry about it, the crowd just needs to get warmed up. Go out there and do your big hit, 'Are You Gonna Be My Girl'. Seriously, the crowd is gonna eat this shit up. We got all the AV effects you wanted: Right now we got event security bringing out thirty fuckin' angry alligators with top hats on, Iggy Pop's gonna shoot out of that cannon, and midway through we're gonna send in the kid from the iPod commercial. Still working on the Oxycontin, though, sorry."

"Man, that's bullshit!"

"Listen, Vali, those alligators better be angry."

"Yeah, and no beret shit, either. The alligators want top hats."

"Fine, okay, done. Look, the crowd wants you back, just get back out there. Everything's all set. This time, the shit's gonna rock."

"Hey assholes, it's us again, Jet! Here's the song you came to hear, a shameless rip-off of 'Lust for Life' by Iggy Pop, who is here with us tonight in this cannon."

"'Fuck Jet!'"? Is that what the kids are screaming? Woof! Guys, get back here!"

"I cannot fucking believe this! Don't these people know who Iggy Pop is?!"

"Guys, I don't know what to tell you. I think you need to do some ballads. The crowd wants to hear some ballads. You got anything that sounds like Oasis, The Wallflowers, Bon Jovi?"

"Fuck you, man, we have songs that sound exactly like those guys. These kids won't know the difference. Awright, motherfuckers, let's get out there and melt some hearts. Hello again, Americans! Do you like insipid love songs that sound like wedding band covers? Get ready for five of them!"

"Jet! You guys are covered in shit! What's going on out there?"

"They threw their shit at us!"

"Wow, I have never seen that happen before. I'm sorry about this, but you guys are gonna need to come up huge. Do you have anything you can do?"

"We have a couple songs that sound like the Stones."

"Perfect! Everybody loves the Stones. Just get out there and do them. Maybe throw in a song called 'Get What You Need', which theoretically would sport a pilfered Kinks' guitar riff from 'All Day and All of the Night' and a bassline kidnapped from The Temptations' 'Get Ready'. If there's one thing Americans love, it is Rock-Motown. Just go give them some Stones, which they love, then a little honky-tonk piano because that's awesome, then close with some Rock-Motown."

"Oh my god, this is terrible. Jet! Come here. Stop playing. Listen, you guys are not going over at all. I can count the people out there on one fist. You better bail out quick."

"Dude, I don't understand. We sound like everyone's favorite old rock bands, we have insipid lyrics, we say 'Come On!' and 'Oh Yeah!' every five seconds, we have no discernable identity, and we're from Australia. What could people possibly dislike about us?"

"No idea, brah. Listen, why don't you do one more song, like about how DJs aren't actually musicians and you don't get how they pull tail."

"Oh, you mean 'Rollover DJ'? The one that goes, 'You've been playing other people's songs all night,' right?"

"Yes, that is exactly the song I'm talking about." -Nick Sylvester, October 31st, 2003" http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/record-reviews/j/jet/get-born.shtml

 

hahaha... butterfly you made me laugh

yes they are pretty formulated copycat, but im gonna give them time. Rock and roll is dying in America. We cant let that happen!!!!! If bands like Jet can get mainstream we can get even better, more origanal bands out there. Somebodys got to open the door and keep rock alive. ok, so i highly doubt Jet will be able to do it... but if they did, id get behind them.

anyway....


thats that.
